Happy Halloween everyone. This is my first contest story and the first
Halloween themed story
I have written. As usual, if you are familiar with my other stories, it involves my favorite ingenue Kitty and it is of course, a story involving non consent, though perhaps not quite as dark as some of what I've written previously.
I really hope you enjoy this, and I would love it if you would vote for me. Also please feel free to make any comments, I really love hearing from you, my readers. If you do like it and you don't already follow me, please do. And, as always, Thanks for reading.

Kitty was excited that October had finally rolled around. Fall was her favorite season. The leaves changing colors, the air grew cooler and was filled with so many scents. Cinnamon, Vanilla, the smell of cookies and cupcakes, Pumpkin Spice (although even Kitty admitted that one was overdone). But most of all she loved the decorations and celebrations. Halloween in October, Thanksgiving in November and all leading up to the big Winter celebration of Christmas. Simply put, this was the best part of the year.
This October Kitty was doubly excited. Not only was Halloween probably her favorite of the holidays but this year she was really getting into the spirit by working at the local Haunted House. They had really pulled out all the stops for this one. The group in charge had purchased a piece of property with a large and mostly abandoned warehouse on it.. They had spent a couple of months cleaning it up and refurbishing it, getting it ready for Halloween. It had been quite a task. There were dozens of broken windows that had to have all glass shards completely removed and then had to be carefully boarded up There had been homeless people living in the place from time to time and all of the remains of their campsites and garbage left behind had to be thoroughly cleaned out.
Then there was the logistics of turning several huge open spaces into smaller rooms and corridors to lead unsuspecting guests through. Themes for each area, special effects and props, lighting and sound. It had been a huge undertaking. Kitty had actually started working on the project in August and it was only now, a week into October that they were ready to open to the public. It had really been exhausting work, but Kitty had loved every minute of it. She was never one to shirk from hard work and she was certain that the end result would be worth it.
One thing had happened during the renovations that had given her a little pause. The warehouse was two stories tall, and they planned on having the haunted house fill both levels. While they were cleaning out the first floor however, they had come across a large metal door. It had been locked and none of the keys they had received from the owners opened it. They had asked but no one seemed to know what the door was or what was behind it. For a while, they considered trying to force the door or break it down, but in the end, they had decided that the rough and rusted look of the door along with its rather archaic looking lock was a great visual set piece and they just left it as it was.
It was decided that the area that housed the strange door would be set up as a dungeon/torture chamber. Racks, iron maidens, whips and chains fit perfectly with the aesthetic of the door. In her 'real life', Kitty was a graphic designer and freelance artist, and she helped design several of the set pieces for that area. She was quite proud of her work.
The room was a long, wide area that they had filled with several medieval and sadistic looking props that they had gotten from a local theatre company. There was a blood-stained table with chains and manacles at the corners and a half nude torture victim writhing on it in pain, their body covered with lash marks and long cuts. A large rack where victims could be chained and stretched stood against one wall. It only had a bloody arm hanging from one of the cuffs. A saw-toothed sawhorse of rusted metal stood in the room, and in one corner, an honest to goodness iron maiden, complete with blood splattered interior and rusting spikes. Of course the spikes were just rubber, painted to look like metal, but the illusion was very effective.
There was an operating table with appropriately gory scalpels and bone saws and a particularly disgusting blood and puke-stained sink along one side of the chamber and of course a deranged chief executioner, bare chested, head covered in a black hood who would leap out into the crowd, searching for new victims.
There were other rooms throughout the haunted warehouse, each with its own horrific theme. There was the suburban kitchen, straight out of the mid 70's with an avocado green refrigerator and a deranged housewife chopping up the family dog on her gore caked cutting board while her dismembered family sat chained around the dining room table.
Then of course there was the haunted classroom. A sallow eyed youth dressed in a blood spattered Bart Simpson costume stood at a blackboard writing "I will not torture my classmates" a hundred times while the desks in the room were filled with the horrid examples of his work. The crazed teacher sat behind her desk, screaming, having gouged out her own eyes.
These and many more filled the warehouse from top to bottom. Kitty was delighted with every gore soaked, scream inducing terror that lay within. She really loved this season!
Opening night festivities were in full swing and Kitty was fully into her role as hostess and guide through this house of horrors. She had decided to go classically sexy and a little slutty, and had dressed as Elvira, the hostess with the mostess, as Cassandra Peterson had always called herself. Kitty wasn't exactly as tall and thin as the true Elvira, but she felt she filled out the black clingy silk costume quite well.
Kitty was about five foot six and about twenty pounds over her ideal weight, but she held most of that in her firm but bouncy rounded ass and her very well endowed 36DD chest. She had naturally curly black hair to about her shoulders, but to complete the Elvira look she had opted to pin it up and wear the traditional ass length straight black hair wig.
She had carefully applied her makeup, using powder and foundation to make her skin just a bit paler and had embellished her eyes with carefully applied mascara and long fake eyelashes. She cemented the look with a glossy red lipstick. That final touch may not have been completely Elvira, but she thought it made her look a little hotter and just a bit slutty. Perfect!
The costume seemed to be working. She got a lot of comments as well as catcalls and whistles, both from her co-workers and from the crowds. Part of that might have been because she had cut her dress about an inch and a half deeper in the cleavage department and was fairly bursting out of her costume. No one seemed to mind however, except for perhaps a few girlfriends of some of the male guests who gave her an icy glare and just held a little tighter to their boyfriend's arm. Kitty just laughed and blew several of them a kiss. She was having the time of her life.
She was also aware of several covert pats and gropes on her ass and boobs as the crowds filed through the various rooms and were startled by jump-scares and other frights. Occasionally a hand would slide across her ample rear or a slightly more handsy guest would accidentally bump into her and grab a quick squeeze of her tits. She handled all of that professionally, stepping away or politely moving the hand off of her if it lingered, but really, she didn't mind all that much. She was secretly very happy that she was receiving all this attention.
The night was a wild success. Crowds were larger than they had first predicted, and Kitty worked into the wee hours of the morning. As 2 AM approached, the show finally announced that this was the last walk-through of the night and that they would be shutting down in ten minutes. The sepulchral voice of the announcer told the crowd that they could return tomorrow, if they dared.
Kitty led the last few guests to the exit and bid them all a "Bad Night" and "Unpleasant Dreams". Then she locked the doors and headed back towards the employee's green room. She could talk with the others and compare notes on the evening, change into something a bit more comfortable and get ready to head home for a few hours well-earned sleep.
As she walked through the now mostly deserted warehouse, lights began to shut off, or come on in some of the employees' hallways. Music was turned off, sound effects wound down. Soon it was just another dark and shadowy warehouse. It didn't bother Kitty. She had spent so long cordoning off sections to make these rooms and building the sets, she could walk through this place even in complete dark.
She reached the dungeon/torture chamber area and stopped. There was a soft reddish glow coming from the room. Had someone forgot to turn off a light? She walked in and looked around. Everything seemed in place and quiet. Then she noticed the big, strange metal door. It was standing ajar, and the red glow was coming from behind it. Had someone finally found a key to unlock it after all? More curious than frightened, she moved towards it.
As she reached the door, the red glow seemed to intensify and washed over her. She could feel its warmth as it surrounded her, almost caressing her. The sensation sent tingles throughout her body and she could feel her nipples harden. She shivered involuntarily and took a hold of the doors edge. The light was warm around her, but the door was ice cold. She gritted her teeth and pulled it a little further open so she could see what was behind it.
Stretching back behind the door was a short hallway, bathed in that warm, red light. About ten feet in she saw that the hall ended in a flight of stairs going down. She hadn't realized that this building had a basement. She stared at it for a moment longer and was about to leave and go get some of the others when she heard a whispered voice call her name.
"Kitty."
She strained to see if she had actually heard that. Was one of the other workers already down there looking around?
"Hello?" She called out, not too loudly. "Is someone there?"
"Kitty." Again the whispered voice called her name.
Kitty took a step into the hall and peered into the dim corridor.
"Hello?" She called out again, this time a little more loudly. "Who's there?"
The light seemed to dim and flicker and then reassert itself, but in a darker red. As the light played over and around her Kitty felt like something was brushing her skin ever so lightly. It stroked up her arms like a feather lightly gusting against her in a breeze. It brushed over her already stiffening nipples, adding a subtle ache to them. She felt it like a warm breath on her neck. She shivered and slowly took another step in.
