Mary

Dinner was a loud affair, filled with giggling girls and enough gossip to fill a dozen novels with silly stories. Mary and Haley worked the entire operation with minimal fuss. The sandwiches were pre-made and the chips were all bought in bulk. Bottles of water and an assortment of juice-boxes rounded out the dinner made for a herd of five-year-olds. But this was not about the food, this was about the adventure.

The ringing of the dinner-bell brought the noise level down enough that Haley could talk over them. "It is time to move onto the night's events, ladies. Now that you've all had a proper look around, I can only imagine that you'll want to go and create some scary Halloween adventures worth calling home about." Some light giggling resonated. "While you've all been eating, Mary and I have been setting the traps." The word traps drew frightened looks from some of the girls. Mary was amused at how Haley was hamming it up.

"Scattered throughout this estate are gold coins, each with a crown on one side. These coins will earn you ten points each. Also, there are scrolls hidden in odd places with the same crown symbol on them. Read those and complete the challenges. The challenges will lead you either to one of us, who will reward you points on the spot, or to a coin cache. Remember to keep the hysterical screaming to a minimum!"

Some more giggling took place, but before the noise level got too high, Haley yelled over them. "Is there anyone here who wants to go it alone?" Everyone began looking at each other, looks of confusion upon their faces. "If any of you simply hate your team, I have a one person challenge which will last you all night."

"ME!" the blond freshman named Molly shouted as she jumped once then approached Haley.

"Very well," Haley said with a grin, "come with me." Though she likely just meant Molly, most of the girls followed, curious as to what was happening. A throng of girly feet shuffled through the halls, then clomped up two sets of stairs to the third floor. "Ladies," Haley said in a creepy tone, "may I present Lady Amanda's cursed chambers!"

"Freaky," Amber said sarcastically, drawing a few giggles.

"Sounds comfy," Molly said, but her blush told the others that she was nervous.

"Comfy?" Haley gasped.

"Not scary," the overly dressed brunette, Gina, scoffed.

"Not even a little," the similarly overdone red-head, Rachel, agreed.

"Behold!" the blond haired, Tara, suddenly shouted dramatically. "It's the comfy couch! Fear the comfy couch! Fear it!"

This drew a round of giggling from the crowd which forced a fearsome blush onto Haley's face. "Well... it may not sound scary... but there is that little curse attached to it."

"Oh, come on," Amber scoffed.

"Be warned!" Haley shouted in the tone of a fanatical believer. "The curse of Lady Amanda's chambers!" An additional outbreak of nervous giggling rippled through the girls as some of them began huddling together. "The lady's lover came to her at midnight... and ravished her body until morning. Every day she awoke sore but satisfied."

"Damn," Tara said with a sparkle in her blue eyes, "wish I could find a guy to rock my world like that!"

"Girl," Gina said after the laughter of the group had died down, "it'd take a dozen guys to satisfy you're hungry snatch!"

"Half-a-dozen might do it," Tara snapped back, then cupped her breasts, "if they knew their way around these curves."

"Shall I continue?" Haley asked with a raised brow. There was some more snickering but enough quiet ensued. "Thank you... after a year, the Lord Fredrick became suspicious of his lady's... glow. So he set a trap for the lovers... and hid in the closet until the scoundrel came in the night. And when at last their noise was finished, he burst forth from the closet with a sword and murdered them both!"

"Awesome," Tara laughed, "they came then they went!"

"Not a bad way to go," agreed Amber.

"So what happens?" Molly asked with a yawn. "Does the sleeper get molested and murdered?"

"Maybe," Haley told her with a shrug. "No one really knows. But no one's ever successfully slept in there. They either run away screaming or vanish before the daylight comes."

"So," Molly spoke up, "my challenge is to stay in bed all night?"

"It is," Haley said with mischief in her eyes, "if you dare."

"Oh, I dare, alright," Molly said without missing a beat. "I dare so much that I'll get to sleeping right away." Laughter broke out among the others and a general Delta Omega chant broke out as she opened the door and started up the stairs. They could hear her reach the top and open the door. "Oh," she gasped, "this is nice! Clean too!"

"Ooohhh," Tara whined, "I want the comfy bed challenge too!"

"Sorry, no take backs," Molly shouted down the stairs as the others laughed. "You snooze you lose!"

"Says the girl who's about to miss out on all the rest of the evening's activities," Rachael cut in.

"Oh darn," Molly said as she began shuffling about. "Well you all have fun staying up all night! I'm turning in, and if one of you girls gets some idea about sneaking in here... I sleep with a stun-gun!"

"Oh, how romantic," Tara laughed. "Oh, my love... ZAP!" The laughter did not stop until after Molly had closed the door and everyone heard the lock click into place.

Mary looked into Haley's deep blue eyes. Something was going to happen. She had no idea what her friend had planned... but it would be awesome.
