The festivities this time of year are always the most boisterous and large. Halloween night, this night when all the ghouls and goblins, vampires and werewolves and all the creatures of the other worlds come into ours to play. The massive mansion that stood at the far end of the city limits was always the prime location for all events big and elegant. The house was magnificent, 3 stories tall, white in color with a plantation style columned porch wrapped around the outside of the house. Half the yard was perfectly trimmed and maintained grass lawn with walk paths lined with bright flowers all around. The perfectly maintained lawn ran to a dead halt at a line of trees, the entrance to a forest. Decorations were scattered around the lawn and house for the occasion, Halloween was the favorite holiday of the owner, always the largest and most decorated party. Ghosts hung from the ceiling of the pouch, spider webs scattered along on the columns with large fake spiders all around it. The lawn had zombies and skeletons all over digging themselves out of the lawn clawing up into the sky.
I loved this day, you could feel the magic in the air as the creatures all awoke and stretched out. This year I was dressed as a druid, sleeveless brown leather shirt with matching pants and a midnight black cloak that ran down my back. I had painted ancient tattoos across my face and ruins down my arms and in my hand clutched a long wooden staff. As I near the door my senses are hit with the sound of music and the smell of the food and flashing lights that come from the house growing brighter as the sun drifts down past the horizon. I enter the building and am instantly surrounded with sound and movement, the place is already packed with bodies jumping to the music, grinding on each other, screaming to be hear in groups.
As the night progressed, I wonder between groups dancing to songs as they pass. I step off to the side for some fresh air and as my eyes graze over the crowd the world seemed to halt, music dims down to a low rumble, the bouncing bodies slow to a painful pace and blur as my eyes focus on her. In one heart beat I seem to have hours to look at her, taking in her beauty. She is a Viking, thick midnight black braid glides down her neck the tip of it resting just above her cleavage. A dark brown leather fitted half shirt wrapped around the upper half of her body cutting in the form of her body like a knife wrapping up and cupped her perfect breasts pushing them up. As my eyes fallowed the curves of her hips down to her matching leather skirt cutting off just under the curves of her ass with a ring of fur following the waist line and hips. Legs exposed, long and tan running down to knee high leather boots with animal fur across the top. War pain across her cheeks offsetting from the light tan flawless skin that creased to one side with a wicked smile as her hazel eyes lock onto mine one eyebrow raising, as if she can notice my heart hasn't made a beat yet. She winked as the whole world seemed to catch up, heart began to pound and she disappeared into the crown. I lunged through the crowd scanning around looking for even a glimpse of that girl again. For minuets I traveled between the masses of people pushing through the hordes of dancers.
I came to the far end of the party near the grand entrance dismayed that I had missed her, as I turn I found my lips pressed against warm bright red lips seeming to fit like a puzzle. As the warm embrace of her lips drift apart my eyes open to look into those blazing hazel eyes. "Michael" is all that I can muster to say barley audible to even myself, my eyes lighting up with mild frustration at that she laughed sending a chorus so beautiful to fill my ears craved nothing more.
