31 Nights of Frights
Weirest Sense of Deja Vu

Something about Salem had always given him nightmares. He'd only lived there for three short months, when he was seven, but the nightmares had haunted him for years. It was always the same dream, a beautiful voice calling him away on Halloween night, a witch, and a young girl stopping them. That was all he could remember, and all his parents told him was that the kids in town had thought it was a cool idea to pull a prank on everyone.

But here he was, standing in front of a dilapidated building in old Salem with the weirdest feeling that he'd been here before and that someone had saved his life. On Halloween, nonetheless. He didn't notice the blonde teenager coming to stand beside him.

"About time they did something with this old place. Can't let it stay this way," she muttered to herself. She turned to look up at Carlos. "I've got a lot of memories of this place. I don't mean to freak you out."

"Dani?" Carlos murmured, his eyes locking on hers.

"How did -" Dani Dennison frowned at him, her eyes widening in recognition. "Carlos?"

"Yeah. We were in the same class for two months, before we moved back to California." He stared at her for a beat longer before he murmured, "It was you I was supposed to thank, all those years ago."

"Thank?"

"For saving us from the witches."
