Story for the Mako on Halloween Night

He spends his night with his two bestfriends, Candie and Dysis

Every Halloween, if you walk along the main river, a glow will appear. This glow tells you her name, Dysis. She will ask you a simple question, "Am I a monster?" if you respond with no, she will let you go. If you say yes, she will kill you as her pack did to her.

Two years ago, Kellin was walking along that very river. Alone, lost, and terrified on Halloween Night. His mischievous friend Candie had run off as a 'prank', not a very fun one in his opinion. A faint mist had started swallowing him, his breath was knocked out of him and he was paralyzed. A wolf appeared in front of him, desolated towns twisting form her paws and an Erie moon shining from her side. The glow seemed to be pouring from the crown atop her head. Her voice sent chills down his spine.

"Am I a monster?"

Taken back, Hollow didn't know what to say. Was she a ghost? a regular wolf? certainly she wasn't like him, or his feline friend Candie.

"N-no" he choked out, straightening his shoulders to appear confident.

"I think you're beautiful" and he did, something about the strange creature in front of him was alluring. The calm and collected ghostly figure seemed taken back, her eyes widened and the mist faltered, then cleared all together.

"What?" her voice full of confusion. Not once in her short life as a living wolf had she been called beautiful. After all, she was murdered for her Omega status.

"I've never seen anyone like you" she spoke in a softer tone. "My name is Dysis, and for all 500 years of my haunting death no one has ever said I was beautiful"

"Times have changed, Dysis. After all, have you ever seen someone like me?" Kellin smirked, flaunting his striped shark-like tail.

"500 years ago you would have been killed" Dysis broke into a smile, the first in a very long time. Her crown split, falling onto the ground in two pieces.

Kellin chuckled, taking a step closer to her. "Would you join me for this Halloween night?"

"You have given me my freedom, you strange boy. I will join you for every Halloween night" she smiled, and walked alongside him. A strange, small furry creature popped out in front of them screaming. "Is that a rat?"

"It's a cat" He laughed seeing Candie's disgusted face. "That's Candie, I'm Kellin"

"A RAT?!" She screamed. "I'm the finest breed of feline" she flicked her tail, poshly turning her head.

"Be nice, Candie. This is Dysis, she's..." his voice trailed.

"Dysis, I used to haunt this river every Halloween. I was killed here by my own pack, deemed as an Omega for my strange coloring. 500 years have changed a lot of things, and I see I will be welcomed here" she smiled, looking down at the frisky feline who's markings matched that of Kellins.

"So, like, you're a ghost?" Candie looked up, head tilted in confusion. She thought ghosts were made up to scare Kellin.

"Yes, every Halloween I manifest. The crown tied me to this river, but Kel's kindness had broken the bond. I am free" she explained, a pained and saddened expression crossed her face.

"What will happen when Halloween ends?" Kel looked to her, panic filling his voice.

"Things will go black again. The light will not come again until Halloween" she sighed, her ears flattened against her head.

"Well then, we'll do our best to make every Halloween the best!" Candie exclaimed. "Wait, what's happening?"

"The sun is rising, doe that mean..?" Kellin's voice dropped, seeing the beauty slowly fade away.

"Thank you" she smiled, tears of happiness falling from her reddened eyes.

"Will I see you again?" he shouted, almost running after the faint glow.

"The crown, next Halloween" the voice echoed as she disappeared from sight.

"Until then, Dyis" he spoke sorrowfully, walking towards the broken crown. He picked it up, placing it gently in his trick-or-treating pillow case.

"You'll see your little girlfriend again, don't be so glum!" Candie smirked, walking towards their hometown. "After all, if it wasn't for my hilarious prank you wouldn't have met her"

"Oh shut up, ratty" he pawed her playfully, running off as she hissed and chased him down.

and that's the story of how the tricky Halloween trio came together for the first time. Now, every Halloween, the two unlikely friends travel the world to show their ghostly companion the changes in the world.

Though the idea is nice, I've seen it before with one of the Japanese Horror stories, can't remember which one. You did twist it a bit though, and that's cute. =w=

Story for the Mako on Halloween Night;

Nights for him are normally average but Halloween nights are always different and unique every year.
Nonetheless, Kyan enjoys each Halloween night and takes the scares quite well.

Today was a cold, windy night. The leaves swirling in the middle of the road and sidewalks and seemed to whiz by him.
The sidewalk was cold as he walked on it, crunching leaves beneath him with every step.
He had a pillowcase in his mouth and was looking at every house with it's lights on.
His tail swayed back and forth behind him slowly as he approached a unusual looking house.

He had never seen this house on the block before and he would know since he lived in the neighborhood for quite some time now.
He had a few pieces of candy in his pillowcase but not much as there wasn't many houses there.
Approaching the house, stared at the window and when he did, a something or someone disappeared from it from inside when he looked.
He didn't feel too good about this house but he didn't allow it to scare him.
Gently putting his bag on the ground, he slowly walked up the steps.
When his hind paw stepped on the last step, the board itself broke.
Luckily, he was quick enough so his paw didn't touch whatever might have been under there.
He didn't dare look in case something would jump out at him.

Putting a gentle paw on the door, he carefully pushed it open and poked his head inside.
He could see nothing but darkness and he suddenly felt uneasy.
Shaking the feeling off, he noticed a light source right next to him.

That's funny... I would have noticed that lantern before.. Where did it come from?

He pondered and of course, he picked it up and when he did, a faint menacing laugh came from a room with it's door half opened. Shivers ran down his spine to the tip of his tail as he gulped and put a single paw backward.
All of a sudden, something shoved him from behind, knocking him right into the creaky and scary house and slammed the door behind him.
Kyan got up shakily and turned to open the door with the lantern still in his mouth.
Of course, the door was locked and didn't surprise him but made him more frightened as he was trapped.

No, I am not trapped. There is a way out even if it is hidden.

He said to himself to ease his troubled mind.
Kyan ventured into the room where the laugh came from and to his surprise, it was a rather big room.
His lantern illuminated some objects in the room.
Before he could pick up the first object in front of him, a darkened shadow moved quickly across the room with the menacing laughter he had heard from before. He exited the room along with closing the door.

A loud banging on the door sounded when he shut it.
Alarmed, he ran away from the door and hit a wall.
He rubbed his head and horns before continuing his trip to the exit.
Kyan felt as though he was going insane because normally Halloween nights have those average and not so scary tricks.
Never before had he been this scared on a Halloween night.

Shakily he made his way into what seemed like the kitchen.
The sound of plates clatter against each other startled him and he quickly hid in the pantry on the far side of the kitchen.
Yellow glowing eyes turned towards him and Kyan felt his heart beat race and his breathing increase as the figure approached him.
The figure came clear and it was only a cat causing all the noise in the kitchen.
It hissed at him before running off.

Now... There should be a back door around here somewhere.."

He thought as he nervously searched for an exit.
He finally found it when he noticed a hundred pair of eyes staring behind him.
Slowly he nervously turned his head and his anxiety overwhelmed him and he bashed into the door, breaking it open and ran around the house and down the street.

All the eyes revealed themselves at the front door of the house and it was a bunch of Makoatl's who played a prank on Kyan.
They all laughed and since the night neared towards the end, they began to clean up their house.

But what about Kyan's candy? Oh no! He forgot his candy!

Though an interesting read, there wasn't too much original material within the story and I would have loved if more of the mako's personality was shown.

Theme Song: This is Halloween by Marilyn Manson


Personality:
||Scheming||Devious||Prankster||Joker||Care-Free||
Bellatrix lives for Halloween. She loves to scare others,
all in good fun of course. It's the perfect time of year
to test out her artistic skills and to break out her love
of cosplaying (and cross-dressing). It's the one night
anyone can get away with practically anything.
Especially with scare pranks- her favourite kind of
joke. She's a great sport and if someone pranks her
back, she won't get all bent out of shape. Sometimes
oblivious to others' feelings, her jokes can be a little...
crass. She loves to plot things; never joke around her
because she might end up turning it into an all-out
prank war. She tends not to care about what the
consequences of her actions may be. She's a bit
ADHD, and she has never gotten over her trick-or-treat
phase. When she finally realized she was a bit too
old for that, she began stealing the candy instead.
In a fun way, of course. Professionally, she is a
makeup artist for movies. Her specialty is horror.
Gore all the way- this warioress does not scare easily.

█ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █
Yellow eyes gleam in the shadows,
watching and waiting. The darkness
of the night shrouds the owner of
these yellow eyes, hiding them from
everyone's sight. Rustle, rustle in
the bushes, whisper, whisper in the
trees. Who could it be, who could it be?
█ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █
Kids trot merrily down the lane, clueless.
The yellow eyes follow them where ever
they go. The sounds of lip-licking
suddenly come softly through the
darkness. Some of the older children
bring the younger ones 'round to tell
the tale.
█ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █
"Every Halloween is a new night of
terrors for the creatures of the night.
The witches and ghouls and vampires
all come out to play. This is why you
have to dress up. If you don't hide then
they will find you... hunt you down...
and eat you!"
█ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █
"Don't believe me? Then listen close.
Twas not long ago that another happy
trick-or-treater just like yourselves
was walking down this very road one
Halloween night. It was getting close to
midnight and all the houses were shut."
"Thinking it safe to take off her mask,
she took off her zombie costume and
continued down the road... When
suddenly..."
█ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █
"The streetlamps flickered out.
She could barely see, and all she
could hear was this loud panting.
She called out. "Hello? Who's there?"
But nobody answered, and the
panting just got louder... and louder..
and louder, until it was too late!"
"Another Mako came up, but something
about him was horribly wrong... He
was a real, undead zombie!"
█ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █
The eyes in the darkness narrow with
anticipation as some of the smaller
children squeal with fright, but the
story is not over yet.
█ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █
"The Zombie points to her and yells:
"You're no zombie!" She tries to
run away but the zombie is too fast!
He catches her and says: "Dinnertime!"
... And she was never seen again."
█ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █
"Some say, that because she was eaten
by a zombie, what was left of her became
a zombie, and that every Halloween, she
roams this street, searching for other
little children that have taken off their
masks.... To eat them!"
█ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █
Upon this exclamation, one of the older
Makos jumps out of the bushes with a
roar, making the smaller kids run away
screaming in terror. The older kids laugh,
and pull off their masks.
█ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █
The yellow eyes zero in, and out of the
darkness protrudes a smile. It is time.
"Hey... d-did you hear that?"
Rustle, rustle, rustle, rustling in the bushes.
"We took of our masks...!"
█ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █
As they look to each other in horror, the
yellow eyes spring from the darkness,
revealing a zombified Makoatl in all
its horrible, gory glory. With shrieks of
fear, the gang bolts in different directions,
their bags of candy scattered all over the
pavement as they disappear from sight.
The yellow eyes are revealed to be...
█ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █
A normal Mako in a very good Halloween
costume. Bellatrix scooped up the
dropped bags of loot and sprang back
into the bushes like a thief before someone
could see her, chuckling to herself as she
laid down to eat her delicious stolen treats.
Another successful Halloween scare accomplished.
█ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █

Ah the classic prank of scaring people on Halloween, however, I found most of it was too convenient? I feel like it would have been more enticing if the Mako were to be the one telling the story or leading them along before scaring them. I just find the the 'jumping out of bushes' prank a little outdated for its time.

Story for the Mako on Halloween Night: (written in third person)
Listen to this song while reading the story

Another Halloween night, and I'm walking to the cemetery. It's about 8 o'clock when I leave my house. I walk past the few lingering children and their parents. Around this time, most people have brought their children in. So the few lingering families is a bit odd. I watch as they go running up to house after house, laughing and chatting about how much candy they are getting.
You won't be laughing when you realize how many cavities you'll end up having. I think to myself as I walk. I pull my black hood up over my head and pop my headphones in. I turn on Haunted by Evanescence. The perfect song for this type of night. I put the song on a loop and continue towards the cemetery.
I soon arrive at my destination. I smile as I come to the gate and slip through the small opening.
"This is where I belong" I think out loud. The cemetery has always given me a calming feeling whenever I was in it, ever since i was a little kid. Not sure why. I walk towards the little river that runs through the cemetery. Once reaching it, I follow it downstream to the stone bridge that passes it. Since this was not my first time being in the cemetery or being on this bridge, I went straight to it and sat on the one spot that did not have a rail. I slung my legs over the edge of it, letting the loose stones fall into the running water. Seeing as I knew that I was alone in the cemetery, I took the headphones out of my phone and played Evanescence out loud. After a while of letting the music play, I began to sing along. A couple hours passed.
"You aren't a siren, are you?" a voice behind me asked. I jumped slightly, getting startled. I turn around to see a male who looked to be the same age as me. I smiled a bit at the silly question, but now looking back on it, I can see why he asked. After all, my tail was sticking out of my clothes and moving to the beat of the music. And since my tail looks quite like a shark tail, it wasn't hard to be mistaken for a Siren's tail. I looked at the male and shook my head.
"No, I am not a Siren." I looked at my phone and paused my music.
"Well you have an amazing voice, it is easily mistakable for that of a Siren's." The male stated. "I'm Crane, Ichabod Crane." His name sounded familiar, but I could not remember for the life of me from where. So I just smiled at him and replied telling him my name.
"I'm Corrona."
"Corrona, that's a nice name. Would you like to accompany me on a walk miss Corrona?" He asked politely. I didn't understand some things about this guy. 1.) Where did he come from, I thought I was alone. 2.)Where did I know his name from. and 3.)Why was he being so nice to me. He didn't know me.
I figured that it couldn't hurt on a night like this, so I agreed. He helped me get up and we began walking. We talked about pointless things, just trying to make conversation. He asked me where I was from and what I was doing out on a night like this, so I explained to him that not many people enjoyed my company, and that I was an outcast. I had also explained about how the cemetery is calming for me. He nodded as I talked. After about a half hour of pointless wandering, he pulled me in a certain direction, saying he wanted to show me something. I just nodded and followed. After a few minutes of silence, I asked him why his name sounded so familiar. He smiled a bit and told me that I would soon understand. That made me even more confused. We continued walking, and eventually came to a quaint little house. He walked to the door and opened it, gesturing me to go in. I slowly went into the house, cautious. I had no idea what was in store for me, or what this man was going to do.
I entered the house, only to hear someone calling my name from another room. I followed the voice only to find a woman sitting at a table, next to my mother. I could not believe my eyes.
My mother had died when I was really young, and I was raised by my aunt, who didn't do a very good job at taking care of me.
"Mom?!" I choked out. I had assumed it was my mother, only because she looked like the spitting image of the female I had seen in the pictures that were left to me. She nodded and gestured for me to sit across from them at the table. I was very confused, but I sat down. Not long after, the male had joined us, carrying tea. He sat down the tray and handed each of us a cup, then sat down next to me. "What is going on?" I asked, confused and slightly scared. The ghost of my mother was sitting right in front of me.
"Darling, I am Katrina Van Tassel." the woman next to my mother said. "I am going to explain what is going on." and that is exactly what she did.
Apparently, I am the daughter of Hans Van Ripper. This is also the reason I can see my dead mother, Ichabod Crane, or the headless horseman as everyone knows him, and Katrina Van Tassel. That is why I was an outcast all my life, and why the cemetery was so calming to me.
Katrina also explained to me that there are very evil spirits that come out each night and cause havoc around the city. That is why they had to find me suddenly, also because I had just turned 18 and was able to see them now. After I found all of this out, they had told me that I was needed to fight the spirits and send them back each night. A big task to put on a girl of my age, but I accepted. Once I agreed, my mother informed me that she would not be seeing me again anytime soon as she had to head back to the grave. I frowned at that, but I knew it had to be done.
I now spend my nights fighting those spirits and sending them back to their graves. During the day I am a part time college student and live my life like any other. I live with Ichabod and Katrina now, since they aren't allowed to leave the earth, or the cemetery.

I actually had to go look up Hans Van Ripper since I didn't know who it was. However, the idea is very nice. It wasn't what I was expecting, and I rather enjoyed it.

Story for the Mako on Halloween Night:
[[Cody and Sam are made up names as his friend]]
I sat on my front porch on a cold, dark Halloween night. The wind howled as it blew straight through my bones. The crisp smell of leaves from colorful layers over my lawn flowed through the air. The only light visible was that of the street lamp at the end of the street. It was giving off a creepy glow setting me in a nervous mood. Then I finally saw a pair of headlights come over the hill approaching my house. Finally the car pulled up to my driveway. I instantly jumped into the back seat. I let out a sigh as I sunk into the soft material of the car seat. The familiar smell of leather filled my nostrils. Cody and Sam looked backed at me.

“You ready?” asked Cody excitedly.

“Lets go!” I replied enthusiastically.

Sam floored it and we sped off. This was going to be the best Halloween ever. This night was going to consist of pulling pranks on parents and scaring kids. As we were bumping over the uneven road I saw a mysterious old house on a hill I had never seen before in the thirteen years I have lived in Fort Wayne, Indiana. I told Sam to stop the car, but he had already started. All of us looked up the giant hill. We then looked at each other all with a crazy glint in our eyes. We all had the same idea. Who would be able to stay in the house the longest?

The three of us started walking up the steep hill. By the time we arrived at the rusty gate, our feet were sore and our ears were pink. Now that we were finally here, it seemed a lot bigger as the house loomed over us. It looked like it hadn’t been touched in decades. I could tell they Sam and Cody were having second thoughts now. I pushed them through the creaky door. Since we only had two flashlights I didn’t get one. We wondered around the abandoned house. Strangely there was no sound of the wind outside. I could only hear the creaking of the floorboards from the three of us. The smell of damp wood was overwhelming. Then I thought I heard a fourth step. I froze and motioned to the others to do the same. The clear, slow steady rhythm of another person’s steps echoed through the house. By this point we didn’t know what to do. We crept back to the door as silently as we could. I saw the large eyes of fear on the Sam’s and Cody’s face. I reached the door first and turned the knob. It wouldn’t budge. By then it was too late. The mysterious footsteps rounded the corner. For a moment you could hear a pin drop, then all hell broke loose. The three of us bolted different directions. As I was running I managed to catch the glimpse of my pursuer. It was a hooded large hairy man. His tattered cape flowed behind him. I could smell the rotten stench he gave off. I turned into random rooms and hallways hoping I would be able to stay out of the crazy man’s reach. As the distance was closing between us I could here him screaming, “BLOOOOD!!” At this point my mind was on an overdose of adrenaline. My mind was becoming icy. I scanned everything in front of my path, wondering what I could use to help me escape. I started to slam the doors to all the rooms I passed through. This was reminding me of the chase scenes in Scooby Doo. I was making impossible patterns going into random rooms. Finally I reached one where there was a window leading to the outside. I looked down and estimated I was about 10 feet off the ground. It was a safe jump. I suppressed my urge to scream. I landed in the pushes with a crack and thud. I brushed myself off and searched for injuries. I had a scratch on my face and had hurt my knee but at that moment I didn’t feel any pain. The only thing in my mind was to run away from the horrible place. At this point I was wondering about what happened to my friends. Was there more chasing them? Had they escaped? Since it was still dark it was still difficult to see. Then I heard a honk. This was music to my ears. I sprinted with all the energy I had left toward the noise. I spotted the car flashing its headlights. Only a couple more seconds till I reached it. I was flying down the hill. I could feel the air whistling in my ear and wind flowing through my hair. Cold beads of were falling down my face and drenching my shirt. With a final push I reached the car. I jumped in and we sped away. As the adrenaline was fading I started to realize my extreme shaking and pain throbbing though my leg. But I was safe.

Oooo, though another a tiredly used idea, you executed it very well! However, I guess my only hope was that there was more of a clue to what her friends looked like? If you ever need to find some other characters for a form, you can always go to the fanclub and put up an ad asking to use someone's mako(s).

"what are you talking about? you're never too old to trick-or-treat!"

rune found herself distraught. every year she looked forward to this one night: halloween for her
was the biggest event of the year! she loved decorating her home with ghosts and skeletons, and
buying candy to hand out to the children that came knocking at the door. she would spent hours in
the kitchen preparing ghoulish treats to present her friends with when they came over to party.
her ultimate annual achievement though was her costume. she spent months each year piecing
it together so that it would be flawless when she got to finally show it off.

there was just one part of the night that she was not particularly a fan of: haunting. despite her
love for the evening she by nature was easily frightened, and tried her best to hide the fact every
year. usually the night went just fine: she would invite her friends over and they would all dress up
and go around the neighbourhood trick-or-treating. however this year her friends apparently had
something different in mind. being 'too old to tick-or-treat' - a concept rune did not understand at all -
they had instead decided they wanted to go to the scariest haunted house in the area.

"but why can't we just stay in and watch scary movies then?"

"haunted houses only come once a year!"
"yeah we can watch movies any time."
"come on rune it's going to be so much fun."
"it has haunted mazes and stuff too!"
"you're not afraid are you?"

not just afraid, she admitted to herself--she was terrified. but determined not to let it show, she
gave in. and thus began one of the longest nights of this poor makoatl's life to date.

rune was so anxious the entire way there. evening had fallen before they had even left her house and
it was thoroughly dark by the time they arrived at the haunted site. while her friends chattered and
argued about which of the attractions they should go in first, she could feel the blood draining from her
face. when she went to pay for her admission the cashier commented on how sweaty her palms were.

"not scared already are you?"

rune stared blankly at him in response. her throat was dry and she wasn't sure that she could produce
a response if she tried anyway. she stayed silent as she followed her friends onto the grounds, warily
peering around every corner that she could see to prevent being spooked by somone jumping out and
surprising her. in their excitement none of their friends seemed to notice the aura of anguish she was
emanating.

she followed like an abandoned puppy as they entered the first attraction: a haunted insane asylum.
as they centured into the first few rooms she let out short shrieks of fear with each madman that came
their way. she tried to laugh it off as her friends seemed able to do each time, but as they progressed
it became harder and harder. her squeals grew longer and longer and eventually she found that she
couldn't even smile and pretend she was having a good time. she began to cling to her friends for refuge
but they hardly provided moral support, adding scary sounds effects and joking about the murders that
allegedly occured when the asylum was open and operating. in the next room, rune lost it.

"i can't take it anymore!"

bursting into tears, rshe fled through the last few rooms screaming as she was approached by monster
after monster. in her blindness she crashed into another group of teenagers but couldn't even make
herself stop to apologise. when she at last stumbled through the exit rune gulped at the crisp night air in
relief. tears fell rapidly from her cheeks and heavy sobs raked at her chest. it was such a stupid idea for
her to have agreed to come along. not only was she sure that her friends were inside laughing at her, but
she was also convinced that she would now suffer from nightmares for the rest of her life. she tried to
remind herself that everything was fake, but still found herself shaking at the thought that a zombie
could come running out after her at any second. a sudden sound from behind her caused her to jump.

"hey! are you okay?"

yelping, rune whirled around to find a gentle looking male about her age standing at the asylum's exit. she
tried to blot at her tears quickly, realising how much of a fool she was making of herself, but found that
she couldn't make them stop. she smiled weakly in response to the boy and tried to wave him away. she
didn't want to talk to anyone in the miserable state she was in. however the boy started to walk toward
her instead. he stopped just a little ways from her. his expression was full of understanding, almost
apologetic. rune found that she felt safer in his presence.

"haunted houses not your thing huh?"

still sniffling and unable to speak, rune shook her head. the male sighed. for a moment she thought he
was going to chastise her, but instead welcomed an expected embrace. the warmth of the other mako
felt so good to her, as if nothing could harm her as long as she stayed there in her arms.

"what a silly idea to come then."

the soft tone of his voice blanketed her. she felt her heartbeat begin to slow down and in a few minutes
she could breathe steadily again. she laughed softly as she wiped at her eyes, realising that she must look
like a disaster.

"thank you."

she spoke in a hushed whisper. she felt as if even the sound of her own voice could disturb the peace of
that moment and send her back into hysterics. the other mako smiled but didn't say anything in response.
just as she was beginning to appreciate the silence a group of girls burst from the asylum's exit and ran
frantically toward her.

"rune are you all right?"
"what happened?"
"we were so worried."

the male mako let her go and stepped back, allowing her friends to surround her. she was so glad to see
them that she couldn't even feel embarrassed about her behaviour. she explained what happened while
her friends did their best to console her.

"sorry for ruining the night guys."

her friends murmured that it wasn't her fault and they shouldn't have made her come. but also, that
she should have told them she didn't like haunted houses. they agreed to going home and watching a late
night movie to take her mind off the experience.

"i just have to ask one thing before we go. who was that boy you were talking to?"

rune looked up at her friend in surprise. she looked around quickly to find that the boy was already gone.
it suddenly occurred to her that she had no idea even what his name was. her friends looked at her
increduously, questioning how she could have neglected to ask for the name of her saviour - especially when
he was as attractive as he was. rune shied away from those comments, but realised that she would really
like to be able to see him again, and was kicking herself upside the head for her missed opportunity.

as the group turned and began to make their way towards the premises' exit, she noticed a movement out
of the corner of her eye. there he was! he was trailing at the back of another group as they walked in the
opposite direction. he turned to look back, just briefly, and gave her a short smile and a wave before joining
the rest of the group. she almost ran after him, but they rounded the corner and he was gone. meanwhile her
friends had gotten a ways ahead of her and stopped to let her catch up.

"come on rune!"

so, as the girls made the journey home, rune decided that yes, although tonight may have been the worst
night of her life, she wouldn't trade it for any other. she became determined to find the identity of that
boy so that she may one day properly thank him for, in the truest sense of the phrase, saving her.

I don't know why, but the charm that this story has is too much. >w< I love a good romance, and I know that this is a commonly used idea, but the mix of a silly haunted house along with it made it kind of nice. I would have liked more detail on the haunted house though to get the spooks up.

Story for the Mako on Halloween Night:

I tugged on my black cape, as i kept my head low. I kept walking as children started to admire my body, their hands searching around in their candy bag. I tried to smile, but all i could do was stare. I stayed in character, creeping up to them. I did my scare and they jumped, laughing. I turned around and headed for the mansion, in the opposite direction, and knocked on the door, Getting out my bag.
"Trick or treat" I swallowed as she looked into my eyes and smiled.
"Hi şeker." She turned her back on me and got out a tin of small candies that looked just like me - colours of yellow, orange and white. She gestured them towards my bag. My words got mixed in my head, and i finally came out with
"Tankhs" She looked at me with a crooked eye
"I mean, Thanks . . . do you want to come with me? No need to bring a bag, you can have mine . . ?"
"I would like that, thanks" She hugged him "Happy Birthday... BTW" he grinned and done an impression of their English teacher.
"It's pronounced, 'By the way', you need to get off your phone young lady" he pursed his lips and blabbed on in his mimicking voice.

Cute honestly, but I would have preferred just a bit more to show me more of the mako's character/personality. This feels a lot like a WIP maybe?

Name: Nyght
Sex: Biological Male
Story for the Mako on Halloween Night;;
The buildings of the town scaled up from the ground,
smiling down at Nyght as he walked calmly along
the Japanese stone path.

He gently pulled the frosty air to his lungs, and pushed it back out
in a relieving sigh, tightening his grip on the can of silly-string
behind his back.

As he made his way slowly to the dimly light flat-house, he slowly started
to quicken up his pace on tipped toes, making no noise besides the
rushing whistle of wind around his horns. Quickly hopping over the small
garden gate, Nyght snuk behind the large bushes, running the
fingers of one of his hands along the waxy leaves as he rounded the corner
and pulled open the screen doors, taking on a sickly walk as he stuck his
silly string can in his back pocket and wrapped his arms tightly around his
stomach.

Groaning and stumbling, he made his way over to Ashvik; whom of which looked
startled and distressed as he sat on the large couch beside a four foot open window,
his mane ruffling in a very handsome way, Nyght thought.

"Ohhh~ Ashvik, I think somethings wrong with me..." He moaned, quickly unwrapping
his arms and placing one on the couch, using the other to sneakily get
the silly string from his back pocket, pulling it down to his side.

Ashvik hurriedly got to his feet, rushing over to Night and putting his hands
on his shoulder. "Were does it hurt? Do you need any medical care? I can
carry you over to the urgent care center if needed!"

Nyght gagged, pulling up the silly string and spraying it in Ashvik's face with a laugh,
straightening himself out.

"Happy Halloween man!" Nyght chuckled with an irresistibly sweet smile.

Ashvik straightened himself up and glared at Nyght through the silly-string on his muzzle.
Crunching his fists with a few pops, he walked off for the restroom without a word.

Nyght's posture drooped and his smile faded, replaced with a quizzical frown.
"It was just a joke Ash, no need to get so worked up about it."

Ashvik snorted as he went in front of the mirror, grabbing a towel and wiping the string off of
his face. "How many times do I need to remind you, I don't trick-or-treat anymore, and I won't
be coming with you this year. 14 years of that nonsense is enough."

Nyght groaned. "Why do you always suspect just because I come to your house
in October, I'm going to ask you to go trick-or-treating with me. That's....so...." He sighed,
putting his hand in his hood pocket, clenching the feathery mask he had. "childish."

Ashvik huffed slightly, pushing past Nyght as he came out of the bathroom. "Glad to see you got your
thoughts straight."

Nyght simply leaned against the door frame, desperately trying to come up with something
to do. He missed hanging out with Ashvik, heck, the two had known each other since they
were little, and now Ashvik was slowly drifting away from Nyght, like a jellyfish in a deep ocean
current.

Suddenly, a thought sparked in his mind. He had seen some police tape up near the woods. If only he
could convince Ashvik to come...

"Hey, Ash?" Nyght asked turning around and taking his hand from his pocket, looking down at the can
of silly-string he was still holding, weighing it.

"What." Ashvik muttered from his bedroom as he pulled a new, red and white striped shirt over his head.

"Would you be willing to walk me home? You know there's those stupid gangs of kids attacking people on
Halloween. I already ran into them once tonight, but luckily I found this sweet shortcut to your place and back
to my house." Nyght lied, looking pleadingly at Ashvik with large eyes.

Nyght could see Ashvik's eyes lighting up in the childish way they once did so very often way back when, though,
it was hidden beneath a cover of calm, fake sincerity. "Sure."



I spotted the two, walking closely together. The tallest one, an orange and black-ish color was telling horrid jokes,
and the short blue one was blushing and chuckling slightly. Repulsive.

Of course, with my broad chested and shouldered build, I couldn't sneak around so I was making all the noise
in the world, and those two shark butts were so Ignorant, they didn't even hear me. Until I muttered;;

"Boy y'all are dumb." In a low, quiet and gruff voice.

The short one stopped walking, glancing around toward my direction. I cursed to myself quietly and ducked behind a
tree, heart racing and lungs desperate to try and oxeginize my body.

I laugh at myself now-a-day's for being so scared of two wimps.

"You alright?" The tall one asked the short one as he turned towards him.

"There's a gorgeous bootiful monster over there! He's too irresistibly to stay away from!"

No. He never said that. In-fact he said the near exact opposite. Jerk.

Okay enough of that. Anyways, the tall one simply shrugged with a chuckle. He told the short one that it was probably
just a couple of trick-or-treater's who got lost and are now just messing around. Smooth man, smooth.

They continued walking, and I noisily followed them. The short one by that time was freaked out, and after a few minutes
of following them, I decided it was a good time to share some Halloween 'cheer'.

I jumped out in front of the two, roaring so loudly their manes got blown back. Both screamed like little girls and rushed past
me in opposite directions. Smooth.

After that I was satisfied and left. Simple.



Ashvik raced through the tree's, trying desperately to find Nyght again. Having both been scared off by
Fihgor, the two got separated. Little did Ashvik let anyone know, he was actually terrified of being left alone at night...

especially on Halloween.

Now in a panicked craze, Ash started to cry, slowing his pace down and trying to relax. "Nyght!" He shouted. Were are you!
You need to get..." He droned off, whinging and crying loudly.

'Great,' He thought angrily to himself. 'now you look like a fool! And It's all Nyght's fault. All his-'

He stopped thinking and listened. He heard something. A scream. It wasn't too far off, and it sounded just like Nyght.

'oh boy'

Ashvik scrambled to his feet, racing over to were he heard the sound.
He kept running. And running,
and running.

Finally, he reached a ledge overlooking a gorge with a thin stream running through it. He nearly tripped off the crumbling edge, but thankfully
he used his tail to balance himself out and he backed up, looking bewilderingly around for Nyght.

"Ashvik!" He heard Nyght call out from below him. "Down here! Please! He-" His voice gagged and Ashvik squeaked, getting down on his stomach and peering over the edge.

Nyght was dangling a few feet down, having gotten caught by his hood on a small jutting rock. He was looking up at
Ashvik desperately.

I really like the story you were writing and I can't help but fall in love with the character you created for the Mako. Interaction with another character is always very nice to show personality of a character. >w< I wish it wasn't a WIP though and I could read more.

Story for the Mako on Halloween night

It was that time again, that one night a year where i could truly be me and not get in trouble for it. Every year i would spend my time counting off the days to this spectacular night and a couple of weeks before it, i would sit in my room planning. Halloween was what made life worth living for me... not in the scence that i hated it on every other day, but in the scence that i knew i could go wild, run free and never be caught. Making trouble is my life and on Halloween i could make as much as i wanted to, no strings attached.

Its not that i didnt make trouble the rest of the year, no i did that quite often and i almost always got cauggt, just because people usually instantly assumed it was me... but on Halloween i was hidden. This year wouldn't be any different. I spent months on my costume, an intricate bat costume that hid everything but my eyes. It was a soft black with wings that stood off to the side and large ears that stood a slight bit too tall. The tail however was something different since i couldnt really hide mine and bats didnt have tails, it looked dragonlike and it suited me perfectly.

As always i hid my costume outside, in a place i wouldn't dare mention , so that no body could pin it on me. Id build the suit, sneak out, get dressed, reek havoc and when the night came to an end i would anonymously sell it for money for the next years costume. It was exstreamly fun, took carefull planning and allot of creativity. I mean if i wasnt so sick of people telling me that if i stopped using my gifts for 'evil' id be a genius, i would have claimed the name of the phantom trickster years ago.

Yeah i had a nickname and i was legend. Kids would prowl the streets for me, teens wanted to be me and those my age, they just sat around wanting to see what i would do next

nwn I do like the idea, but it's not really what I was looking for in a story. This seemed more like an explanation rather than a full story, and I wish you had more.

Story for the Mako on Halloween Night:

Of all nights to be dared to walk into the forest, the forest that no one entered because it was believed to be the home of a beast. Thing is, the beast was said to only hurt males, but females who went in, were never seen again. Males were found dead. My friends did not believe the rumors, they thought it was all a joke to scare people away, so they dared me to enter the forest. Not wanting to be seen as a coward, I took dare and entered the forest. I walked deeper into the woods, looking back once and a while at the others, until I could not see them no more. I kept walking, jumping as I stepped on a twig, squealing as I heard a ruffling in the bushes beside me. I did not see anything after much time and so relaxed a little. The whole thing was just a rumor, or so I thought.

He watched me, stared from the safety of the shadows. His face was twisted into a smirk as he followed me through the woods. I did not realize he was there, he was as silent as the vacuum of space. I sat down and sighed, relieved to be safe and be able to head back to where my friends were, then I saw him. His eyes glowed red as he stared at me, standing in front of me. His black and red fur hard to see in the dark, a dark purple hat sat upon his head and purple leg warmers on his front legs to match. A string of green beads, with red feathers and a small skull sat on the rim of the hat. He had an evil smirk on his face, his white teeth shining in the night.

"What is a pretty thing like you doing in this part of the woods." he started to come closer, eyeing me. He looked insane, he looked evil, and I was scared. I started to back up, my eyes wide in fear, my heart racing, beating so hard I thought it would burst out of my chest. 'Now, now, come quietly and I won't have to hurt you." he chuckled and came even closer. I was frozen for only a few moments before my muscles kicked into gear. I Spun around and bolted. I heard screeches behind me, inhuman screeches, following me, pursuing me. I didn't look back as I saw the edge of the forest and my friends waiting there for me. I stumbled out of the forest at full speed, smacking into my friends and knocking them over. We fell in a pile on the ground, my friends complaining and annoyed. "What in the world has gotten into you?!" one glared at me. "Ya, you're overreacting!" another exclaimed. "Now my clothes are all dirty." a third complained. "There is a monster in the woods!" I nearly screamed, staring into the trees, the red eyed were still there, angry, but refusing to leave the forest in which he hid. "There! Look!" I pointed, but he ducked away before they looked. "There is nothing there!""I saw it! I swear!" I replied.

"Come on! Let's go get some candy before it is all gone." One of my friends rolled his eyes and turned to head away. The others started to follow, but I looked back into the woods. My body was still shaking and my heart still racing. I knew I would flip if I stayed out here any longer. "I'm heading home..." I told them, slowly walking back towards my home where I would hide from the dark creature that nearly attacked me. And I did not sleep, nor go outside until the morning sun rose high in the sky.

Extra Note:
The creature that attacks her is my char Trekk (Slight Blood Warning).
The screeching that is heard are his ghost companions chasing her.

Rather interesting to read, but I feel you went for horror, and it seemed just not very scary. A stranger in the woods though is a very commonly used idea and tends to just be rather worn out by now.

Alright, and with the last complete form finished: I went with the form I felt I connected most with for an interesting character and a nice quality of writing. With both of these things and even a nice length, the winner of this mako is

Tricksters

They had such a nice story to read with just a nice story about what the mako was doing on halloween. ;w;
