Halloween

Chapter 1

-October 31, 1980-

-Haddonfield Illinois-

A woman was laying down in bed reading a book, it was halloween night and surprisingly it was quiet, usually it would be screams and police cars everywhere, but not this year.

Ring!Ring!

"Hello?"

"Hey Em, are you awake?"

"Yes, is something wrong?"

"Oh no, I was just calling for you to come hang out with us."

"Rachel, it is 10:31 at night and what to you means us?"

"Don't worry about it, I just want to hang out with my friends."

The woman sighs.

"Fine, I'll be at your house in a minute."

"Oh it's not my house."

The woman's face turned confused.

"Then who house is it?"

------------------------------

"Why did I agree to this?" The woman said to herself.

This was Emily Harden, a successful woman, quiet, hot tempered, never gotten into any trouble, gorgeous, and has a secret.

"Oh come on Emily lighten up." Rachel said covering her friend's eyes.

"The last time I did that you almost burned your house down."

"I said I fell asleep!"

"Rachel, where are we going? And why are my eyes covered?"

"Cause it's a surprised."

"Will this be something I will say no to."

"Maybe.."

"Rach."

"You'll love it I promise."

Emily sighs wondering what her mischievous friend was doing doing. As they walk Emily realize they just walked up a few steps then heard a door open in front of them.

They stop and Rachel moves her hands away.

"Tada!"

Emily opens her eyes looking around the dark space confused.

"Where are we Rachel." She demanded.

"The Myers house." Rachel replied.

"What! Are you crazy!"

"Oh come on Emily let's have some fun." A man said walking into the front room.

"No."

Emily turns to leave but Rachel stops her.

"Oh come on Em, it's just one night we can all enjoy being teenagers again."

"We're adults Rachel, not kids."

"But don't you want to explore the haunted house."

"No and it's not haunted."

"Emily just live up a bit." Another man walks out the kitchen.

"You too Jeremy."

Jeremy shrugs his shoulders.

"You know I like these kind of things."

"Emily I dare you to stay you can't leave." Billy said.

Emily sighs crossing her arms.

"Fine and I'm not doing this because you're doing a stupid dare."

"What, are you scared the boogyman is going to get you in your sleep."

"Pfft, are you?"

"Not a chance."

"We'll see about that."

"Alright you two let's just set up where we'll be sleeping." Rachel said.

"Oh no, I refuse to sleep in this house." Emily protested as Rachel pushed her in the living room.

"Emily, I don't want to hear another word from you, I brought you here to spend time with you."

"Yeah but you had to bring my ex and into this house which is known for people dying."

"Hey we're going to be fine."

Emily just gave up on talking out of it, she was not the person to do these kinds of things, and here she was being forced to stay in you know who's house.

----------------------------

After getting settled in the living room everyone was sitting around a lamp that lights up some parks of the room.

It was time to choose a game.

"Okay what game should we do first?" Rachel asked.

"Truth or Dare." Jeremy said.

"Fine with me, Emily?"

Emily just groans slouching with her arms crossed.

"I don't see why not." Billy said.

"Alright then I go first, Jeremy truth or dare?" Emily asked her boyfriend.

"Eh, truth." Jeremy replied.

"Have you ever slept with someone before me?"

"No, never."

"You swear."

"I swear on my life."

"Alright then, Billy truth or dare."

"Dare." Billy replied.

"I dare you and Emily to make out."

Emily glares at Billy and Billy was frozen.

"Pass." Emily said. "Where in the world did that come from!"

"Oh come on Emily, it's just something for fun."

"Something for fun my ass."

Emily stood up stomping to the front door trying to open it but it wouldn't open.

"Real funny Rachel, first you bring me here and you won't give me the right to leave!"

"I didn't lock it." Rachel said walking to Emily.

"Well it's not opening."

While Rachel trying to open the door the guys went to them.

"Why you have to kill the fun Emily?" Jeremy asked.

"Me! I don't even want to be here in the first place."

"Oh just because your ex is here."

Billy looks away and Emily narrows her eyes.

"Watch yourself, Jeremy." She warned before going upstairs.

"Emily come back." Rachel said.

"Sorry Rachel but I want to be alone right now."

Emily walks into a room closing the door, Rachel felt sad for her friend then slaps her boyfriend.

"Rachel what the hell!" Jeremy said.

"This is all your fault!" Rachel said before storming back into the living room.

-----------------------------

In a room Emily was sitting on the old bed looking at a photo in her hands.

It was a picture of a blonde boy and girl, one arm's around the other with big smiles.

"People will never understand." She whispered.
