" You used to love Autumn when you were little running through the leaves collecting pine cones you would later pains silver and gold and cover them in glitter for Christmas and Halloween with all its traditions and the colours the trees turned " Said Lucy's mom as they walked through a small park area in the Autumn sunshine pushing the stroller
" Yeah I remember well wasent keen on going back to school after the long hot summer break I'd rather be playing with my friends as it was still warm and sunny than stuck in a classroom but Halloween was always fun in school with the costume parties and the pumpkin carving contest and all that goes with it and later coming home rushing your tea and homework honestly mom why they gave us homework on Halloween I will never know surly the knew we'd be going trick or treating and didn't want to be stuck at home doing homework " Lucy sighed
" Well with you young lady you'd go trick or treating first then come back and do your homework with a mouth full of candy I was scared incase you'd get your text books all sticky but yeah those days were good fun such a shame you couldn't stay little for ever you were such a cute little thing" Smiled the woman thinking back
" So are you working on Halloween or what this year ..? The woman asked
" Yeah fraud so and so is David but we finish about 6 so we can quickly change into our normal clothes I can get you in for free bring Anikin and we can meet you for the parade and fireworks David wants him to meet Darth Vader but he's too young and he might get scared and the actor playing Vader never breaks character so he acts scary all the time when he's in costume but deep down he's a nice guy they all are really " Lucy said with a laugh
Lucy and her mother walked on a bit only pausing to talk to a friend of her moms who was walking her little dog and then they reached the swings so Lucy lifted Anikin out putting him in a baby swing and smiling as the little boy giggled
" I can't believe this park is still here after all these years I used to bring you here as a little girl and you would later come here with your friends over on that ramp near the trees was where you had that bad accident you came off your bike and went over the handlebars that was such a sore face and all your hands and knees got it too I was told you may ended up scarred for life but luckily you didn't " the woman said
" Yeah I remember that I was about 8 or 9 at the time I wasent paying attention I guess got me a few weeks off school though " Lucy said with a laugh before pausing a bit
" Mom how old was I when you adopted me did you ever meet my birth mom ..? Lucy asked shocking her mom a little as this was a subject she hardly mentioned
" No Hun I never did you were about 5 or 6 months old your birth mom I forgot her name she was an older attractive woman as. You see in her photo she was a teacher that's how your so clever you get your brains from her I guess Also she had a teenage son and couldn't handle a new baby she thought she was going through the menapause not pregnancy but she tried and I was told she did love you but couldn't give you the life you deserve so put you up for adoption and as you said when you tried to find her you learnt she died " The woman said as Lucy sighed
" I'd love to have met her mom I...this man I met a Sam Loomis he seemed to know a lot about me he's a doctor and the son of a Doctor Loomis he said worked on a Halloween murder case that happened years ago he said my Mom was Laurie strode my birth name is Judith " Lucy said
" Yes your birth name is Judith Tate your mom was Keri Tate a former head teacher at a privet posh school. younhad to be rich to get in too but I don't know of any Laurie Strode " The woman said lying truth was she did know about Laurie and Michael but vowed never to say a thing in order to protect the Lucy
" Mom who is Michael Myers I heard he was Laurie's older brother " Lucy said shocking her mom
" Oh er don't you mean Mike Myers the actor who dose all the Austin Powers movies " The woman said
" No not him Loomis said he was a serial killer he killed his sister Judeith when he was 6 or 7 years old and later came back at 21 and killed a lot more people and kept killing and he killed Laurie a few years ago " Lucy said
" No no I don't know him and I have never heard of Michael Myers just Mike Myers the actor and Laurie is not your birth mom your birth mom was Keri Tate she was also an alcaholic another reason she couldn't care for you I think she was so drunk one night she got hit by a car " The woman said lying to protect Lucy from the brutal truth as she didn't want to scare her
" I know why don't we go on the round about Anikin loves that don't you darling " The woman said changing the subject and lifting the little boy out of the swing heading to the round about and leaving Lucy fustraited as she sensed her mom was hiding something
" Mom " Lucy begun but the woman turned round and shushed her " I don't remember any more I'd tell you if I did but I don't sorry I can't help you " Was all she said making Lucy sigh
Lucy sensed that her mom was hiding something by the way she was acting but she knew not to press her as she didn't want to start drama in a public park and their was other people their and her mom had a temper so Lucy just left it and went to sit on a bench wheeling the stroller knowing Anikin would be safe with his grandma
Lucy sat on the bench for a while watching her mom play with Anikin and the two seemed happy and she didn't see a large brown car drive slowly by as if it was stalking her the driver was unseen and the car paused for a few moments before speeding off
" Okay little one time to go home " Said Lucy hearing Anikin say " I'm cold
' He's had good fun and he will sleep tonight fresh air is good for growing children I always said that we can come here another day and if you ever want me to babysit well I'm always here " The woman said putting Anikin back in his stroller
" Aww thanks mom that's great to know maybe tomorrow I'm working all day David was due a day off the following day but being Halloween no chance his next day off is on mine on November 3rd so we're doing something nice and we have to start getting ready for Thanks giving so we will maybe order the turkey your coming also Davids family too so gonna be a full house I guess " Lucy laughed
Well if you think that's bad wait till Christmas when we're all here " the woman said laughing and making Lucy roll her eyes at the thought of a crowded house
Well that's that chappy done more to come
