Disclaimer: Well hot damn! I woke up this morning, and I owned The Covenant! Oh… no wait… that was a dream. Never mind. I own nothing.

A/N: Thanks for the spectacular reviews guys! They're the fuel to the fire. I saw 'Once Upon A Time In Mexico' yesterday and, is it just me, but is the always lovely Mr. Depp exceptionally sexy in that movie after his eyes get drilled out? Ha! If anyone knows any good Sands fics, let me know! Another thing, I don't know about anyone else, but I'm a huge wrestling fan. And I just heard about Chris Benoit killing himself and his son and wife Tuesday morning. What the fuck? I can't believe that happened! I feel so bad for his wife and son. Anyway, the song for this story is 'Halloween' by Siouxsie and the Banshees.

Chapter 21: Halloween Part 1

The following Monday, I found a lone Pogue sitting at the lunch table alone. It was early into our lunch period, so no one was around yet. I went and sat next to him. I don't think he's been to school since last Monday when he and Kate broke up.

"Hi… how are you doing?" I asked, knowing he was still beating himself up just by the expression on his face and the bags under his eyes. He really must've loved her. That's the weirdest feeling, realizing someone you've dated loves someone else.

He sighed and put his head on the table. Guess that answers my question. "I can't sleep, I don't want to eat, and I sucked at the meet on Sunday. Kill me, please," he mumbled into the table.

"Pogue," I said in a very serious tone. "Don't say that. There will be other girls. Obviously, she wasn't worth your time," I said, trying to comfort him.

"I know." He sighed, sitting up. "It just fucking hurts."

"Listen… I have this friend Deanna in Salem. I've told you about her before." He shrugged, apparently not really remembering. "Well, she's single… and I think you'd really like her. So… when you're ready… if you're interested, let me know."

"Is she…" he looked around, then flashed black eyes at me.

"Yeah… she has them." He suddenly looked much more interested now that I mention the powers.

"I'll think about it," he said, standing. "Gonna get some food, be right back." He wandered off into the lunch line and I took out a container of sushi from my bag.

"Hey," Reid said, swooping down to give me a kiss on the cheek and sitting beside me, straddling a backwards chair and dropping his lunch plate on the table. It had some gnarly looking lasagna on it.

"Hi. What's up?" I asked as I popped a sushi roll into my mouth.

"Nothing," he said, cutting into his lasagna and eating a huge bite. I rolled my eyes. Men. God forbid you should try to carry a conversation when there's food in front of them.

Pogue returned to the table being followed by Sarah and Caleb. I can't believe how well I'm getting along with all of them. A few minutes later, Tyler and Mel showed up. Pogue looked as though he was still feeling depressed.

"Hey… um, if you guys don't have any plans, Halloween's coming up on Saturday. There's a huge Harvest festival in Salem… you know, if you want to come. My parents will be on a business trip so… I'll have the house to myself. You guys can stay over if you don't feel like driving back here," I said.

"Hell yeah," Reid said with a mouth full of chips and lasagna. I shook my head and laughed slightly.

"We're in," Mel said, speaking for herself and Tyler.

"That sounds fun! I've never been to Salem before," Sarah said excitedly. Caleb nodded.

"Alright, we'll go then. You coming man?" Caleb asked Pogue.

"Uh… I don't know. It's turned into kind of a coupley thing, hasn't it?"

"Dude," Reid sighed.

"Sorry… I just don't want to feel like the-"

"Deanna will be around. You could meet her. You know… even if you aren't interested in dating anyone. Plus, there's this girl Nadia that always has a huge blowout. I went to junior high with her. There will be tons of girls there," I told him.

He shrugged. "Alright I guess." I smiled.

"You all have to dress up though. It's one of Nadia's rules," I told them and we all finished lunch, talking about whatever. Pogue got a little more social towards the end of lunch.

Saturday came quickly and Tyler and I both drove into Salem. Well, technically, Reid drove into Salem instead of me, but he was driving my car.

"So… what's your costume look like?" he asked me. I smiled.

"Doesn't leave much to the imagination. But that's how these parties are. Girl's prance around in practically nothing, guys watch, and everyone gets drunk," I told him, resting my feet against the dashboard as we cruised down the highway listening to Mickey Avalon.

"Sounds like my kind of party," Reid smirked. He glanced over at me a few times, then grabbed my hand, placing it on his crotch. I looked over at him and raised my eyebrows, feeling a familiar hardness through his pants. He just smirked and lifted the armrest up and moving his seat back a few notches. "Wanna help me out a bit baby?"

"I'm not using while you're driving," I warned him.

"That's fine." I leaned over and unzipped Reid's jeans, pulling him out of his boxers and teasing his tip with my tongue. "Uhhh… baby don't tease. Just do it or I might go off the road," he groaned, gripping the steering wheel tighter as I listened and just took him into my mouth as far as I could. Reid blew some air out of his mouth as my head bobbed at his lap. I swirled my tongue and felt the car increase it's speed. "Faster," he willed me huskily. I obeyed, feeling him throbbing in my mouth, ready to explode. And he did just that, swerving the car slightly, but easily regaining control. I sat up and swallowed, wiping my mouth and sitting back in my seat.

Reid panted slightly and sat up more. "Better?" I asked.

"Much," he rplied, smirking at me and using one hand to steer while he zipped up his pants and rebuttoned them.

"There." I pointed to the exit we were getting off. About ten minutes later we were at my house, parking and putting our stuff inside. Like I'd predicted, no one was home. They're always on some kind of business trip. My father pretty much denounced his powers, never finding any reasons to use. They don't like that I've embraced my powers and the ways of Paganism. Doesn't matter though. I have my grandmother still. She has power, only using it a few times since her ascension. She lived in the house next door to mine.

"Damn, nice place," Reid said, slinging his backpack over his shoulder and following me inside. It was a gorgeous house. Old fashioned exterior, well-furnished interior and a view of the water.

"Thanks," I said. Everyone piled into the house.

"Alright, there's one guest room and my parent's room. The couch pulls out into a bed too. And my room," I said, guessing that Pogue would probably take the couch and the other two couples would take either my parents or guest room.

"Yeah, we're sleeping in your room," Reid announced, slinging his arm over my shoulder and winking.

"I'll take the couch," Pogue offered, sounding slightly saddened he had no one to share it with.

"Alright, well I don't want to sleep in your parents room so we're taking the guest room," Mel said, grabbing Tyler's hand and dragging him down the hall to it. She's been to my house a lot so she knows where everything is. She lives in Danvers, which isn't far from my place.

"Don't listen to her, my parents are barely ever in their bed."

"Guess we're in there then, unless you want me to stay out here with Pogue, Sarah," Caleb offered politely.

"No you can stay with me," she said, a small smile and blush creeping onto her face. I raised my eyebrows. Was she holding out on Caleb or something?

"Someone's getting laid," Reid whispered obnoxiously to Caleb, nudging him in the ribs. Reid is not very good at whispering. I turned around and walked down the hallway, hearing an 'ouch' coming from Reid as either Caleb, Sarah or Pogue whacked him.

"The room's here," I said, pointing to a door to my left as I passed it and walked to the door at the end of the hall into my room. Reid followed and looked around.

"Well, once again, I'm surprised the walls aren't black."

"Oh shut up Reid," I said, dropping some things o the floor and going over to my phone. I dialed Dee's number and waited while the phone rang. Reid wrapped his arms around me from behind and kissed at my neck. "Hey, Dee? You working today?"

"Nope, our granny's are running the shop." I swatted at Reid.

"Awesome, well wanna come over. I'm here with some friends. All the Sons and Mel and one of their girlfriends Sarah." He came right back and began slowly maneuvering his hands up my shirt.

"Oh yeah? Sounds cool. Be there in a flash," she said and hung up.

I hung m phone up and turned to Reid. "Don't," I said, pushing him away.

"Why?" he asked, obviously not liking the rejection.

"Cause…" I'm just not in the mood right this second. "How can you be horny already? I just… you know…" I said remembering what I'd done In the car.

"I'm in a room alone with a girl. Sue me," he grumbled, making himself at home on my bed. I shook my head and grabbed Elizabeth Proctor's Book of Shadows. Caleb had given it back to me before we left. I went into my closet and put it on the top shelf, shutting the door as I stepped away from the closet.

"You mad?" I asked, wondering why Reid was so quiet.

"No… but can't we just fool around a little bit before-"

"Hello?" I heard Dee's voice ringing out as she let herself in as always and closed the door behind her.

"Never mind," Reid finished, standing up and following me out into the living room.

"Hey!" I said excitedly and hugged her. Dee and I are used to seeing each other on a daily basis. She's like my sister, so being at school is weird because I don't see her as often as I usually do. Sarah, Caleb and Pogue all sat in the living room talking. "Mel!" I called to my absent friend.

She emerged with Tyler and came over to Dee and I, joining our hugging party. Mel has known Dee since I started at Spenser and brought her to Salem with me over Halloween freshman year.

"Now kiss," Reid smirked, toying with his bottom lip and leaning against a wall. The three of us threw glares Reid's way, being accompanied by Sarah In doing so. "Down girls," he surrendered, raising his hands by his head. I introduced Dee to everyone.

"Festival starts at five," Dee pointed out. I looked at the clock and realized it was nearly five and that we should head to the park. We walked since it wasn't very far. Luckily, we were blessed with a warm Hallow's Eve this year. I got chills as we entered the park, which quickly filled with people. Halloween is my favorite time of the year!

A/N: Sorry this chapter was dull. I don't really like it. It's mostly a filler. Filler's always take me longer to write. Anyway, I wrote most of the first chapter of the sequal. The story is going to be called 'I Must Be Dreaming'. Anyway, if you want a semi-spoiler, you can listen to the song 'Hyperballad' by Bjork. I don't know how much of a spoiler it was prove to be, but the first chapter was inspired by that song. There's probably only going to be about ten more chapters of this story before I whip out the sequal.
