Chapter 204 - Bonus Trick or Treat

As an androgynous creature typed on a keyboard late into the night of 30th October, a grim-looking portal suddenly opened.

"You have been summoned," the figure in black hooded cloak announced and the writer dropped her glasses.

"Hades is that you?"

The summoner said no more and dragged the sleep-deprived and coffee overloaded author into the world of ink.

Lucifer noticed an unfamiliar presence on his school grounds and shifted into his bat form to confront the visitors.

"Halt! Who goes there?"

Truen stopped the humans toddling behind him and they bumped into one another, resulting in a human chain accident. Luckily, nobody was hurt.

"I came on a mission," Truen explained and held up a token that the Lord of Hell recognised.

"I don't want any trouble, keep it clean. It's still a school after all," he told the wood elf who bowed in acknowledgement.

Scarlet was impressed by the quality of this unusual dream while Jasper wondered just how much that piece of Venetian glass would cost. Alex was the only one wondering when they could go back to sleep for she was feeling very tired.

Truen led them down to an underground passageway and the spookers were starting to feel spooked.

Their next target was slightly insane but Alex blushed when she laid her eyes on him. ignoring the blue skin, Rayneld was a handsome looking gothic man. The Wilde princess swooned in silence and didn't notice the jealous bloody willow creeping up on her.

Alex's scream when a vine grabbed her woke the slumbering student. The Manta ray demon nearly attacked the intruders in alarm when he saw the party. Luckily, Truen was able to calm him down and explain the situation.

This time, it was Scarlet's turn to scare so she shyly walked up to the handsome man and whispered "Boo!".

Rayneld pretended to be frightened and Jasper quickly snapped a photo. He frowned. They should have better lighting here for a nicer picture but this will have to do.

"Happy Halloween!" Destiny chirped and gave the Manta Ray demon a book about the twelve steps to finding happiness.

With their mission accomplished, the small randomly put together party was whisked away by a spell and they saw Hades once more.

"Well done," the God of Death commended. "You have done well for collecting the original spirit of Hallow's Eve. Let the world spread far and wide that Halloween is not just a time for collecting sweets. It is also a time for appreciating life. Now, shoo! I need my beauty sleep."

Scarlet, Alex and Jasper were thrown back to their world while Destiny was mercilessly spat out by the vortex into her room.

She looked at the blank screen that she was staring for the past hour and sighed. A glance at the clock told her how late it was. Two in the morning and well into Halloween, but not a single chapter for Ball of Nothing was ready. Oh well, at least Love Journal was getting contracted.
