Halloween Hunt [Ross Lynch]•[Laura Marano]

2 Graveyard

I honestly don't know why I'm following a cat. I feel anxious to see where this cat is taking me. If its taking me anywhere.

The cat looks back at me and it seems to nod to itself and continued walking with one paw in front of the other.

Once I see the graveyard around the corner I stop in my tracks remembering the rest of that riddle.

Don't be afraid of little graves, just behave.

I took a deep breath and walked up to the cemetery gate. There was a chain and lock keeping it shut.

They probably didn't want any stupid kids coming in here.

I got the key out of my pocket unlocking the gate making it creak eerily.

Meow.

The black cat circles around my legs brushing its head against me.

snap!

I looked up quickly only to see the dark figure again, standing in the distance.

"Who are you!?" I yelled.

The thing started to back away slowly. Without thinking I started sprinting after it.

It lead me towards a giant corn field, where I sadly lost it. I wasn't going in there though, I'm not stupid.

My phone vibrated in my pocket, signalling me about a text.

I said to behave!

Now isn't this quite sad, that because you were bad you've made the others mad...

Purple wigs and black nails, once you've seen this it's time to bail.

Now please don't wail and please don't shout, just grab a pail to shut the light out.

I came so close to dropping my phone after reading the message, but this time I have a better understanding on how to interpret these.

Purple wig, black nails? I can only assume it'd be for a costume or something, but why would I have to run?

I walked back towards a random neighborhood and scanned across the many trick-or-treaters, not coming across a purple wig, or black nails. My phone vibrated again making me jump. It was a text from Laura.

How are you? I'm on break right now & I'm pretty sure I'm in the lead for the best costume :)

Finally some normality to this situation. I was about to respond back but I accidentally tapped the picture she sent me earlier.

Purple wigs and black nails...

Oh no

I went back to the riddle on my phone to read the second part again.

Now please don't wail and please don't shout, just grab a pail to shut the light out.

"No!" I call Laura right away and started sprinting to the Chinese restaurant she works at. "Pick up!"

I was about to cross the street but a fire truck went zooming by.

Don't turn right, please don't turn right.

I picked up my pace as I seen the fire truck quickly turning right.
