For Halloween I decided to write something to do with Halloween:
Mr. and Mrs. Hanson sat on their couch holding their three-year-old twins, Amy and Annie. It was a crisp fall day in September, it had been clear but windy. The orange sun was casting it's rays painting the sky multiple colors as it set behind the end of the gorgeous landscape dotted with red and orange trees. This quaint little family didn't notice the sun set though as they watched "Cinderella" with content expressions on their faces. Mrs. Hanson looked at sweet little Annie, who was snuggling deeply into her mother's chest, and noticed something was not quite right. She pressed her hand down into Annie's face to feel the brown stuff she was noticing that was beginning to form. It was soft fur. She looked at her precious daughter as she watched this child become something that was not quite right: a dog. Suddenly in the place of a sweet innocent child there came a vicious beast with white canine teeth, daggers for claws, and dark eyes. Mrs. Hanson let a scream escape her lips and then she heard the words "Get Amy out of here," come from her lips and reach her husband's ears. Mr. Hanson, who had been shocked by this unexpected transformation, grabbed the little girl in his hands and swept her out of the room. Mrs. Hanson allowed for them to leave and slowly made her way to the back door making sure the monster was following her. She left the building and so did the dog. As the dog stepped out, Mrs. Hanson made a mad dash to the door. Then she shut it and locked it right behind her.

My Brother, Cupid Part 3
This left the door completely unguarded. This meant that if I wanted to, I could just walk inside the meeting and get my brother to take the dumb spell off of me. But I knew this wouldn't make the elves happy or the holidays happy so I grabbed a plate of cookies to take with me. Then I walked inside and closed the door behind me.
“Mother, we've told why we can't make Mother's Day a week long holiday,” Santa Claus was saying as I came in.
“I'm just thinking about all those poor mothers who work all year long, and need a week long holiday,” Mother Day responded.
“There is no vay that the children vould be able to stand it for one veek,” Dracula said.
“That's right, it's hard enough to get kids to behave and serve their moms one day but by one week the kids will be misbehaving left and right and mothers will be pulling out their hair,” Santa said.
“I agree. When my mom has mother's day or her birthday by the end of the day she was sick of us doing things for her and always starts doing them herself. There is no way she would like one week,” my brother said.
“Cupid, when was the last time you talked to your mother?” Mother Day asked.
“That's off subject, Mrs. Day,” he said but she looked at him so concerned he added, “Last week my brother, who is standing right there -
“What are you doing here, Todd?” he interrupted himself. All the holidays, who didn't notice me before, looked my direction.
“Hi,” I placed the cookies on the table, “Can I barrow Cupid for like ten seconds?” I asked.
“Why?” Mother Day asked.
“He put one of his love spells on me, and I need him to take it off,” I said.
Immediately all the holidays attention was on my brother, “It was a joke. That's what brothers do, they play jokes on each other.”
“I like it,” April's Fool said.
“You're mother would be especially disappointed in you, Cupid,” Mother said.
“I agree with Mrs. Day, that was really mean of you. Not nice at all,” Santa Claus said.
“It was a joke. We all need a few jokes in our life,” April's Fool said.
“A joke is only funny when both sides are amused. Does Todd look very amused?” the turkey, who I never talk to because he freaks me out, said.
No body responded.

My Brother, Cupid Part 2
I chased him down and started looking for him. When I couldn't find him and I had ran out of time, I went to school. You may think this is a stupid idea, going to school when you have all sorts of dumb love magic on you, and I used to think that too. But after getting hit with the arrow so many times and realizing that sooner or later you're going to have to fall in love you learn that you just have to live with it.
The way I figured it, was as long as I didn't look into any girl's eyes I wouldn't fall in love. I've done this before and it's worked. And even if I did fall in love I would just make my brother pull the spell off of me as soon as I got home. This has happened before too.
So I focused on the ground as I walked to school. When I got there, I checked in the office and focused on the lady's hands. So far it was going pretty well.
I stepped into the halls and went to look for my first class. I stared high at the walls, well above eye level. If I did see eyes they were in my peripheral vision and that didn't count. I shuffled through the masses of people avoiding them.
Then I hit her. I mean I physically hit her. We both landed on the floor with a thud and her stuff went flying everywhere. I went to go help her pick it up, but when I gave it to her I made eye contact. Big mistake.
I could feel the sparks flying like I had many times before. I knew they weren't real but still felt my lips open and one simple sentence flew out, "You're really pretty, I'm glad I ran into you."
She looked shocked. Then she looked confused. Then a few kids who had over heard started snickering. She looked at me and said, "Um, thanks."
"No problem, beautiful. Anytime. I would do anything for a look into those eyes," I said trying my hardest not to say anything.
"A little creepy," she mumbled and quickly walked away into the audience of snickers. I could hear people whispering about me, mocking me, and laughing at me.
"Chase better start counting his days," I growled. Then I left to hurry to my class.
I immediately regretted this, because she was in my first class. I had to sit by her, force of the arrow. She turned away, hoping I wouldn't talk to her. But of course I did. I said, "What's your name?"
She frowned at me but said, "Haley."
"I'm Todd," I said.
"Um, okay." And then she moved away.
A few hours later I arrived at home. The quicker Chase pulled this spell off me the better. I walked inside and started to yell, "Chase! Chase!"
A heard a zip of wings and saw my brother fly in. He was a baby with a pair of white wings on his back, a quiver on his back where his arrows and bow laid, and a diaper. "Can't talk now. Council of Holidays meeting right now."
"You have to pull the spell off of me. Everyone's already making fun of me," I said.
"Why? Is she ugly?" he asked opening the portal to where ever he was going.
"No, but she does think I'm a creep."
"Well, I can't do it now. I'm going to be late. Mother Day called the meeting and you know Mother," he said.
"You have to pull it off," I said.
He ignored me and started to go through the portal. I grabbed his tiny foot and hung on as he pulled as both to where ever he had to go.
We got to the other side and he zipped off while I found myself a heap on the cold stone floor. I looked up to see five elves looking at me. The meeting was, evidentially, at the North Pole. I nodded at these confused creatures and they got back to work.
