I didn't have the time or I would have written this for the Halloween Contest. I hope you enjoy. All characters are purely fiction and are at least 18 years of age.

Harold Hennessy knew the conditions would be treacherous, but he promised his wife Amelia that he would be home in time for their anniversary dinner. His business meetings had taken him three hours away from his cozy suburban home. Now, he had to drive home in a torrential downpour with 40-mph winds that were gusting higher. With the daylights savings time done for the year, it had also gotten darker earlier, which made visibility that much poorer given the conditions.
Harold figured he still had another two hours until he arrived at home. He tried calling Amelia, but couldn't get a signal on his cell phone. To make matters worse his only way home was on back roads that were poorly lit. The super highway didn't run anywhere near where he was traveling. At about 8:05 pm, Harold spotted a car coming in his direction. It was the first car he had seen on his entire trip home. The car seemed to be moving too fast and had its high-beams on too boot. The road began to curve and the car crossed into Harold's lane. Harold quickly swerved his sedan to avoid a collision, but went off the road and down an embankment before slamming into a tree.
Having blacked out, Harold awoke moments later and felt the taste of blood on his lips and he felt a small stream of blood trickle down his forehead. His head ached and his ribs felt sore. Thankfully, the rain had slowed a little, so Harold crawled out of the wreckage and looked around. The surrounding area was nearly pitch black, but Harold spotted what looked like two shadowy figures moving quickly towards him.
"Are you all right?" One yelled out.
"I think so," he yelled back, "but I'm not really sure.
"Just stay there, we'll come to you," the other figure shouted to him. The rain had started to pick up again and Harold was quickly getting soaking wet. The figures got closer, enabling Harold to see that they both had umbrellas. As they got even closer, he realized that the people were women. Just as the duo approached him, Harold suddenly collapsed. Luckily both women grabbed him by the arms before he completely fell to the ground.
When he woke up, Harold felt disoriented. He was no longer outside in the rain, but instead was in a dimly lit room. He felt foggy and wondered if he had suffered a concussion. He then realized he felt a warmth penetrating his body and saw he was sitting in a hot bath. It was an old style clawfoot tub that was set up next to a roaring fire that crackled as it threw off its heat. For the first time in a long time, Harold felt at peace. It was then that one of the women entered the room.
"Ah, you're awake. How do you feel?"
"A little sore and my head hurts, but considering all things, not too badly.
"That's wonderful. Oh, pardon my manors. My name is Celia and that was my sister, Corrine that was with me outside."
"I'm Harold and thank you so much, Celia. If not for you and your sister I don't what would have happened to me. I couldn't get a phone signal in this storm. Oh no, my wife will be so worried about me. Can I use your phone?"
"I'm sorry, all the phones were knocked out by the storm. That's why we have candles lit everywhere. It knocked all of the power out. Thankfully, we have a generator that keeps the food cold and the heat on." As she spoke, Harold realized how beautiful Celia was. She had long blonde hair that went halfway down her back, full breasts, and the nightgown she wore, though old fashioned looking, hugged all her wonderful curves perfectly. Just then, two more women entered the spacious room.
"Ah, this is Corrine now with another of our sisters, Chloe."
"How many sisters do you have?"
"There are five of us all told."
"Candice and Constance will be joining us shortly," Corrine said.
"That's very nice of you. I guess your parents liked the letter 'C'," replied Derek. Celia lowered her head and looked sad. "I'm sorry, did I same something wrong?
"Our mother's name was Carolyn. She died many years ago in a car accident. She and our father Thomas named all of us girls with the letter 'C' to match her name," replied Corrine.
"I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to bring up painful memories."
