"Lady Eloise! Lady Eloise!"

I groan as I heard Stella and Veronica's voice

"Wake up, m'lady! It's already 4 PM, the event is already starting!" Stella said

I suddenly remember about today's event

The emperor announced that there'll be a Halloween party at the Imperial Palace

Everyone is going, of course, the whole street is busy decorating and there's also a lot of foods

"Here's the dress princess Shae ordered for you, lady Eloise," Veronica said and showed me the black dress with a red corset

"What am I supposed to be?" I asked

"Vampire." They both said in unison

I frown, I'm too old for this

They started to dress me and put on some accessories on me

"Oh wow, I must say, you look stunning, lady Eloise,"

I look behind me and saw Princess Shae wearing a greenish gown with a bit of red that looks like blood and her make up look like bruises

"What are you supposed to be, your highness?" I asked

She suddenly laugh, "I'm a zombie, silly,"

"It look realistic on you,"

"Thanks! Anyway, Celeste is a little vampire, both Shan and Elliote are bees."

"Bees?"

"Yup, I just thought it'll be cute on them but... both of them became a little bit grumpy about it, but they still wear it."

I chuckles, I wonder what my brother look like wearing a bee costume with his grumpy expression

"Oh, and I also prepared something for your servants,"

Their eyes brighten as Princess Shae showed the dresses to them

We all went to the hallway and meet Theodore and prince Severus

Theodore look like Frankenstein and prince Severus is.... well... he's a mummy

Princess Shae burst out laughing after she saw her brother

"My, that suits you so well." She teased

Raiden arrived along with Gabriel and of course, Augustus came as well

Raiden is wearing an ancient mage coat, Gabriel is wearing a cat costume, and Augustus is wearing a pirate costume

"Everyone will be arriving soon, we have to go to the imperial palace now," Princess Shae said

She manage to spot Elliote and Shan who tried to escape from us

Both of them wore a bee costume

I laughed as I saw their faces. Father like son, they both look grumpy

Celeste is with them and she waved at us, she look adorable wearing the vampire costume

I heard everyone giggles as they saw how they look like

Minutes later, we all arrived at the imperial palace

We met Khan and Khal who both wore a knight costume

"Eloise!!!"

They both run towards me and hugged me tightly as they can

I can't fcking breath

"We missed you so much!" Khal said "You look gorgeous tonight! I almost didn't recognize you!"

"How come you had so much energy?" I asked

"Well you know, I've been sleeping the whole day just to get ready for this event!" He exclaimed

"That energy didn't even possessed my body...." I mumble

"Look! We have a little gift for you," Khan said and handed me a small box

I opened it and saw a necklace inside it

"Wow, it's beautiful, thank you for the gift." I said

"You are very welcome."

"Anyway, how's that little girlfriend of yours?"

"Don't ever mention that again,"

Khal chuckles and tried not to burst his laughter

I spotted Thalia and Sera not too far away from us

Thalia is wearing a fairy costume while Sera is wearing a witch costume

Thalia saw me and smiled, she waved and I don't know what to respond back to her

Khal suddenly grabbed my wrist and offer me a seat on our table

The feast started, most of us eat the delicious meals that had been served and had a wonderful conversations

"Let's spice these up, what if, we tell scary stories?" Raiden suggested

"That's so cliché." Gabriel replied, "But I'm down,"

And then all of us agreed

Celeste and Shan was on the other table with their grandparents, the empress and emperor. Therefore, Elliote and Princess Shae is on the same table as us

Elliote still grumpy about his costume and didn't even bother to say any words

"C'mon, we have to go somewhere creepy," Raiden suggested

"This is so stupid," Gabriel said

"The only thing that stupid is you, lion boy." Stella said

"What the fxk?"

"I'm gonna go, you enjoy your little stories," Elliote said and leaves the table

"Is he upset?" I asked

"No," prince Severus replied

We went to the old room inside the palace

"Sorry, this room hasn't been used for a decade now, the chair is dusty but I can order the servants to get some chairs for us," Princess Shae said

Minutes later the chairs arrives,

"And we're all set." Raiden said "Who wants to go first,"

"Me," Khal raised his hands

"So I was visiting this great neighborhood, they had everything, and they're very nice, they offer some food as part of welcoming their visitors and that night when I went to the bathroom to take a shit, I suddenly heard a person singing. Now you may think it's not scary but, it's 3 AM and everybody should be sleeping during that hour. I ignored it but it's gotten worst when I saw a lady with no feet, she looks like floating and the next thing I knew that lady is looking towards me, it feels like I'm her prey and---"

"Stop!!! I can't do this," Gabriel said and grabbed Stella's arm

"Hey! Where are you taking me?" Stella protest

"I need companion, and someone that can take my orders,"

"Do I look like your maid!?"

"Doesn't matter!"

They both left the room

"I-I think I'm gonna g-go too..."

We all look at Theodore

"Wait.. doest it mean---" Severus didn't even finish his sentence

"Nope! I'm not scared!" Theodore cut him off

"I didn't say anything.."

Theodore's face became red, "P-Please excuse me...."

He left the room without looking at us

"Shall I continue?" Khal said

"Nope, your story is boring," Khan said "I have even better,"

"This happen a very long time ago, I went to a very prestigious school before with Khal but that school is already had cases of missing students before. One day, I went to a room that has never been used for a decade and suddenly saw a shadow, I ignored it because I thought it wasn't a big deal but then it suddenly sing a lullaby and sounded like she's looking for her baby. I was about to sneak into the room but a guard suddenly called me and told me students aren't allowed to go there. I asked him if why I can't enter the certain room and he respond that anyone who entered that room mysteriously disappeared and never been found ever again."

"Wtf, that shit is real?" Khal asked

"Of course, I witnessed it."

Khal hugged himself, "Geez, that's why everytime I passed that building, I feel something."

"Who's next?" Augustus asked

"I have one," Severus suggested

"This is the story I heard from my grandmother before she passed away. On the year XXXX, grandma was crowned as the Empress of Northen Empire. Inside the palace, she often heard a child crying---"

We all stopped when we suddenly heard a child crying out of nowhere

"Did you hear that?" Shae asked

Everyone agreed, a minute later, the child's sob faded away

"S-So.... w-what did she do after she h-heard something like t-that..?" Raiden was stuttering because of fear

"She then saw a body but with no head, she taught it was just an illusion but then---"

The lightning struck and we all saw a woman's shadow standing beside the window. Her body is facing us but she indeed doesn't have a head

It's a headless ghost!

All of us screamed and hurried to exit the room

. . . . . . .

Severus's POV

I laughed as I saw all their reactions

Celeste, Shan, and Elliote laughed as well

We successfully pranked them into thinking that the story is real

There's no such thing as headless ghost

"That for my wife who dressed me up as a bee," Elliote giggles

"By the way, that sobs is so natural, Celeste,"

"Thanks!"

The four of us stayed there and laughed for about a minute

"C'mon we shall hurried outside, all of them must be pissed by now." Elliote said and we exit the room as well
