This Halloween is a sham I close the door and went over to Haley. She has been sitting alone after the Sheriff and his wife came “Happy Halloween baby” I said trying to fake a smile “I would like to be alone, Mason” “Yea, I understand but we need to do this” “So what Mason?” she turned and her eyes are red, she’s been crying “Send your father back before it’s too late” “Before what is too late, what are you not telling me” I sigh “The night I went out to buy decorations I met Abaddon.

He then began to tell a story that Hana thought absolutely doesn't make sense. *** "Don't come out at sunset if you don't want to be kidnapped by a witch." Long ago, when her grandfather was still alive, he used to scare Hana with that sentence every time Hana come home late because she was too busy playing.
