Gender: Male
Story: "Cmon Ash, keep up!",
My younger sister, Emmy teased,
"Emmy slow down! We have plenty of time!",
"And time's ticking boy hurry up!",
"Im coming you impatient old women!",
"What did you just call me?",
She halted, allowing me to catch up,
"Nothing",
She laughed, I was out of breath,
"Cmon slowpoke, you can run faster! This is what you get for calling me old!",
Emmy sprinted ahead again, I just continued to walk, taking in the pitch black sky accompanied by stars, Halloween was truly a magnificent time for both me and my sister, it's the time we bond most over getting candy, I was dressed up as Batman and Emmy was dressed as a warrior princess, she was halfway down the block by the time my eyes met the sidewalk beneath me, she turned around,
"Come on brother!",
"Im coming!",
We were both going to the richest part of the neighborhood, yes it sounds greedy but they do have the best candy around, ok so it is, but who asked your opinion? Anyway, apart from that there is a Halloween costume contest, which is why Emmy is rushing me so much, she wants to get there, and soon, after we get candy of course,
it is the reason we have our pumpkin bags in the first place,
"Brother, we're almost there! It's just around the corner!",
I caught up to her and together we rounded the corner, there stood the big mansions owned by the richest of people, or as us kids call it, "The mine",
we call it the mine for obvious reasons, A. The candy is so delicious and valuable to us that its like gold and B. It's a dead end in the road and there are at least 50 houses here, each and every one covered in spooky decorations, one time we went through all of these houses in 20 minutes flat, that is our record, we are determined to beat it,
"Ready Ash?",
"Yup",
"Ok, 3...2...1.... Go!".
"18 minutes! That's a new record!",
"Woohoo!",
I yelled throwing my hands up in the air,
"Great job brother!",
We high fived the pair of us were completely out of breath, our exhales quickly turned to smoke that evaporated into thin air,
"What's the time Ash?",
I looked at the watch around my right arms wrist,
"5:30 pm, we have half an hour until we have to be there",
"Alrighty, do you think we'll win this year?",
She asked out of curiosity,
"I do hope so, we've been doing this for five years now",
"Yeah, we better get going if we want the best seats",
"Let's go!",
I ran ahead of Emmy,
"Hey! Get back here you slimy lizard!",
I kept running as long as my legs would carry me, around every corner that would lead my closer to the competition, I knew I didn't have to worry about my sister, she is incredibly light on her feet and is probably catching up to me quickly, the cold autumn air whipped through my mane cooling my face down from running so excessively, in the far distance I could feel the far vibrations of music underneath me, the song they were playing must have a high amount of bass, finally, we rounded a few more corners and there we were, at least a hundred of viscets were there,
"There's more then last year brother, maybe we don't have a chance",
"Nonsense Emmy, let's show em who's boss",
She laughed,
"You know we can't brother",
"I know",
The music turned off, everything went deathly silent, Emmy held onto my hand, the anticipation got worse every second that passed, my heart was thumping in my throat,
"Good evening everyone and Happy Halloween, it is with great pleasure that I announce the winners of this year's costume contest, I on behalf of everyone who organized this thank you for coming, we had quite a big turnout this year!, that being said, the two winners are.... ",
The elegant lady viscet was handed an envelope, she slowly opened it, I don't know if she was doing it to tease us or what but it was killing me
"Emmy and her brother Ash!",
The crowd roared, relief flowed over both of us,
through her contact with her arm I could feel her muscles loosen, we walked through the crowd and up to the stand where we were handed our trophy, with everyone applauding below us. And that is my favorite Halloween memory.
