So in their eyes, I was nothing more than a tool to be completely drained of worth. The storm felt as though it were freezing my organs solid, but I summoned the last of my strength, curled my fingers and pushed the car door open again. My stiff limbs gave way the moment I stepped out, and I fell hard into the snow. Hearing the noises from my end, Zachary scoffed, his sneer almost visible in his voice. "No way, are you trying to rupture the heating pipes again? You can't even bear to hurt a mouse, so why are you acting all scary now?

Jo could see a faint red light glowing from inside the space, as if Holland was announcing her presence with her signature color. Jo grabbed the two remaining silver nitrate grenades she had in her utility belt and pulled the pins on each with her teeth before she lobbed them both into the room. If there were other Vampires in the room, they might be taken out by Christian’s invention, but she knew that Holland was too powerful for something like that to hurt her.

Subtle, but I notice everything. Klaus de Luca. He didn’t see me as he entered a room alone. I didn’t hesitate. Silently, smoothly, I followed. The door was just starting to close when— CRASH! A vase flew at my head. I ducked instinctively, the ceramic shattering against the wall behind me. I straightened slowly, blade already drawn. Then I heard his voice. Low. Calculated. “So... you’re the Ghost Knife. The woman with no past. No future. Who sent you ? .”

"You already have the deadpan sarcasm down to an art form." Gavin laughed, taking off his glasses to clean them on his shirt. "Hey, if I'm being forced into participating in this elaborate Halloween production, I'm going all in. I already ordered Thing. You know, the creepy disembodied hand that crawls around. It's animatronic and everything." Lucas groaned from the couch, looking genuinely pained. "You're all taking this way too seriously." "That's because you have no Halloween spirit," Piper teased, pointing an accusing finger at him. "You're like the Scrooge of Halloween."

I turned the light back on. The scream that tore from my lungs wasn't human. The attic was packed. Hundreds of them. Not just my collection, but things that had crawled out from the eaves, from the crawlspaces, all wearing the faces of dolls I had never seen. They were all staring at the light, their pupils shrinking in unison, a sea of black dots vanishing into porcelain voids. They didn't retreat this time. They flinched, but they kept coming. "Don't look," a voice whispered from directly behind my ear. It sounded like Lady Genevieve. "It hurts to look."

From where Trisha and Wilkes were, their hearts pummeled against their ribcage. “With... What?” Derek coughed out, trying to reach his axe but to no avail. “Who. Are. You?” “I ask the questions here!” the ghoul said forcefully with an unhidden tint of animosity. “You are going to help us get your friend, Harold Girard.” Like that, the ghoul twisted his neck tighter and as a reflex action, Derek opened his mouth wider, not daring to breath then unrealistically, Trisha and Wilkes watched the ghoul float into his mouth in mere seconds with its dark, smoky wisps gliding down his throat.

Marcus, the quiet guy from accounting leaned against the door, arms crossed, with a bitter smirk twisting his lips. “McAllen,” he said. “You’ve been looking real happy lately. I see you enjoy your late night with the boss.” My stomach dropped. “What the hell are you talking about?” He stepped closer, I could see the jealousy in his eyes. “ I saw you leaving the private elevator. Looking like a man whose ass has taken some cock. You’re not the first, you know. The Ghost destroys anyone who tries to get close. You’re just the latest toy.” “The Ghost?” I laughed it off, but my voice sounded shaky even to me. “Sounds like some movie legend bullshit.”

Too fucking bizarre to even contemplate, to even have been real. Still, it was funny, how the thin giant’s head didn’t seem nearly as large and monstrous tonight as it had when they were younger. There were other Halloween decorations on display along Brazier Drive, amid these sleeping Houses of the Holy. Richard noticed some window-cling mummies, and a bedsheet ghost in the trees. An autumn-harvest scarecrow with a pair of dullish orange pumpkins (whose fleshy insides must be turning to stringy, seeded mush with the warm September days) sat on the porch stoop next door.

This time, they used the magic carriage rather than moving through the shadows in consideration for what happened at Cent the last time she used the portal made of shadow arts. The moment she arrived at the buzzing capital city of the Nether World, hundreds of Slaughter butterflies were released behind Gukasho and Frankenstein’s back – for espionage and information gathering, though one butterfly was sent to deliver a message. Hunger, on the other hand, stayed inside her shadows. The way Cent felt the occasional deep breaths under her shadow she could guess that her familiar was sleeping again. “My lady, have you brought the list we made last night?” Gukasho’s excited voice snapped Cent from

“Mine dropped off when the squealing started. Good grief, do you think they are afraid of the creature that is making the squealing sound? If so, that must be one freaky creature. Whatever it is, judging from its squealing, I think it’s coming closer to us in the passageway.” A flaming torch appeared at the end of the passage. The tall bearer of the torch led a procession, pulling a heavy wooden sled that made the horrid squealing against the concrete. The torch kept flickering off and on as the procession grew and members of the procession were wearing ancient Egyptian clothing, they moaned as if in a funeral cortege. They stopped several units away from the Asplundhs’ to perform a ritual,
