AN: I don't own Twilight and Kuroshitsuji, also some of the quotes that are used in this fanfic are from the anime/manga. They are far to awesome to not include.
I know it has been a while since I posted but i'm currently busy with things. Fortunately I was able to put something for Halloween as a special chapter.
Again I apologize for late post and will update when I can.
I would like to thank 4MeJasper for going over my chapter :D
This is Halloween - Nightmare before Christmas
And so without further ado, I present you ...
Little Pumpkin-Swan meets Mr. Skelly
(Halloween Special)
All Hallows' Eve or Halloween as many called the special day where kids dress up as their favourite character, demon or monster. One after the another they go around knocking on doors of decorated houses carrying buckets or bags of different shape and sizes eager to fill it sugary goodness.
It was past 9:00 when they start to make way back home with one goal in mind, devouring all of the candies they had received. With the amount of treats they carry there is without a doubt that tummy ache will be the next morning's children's version of hangover.

Skipping through the emptying streets was a figure not taller than a 5 year old, if not the same height with a pumpkin as a head, body covered with tattered and ripped brown almost black cloak. She was singing songs celebrating Halloween, on her hand is pumpkin-shaped bucket, half-filled with sweets unlike kids she passed, whose buckets were filled to the brim.
It wasn't long before she had lost sight of her mother. She got sidetracked, talking to friends and catching up on the latest gossip.
Not that it mattered whether her mother is beside her or not. She had long found her mother to be more of a old best friend than a 'mom'. But that didn't matter to the little pumpkin, all that it mattered was that she was never alone despite her biological father living far away.
Jack...Jack...Stingy Jack,
Jack who made a pack
Sent back into the night,
Only a burning coal for a light
She sang, skipping squared pavement stones like hopscotch. She stopped suddenly when a house decorated with coffins came into view. It was unusual and the coffins seemed authentic. Many houses were decorated with bat banners,skeletons and pumpkin lanterns on their lawn. She wondered why the owner's had decided to decorate their place like that. Somehow she found their ….creativity and uniqueness fascinating. Deciding that that house would be the last stop for that night, she looked in both directions before crossing the road.
Looking up she saw a sign hanging just above the door saying 'Undertaker', written in a purple background with a skull in the middle.
What a funny name for a creepy house.
Knocking on the door, she called merrily. "Trick or treat!"
Minutes passed and there was no answer. Finally she shrugged, thinking the owners were away or didn't hear hear. She turned to leave. But before she could took a step away from the creepy-looking house,she heard a door slam. Following the sound she came across a man wearing a robe dark as night. A tall top hat, hiding his eyes and part of a scar along his face, sat on long silver grey hair. A gray scarf strapped across his chest and knotted by the hips and an emerald ring that shone in the moonlight on his left index finger completed his outfit.
On his right was a wrapped bundle and a candle lit lantern on the other. He turned and walked leisurely to his destination.
Have some lukewarm black tea and freshly baked cookies,
and let's slowly and leisurely have a chat.
The price is to give me the greatest laugh.
Curiosity got the better of her and she decided to follow. Little pumpkin watched silently as the man opened the gates to a graveyard, letting out a high screech from rusty hinges.
Under the luminescent full moon illuminating the lifeless graveyard, the silver haired man and little pumpkin ventured further into the graveyard with only the lantern lighting their way.
Still in his own little world, the man unraveled the bundle he carried once he found a spot that placed him right in the middle of the property.
The little pumpkin's eyes widened at the sight in front of her.
The cloth contained bones . Humans bones. On the skeleton's head, is a crown made of thorns and blood red roses.
"What an interesting holiday humans have, right Eliza?" the man cooed at the skull, the remains encased in a loving embrace.
"Now my dear, would you care to dance?" He made a sweeping gesture. "Under the moonlight, surrounded with the dead we shall celebrate All Hallows Eve !"
Letting out creepy giggle they start dancing.
When the sky is dark and the moon is bright,
Goblins dance by firelight
Wolves are howling in the night
Witches flying into sight
This holiday is Halloween
Many ghosts are to be seen
Some things I see make my face turn green
The moon takes on a wicked gleam
This holiday is Halloween
The silver haired man whipped his head to the side when he heard a child's voice, breaking the dance. He stopped and stared. There sitting on top of a gravestone was a pumpkin-headed figure, a brown almost black cloak covering the rest of its body. The little shoes that peeked out from under the cloak barely reached the ground.
"My... My... Who do we have here?" the man asked with a Cheshire cat smile.
"Good evening, Mr. Skelly," the little girl said.
"Mr. Skelly?" he asked, tilting his head to the side making one bright yellow green eye visible.
The little pumpkin noded. "Your skeleton is named Eliza….a female... Therefore you're Mr. Skelly while," she pointed at the remains at his arms, "she's Miss Skelly."
He cackled. "Oh you amuse me little pumpkin."
Said pumpkin huffed and cross her little arms.
"I'm not little pumpkin. Though suppose I may be because of how I look but my name is Bella," she grumbled, jumping off the stone. She made her way to the couple and introduced her self.
"You are not afraid of me?" he asked, shaking the little girls hand. Intriguing little human
The pumpkin shook her head. " Though what you did just now was creepy, it wasn't really that scary."
"Well it is nice to meet you, Bella. But why are you here of all places? Shouldn't you be at home?"
"I was on my way home but got decided to make your home my last stop. When I knocked, no one answered. When I turned to leave, I heard you go out. Curious like a cat, I followed you."
" I see…."
"But it is getting late and you are right...I should be home." She turned and started to walk. "It was nice to meet you,Mr. Skelly."
"Run a long then little Bella, and take care."
She waved back and yelled. "Thank you! Also, Happy Halloween. There are some sweets in a bag nearby for you and Miss Skelly. See you again, Mr. Skelly!"
Skipping her way back she sang.
Jack...Jack...Stingy Jack,
Jack who made a pack
Sent back into the night,
Only a burning coal for a light
"Yes we shall be seeing each other soon." Eerie yellow green eyes glowed in the darkness. "And my name isn't , little pumpkin….it's Undertaker."
