The Pumpkin Mask

Chapter 2: 𝐓𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐤 𝐎𝐫 𝐓𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭

He opened the front door and watched as the group of kids flooded themselves inside his house running towards his brother's bedroom, he shook his head chuckling to himself while closing the door behind him and locking it, throwing the keys ontop the counter of the kitchen and his coat on one of the cost rack hangers

He messaged the bridge of his nose and sat back down on the couch turning the TV on again while also going on his phone (same fam), he could hear the giggling and yelling from the room which almost made him concerned on what they were doing in the room until he heard the sound of a video game going on

Sighing with relief he went back to doing what he was doing early waiting for it to be 6pm already so he could take them all trick or treating, all though.. He could take another nap to make the time go by faster, but he also didn't wanna wake up late or to the sound of some kids crying and screaming, or hitting each other with things that they have found around the house, why do decisions always gotta be so difficult to choose from?

After thinking he had decided he would take that nap, only he went up to his brother's bedroom and knocked on the door waiting for someone to open the door, when they did he looked down to see it was one of his friends, Caleb, James gave him a small smile before speaking

"I need to speak to Brady" he told him, watching the little boy yell inside for his brother over the video games

Brady walked up to the door after stumbling to get through the crowded room "Yes big brother?" He asked.

"I'm gonna be taking a nap, don't wake me up unless someone wants to go home, bleeding, injured, a bone showing, or it's time to go trick or treating"

The little boy nod his head twice before replying back "okay" he then shut the door and ran back to the group of boys and so little girls (not in a weird way) watching as two-four people were playing a game, James on the other hand went back to the couch and layed his body down grabbing a blanket and throwing it over his body with his head laying on a pillow

Soon after he closed his eyes he drifted off to sleep dreaming about whatever the gods decided he should dream about, not long after he felt someone tapping his shoulder to wake him up, at first he didn't really wanna get up but the more they did it the more irritated he got. So, he slowly opened his eyes and was met with his brother poking his shoulder quietly dying 'wake up wake up'

Which is what he exactly did, he sat himself up and looked at his brother with a blank but annoyed expression on his face, "what is it?"

"It's 5:50pm, we didn't know weither you wanted to wake us up before 6:00pm or exactly on 6:00pm.. Sorry for waking you up"

James's expression soon soften when he heard his brothers words calming himself down before replying back in a soft tone "yes.. Thank you for waking me up before 6:00pm, you did the right thing Brady" he gave his brother a small pat on the head and got up off the couch walking to his bedroom to get ready for tonight

After getting ready (I am NOT typing it all out) he sprayed some Cologne on him that spelled like vanilla cheese cake with some whipped cream on the top, leaving his room and looking at his phone he saw that it was about 5:57pm, he left his room and yelled out for his brother to come down stairs so they could get going

Along with that he grabbed his keys off the counter and his coat off a coat hanger, putting it on and placing the keys inside of his pocket listening to multiple little feets running down the stairs happily screaming with excitement

He smiled happily opening the front door making sure everyone of them had a basket for their candy's, he then grabbed the bowls of candy that was resting in the kitchen and placed them all outside with the same note on each and everyone one of them 'TAKE A HAND FULL AND LEAVE, CAMERA IS RECORDING YOU SO WE'LL SEE WHO TAKES MORE THAN JUST A HAND FULL"
