Chapter - Bonus 2

Wind howled outside. It was just the perfect weather for Halloween. I really loved the holiday, I really did. But when you started to lose your mind little by little, you started to question what was so good about this season.

"Orion...? Do we really have to go outside right now?"

"What's wrong? Do you not feel well?" Orion asks eyes full of worry.

"No I'm fine, I just..." Orion's eyes soften as he looks at me.

"There's nothing to worry about. I'm right by your side the whole time. I'm not gonna let anyone hurt you."

"Okay." I smile to Orion relived. There's a Halloween party on the city and we're going there like everyone else. And I know that the 'everyone' possibly includes the murderer. And is there a better place to start killing than Halloween party?

We start our trip to the mansion. Orion is dressed like a mad scientist and I am dressed like Frankenstein.

"We're here!" Orion says excitement in his voice. I look at the building in front of us. It really does look like a haunted mansion. I just wonder why there is a mansion like this in middle of the city?

"Welcome young couple, I hope you aren't scared of ghosts and monsters." The zombie looking man says while laughing and lets us in. Inside there is like in an actual horror movie. I really hope those are fake. There are cow webs everywhere, which are okay, potion bottles on tables, which too are okay, but then there are bodies of some sort, hanging from rope, on the floor on their own 'blood' and on the table, his 'organs' spilled to it. And someone is eating the 'organs' — just great.

"Orion, is that-?"

"Welcome to my humble home! Oh, you two look marvelous! I love the classics." A man on tuxedo and robe says. His black hair is pulled back and he has two pointy teeth on his mouth. His teeth look very sharp.

"Thank you for having us." Orion says with a smile.

"The pleasure is all mine. Please enjoy the night to your heart's content. You never know when it stop's." He laughed darkly. Chill's run trough my spine to his comment.

"Don't mind him. He's a bit.... Weird, but doesn't mean harm. And besides, I'm here with you the whole time. Nothing can separate me from you." Orion said and I relaxed. That's true. Nothing will happen when I'm with Orion. I squeezed his hand for comfort.

After that nothing unusual happened. We ate some sweets from the table and explored the haunted mansion. There were halls full of decorations which looked way too real. Other than that it was nice. We saw people from the school such as Hunter dressed as werewolf and Sean as a male red riding hood. They were here as a couple too. I smiled at them as we walked past them.

"I'm feeling a little thirsty. Let's find something to drink?" I ask Orion after I have stuffed myself with candy. Weirdly enough I haven't seen anything drinkable yet. Orion agreed, he was thirsty too. After looking for a while I saw a punch in clear container. But. It was... violet.

"What's in that?" I wondered as I took a cup. I drank some and regretted it right away. I spit it out in shock. And so did Orion.

"Ugh! That's awful." I complained as I tried to get the taste off my mouth. But Orion looked scared as he looked at me. He took my head in his hands carefully and made me look at himself.

"What's wro-?" I said but stopped as I saw him. His face was pale and he had dark circles in his eyes. But that wasn't the weirdest thing. His eyes had now pink hearts in them.

"Wha-? Ori-?" I said but I was cut short as he kissed me needily. Something happened in me, like I was possessed I answered to his kiss and I moaned for more. I couldn't control myself anymore. Then the realization hit me. Something was on that violet punch. When I saw myself in the mirror I had those pink hearts in my eyes too. Shit.

I don't know how long we were kissing there until the vampire guy noticed us. He looked shocked at us and the punch.

"What have you done?! That's not for drinking!" He panicked scurrying over. He took the punch and looked at us annoyed.

"Well, at least it works. But you two, come with me." He said circling us from far. We reluctantly walked after him but Orion still had a death grip on me. He growled at every male who come too close to me. He held me in his arms as we walked to where ever the vampire took us. After the long trip to the upstairs the vampire shut the door and sighed. I was pudding in Orion's arms as I tried to listen what the vampire guy was talking about.

"-as I was saying you two drank my love potion which by the way wasn't meant for you. How am I now gonna get her to fall for me now?! Huh?!" He said pacing around the room in shock.

"Huh?" I said still entranced. The vampire guy then snapped his fingers annoyed and we went back to normal. Just like that I was back to my senses. I blushed a million shades of red and Orion too seemed to be back to his shy self. But Orion didn't drop to the floor which I was thankful for since my legs were jelly.

"Are you now listening...?" The vampire guy said sighting in his hands as he sat down.

"Uh, sorry. But, so that was a love potion? No wonder why I felt so weird..." I said awkwardly.

"Yeah, I have tried to get her attention for a while now." The vampire guy said his head on his hands.

"Maybe you should just, tell her though? You never know how she feels if you make her love you forcefully." I said gently looking the vampire and turning to smile at Orion. "I liked Orion even before that weird potion." Orion smiled at me lovingly after I told him that.

"Yeah, maybe I should. It's braver than just cowardly forcing her." The vampire sighed and got up.

"You never know unless you try." Orion said smiling to him.

"Thank you. Both of you. I should just get to it then." He said trying to ease his own nerves.

The girl too was wearing a vampire attire.

"Uhm.. I like you, would you like to go on a date? I mean if you want to? Uh-" the vampire boy was stopped as the girl kissed him on the lips smiling.

"I thought you'd never ask!" She said happily. After all that hassle the vampire guy come to thank us.

"Thank you both. Here is something for the two of you." He said giving us two potions. Mine was green and Orion's was pink. He winked to us and left with his girl. I looked at Orion confused as he just smiled at me.

"Should we go home?"
