Familiar (A Michael Myers fanfiction)

Prologue

Aspen

              Growing up I didn't have many friends. I was what you called "the social outcast" in school, but that didn't matter to me. It made me see that the friends I do have now, the ones that accept me are more valuable. Like my best friend Michael he is always there for me whenever I needed him. Hell he got beat up for me a couple times.

           'I'm so excited for Halloween tommorow', Halloween was me and Michael's favorite holiday. You get to dress up and get free candy! It was now afterschool and Michael was walking beside me. "Are you excited for Halloween jellybean?" he asked happily. I smiled,"you know it gummy bear." we both cringed at our nicknames for each other but we laughed it off.

          As we walked home I saw Michael's stepdad across the street waiting for him. I saw Michael get uneasy. I held his cold hand in mine and whispered to him,"you can stay at my house if you want, youre always welcome." he smiled sadly. "I can't but thanks. Bye aspen" I waved slowly and went home. 'I wish there was something I could do for him'

            Today was the day! Ahhhhhhhh! I ran across the street to Michael's house and slammed on the door. A sleepy Michael opened the door. "Aspen? Dude what the fuck it's 4 in the morning! Your gonna wake up half of china" he was frustrated but I could tell that he found my enthusiasm funny. "Come over to my house so we can hang out ya Goob!" he declined but I was persistent and very persuasive. "If you come over you can have all my gummy bears" his eyes lit up like a kid on Christmas. "Deal alright lets go".

            We spent the whole day eating junkfod and bingewatching Pokemon. We were having fun until we heard a loud pounding at our front door. My mom opened the front door and Michael's eyes widened in slight horror. 'Oh shit' it was Michael's step dad. "Michael you little shit! Where is he?! Im gonna murder him!" My mom was shocked by his outburst. "Excuse me? Did i just hear a threat? Don't make me call the police." my mom stood there waiting for an answer. His mouth hung open wide trying to find the right response until he gave up. "Alright alright no need to get hasty alright. I just need him back I won't hurt him."

Mother stared him down. "Alright BUT if I see a single scratch on that boy or he tells me you did something to him I will personally go to your house and beat your ass then call the cops on you!" At this point both me and Michael were laughing our asses off. Michael got up and left with his dad. I was sad now I wish he could've stayed longer. "Thanks mom, his dad deserved that." She smiled at me. "Well he got what he deserved. He isn't a good guy." I nodded in agreement and got ready for tonight!

Time skip

         Im ready to trick or treat! I decided to dress up as a diner girl. I even had my skates on. Im ready to go but there was something missing or more like someone. 'Michael!" I got to his house and knocked on the front door. To my surprise I saw his sister. "Oh hi. Do you know where Michael is?" she scoffed. "The little freak can't do trick or treating if that's what your wondering." My smile slowly fell. "What? Why?" She gave a small smirk. "Because im not going and if I don't go then he cant, so beat it ya brat." As she said that she slammed the door in my face. I wanted to cry but I couldn't. I was so sad. 'What am I going to do now?"

Michael

         "Hey laurie are you ready to go?" No response. "Laurie?" I spoke a bit louder as her door flung open revealing laurie and her im assuming boyfriend. "What do you want?" I snapped out of my small daze. "It's time to go trick or treating. I think aspen is waiting for me already." Laurie chuckled. "No she's not. I told her to leave since im not going with you. She looked pretty upset if I do say so myself." I looked at laurie in spite. "You.did.what?!" she only laughed and pinched my cheek. "Sorry you cant hang out with your girlfriend. She probably has better things to do anyways."

         I walked away while laurie was still talking. 'Im sorry aspen'. I threw my bag onto the floor and went to my room. 'Why laurie? We used to be so close'. Almost an hour later I heard a knock at the door. Frustrated I opened the door. "Beat it we don't have any can-" I stopped myself. It was aspen. I gave her a big hug. "Woah what's this for? You almost never want hugs." she giggled. I began to tear up. "Im sorry I couldn't go with you. It's because of my stupid sister!" she smiled and patted my back. "It's okay because guess what I got ya?!" I looked at her curiously. "What?" she handed me a bag, I opened it and saw it filled with candy!

          "Woah is this for me?" I asked in awe. She nodded. "Thanks" I wanted to invite her in but laurie or my step dad would probably kick her out. "Thanks aspen, I promise we'll hang out after Halloween okay?" Aspen gave we a sad smile and left. I was angry! Angry of how I was treated in my family. Now...they all have to pay. I went into the kitchen and grabbed a knife and some duct tape. "This one is for you asshole' I looked over to my step dad who was in an alcohol induced coma. First i taped him up making sure not to miss his mouth then I glided the knife across his throat. He woke up and started thrashing around which didn't do him any good. Before I knew it he stopped moving. I felt empty, as if nothing bothered me. Emotionlessly I looked up the stairs. 'Your turn laurie'.

Aspen

It was 2:00 in the morning. Everyone was asleep including me until the sound of sirens woke me up along with the flashing of red and blue lights. I was still sleeping and wondering what was happening this early in the morning. Looking out the window I saw Michael getting arrested. Wait Michael?! I grabbed my jacket, put on some slippers and ran outside to the cop car he was in. "Michael what the hell?! What happened?" He didn't say anything he only held his hand to my hand as they pressed together against the glass. "Hey! Get away from him he's dangerous!" I frowned. "Dangerous my ass!" The sight of Michael leaving in the car broke my heart.

'Michael'.
