The Halloween Monster

Chapter 8

Becca

Looking over at Johnny, I know he’s stressed. This is the kill or be killed moment and I’m telling you.. I’m shitting bricks myself. There’s two couples left and those four people are our friends. We’ve already lost two… thinking of them, I look over at Latisha who’s just hovering around in circles. Huh… She was always so lively. Looking over at her mate Jude and seeing he’s fiddling with something… wait? Is that? That’s not fair! How’d he get the rubrics cube?

“It was in my pocket realm so I can still touch and play with it until tonight I do believe.” He’s growing as it wavers in his hand. “Yeah. Tonight. Let’s hope this works.”

“Shhh.” That was Jace. I guess he hears something we don’t, so we all be quiet and wait.

I’m running through a Forrest. My breathing is uneven and I can smell my own fear. I hear it taunting me. My dear, you can run but you cannot hide. Your fear is a delicious fragrance that I just simply cannot help but crave, but atlas, be at ease princess. I do not want you but my mate. She drew this spell and has made an everlasting deal with me that I cannot pass up, as much as your fear is intoxicating hers will be more fulfilling. So, please be a doll and call your friends here with her, I’ll make tonight easier on you.

I’m back in the room and look over at Jace who’s staring right at me. “What happened?” He asks.

So I tell them about the thing with a voice, what he’d said. Then we readjusted the plan. Here’s to hoping it works.

Lia

“When will the girls be here!” Whines Allyson. “I miss them” with a fake frown. She thinks we don’t see the dirty smirk she has as she turns away. I look over at Bella and whisper “you think this plan will work?” When she nods I focus back on Allyson. Who’d have thought she has a mate. Does she know?

“Who is it?” I whisper to Bella and see her shrug her shoulders from the corner of my eye. “What are you girls whispering about?” Allyson says in my ear making me jump. When I look back at Bella she’s chuckling because I wasn’t paying attention. So I think on the fly and say “I think Latty is leaving with someone else” Bella giggles then says “yeah, she was asking who it was” when we both look at Allyson, she has a scowl on her face but accepts it.

When Bella nods at me, I grab Allyson by her arm and pull her into me as Bella makes a portal. “What are yo…” that’s all she got out before we shoved her into the portal and followed after her.

We landed in front of Becca and everyone else. Allyson already has silver cuffs on her wrist so she can’t do magic. That’s when everything starts to get dark.
