Hola! This will be a difficult chapter. TVD and Foreseen were easy Halloween chapters. They have kids in them! This one? No clue what to do! But, I said Halloween chapters. Here it is! I'm not too sure what to do. Well, I guess I'll stop talking. Read On!

Damien

"What should we do for Halloween?" Zoey asked. We were in the middle of a council meeting. I could care less about Halloween. I was worried about Phelos. I hadn't gotten a chance to go over there in three days. Also, I didn't want to remember my last Halloween. With Jack.

"A dance?" Stevie Rae asked. I once again wondered if I could tell her. Tell Rephaim, who sat next to her, holding his hand.

"Good idea. Vote? Raise you hand for yes," Zoey responded. I lazily raised my hand. I wanted to get out of there. Everyone raised their hand. Finally. Zoey called the meeting to an end, and I promptly left.

Phelos

"I don't understand. Today is some kind of holiday?" I asked. Damien nodded.

"Yes. Kids dress up in costumes and get candy. The House of Night is having a dance." I nodded. I thought to the woman's voice and my mission.

"What of my brother? How is he faring?" Damien smiled.

"He is happy. He is in love. I'm happy for him."

"You mentioned he was human? How is this possible?"

"When he chose Nyx and Light, the Goddess granted him the form of a raven during the day and that of a human in the night. From sunup to sundown he is all animal." I nodded. I was happy for him as well.

"As for you? How are you?" His face sagged. He was not well at all. He was in a pit of depression.

"I'm fine. I just miss him." I got an idea.

"Jack, you mean? What was he like?" He was hesitant, but his eyes lit and I could tell that he very much wanted to talk about him.

"Jack was… innocent. He was bright, untainted. He was wonderful in the way that so few people are. He loved to smile and to tease people. Seeing him cry was heartbreaking. I couldn't stand it. I would give anything to see him smile. Anything.

"The day he-he d-died I went for a jog with Duchess- Stark and Jack's dog. I was watching him. He was hanging these little origami swords he made for Zoey's coming home party. He-he-he fell onto the sword on the ground." He got angry. "I told him! I told him not to leave it out like that! But he said it would be bad for the sword! But he died! He left me! I told him!" His voice broke. "I told him." My heart broke for him.

"I'm sorry I asked. Forgive me." He was sitting on the floor, crying. He shook his head.

"No, it's alright. I needed to do this," he said. Damien got himself together. "How are you?" He felt my arm. The fracture was healed. In my leg, two of the three breaks were healed. All my ribs were half-healed as was my skull fracture. "Remarkable."

"I'm part immortal. I heal quickly." He nodded. "The last break in my leg will be healed by tomorrow."

"I remember Stevie Rae healed quickly due to the Imprint." I nodded. He turned and left, saying that Zoey was expecting me.

Damien

The dance came and went. I spent the whole thing looking at all the happy couples. I remembered watching a movie with Jack last Halloween. I kissed him. He kissed me. We were happy. Like these people.

Zoey leaned on Stark's shoulder, Stevie Rae on Rephaim's. I watched as Aphrodite grinded on Darius. There were so many other happy couples as well. I watched them, jealous. Why couldn't I have that? Why couldn't he still be here? Why?

"Happy Halloween," I said silently to myself after the party. I went to my room and cried.

Well, a very angst chapter, wouldn't you say? I'm glad. I write entirely too many fluffy stories. Sorry it was so short. But, this was a very good step for Damien to take. Like? Hate? Despise? Love? Tell me! Review! Happy, StevieRae2011, signing off!
