It's nearly Halloween and thus I find the need to contribute to it. You have been warned. Do not own nothing.

Chapter 36

'Now do you know what it is time for?' Ginger asked her friends as the credits for 27 dresses came on the screen.

'Moulin Rouge?' Adyson said. The girls groaned clearly not happy with her idea.

'Nope , it's time for scary ghost stories!' She wiped out a flashlight and flicked it on under her chin.

'Really Ginger?' Gretchen stated.

'What I like ghost stories.' She protested.

'Can't we watch Moulin Rouge first?'

'I promise we'll watch it after but I have a really good one.' She whined.

'Alright fine.' Gretchen mumbled.

Ginger grinned and clicked the lights off. She brought the flashlight under her chin and began her story. 'On a cold windless night a couple left their home. They were intent on taking a short walk around the block before retiring. However this did not happen.

The young couple was a little ways away from their house when they heard a branch snap!'

The group gasped.

'The woman turned around to see what was the matter but she saw no one. The entire block was empty. Even the lights in the windows of the suburban houses were out. It seemed as if everyone had taken to an early bed time. The sunset had unnaturally set quickly and now it was a blinding ink black. The woman couldn't believe what had occurred so she begged her husband to take her home.

He didn't understand what she meant because in his eyes everything was fine. The woman thought that she must be crazy or was simply on edge.

So she ignored the feeling of dread growing inside her. She held her husband's hand tightly and kept walking. Then she heard a howl in the night. Even though they were miles away from anywhere where a wolf pack could be. Once again she told her husband that she wanted to go back. But he didn't seem to hear her.

No matter how loud she yelled, he wouldn't turn around. Then she felt a sharp pain in the back of her head and blacked out.'

Ginger paused. She smiled to see that her friends were very scared from her story.

'T-then what…happened?' Gretchen stumbled.

'Nobody knows. The husband also disappeared so there were no witnesses. Eventually they gave up. Said they were long gone and there was no finding them. But legend says that on this night every year you can hear the wife's last scream echo through the city. In fact it was said that her and her husband lived in this very house.'

'Oh pish posh there's no such thing as ghosts.' Adyson said crossing her arms. However she was still shivering and looked like she didn't believe her own words.

Just then the lights flickered. The light turned on then off again and then on then off again…

'This is getting really creepy.' Holly mumbled.

'Girls I think it's time to get our 'Run out of Ginger's house screaming patch.'' Isabella announced hopping up.

'Hold on just a minute there has to be a logical explanation for this.' Gretchen said.

Just then the windows swung open in the living room casting a cold breeze on the room. The girls shivered but not just from the cold. 'You know what I haven't got that patch yet and I really want one.'

Gretchen was the first terrified girl to leave the house, the others followed behind. They ran across the street and ducked behind a bush. Isabella turned to Ginger and asked.

'Ginger where exactly is your mom?'

'She's out with this guy she met on at some restaurant.'

'So you don't know where she is then?'

'No, no I…I'm sure she told me the restaurant's name but I just can't remember it.' Ginger snuck a look over at her house. All seemed normal except that the windows were pushed in because of the wind. She could see her entire living room. The lights were still blinking.

She quickly hid herself as if to avoid her house from seeing her. Then they heard it. The distant howl of a wolf in the middle of the Suburbs.

Reviews are very good.
