Halloween special! I just thought a scary story would be fun to write. Hope you like it.

WARNING: Not really too scary, but just to be safe, unlike the rest of the chapters, this chapter is rated T. You have been warned!

I don't own fruits baskets. Now grab a candy bar and enjoy the chapter!


Thump, thump, thump.

My heart was beating so fast in my chest that it actually hurt. I was out of breath, but I pushed myself to keep running. My eyes searched around in the fog for someone, anyone. But there was no one there.

Don't look back. Don't look back.

I peeked over my shoulder. My heart nearly stopped at what I saw. She was crawling on all fours, yet she was able to keep up with me. In fact, she was gaining on me fast. Her dark hair hung over her face, but you could slightly see her deformed face through it.

Keep running. Keep running.

My legs were growing tired and I was beginning to realize it was pointless. No matter what I did, no matter where I went, she would get me. I was beginning to slow down. I squeezed my eyes shut and tried to remember my training.

No! I can do this! I won't be taken this way!

I suddenly felt long, bony fingers circle around my ankle. I fell down to the ground with a thud.

I have to get back up. I have to keep going. No! She's getting too close!

Poof!

I lay on my side as a poor tipped over cattle. I struggled to get up, but to no avail. In my current form, there was no way I could get back up, especially with this demonic creature on top of me.

She brought her face close to mine and I saw her bloodshot eyes and her peeling skin. I felt nauseous from the decaying smell coming from her. She opened her mouth and gruesomely licked her teeth. Then she brought her face to my neck.

It felt like a thousand needles just stabbed my neck. I clenched my teeth and struggled as the pain rushed over me. She slurped up some of my blood and I felt the rest trickle down my body. She yanked at my skin with her teeth and I felt life leaving my body.

I could have gotten away. I could have done something. But I just HAD to transform now of all times. Because of my curse, I would be eaten alive by this monster. I closed my eyes as death fell over me.

My eyes shot open and I sat up. I looked around and saw my bedroom. I picked up Rin's photo from my bed side table and hugged it to my chest as I panted hard, glad it was just a dream.

Click, click, click.

I turned my head towards the sound coming from my window and let out a silent scream at the face I saw there.


Happy Halloween!
