"Trick or treat!" three kids called out, with their bags out too. One was dressed as Darth vader, the other two disney princess'.

Emma leaned on the front door, gazing over their costumes, "Awww." she gushed, handing them her candy bowl as her parents in the background, ran around the entrance of their house.

"Alright Em!" Snake said, opening the door, "We're leaving."

"Wait," Spike said, out of breath and dressed up as Madonna in the 80's. "We're forgetting something."

Emma turned from the kids at the door, and shut it behind her. "Jack?" she raised an eyebrow.

Spike gasped, and Snake nodded frantically, snapping his fingers. Spike ran past him, and up the stairs to go get him.

Emma giggled, and walked into her family room where Sean was watching a movie. He leaned back so comfortably, his sweater thrown off now and shoes kicked off. He had the popcorn bowl on his hard tummy and was eating slowly out of it, his eyes glued to the tv.

"Really?" Emma teased playfully, curling up with next to him and he blinked out of it, automatically sharing his bowl to her. If that wasn't love, Emma didn't know what was! "Bride of chucky?"

"Dolls freak me out." Sean admitted, watching Chucky and Tiffany on the screen brutally murder some people.

"Suddenly I agree with Darcy." Emma mumbled, thinking you didn't need to see gore to have fun on Halloween. She snuggled closer to Sean, who only liked that more, swinging his arm over her.

"Ok you two!" Spike said, now carrying Jack down who was dressed as a pumpkin. She didn't even look over as she tossed over her shoulder, "Be good!"

Snake though, he looked before he walked out the door, and he pointed."Ah-ah-ah." he sang, narrowing his eyes at the 'cuddling' on the couch. Sean locked eyes with him, a little bewildered like, and slowly removed his arm off Emma who blushed madly and sat up, sitting an inch or two away from him now.

Snake chuckled, and nodded before shutting the door behind him. Both Emma and Sean turned their heads to see the lights of their car disappear when they excited the driveway. When they heard the engine take off, Sean turned his head to Emma, just as she almost practically jumped on him, and the two smiled against the kiss, heavily making out.

Emma giggled, being pulled down easily onto his lap and put her hands on his strong shoulders for leverage. They kissed tenderly, until his hands slipped through her hair and pulled the back of her neck in to kiss her deeper. His mouth pushed hers open, and automatically, her tongue flicked against his on reflex, Emma moaned, and her eyes opened for a mere second, wondering where that came from, but she couldn't help but notice she liked it. She closed her eyes again, bit her lip, and pulled away after giving him one more slow longing kiss and they both panted. He looked blown away too and a little... well, now bothered.

"Wow." he said. She blushed harder. He opened his eyes and raised his eyebrows, "You.." he drifted off, a little wordless still. His heart pounded with hers, and she had never kissed him like that before.

Emma laughed a little, not sure if it was good to him too or not. She tucked her hair behind her ears, still sitting on his lap, and looked around awkwardly. He cleared his throat and sat up a bit more, his hands on her hips, "Em.. maybe- you should get off."

Emma looked back at him, a little shocked, "oh, uh.. okay." she nodded, "Am I hurting you?"

He wanted to laugh, and cringed at the thought of telling her what was REALLY the problem. Emma was a feather on top of him. The fact was, she was on top of him, moaning.

"It's not..that." he drifted, and shifted, as she still hadn't climbed off yet. She was just about to when he said that, and looked confused, until he glanced down nervously and then away from her, avoiding her eyes and clenching his jaw.

Emma looked down, and simply noted, "Oh." out loud.

"Well," he raised his voice to explain, but got rather stumped on how to explain as she climbed off quickly but instead of getting scared, she laughed. That was different from her. The last time she felt something 'poke' her, she yelped. This was improvement. "You don't help when you-"

"When I what?" Emma loved the fact she could make big bad Sean Cameron all flustered, and he had grabbed the couch pillow to put it on his lap quickly as he snapped at her again.

"Do what you do!"

"What do I do?" EMma asked innocently, and he looked over madly to do another take. She was smiling, so adorably, and not being weird about this. Just playful. Maybe this was the 'in' to talk about it.

"Em.." he softened, eyes still locked on hers as she sat facing him and him leaned back on the couch. Her smile slowly faded, noticing him go serious. "Are we? Ever?" he gave her a look like 'you know what I mean'.

She did know what he was talking about, and she avoided his eyes now. "Some day." she nodded.

He raised an eyebrow impressed, and then a slow grin began to spread, "Really?"

She glanced up, and chuckled a little, "Soon." she promised, "Just not..now." she gave him a 'sorry' look, which he chuckled at door, standing up and tossing the pillow to the couch.

"I'm gonna.. " ice cold shower sounded good right now.

"Yea." she squeeked a bit, knowing what he had to go do. And off he went as the doorbell rang and she smiled shaking her head. What else could POSSIBLY happen tonight?

She went to the door, grabbing the bowl of candy, and whipped the door open.

"Trick or treat, bitch!" Manny held her arms out, one holding vodka, the other her leather purse. Lets not forget, she was wearing a sexy leather black suit and cat ears with smokey make up on.

Emma laughed out loud, "Manny!"

"Em! Get your costume on!" she barged in, since Emma's home was like her second home. She turned once she was inside and Emma shut the door behind her, "Why aren't you dressed as my angel?"

"I will." Emma promised, "Just right after we go to that stupid Sanderson sisters house." her costume consisted of heels, and she did not want to run screaming from the haunted house with HEELS on. So, she was sticking to her tight fitted blue jeans, with a white tank top on. Of course, when she went out, she'd grab her jean jacket.

"We're really going?" Manny asked, and Emma nodded, for the blonde to then tilt her head at the vodka bottle. Manny caught her eye and raised an eyebrow, "Em, do-do you want to drink?" she had to ask slowly, a small smirk teasing her friend at the corner of her mouth.

Emma groaned, but nodded, as she glanced where Sean left. This 'sex' issue was really pressuring her. She was so in control of everything but she couldn't be in control of changes and that bugged her. Sex was really a thing she was considering now and maybe a drink would help get her mind off that.

((**))

An hour had gone by and Emma Nelson is drunk, no not drunk, tipsy. She's tipsy and having the time of her life. Even with Jay Hogart in her house hold. HeY! How'd he get here?!. ..oh-wait-right, Sean let him in just 20 minutes ago.

"Look at you, Gp. Cuttin' loose." taunted Jay, sitting on the couch with Sean on the other end. The girls were on the ground, Manny pouring her vodka into the two shots laid in front of them on the floor before she passed some to Jay and Sean. "Thanks Dimps."

Manny rolled her eyes to the nickname, then took her shot when a small smile crept out. Dimples. It was SORT of cute. He was sort of cute - WAIT WHAT?!

"I think I've had enough after this one." Emma informed, wrinkling her nose and tilted her head back to finally take the shot.

The doorbell rang, and Sean got up first, "I'll get this one." he insists, jogging to the door and grabbing the candy bowl. He opened the door for what he thought was kids. "Oh," his shoulders dropped, and he turned to set the bowl down, "It's just Darcy and her sister." he came back to the couch.

Darcy walked miserably into the house, now in a nun costume, Jay couldn't help but laugh out loud hard, Emma and Manny even had to try hard not to smile as they shared a look (It'd only encourage Jay). Darcy sent him a fiesty glare, and then turned to Manny, "I couldn't get rid of the runt."

Claire stood there, in her little witch costume. "Darcy it's not my fault Mom and Dad wanted to go to that party with the rest of the parents. They just forgot to leave the door unlocked."

"We can't go to the party with her." Manny said with a bit of fear in her voice, staring at the 12 year old who looked back at her a little insulted.

"It's fine," Darcy insists, "We'll go to the Sanderson house, then stop by the party our parents are at, grab my house key, drop her off, then go!" she sounded excited, happy she thought of a way to get rid of Claire.

"Fine." Jay said, rolling his eyes since he was the driver. He got up, and they all stood too to go leave for the fun trip they were about to have! He paused by Claire to taunt her under his breath, "We need a virgin sacrifice anyways."

Emma opened the door for them all to leave, for Manny to wack Jay as she walked by.

"What?!" he laughed innocently, following her out.

Claire stood still, wide eyed.

.(((*))))

"We can't go in there, Darcy! I'll tell Mom and Dad!" the girls had to all squish in the back, and the two guys were up front in Jay's car.

Darcy snapped back at her sister, "If you tell Mom, I'll tell her about you watching Alfred Hitchcock movies tonight-"

"But those are classics!"

"They are." admitted Sean up front, nodding in agreement and turned his head when he heard nothing but silence but felt eyes on him. The girls were all giving him a shocked look. "What?" he innocently hissed, turning back to the front.

Emma laughed a little and then turned her head to Claire, "Don't worry, Claire, It's just a stupid Urban Legend."

Claire swallowed, but at least shut up. She at least respected Emma enough to do that. "Fine." she mumbled.

(((*))

"—Stop acting like a baby," this time, it was Jay saying it to Manny, trying to drag the little she-devil (no pun intended for her costume) from the car. She was a hot little thing, but she was also strong! She struggled hard, but he was stronger. Manny groaned but let go of the car, letting him drag her to the haunted Sanderson house.

"We're all gonna die," Manny says, tightening her own grip now on Jay, her arms wrapping around his one.

He smirked a bit, not minding it.

"We're all gonna die out here and they're gonna find our mutilated bodies weeks later, rotting and covered in maggots and my Dad is never going to forgive you, ever!" she pointed at Sean like it was his fault.

"Why me?" he asked, turning his head questionably at Emma.

Emma tightened her little jean jacket around her tank top. She should of brought a scarf. "It was your idea." she said, raising a perfectly shaped eyebrow at him.

He smirked, "Oh, right."

"Lets go already." Jay huffed, over the waiting. He wanted to go see! Call him a believer, but there was always something so entertaining about the Sanderson sisters.

Him and Manny took off first, then Sean and Emma. Claire and Darcy held onto another, eyes wide, looking around the dark forest pathway they were in to get to the haunted house.

"Hey you guys, wait up!" they ran after them.

(((*)))

"Is that it?" Emma questions, taking a few steps forward to get a clearer view since her and Sean walked up front.

Behind them, Jay and Manny were laughing, making fun of the couple in front of them without their knowledge (Jay was actually funny! Or maybe she was drunk?). Her laughter came to a halt as she lets go of Jay, walking between Emma and Sean to get a better look at Emma's pointing. She gulps loudly. Despite knowing the Legend, Manny's never actually seen the small witches cottage before, nor has she ever considered coming to look for it. In fact, she's never stepped foot within the gates that surrounded the forest.

"Yeah, that's the place." Jay replies.

Emma accepts the hand that Sean offers before they set forward, not letting go one bit.

"You guys are real pansy's, you know that right?" Jay rolls his eyes at the girls, Darcy, Claire and Manny, struggling to take a step forward and he grabbed Manny's hand again. Manny grabbed Darcys, who grabbed her sisters.

~Inside~

Emma isn't exactly sure what she was expecting to see really, maybe something just a tad more eerie and stage worthy? A huge rusty cauldron half-full of the hardened remains of the last potion the witches were brewing, bats hanging from the ceiling, cobwebs, hundreds of half-melted candles, the untraceable meows of a black cat, shelves of jars containing pickled human organs and maybe even the odd bone on the floor.

The reality is entirely different.

There's a cauldron laying on its side in front of the fire, but it isn't filled with left over potion – in fact, apart from the dust it's pretty much spotless. There's plenty of cobwebs, but apart from that there isn't much else that screams 'witches lived here'. There's no real furniture in the room, just broken bits of wood all over the place and a few large crates, all of which are covered in a thick layer of dust and cobwebs. A creepy doll though, laid next to a chair that had rope lying on it. That reminded her of the legend, how the sisters stole young children, lured them here, and took their souls to be younger. Must be where the doll came from. IF, real, ofcourse. Emma shudders.

"You okay, Em?" Manny asks, chewing down on her bottom lip and glancing sideways at her friend.

"Spiders." Emma swallows thickly before nodding and smiling as brightly as possible. "I'm good though as long as none of them land on me." She glances around, ensuring there's no cobwebs or large spiders anywhere near her.

Jay sighs loudly and walks further into the cottage, Manny still clinging to his hand and scanning the area as if someone's about to jump out at any second. Emma peaks at them, and is fairly certain that her friends fear of ghosts isn't the only reason she's refusing to let go of Jay's hand. Unfortunetly, Emma can't help but notice how much nicer Jay and happier Jay looked around Manny, and how Manny was beaming every time he made her laugh. She hadn't laughed even that hard with Craig Mannings. The two kinda looked..cute.

Meanwhile, Sean looked entirely amused. He walked around, in awe. The cottage itself is just one large room with an upper floor which hugs the outer edges. There's a cabinet near him, containing some large jars and there's shards of glass on the floor from a broken window too.

"Well," Claire says, standing nervously beside the door and twiddling her fingers together. "This has been really nice and everything but there's nothing here, so can we go now?"

"Claire," Darcy says, moving cautiously towards the large broken window at the far end of the cottage. "We've just got here."

Emma was being so cautious of webs, she turned around slowly while looking out for them, to bump into Sean and jumped.

"Easy," he chuckles. She corners her eyes at him, and he knows she is silently telling him this is his fault; but what's his fault? And awesome cool adventure?! He laughs as she tries to walk away from him, but he grabs her hand and then leads her to a cool thing he found. "Look."

Emma did. And her breath caught in her throat.

"What? It's just a funny looking candle." shrugged Darcy from behind them as she peaked over when he had said something.

The room falls silent and now everyones staring at the candle.

"It's real." Manny said, staring at Emma wide-eyed as she picked it up to examine it. Even Sean licked his dry lips nervously as Emma scanned it.

"Um guys…I'm kinda freaked out now." Emma states, suddenly feeling uneasy. She looked to Sean who looked at her also, then slowly back down to the candle in her hands.

"Well come on, virgin,." taunted Jay, coming over slowly, grabbing something out of his pocket and then the liter was lit in front of Emma, "light the candle."

Emma glared at Jay, but even Sean glared harder at him from behind. "Put that fucking thing down." he snapped.

"I thought you wanted to see?" Jay asked innocently.

"Jay please, put it down." Manny begged, behind with Darcy and Claire, all scared now. Jay glanced back, and actually looked like he was going to back off for a second.

"That's it, I'm out of here." Claire snaps quickly, making a break for the door, only to be stopped by Darcy

"It's just a candle, it's not the—"

"—No, I don't care. That's just too much of a coincidence." Claire shakes her head lightly, her eyes focused on the candle in Emma's hand as if it's about to suddenly transform into a monster or explode. "My teacher said that Winifred was obsessed with wanting to stay young and beautiful forever. She and her sisters had just managed to make the potion that would give them immortality when the townsfolk were alerted. Once the Sandersons were arrested and dragged out of the house the constable found the drained and decimated corpse of Emily Binx right there in the chair in the middle of the room. They never found the body of her brother, Thackery. If you light that candle?" she said to Emma, "we're next."

Even if just 12 years old, the girl scared Emma out of it. She backed up quick away from Jay, almost dropping the candle. Jay caught it and he couldn't help but slowly look up at them all and they stared back, afraid.

"It won't work if you do it." Emma taunted him, knowing the evil look in Jay's eyes as he smirked but chuckled kind of strangely.

"I know." he licked his lips though, and his eyes locked on the candle as he set it a table. "Still though, I'm curious.." he drifted mysteriously.

Emma tensed up, and Sean whispered in her ear, "It won't work at all, it's just a bunch of hocus pocus." he promised.

Emma though, her stomach twisted and turned, not so sure about that. Jay lit his liter again, and her heart pounded. "Jay don't!"

He whispered with entertainment, the flames from the liter shadowing his face as if he was telling a scary story, "Legend says that when lit on a full moon the Black Flame candle will raise the spirits of the dead when lit by a virgin on Halloween night." he brought the liter closer to the candle.

Manny whispered to a shaking Claire, "Don't worry, he's not a virgin." she said with a snicker, rolling her eyes.

"So let's meet the old broads," he suggested with a cheshire Jay Hogart grin until he cried out when something landed on him and they all screamed. He felt claws, and he threw himself down on the ground, and looked up with wide eyes until he saw it was just a ... "STUPID CAT!" he snapped madly, getting up as Emma and even Manny and the rest of the girls began to laugh out loud.

The black cat, which came out of nowhere, hissed at him. Jay crawled up, dusted himself off, and glared once more at it.

"Okay Jay, you've had your fun. It's time to go." Emma said, now pulling Seans arm toward the door.

Sean rolled his eyes as all the girls were ready to run right out. "Oh come on," he went to Jay, grabbing the liter from him. He had enough of this! "It's not real!"

snick

Sean flicked the wheels of the lighter, and said one more time, "It's just a bunch of Hocus Pocus."
