Trick or Treat

She was constant trying to avoid her parents, even her sister. Trying to avoid the danger and darkness for as long as possible. Pandora had walked around in the woods, she wasn't scared of the rumors and a little fog was nothing compared to what her parents would do to her when she returned home. She came to this city, and walked down the barely lighted streets. Pandora noticed the big mansion and walked closer to it. She tilted her head and walked in. The garden was dead, and clearly no one had been there for a long time. What was people so scared about? Pandora walked through the gate and walked inside the house. She turned her head to the side before walking into the living room. Dusty. She heard the noise from the gates outfront and turned around. She felt a cold breeze, almost like someone was breathing down her neck. It made cold shivers move down her spine before she took a few steps towards the front door again. Pandora stopped when she heard the noise of something falling down in the living room. She turned her head in the direction. Was she even alone in here?

What was that sound? She turned around and narrowed her eyes a little. Pandora looked a little up the stairs, and felt her heart skip a beat. A light from a candle move closer. "Shit," Pandora moved closer to the stairs and started to run up the the second floor. Every step echoed in the entire room. Pandora turned her head back, to look downstairs. Up the stairs, a creaky door opened as soon as Pandora turned her gaze to it. A high scream made her walk back and she almost fell down the stairs. She saved her self with her ability of gravity. Pandora felt her heart beating heavily against her chest. There was magic in the room, different types of energy. But she knew the magical one.
"Who is there?" She asked out loud, trying to sound more tough than she might be.

A witch appeared, and Pandora jumped a little as she was surprised someone was even here. She frowned a bit by the witch being so open. "I'm Pandora," she replied. Pandora raised one of her brows when the witch was implying that Pandora was fooling around. But before she could reply, a large sound made Pandora jumped. She barely noticed that the stranger took her hand and dragged her into one of the other rooms. The sound followed them with another bang, almost as if someone was banging on the walls around them. Pandora moved closer to the stranger and wrapped her arms around the witch. As if she could keep her safe. The sound was just spinning around them. "We need to get out of here," Pandora loosened her grip of the witch and moved closer to the door. Her heart was beating insanely. She was terrified. Pandora reached out for the door handle, when it slammed and locked. "What the hell," she mumbled and tried to open the door but it was useless. The sound around them stopped. "Okay, you can stop now. Just open the door," she turned around and looked at the witch. Then the light went out. It began to get cooler in the room, almost like they were standing in snow.

Pandora looked around, trying to keep her head calm and to look at the big picture - but the heavy sound of her heart clouded her judgement. The cold tried to get a hold of her, but she had spend time in the cold before. Then Astrid's voice pushed her back to reality. "Magic.. wait.. you are a freaking witch?" She lashed out her arms, but rolled her eyes before creating a ball of fire between her hands that lighted up the room. Then she fired it at the door with a force strong enough to open the door. Pandora had never been scared of breaking things, and now wasn't going to be the time. Then the lamps in the house lighted up with their calm orange-like lights. Pandora looked a little around before letting her doe eyes rest on Astrid. "I swear, if you play anymore of these tricks. I'm gon-" she was interrupted by a sound from upstairs.

Pandora just stood there and watched the witch run off up the stairs. "Bloody hell," she mumbled, "typical witches," she added before walking out the room. She looked up and took a deep breath. Then she looked at the door. Pandora could go and just leave this house for good. She heard the witch yelling if someone was up there. "Screw this," she whispered to herself before walking up the stairs. She placed the hand on the wall absorbing some of the energy from the house - it was a weird energy. Like nothing she ever had felt before.
"Are you sure we shouldn't just make a run for it?" She asked Astrid with a low voice.

"Witches," she mumbled once more and sighed heavily as she watched Astrid walk into the room. Was she stupid? Couldn't she just listen? A scream made Pandora automatic run to the door as it slammed in her face. Pandora hammered on the wooden door with her fists. "Astrid!" She yelled and kept on slamming on the door as it would open by her command. The respond she got from Astrid, however didn't sound as if it was coming from the room, more on the lower floor.  "Okay house, I'm done playing nice," she used her magic to open the door and realized Astrid wasn't there. She stepped in and looked around. "Astrid?" It was dark and the only sound was her heartbeat racing. Then the floor disappeared under her feet as well and she felt herself fall. But then stopped the second before hitting the ground. It was times like this she was thankful for her abilities. "What is this place?" She landed on her feet and looked around. It looked like an old lab. "Someone was making bad things down here," she mumbled to herself. She knew a lab when she saw one. "My parents would love this place," she said mostly to herself in an empty voice.

"Perhaps, you clearly grew up sugar coated. Didn't you?" She snorted a bit to herself as her eyes analyzed the room. Pandora's parents wasn't the type to create monsters, but one of her mothers friends surely did. It didn't surprise her that Astrid wanted to get out, even Pandora wasn't in the mood for more surprises. As te witch looked at the paintings and drawings, it made Pandora follow her gaze. It was gruesome and way to detailed. "You think this is funny, huh?" Pandora responded to Astrid trying to pull a joke. Out of sudden. Pandora froze and looked just behind the blond witch.  It was like there was a little girl standing in the corner of the room, hiding in the shadows. That smile. She smiled in a way that made the hairs on Pandoras arm raise and a made a cold wave shiver down her spine.
"There is someone behind you," the fairy whispered underneath her breath. She didn't look at Astrid, what if she lost the sight of that girl. The girl moved a finger towards her lips, to tell Pandora to stay silent.  She couldn't be more than twelve.
