Howling Halloween Ⅱ: Harrowing Halloween

Lily and Elly

The group split up. Lily and Elly walked into the house's main ballroom. It was a huge room, with high ceilings and a massive glass and crystal chandelier. There were rows and rooms of tables with dolls on them. Elly and Lily walked around looking at all the cool dolls, doll houses, doll furniture and accessories. They were looking at a particularly cool draw-string doll. She wore a forest-green overcoat, and a light green, floral-print dress with lacy trim. It was really fancy. Her hair was curly brown and went past her shoulders. When they pulled the string, the doll said cool things. "Lets sing a song" or "Want to drink some tea?" or "Let's build a set for our play!"

"Woah, what kind of doll is this?" Elly asked the stall tender, a slim woman with a floral print dress almost like the doll.

"This is a Chit Chat Chelsea!" The woman said. "She is supposed to be a famous actress from Hollywood! This costume is from Robin Hood!"

"I think it's pretty cool," said Lily, "and as a dressmaker, I can tell you, that is high-quality craftsmanship."

"How much is she?" Elly asked.

"Well, you've got a twinkle in your eye. I'll give it to you for $7," The woman said.

"Wow, I have exactly $7. Here you go," Elly gave the money and took the doll. The doll had a little twinkle in her eye, too.

"Hey, Elly?" Lily said. "What happened to Patricia, Pierre and Dark Sky?"

"What the what?" Elly said. "Lily, is this your first time babysitting?"

"Yeah, how can you tell?" Lily said.

"Well, you lost the kids, for starters!" Elly laughed. "Don't worry, they can't have gone far, let's look around."

"Where do you think they went?" Lily asked, as she looked around.

"Well, let's first look back at the entrance, and then we can ask a staff member to help us find them," Elly said.

"Good idea," Lily said. "Let's go."

They walked back to the entrance and they had a look around. They couldnt see the trio of ghosts anywhere. They were right about to ask a staff member for help when Elly noticed Chelseas hand pointing toward the baby toys section.

"Something tells me to look in the baby toys area, Lily," Elly said.

"What tells you?" Lily asked, skeptically.

"Just a hunch," Elly said, and Chelseas eye had that twinkle again.

As they walked toward the toy area, Lily saw something out of the corner of her eye. "Elly, did you see that tall man in the black and purple coat, with the top hat?"

"Um, where?"

"Just there, heading into the baby toys area."

"No, I dont think I did."

"I just know that man from somewhere, I think he might be a vampire."

"A VAMPIRE!?!? Like Jacques Saint Germain?"

"Yeah, I am kind of worried about him. Some vampires are nice, but most aren't. I can't remember who that was, but I definitely know that vampire."

"Well, should we sneak around?"

"Yeah, we had better be careful."
