America of 2015.
It was a dull rainy day, but everyone still managed to stay cheerful and excited. For today, was Halloween. The day American’s celebrate by stuffing there faces with candy of all kinds, and end up feeling sick the next morning. It was the only day that everyone could where what they wanted and they wouldn’t be judged.
Delilah had packed an entire bucket full of chocolate, preparing for any kids that might possibly visit. Not that many often did. No one usually came trick or treating in apartments, but last year, the only year that Delilah didn’t by candy, a young group of teens happened to knock on her door. She ended up covered in eggs, her blonde hair drenched with the smell of it. Luckily her room mate, Iris was there to wash it out.
‘Iris?’ Delilah called from the room. ‘Any chance we could go trick or treating tonight?’ Delilah smiled, trying to make puppy dog eyes at her.
‘Lil, aren’t we a tad to old for that?’ Iris replied as she unwrapped a piece of candy and through it at Delilah.
‘Never, I think were the perfect age for this!’ she answered back, catching the piece of candy in her mouth.
‘We don’t even have costumes’ Iris laughed.
Delilah ran into her room and with in a minute returned, holding two costumes. One was a leotard that came with stockings, bunny ear and a fluffy tail. The other was dark purple, and came with cat ears.
‘Pick one’ she said, dangling them in front of Iris.
Iris smiled before agreeing to participate in the trick or treating. She took the cat outfit and went into the room. Delilah took her phone from the kitchen counter and looked at it. One missed call and 1 messages.
Are we still going tonight? Or have you chickened out? :P x - Harry
Delilah smirked at her phone before replying.
I have NOT chickened out. We are still going…..unless you’re the scared one?
Iris walked out of the room and was dressed in her cat outfit.
‘I look ridiculous’ she laughed.
‘You do not!....I’m going to get changed, if the door rings answer it’ Delilah ran into her room.
Iris took her eyeliner and walked over to the mirror near the front door and attempted to draw whiskers on.
Knock Knock
The sudden knock at the door caused Iris to smudged the eyeliner on her cheek.
‘Shit’ she said wiping it from her cheek.
She walked over to the door, taking the bucket of candy from the kitchen.
‘Trick or Treat!’ A familiar voice called out.
‘Harry? Is that you?’ Iris asked looking at the white make up faced lad standing in the hallway.
‘How’d you know?’ he laughed ‘I mean……..I vant to eat you!’ he replied.
Iris laughed.
‘You idiot’ Delilah said walking over to the front door in her bunny outfit. ‘It’s I vant to suck your blood’ she added.
‘Well, I’m sorry’ he said as he kissed her on the cheek. ‘So do I get candy or what?’ he asked, trying to steal some from the bucket Iris was holding.
‘No, these are for the kids’ Iris explained as a group of loud people ran up the hallway towards us.
‘Oh no, that’s not-’ Iris was cut off.
‘It is’ Harry smirked.
‘IRIS! DELILAH!’ the four boys yelled as they got closer to the apartment door.
A few people stuck there heads out from there rooms and yelled at the guys, but they didn’t care. Niall, Louis, Liam and Zayn had now turned up. Niall was dressed as Batman, Louis was Peter Pan, Liam was Woody from Toy Story and Zayn was a pirate.
Niall managed to swipe the bucket of candy away from Iris and by the time the boys were finished with them the bucket only contained 7 pieces of chocolate. And they were mint chocolates too. Ew.
‘So are we going or not?’ Delilah asked after watching Niall eat the last Mars Bar.
‘Sure, lets go’ Liam replied.
Iris locked the door and all 7 of them walked down the hallway to the elevator. It had stopped raining but it was getting dark now. The streets were lite with lights, skeletons, pumpkins, and all other kids of scary things. Kids crowded the paths , throwing eggs at each other and trying to scare eachother. It took awhile for Iris to realise where they were all going.
‘We are not going in there’ Iris stopped walking. Harry, Delilah, Niall,Liam,Zayn and Louis all stopped.
‘It will be fun’ Zayn said looking over at Liam who was looking over at Louis, unsure it it would be fun at all.
‘Iris, let’s just go check it out’ Delilah told her.
‘That placed is abandoned and old and creepy, you know a mad scientist use to live there right?’ Iris argued back.
Niall stopped frozen to the spot as a piece of candy fell from his mouth.
‘You didn’t tell me that!’ Niall started getting scared. Delilah walked over and took his hand.
‘It’s alright Nialler, I’ll be with you the whole time’ she reassured him. Niall smiled and gladly continued walking towards the mansion. Harry glared, but also continued walking.
Liam gave Louis and nod and then walked off with Zayn, leaving Louis and Iris standing alone in the streets.
‘Just take my hand; nothing will happen’ Louis took Iris’ hand ‘We’ll be okay’ he smiled.
‘Fine’ she replied before they both caught up to the group.
The mansion was creepy looking. Broken windows, destroyed walls, vines growing around the entire house. The grass didn’t look like it had been mowed in awhile. There was a gate surrounding the house. It was at least 4 meters high and it was made from steel. Luckily it was opened.
Once again everyone stopped, staring at the house. No one wanted to be the first one to go past the gate.
