"Trick or Treat!!"
Buzz lightyear, another fairy and a miniature Darth Vader were standing on the porch. With their arms stretched out and bags open. They eagerly awaited to see what tasty edible sugary delight the girl in front of them would drop into each of their bags. Emily reached for a bowl that had an assortment of chocolate bars and caramel popcorn balls on top. She put one of each in each of their bags.
"Cute costumes! Happy Halloween guys." Emily said as she closed the door. And headed back to the living room where the girls were already anticipating the rest of Emily's story.
"Lets see... where was I?" "Ah yes, Chrissie ran toward the living room..."
Chrissie's heart was racing as she got to the living room. Where she screamed again as she looked upon the bloodied massacre that was now her living room. The Fire Marshall's body was on the floor with an axe in his head. His wife and son were lying in pools of blood on the other side of the room. They looked like they tried to make a run for it. Chrissie shaking, walked over to the fireplace and grabbed the fire poker.
The house had gone so quiet, Chrissie could hear the loud pounding of her heart. Her mind was racing, her arms were shaking. She stood there breathing frantically.
"Next Up on our Halloween Marathon, "Zombies down under..." came from upstairs. Chrissie grabbed the poker tight as she walked toward the stairs. Someone had turned a television on. She made her way to the second floor. Heart still beating loud, "Thump-Thump! Thump-Thump!"
She slowly walked into her bedroom. Not even paying attention to what was on the television. She walked over and shut it off. The house was eerily quiet nice again.
"Dingggg Donggg!"
Chrissie jumped and ran for the stairs. She practically flew down the stairs. She didn't know who was at the front door. She didn't care, as long as it was a living person and away from this nightmare that had become her evening. Reaching the door, she gripped the poker tight just in case. Turning the handle she slowly opened the door...
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!" Yelled her husband and daughter and the rest of her guests she had thought were grisly murdered. Chrissie dropped the poker and collapsed.
"Honey, are you ok?" The Mayor asked sitting down holding his wife.
"Honey?"
"You suck! You know that!? You all got me good!" Chrissie said as she opened her eyes.
"I'm going to get you for this!" She exclaimed as she leaned up to kiss her husband.
"Yay!! That was a fantastic story Emily!" Said Abigail as the girls clapped.
"Oooh, can't wait to hear what you come up with next!" Said Brittney as she headed for the snack table.
"Thanks girls! So how about a scary movie now?"
