Hearts and Daggers

Chapter Twenty-Eight

DISCLAIMER: I don't own the Halloween franchise in any way but I DO own Katarzyna "Kat", Emelyn "Emmy", Cara and her family, and my other OCs. I also own the plot of H&D

Sorry for the wait! My life is currently nothing but deadline after deadline for classes and unfortunately I am also busy with some other personal stuff that has delayed me terribly.

Also I just wanted to say, looking back I was not planning on making Kat take all these twists and turns and focus so much on the romance portion of things. Honestly I was going to keep Kat as she was introduced, the "I-don't-care" attitude, morbid, etc. So I'm going to see if I can make a full circle here and bring back that Kat if we all want her back but we shall see. 

Chapter Twenty-Eight

HEADS UP: I AM PLANNING TO CHNAGE THE TITLE A LITTLE BIT. IT MAY CHANGE TO "HEARTS AND A DAGGER" BECAUSE I THINK IT MAY MAKE BETTER SENSE. I'm giving you guys the heads up in case anyone has this story saved on their phone or something because they don't have an account or something. So in the next day or two I would save my author name so you can still get to the story just in case. Tell me what you think!

Over the next few weeks, the death toll of Haddonfield rose fearfully high; beginning to compete with its old record. In just five short weeks, at least twenty people were already found murdered by who everyone already knew was Michael Myers. The news channels and papers were saying that it was his way of making up for his year long absence. Some of the police believed Michael was reasserting his power and control over Haddonfield because, in their words, "Myers has been getting a little soft lately it seems." Only Loomis, Emmy and I knew the real reason behind Michael's rage, only in this case, we had no idea what he would do next.

I hadn't heard from Michael since the night he confronted me with the test. I couldn't feel him watching me anymore nor would I find him in odd places around the house. Emmy had become anxious when Michael had stopped coming to her as well, never saying anything out loud but her emotions showing on her face clear as day. The realization that Michael had seemed to even shut Emmy out was enough to put Loomis and I on high alert.

After two weeks of relentless persuasion, I managed to convince Laurie to stay in our guest room until things settled down. Loomis had too seemed to temporarily move in, using the pull out couch as his bed. An unusual little family brought together out of the worry that Michael Myers would finally turn on them. All because of me.

"I don't understand why this is happening," Laurie said flipping through the news channels as I curled up on the other side of the couch, studying for one of my midterms, "I mean, yes Michael Myers is ruthless and has always taken large body counts but this seems so different. Twenty-two people are dead within a month; that's more than he's ever done in that time,"

"Well obviously he is furious about something and from what I've seen, he seems to be projecting it onto these people because he can't go after the true source," Loomis said from where he sat in one of the chairs. I refused to look up at him, feeling his gaze burning into the side of my head.

"Did you warn your friends?" Laurie turned to me, trying to ease some of the tension that suddenly filled the room.

"Yeah, I managed to convince them it was safer to stay in Ohio for a couple more weeks, but they came back a few nights ago because Oliver needed to get back to work. But anyone who has a strong tie with Emmy seems to be an exception to all of this chaos, hence why you haven't been attacked," I explained, flipping to the next page of my textbook. A few moments of tense silence passed until Laurie announced she was going to check on Emmy, heading upstairs, leaving Loomis and I alone.
