Chapter 817: Lucy's Next birthday.

(October 30. Royal Woods, well somewhere in Royal Woods.)

We now go to the location to celebrate the 11th birthday of Lucy Loud, an old mansion lurking far from the town and deep within the woods, but they hold the event outside and not inside. They don't hold it inside, because it might not be stable, but instead this old mansion is used as display for the whole party, and being here makes the Young Morticians club recall what they did.

Haiku, Dante, Persephone, Morpheus and Boris gaze upon the very same mansion from which they all went to, and deep down, they regret being here. Well, sorta. They did manage to get some good things out of this place, but unfortunately they couldn't speak with the ghost of this place.

Haiku sighs. "This is very unsettling, the very same mansion from where we sought out the ghost of the one who owns this place."

Boris nods. "Agreed, we could've learned more if we communed with the ghost, and sadly the grave of this man is no longer here."

Dante didn't like those words. "Yes, horrible events for the very owner to be sent to another cemetery that is far from the domain he once resided within."

Persephone sighs. "A true and unruly moment. We wish and pray his soul to be relished in the hopes of the darkness. To be saved within the shadows of the lands we all know and respect."

Morpheus has his crow on his shoulder and he pets the little birds head. "Such as it is, for those who need to be given the chances to be spoken from beyond what the world of the living is made from."

"Indeed." They all turn around and they are confronted by the Archlich of Naxxramas, Kel'Thuzad. "Greetings children, this is something you all have been looking forward to, is it not?"

Haiku goes over and she bows to the Archlich. "Yes, you're grace. We have been trying to seek out a spirit who is tormented and learn more about the sole reason as to why this soul was condemned to such turmoil."

Kel'Thuzad thinks about this. "Well, from what you all should know and have already known. That when tampering and meddling with the spirits from beyond the grave, it would come at such a horrible price and thus you would've all been brought into a part of damnation."

"But I tell you this, the former tenant of this place is at peace. He is Gothic yes, and so is the family long before and all because their bloodline was ancestral to the long life of a bloodline within a witch during the times of the 1600's, and thus they continued the witchcraft arts, and right now that witchcraft is over, and the new bloodline is... Complicated and not like the one from long ago."

Boris scoffs. "The new people of the bloodline, are nothing more than modern fools."

Kel'Thuzad nods. "That is correct and right now this mansion has no spirits within. There is no essence of a soul nearby, and nothing left but the damned and shattered damnation of this great home." He then looks to the children. "A shame you all couldn't be able to meet or speak with this ghost, but for now... Let us return to the festivities, with your friend who is turning 11 this year."

The Young Morticians Club nod, and they follow the Archlich back to the party, which is a few feet away from them and the whole thing is as Gothic and dark as any Goth kid's birthday, and this one has some food that only suits the Goth's and the members of their club.

There are tons of gifts and the ominous music that makes the whole place sound creepy, and all members of Lucy's family is there and they are all enjoying this whole... Well, they are trying to enjoy this birthday party, this is kinda hard for them to handle since this is all Goth themed.

Haiku then goes over and she sees Lincoln and Jordan and even Linka, but she notices something off. "Lincoln Spellman, have you seen Lucy?" They all look around. "From what I recall, she was here earlier and now she is not."

Lincoln is concerned. "Well, this seems less than normal. Let me find her guys." They all watch as Lincoln runs off to look for Lucy, and they are confused about what he did when he raced off.

"Umm, why the hell did Lincoln just take off on all four legs?" asked Leon. This surprises Loona and Luna, and they know that this is something they must speak with onto the Guardian Gyro.

Then Jordan looks around. "Guys, did the Guardian say he was coming here or not?"

Anub'Arak does recall something. "Yes, I recall he spoke to me earlier, and he told me to inform all of you that the Guardian of the Realms is going to be occupied, in another world that all of you know about, a world where you all haven't been to in a long, long while."

(Not too far from the Birthday Party.)

We now go to where Lucy Loud is, she is walking down the cobblestone path and she is looking for something from which the note wedged between the pages of the book says and she is confused about this, but she must find out what she is looking for.

Lucy looks around, and she sees the trees that all look so haunting and very spooky and she likes this, Lucy then looks across the tree line far from the mansion is an undead base, and that base is slowly growing to make this area with the mansion to become part of the whole undead base, ruled by the Traitor King and yet commanded by Luna Frost Spellman.

But right now, Lucy ha to focus on something else, and that something is what is put onto the note she is looking at. What does she see on this little paper? The image of an old and twisted tree and it has face markings carved onto it and she is confused.

'Alright, where the heck is this tree and what am I looking for?' She then stops walking and she is shocked by what she sees. "Oh my..." Lucy sees, this old oak tree, and it looks ominously spooky. The tree has carvings all around the mid-section of the lumbering flora.

Each of the carvings are heads, which are in the form of a werewolf, a giant mantis, an abominable snowman, some gnomes and some scarecrows and what looks like zombies, and so many strange monsters and creatures and this is something Lucy is surprised to see. "Whoa. I like this tree."

Lucy goes around and she looks for whatever it is that she is trying to look for and soon she stops and looks to the ground and what she sees makes her smile. "Jackpot." She goes over to the bottom of the tree, from which is located under the carved head of Slappy the Dummy, and she picks up the key.

Lucy smiles seeing this key, with the initials of the man who made the books of Goosebumps. "Yes! Found it, thank you Transcript from long ago..."

"Lucy... Lucy! Lucy, where the heck are you?" The voice of her former brother is heard and so she goes over to join him in the party, but she doesn't know what she found, and she doesn't plan to show it to the others in her club, yet.

(The Loud House, Night Time.)

Lucy is on her bed and she has the transcript in her hands, and she looks to the lock and then she looks to the key she found at her birthday party. Lucy sighs and she looks back to where the lock would be the fit for the key.

Lucy then thinks about this. 'I do not know what I will find, but this is the transcript of a book made by the one known as R.L Stein and his whereabouts is truly unknown. Whatever this is, I might be the first in the world, to read what he forgotten to make.'

Lucy puts the key into the hole and it fits, she turns it and the lock is unlocked and she opens the transcript bind and sees... Nothing? 'Wait what? No, what? What is this?' She checks all the pages and all of them are blank. 'This... This makes no sense, why would this be empty unless...' She then thinks about this.

'Hmmm, perhaps this is different from the others, and perhaps R.L Stein didn't have any clue how this could work and so he stopped and left it blank. Dang it, a shame I couldn't read this new one, at least I can be able to read the others and catch up on all the books he made. This has been quite disappointing, and my friends will be disappointed as well.'

Lucy then puts the binded transcript into the box and then under her bed. She sees her sister Lynn Jr is fast asleep, and snoring. Lucy then goes back into her coffin and she closes it and then she goes back to sleep. She tries to get some sleep, and yet she has a very bad feeling about this.

Lucy doesn't know, that the replica of Slappy the Dummy in the glass container, is slowly twitching, and then it opens its eyes and he smiles. "Knock, knock. Halloween has come, for some revenge."

(Far from Royal Woods.)

The old oak tree, the spooky one in the forest near the old mansion, the tree begins to shake, and then something happens to the large lumbering flora, it's cracking and one of the carvings, the werewolf head... It blinks and then it sniffs the air, and its eyes glow yellow.

The whole scene faces to black and the sound of a howl is heard.

To be continued, for Halloween.

A/N: Well, looks like something is going to happen tomorrow, and all thanks to... Well, Lucy... She figured it out and now, she's going to be responsible for unleashing something horrible, and spooky. Time for some Goosebumps people! Leave a review and tell me what you all think of this everyone.
