When Otaku's body was trailed by the soldiers to the burial ground situated in the outskirts of the city, all the citizens of Hamster began to celebrate the occasion like a festival.

Anxious as they were, they tried their best to maintain their composure just to leave a good impression on my foster siblings. Raymond and Donald exchanged a glance and sneered with disdain. In their minds, I was just an orphan. Where would I suddenly get parents from? Raymond waved his hand in disgust to chase them away. "Get lost, you scammers. Can't even give it a rest on Halloween! Don't delay us. “We are going out to buy our sister a gift and celebrating the holiday!" Just as they were about to slam the door, a large hand grabbed the door panel, holding it open with an astonishing amount of force.

If you know anything, or anyone who does, send word. We are desperate. — Harl, Healer of Brackenfold My stomach turns. I can almost smell the rot in the words—see the terror in every careful, blood-smeared line. I press the letter to my thigh, close my eyes.

Elian dashed around, bucket in hand, shouting, “Trick or treat!” at every shadow. Aira and Aran toddled after him in their little outfits, hands sticky from the candy I swore I’d ration. Alex came up beside me, handing me a mug of hot chocolate. “Happy Halloween, baby.” I smiled, taking a sip. “Happy chaos, you mean.”

she bowed her head and offered Electra a carved turnip. “Thank you,” Electra said, accepting the gift. The woman bowed slightly and then scurried away. “Turnip carving predates the pumpkin. The pumpkin is more of an American thing.” “I did not know that. I just thought we did turnips because we were werewolves,” he admitted as a woman gave them each a soul cake. “Just another part of our pagan heritage.” “Wiccan,” Electra said softly. “Halloween is based on the Wiccan holiday Samhain.

Cassiel laughed as he took in my confused spell on my face. “Turn it around, please.” I turned it around and found that there were perfect, hand-written instructions and scribblings pertaining to an address with clear, articulate directions. It was like he wouldn’t want me to get lost ever when I was searching for him or his house. “Wow, these are so specific.”

No sooner did he finish than he was called away over the radio. Max and I held hands looking across the pond. It all started here, back in the sixteen hundred's, the hangings and the dunking, and here it would end. It was as if God's fingerprint was revealed, confirming that it was finished. "Did you ever open that letter, by the way?" she asked. I gave her the witches bottle and took the envelope from my back pocket. I removed my glove and ripped through the seal. The letter was penned in red ink. "Hozier," was the title at the top of the page. I started to read.

I sat on the gymnasium floor with Gi as we babbled endlessly about the outfits we were wearing to the dance and what others were wearing. "I have it on good authority that both Jess and Lauren will be wearing Angel costumes tonight." Gi said humorously as she expanded the white paper lanterns that I was splashing "blood" onto and leaving handprints of "blood" on. (Which was really just dark red paint that would look lighter once we lit it up.) The white paper banner I had laid out across the floor to catch the spray of paint and save the lacquered wood from an unfortunate fate would be hung up behind the DJ's booth and have the words "Halloween: Night of Fright" painted in blacklight activat

asks Leonard to me, and Hala walking on the other side of him looks curious for my answer. "I don't know if I have anything that I can wear," I say honestly, "I mean, I almost forgot about Halloween because of just coming to such a new school and being introduced to magic and all." "Yeah, I can understand that," says Hala, "I just found out a bit ago too." "I don't really have any costumes either," says Leonard.
