This is my entry for the Literotica '
Halloween Contest, 2019
'. Halloween is of course October 31 and while the modern day holiday gaiety has its origin in the US many other countries have (often begrudgingly) adopted it.
This is a stand-alone story although that doesn't mean it has absolutely no relationship to any of my other stories. It's an origin story along with the Halloween hijinks but it's up to you, my faithful readers, to discern more on that.
This story portrays scenes of violence and death that some readers might find uncomfortable.

The Black Cat
"Hey, Dave," Jeanie's voice projected upward directly at his ear, she faced the opposite direction as she stood on his left side with Roger on her other side, "check out the hot brunette just walked in."
He lifted a can of beer from the ice chest and pushed the lid down then turned to face the entrance across the large careworn wooden dining table and the entryway to the front door.
"Oh, hey, Jeanie," Dave said, "who the hell is that?"
The woman was tall, five six or more likely five seven, and that would be without what were at least five inch spike heels on her knee-high black boots. She was thin, without broad hips but large breasts. She wore a skin-tight black suit that was latex or leather, Dave couldn't tell from the distance, but it was high necked and long sleeved and she wore black gloves. The dozen or so other people on this level of the old house had also turned and conversations had dimmed. Only the woman's mouth and chin were visible, her lips deep red, the rest of her face obscured by a mask as black as the rest that covered her face and head and ended in two peaked, vertical ears. Her eyes were dark and revealed little.
She took a few steps and appeared to minimally acknowledge a few folks, who mostly went back to prior conversations or simply followed her with the eyes. She looked up the stairwell to her right, Dave's left, continued what looked to Dave like an inspection. She veered toward to her left, looked the opposite way into the open door of the bedroom, Dave knew a few people were in there but mostly to use the bed for additional seating.
For now at least.
The cat woman neared, looked into the kitchen where voices went silent. She turned, looked at Roger, Jeanie and Dave.
"I'm Dave, plenty of beer here, and other stuff, this is Roger and Jeanie," Dave said as the trio shifted away to allow access to the ice chests and the large wooden dining table arrayed bowls of potato and corn chips, every cheap dip known, a couple of large platters of sliced veggies and well-picked-over platters of sliced deli meats.
"Cat," the woman said matter of factly, nodded. She walked into the kitchen and Dave nudged past Jeanie and Roger to reach the passage to the kitchen.
He didn't see her, heard what might've been a door closing out of sight. The only other way out was down a half-flight of stairs to a landing then another half-flight into the basement. Or directly out the back door from the landing. He felt his body deflate slightly and heard light laughter from Roger and Jeanie. The level of conversation in the large combined rooms had picked up again with the black spectre's disappearance and a few additional costumed arrivals had enlarged the crowd..
Then Jeanie and Roger's eyes went back to the front door, Dave turned. Oh. Peter. Finally. Dave followed as Roger and Jeanie led the way to meet him in the open entry foyer that separated the dining area from the front porch.
"Where's your succubus? Carole, right?" Jeanie asked as she gave Peter a quick hug, her tall red cap rubbed against the side of his head and he returned the gesture with his right arm and held a twelve-pack of beer in his left hand.
"Yeah," Roger and Peter shook hands, "thought we'd get to meet her?"
"Don't know, don't care," Peter said with a level of vehemence that startled the couple and even Dave who trailed a few steps, "not planning to see her again."
"Oh," Jeanie moved forward and hugged him again, spoke softly, "sorry to hear. She not giving up the goods?"
She leaned her head back with a toothy grin, Peter's mordant smile confirmed.
"Well, hey," Roger said as his girlfriend loosened her grip, "you should've just seen the cat woman that came through. She'd have cured your ills. If you could've gotten Dave out of the way."
"Saw her first," Dave said as his and Peter's eyes crackled at each other, "I'm betting she's more into us WW Two folks, you're looking a bit, uh, vintage."
"Does it really count as a costume if I wear this getup to classes?" Peter's question, his Great War quilted and lined leather jacket over his anachronistic camo pants, an element shared with Dave. He had an antique white silk aviator's scarf around his neck and perched on his forehead a pair of WWI-era goggles with a leather strap and round metal frames that held clear glass lenses.
"I don't know, Dave," Roger said as the four stood in a small circle, "I think your goggles are kind of boring, I mean, just square. Peter's are funkier. Although the fur on your jacket's a bit wilder. In any case, there's a chick over there dressed up as Bonnie, with the whole Twenties getup. Maybe you two could, you know, average it out with her."
His three companions shifted to try and not be obvious, saw the dark red cloche over light brown hair that fell loosely around her shoulders and upper back. She wore a Bonnie Parker mask and a red dress that was to any of their eyes an excellent match to any Roaring Twenties dresses they'd seen in movies or documentaries, red tights and brown over the ankle boots with buckles.
"That's one of the nicer costumes here," Jeanie said, "she looks really good in it."
