October 2010

Beautiful fall foliage illuminated the trees of Central Park, the air was crisp. Kyle and Zoey strolled along together, taking in the scenery.

“Man” Kyle said in amazement looking around at the leaves on the ground.

“Getting used to the temperature change yet?” Zoey asked.

“Are you kidding, I love it” he said.

“Well just wait because when winter comes this neat thing happens where white stuff falls from the sky…” Zoey said teasing him, they laughed together “So…talk to Adam lately?” Zoey asked.

“Uh yeah I just talked to him a few days ago” Kyle said to her, they continued their walk through the park, their fingers tightly intertwined, holding hands “Don’t worry I didn’t tell him anything about us” he said to her.

“Thanks but you know what? I’m not worried” she said.

“Really?” he asked.

“No, you’re important to me, Adam is too, and you’re important to each other and if we all can’t find a way to make this work then…sucks for him huh?” she asked.

Kyle smiled, he leaned in close and kissed her lightly when he felt his pocket vibrate “Oh” he said reaching in and pulling his phone out, he sighed in disappointment “I got class in 20 minutes, we should probably head back” he said.

“Yeah I got to get back to the house, the pledges are in charge of setting up Pi Phi’s annual Halloween party” Zoey said.

“Yeah you know Delta’s still after me?” he asked her.

“Really…anyway I can talk you into pledging?” she asked.

“Not a chance” he said to her.

“Speaking of which…would you be my date for the party?” she asked sweetly.

“I would be honored” he said as they kissed Come on” he said nodding, she took his hand and they walked towards the park’s exit, someone passed by Kyle and he froze. He quickly turned around looking as the person walked on, his face a mix of horror and confusion.

“Kyle? Hey, you okay?” Zoey asked, he stayed silent, still looking as the person mingled into the crowds of people loitering in the park “Kyle” Zoey said.

“Did you…” he said pointing.

“What?” she asked,

Kyle shook his head “Nothing, sorry” he said laughing to himself.

“You okay?” Zoey asked.

“Yeah, let’s go” he said as they left, he still did a double take before shrugging and walking along.

He got back to his dorm room, he sat back in his desk chair, he opened his internet browser and logged into his email account. He clicked on an email link and a black screen popped up in front of him. Kyle looked at the message warily before pressing the play button. A snippet of a music video started "So everybody, everywhere Don't be afraid, don't have no fear I'm gonna tell the world, make you understand As long as there'll be music, we'll be comin' back again" a familiar lyric began to play when another bubble popped up underneath. "Regards Derek and Damien Winchester" he sighed, the door to his dorm room opened and his roommate stumbled in, falling face first onto his bed.

“How’s pledge week going?” Kyle asked him.

His roommate groaned in response “They said this was going to be fun” he whined.

“Who said that?” Kyle asked.

“My dad” he groaned “And the sad part is…they’re only using me to get to you…but the joke is on them” Sean said to Kyle. “Hey, are you going to Pi Phi’s Halloween party?” Sean asked.

“Have to my girlfriend’s a pledge” Kyle said to him.

Sean groaned as he rolled himself off his bed “shower” he said stumbling out of the room.

He turned his chair around and set eyes on the picture frame on his desk, picking it up and looking at the photo of all of them. He then picked up his phone and put it to his ear “Yeah hi, how much would a ride to New Jersey be?” he asked “Princeton” he said “About an hour, NYU campus, yeah, thanks, bye” he said hanging up. He grabbed his bag and put his phone back to his ear “Adam, hey, it’s me…” he said leaving his dorm room.

Quinn hung her picture up to dry when a knock came upon the darkroom door “Come in!” she said turning the outside light off.

“Hey” Adam said coming inside “Hungry?” he asked.

“I am, thank you” Quinn said kissing him.

“How’s it going in here?” he asked.

“Amazing, look at these” she said directing him to the pictures she had just hung up.

“Wow, these are incredible” he said.

“Hopefully professor Baxter thinks so” Quinn said to him as she picked up a pair of chop sticks.

Something caught his eye as he went down the line of pictures, he pulled it off the line and looked at it carefully, a familiar face glaring straight back at him “Uh…hey Q?” Adam asked.

“Yeah?” she asked holding a Chinese food carton.

“Uh…where’d you take this?” he asked.

“Over at the park…why?” she asked.

“When?” he asked.

“Couple days ago” she said.

“You okay?” she asked as she sensed his nervousness.

“And this guy…you saw him when you took the picture?” he asked.

“Yes…what’s wrong?” she asked.

“Nothing I just uh…I guess my mind is playing tricks on me or something” he said to her.

“You sure?” she asked.

“Yeah, yeah I’m alright” he said.

“Okay” she said “Oh I forgot, I wanted to show you what we could do for Halloween” she said happily.

“Halloween…right” he said when he felt his phone vibrate in his pocket. He pulled it out to see Kyle’s missed call, he then pressed play on his voicemail. “Adam, hey it’s me uh I thought I saw something today and it’s probably nothing, my mind playing tricks on me or something but uh…just be careful alright? Keep an eye on your surroundings, call me when you can alright? Bye” Kyle said as he hung up Adam looked down at the picture in his hand once more and shivered in fear.

Bradley and Neilson talked amongst themselves as they opened the door to their apartment “Surprise!” Natalie bellowed “What do you think?” she asked excitedly.

“Wow…what’s all this?” Bradley asked.

“You have been living out of boxes for months now, it was driving me nuts” she said “So I took the liberty” she “Called in a few favors, did a little painting, some decorating and tada!” she said happily.

“Ah yes, very nice” Bradley said to her.

“Thank you but I didn’t do it all by myself, your girlfriend was kind enough to help me out” Natalie said to Bradley.

“You really like saying that huh?” Bradley asked her.

“I love saying it” Natalie said “Oh I also stopped by the campus store and picked these up for you” she said handing them each a tee shirt.

“Um, why?” Neilson asked her.

“Homecoming weekend!” she said.

“That’s this weekend?” Bradley asked.

“Oh come on it’s Halloween!” Neilson whined.

“I didn’t think you guys would be in the Halloween spirit with what happened last year…” she said.

“No need to bring that up” Bradley said to her.

“Alright well I have to get to class, enjoy your new abode” she said to Neilson “See you guys later” she said leaving.

“Bye” he said to her.

“This incase we forget what letters our names start with?” Bradley asked about the giant initials on the wall.

“Well we will be getting pretty wasted so that may actually come in handy” Neilson said pulling books out of his bag “Going to be crazy around here these next few days.”

“Right? Halloween and homecoming weekend” Bradley said to him “I got a message from Kyle” Bradley said looking at his phone, he tapped on the speaker button and his voice filled the room “Bradley hey it’s Kyle look um…I thought I saw something today and it’s probably nothing, my mind playing tricks on me or something but uh…just be careful alright? Keep an eye on your surroundings…tell Neilson okay? Bye”

“What do you think that’s about?” Neilson asked.

“I don’t know, it’s probably nothing” Bradley said “Most likely it’s just Kyle overreacting.”

“You think?” Neilson asked, Bradley shrugged.

“Guess we’ll find out” he said.

Kyle made his way down a hallway, looking at slip of paper in his hand, he stopped outside a door and knocked softly.

The door opened and Harry stood there “Kyle!” he said happily “Hey!” he said.

“Hey” Kyle said smiling as they hugged.

“What brings you over the bridge?” Harry asked.

“Uh actually I had something I needed to talk to you about is there somewhere we can go?” Kyle asked.

“Yeah sure”.

They made their way across campus and took a seat together in a small coffee shop “So, how’s everything going here?” Kyle asked.

“Oh it’s great” Harry said “I got a job interning for a photographer.”

“Cool” Kyle said.

“Yeah, what about you? How’s NYU?” Harry asked.

“Great, yeah, everything’s going pretty well” Kyle said.

“So…you said you wanted to talk about something? Must’ve been pretty important” Harry said.

“Yeah uh…you talk to the others at all lately?” Kyle asked.

“Yeah right like they’d call me” Harry said to him.

“Okay look, I thought I saw something…someone today” Kyle said to him.

“Who?” Harry asked.

“Damien” Kyle said reluctantly.

“Damien?” Harry asked “Damien Winchester?”

“Yes, who do you think I’m talking about?” Kyle asked.

“How? Where?” Harry asked.

“I don’t know, I was in Central Park and…”

“Central Park? Kyle do you know how many people go to Central Park a day?”

“Harry it was him, I know it alright he had that obnoxious grin on his face like always.”

“That’s not possible, he’s dead, we checked this time, he fell from a balcony there’s no coming back from that” Harry said.

“I know, I know…I just…I don’t know, I could’ve swore it was him.”

“Is that why you came here? To warn me about a possible Damien sighting?”

“That and I needed a logical person to tell me that my mind is making me see what I want to see” Kyle said.

“It’s just bad memories, Halloween’s coming up right?” Harry asked.

“Mm” Kyle said nodding.

“Remember what happened last Halloween?” he asked.

“Well yeah it’s not every day you get caught in an explosion” Kyle said.

“You can’t tell me that it hasn’t been on your mind.”

“So I’m just insane” Kyle said.

“Not insane, just a severe case of PTSD” Harry said “Kyle…it’s over…he’s gone.”

Someone sat watching them from across the room, peeking from behind a newspaper, they picked up their cup and took a sip of their drink.

Kyle and Harry left the coffee shop, a cab hovered by the curb “Got to get back to the big city” Kyle said opening the back door.

“Save your money and call next time?” Harry joked “Alright, later” Kyle said getting into the cab and closing the door “Bye” Harry said as they cab pulled away from the curb. he began to walk along the darkened sidewalks as he made his way back to the dorms, he could feel a presence behind him and stopped to turn around, no one was there except for the rustling leaves on a shrub, he looked around nervously and shook his head before continuing on.

Adam and Quinn stood in a line outside of a theater “I promise you’ll love this” she said to him.

“Hours of classic black and white British horror movies? I’m sure I will” he said.

They entered the theater and approached the concession stand “Do you think British popcorn is any different from the American version?” Adam asked.

“Guess we’ll find out” Quinn said to him.

They ventured into the theater and took seats, Adam took a handful of popcorn and put some into his mouth “Oh my god” he said.

“What? No good?” Quinn asked.

“No it’s amazing” he said “You definitely can’t this kind of popcorn back home” he said handing it to her.

He looked around the theater when something caught his eye, a familiar face sitting across the theater, he looked confused before his face fell in horror. Suddenly the lights went dim and he saw what he could swore was Damien get up and walk out of the theater. “I’ll be right back” he said to Quinn before quickly dodging out of the theater, the doors flew open and he walked out into the lobby. He walked through crowds of people, excusing himself as he walked around in a daze, spinning in circles looking around to no avail.

“Adam” Quinn said coming to his side “Adam” she said getting his attention “Hey, are you alright?” she asked concerned.

“I saw him, he was here” he said still looking around.

“Saw who?” she asked confused.

“Did you see him?” he asked.

“Who?” she asked worriedly.

“…No one, I’m sorry, come on let’s go back in.”

“Are you sure? Maybe I should get you home” she said.

“No, really, I’m okay” he said.

“You sure?” she asked.

“Yes, I’m sorry.”

“Okay” she said as he wrapped his arm around her shoulders and they returned to their seats, he looked over the theater once again this time seeing nothing.

The streets surrounding the USC campus were alive with a flurry of activity as students flocked the campus. Bradley and Neilson sat at a table together in one of the campus’ most popular hang out spots.

Sydney entered and quickly approached their table “Hey” she said to Bradley happily.

“Hey, there you are” he said as they kissed,

She sat on his lap “Sorry I’m late but I finally managed to finish my first creative writing assignment, I just had to send it over to my professor” she said to him.

“Finally done after the fifteenth time?” he joked.

“Yes” she said “Can you believe this I didn’t think homecoming was this big of a deal” she said looking around.

“I think Halloween might have something do with it too” he said as they looked around at the crowd quickly filling up the bar.

“I’m going to get a drink, I’ll be right back” she said kissing him and getting up from his lap.

“You two with the PDA” Neilson said sitting next to him handing him yet another drink.

Bradley smiled bringing the bottle to his lips and taking a drink, suddenly he spotted something from across the bar. Neilson looked at him, his face falling in confusion at his expression before following his gaze, his face falling as well.

“You’re seeing what I’m seeing right?” Bradley asked.

“I’m definitely seeing what you’re seeing” Neilson said as they saw what they to believe was Damien leave the bar.

They quickly got up and ran outside, they looked around themselves, crowds of people filling the streets.

“That was him right? It was Damien” Neilson said looking around.

“It was him alright, he had that stupid smug look on his face like always” Bradley said as they continued to look around.

“Hey, what’s going on? What’s wrong?” Natalie asked coming outside and approaching them.

“We saw him” Neilson said to her, still looking around aimlessly.

“Saw who?” she asked.

“Damien” he said “Damien? Damien Winchester?” she asked “No, he’s dead” she said.

“Are we really sure about that?” Bradley asked her.

“He fell off of a hotel balcony, there’s no way he could still be alive” she said to them.

“It was him Nat” Neilson said to her.

“How can you be sure?” she asked

“There is one way” Bradley said to them as they looked at him.

Bradley’s headlights shone in the dark night, he pulled up outside the heavy iron gates.

“Guys this is not a good idea” Natalie said as they got out of the car.

They ducked underneath the chain on the cemetery gates and crept inside, their flashlights leading the way.

“How is this gonna look to the police academy when they find out you guys broke into a cemetery on Halloween?” she whispered.

“How would they find out?” Neilson asked.

They walked along the dark path “there it is” Bradley said coming to a mausoleum.

“Come on we can’t do this, this is someone’s final resting place” Natalie said to them.

“We just need to see it” Bradley said to her.

“What is a nameplate on a wall gonna tell you?” she asked.

“She’s right” Neilson said to him “As much as I want to it’s not definitive proof” he said to Bradley.

“It was him though…wasn’t it?” Bradley asked.

“Guys, it’s Halloween, it’s just bad memories, your mind is making you see things that you want to see” Natalie said to them.

“Yeah come on let’s just go” Neilson said to him.

Bradley nodded “Yeah, okay” he said turning back once more to look at the mausoleum.

They returned to their apartment later that night “Guess that’s what Kyle’s message was all about” Bradley said as they approached their door.

“What’s this?” Neilson asked picking up a box.

“Wasn’t there when we left” Bradley said as they walked inside.

Neilson set the package on the counter, Bradley tore the tape off and opened the box. among the packing peanuts was a plastic bag containing what looked to be a bloody ice pic. Bradley looked at it in confusion and horror, he looked at Neilson who shared his expression.
