On an unseasonably cold Halloween Night, I was walking along the road, trying to get to my friend's house where a party was being held. The party was in honor of the fact that I had just purchased my first house and everyone was happy because finally the old General's house would have someone living in it. I had always loved that old house, and I had always said that I would buy it some day. I never really believed that I would have the opportunity to do it though.
When I rounded the corner I found, to my dismay, that there was a huge crowd at my friend's house. I was told that it was just going to be a small affair, but I guess I was mistaken. Before I can retreat and leave though I am grabbed and brought further into the melee. My friend spots me and comes over right away.
"I am so sorry! This was just supposed to be a small gathering, and then we were going to go over to your new place, but when everyone heard that you had bought the General's old place, they all wanted to come. If you would like to not have everyone at your place, that is very understandable."
I look around at the huge gathering and mentally shrug my shoulders. "I understand. My new house has been the neighborhood's eerie, creepy place since anyone can remember. I am just glad that I was able to buy it and get it fixed up so quickly. Just let me run home and get some things put out. If you want to come by at about 9:00, that would be great. I would love to show off the house."
"Mira...Everyone says that the place is haunted. Have you seen anything yet?" I laugh and shake my head. "There is a story that if a lady is alone there on Halloween, the General comes to visit her. He is looking for the witch that put the curse on him that gives him eternal youth, on Halloween and only on Halloween. It is said that if he can find her and make love to her, then he will be able to stay a young man and not return to the grave at the end of the night."
"Honestly, do you really believe in that? Just for that, I, a virgin, will stay there tonight and see if the General actually does come. If he does, I hope that he's in full uniform."
"Mira! How can you talk like that? I know that you are a virgin, but are you serious about staying there all night alone?"
"What is different about tonight than any other night? I have spent plenty of nights there alone and I have seen or experienced nothing. I am hoping that tomorrow morning will bring a changed lady to light. I am tired of being the last virgin in the area. I would love it if he would come and make me woman full and true." I can see that my friend is truly shocked at what I just said, but it is the truth. I am tired of still being a virgin. Maybe the General can take care of the problem tonight. Turning from my friend I make for the nearest door and exit the madhouse that is the party that she is hosting.
I practically run back to my house. When I get back I notice that there is a light on in the bedroom that I do not remember leaving on. Quickly I run up the stairs to the second floor. As I open the door to the bedroom, a part of me notices that it is not the electric light that is on, but an oil lamp that I left next to my bed. That wasn't the surprising part though. There was a young gentleman sitting on the end of the bed in period clothes. As I enter the room, he looks up at me.
"Please tell me that you are the one that I have been searching for." His voice has a wonderful soft Southern drawl to it that just makes my knees weak.
"I hope that I am. I have heard stories of the General. Are you him?"
"I am."
"Then please, do what you will to me and see if I am the one that you are searching for. I would have you make me a woman tonight, Sir."
"You are a virgin?"
"Yes."
"Then come. Let us make love and see if you are indeed the witch that has placed this curse on me."
"What must I do?"
Standing, he walks over to me and gently pulls me into the room further. Quickly he helps me out of my clothing and lays me down on the bed. "Just lay there and I shall do the deed. Spread your legs for me and I shall come to you. Close your eyes for I would not have you fearful of me. I am quite large for a virgin, and the last one was a terrible experience for she saw me and grew scared. I would have this be a night of pleasure, not a night of rape." Laying back on the bed I notice that he is a very good looking young man. The last thought I have before I close my eyes is that I feel so removed from what is going on. It almost feels like I am just a spectator watching all of this happen.
