AN: Okay so the real fun begins here. I hope this isn't too over the top, but I couldn't resist going this far with what Simply Written gave me for an idea.
Summary: Brian and Justin have a day of fun with Molly before taking her trick or treating, where she vanishes in a house.
Title: Halloween Payback
Halloween Night
Vanishing Molly
It had been almost eight when Justin had woken up that morning. There had been the banging noise again, though it had been coming from their door. He'd about freaked out, but Brian had gone over opening it. He hadn't budged until his sister had come running in. He'd sat up fixing to get out when she'd reached him. She'd tackled him backwards; he'd been thankful he'd slept dressed. She'd been happy because she was spending the entire day and night with them. To say he was surprised was an understatement. He had known he was taking her trick or treating, but all day and night was surprising. He'd hugged her groaning slightly when she'd squealed. The weekend before she'd been busy, so he hadn't gotten to see her. Though he had seen her that Wednesday and took her to eat at the diner.
Brian knew that even though he found his sister annoying at times, he loved her. Brian had somehow convinced his mom to let her stay with them for the day and night. He knew she would have thought of something to tell his sperm donor. There would have been no way on earth he would have let this happen. He'd freaked out and thrown a hissy fit once when Molly had accidentally said he'd been at her school play the month before. He might have been tossed out because he wasn't going to hide who he was, but he wasn't about to stop seeing his sister or his mom. He was sure that his parents would get divorced eventually, but he was forgotten by one so he'd do the same back. He only had a mom parent wise and a kick ass sister who he'd never let think he didn't love her.
The fact that Brian had agreed to spend the day with them had made him suspicious at first. The logic was that he had no way to drive her to where she wanted to go. Molly had wanted to go to the carnival that was in the next town. Daphne wasn't feeling great at the moment so she wouldn't be able to take them. His mom had tried giving them some cash, but Brian had refused to take it. He had offered to make pancakes for the four of them. He'd thought his mom would decline, but she'd stayed. She'd eaten spooky shaped pancakes with them, and it had been almost normal for their Halloween tradition. It had felt nice to spend time with his mom and sister. It had been cooler that Brian was there, and no one was complaining about him being there.
After they'd ate his mom had left and once they'd gotten dressed they had left too. The carnival had been a town over and they'd stayed there until two before they started back home. Brian had won Molly a stuffed pumpkin that had a black cat coming out of it. He'd also won a stuffed dog that was dressed like a devil. It had fake horns and a forked tail; it was for Gus. They had done a few rides and the house of mirrors. Before they had been fixing to leave Brian had gone back to the prize booth and won the matching stuffed pumpkin with the cat. He'd handed it over to Justin saying it was because they couldn't get a real one.
The carnival had a corn maze which they had done and eaten plenty of junk food. If Brian had tried turning something down Molly had given him a look saying it was Halloween, her favorite day, he couldn't say no. He was sure that Brian was going to be hitting the gym hard the next few weeks with all that he'd consumed. His sister did have a way of getting someone to say yes. He might have also taught her a few tricks. Watching Brian with Molly had been a preview of a future he hoped for. He didn't care if he was seventeen and Brian said no. He was sure he'd change his mind.
Instead of going to the loft they had gone to Deb and Vic's before trick or treating. Molly had some how put away some mac and cheese that Debbie had made. He'd been full, from the carnival food and Brian refused to eat it. He hadn't been paying attention and at some point Molly had left the living room, or so he thought. When he'd gotten up to go to the bathroom she'd grabbed his leg. It had caused him to shout almost falling over. Brian had grabbed him before he had. He'd been laughing too at the fact she'd gotten him. It wasn't his fault he hadn't seen her get up. She was slick that was for sure. Of course, she'd also gotten Brian by putting a fake spider in his hair. That had been epic, he was sure that Debbie had almost peed herself watching Brian jump and scream.
Brian and he had teamed up getting Molly back. They had gone out the back door when they were fixing to leave. Debbie had been waiting on the porch with her. She'd been in on it too a little. Molly thought they were using the bathroom when they'd really been creeping around the front of the house. Brian had been the one that had reached up pulling her off her feet and Justin had yelled boo causing her to scream out since she'd been looking, the opposite way. She promised she'd get them back for it later.
Trick or Treating had been fun too since Brian had taken them to some of the better areas. They had stopped in at Lindsay and Melanie's first wanting to see Gus dressed up. He had a pumpkin costume which was cute. After that stop they'd gone to different areas that had lots of houses. Molly had said that they both had to go with her to the door. That was another thing that was nice. Brian hadn't turned her down and he'd had fun. Molly had given him a creepy looking mask to put on. She'd also had a stand off with Brian who at first didn't want to put on the mask she'd had in her bag for him. He had started laughing because she'd gotten her way. She'd made Brian put on a devil mask. Brian had promised he'd get him back later when she went home the following day. He'd told him he looked forward to it. He had also taken a picture since his mom had wanted them. Brian had chased him for it back, but he refused to hand it over.

"Can we go to that house?" Molly asked looking at the last house on the street. "It's way cool with all those decorations." She said grabbing Justin's hand.
"I don't know, I don't see anyone else going to it." Justin said. "We should wait on Brian." He added.
"Brian's going to be forever, he had to go find somewhere to pee that no one can see him. He really shouldn't have drank so much water." Molly declared. "What are you chicken? Bock bock bock." She laughed making noises like a chicken.
"I am not chicken. I still say Brian was somehow doing that stuff last night. Nothing creepy besides your little scares happened today." Justin said. "Fine, you want to go then we can go. I still can't believe that tonight's the last night of the month and no one realized I was the one that got them." He grinned putting on his mask.
With the mask on he didn't notice his sister had a huge grin spread across her face. "I remember the look on Brian's face when I jumped out that cabinet. I thought he'd pee his pants. Have you peed?" Molly asked. "This place might scare you." She started laughing.
"I do not need to go; I went half an hour ago. You two wouldn't stop teasing me with the sounds of water." Justin said shaking his head as they walked towards the house. The two of them had kept asking him every so often until he'd finally had to find a bathroom.
The gate creaked when he pushed it open. There were all kinds of things around making noises when they walked by. Carved pumpkins and jack-o-lanterns lined the steps as they went up them. He was starting to feel a little wigged out by the place. The window had skeleton creatures hanging in them. Pumpkin heads with creepy faces on them. There was a grim reaper on the door that started talking when they stepped up to it. 'Knock if you dare, it might be your last.'
"That is freaking cool." Molly said before she reached out going to ring the doorbell.
Before she did the door swung open and a life size version of the grim reaper on the door was standing there. Justin jumped back grabbing Molly pulling her with him almost tripping over his own feet. The person in the costume turned their heads to the side and then started laughing in a creepy voice. He backed up with her until his back was against the porch beams.
"Is something wrong? I thought I'd dress up since you kids are all dressing up. Too much?" The person asked. "Well aren't you good enough to eat." They said to Molly.
"I love the costume, my brother's a little jumpy. I been tricking him today." Molly said moving from Justin's hold. "I'd love some candy please. Oh, trick or treat, can I have some candy please?" She asked with a smile on her face.
"Oh aren't you nice. Of course, you can." The grim reaper said handing over a handful of candy into Molly's pumpkin bucket.
"Thanks. Say, do you think it would be okay if I used your bathroom?" Molly asked. "I need to go and I don't want to squat on the ground and I can't pee standing up like he can." She said biting her lip.
"What, you didn't say you had to go." Justin said. "We can find Brian and go back to one of the stores." He wasn't about to go into somebody's house he didn't know. That was how a person got dead, especially out here.
"Come on, Justin. I gotta go, I can't hold it." Molly said. "You can come in with me. You just have stand outside the bathroom." She gave him a pleading look. "Mom always says it's not good to hold it. I think I gotta go the second too."
Justin groaned looking back the way they came. He wasn't sure at all about this, and he didn't know where in the hell Brian had gone to find a tree at. It was dark as crap out he could have gone behind a bush and peed. The grim reaper pushed their hood back and he saw an older looking woman. She looked friendly with a smile on her face. That was how people got killed though.
"I wouldn't hurt a fly; I have kids of my own and a grandbaby." The woman reaper said.
"Fine but hurry up. We are so not telling mom about this either she'll kill me." Justin said. "You stay where I can see you." He said to the woman because she kind of gave him the creeps even though she seemed nice.
"Of course." The woman said putting her hands up once she set the bowl of candy down. "The bathroom is the second door on the right." She smiled pointing to the hallway.
"Thanks." Molly said taking off in a hurry to the bathroom pushing the door open and then closing it in a hurry.
"Molly, I was going to check the bathroom." Justin said trying to open the door.
"Sorry, must go. It looks fine." Molly said in a rush.
"Well hurry up." Justin said looking back at the woman, but she wasn't standing where she had been. She was almost right beside him and he jumped almost screaming. "What the hell. It's not nice to do that." He said.
"You smell like pumpkin pie. I love pumpkin pie, it's one of my favorite things to eat." The grim reaper woman said licking her lips.
Justin moved back not sure what in the world was the woman's problem. "Um, I am seeing someone." He turned banging on the door. "Hurry up Molly."
"Justin give me a minute." Molly said before she let out a high-pitched scream.
"MOLLY." Justin yelled right as the lights went out. "Fucking hell." Justin said trying the doorknob finding that it was unlocked. It had been locked when he tried it before.
When he got in the bathroom someone else was standing at a second door holding onto Molly. "Thank you for the offering, we can sleep for another year." The person said before laughing as they backed out of the room into another. They were wearing a Michael Meyers mask which was not a good thing at all.
"NO." Justin shouted rushing over towards the other side of the bathroom. When he got there the door had already closed and it was like a false wall because there was no handle on that side. "MOLLY."
"I should have warned you. My son hasn't eaten in a whole year. He has to hide out because they think he murdered two people. She will make a perfect part of our collection." The reaper woman said with an evil laugh before backing away from the bathroom door. "So will you, Justin Taylor. Unless you play win against us."
Justin ran over towards the door he'd come through hoping he could find another way into the room Molly had vanished into. He had to get his sister back and soon. He didn't know what the hell they had stumbled into, but this wasn't good at all. He couldn't panic or he'd never get out of here with her. He wasn't about to explain to his parents that he got her killed. He also was going to get her after he hugged her for needing to pee.
"You can win her back, if you play my game, Justin. Survive this house of terrors and maybe I'll give her back. She's not really my type, but I do need something to eat." A voice said that sounded like it was everywhere. "You have an hour and then she's lost forever." It added before it broke away with an evil laugh that sent a chill down his spine.
