Halloween 1988 Part Two


"Come on you girls hurry up!" Rachel called from downstairs for the second time, then went to get her bag.

The girls ran down the stairs. "Come on Rachel I thought you were ready!" Jamie cried.

"I am, let's go!" she led them outside, totally unaware of the Shape watching from outside, and once sure they were gone, he went in and up the stairs. Once up he spotted the picture box with it's contents spilled out and reached down, skimmed through the items. He was surprised to find one of himself, and angered by the picture of his sister, sitting on a block. He skimmed through, and for the first time really got to see his niece's faces. The picture was of Laurie giving Jamie a piggy back ride, Jennifer wrapped around her leg, all of them laughing and having a good time.

Now it was time for them to be where they belonged, home.


"Trick or treat!" candy was dropped into their bags and they giggled. "Thank you."

Jamie and Jennifer once again locked hands and ran from the persons porch, excited by their first trick or treating experience. Their bags were already half full, but it didn't seem like enough.

They returned to Rachel who laughed as they hurriedly moved to the next house. "Aren't you done yet?"

"Nope!" They ran into the kids from school who had made fun of them earlier and froze. One kid lifted his mask and studied them, then grinned. "Hey Jamie, hey Jenni, nice costumes!"

"Thanks." Jennifer said softly, afraid they'd tease them more.

"Come on!" The boy waved them to come with them to the next house, which just happened to be Sheriff Meeker's home, where Rachel's love interest Brady had been fooling around with the sheriff's daughter. Distraught, Rachel moved to pull the girls away but he grabbed her and began speaking with her.

"Come on!" The little boy told Jamie and Jennifer.

"Ok." Jamie said but her sister grabbed her arm.

"James, I don't know if we should..."

"Rachel's busy, we won't go far." Jamie said cooly.

Jennifer sighed and shrugged. "Ok."


Much later the two girls found themselves very lost, after having left the little group when they were all snatched up by their parents. They were wandering through an alley, both teary eyed and terrified. Little did they know, Rachel was close.

She came suddenly from behind a house and scooped them up, began to run with them, for some reason looking back when Sheriff Meeker pulled up to the curb, an old man with him. They urged them into the car and the two obeyed, suddenly two different Shape's appeared. Meeker and the man raised their pistols only to have the boys pull off their masks and run.

They got into the car and explained everything. Jennifer looked out the window while they drove away and felt her heart double, the man from hers and Jamie's nightmares stood, watching them...

Where he stood, Michael met the little girl's gaze, and a hollow, angry breath rasped through his mask, he'd been so, so close to capturing them.


Once at Meeker's house Rachel took the girls ro sleep in an upstairs bedroom. It took a while for the two youngsters to fall asleep, so they decided to explain their cult beginnings to Rachel, and why Michael wouldn't kill them, but anyone who got in his way.

"I don't want to go back," Jennifer said softly. "I don't want to be some guinea pig meant to have a baby and die."

Rachel's breathing was thick and slow, her chest heaved with her disgust. "My God! Don't worry girls, I wont let that demon take you back."

"He isn't a demon," Jamie sighed. "He's a human with a lot of support from Thorn and a mission. Demon's just live to cause a commotion."

"Well still don't worry, there's no way he can get in, and if he tries Meeker will kill him."

As she fell asleep, Jennifer shook her head. "You can't kill the bogeyman."


They both woke at the same exact time quite a bit later, terrified to find they were alone up here. They went down the stairs and found a hysterical Rachel, and a few dead bodies. Rachel cried out and took them up the stairs, and Brady shot at Michael as he ascended them, but he was a terrible shot and wasted his bullets. As he reloaded Myers reached him, and the three ran away before they could see what would happen.

Rachel took them to the attic, where they piled some junk on the steps to stall him, them smashed a window and climbed onto the roof, and desperately began to climb. They slipped once, and climbed back up, only to have Michael on their trail. Rachel lowered them down via rope, and after averting Michael's knife, she fell off, and hit the ground, hard.

Jamie and Jennifer cried out and ran to her. "Rachel! Rachel get up, you can't die, don't die get up!" But Michael was too quick, so the youngsters began to run and were caught by Sam Loomis, who helped them into the elementary school. They made their way around a bit but Michael attacked, knocking Loomis into a window. The girls ran and tripped down some stairs but Michael seemed to be everywhere. Suddenly, Rachel appeared with a fire extinguisher, sprayed it, blinding Michael for a bit.

"Come on girls." She said and they made their way out to the hillbillies truck. They helped them get away, but on the highway Michael crawled out from under the truck and killed all the men, leaving Rachel to drive, Michael continually grabbed her blouse as she did, and finally they took a sharp turn and Myers was flung from the vehicle onto the asphalt.

"Come on get up!"

He did and when he did, Rachel slammed on the gas. "Die you son of a bitch!" And she hit him.. He was knocked to the ground, a grassy area and they stopped the car as the Sheriff and some squads came, Loomis included.

Slowly, Jamie and Jennifer approached their uncle, both taking hold of his empty hand, not noticing his armed one flex slightly, they had a feeling he wasn't dead.

"Girls get away from there!" Loomis said sternly, and they turned to come back.

Michael sat up and stood, moved toward them and the police told them to lay down. They did and the officer's and Meeker shot Michael, so he stumbled backwards into a mine.

That night they went home and Mrs. Carruthers began to prepare them a bath. Jamie grabbed the knife from the counter and went into te bathroom, Jennifer following. Masks on their faces, Jamie took the first few stabs, handed the knife to her sister and she took a few more. Leaving her writhing on the floor they emerged, Jennifer with the knife in her hand. Loomis began to go into hysterics, even took his gun out, but Meeker prevented him from shooting them.
