That One Night..
?Happy Halloween!? I screamed out shamelessly, the second I stepped out of my pale pink house?s door. I had a cheerful smile on my face, that slowly dispersed into nothingness. No one responded. All I heard, were the crickets cries. Quickly, my instincts shot up as I raised my arm to see the time. Oh. It was only 12am. I must?ve woken up everyone.
However, my mistake did not alter anything in my mood. I was still ready and full on excited for tonight?s Halloween event. Candy. Who doesn?t like candy? As my footsteps clanked along the brick pavement, I spotted ears. Bunny ears. And a lot of them. One.. two.. three.. four. Their colors, however, gave away who they were. It was Coco, O?Hare, Tiffany and of course, Carmen. A big smile crawled on my face as I ran up to them, trying my best not to step on flowers. ?Coco! Carmen!? The ears twitched and faced towards my direction. The massiveness of the trees still hid their looks, so there was no way they knew who I was. Suddenly, our faces met, and I could see that even they, were cheerful despite the fact of today?s event. ?Mayor Megu!? they all screamed out towards me in one voice. ?Ready for tonight?? I stared at the hollow-eyed, the top hat, the fashionable, and the smiley rabbits. ?Of course we are!?
I looked at myself in the mirror. Yes. This was definitely creepy. I wore a bloody blue dress, and wrapped my face up with some bandages only to leave one eye open, giving it that mummy look. I also took my tree axe; it could work right? To scare people. My eyes shot up to my watch. 7pm. Perfect! I skipped to the outside world out of my house, but as I stepped out, a scream had left me standing. Definitely a female scream but whose? I ran towards the direction of the noise, hoping that my ears aren?t playing tricks on me. After all, they were covered by three layers of a bandage. After good three minutes of running, I finally reached the destination of all the commotion. And as I slowly paced towards, there I saw it. Flowers, white, pink, blue, now dyed in red substance. The pavement, was too, not left clean. And as my eyes finally reached to the ace of this, I saw her. Her. Francine. There she layed, motionless, lifeless with her own blood wrapping her below. I shot up a hand towards my mouth to cover myself from screaming and scaring the rest of my nine villagers that witnessed this. Isabelle was there too, speechless. What should I say now? It?s my mayorly job to calm the rest of my citizens. ?U-Um.. Please calm down. This is a play that we created to trick you all.. Yeah! It?s a play! Isn?t Francine good at it?.. However, I?d love it if you all went back to your houses or went out of town for trick-or-treating. Thank you!? The citizens stared at me with wide eyes. It stabbed me to lie to them, but it definitely put them reassured. They laughed, and like a swarm of bees, dispersed back to their beehives. Isabelle, however, could see through me. She knew that even I wasn?t aware of who could put up such an event. ?M-Mayor.. Is this?..? I swallowed my own fear. As I kneeled down towards Francine?s now red skin, I noticed something laying on her forehead. A note. I hesitated to take it, but I did. Curiosity killed a cat. I wriggled it around and opened it up. ?Jack? was all it included. He?s her killer. And he is not hiding it. Another scream was released right behind me. I shot up to turn around and saw our snooty rabbit Francine. ?Oh. My. Gosh! Who had done this? Is that me? I think I?m losing breath, please, water.?Francine spoke and fanned herself with her short hands. ?M-Mayor! This is why I hate Halloween! I?m always the one picked out to be dead. Ugh! Whatever!? I was still dumbstruck, I didn?t speak, I didn?t know what to say. But one thing I knew. As Francine?s steps walked out of my sight, she gave me a faint side look. Her eyes gleamed of red, and her smile.. her smile was as wicked as Halloween was.
Loved it !
