with a thunderous roar, "WHO GOES THERE??" is bellowed from beyond the door. a tall wolf steps out from the darkened hall, draped in red roses and a gown fit for a ball. she narrows her eyes at you but with a smirk and a wink, she hands you many candies of blue and of pink. "you seem quite worthy but dont be misled, hang around here for too long and it's OFF WITH YOUR HEAD!"
you've been treated! but be careful, the queen doesn't like any stragglers! happy halloween <3
a small scattering of paws could be heard from beyond the door, dusted with fake cobwebs and plastic spiders galore. The door creaked open to reveal not a fright, but a small tiger cub to bless your sight. "woah! i wuv your costume!" the toothy cub gabbed whilst putting pawfuls of candy straight into your bag. with a grin full of glee she waved you farewell, into the night where a full moon dwelled.
you've been treated! and this lil cub couldn't be happier to help you out! happy halloween! <3the door creaks open and from the abyss, an egg comes flying towards your face only to miss. you look around in terror but at your feet you see, a plump but fat rat carrying three. two in each paw and one for good luck, you scurry away before you're covered in wretched muck.
you've been tricked!
story: maye studied her costume in the mirror, tugging on a lock of the already frizzing wiry red wig that she'd tugged out of the dress up box, buried deep in the confines of the loft 364 days of the year only to be lugged out in a frenzy on halloween night so she and her younger sister abbey could get out to trick or treat as soon as possible. maye loved halloween..no, she adored halloween. she would spend every single day, of every single year counting down the days to her favourite holiday and once it finally arrived (which feels like a century to maye), she starts counting down to it again the very second its over. this year she'd finally finished crafting her dream outfit and was going as her beloved favourite character, sally from her favourite movie, the nightmare before christmas.
"mayeeeeee!" a shrill voice cut through the air from downstairs, snapping maye out of her trance state, "mayeeeee, come onnnnnnnnn!!" it whined again. the voice belonged to abbey, who was slumped on the floor at the bottom of the stairs with her bottom lip quivering, sporting a plethora of pastel colours and sparkles sewn together in the shape of a unicorn costume. "mum said if we dont leave now all of the best sweets from all of the best houses will be goneeee" she cried, scowling at her sister as she emerged at the top of the stairwell, "okay abs okayyy, give me a minute you big baby" maye replied, rolling her eyes and skipping down the stairs two by two. maye grabbed the two cauldron shaped buckets that were perched near the front door ready to be greeted with plenty of treats and goodies, her and her sister's coats, said goodbye to their mother and the pair finally set off out of the door into the biting autumn breeze.
"you get first pick abs, which house is catching your eye?" maye said to her sister, who was dragging her hoof-covered paws along the cobbled pathway they were taking through their little village. maye, on the other hand, had her tail wagging and head held firmly in the air. she admired and gaped at every trick or treater they walked past and ever house no matter how few that had its wondrous decorations on display. "hmmmmm, im not sure...half of our streets lights are turned off and my friend casey said that mrs rattsenburg was only giving out apples this year" the small pup replied, shivering at the very thought of being gifted fruit in replacement for chocolate or gummies. the older pup giggled at the younger, gazing around the town of houses trying to make her own pick. her sister did have a point though, half of the house's were in complete pitch black or decoration-less. well, that's how it seemed until a particular house down one of the small cobbled road's caught maye's eye. "come on abby, this way!" she said gesturing toward the house with her paw before sprinting towards it herself, leaving the pup to run as fast as her little legs could carry her to keep up.
maye finally approached the house, a large grin snaked it's way onto her face through the heaving and huffing and puffing of her trying to catch her breath. she knocked on the door, put on her best puppy dog eye's expression she could and loudly exclaimed...
