Sally's POV-
I sat in a chair, figiting. I had finished my book and cleaned the house. Nothing left to do! I got up and pulled out my coat. It didn't even come close to being done up.
'not long now.' I thought. I walked over to the door, stepping outside and walking towards Town Square.
As soon as I stepped into the little cobblestone circle, Mergirl came up to me, smiling. "Hey Sally!' She said. "Hey Mer." I said. "How are you?" She asked. "You wanna sit down?" She added, helping me over to the fountian. We sat down on the edge of it, looking down at the murky green water. "So..." I started. 'How are you?" I asked. "Fine. And you?" She asked as well. "Fine too. Can't be long now." I said, smiling. She nodded.
"I wonder if it is a boy or girl." She wondered. I thought for a second. Me too. But I had desided to be surprised. Besides, it if was a skelliton, how could we tell? "Me too. But surprises are the best." She said lightly. "Oh definatly." She agreed. "The witches, corpes-mom and I are going to the libary to find some books. You want to come?" She asked. "Of crouse! I just finished my other book." I laughed. "Perfect." Megirl smiled. "Come on." She grabbed my hand as we walked over to Corpes-mom, who was talking to the mayor. "Sally's coming with us to the libary." She said.
'Oh, hi Sally." The mayor said, grinning. "Hi Mayor." I returned. "You lot have fun at the libary." He said, nodding goodbye before walking away to Town Hall. I sighed softly. jack was probably in there. "....Wanted to know if I could help." Corpes-mom finished. "Excuse me?" I asked. "Don't worry." Mergirl said, grinning. "We heard you sigh and guessed you weren't here." I blushed. "Funny." I said.
We walked over to the local libary; The Halloween Pages. The witch twins, Helda and Zelda waited outfront. "Hello girls." They both said. We walked in and headed over to the mystery section. I was just looking for a good Sherlock Holmes book when I saw Lock, Shock and Barrel enter. Something told me to keep and eye on them, so I watched discreetly as they headed over to the magic section.
I though Shock had come to get some more books on how to use magic, her being a witch and all. But they walked right by it and headed for the animal section. I saw Lock say sonething, not sure what, I was too far away to hear, and Shock snap something in return. barrel had a distant, far-away look on him. Something about the look gave me deja vu. But then Barrel said something to the other two trick-or-treaters and picked up a book. I just saw the cover. But it was enough to make my blood run cold.
The tital said 'How To Catch Bugs'.
