It begins 

Paul looked out of the window of the truck and saw the house as they drove up the dirt path. The house was a mansion it was run down and abandoned; it would make a great place for their little Halloween party. Their group was Paul, Lexi, Greg, George, Sam, Eve, and Will.  Paul looked at Lexi, and she looked back at him, smiling and said what a great location it would be. Paul parked his truck in front of the house and saw the other cars park beside him. Paul got out of his truck he was 24 and a handsome muscular man, and he took great stock in his appearance and social status.  Lexi got out of the passenger side and stood next to him. Lexi was 20 and a beautiful young woman dressed in clothing that accentuated the curves of her body. Out of another car, Greg got out of his car. Greg 21 was an average and unassuming man. He had a look that most people did not notice. The back door of the car opened, and George got out and joined the group. George 21 was a large man, and he was huffing as he joined the group. A third car pulled up to the house and the last three people got out. Will 20 was a muscular man like Paul though not so vain. Eve 19 was an attractive young woman though not as beautiful as Lexi. Sam 18 was thin and liked to be lazy.  The group looked up at the abandoned house and then went to the vehicles and began pulling stuff out. They were having a party and spending there Halloween in the house. The house was abandoned and a year ago the house had been where a young boy's body was discovered in the basement.  

The group began to set up their things in the house, and their little party got underway. It was as the sun was going down, and they began setting up lights that they brought that they began hearing strange sounds and creaks in the house. They laughed it off and continued partying. Soon the beer came out, and they began drinking, and then the group was startled when they heard a loud scream. They began to look around after hearing the scream and then will after apparently hearing something else he moved and after opening a door to a closet pulled out a young man. The young man was named Nate he was 17 and the young boy that was found in the house was his brother. The group asked him why he was there but even when they beat him, he did not say. So, the group after a suggestion from Greg decided to lock Nate in the basement to where his brother's body was found. They took him down into the basement and threw him down and left him there in the dark and went back to their party. The party went on into the night until soon the group decided to find rooms and many of them fell into drunken sleep.  

Nate 

Nate was left sitting in the darkness, he was sad and in pain, and he waited until his eyes adjusted to the darkness. Then he saw the figure; it was small like a young child. The figure was dressed in a Halloween costume and was wearing a mask. Nate saw the figure staring at him and then it put it figure up to its masked face signaling silence before it disappeared into the darkness. 

Paul 

Paul awoke in bed next to Lexi. They had been having fun after the party and then fell asleep. Now Paul really needed to relieve himself. He got out of bed and headed to look for a bathroom. He wandered the darkened halls of the house until he saw a lit room. He walked into the room and found it was a bathroom. In his groggy state, he did not question it. He just went in and began to relieve himself. It was as he was finishing that he staggered and as he caught himself against a wall, he felt a sharp pain in his hand. He pulled away cursing and looked at his hand and saw a small flow of blood from a puncture in his hand. Paul moved to the sink and immediately began to clean the puncture in his hand. It was as he was looking in the mirror, admiring his reflection. That he noticed the discoloration in his arm. He looked down at his arm and saw the veins in his arm turning dark and pale discolored spots on his arm. He touched a spot on his arm and saw the skin peel away revealing a bloody pit underneath and Paul noticed more pale spots appearing as the black veins moved up his arm. Paul shouted, falling back and tripping as the strength left his body. Paul could feel skin peeling and blood beginning to flow. Paul pulled himself back up as he did, he noticed hairs falling and piling on the bloody floor. He managed to claw himself back up and noticed his formerly well-maintained body. He saw the black veins had moved across his body. Places were discolored spots had become weeping lesions, and the black veins were moving up his head, and he saw his hair falling off in patches. He looked in the mirror with horror. Watching his perfect and well-maintained body fall apart before his eyes. He turned thinking of going for help when he saw a boy in a Halloween costume standing in the bathroom door. The child grabbed the doorknob and closed the door as Paul fell again and one of his arms became detached at a place where the lesions were worse. Breaking away from his body in a spray of black blood. Paul screamed as his body failed, and the door closed with a click. 

Lexi 

Lexi was in a light doze when she felt Paul get up and leave the room. She came more fully awake when she heard him come back in and get back into bed with her. In the darkness she felt him begin to touch her body. She let out light moans as her need became more intense, she moved around getting closer to him and she felt him pressing against her his hands moving across her body. She stared moaning with pleasure as he moved up her belly and grope her breast. Her moans turned into cries of pain when she felt something sharp press into her skin. She tried to pull away from him and from the pain grabbing at a hanging cloth as she tried to pull away. She was forcefully pulled back tearing the cloth down as she struggled. Then he was suddenly on top of her. The cloth that had been torn down had revealed the window were a shaft of moonlight fell on the bed. She saw the thing on top of her. A twist inhuman face with red tinted skin and horns. He looked at her and she saw only the inhuman desire on it face. She opened her mouth to scream but a clawed hand covered her mouth. She looked around and saw standing in the door revealed by the moonlight a costumed boy wearing a mask. Lexi made a muffled cry but the boy turned closing the door behind him. Lexi let out a muffled scream as the beast began to have his way with her and the door closed with a click. 

Greg 

Greg had not done much drinking during the party, so when he awoke in the dark, he did not have a hangover. Greg was a bit of Kleptomaniac, so he decided to explore the manor grabbing a flashlight he moved into the depths of the mansion looking for something to take. It did not take long when he was walking down a darkened hallway. He found a door ajar and soft light flowing out. Greg opened the door further and found a room mostly empty but in the center was a pedestal and sitting on the pedestal was a golden cup. As Greg came closer he could see the cup was all of a piece and winding around it were crystal snakes winding around the cup four snake head coming up around the lip of the cup. Greg wanted it and so he moved into the room slowly. There did not seem to be anything in the room but the pedestal. Greg went to the pedestal and grabbed the cup. Holding it up and examining it. He was looking inside the cup with his flashlight when he felt a sharp pain and Greg saw a crystal snake had wound itself around his hand and bit into the palm of his hand. Greg then saw a red color move up the twining crystal snakes, and the cup slowly filled with a red liquid from the mouths of the snakes. Greg noticed that his hand was not bleeding. The cup was half full when Greg felt lightheaded, and he fell to his knees. Greg realized that the liquid filling the cup was his blood. He started to cry out hoping to get someone to help him when he saw the child walk into the room. The costumed child looked down at Greg and not saying anything he walked away as Greg cried out again. The child closed the door as Greg's body began to shrivel as the last of his blood was drained into the cup. 

George 

George awoke with his stomach rumbling. Despite the drinks he did not have a hangover, but he really needed to eat. So, he set out to find more of the food they had brought. It was as he was approaching the kitchen that he noticed the smell. The smell of cooked food and he saw lights in the dining room. As he entered the dining room, he saw a large table laid out for a banquet. George stomach rumbled loudly, and he came into the dining room. From the table, he picked a small fruit and popped it in his mouth and began to chew. The taste was beyond anything he had ever eaten, and he set himself in a chair and began to gorge himself. It was an unknown amount of time later that George began to slow down; he was stuffed. His clothing felt tight and he was ready to go back to sleep. That was when he saw that the lighting had dimmed in the room and the room had become much colder and George noticed that at the far end of the room another man had appeared. The man was thin and emaciated he sat and watched George drooling. The man had bulging blue eyes and as he saw George looking he smiled, and George saw rows of sharp teeth. In a panic George got out of his chair and began to move towards the door to the dining room, but his added weight made it difficult for him. He kept looking behind him and saw the man staring at him and smiling. As George got to the door, he saw a child in a costume step into the doorway and slam the door closed. George slammed himself into the door and tried to get it back open. Then he heard a deep guttural voice say, “I am so Hungry”. George spun around and found the man stand directly behind him. He looked into the burning blue eyes of the man. George screamed when the man took his first bite out of George’s body.  

Sam 

Sam was a sloth and when he was tired of the party, he found a room with a soft bed. Then he laid down and fell into a deep sleep. Sam did not see when the large spider came down from the ceiling. Sam was awoken by the sharp pain of the spider biting him. He tried to move but no part of his body responded. Sam lay awake but unable to move when the spider came into view and began to spin it web cocooning Sam. Sam watched the spider cocoon his body up to his neck and watched as the spider crawled over him. Sam felt the spider stab into his belly through the cocoon. Sam watched in horror as the spider vomited it stomach acid into his body. Sam then felt the acid begin spreading through his body. He stared at the spider as it watched him. He could only let out low moans as he felt the slow burning as he melted from the inside out. Sam's stare was vacant when the spider oved again and it placed his mouth over the cocoon it mouth breaking into Sam's dissolved body. The boy in the costume watched until he saw the great spider begin to drink. Then he left the room.   

Eve 

Eve had found a room near Paul and Lexi and had drunk in an attempt to drown out the sound of their love making. Eve was envious of Lexi she wanted Paul to be with her. She let her jealousy knawe at her. While she slept, she did not feel the small black insect slipping into her mouth and down her throat. Eve awoke, and she heard grunts and moans, and she let her envy rise. She coughed and began to feel something moving under her skin. Eve began to panic and rose as she slapped where she felt movement. She coughed harder and she saw small black creatures with green heads come out of her mouth. The creatures moved to skin, and she felt them begin burrowing back into her body. She felt them eating at her and then she saw the costumed boy standing in the doorway as she fell back into her bed as she was eaten from the inside out.  

Will 

Will lay in a drunken stupor, but he was jerked violently awake when the door to his room was smashed open. Will saw a hulking man standing in the doorway and he came into the room. Will quickly got out of bed, he was a fighter and a brawler. He rushed at the man entering the room. The two fought in a violent scuffle, and Will quickly got the upper hand. Managing to get his hands around the throat of the other man. He pressed down hard and as he did, he felt pressure on his own throat. As he pressed harder, he felt the presser on his own throat increasing. Knowing that if he did not finish this quickly then he might get choked out. So, in a quick and violent push he crushed the throat of the other man. He felt the other man go limp. It was then that Will felt a sharp and crushing pain in his own throat, and he fell to the floor limp. It was when moonlight shone that he was able to see face of the man struggling to breath. It was a reflection of his own face. Will as he struggle to take his last breath saw the Costumed Boy watching him from the doorway. The boy turned and left as Will died. 

Nate 

Nate had waited in the darkness and had screams and cries from above him. It was at some point deep in the night that Nate saw the boy reappear. The boy approached Nate and took off his mask. Nate was left speechless as the boy was his younger brother who had been killed. Nates' brother did not say anything but looked at Nate and extended his hand. In his hand was a small piece of black candy. Nate looked at his brother and he all of a sudden knew what was happening. Nate took the candy and put it in his mouth and told his brother how sorry he was. Nate’s brother smiled and leaned in closer he whispered in a low voice that he was forgiven. Nate sat with his brother sitting next to him as Nate’s heartbeat began to slow, and a deep weariness came over him. Nate fell into a deep sleep and when his brother disappeared again, Nate was gone. 

The next day the news was abuzz with the discovery of Nate’s body and the disappearance of the group of friends that had gone to the mansion. It was the next Halloween that the Costumed boy reappeared with a new older friend, and they wandered the mansion waiting for new visitors to their home.
