It's All in the Past

A Campfire Story

Chapter: 1 2 3 4 5


=In my story when Halloween happen the people of Halloween town goes on this huge parade of Horror casting mischief and other stuff Halloweeny in th human world then disappears without a trace. I made this when i thought of what Halloween town actually dose at Halloween. Seeing that Sandy Claws goes deliver presents. And the Easter bunny brings candy. =

The last few days flew by quickly and before anyone relished, it was Halloween Night.

Every creature was in the town square getting ready to go through the fountain into the human world. Ready for Halloween.

'AAAHHH Everything in Town is here!' Selen thought bitterly as she was, yet again, pushed back by another monster.

Selen was about to go bull style through the crowd to where Jack stood, when a hand caught the collar of her neck and pulled her away from the crowd.

"Velne, vhy you there? And not here vith us?" A voiced scolded her.

Selen rolled her eyes. It was Virgan, her senior bat of the clan. Selen lived with her uncles in a vampire clan called the Town Clan, there are lots of clans all around Halloween land. Town clan was the smallest of the lot what can you aspect from a clan with only 4 menders in it.

"Umm because i saw a penny and i wanted it?" Selen said hopefully.

"Haven't you veen listing Velen? You are surposed to stay vith us" Vergan continued ignoring Selen.

"Uncle ever thought about speech classes? It could really help that accent you know." Selen said cheerfully ignoring every word coming out of his mouth.

"Vhat! Velen that is Verry disrespectful! Vhat do you ave to say for yourself?"

"I know this great tutor really he made me sound like a cowboy YYYEEEEHAAAAAA! Then Irish , gooden morn ye laddie. And back to this! It could do wond-"

"THAT IS ENOUGH!" Vergan shouted causing everyone to look.

"Great trick Pops they made a path right through!" Selen wiggled free while Vergan muttered apologize after apologize.

While Everyone was distracted Selen gestured to Jack to follow her to the fountain. Jack putting one arm over Selen's shoulder and Selen putting one arm around his waist, they both stepped in.

‘Odd I cant hear anything’ Taking off his skull Jack emptied the water out of it and put it on again. ‘Much better’

He and Selen had emerged from a lake and unlike the slime of the fountain, this water goes every where and stays there.

"shiiiiiiiiiiish, why did the portal have to be a lake?" Selen complained taking the bottom of her cloak and squeezing it to get the water out.

"Because the Halloween portal's entrances mirror the exits in the human world." Jack replied knowingly.

Suddenly Selen jumped up and on to his shoulders, then with her first she knocked on his skull.

'ow ow ow' Jack owed in his skull.

"How can you keep all that information without a brain?" Selen wondered out loud, she started to reach down to grab his skull when Jack's hands enclosed around hers.

"Selen it is Halloween. We are meant to go and scare people not play around. It IS only once a year you know."

"Fine, just because it is Halloween." Selen hopped off with the true grace only a vampire could own.

"Now lets us go find some munchies" Selen said jokingly drumming her fingers together. "heheheheheheheheheheh"

Jack grinned ear to ear. "I spotted a campsite, want to give them a midnight fright?" He said clasping his own hands as well.

Putting her arm over her mouth in the classic vampire pose Selen, smirking whispered.
"Let us go, I'm in the mood for a scary campfire story."

"Then there was a knock on the door, Susie went to open it and there in the doorway stood the AXE MURDERER!"

'What a drag...' Mary thought bitterly. There was nothing wrong with that story as an ending but the thing was, it was the beginning.

"Here i thought it was it was a bunny" A voice said from the shadows.

Mary turned to look, it was a girl wearing a long black jacket it looked like . She had sat on a log just out of reach from the campfires warm glow. What Mary could make out of her, was that her hair seemed to be blue...

Figuring that she was one of Jessica’s friends Mary asked.
“Oh, so you can tell a better story then that?”

“Please I could tell a better story in my sleep.” The girl snorted.

“Go on then.” Mary challenged.

The girl leaned forward, the fire casted an eerie glow on the girl’s mouth. The rest of her face was covered in shadow because her hoddie was down.

The girl smiled and started her tale.

“It happened on a night, very much like this one, when the moon couldn’t shine through the clouds. And a breeze just whispered over the land.”

Mary glanced quickly up at the sky. ‘She’s right, the sky’s fogged over. I can’t see the moon. I’m sure it was there a minute ago…’

“It happened a very long time ago in a forest. The forest was called Skeleton Grove, for a reason you hear. An escaped prisoner was trapped in those woods, surrounded by his prison guards waiting on the outside. The forest had a long ago died so there wasn't anything to eat. The prisoner was staving and one night he burnt his finger in the fire, he sucked on it to cool it. It tasted good... the prisoner thought it was an easy way to get food. He burned another one and ate it. Soon he burned his whole hand and ate it. Leaving nothing but bones..."

Mary shivered, there was a light breeze and it was cold, at lest that is what she kept telling her self.

"He continued burning and eating. By the end of the night he had eaten everything, his body was a complete skeleton. But he was still hungry, he thought about the guards outside. How plump they were..."

Mary swallowed disgusted.

"His first attack was on little Jimmy. He was only 15. The Prisoner attacked him when he was sleeping. The guard next to him watched helplessly as the Prisoner dragged little Jimmy away into the forest, listening to his screams. The Prisoner had gotten a new name. The Skeleton Demon."

Mary glanced quickly to the forest, uncomfortable. She wasn't the only one, every person around that fire had one or other time in the story glanced to the woods.

"And every night The Skeleton Demon dragged another guard into the forest. And every night, screams filled the air. Soon the guards fled, but don't worry The Skeleton Demon had plenty of other food through the years.
Once an old couple went for a walk...
A pair of lovers died in each others arms..."
The girl smiled an evil smile.

Mary felt her pulse raising, 'something was wrong here…'

“And they say on night’s when the Moon can not be seen and a icy breeze is felt.”

‘Very wrong’

“He will return for an other meal…”

Then without any warning the fire exploded upwards reviling The Skeleton Demon! Still in his prison clothes and handcuffed.

Shrieking with mad laughter, The Skeleton Demon launched forward grabbing Mary around the waist.

Mary screamed kicking franticly. The Skeleton Demon Lifted her up higher as if it wanted to eat her.

Mary kicked a well aimed kick right to Demon's skull. The head flew off, landing in Jessica's arms. Screaming Jessica ran off leaving the head behind.

The Demon dropped Mary and leaned easily to the place his head was.

Seeing this may be her only chance, Mary raced towards her car, fumbling with the key she glanced over to where she saw the Demon last.

He wasn't there any more though. Screams filled the night. High pitched and fear stricken.

Then silence...

Everything was quite. Too quite.

With a loud bang the Demon landed on Mary's bonnet. Her own screaming filled the sudden silence.

Flooring it, Mary took off. Startled the Demon jumped off last second and run back to the campfire.

'Never again in my life am I camping again.' Mary vowed.

Xxxxxxxx

Selen was rolling on the ground laughing.
"Did you see their faces!" She shrieked while still laughing.

"Yes i did." Jack replied chuckling smiling his signature grin.

"Good job on the story though, it wouldn't have been the same with out it."

"Thank you, thank you, you are now forever in my debt." Selen chuckled with a bow of her head.

Her evil grin returned. "Wasn't there two more that ran off in the woods?"

"Why yes my evil assistant."

"Why don't we go and say hi?"

"It would be very rude not to."

"What are we waiting for then?"

"You to lead the way of course."
