A/N: Well here is the Halloween special. Remember there will probably be no updates during November due to the terrible writing task... Also, the Beta has not done this chapter so it is probably full of my crappy grammar and spelling mistakes
Disclaimer: We no own, you no sue. We do however own the OCs and I will personally feed you to my pet Balrog if you try and use them. You have been warned.
LISTEN UP! THIS IS SET THE HALLOWEEN BEFORE THE TRANSPORTATION!
Halloween Special:
Fin's POV
I was woken up by Adam Lambert singing Master Plan and instantly wished that I had set a quieter song as my ringtone. Patting around on the bedside table next to me I grabbed hold of my phone and brought it up to my ear.
"HAPPY HALLOWEEN!" I groaned as Kelly screamed down the phone. "I hope you are ready for a day filled with fun and excitement!"
"Ya know Kels, have I ever told that you would make a good presenter for a kids TV show?" she laughed down the phone .
"Yes, yes you have." I grinned and grabbed my glasses and watched as the room came into focus. Man I hated my glasses.
"Well see you later."
"Au revoir!" I sighed and dropped the phone onto the bed and got up. Walking over to my wardrobe I pulled out a baggy green T-Shirt and a pair of skinny jeans and pulled the on. Running the brush through my hair I glanced at the clock.
"Oh damn." I threw on my shoes and packed my bag and I had just reached the bottom of the stairs when the doorbell rang. Opening it I was unsurprised to see Seph standing there, two bags slung over her shoulders, one of them for the sleepover and the other one was her 'middle earth emergency' bag which was actually a large denim shoulder bag with 'keep calm and walk to Mordor' written on it. She was wearing a v-neck blue vest top with a pair of beige cargo pants.
"You, mellonin, look like you have been dragged through a bush backwards," she grinned and winked. "You woke up late again didn't you." I rolled my eyes as she continued to laugh.
"Have you got everything?" I turned to see my mum standing behind me, blonde hair pulled back and blue eyes looking tired.
"Morning Auntie Lizzie!" yelled Seph from behind me and my mother smiled fondly.
"Good morning dear. Keep Fin out of trouble for me will you." Seph mock saluted and stood to attention.
"Yes ma'am, pleasure to be of service." My mother chuckled and pecked me on the forehead before shooing me out of the door.
"Have fun!"
"Will do!" I yelled back. Seph's aunt was sitting in the front seat of their ford. I slipped into the back and Seph plonked herself down next to me.
"Hello Aunt Cora!" I said as we pulled out onto the main road.
"Hello Fin. Are you looking forward to trick or treating?" I grinned. We may be getting a bit old for it but every year we dressed up and Kels and Seph worked their magic.
"Yes I am, not that the troublesome two have told me what I am going as this year." Seph giggled beside me and I sighed, Di and I never had any say in our costumes so if we misbehaved we payed sorely.
"Play nice."
We pulled up at a large house with a beautiful rose garden at the front. "Bye Cora!" we both yelled as she drove back towards Seph's house. We skipped up to the front door and knocked. The door immediately swung open to reveal Kels.
"I have an overwhelming feeling that you were standing there, waiting for us to arrive." She nodded and dragged us in.
"Di's gonna be late, she has a doctors appointment." Kels said. "Which leaves us enough time to play LOTR trivia!" We all rushed into the front room. Seph picked the Gandalf figurine and left Kels and I to argue over who got the Aragorn figure.
"I want him!"
"It's my set!"
"I like him more than you!
"GUYS SHUT UP!" Seph yelled, breathing hard. "Kels you had Aragorn last time. It's Fin's go." Kels pouted slightly but handed me the plastic figure nonetheless.
By the time Di arrived we had played four rounds and Seph had won three of them, Kels winning the last one.
"Let me guess, you're playing trivia." said Di as she walked into the room. "Who won?" Seph raised her hand and winked.
"Turns out the Aragorn figure isn't as lucky as we originally thought." Di gave a gentle smile and sat beside me, watching intently as Kels packed away the set.
"What now?" Kels asked. "Not even lunch time."
"Lets go to the park."
We got permission from Kels' parents and we ran off to the park that was at the end of the road. This park was familiar to us, we visited on numerous occasions. We pretended to be elves in the woods, Seph using a wooden bow and arrow set, we played games, ran over the grass and sometimes, like today, we just lay on one of the grassy banks and looked at the sky.
"This is going to be our fifth halloween together." I said as we watched the fluffy white clouds float above us. "It is strange that it's only five years, I feel like I've known you guys my whole life." we all laughed.
"I second that." said Seph.
"Third that."
"I agree with your statement." said Di and we laughed again.
"That one looks like Elrond!" Kels shouted, pointing to a cloud that did indeed resemble Elrond.
"We're gonna be best friends forever aren't we." Kels said, turning her head to smile at me.
"Yeah, all four of us. Best friends forever."

As we sat in Kels' dining room we discussed our route for the evening as we ate our lunch.
"Hi!" We looked down to see Mardi, Kels' little sister standing near us.
"Hello!" I said as I lifted her up and placed her on my lap.
"How are you?"
"Happy!" the little girl squealed. "Scawy monsters gonna come to the door today and ask for candy." "Yes they are!" Seph said, nodding seriously. "And you must give them candy or they will gobble you up instead!" Mardi squealed and covered her face with her hands.
"Yes, yes oh so scary."
"Philip!" Kels chided her brother as he walked through and grabbed an apple "Don't be rude!" he rolled his eyes and winked at Seph who stuck her tongue out at him.
"Have fun with the 'scawy monsters'!" he added before leaving the room again.
"Your brother is exceedingly immature! He acts half of his age!" exclaimed Di and I nodded my agreement before setting Mardi down on the floor.
"Bye Bye Fishy!" squealed Mardi. Yes, she called me fishy, don't ask me why. The little girl then scampered from the room leaving us with our plans.
"Well first we need to decorate the house and then we can get the costumes ready."

I ran around the house throwing black and orange tinsel over various objects while Di was given the job of hanging up the plastic spiders and fake spider webs.
"They do this deliberately, I know it." she muttered as she walked past. I giggled and threw some tinsel over Philip as he walked past and tied a piece around Mardi's waist.
Kels stood outside, setting up the pumpkins and Seph was decorating the front garden with fake skeletons and cobwebs. Kels came in laughing.
"Seph put pools of fake blood on the front path, it looks like there's been a mass murder or something." I chuckled.
"That's our Seph."
000
"I am not wearing this!"I stood in front of the full length mirror, staring at my reflection.
"Calm down and come and sit here." said Seph as she placed me in the chair and began my transformation.
"Eru Di keep still." I heard Kels muttering as she mucked around with Di.
Stepping back, Seph flashed me a grin and turned me around so I was facing the mirror. Staring back at me was a ghost. The dress was snowy white and floated at the bottom, swirling like a mist. She had applied a paint to my skin that made it look slightly translucent and she had pulled my hair up in a tight bun. Blood was splattered at the bottom of the dress.
"WOW!" I yelled.
"Now you wonder why you complained. It's not like I was gonna dress you as Arwen again." Yes, again. She had previously dressed me as Arwen after a massive fight we had, I am proud to say that I learnt my lesson. These costumes were probably really expensive, Kels' family has a lot of money.
Di stood up beside me and I laughed when I saw that she was wearing a full length black dress, cinched at the waist with a gold belt. She had gold eyeshadow and a pointed witch hat sat on her head. A golden spiderweb was painted around her left eye.
"I look like an imbecile."
"No! You look awesome!" screamed Kels. "Come on Seph." The two of them race the 'special' changing room where we can hear them talking and fixing each other's costumes.
"I look terrible!" Di complained as she analysed herself in the mirror.
"At least you aren't a hippy again." That had been hilarious. They had dressed her up in a pair of baggy trousers, some boots, a tie dyed multi coloured shirt with the peace sign necklace. They had then taken it one step further by giving her huge glasses and a red sash to tie around her head.
"I guess." she muttered.
I turned and looked at the wall of Kels' bedroom. The whole wall was covered in pictures of us all. In the centre was a small space and on that space, Seph had carved the words '4ever Friends' and each of us had carved out names around it. I ran my fingers over the small ridges and smiled fondly.
"What do you think?" we turned to see Kels' werewolf costume. She wore a long brown dress with deliberate rips across the abdomen to make it look like she had ripped it with her claws. She had an elaborate hairdo of braids and a pair of wolf ears poked out the top. Seph had used the movie effects kit to create a cute little wolf nose.
"You look amazing!" I gushed as I looked her up and down. A slight cough made me turn. Seph stood in a midnight blue medieval dress with a loose silver belt and silver flowers running up the bodice. Her hair was pulled back into two plaits which were pinned to her head. Her lips were blood red and she had dark eye shadow on. She smiled revealing a very realistic pair of vampire teeth.
"I will drink your blood!"
"I'm dead!" I pointed out.
"I would turn you into a toad." said Di, picking up the wand that was sitting on the counter.
"I'm too cool to be killed!" Kels exclaimed and we all laughed. "Here you are." Kels handed me a white bag for my candy. Di's looked like cauldron, Kels' was made of fake fur and Seph's was a medieval style leather pouch.
"Let's head!"

"That was so fun!" Kels yelled, skipping on ahead of us as we headed back to her house. They continued to talk and I surveyed the street. Other than their talking it was eerily quiet, no cars drove by and no other people were anywhere near. The lights in all of the houses appeared to be off. I hurried slightly to catch up with the others and when we turned onto Kels' road I froze. Across the street was a dark figure, cloaked in black. A deep hissing voice seemed to come from him and I found my head spinning. He, if it was a he, turned towards me and stepped forwards. A terrible cry came from it and I gripped my head as the world became darker.
"Fin? Fin!" I could hear Seph's worried shouts as the darkness closed in.
The dark mist pulled away and I found myself in the centre of a battlefield. Creatures with dark green skin and distorted faces attacked men who wore armour emblazoned with a tree. Looking down at myself I saw that I was clothed in a similar set of garments but they were more elegant. They looked like... like elven hunting clothes.
"Fin!" I turned to see a man... no an elf with hair like gold running towards me. His emerald green eyes were filled with worry. He looked... familiar.
"Finna are you alright?" I looked up at him, the battle raged on around us but I payed it no heed.
"Who are you?" a look of paid flashed across his face.
"It is me, Glorfindel. Do you not recognise me?" am I supposed to?
"No... you are a stranger to me." he clenched his jaw, eyes sad. He muttered something in another language and I watched as one of the green, orc like creatures ran towards him.
"Look out!" he turned and decapitated it. Another one ran in from the side and more kept coming. We were sorely outnumbered. Suddenly one ran at me from behind. And I fell backwards onto the hard ground, whacking my head. Spots appeared in my vision and black appeared around the edges and it slowly began to close over. A blurred image of Glorfindel killing the orc appeared in my line of vision. He knelt down over me, shoulder length hair brushing my face.
"Fin! Fin!" he yelled as the darkness covered my vision.
000
All sound faded out but the sound of my name. His voice seemed to raise in pitch until it was one that I recognised.
"Fin wake up!" my eyes snapped open to reveal Seph bending over me, hair loose from her plaits and brushing over my face.
"You fainted! What happened?" asked Kelly, peering over her shoulder. I rubbed my face and sat up, trying to recall what had just happened. But, as a tried to remember, the images became more distorted and faded until I was left with one image of a handsome man with golden hair.
"To be honest... I don't know."
