Chapter 1- Halloween

Disclaimers: I don't own slayers, no matter how much I wish I did.

Note: Well, finally being true to my name, I'm writing a Slayers fic!! This fic takes place after Try.


"Come on, Meg. You're fifteen. Just getting candy for Halloween is boring. We gotta do something... scarier!" giggled Kate evilly.
Meg sighed. "Yeah, but going into a closed off, not to mention supposedly haunted cave that nobody's ever come out of isn't exactly what I had in mind."
"Then what did you have in mind, Lina Inverse?" asked Katie.
Meg chuckled. She had dressed up as Lina Inverse for Halloween, and Meg was dressed as Filia. Meg had even used temporary dye to turn her blonde hair into the same reddish color that Lina had. "I don't know, Filia."
"I'll give you my candy if you go in."
"Why don't you go in?"
"Because you're not offering me candy."
"Hey! Meg! Katie! There you are," called Meg's brother, Matt.
"Uh, hi, Matt," said Meg to her older sibling.
"What are you doing by the haunted cave?" he asked.
"I could ask you the same thing, Trunks," said Meg. Her brother was of course dressed as Trunks.
"Well, Lina. I was looking for you."
"Meg was just about to go into the cave," said Katie.
"Untrue," said Meg.
Matt laughed. "I'll give you my candy if you go in," he said.
"And I will give you mine," said Katie.
Meg considered a minute, then shrugged. "Two bags of candy. How can I resist?" she said, taking their candy. "I'm off!" she said, walking into the cave.

Ten minutes later she was still going further into the cave. She pointed her flashlight at the walls. Nothing unusually, let alone scary. Meg saw a light ahead. The other end of the cave? Could be. She was curious as to where this cave came out. She increased her speed and walked toward the light. Her flashlight flickered, and faded out. She flipped the switch a couple of times, with no result. The only light was the one that was ahead of her. She ran toward it. She knew that she'd never be able to find her way out of the cave otherwise. Suddenly she stopped. Why would there be a light at the end when it was night outside?
Meg didn't like this one bit. Suddenly, the light went out. Now Meg was in pitch black. She couldn't see anything. She walked toward the wall with one had extended, the other clutching the three bags of candy. She was hoping she could feel her way along the wall to the outside. She walked toward the wall for awhile. She knew she should have felt the wall by now. She kept walking. Suddenly, she was falling. In the darkness, she must have walked off some sort of cliff. After that thought, Meg lost consciousness.


Alright, I know Ch.1 was short, but hey, it was a good place to end the chapter.
