Trick Or Treat || Michael Myers X Reader

Chapter Nine

Haddonfield, Illinois
October 30th, 1978

-----

The seemingly bland breeze coming from the air conditioning washed over my face, gently waking me up so that I could begin my day.

I sat up slowly, lifting my hands and rubbing the sleep from my eyes. Only to flinch when a stinging sensation made its way up my hand and to my damaged knuckles.

And then the memories of my odd behavior returned to me, making me frown and lower my hand.

I swallowed the lump in my throat and stood up, licking my lips in the process. I sighed, looking at the shattered mirror I had broken just the night before.

I felt so little emotion today compared to just hours before.

With a tired grunt I ambled my way downstairs to fetch some easy breakfast, not at all bothering to try to wake up Ms. Olif.

She could sleep in a coffin six feet under for all I care.

I rolled my eyes at my sour attitude, the dark mood accompanying me most likely caused by my lack of progress on my research.

Eventually, I arrived in the kitchen to search for a nearly empty box of cereal. I set it on the counter and spun around to grab a jug of milk.

I made my simple breakfast and took my seat at the dining room table.

I sighed softly, resting my chin a top the palm of my hand whilst my elbow propped it up. My free hand holding my spoon and scooping cereal into it before directing its way to my mouth.

I felt bland today.
Bored and hopeless.

Minutes passed and I was nearly done with my bowl of cereal, only to be stopped by the sound of the home phone ringing throughout the room.

My heart skipped a beat and I quickly stood up, whacking my leg on the table and cringing, "Shit! Fuck!" I whisper yelled before clumsily making my way towards the raging phone.

I took ahold of it and put it to my ear.

"Hello? Is Y/n there?" It was the Strode girl.

My mood seemed to have brightened at the sound of the teenagers voice coming through the telephone, as a wide grin spread across my face.

"Laurie!" I blurted.
"It's me! I'm here!" I leaned back on my heels.

"So, i'm gonna be heading to school soon and I just thought imd let you know that I didn't forget about our search for that Myers girl!" Laurie exclaimed, continuing soon after her short pause.

"So, while i'm at school I thought you should go to the library and look for old newspapers and stories on the Myers family. Stuff like that. They've gotta have something!" She explained, showing off her smarts effortlessly.

I nodded silently, my heart skipping beats at the thought of progressing my search for the sake of my one true love.

"For sure! I'll get started on that right away! Thank you Laurie darling." I thanked the young girl before we proceeded to say our goodbyes and hang up the phone.
