Chapter 4

(Narrator's POV)

Years went past and Elizabeth couldn't handle it. She went along with life's daily routine, and had to handle the fact that Michael was gone, and now Laurie was dead. Elizabeth had custody of Laurie's daughter Jamie, and was raising her as her own.

It was the day of Halloween 10 years from the day of Loomis taking Michael from Elizabeth. She went to work and did what she had to, and stopped on her way home and picked up something for dinner.

When she entered the house she took the food to the kitchen after she hung her keys up on the hook, and took her jacket off and laid it over the back of the chair. She slipped her shoes off and released her hair from the ponytail it was in. She set the plates of food on the kitchen table with sodas, began to eat in relative silence.

When they were done she cleared the table and went upstairs to her bedroom. Opening her door she froze and smiled for the first time that year as she saw Michael lying on her bed.

"Michael!," Elizabeth yelled as Michael stood and jumped into his arms. He hugged her tightly and kissed her deeply as she cried tears of happiness.

The kiss broke a moment later and Elizabeth layed her head on Michael's shoulder as she kept smiling.

"I thought I had lost you, how did you escape from the Ridgemont Federal Sanitarium?,"

"They were transferring me from there to the Smith's Grove Sanitarium, I heard Laurie was dead, so I woke from the coma, killed the ambulance crew and came straight here,"

"Yeah Laurie past away awhile ago and I have custody of your niece Jamie, she is getting ready for halloween," as Elizabeth said that there was a knock at her door.

Elizabeth opened the door and smiled seeing Jamie dressed in her clown. Michael stepped up behind Elizabeth, and Jamie looked at him in surprise.

"Jamie this is your uncle Michael,"

"Its nice to meet you Lizzie has told me so much about you," Michael smiled and noticed how she was dressed.

"Nice to meet you too, and it looks like we have something in common I was dressed as a clown for halloween at your age too," Jamie giigled and smiled before turning to speak to Elizabeth.

"I'll meet you both downstairs," and with that said she turned and skipped down the hall before disappearing downstairs.

As Elizabeth and Michael made their way downstairs her phone started to ring. Looking at the caller id it said Sheriff Ben Meeker. Wondering what he could be calling about Elizabeth answered her phone curiosly.

"Hello Sheriff and to what do I owe this phone call?,"

"Dr Loomis is with me, says your man Michael escaped,"

"Did he I was unaware I have just been getting Jamie ready to go trick or treating,"

"Just be careful Elizabeth if Loomis is right it may not be safe for anyone tonight,"

"Goodbye sheriff thank you for telling me," Elizabeth hung up and started laughing as she leaned up and kissed Michaels lips through the mask. She was happy with Michael, and she was going to do everything she could to make sure Loomis didn't get him this time.
