The Fallen Valkyrie

The Halloween party.

Layla skillfully navigated her car through the bustling crowd at the Community Ground of Lakefall, her eyes wide with excitement as she took in the vibrant energy that filled the town. People from all walks of life had gathered for the highly anticipated Halloween party, their costumes transforming the streets into a kaleidoscope of colors and creativity. The air was electric with anticipation, and the thumping beats of music reverberated through the atmosphere, enticing everyone to join in the festivities.

"Wow, I never expected Lakefall to be this populated," Layla remarked, a mix of surprise and enthusiasm evident in her voice.

Bianca, sitting in the passenger seat, couldn't help but chuckle at her sister's observation. Her eyes scanned the multitude of visitors, taking in the sea of costumes. "Well, we have our fair share of visitors tonight. Everyone wants to experience Lakefall's legendary Halloween party," she replied with a hint of sarcasm.

Layla playfully retorted, "Alright, zip it up, smarty." She focused her attention on finding a parking spot amidst the sea of vehicles, her eyes scanning the area eagerly.

Finally, Layla's keen eyes spotted an open space, and she skillfully parked her car into position, securing the precious parking spot before anyone else could claim it. The two sisters stepped out of the car, their senses immediately overwhelmed by the vivid colors and the energetic atmosphere surrounding them.

The Halloween lights illuminated the surroundings, casting an otherworldly glow over the crowd. Layla's excitement was palpable as she bobbed her head to the infectious beats of the music. "I can't wait to find a hot dude and dance with him," she confessed, a mischievous glint in her eyes.

Bianca rolled her eyes playfully, her vibrant wings brushing against her cheek. "Suit yourself," she replied sarcastically, the plumage of her Valkyrie costume drawing curious glances from passersby.

"Well, if you find your cute guy, will you bother with me, huh?" Layla teased, feigning innocence.

Bianca smirked, adjusting the position of her wings. "Oh, of course. I'll make sure to leave you behind while I'm off having the time of my life," she retorted, her eyes sparkling with amusement.

The sisters made their way through the parking ground, following the lively Halloween parade that led to the expansive open space where the party was in full swing. Layla couldn't contain her excitement and skipped ahead, already absorbed in the electrifying party atmosphere. She leaned towards the open window of Bianca's side, urging her to hurry.

"What are you waiting for? Get out already!" Layla called out, her impatience evident.

Bianca sighed, a hint of exasperation in her voice. "Why are you so hasty? Slow down, will you?" she pleaded, carefully stepping out of the car, conscious of her artificial feathers and the intricacies of her costume.

As they navigated through the crowd, the sisters found themselves immersed in a sea of revelers. Laughter, screams, and hoots filled the air, intermingling with the vibrant chatter of excited partygoers. Girls giggled while boys ogled at the creative and eye-catching costumes that adorned the attendees.

"Okay, fine," Layla conceded, taking a moment to observe Bianca's Valkyrie attire. "You do look pretty cool with those wings," she admitted.

Bianca beamed with pride, her eyes gleaming brighter. "Exactly! I'm the real deal because I have crimson wings," she explained, wagging her wings to emphasize her point.

Layla furrowed her brow, struggling to grasp the significance. "So what? My dear, nobody really cares," she stated dismissively, eager to immerse herself in the party atmosphere. "Now, please, let's go. You look perfect," she added, already walking away before Bianca could respond.

Left momentarily speechless, Bianca watched as Layla disappeared into the crowd, her voice lost in the chaos. She took a deep breath, adjusting her wings with a sense of quiet determination. Tonight, she would embrace her Valkyrie persona and revel in the magic of the Halloween party, confident that her crimson wings would make her stand out in the sea of revelers. With a smile on her face, she followed in Layla's footsteps, eager to create unforgettable memories on this extraordinary night.

Layla couldn't help but tease Bianca as they entered the Halloween party grounds, noticing that almost every girl in sight seemed to have wings of some sort. She nudged her sister playfully. "Looks like you're not the only Valkyrie around here, sis. It's a winged invasion!"

Bianca chuckled, her eyes scanning the grandeur of the party grounds. The entire space was adorned with vibrant lights, casting a magical glow over the festivities. Music boomed from the speakers, creating an infectious rhythm that permeated the air. Laughter and chatter filled every corner, mingling with the energetic beats.

As Layla and Bianca made their way through the large entrance, heads turned to catch a glimpse of Layla in her striking Wonder Woman costume. The crowd couldn't help but ogle at her, appreciating the allure of her ensemble. Bianca leaned closer to Layla, a knowing look in her eyes. "Told you that outfit was a little too exposing, didn't I?"

Layla smirked, reveling in the attention. "Hey, I'm here to make an impression, aren't I? Besides, it's Halloween! Anything goes."

Layla's costume was a dazzling combination of red and gold, the colors of Wonder Woman's iconic ensemble. The shimmering fabric clung to her curves, accentuating her figure. Her flowing black hair cascaded over her shoulders, and she wore a confident smile that matched her fearless persona.

As Layla and Bianca seamlessly blended into the pulsating party, absorbing all the fun, Sabrina and Jeremy pulled up in their car. Sabrina's face radiated excitement as she bounced on the seat, unable to contain her enthusiasm. Jeremy, on the other hand, tried to maintain a composed demeanor, reminding Sabrina not to spoil her costume. "Be careful with those wings, Sabrina. They're delicate."

Sabrina shot Jeremy a mischievous grin. "Oh, come on, Jez! It's a Halloween party. Let's have some fun!"

They stepped out of the car, Sabrina's radiant wings catching everyone's attention. Jeremy couldn't help but playfully tease her, pointing out each girl he saw wearing a Valkyrie costume. "Hey, there's a Valkyrie! Look, Sabs, there goes another one. Oh, my god, one more!"

Sabrina playfully rolled her eyes, her gaze lingering on Jeremy's outfit. He wore a simple cream-colored tunic, black skin-tight jeans tucked into medieval boots, and an empty scabbard hanging from his left side. She chuckled, teasing him in return. "You went for the minimalist knight look, huh? Saving damsels in distress?"

Jeremy shrugged, a smile tugging at the corner of his lips. "Hey, sometimes less is more, right? And also, I’m a Viking."

As Sabrina and Jeremy entered the main party grounds through the common entryway, they continued to exchange playful banter. The vibrant atmosphere engulfed them, and they couldn't resist the urge to dance along with the contagious rhythm of the music. Sabrina pulled Jeremy by his arm, her laughter blending with the infectious beats.

While Sabrina lost herself in the crowd, dancing in a liittle abandoned spot, Jeremy's gaze scanned the surroundings anxiously. Sabrina noticed his restlessness and asked, "Looking for those girls from last night, are you?"

Jeremy hesitated for a moment, then admitted, "Maybe... I mean, I just want to see if they're here, you know?"

Sabrina grinned mischievously and followed his gaze, scanning along, looking for unfamiliar faces, to her surprise she saw a lot of them but her eyes rested on one particular girl, she was Layla. Sabrina nudged Jeremy. "Hey, check that girl out, I mean her costume, Jeremy. It's quite revealing, don't you think?"

Jeremy's eyes widened in surprise as he followed Sabrina's pointed finger and recognized Layla. "Wait... she's one of the girls I met? Now I remember, I think they are sisters."

Sabrina nodded, excitement evident in her voice. "Yes! This is our chance to find out where the other one is. Let's go talk to her, she would definitely know her sister’s name"

Jeremy hesitated, feeling a mix of nervousness and curiosity, but Sabrina was already pulling him towards Layla. They maneuvered through the crowd, their footsteps synchronized with the thumping beats of the music. Excitement filled the air as the partygoers danced and laughed, lost in the spirit of Halloween.

Just as Jeremy and Sabrina were about to approach Layla, an announcement about the Halloween Parade echoed through the speakers, causing the crowd to erupt in excitement. The sudden surge of movement made it difficult to keep sight of Layla. The colorful lights swirled around them, reflecting in the eyes of the revelers as they eagerly awaited the parade.

Panicked, Jeremy desperately scanned the crowd, searching for any sign of Layla. In the chaos, he realized he had also lost sight of Sabrina. His worry deepened as he wondered where she could have disappeared to. The vibrant party atmosphere seemed to swallow them, leaving him feeling momentarily disoriented and alone amidst the sea of revelers.
