Leaves were rustling along the grass as they blew in the wind, and the temperature had dropped down to the mid-50's. Halloween had finally arrived and had given children pure joy to once again walk house to house in search of delicious candy.
Although it was well past midnight and trick-or-treating was over, Kylie walked down the sidewalk. She looked up at the clouds in the clear night sky and at the moon shining bright above her. It was actually quite a peaceful night.
As she walked she could see candy wrappers on the ground and a few houses with yards covered in toilet paper. It brought back memories of when she was in high school a few years ago. As she turned the corner she saw a house with its windows covered with eggs and with what seemed to be the owner outside cleaning them off, mumbling curse words to himself.
She passed under the glow of the street lights and casually looked over her shoulder and saw a figure behind her in the distance. She couldn't see if it was a male or female, but continued walking. As she turned another corner she could see off the corner of her eye that the figure was now much closer. It turned down the same street as she did, and although she didn't get scared easily, she began to worry. She picked up the pace of her steps as she hurried down the sidewalk, and after every few seconds she quickly look over her shoulder to see if the figure was still behind her. It was.
She turned down another street and after walking down a considerable distance, she looked again. The figure was still behind her and she realized that whoever it was may be following her. After bad thoughts of all the scary movies she watched yesterday to get herself psyched for Halloween, her walking turned into an all-out sprint. She ran down the sidewalk as fast as she could until she reached my house, where she ran to the front door and knocked persistently. I opened the door and she ran by me.
"Geez, Kylie, what's up with you?"
"Someone was chasing me! They were following me for a few blocks! I couldn't see who it was but they were following me!"
"Kylie, what did I tell you about watching too many scary movies? You know they get to your head."
"I know, but I'm serious!"
I put an arm around her and walked her into the living room, "Yeah, okay....whether you were just seeing things or not, you're safe."
Kylie breathed heavily as she caught her breath. She sat down on the couch to relax and as I walked into the kitchen she grabbed the remote and started flicking through the channels.
"Hey, Sabrina, Kylie said someone was chasing her. I want to believe her but I'm not sure if she was just seeing things. You know how she is after watching a bunch of scary movies in one day."
"Yeah....that's probably it. She watches too many."
"Hey, why are you near the back door? Did you go outside?" I asked.
"Huh? Oh, no. I noticed it was unlocked so I made sure it was closed properly before I locked it for you."
"Oh, good. Thanks. Usually that door is locked, though. Perhaps Brad forgot to lock it," I shrugged and walked over to the phone to call Clara.
Sabrina walked out into the living room and sat next to Kylie on the couch, "So, I heard you were being chased?"
"Yeah! It was scary! I didn't even know who it was, they just followed me!"
"Hmmmmm....did they follow you here? Perhaps they're waiting for you outside?" Sabrina chuckled.
"SHUT UP! You're just trying to scare me."
"What? No I'm not. I'm just saying that if they know where you went they could be lurking behind the bushes waiting to GET YOU!"
"DAMMIT, YOU BITCH!" Kylie breathed heavily before she started to take longer breaths to calm herself down. "Stop."
