The next day was Halloween. The night of nightmares, horror, and trick or treating. Something Sophie was looking forward to. She loved it. She loved dressing up, and going around collecting candy.

Today she was going as Harley Quinn this year. She was excited for it. The friends were going to be getting ready with horror movies and snacks. In fact, she was getting her hair-colored pink and blue for the costume. It was semi-permanent, so her parents allowed it.

She giggled at her friends as they chatted and joked around. Sophie was enjoying the fact that her friends were together with her, having fun. She sipped her drink as she listened to their talking.

Her tv was playing Wrong Turn. She liked the series. Not the newest one though. Going through the motions of getting the tips of her blonde hair for her costume tonight, it was a lot of work. It was a harsh smell from the chemicals.

It took a lot for Sophie to sit there for that long with the harsh smell. But she did and was happy with the ending when it was washed, dried, and styled. Sophie smiled brightly. Going back to her bedroom to get ready for Trick or Treating. She had her costume out on her bed, just waiting for her to put it on.

Putting it on, Sophie looked at herself in the mirror and smiled. She was almost Harley Quinn. She loved the idea to cosplay. She loved becoming other people even if it was just for a moment. For a day. She didn't care. She loved it.

She even made her own.

She loved being this way, even if others didn't understand it very well.

Soon, all the friends were ready, and just waiting to get started. They had to wait till a certain time for the Trick or Treating to start.

Pitch looked around him. Halloween was big for him. With the fear and such. It helped him. And now with his Cult, he knew that Sophie was protected. Speaking of which, Pitch hid in the shadows so that he wouldn't be seen by Jack Frost, who was a great friend of his Queen.

Pitch didn't like that they were so close, but for now, there wasn't anything he can do about it. Just had to grow his magic and power, then he can destroy Jack for touching what didn't belong to him.

Looking up from the shadows, his golden eyes spotted the Bennett's door open and out came a group of people come out, and there was His Queen. He felt his lust grow inside him as he looked over her outfit. The short shorts showed her pale legs and thighs to him.

The shirt showed parts of her stomach. and the pigtails and makeup on her face.

She was normally without make up as far as Pitch knew, so it was so strange seeing her in makeup. Strange in a good way. He could do without the fake tattoos on her face and body. He didn't want that on her body.

He wanted to snatch her and pull her into the shadows where no one could get her, see her, touch her. Just him.

She belonged to Him and Him alone. He didn't want to let anyone else have her the way he will have her.

Pitch stayed far in the shadow, using one of the cult members to look through their eyes to follow and watch over Sophie as she goes Trick or Treating with her friends.

She had a male friend that wasn't Jack. But Pitch knew that the male wasn't attracted to females. So, he was ok with him around Sophie like this. The others were females, so he was fine with them with her for now. All of them is for now, until she becomes his fully.

Sophie was all smiles as she went around the town. She even used a New York accent, Pitch assumed that it was part of who she was pretending to be. He had people following her, but not very obviously so that no one, not even Jack, would be suspicious.

Sophie was overly happy with what she had in the pillowcase she was using as a candy bag. She was loaded and she couldn't wait to go back home to trade off things for other things with her friends. She was happy they were having fun as well.

The heels she was wearing were soon becoming a bit much and was thankful to know they were almost home. They were walking back, even making stops to get more candy, when she froze seeing a group out on the front lawn.

It was the people who mainly bully her. They saw her and also froze seeing her. As if something was wrong, they all stood. "Um... Candy?" One called. They put the bowl down and walked away back inside.

That was very confusing to Sophie. She thought they would be wanting to throw things at her, push her around, anything. Instead, they offered the group candy, and then walked away. She could see they weren't watching them, so they weren't planning anything.

What happened to make them like this?

She didn't know but... she liked it.

She got candy from them, and headed off like it was normal.

Not knowing that those bullies were traumatized by the nightmares that Pitch kept giving them cause of them bullying her. So now they were to scared to get close to her. Having to leave so they don't risk anything.

Sophie laid in her bed looking up at the ceiling. Her friends were gone. Having gone back home by now. Thoughts going through her mind. She let out a deep breath and rolled to her side. She felt like eyes were on her. So, she sat up and looked around her.

Her eyes widened seeing golden... spots? It was like eyes. She gasped and turned the side lap on and looked around. She didn't see anything or anyone there. She must be even more tired than she originally thought she was.

Pitch noticed that she saw him in the dark, and when her back was turned, he used the darkness to get under the bed. So, when the lights were turned back off, she wouldn't be able to see his eyes again.

But he was happy though. She saw his eyes. So, it will make things easier for him when he took her as His.
