An icy wind whipped her hair in front of her face as she struggled to get the bags holding her purchases into the car. In the twilight, Maggie could see the faint, colorful forms of the young trick-or-treaters down the street, visiting the houses not far from the small antique shop she was struggling to establish in this tiny Midwestern town. Her only friend so far was the older gentleman who ran the corner grocery store in the building next to hers. Looking behind her, she saw him locking the doors. He noticed her turn towards him and he waved for a moment before disappearing into his now-darkened store. Sighing, pushing her long brown hair from her face one more time, she slammed the hatch of her SUV closed and darted into the open driver's door. Certainly with this unseasonably cold weather, the youngsters she saw cross the street on the next block would not be out for long.
Taking a deep breath, briefly hugging her arms about herself and rubbing her arms to warm them, silently scolding herself for not remembering her jacket in her shop, she fumbled in her pocket for the key to the vehicle. Glancing at the dimly illuminated clock on the dashboard, mentally adding the time it would take her to prepare for the festivities planned for the evening, she shrugged as she realized she was already running late. Perhaps she should just skip the party - she wouldn't know anyone there anyway. As she extracted the key from her pocket, suddenly a large arm wrapped around her throat, the key ripped from her hand. Her throat almost crushed, struggling for air, weakly she clawed at the arm about her. In a moment, while she remained held, another figure moved from the back seat up next to her, crouching before her, determinedly and forcefully taking each of her hands and holding them on her lap.
Eyes wide with fear, with only the dim light of far-off streetlights illuminating the interior of her vehicle, as she gasped for air, she shuddered at the sight of his face. For it was not a man's face. It was a horrific ghoulish face. The figure ignored her reaction to her sight of him; and proceeded to take both her hands and firmly hold them in one of his. His other hand took the key and placed it on the floor beside him. Looking back up, his eyes locked with hers. Maggie had thought he was wearing a mask, but as she looked into them, his eyes glowed eerily green. Barely able to fill her lungs with enough oxygen to remain conscious, her chest struggling to rise and fall with each breath, the arm about her throat continued to hold her firmly
Mesmerized by the eyes of the intruder before her, her body jumped as she felt his fingers gently running up the inside of her thigh, from her knee, pushing her short skirt up. Then his hand left her leg and reached up to her right breast, first brushing against the soft fabric of her crisp cotton blouse, then grasping it's firmness before doing the same to her other breast. Eyes wide with fear, aware of her hardened nipples from the unseasonably cold air, Maggie winced as the figure grinned evilly at her… perhaps thinking he had caused such a reaction in her. Closing her eyes, hovering between consciousness and unconsciousness from the lack of oxygen, a loud voice jolted her back to awareness.
"GO. You are to proceed with your plans. Do not attempt to stray from your appointed path."
Maggie's eyes flew open as the booming voice filled her vehicle, her ears ringing. Gasping, filling her lungs, shaking in fear, she looked around in shock to find the figures gone. Gone! Stumbling out of her vehicle, she looked all around, up and down the street, but there was no one. Quickly jumping into the car once again, grabbing the key from it's resting place on the floor; Maggie slammed her door, locked it, and thrust the key into the ignition. Loudly revving the engine, she took off down the street towards her small Victorian house about 5 minutes away, shaking in fear, tears streaming down her face.
When she reached her house, Maggie sprinted to the door, deftly unlocked the often-stubborn antique lock, stepped inside and slammed and locked the door. For a few moments, she stood at the door, the length of her body resting against the tall, solid oak door. When her breathing had returned to normal, she straightened and slowly walked to the kitchen. Still a little shaky, she picked up her cordless phone and headed up the tall narrow staircase as she dialed. Waiting for an answer, she began to peel off her clothes… first kicking off her shoes, peeling down her thigh high stockings, slipping off her skirt.
Frowning to herself, taking the phone from her ear, Maggie pushed the button to hang up. "Hmm, that party must really be going well!" she mumbled to herself. Placing the phone on the bedside table, hands still shaky, she fumbled with the buttons on her shirt, then shrugged out of it and tossed it onto the hamper. Turning, looking across the room at herself in the tall antique standing oval mirror, she saw her nearly naked figure, tiny undies covering her neatly shaved pussy, hard nipples still pushing against the thin fabric of her bra. Well endowed enough not to need any of those new-fangled pushup bras, the bra she wore today was not the normal one she would wear to work. She had noticed several of the few customers, male and female alike, admiring her deep cleavage. Perhaps she should have buttoned one more button of her blouse. Perhaps those intruders were one of those customers! She had flirted just a bit with a very handsome gentleman who was interested in a large trestle table. Perhaps…
But she had not meant to return home after work. Her plans were to attend a Halloween party a business acquaintance was throwing. Now, a quiet night at home sounded much more appealing. What had they meant, anyway? Throwing herself onto the large four-posted bed, she lay back staring at the ceiling for a moment, considering. She ought to have called the police. She could do that now. But what would she say? They had not hurt her, at least not very much. They had not taken anything from her. Perhaps it was just a prank. That must be it….
As she lay thinking, rationalizing the strange incident, her hands strayed to her breasts, causing the now-relaxed nipples to harden again. She thought of that very handsome gentleman she had tried to make a sale to… the strong line of his jaw, the firmness with which he shook her hand, a body she would love to take the time to explore… closing her eyes and considering, lifting one knee up, one hand moved between her legs and stroked the outside of her pussy through her panties. Oh yes, she would very much like to…
"YOU ARE NOT AT THE PARTY."
The booming voice again! Maggie bolted upright, eyes darting around the room, though she could not see anyone or anything unusual. Frozen in position, unsure what crazy prank this was, an anger was building in her. She did not find it amusing at all.
"Who… whoever you are… this isn't funny!" Maggie blurted out, brows furrowed, trying not to let her fear show through. As if in answer, a cool draft moved through the room, and suddenly there were arms around her, the warmth of a body behind hers, hot panting breaths in her ear. Her scream was cut off as one of the arms moved up to cover her mouth, while the other savagely grasped one of her breasts and squeezed it tightly. In her ear, the figure whispered hoarsely, "you MUST go, you MUST! If you do not, I will be BACK!" With his words, he released his hold on her mouth to grab at her pussy, only for moment, and then she felt a hard wet kiss on her neck.
Then it was all gone. Not only was she released, but whoever.. whatever it was.. was gone. With angry tears, she ran to the windows, checked each one and found them all locked. Running through the small Victorian, she found all the doors and windows were locked. Slowly making her way back up the stairs to her bedroom, she contemplated. Why??? Why should she.. no … why MUST she go to the party. Well, it wouldn't hurt to be around other people right now. Hurriedly removing her costume from her closet, one she had worn numerous times though always enjoyed playing the role it thrust her into, she quickly removed her bra and panties and pulled on the loose-fitting blouse and voluminous skirt. The coup de grace was the tight-fitting corset. Arranging her breasts just so, and pulling the laces tight, in several minutes she looked up into the mirror to check her work.
