Episode 15: The Kregger’s Manor

The sounds of snapping from fingers echoed in Angela’s ears and didn’t stop until her blurred vision became clear again. She could see a black iron bar gate stood directly in front of her and beyond it stood a manor. In addition, noticed people gathering together dressed in costumes. While in thought, she flipped back her blue hair when she heard the shouts of someone choking. She turned around and saw a guy in a paintball costume drenched in water from the top up.

“I am so sorry,” Angela said apologetically.

“What is your damage lady,” complained the guy soaked in water.

“Maybe that will get you sober up Dek,” said a girl in a maid uniform.

“Shut up Sammy! How would you like it if I paintball your ass!” He shouted. He started waving his paintball gun around and when I came toward her, Angela grabbed his wrist and flipped him to where he would land on the ground on his butt.

“Wow,” said Sammy.

“No way,” said a girl next to Sammy in a cowgirl costume.

“Holy shit!” said Dek’s buddy.

“Serves him right. Who the hell comes to a Halloween costume party, an elite college party I may add and is post drunk? Charles, get your friend,” said Sammy.

“Dude get up,” said Charles. While Dek’s paintball gear was packed with red patches, Charles’s on the other hand was green. Dek pulled on Charles in order to get up.

“Y’all need some help?” asked cowgirl Amy.

“Don’t help them Amy, they got no one to blame but their own damn selves,” said Sammy, looking at the both of them. Dek looked up at Angela with disgust, but Angela returned the look with a smile when the two of them finally moved on.

“That was awesome. Back where I come from, no one would dare do something like that,” said Amy as they approached Angela.

“I really am a lady. I have very low patients when it comes to jerks and asses, asses and jerks,” Angela said to them.

“Jerks and asses, asses and jerks…I like that, freshman right?” Sammy asked her. Before Angela said anything, she had to ponder for a minute because she hadn’t been called a freshman in a while.

“Yeah. In fact I just got here and my roommate who is out of town told me about this joint. A good way to meet new people, however it would help if I knew someone to go with,” Angela acted.

“This is my first year here too,” said Amy.

“Well, since you manage to get rid of the riffraff, tag along with us,” expressed Sammy with a friendly smile.

“Really? You’re sure?” Angela asked again.

“It’s going to be so much fun, c’mon,” said Amy, grabbing and wrapping her arm around Angela’s. All three girls followed the crowd from the gated entrance to the top of the stairs only to be greeted by a fellow student named Jason who stood guard. He was allowing the “chosen” to enter.

“Hey Jason, don’t you look manly in your executioner costume.

“Flattery will get you everywhere. You may enter, accept for you,” Jason said while pointing his sword at Angela. “She is an unknown in the eyes of the court.”

“Seriously?” Angela thought out loud.

“She’s with us, besides I’ll save you a dance,” Sammy whispered in his ear.

“Whom costume does thou wearith?” Jason asked, scanning her with his darting dark eyes.

“I’ma…witch. Blue hair and all. Does thou approve?” she told him, thinking it’s Halloween, might as well just go with the flow.

“…the court approves. Enter if you dare,” Jason said to them. Angela pulled Sammy to whisper,

“Does he really talk like that?”

“He really gets into his character,” she answered. A maid, a cowgirl and a witch entered into the Kregger’s Manor.
