I sat and took my mask off and my mother asked how long I had been with Amanda tonight. It was then my mother and father took me in the house and asked me to sit down at the table. The cop that was near my parents, said something into his radio, and three of them ran into the woods.

I told her she ran into the woods, cause she pushed Mike earlier and was afraid she was in trouble. I walked up and my mom grabbed me and asked where Amanda was? I asked her if she was in trouble, she said no honey, just tell me where she is. Amanda took off into the woods across from my house, and I could only assume it was for pushing Mike earlier. My mom was in tears and my father looked really mad. When we got back to my house, there were two police cruisers out front and my parents were talking to a cop. Amanda on the other hand looked as if she had steam coming off her skin. It was about twenty minutes back to my house by foot, and I was happy about that as I was freezing. He instantly stopped screaming and both of the men started heading back to the main building.

He was pointing at us, Amanda stopped and shushed him the same way she did me. As we walked past one of them started screaming an ungodly scream, the kind that makes your skin crawl. There were two large men standing at the fence in patient uniforms. We’d started heading back to my house and walked past the backside of the asylum. My phone rang three or four more times with that unknown number, but I never answered. I told her after this street I was going to head home as I was cold. I could tell she was upset with me so I apologized and we continued on. She looked deeply through the slits in her mask where the eyes were and her head dropped to the side. I told her she didn’t have to take this so seriously. Amanda turned and looked at me and held her finger to her mask again shushing me. I made a joke about how they had the best Halloween decorations this year. There was at least fifty people out in the fenced in yard, being chased by men and woman in white hospital gear. I looked across the field also and seen they had the spotlights on. When I looked up Amanda had stopped and was staring across a field, at the mental asylum. I didn’t answer, and placed my phone back in my bag that I had for candy. I checked it and an unknown number came up. We kept on walking the streets we’ve known since we were kids, when my phone started to ring. I asked her if she was okay and she turned and looked at me, and nodded yes. Her shoes weren’t the ones we picked out for our costume either. She seemed a lot skinnier than usual and she smelled terrible. I asked if she got contacts for her costume, and she just nodded yes.Īs we trick or treated, there was other little things I noticed also. Amanda had blue eyes just like mine but for some reason they were dark brown beneath the mask. After he’d fallen, Amanda took his bag of candy and threw it over a fence, and then she stood there staring at him. Amanda was acting strange though, as she would only go up to certain houses and at one point she pushed Mike a kid we knew in grade eight. We stuck to our rule and never said a word. Amanda and I stood side by side and started walking down the street.Įveryone we passed told us how awesome our costumes were, and how creepy it was. I left the bowl on the stoop, locked my door and pulled my mask down across my face. As they turned to leave I looked down my sidewalk and seen Amanda at the end, standing there staring at my house. I held out the bowl and the two small children took candy and said thank you. When I opened the door I heard “trick or treat”, there stood a Buzz Lightyear and a Cinderella with two smiling parents. The face time ended and I got a text that said see you soon.Ībout ten after six I heard my doorbell ring, which was strange as Amanda usually just came in as I did at her house. She didn’t say a word, just put her finger over her mask as to tell me shhhhh. She even went so far as to put fake blood splatter all over her white baby doll dress, so I in turn did the same.

I answered and there she was in her broken doll mask and dress.

About five thirty I got a face time request from Amanda. We were going to meet back at my place at six to head out trick or treating. Amanda had the idea that we wouldn’t talk either as that would make our look so much more creepy.Īfter school Amanda went home to change and I did the same. This year we decided to be broken dolls, we’d gone and bought the same baby doll white dresses and broken doll masks from our local Walmart. We’d been best friends since kindergarten, and every year our mothers dressed us up in the same costumes and so it carried on right up till this year which was our first in high school. Halloween had finally come, and my friend Amanda and I couldn’t be more excited.

Long creepy shush sound
