Haunted Hollow: A Halloween Story
All throughout the cold night air Spirits shriek and goblins scare It is the day of All Hallow's Eve While graves and statues mournfully grieve. Now down the road and up the cleft A witch, of looks she doth bereft. She cackles, while her cauldron brews Which makes a tasty, ghostly stew The harvest moon is full tonight So come on out, and have a FRIGHT! It was the day before Halloween, and all throughout Pixie Hollow, fairies and sparrowmen alike were preparing for the spooky day. Cassie's Costumes was bustling, as pixies scrambled to get their last minute costumes. The Pumpkin Patch was lively too, because a Farmers Market was going on, and a lot of pixies were itching to get some apple cider before it went out of season. One pixie, however, wasn't preparing for Halloween in any way. She was doing what she liked to do best: explore. Her name was Clover Pinewings, and she was good friends with River Morningvalley. Clover was exploring along the edge of the Autumn Forest, keeping a keen eye out for a funny looking tree she had seen earlier while flying around. It was hollow, so Clover suspected that something strange might live in there. She was walking through the forest, when something lightly tapped her on the shoulder. "AAAAAHHHH!" She shrieked and spun around. River was standing there, looking gleeful. "Haha! You should've heard yourself scream!" River giggled. "Ugh, Ri-VER!" Clover rolled her eyes, then started laughing. "So, what's up?" "Oh, I just flew by to ask if you've got your costume already." "Well I do. I'm going as a goblin." "Ha! You're kidding! My friend Jenny is going as a goblin too!" "Nice. Well, if you don't mind, I have some investigating to do!" Clover said, and dashed off. "Wait!" River yelled. "I want to come too!" "Ok fine!" Clover smiled, and off they went! When they found the tree, it looked creepier than Clover had remembered. "Ugh! Wonder what happened to it." Clover shivered as they fluttered towards it. "Struck by lighting, maybe!" River said. "Maybe." Clover shrugged. They were at the base of the tree. When they look up, they could see a hole going into the tree. "Well, if we're going to find anything out, one of us has to go up there. " Clover said. "Yeah. One of us." "....." "...." "......." "Um, I'll go, I guess!" River volunteered. "Aw man, I was wanting to go!" Clover whined. "Then why didn't you say so in the first place?" "Well, I thought maybe if-" "You know what, forget it! How about we both go? That way, if one of us is attacked by a giant spider, the other can go get help!" River suggested. "Good thinking." Clover nodded, and they flew up to the hole. It was very dark inside the tree. Sometimes, one of them would get tangled up in cobwebs and the other would have to help her. It was eerily quiet as they climbed through the colossal tree. Suddenly, Clover screamed. She had fallen into a tiny hole near the base of the tree. It was a secret tunnel! "Clo, are you okay!" River exclaimed, turning around to help her friend. "Yeah, I'm fine, but I think I found a tunnel!" "Wow!" River said in awe once she had hoisted Clover out of the hole. "I wonder where this leads to!" "I don't know but let's go!" Clover declared. Down the passage way they went, until the sunlight had long diffused. "I didn't think it could get any darker when we were in the tree," Clover's voice echoed through the darkness. "But this corridor is almost pitch black!" Then, they saw a ghostly green light reflected on the dirt tunnel walls. "This cannot be good!" River gulped. But down the hall they kept going. All of a sudden, River and Clover entered a dank little chamber. They could feel the presence of many bodies. Then, the lights flicked on. "Happy Halloween!" Shouted 50 pixies. It was a surprise Halloween party! The radio sang "The Monster Mash" and all 52 pixies danced and partied! Halloween was such a great holiday! HAPPY HALLOWEEN! ~ Luna :Pumpkin: |

That was a fun pixie tale to read, River! If it was shorter in size, I could definitely imagine it being featured in the Pixie Postings this month.
At first I thought Clover and River were going to find a cave of goblins or gnomes, but pixies are better. I bet the fairies would shout out "Happy Holloween" instead!
