The crowd
Once upon a time there was a young man, whose name was Brian.
It was the 31-st of October, Halloween’s Eve and all young people of his higher school were going to celebrate Halloween that night. They were brave and risky like all teenagers, so they’ve decided to celebrate it not in a club, but in on old deserted cemetery, in one of the crypts. It was rather huge to hold the crowd of elephants, not only people.
So the boy dressed up the costume of Black Prince and left his home. While he was going to the cemetery, the weather was getting worse and worse. The strong wind was blowing severely. It was getting darker and darker, because heavy black clouds were hanging over the city. It started raining. Heavy lead drops were falling on the ground. He met nobody while he was going along the city streets. But when Brian went out of the city, suddenly three silhouettes appeared. They were three Ugly Witches.
Three Ugly Witches: «Where are you going? »
Brian: «I’m going to have the Halloween celebration on the deserted cemetery with my friends and classmates. »
He didn’t suppose them to be real witches, but they really were.
Three Ugly Witches: «We would like to join. »
He didn’t mind, so they continued going ahead together.
Suddenly Little Sad Ghost flew up to them and howled: «Woooooohohohohoho-ooooooo!!!!!!!»
Brian (burst out laughing): «Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha! An awesome costume, by the way! Where did you take it? Next year I would like to have the same!»
Then they met a vampire with a cadaveric smell, pale skin and bloody-red eyes, a couple of werewolves and zombies.
Brian didn’t guess that they were real, but they really were.
At last they approached the cemetery. But in a moment a heavy cloud covered a full moon and it became as dark as inside the coffin. Suddenly another one figure appeared from nowhere. All evil creatures began trembling like the leaves on the birch. «Oh, Master! Oh, Master! » – They were whispering. It was a real Grim Ripper with a real scythe. But Brian didn’t guess that he was real, still he really was.
Brian: «You’ll definitely be the King of the party! It’s only due to your scythe! Why hadn’t I got such an idea? »
Grim Ripper: «Don’t worry, Brian!» (And the flock of the bats soared into the sky.) «You’ll be the King of the party tonight! If you do me a favor, of course. Just help us! »
Brian: «What should I do? »
Grim Ripper: «Don’t ask now. You’ll see then. It’ll be an innocent trick! Ha-ha-ha-ha!!! »
The boy thought that it will be a kind of a riddle or a quiz as they have annually. So, he agreed and they entered the gates.
Soon the company reached the crypt. The celebration was in full swing! MMMMMmmmm…… It was a great spectacle! Costumed evilspirits of all kinds were having a great time! Hard rock music and thick smog accompanied wild dances and laughing. Glowing Jack` o` Lanterns supplemented the sinister.
Brian met some friends and forgot about his companions. But they didn’t lose time in vain, they were doing their job. The boxes of little green bottles appeared by just one waving of Grim Ripper’s scythe. The ghost, the vampire and the Three Ugly Witches were giving green bottles to the teenagers here and there. By this magic potion they would make all young people absolutely cruel, bloody-minded, murderous and ruthless. And at last they would take their souls.
Boys and girls were drinking that potion and began to lose their feelings, memories, emotions, wishes, besides only one- the hunger of blood and murder.
It was almost midnight- the apogee of the celebration. The King of the party has been already chosen, no doubt it was Brian.
Grim Ripper: "You should find the Queen of the Party, the most beautiful and innocent girl, and kill her! She should agree to be a victim by her own will, not by force. If you do so, you would be the King of Halloween forever! "
Terrible promises for achieving their miserable goals… Satanic mission was almost completed. Brian was searching for a girl. He was going through the crowd and looking at the faces. The girls dashed different directions away from him in panic. At last he found her. She was his classmate, Jenny. She fell in love with him at once, in the first grade. But he didn’t return her love. She still continued loving him, just inside her heart, never showing him her feelings. But she always was somewhere nearby. Always was smiling, helpful and caring. Brian didn’t guess she still loved him, but she really did.
So, it was Jenny. She really was an incredibly beautiful girl. She didn’t have an awful make-up like everybody on this party had. Her lashes were just slightly touched by mascara. There was no lipstick on her lips. They were plump, gently-virgin and as scarlet as it can only be, with a natural glitter. Her cheeks were rosy because of dancing. Her eyes were sparkling in the darkness of the crypt. The strand of her curly golden hair sticked out from the Witch’s Hat. And even her costume of the witch was not scaring. It looked like Fairy’s costume more than a Witch’s one. It was black, strewn by small violet stars. And also Jenny was the only conscious person among all them, because she didn’t drink the potion. She never drank too much alcohol during the parties. So she decided that the green bottle would be unnecessary for her and she just put it aside without being noticed.
Jenny was like a miracle among all these devils. In fact, she even didn’t want to come to the party. She liked parties of course, she didn’t like cemeteries. But her friend, Susan, told her that Brian would be there. So she just wanted to look at him and if it was possible-to dance with him.
Jenny’s dreams came true. He was approaching her. She didn’t feel fear. The girl was just frozen in amazement. She never expected him to pay attention to her.
Brian: «Would you be my Queen? »
Jenny swallowed her tongue; she didn’t realize that she would die in some minutes. It was a feeling of complete happiness: he was talking to her!!! She just nodded like a lamb and gave him her hand.
He led her to the stage where the scythe and the vessel for her heart had already been prepared by Grim Riper. He stood nearby and grinned with a great pleasure. His face, covered by numerous scars, expressed absolute calmness. The moment, which he had been waiting for centuries, was coming. The humanity at least would be in his hands. Grim Ripper was sure that in a moment he would be the Lord of the World.
The girl went up the stairs to the stage. Grim Ripper was greatly impressed by her beauty.
Grim Ripper: «She is a real Queen! »
The crowd: «She is a real Queen! »
Grim Ripper wanted to look noble. He asked Jenny, if she had the last wish. He was sure she didn’t have any wishes. But she did. She wanted nothing except a kiss. She asked just to kiss her true love before being killed by his hand.
Grim Ripper couldn’t refuse. But he began to suspect that it should be a defeat. If only the boy feels the same… But, it’s impossible. He has already drunk the potion. He is brute, dead-hearted and insensible.
But the girl…She is so passionate, sensual and loving…
The shadow of a doubt passed over his face. He was ready to set her back. But it was too late…
Jenny came up to Brian, threw her arms around his neck and her hot breath touched his lips, then she kissed him…
It was just a pure kiss of a virgin, a girl, who didn’t deny to give her life for the sake of her beloved boy.
And the miracle happened. It happened despite of evils` suspense to rule the world. It happened despite the fact that everybody there was fallen and vicious. It happened because it should be happened. Because at all times Good defeated Evil. And it will be so until at least one pure, innocent and true-loving heart is beating. It will be so.
The darkness dissipated. The ringing of the bells was heard. Evil spirits disappeared, dissolved in the smoke, crumbled into dust as if they had never existed. The ominous hissing and mumbling was heard for a while. And then everything became calm and silent.
The first rays of the dawn were setting inside the crypt through the narrow, small slits under the roof. The boys and the girls didn’t realize what had happen to them. The effect of the witch’s potion was over. They just remembered that they had chosen the King and the Queen of the Night and also had a great fun. They looked around and saw Black Prince and Little Witch on the stage. Children began to shout: “Brian! Brian! Jenny! Jenny!” But those two didn’t notice anyone. They were just holding their hands and looking into each other’s eyes and saw there the beginning of a new life, full of Love, Joy and Happiness.
