Melanie's 13 years old, and she absolutely loves halloween! She makes all her costumes and goes all out. This year, she is a space goddess. Melanie works hard each year to get lots of candy. But this year, something different has happened...
Melanie walks out of her small blue house, the fresh autumn air whisking around her fur. "Haha! Look its the freak!" Laughs a Pop from the street. The Pops were always causing problems. She ignores him, running to the first house. The decorations are so well done, they look real! She rings the bell, but then is suddenly forced downwards into a cold, dark empty space. She walks silently through the darkness, not scared at all. She hits fur. "Help, please..." she sees a small body on the ground, a kitten. "The clowns got me." Melanie hears laughter. She jumps. Clowns. Her only fear. She feels something grab her and darkness fills her eyes. She wakes up sweating. "Thank god its just a dream!" She puts on her costume, and jumps out the door. Melanie goes warily to a house rings the bell, and waits patiently. A clown appears. "Here ya go kiddo." He says. She takes her candy and runs to the next house, ringing the bell, this time remembering to say "Trick or Treat?!"
