Hello [#username],
Beneath sky pitch black and moon full bright
Lurks terror twice as dark as night.
Grisly death it brings the brave;
the cowardly will rant and rave.
Halloween is a time for fright,
But madness stalks the gloom of ...
PRANK NIGHT
Ahhh, Halloween. The classic holiday were you get to be something else, watch movies that scare you and pull pranks to scare others with out having to worry about being seen as mean. There are so many challenges one could challenge you with when dealing with Halloween. How dose one pick?

Year: 1921
Maria was lounging on the bed of the hotel suite for a moment enjoying the moment. Still, she was unsatisfied. While not new to this life, she was still young and her thirst for more forever burned her. Sighing she moved to sit up and gracefully left the bed. Perhaps one more? She keep trying to hold back, try to turn one but had yet to manage not to drain the mouth watering men she found. Stepping over the large male on the floor she knew she needed to discard of the body. Picking up the karosine lamp by the bed she walked to the door, and then tossed it at the body, the fire from the lamp quickly turning into flames.
Maria didn't have to move quickly to avoid being seen by human's slow eyes. Just her normal silent speed. She moved to the streets in his Texas town. She had not been this far north before but she loved this town already. It had a high crime rate, mass people, and allot of men. She wanted to claim it as soon as she could start turning these men into her army and---What the devil was that?
Maria watched as a small creature that appeared to be a human wearing some costume to make it appear like a rather large bat. The creature was small, and being followed by giggling adults. Oh odd, how utterly humanly odd. No sooner had they passed and Maria turned to find her next meal then she saw more of these little creatures and adults. Many many snack sized humans dressed as everything you could imagine carrying bags of something that must be worth it's wait in gold for how they were clutching the bags, and all followed by at lest two adults who were speaking of how 'cute' this was. Different parts of different conversations caught her ears, as she tried to figure out what was going on;
--'Oh how cute he is!'
-----'I am so afraid he will get lost-'
--'-Night of pure mischief!'
---------'--anything could happen to her on this night-'
-'Trick Or Treat!'
-----'--then the devil comes out in men, every night on this year-'
--'--Good Lord! Is that hotel on fire?!'
Maria heard that last comment and moved deeper in the swirl of creature children and the adults clinging to them. Like the mindless humans they were they stopped to watch the hotel burn and the humans running out in fear. She moved like a ghost quick though the crowd and down the street which was growing less crowded.
So on this night, every year the humans . . . .what were they doing, she wasn't sure but it suited her. The came in in mass numbers and some went missing. This would suit her wondrously. This city had to be hers! This was here she belonged! It was time, time to build her army, and clear out the small local coven of three who claimed to own the town.
Maria was walking down the street, which was empty now in thoughts of her plans when a scent caught her. Looking up she was four men walking closer, very strong looking men. Maria let her eyes go wide and she turned down and ally way before slowing her walk. Sure enough they followed, making rude calls and drunken laughs. 'Come little girl, want to have some fun?'
Maria turned slowly to stare at the men, a small smile on her lips. What if, she lead them away, bit the three and drank the one? Could that allow her to turn a man for the first time? Had she found the key? "Why, yes." Maria said as if they were offering her piles of gold, "I would love to have some fun."

Challenge Twenty-Six: All Hallows EveAro is unaware of the tradition of trick or treat.
Halloween in Italy
Year: 2030Unusual Customs
Aro barely ever paid attention to the humans. There was really no need to. However, during that past few decades it seemed things were changing ever so slightly. Aro knew about All Hallows Eve and the story behind such a day. All Saint's Day had been an attempt to replace a pagan holiday according to the humans. Aro was well informed about history after all he had lived through it. He knew much about their traditions even those that did not originate in Italy. This holiday had originate in Ireland Aro knew of a few vampires. A small coven reside there Liam, Maggie, and Siobhan two of which had talents. They could be of use to the Volturi, but there were not talents Aro desperately wanted. Those were in America, however, Aro craved. Alice, Bella, and Edward such wonderful talents! What Aro would give to have them within his guard. Of course it would take more time to figure out how to gains such talents. Aro had time he could wait and be patient. Wait for the right opportunity.
Aro was aware that the day was October thirty first All Hallows Eve. Italy was truly not known for celebrating Halloween as so many seemed to call this day. So many names have been passed to this very day all relating the Celts new year. It was rather strange some of the most modern traditions. Aro did not pay to much attention to them after all they were not that involved in Italy. Over the decades they have slowly begun to form, but they were still a bit away from accepting such traditions as Aro had learned of them. It wasn't as if it was a threat to expose their existence. As long as humans continued to remain oblivious to their existence Aro would be content with allowing them to do whatever they like. Aro would make sure the secret was kept that was of the utmost importance.
Aro was curious as he picked up the scent of several humans. It was not to abnormal to have humans inside the castle, but it seemed to be many were coming and going quickly. Aro could easily pick up the voices of humans saying 'trick or treat'. Aro was uncertain why they were saying this, but he would find out. Aro walked at a slow human pace being around humans it was necessary. They could never risk any exposure. All the guards knew this and were certain to seem human when there were humans around. Aro looked at the newest secretary, Carina, she had been her for a few months maybe a year. She was proving to be quiet useful and did her job dutifully. Just as all the previous human secretaries they had. Once they were no longer of use to them they were simply there to sustain them. It was easy to find others. The only reason they kept a human was to ease the humans to make them less suspicious.
Aro watched as Carina gave the children candy each time they came up to her and said 'trick or treat'. While that was strange enough they were dressed up in different outfits. Aro had heard of Dracula even read it. The ideas humans come up with it is very amusing. But what made him dwell on such thoughts was this young human who was dressed in what would be a so called vampire. Humans had the most ridiculous ideas at times. Of course it was the Volturi who had put some ideas in their head. They would believe anything and that made everything that much easier. The child looked over at Aro with a smile making taking a few steps toward him. Aro was curious what this human could possibly want. "What are you dressed up as?" The questioned confused Aro why would he be dressed up? Aro looked at who must have been the child's parent. The human seemed quite startled looking at Aro and quickly grabbed the child and exited the castle. The human was wise to do so.
"Carina, my dear." Aro looked at Carina as the last of the humans left for the time being. "What is going on?" The humans seemed a bit strange today or perhaps this was something new for them. Carina looked at Aro immediately she was still new to this job it would take her time to get use to looking at vampires let alone talking to them. She seemed most nervous around the leaders. "It's Halloween, sir, a new tradition in Italy. Kids will dress up and go door to door for candy."
[/i] Aro simply nodded at her answer. It was rather interesting to find out what the humans were doing. It was rather strange and unusual. But Aro would not focus on it for to long. After all he had so much more to focus on rather than Halloween and humans. They could do what they want. Aro needed to focus on gaining power more precisely the Cullen's. He wanted their talents. There was other talents that would allow the Volturi to seem more powerful he was certain of that. [/color][/blockquote] |
