Chapter 11

"Don't Fear the Reaper"

Flashback to the Halloween party- Gallant, Mallory, Mead, Venable, Coco, Emily, Timothy, and Grandma Evie are all having a Halloween event and they are having a special dinner for once. Or so they think. They are all sitting down and instead of a cube they are having pasta and wine. They are all surprised when the food is laid out.

"I think it's typical that Langdon and both those girls aren't here like usual," Coco scoffs as she teases her hair up.

"Yep, no surprise there," Mallory agrees with her rolling her eyes.

Venable calls everyone to order by stomping her cane up and down.

"Attention, everyone! I hope you are all grateful for this feast. We will not be having this again so enjoy. And Happy Halloween! Cheers!" she says as she raises her wine glass.

Everyone else does the same. Mead and Venable exchange a knowing look with one another. They know what is about to happen but no one else is prepared for the horror that is soon to come. They are all ready for a real meal in what seems like forever although some of them are a bit suspicious. Little do they know everything is poisoned. Venable and Mead prepared their own food and poured their own wine before they used arsenic to poison the rest of the meal. Everyone takes a drink from their glasses.

"This is good," Gallant remarks as he takes a bite of his pasta.

"Delicious," Evie agrees as she does the same.

Everyone is eating now and Venable looks on smirking in delight. She is eager to see them all start dropping dead like flies. She knows Michael won't be happy since he wanted to get rid of them all on his own in his own special way but she doesn't care and knows that she can handle him when the time comes. And those two girls of course them. How she despised them. She would make sure that they paid.

"I don't feel so good," Emily says with a hand over her stomach.

"Me neither," Timothy concurs.

They all start coughing and soon vomiting. Mead looks on with pleasure as does Venable. They start laughing at their expense. Soon everyone is out cold on the floor. Mead starts to check their pulses and Venable finishes her glass of wine.

"That was easy," Venable remarks.

"Too easy almost but it's done," Mead replies smugly.

"Guards get rid of these bodies," Venable orders them.

The bodies are soon moved to another room and the door is locked.

Next day- Mead and Venable are getting ready to go to Michael's room and they have two guards with them. She plans to take care of the witches because they are a growing problem and threat to her and Michael. Meanwhile, Michael and the two witches are still in bed naked and totally exposed with only a little bit of sheets over them. Venable turns the doorknob only to find out that it's locked. She takes the master key and unlocks it. She storms in with shock and her mouth open wide.

"Michael, Harmony, and Scarlet get up! All of you are a disgrace! It's over," she shouts at them. She has a knife with her slightly concealed behind her back.
