It didn’t take long for the marathon thing to thin out and stop completely. It was fun while it lasted but all of us had homework to do. Days passed by and summer turned into autumn. Not long ago Gabriel and I formally ended it with the divorce and we haven’t spoken since. I got custody of Sarah during the week but on the weekends she was with him. As of tradition the week of Halloween all of the students had off. The prank rate had also risen through the roof thanks to Anakin and Dean who were ruthless and did whatever then could whenever they could. I helped out on occasion. Soon it was Halloween day and the group had come to my house for planning the greatest prank. Dean and Anakin sat at the table in deep conversation trying to decided the perfect plan of action. Merry, Pippin, Loki, and George were  messing with objects at the other end. I was making lunch for all of us.

“I’ve got it!” Dean jumped up suddenly, causing a chain reaction of all of the rest of us to jump as well.

“Dammit Winchester, you can’t yell like that!” I shouted at him.

“Sorry, I forgot it’s indoor voices in this house. We wouldn’t want Sarah to learn such bad behaviours” Dean rolled his eyes and went back to his planning.

“It’s not that. You just scared the hell out of all of the rest of us” I turn back to what I was making.

“Whatever. Who is ready for a prank?” Dean asked. A series of yes’ and hell yes’ rang through the house coming from all the other members.

“Okay here is the plan. George I want you to stand in front of Steve’ office. You will be off to the side so that he can’t see you and you will be holding a string that is connected to a bucket that is over his office. We will have a fake fight going on in the halls so we can draw him out. the minute he comes out drop the water. When he gets temporarily blinded by the water Merry and Pippin, who will be on the other side of the office waiting, will empty a bucket of marbles down the hall in front of him” Dean explained.

“Okay, who is fighting who?” I asked him.

“I figured that we could. I’m not afraid to hit a girl” Dean said,

“And I’m I’m not afraid to hit a lesser” I countered.

“Ohhhhhhh”

“You went there Miller. You certainly went there.” Dean shook his head.

“You bet I did Winchester” I grinned. “Now come on, we want to catch Steve in his office. I turned off  the stove and put a lid on the pot so it would be warm when we got back. We got two buckets, filled on with water and filled one with marbles. When we entered the hall it was busy. George left to set up his bucket of water and Merry and Pippin left to get in position for their marbles. Anakin and Loki were left to get the crowd riled up and into the fight. George gave us the thumbs up and me and Dean started our distraction.

“What the hell Dean? Why don’t you watch where you are going!” I yelled over the crowd.

“Where I’m going? You were the one texting!” Dean yelled back.

“Texting? That is the best excuse you could come up with?” I laughed at him. “You know what? I’ve had it up to here with you Winchester!” I pushed him.

“Right back at you Miller!” He pushed be back and I fell on the ground. When he was on top of me I flipped him over, like I had learned to on Krav Maga, and started to “hit” back. By now the students had gathered around and were chanting fight over and over again.

“What is going on out here?” I heard Steve ask. There was then a series of loud clatters which was our cue to run. I stood up and helped Dean up as well.

“We do shows everyday at noon, feel free to stop in” Dean said and we ran. I led them to my closet that I had found last year and we all ducked in there. It was a very tight squeeze and we almost all didn’t fit. “Well this has certainly been eventful” Dean laughed. Everyone agreed with him.

“How long are we going to wait in here?” Pippin asked, then added, “I’m hungry”

“Of course you are Pip, you are always hungry” Merry rolled his eyes.

“We may be here awhile Pip” I told him.

“Okay” Pippin sighed.

“Sorry to be the one to break the news, but if we don’t want to get caught, and none of us have in any of the ones previously, then we should probably shut up so Steve doesn’t find us” Loki shot at us. None of us said anything and we waited.

When I say waited I don’t mean ten minutes, I mean a few hours. Coincidentally I had left me phone at home, as had everyone else, so no one knew what time it was. When we finally crawled out no one was in the halls and they were completely silent and dark.

“What time is it?” George asked.

“It must be last. Everyone is probably at the dance to hear who the winners for this years contests are” Anakin told him.

“Or it is after twelve and they are all back in their rooms” Dean added.

“That too. It could be either” Anakin agreed.

“Well we should probably be heading back. This place is creepy in the dark” Pippin said looking around as if something was about to jump out at him at that moment. In the distance we could hear the slight clattering of some fancy ass boots.

“Wait a minute… Oh shit” I said suddenly.

“What?” George asked.

“We need to go, NOW!” I said looking around at the others

“Why? What is coming?” Merry asked.

“You don’t want to know and I don’t want to know if I am right” I told them. I turned to leave but was stopped by a distant faded and broken voice.

“Whe-ere do yo-ou thi-thi-think you-r going~?” I was right and I hated when I was right…

(Sorry this chapter was so short. I'll make it up to all of you in the next one I promise! You are going to love what is coming!)
