A Twisted Halloween: Terror is Trending

Chapter 3: #Heartslabyul Grit

Receiving the fright of their lives, the woman screams, "I'm sorry!"

Then the man screams, "We'll never walk into the flower bed again! In fact, we'll never walk into Night Raven College again!"

Then they both scream in fear, "FORGIVE USSSSSS!"

Then the Magicam Monsters run away in fear like dogs running with their tails between their legs.

"Are they gone?" Cater asks.

"Yes. They're making a beeline for the front gate," Deuce says with a smirk on his face.

Then Cater happily cheers, "Woo! Go team!"

Ace comes out of the ground and says with dirt on his face, "Deuce, come on, man! O TOLD you not to get dirt in my face!"

"Oh, stop whining. It's not like I could see much anyway with all the fog," Deuce says, annoyed.

"Great... Loosey-Deuce strikes again," Ace replies.

Then says with a grin, "If we hadn't been there to cover for this guy's hammy acting, we never would've scared off the Magicam Monsters. Am I right or what?"

"Definitely!" The two Heartslabyul students reply.

Deuce cracks his knuckles with an annoyed look, "Oh yeah? You wanna take it from the top, then?!"

"Sure, I'm down. This time, I'll throw the dirt!" Ace says.

Cater quickly stops the quarrel between them, "Easy, boys. You both deserve an acting award, IMO."

Then turns to the others, "Riddle, were you and Trey okay back there? All the extra Cay-Cay I made with my signature spell were getting dirt all over you guys."

"It was simple enough to shrug off. In fact, I think you could've done more with that. Your ghost performance was scary, I have to say. It sent a shiver down my spine. I never realized how much of a talent you had for acting," Riddle says.

"Wow, y'think?" Cater asks, happily. "If my copies killed it out there, it's prolly only because we got that atmospheric fog just right. All our dormmates using fire, wind, and water magic in tandem to generate mist... That was a huge success. That's what I called Heartslabyul solidarity, baby!"

"Thank you," The dorm students reply.

Then Cater says, "Operation Guard the Burial Ground was resounding success across the board."

"Too bad we're all dirty and grimy now," Ace says, displeased.

"We knew that would happen going in. You can't win a battle without accepting a few sacrifices," Riddle says.

Trey brushes the dirt from his head, "The dirt's gotten into my hair. Ich. I think all of us will need a good shower once we get back to the dorm."

"Okay," Cater says. Then holds out his phone, "Before we do anything else, lemme capture this moment. "

"THIS moment?" Trey questions, "Our costumes are filthy and everyone looks like a mess."

"Exactly! That's the proof we pulled it off. Don't worry, you'll all look great on camera," Cater says. Then puts his phone down, "This'll be perfect to put to Magicam once Halloween's over. What do I tag with? Hmmm..." He thinks and then has an idea, "How about... #RehersalsAreSrsBzns #HeartslabyulGrit."

Deuce laughs, "Ha ha ha! That'll throw those Magicam Monsters for a look when they see it."

Then Cater brings out his phone again, "Okay, everybody, all together now! You know what to say. One, two, three!"

Deuce and Cater say, "Happy Halloween!"

Then everyone cheers, "Happy Halloween!"

Soon, Cater takes the photo on his phone. This picture will be a good Halloween photo to remember.
