Chapter 2: Pumpkins & Costumes

//Dream//

Inside the Smith's Grove Sanitarium, a girl at the age of eight sits in front of a barred window in a large white room, staring outside as sunlight streams in. The door to the room opens. A young Dr. Sam Loomis enters the room with a hand in his pants pocket and holding his coat. 

Dr. Loomis: Hello, Michelle. I have someone here who would like to speak to you.

Just then, a seven-year-old Y/n steps into the room, nervously fiddling his fingers. He takes two steps forward towards Michelle before stopping. Y/n looks back to Loomis. Loomis nods to the boy to go on, as he stands by the door, hoping to get a reaction from his patient and hopefully make some progress.

Y/n: M-Michelle…? (the girl slowly and silently turns around to face Y/n, staring with her cold hazel eyes) U-Uhm.. I'm sorry, Michelle. But, this might be the last time we'll see each other. M-My parents say we're moving. Far away from town. My mom says things will be better for us someplace else. I don't wanna go... But… I… I'm sorry…

Without saying a single word, the young girl turns her gaze. Seemingly losing interest, facing back towards the window, staring outside.

Y/n just stood there, heartbroken, with his eyes beginning to water.

Loomis sadly watches. He checks the watch on his wrist before stepping towards the boy, gently putting a hand on the child's shoulder.

Dr. Loomis: (sympathetically) Come on… It's time to go.

//End of Dream//

Y/n wakes up. He sits up in bed and holds his face in his hands, then wipes sleep from his eyes. Y/n looks over at a clock on the nightstand next to him. The time reads 3 A.M. He sighs before plopping back down.

While laying on a soft pillow, he turns to the window, noticing light rain falling from the cloudy night sky.

OCTOBER 31st
HALLOWEEN 

The rain has stopped and the sky is a bright and beautiful blue as the sun begins to shine. The sunlight beams through the windows of Y/n's home, and into his eyes.

Despite being tired, Y/n uses all the energy he has to keep himself awake. He freshens up, slipping on a clean shirt and a pair of pants. He then steps out of the house, walking to the street.

In the streets, children ride their bikes and walk, stepping in puddles on their way to school. Some costumed children raced to their school bus, excitedly preparing for the night of trick-or-treating after school. Adults leave their homes, getting ready for work, and driving off in their cars.

A group of neighborhood kids, some in their early teens can be seen dressed in costumes, standing a safe distance away from a house as one teen lights a firecracker, planting it in a Jack-o'-lantern as the fuse sizzles.

The kids gather on the sidewalk, giggling, until the Jack-o'-lantern explodes into chunks and pieces. The kids then scatter, laughing as they run off from the scene.

Kids: Happy Halloween!

Still a bit tired, Y/n walks down the residential street. He feels the gentle wind breeze past, sweeping up a few leaves of the ground and into the air. As he wanders  through main street, Y/n decides to go and head toward somewhere for a few items. The man travels around the area, stopping by a local discount mart. A bunch of large plump pumpkins sit out front, stacked on each other with a note written above on a glass window: "$5". Y/n goes to enter the store. Behind him, a black Buick slowly drives up, parking nearby.

Y/n opens the door, walking in with a cheerful ring coming from the bell. He notices a man busy restocking the shelves at the front and a female clerk sitting behind the counter reading a magazine. Y/n waves at the clerk as the door shuts.
