Chapter 1: Night of Darkness Part 1

Severa opened the door to the preschool, and noticed a circle. She also noticed Patrick and Riley in the circle. "Hey, guys."

Haley looked up from the group and smiled. "Severa! Come here!"

She joined the circle. "So… Riley, Patrick, why are you here?"

The latter chuckled. "Who cares? Shouldn't you be more worried about tonight?"

Riley nodded. "It's Halloween after all."

Severa scoffed. "You're right. What are you guys doing?"

Ben and Colin glared at each other. "I'm going to get more candy than him!"

Haley sighed. "I don't know why they'd do this."

Emily chuckled. "And you, Severa?"

She crossed her arms. "Inigo and I are going trick-or-treating with our friends. Do you guys wanna come with?"

Colin jumped. "I'd love to!"

Riley chuckled. "Doubt the parents would mind."

Patrick nodded. "We're in too."

Severa looked over at Emily, a smile on her face. Emily looked around circle, everyone was looking at her. "U-um…"

Haley ran to her. "Please, Emily!"

She sighed. "I guess it'd be better than staying home…"

Severa combed her hair later that night. "This should be fun…"

"What do you have in mind, fraulein?"

She looked over her shoulder to see Inigo dressed like a vampire. "You do know that's German , right?"

He nodded. "I know."

Severa turned back to her mirror, and continued combing. "How come?"

She felt a hand on her shoulder. "Why are you wearing your fighting clothes?"

Severa was wearing her usual battle outfit. She sighed. "I'm going as a mercenary."

Inigo crossed his arms and frowned. "I-I see… that's a shame."

Severa tightened her grip on the comb and clenched her teeth. "If you're imagining me in some slutty costume, Inigo, I swear to the gods that I'll-"

He cleared his throat. "I assure you that I was not, fraulein."

She put the comb down and went to the door, and picked up a pillow case that was on the couch. "Let's get going."

Inigo followed her and they headed to the lobby where the others were.

Waiting for them was Lucina, dressed as Sakura Shinguji from Sakura wars, wearing a similar kimono and having a similar hairstyle. Laurent was dressed as Professor Oak from Pokémon, a white lab coat, and a Muk plush on his back; he wasn't wearing his glasses. Morgan was dressed as a dark mage, which Yarne didn't like. He on the other hand, was a zombie, his make up exquisite, one would believe he were an actual zombie, if he was acting like one. Gaius was there as well, dressed as a Swordmaster; he claims to have stolen Lon'qu's clothes. Cynthia dressed as Florina from stories, and Gerome as Heath from those same stories. Owain was dressed as a knight, while Kjelle was a myrmidon; they had switched roles. Brady and Noire, like Severa, decided to go as their respective classes. Ben and Colin were dressed as army men, camouflage uniforms and toy guns. Haley on the other hand was dressed as a princess. The older three were dressed casually.

Inigo bowed. "Hello, everyone."

Laurent sweat dropped. "Inigo, are you a… vampire?"

He nodded. "Got a problem?"

Laurent nodded. "Yes, I don't think a vampire will be popular with a small child."

Inigo rolled his eyes. "Whatever."

Gaius crossed his arms. "Hey! Let's hurry up already!"

Yarne chuckled and began walking. "Of course dad would be the one to yell at us for wasting time, not a kid."

The three children ran over to Yarne, they chaperones following. Soon, they were all out in the streets of town. Gaius, and the children, rushed from house to house, Gaius to build up his stash, the boys for their competition, and Haley for the fun of it.

Owain lightly elbowed Severa. "Do the boys always act like that?"

She nodded. "I don't know why, but… actually, nobody knows why."

He chuckled. "Well, that's odd. Anyway, it's not like its abnormal for them to want to best each other."

Haley wandered onto another house, a large group ahead of her. "This is going really good!" She looked in her bag, a large pile of candy inside. "I wonder if I have more than both of you. What do you think, Ben?" She looked to her side, but saw no one. "Ben?" She turned to her other side. "Colin? Emily?" She took a good look around, but no one she was with before was present. "Guys?"

"Thank you!" She looked ahead of her to see the group turn from the house and begin to leave, dragging her along. "W-wait!"

Meanwhile, Gaius also wandered away from the others. "Oi, Gaius!"

He looked over his shoulder to see Inigo and Severa running towards him. "What is it?"

"Why'd you leave?" Severa asked, panting.

Gaius continued on his way. "Ain't it obvious? We were missing someone; the little girl."

Severa let out a small gasp. "What, we lost Haley?!" She held her head and began to shake it. "No, no, no! How did we not notice?!"

Inigo put a hand on her shoulder. "Calm down. We'll find her. Let's-"

Gaius shook his head. "No, there's no need to alert the others. Last resort, contact the authorities."

Inigo took Severa's hand on his, an effort to comfort her; he was glaring at Gaius. "Gaius, the three of us won't be enough. With just us, some-"

Gaius scoffed. "Think positive, boy! She'll be fine! Let's move out! Inigo, look after Severa!"

Gaius ran off, and Inigo nodded. "Let's go."

Severa smiled slightly. "Gaius is right, we'll make it!" The two ran off in the direction opposite Gaius.

I'm not so sure about this. Although, I will continue. Tell me what you think of the first part.
