Chapter 14

HALLOWEEN NIGHT WAS MY FAVORITE. The moonlight air was perfumed with the scent of damp leaves and wet moss. Fall had moved in like an artist’s brush, painting the trees in vibrant colors of gold, burgundy, rust and tangerine. I stood on my porch dressed in my blatantly revealing costume, toying with the necklace and excitedly waiting for Gavin to arrive. I looked pretty good thanks to Sophie. Austin and Tori were meeting us at Morris Landing.

The Trail at Morris Landing was like a haunted house outside. They had hayrides, bonfires and costume contests every year. At your own discretion you wound your way along the trail. Different sections of the trail had its own interactive scene or scenario to haunt you, from the guy chasing you with the chainsaw to the headless woman hanging from a tree. It was like being in your own personal horror film.

I heard Gavin’s approach before I saw his car. Fireflies rocketed through me in anticipation. Sophie was coming along for the ride with us, much to Gavin’s chagrin. When the Charger came to a stop Gavin got out of the car to open my door. He looked good enough to make me wish we could at least drive alone, not that I didn’t adore Sophie. I just felt like we really haven’t been alone since the night we kissed.

“Hey,” I greeted, smiling with happiness. Just the sight of him made me giddy.

“Wow… you look great.” His eyes roamed over me in a way that had my entire body reacting. The night air was balmy, but I instantly felt overdress – and I was practically wearing nothing. Thank goodness my aunt was still at the shop, I wasn’t all too sure she wouldn’t have let me leave the house tonight looking like I did.

“Thanks,” I replied, sheepishly. His gaze was making me subconscious and I had to fight the urge to cover some part of me as I got in the car. Sophie was in the back grinning like a fool.

“I told you,” she smugly said before Gavin gone back in the car. “This is going to be fun. You do look great by the way.”

“So do you.” And of course she did. She looked better than great actually. She looked celestial in her angel costume, her long raven hair curling over her shoulders and sprinkled with glitter. She could have just flown down from the heavens. Her eyelashes were decorated with rhinestones and her sapphire eyes dotted with a tiny star in the middle. “How did you get your eyes like that?” Thinking she must be wearing contacts. I couldn’t help but stare at them, trying to see the lenses.

“Magic,” she said with twinkling eyes.

I rolled my eyes. Sometimes I swear I could never get a straight answer for either one of them.

Tori and Austin were waiting for us as we pulled up to the trail, engine roaring. The sign at the entrance threatened in dripping blood – Don’t get left behind, or you might not come back.
