Deep in the ancient, petrified forest lies an old, forgotten town, where the inhabitants long ago disappeared, never to be heard from again. Its beautiful little buildings now sit in a sense of sadness and disrepair, their windows broken, their doors boarded up, the rooms inside long-since emptied. The church that sat near the edge of town has suffered the worst, with a roof that has caved in with a gaping hole in the middle, its pews inside rotted away to barely anything, the candlesticks and stained glass gone. Even the gravestones, left unattended, have fallen down and crumbled amongst each other, the statues and memorials overgrown with wild vines and ivy, wingless angels fallen to lie in pieces on the withered grass among the weeds.

At the edge of the town lies an old theatre, which has sat abandoned for even longer than the town itself. It is rumored that the reason the townspeople left was because of the theatre, that strange things had started happening inside that place. Many people that went roaming its halls never returned, and with no trace of their whereabouts, it wasn’t long before it was common thought that the theatre was haunted by an unkind spirit. When traces of human remains were found when a manager of the theatre went missing and a search team was organized to find him, these rumors were confirmed. The building went through several more changes in ownership, with strange sightings of bizarre creatures and unexplainable things happening--lights would malfunction, backdrops would fall, items would disappear, strange figures would appear in a crowd, but no one would recognize them, then would be gone again in a flash...

Strange things like that drive people to board up buildings and leave them be.

But now, decades later, the town is vacant, as though the occupants had gotten up and left in a hurry--or simply disappeared into the night.

There is another rumor--a rumor of a creature that sleeps all year save for one night, when it wakes to feed, to slake its gluttony. This creature awakens on the night of a full moon in autumn, with eyes the color of night and claws of black silver, long teeth and animal-like speed, capable of chasing a full-grown human down from across a wheat field. It is believed that there is strength in numbers, that the creature will not hunt an entire pack by itself, that it will pick the one standing off on its own. What it feeds on is unsure. How many of them exist is unknown. Their name is a whisper, uttered only in the most serious of situations, on the darkest of nights. It is called Halloween.

It is rumored that the Halloween lives in the abandoned theatre, through the petrified forest, past the abandoned town, and that it still slips out, past the ancient boards, slipping out the windows, to feed...

It is on just this sort of night... That people caught wandering alone do not return home...

But there are few enough people now in the world, in small, isolated towns, afraid to leave their homes after dark... Something must be done about these creatures that threaten the very survival of us all.

What do you say? Will you be a hero and save us?

The full moon was rising, the petite figure making their way hesitantly from house to house, knocking on the doors, calling feebly for help, for someone to open up, small trembling hands placed to shallow gashes along the figures sides, trying to stem the bleeding as bright blue eyes filled with tears, the thin voice letting out a choked sob as he staggered to another house, jumping nearly out of his flesh when a trashbin down the lane was knocked over. But the petite blonde didn't dare turn to look, frzen in terror where he stood, tears filling his eyes as he tried to think of anything, anything but the almost inaudible sounds of footsteps approaching, the soft breathing in the crisp autumn air, making the hair on his neck stand on end, the young boy's dirt-smudged face becoming runny with thick tears that fell despite how he willed them to stop.

His bright blue eyes closed tightly as he let out the tiniest of sobs. 'This is the end...' he thought to himself. 'I escape, only to be captured again...'

OOC: If you want to jump in and like... save him, that's acceptable... or you can leave him to be monster food... or you can just make it yur character sneaking up on him and not a Halloween... ^^;;;

She had heard the rumors. Memorized the stories. Laughed at the scared boys in her town as the took dares standing with their backs to woods on a full moon. “Nonsense.” She had scolded to them. The boys always gave her a hard time. She was one of the few girls in town that was,.. Real. Or so she thought. It was nothing new, nothing out of the ordinary. Riiight.

Waist length raven black hair danced around her figure on this night, it was quiet as always. The village people already tucking their children in tightly only to whisper stories of the town beyond the petrified wood. Eyes would widen as parents spoke of what had supposedly happened. She didn’t believe this though. She was different. No one really cared what she thought anyways.

She had long lost the interest in the stories now, knowing they were nonsense. She had walked through the woods every full moon she could. Nothing ever happened to her. She sometimes wished they would take her.

A fire roared to life in the fireplace, it was warm and cozy as to the night was crisp and cool. A smile graced her lips and she sighed, violet eyes as dark as velvet. A crash beyond her window caused her to jump from the book she had been reading. ‘What in the name of the moon!’ Hurrying to the door she paused , debating whether or not to open it.

Footsteps and harsh breathing were just outside her door. ‘What the hell.’ Claudia opened the door and her jaw dropped at the sight of teary eyed male. She was only 5’3” and was as petite as he was. “What happened…” She heard the footsteps now and hurried him inside, locking to door behind her.

The young boy trembled violently as e was hurriedly brought into a building--the first that had actually opened its door to someone after the sun had gone down. All he could manage was a pained whimper as he gently pulled his hands away from his side where his fingers had almost completely stopped the bleeding, though it had run down his sides and ruined his torn trousers, his shirt long gone, his feet bare and shredded, as though he had run a very long way with no shoes on.

After a few moments of only making pitiful little mewling sounds, he managed to cry, "Attacked..." before he burst into sobs, his arms now more hugging himself than trying to control the bleeding, tears falling from his eyes even as he tried to stop them, to show he was brave, but right now, he was just a frightened little boy.

Dayna stumbled through the darkness of the streets, her breath smelling of achohal. The gears in her head were slow prossessing information she just couldnt put a finger on. Her feet refusing to carry her strait in her drunk haze slipped from under her sending her face down into someones lawn. The dampness of the grass soaked into the fabric of her jeans. Dayna pulled her self onto all fours but looked confused as to what to do next. She looked up into the darkness of the area.
"eh? This isnt my street?" She slurred.
When she finally got up onto her knees she squinted into the darkness to see a faint triangle of light spread onto the grass then disapear.
"What the-?" she giggled.

by **HalloweenNumber1** on Sat Jun 28, 2008 11:26 am

From the darkness behind Dayna, a soft voice whispered, almost purring with each word as it said, "Nice night for a drunken stumble, I see..."

by **Valintine** on Sat Jun 28, 2008 12:04 pm

Th-thump, th-thump, th-thump.

Dayna's heart was pounding wildy, she couls hear it loudly in her ears. The voice behind her slide over her skin like thick oil. un-shininh and dark...

Th-thump,th-thump, th-thump

Her eyes wide her face paled she really didnt want to die.
"oh sweet earth, why?!" she repeated. Chanted in her mind.
Her green eyes saw a low hanging roof on the house the lawn belonged to. She clamped her jaw tighted, twisted her sizable hands into fists and ran. She ran for the low roof. Her long legs taking big strides towards it. Her messanger boy bag slapping against her hip.
"run like my sister, run like her!" Dayna urged her slef

Th-thump.........th-thump.........th-thump

She had a plan, it was crazy but why die laying down. It all seemed like it was moving in slow motion like she would never reach the rook. It seemed like it was all happing in hours...

The dark, oily voice gave a strangely echoing sort of chuckle, almost as if there were others laughing with him, a dark, lithe figure easily catching up to its new prey, always within striking distance, should this game of cat and mouse become tiresome, or should she actually make an attempt to escape.

It did not see the tall figure that leapt down from another building, running with fast, long strides towards the creature's would-be victim, shouting, "Run! Run to water! Get away!"

by **Valintine** on Sat Jun 28, 2008 12:51 pm

Dayna's legs pumped furiosy as the--the things laughted in their amusemnt. She could feel the thick breath on her back. she some shout for her to run to water. It disrupted her thought process of "run, like a bat outta h*ll". her drunken legs stumbled under her. Thoguh her mind was sobbering up fast her body wasnt doing the same. Her wide mossy green eyes swivel around to gaze over her shoulder. It felt like her heart stopped. Dayna pushed her self up onto her feet and sprinted closer to the overhang. The voices warning told her to go to water but she didnt know where that would be...
"closer just a little farther..." She urged in her mind.
The front of the house was only yards away from her. So close she could taste it.

by **HalloweenNumber1** on Sat Jun 28, 2008 1:00 pm

Strong gloved hands grabbed Dayna by the arms, pulling her roughyl out of the creature's path, just as it pounced, pulling her quickly down the road before the thing could whirl and pounce on them. Nearly dragging her, the tall figure brought an arm tightly around heR, lifting her clear off the ground, sprinting with an almost insane speed, the wind rushing past. "Stupid! Stupid girl!" the voice shouted as the figure ran, a long cloak fluttering behind as athletic legs tried to increase the distance between them and the now raging creature, which let out a loud bellow in anger as it took pursuit. "Shouldn't be out!" the voice shouted, though there was a slight twinge of panic when whoever it was glanced back and saw the creature was gaining, running on all fours.

Cursing, the figure adjusted their grip on Dayna, lifting her into strong arms as they pushed off the ground--and quickly rose above the rooftops of the houses, just barely missing being yanked back down when the creature leapt for them, snarling and snapping as its claws barely missed the figure's feet.

by **Valintine** on Sat Jun 28, 2008 1:11 pm

Her breath caught in her through as she felt herself being tugged by the arm and off her feet.
Wuh! She thought it was one of them but it wasnt. Though her heart beats still were fast they were comforted alittle by the presence of someone else. Who? She didnt know but it all seem very surreal to her. One moment she was running for her life next someone else is running for both of their. She heard the raging cry of the beast. It sent shivers down her spine and a cold sweat to dampen her dark sandy hair. After amoment she realized they were on the rooftops. She let out a small exasperated giggle.

by **HalloweenNumber1** on Sat Jun 28, 2008 1:20 pm

The moment the figure's feet touched the rooftop of a two-story home, they were off and running again, leaping high and far from rooftop to rooftop, cursing when another backward glance revealed that there was, indeed, more than one dark, shadowy creature following--three, in fact, and two of them were gaining speed as they tore across the shingled roofs towards them.

Panting heavily, the figure leat into the sky again, giant wings spreading and pumping hard, trying to gain altitude, just as two of the creatures jumped. One grabbed the figure's leg, its claws raking down and tearing flesh and fabric as it went, before falling down to the ground. The second dug its claws heavily into one wing, an audible crack ringing through the air as the figure stiffened, a gasp resonating as the world seemed to almost still as their ascent slowly, but surely, became a descent, the ground rushing to meet them, even as the figure tried to slow their fall, hitting the ground running as they gritted their teeth in exctuciating agony, making a dash for a door that the figure had seen open, a heavy fist slamming into the wood of it as the creatures slowly began to circle, closing in on their prey--not one now, but two. Possibly more if they moved fast enough and the door opened...

by **Valintine** on Sat Jun 28, 2008 1:30 pm

Dayna gasped as she saw wings sprout free from the figures back and they were in the air. But only for breid moments before to of the beasts jumped one for the wing another for the persons leg. She cringed at the sound of tearing flesh and skin. Now she could feel the air whistle past her and they both fell to the ground. THe figure fell running. Guilt twisted in her gut. It was her own fault that this happened. In moments they were on aporch and the figure was banging upon a door.
"set me down, dont ask just do it" Dayna breathed barly above a whisper.

by **HalloweenNumber1** on Sat Jun 28, 2008 1:35 pm

Without a word, the figure set Dayna down, gasping in pain as the broken wing was shifted slightly from where it had slowly folded back to press tightly against the figure's back. Tears sprang freely into mismatched eyes as the figure felt their whole body begin to throb hard with each fast heartbeat.

Claudia jumped at the sudden pounding on her door. “What in the world was going on out there tonight.” Tearing her eyes from the bleeding boy she ran for the door. It hit her then. The energy swarming around her house. She threw the door open and yanked the two people inside.

She thrust her hand outward and concentrated as the animals stalking the victims at her door were all thrust back into the nights darkness, it swallowed them whole. She backed into the house, closing the door only to lock it quickly.

Her breaths were ragged, and now it was evident why, she had not used her abilities since the first night she had been attacked. Ever since then they left her alone, didn’t bother with her. For a while she had thought she had imagined it, but now.. She had no choice but to believe they were real.

“There is a first aid kit to your left.” Her voice was soft and gentle, deceiving the power she had displayed. The goose bumps still ran up and down her spine from the use of her energy at such a rapid and harsh place. Her hair swept around her body, hiding her face from them all. “You are safe for the night. I am Claudia. My home is your home.” (OOC. I am about to lose internet for a bit…I will check on this when I can. Sorry.. I like this story too!!!! -= pouts=- )

by **HalloweenNumber1** on Sat Jun 28, 2008 1:45 pm

The cloaked figure stumbled inside, the light in the room revealing dark, anceint-looking clothes, a tattered and torn cloak draped around the figure's shoulders, long pin-straight hair falling in sheets downt he figure's back, appearing a strange midnight blue color, though the bangs surrounding the face sported a deep red color. The face was hidden by a thick black mask, with only two holes cut for the mismatched eyes and a section cut out around the chin for the mouth, which was gasping for breath as a gloved hand reached up to the broken wing, long fingers running gently over the feathers to assess the damage, tears springing into those eyes again when the figure found the break, though it was a clean one, easy to mend, though very painful when moved.

After a moment of catching the figure's breath, they stood, nodding their head slightly as the figure's voice hoarsely croaked, "Pharony... Guardian of your world... At your... service..."

As the figure straightened slowly, the light revealed something of a feminine touch--the figure dressed all in black and a mask was a woman.

by **Valintine** on Sat Jun 28, 2008 1:46 pm

As they both were ushered into the house by a petite women. Dayna nodded to her before of her messenger boy bag. She turned to acess the damage of the figure in the light. she listened as the figure spoke. Dayna kneeled next to her and said.
"um role up your pant leg or take them off" she gently ordered. as she pulled a peice of cloth out of her pack and then a small bottle.
"Ma'am do you have a bath tub?" she asked.
Those who questions may have been kind of akward but they were nessacrary since she was a doctor of sorts and the scent of the blood could easly draw the beasts back.

Age: 20
Weapons: 2 revolvers, custom built for killing anything living or not. A sword that was cooled in holy water. Advanced martial arts skills. Bombs activated by snapping his fingers.

by **HalloweenNumber1** on Sat Jun 28, 2008 9:14 pm

There was a soft hiss from the shadows, a dangerously low voice purring, "It's unsafe to travel after dark... Especially alone..."
