As we stop laughing at each other covered in cake and ice cream, I peered over at my best friend Fulton. "Happy ten year best friend anniversary,!" we both said at the same time and then started laughing again as we headed out the door. I admired his smile that I never even noticed before, watching his long, dark hair and clothes flow in the chilly fall breeze, I smiled too and sighed. He finally realized I sighed and looked over, "what's wrong girlie?" He asked. I just shook my head as I chattered my teeth and shivered from the new falling snow. Weird, I thought how it started to snow out of nowhere. He gave me a knowing look and took his heavier, hooded, zip- up, jacket off and handed it too me. Then, he just wrapped an arm around me pulling me closer to his side trying to keep me warm. I let him with a better feeling that my fingers were not going to freeze and fall off. With him, I felt safe and warm almost, like a feeling of being home. I looked up at him and saw he was tensely wide eyed staring dead ahead. I realized he was looking at all of the tattered cloaked figures that were starting to swarm and surround us both. I looked from them to him and saw a strange almost evil look on his face. When he saw that I started to feel my face heat up and tears form that were going to freeze to my face. Fulton bared his teeth and let out this awful sound that seemed so unreal. Almost like a warning growl but, as he did that, I was soon standing behind him before I knew it. All of the cloaked figures were dead silent with the exception of a dreadful hiss. "We shall claim what is now rightfully ours lythe; you didn't expect it too be just you now did you? The ancestors will be interested in your sickening little play- thing you have seemed to care for so much now", Said the most gruesome cloaked figure of them all as they soundlessly vanished into the shadows. Afraid, I peered up at him for reassurance but found none, unfortunately. "What is going on? They didn't look or sound like any of the other type Halloween cloaked… things," I asked. He shushed me to be quiet gently and sat me down on a weathered park bench. He whispered to me, "I'm not so sure myself," while looking down at his Dr. Martins digging into the snow, "are you okay? You don't look so hot." He took my face in his hands and felt my forehead, for a cold, with his thumbs. I nodded that I was fine, afraid that if I tried to open my mouth id just completely lose it all together. I was just so confused and utterly worried for my best friend. I didnt understand what I meant to him if those … Things called me his play toy. So I got up the courage to ask him what I meant to him. "Fulton?," I asked trying to pull him from his thoughts. When he slowly looked at me he just stared, waiting for me to go on. "What did those things mean when they said I was your play toy? What were those things? They acted as if they knew you so well." I asked him. After a few moments he answered with a soft, "They know me so well yes, that much is true. But as for the rest I simply cannot answer. It is to keep your future safe." I just looked at him astonished he couldnt even confide in his best friend with his problems. I guess thats what I get for falling I love with my best friend. Its sad you know? When the one you love is right in front of you and doesnt even know you have deep feelings for them. I sighed refusing to let my hurt feelings show through me. But I could only hold up my guard for so long until the walls crumble completely. So I turned away and silently, against my will, cry. He just sighed and turned my head up to face him and started wiping away my tears. He leaned close to me and I just stared right through him not paying any attention to what he was even doing. Of course, this was all because I was sulking in my own misery inwardly. I was too deep in thought that I had not even noticed what he was doing until I felt the soft press of his lips onto my forehead. I closed my eyes and leaned in a little closer as he went to tilt my head back slowly. I felt the soft gentle sweep of his hair caressing my face in the fierce wind. Then, the soft press of his lips on mine, it was strange how his lips were neither cold nor warm. He whispered to me "I'm sorry for the trouble I have caused you. Please believe me when I say we cannot be together as friends or anything else from this point on. It is for your own safety, and someday you eill understand why I am doing this to you. I do not wish it but it must be done. Im so sorry ," and then he leaned away letting the icy air hit me right smack in the face. I sighed and looked down at my hands in my lap letting my hair fall in my face. My tears froze to my hurt looking face again but I kept control and pretended not to notice or care that he ignored me. He seemed to allow me to scoot close to him almost as if expecting my reaction. I wrapped both of my arms around him and sat even closer on the bench. I didn't think or even care about what he'd do when at that moment I leaned in again and pulled him with me. I whispered to him " I am freezing and tired can we just go home now," I did not want to hang around with those… things lurking in the shadows. He just shook his head and flat out said no in an intimidating voice. Coming out of shock, I started noticing just really how cold I actually was. So I sighed and got up to walk home. I held onto my torso trying to keep my body heat inside of me. He just sat there as if uncaring of his only best friend walking away from him when she was in need. So I went home crying the whole way back to my place…
