Author's Note: I started on this match the day before Halloween. (It was to fill time before the Halloween special, really.) I didn't know where I was going with this until I managed to get through the rest of last week. I figured we haven't heard from England, 2P!England, and the nightcomers in a while. So, here we are. I will give them more to do in the near future. Speaking of the near future, I fill like we are going to see a certain doctor again next week. For now, enjoy this week's match.

Match Twenty: Samhain:

The nightcomers are out tonight. The fog rolled in thick. Allison and her daughters were out tonight. They too know that the circus is in town. However, they aren't going to go. They have other plans tonight. The black pumpkins around all over London. Those are the marked ones. Hecate has a guess about the pumpkins and the dark circus. She will look into this later. Right now, she has her own plans. So do the rest of her sisters and her mother.

It is Samhain after all. Or Halloween as you common folk call it. Either way, they had work to do.

-Tessa-

Her area is in the west. She doesn't know what she is doing now. Her sisters were either toeing the line or going rogue. Tessa was just in the middle. She needed something to do.

Tessa lit up her lantern. A soft glow filled the darkness. A small smile came across her face. The witch smirked to herself. However, she knew that she wasn't alone. Tessa chuckled to herself.

"You don't have to hide like that," she said. She turned to see a black mist coming from around the corner.

"Heh," Tessa said. "It's you." The mist started to take the form of a man. Long white hair trembled down to his waist. He looked so pale that he stood out in the dark. He stood naked except for the mist floating around him. His eyes had no pupils. Tessa stepped forward and caressed his cheek.

"You just had to come out here, didn't you?" she asked. He didn't answer.

"Heh," she said again. Looks like she wasn't going to be alone tonight. Tessa stood back with a smirk on her face.

"I suppose you have something for me then?" she asked. The pale man opened his mouth wide and reached inside. His hand disappeared into his throat. He handed her a piece of white wriggling fleshy mass. Tessa wrinkled her nose.

"Ew, gross," she said as she took it. What was it this time? Tessa looked down at the mass. She cocked her head to the side.

"Yep, that looks like a piece of thigh," she said. The pale man started grunting.

"Hm?" Tessa asked. He opened his mouth again and reached down into his throat. The nightcomer had a curious look on her face.

"What are you doing?" she asked. The pale man dug around in his throat for a moment. He finally pulled out something he held in his fist.

"Hm?" Tessa asked. "What's this?" The man pulled out her hand and placed the object on her palm. Curious, the nightcomer took a look for herself.

"What did you give me?" she asked. Tessa looked at her hand. Her eyes lit up when she saw a small bass key.

"Oh!" she said. "You really did hold on to this for me. How long?" He doesn't answer with words. The nightcomer smiled.

"I see," she said. Tessa turned and walked down the street. She looked over her shoulder.

"You coming?" she asked. The pale man didn't say anything. He floated off of the ground. Tessa chuckled.

"Heh," she said. He followed her down the street without saying a word. Meanwhile, Tessa smirked to herself. Now, she had her answer on what she was going to do next.

-Sabine-

Her area is in the south. Sabine has an ally on her side. She's meeting someone out here tonight. Sabine looked around with her hands behind her back.

"Yoo-hoo!" she said. "I'm here!" A low whistle caught her attention. Sabine smiled and turned her head. There he was.

"Good evening," Johann said. He gave her a bow. Sabine bowed back.

"You're late," she said.

"No, I'm not," he said. The nightcomer smirked at him.

"Heh," she said.

"So how have you been?" the doctor asked. Sabine straightened up as she cleared her throat.

"I'm good," she said. "And you?" Johann tipped his hat.

"Good," he said.

"How have you been with collecting your crew?" Sabine asked.

"Great," Johann said. "I am just about finished, in fact." The nightcomer whistled aloud.

"Wow!" she said. Sabine looked around for a bit.

"Who are you looking to recruit?" she whispered. His lips curved into a hungry smirk. He leaned in and whispered into her ear. Sabine covered her mouth as she gasped.

"Oh!" she said. The nightcomer paused for a moment.

"But how are you going to do that?" she asked. Johann smirked as he tapped the side of his nose.

"Would you like to come along and see?" he asked.

"You know I would," she said. He held out his hand.

"Come, my lady," he said. Sabine giggled as she took his hand. They disappeared down the street into the night.

-Hecate-

Her area is in the east. Hecate just came back from Ikebukuro. Everything was falling into place. The Saika-tadpole baby was going to start developing soon. Plus, there was going to be more bloodshed. She couldn't wait to see what was going to happen next.

Suddenly, her phone rang.

"Hello?" Hecate asked. A smile came across her face.

"Oh, it's you. How have been? Good. Good," she said. She rolled her eyes.

"Mother is having me do this lame scavenger hunt. I am just playing along for now. No, the plan is still on. Everything is going on how I set it up. Did you get it? Good," she said. Hecate looked around for a moment.

"Just hang tight until I get back to Ikebukuro," she whispered. "I'll be back in a couple of weeks. Sit tight." The nightcomer hung up her phone and shoved it into her pocket. Back to work. Hecate took one more look around. The woman started to walk down the street. She took one more glance around. When did this fog get so thick?

-Allison-

Her area is in the north. Allison knows that her daughters are up to something. She was going to have to deal with them later. They were getting close.

Two angels were awake and active. The third one was in pieces. Lucky for them, those pieces were coming together. Still, it wasn't enough. The tadpoles were ripe. Why haven't they started to breed yet? She was going to have to make something happen.

The nightcomer pulled out her phone.

"Hello, it's me," she said. "I think it's about time to push things further. If we are going to do it, we are going to have to do it tonight." The nightcomer listened for a moment. She began to frown.

"I don't want to hear that," she said. "I don't care how it gets done. Just do it! Got it?" Her lips started to curve into a smile.

"Excellent, much better," Allison said. "I will talk to you later." She hung up her phone and shoved it back into her pocket. The nightcomer had to get back to work. Gabriel wasn't going to rebuild himself. Allison turned around when she heard a sound. A small smirk came across her face.

"Oh good, you're here," she said. "I didn't think you would show up." The nightcomer held out her hand.

"Come," she said. "Shall we get going?"

-Oliver-

He himself has his own plans. Oliver straightened up his bowtie in the mirror. The man broke into a huge grin. He was going on a date tonight. The English man couldn't believe his luck either. She was a young thing from Brighton. The poor dear was lost in the thick fog. She just wanted to get home. Oliver just happened to be there at the right place at the right time. He held out his hand and offered his hand to her.

"You look lost, little dear," Oliver said. "Here, let me walk you home." His words sounded sweeter than honey. It was so easy for this young lady to fall under his spell. She took his hand and let him lead her down the street. From there, Oliver just had to make his mark on her.

Oliver turned and walked out of the bathroom. He made his way down the hall. He passed the room where Arthur was being kept. His double was still sitting in the chair in his endless daze. Such a shame. He really wanted to meet him properly. But it was what it was.

Oliver gave him a little wave.

"See you later," he said. The man blew a kiss at his double before walking out the door. Arthur didn't move as it slammed closed.

-Arthur-

He's sitting alone again. Arthur is still lost and doesn't seem to know how to get back. Maybe he's lost forever. Or maybe not.

There's a voice whispering in his head tonight. For the first time, it seems to reach his mind. Only one word seemed to bring him back from the darkness.

"Awaken."
