Seven

"Tilly?" I shout, trailing behind Logan with the flashlight. The six of us all search for the missing little girl in the dark streets of the neighborhood. "Tilly?"

"Tilly!?"

"Tilly?"

"Tilly please!"

"Tilly!"

I trip on some wet leaves and land on my almost entirely exposed butt. Logan turns around and grabs me. Even in the darkness I can see his concern for me. All I can do is laugh. That was really funny. Logan joins me in laugher once he realizes I am okay.

"I'm not sure what's so funny about our little sister being missing! Mom and dad are going to kill me!" Peter shouts, his voice cracking with sadness.

"You're right." Logan helps me off of the wet pavement and helps brush me off. "Don't worry dude. We will find her. She probably just saw a dog and wandered off to pet it." Peter nods as Logan slaps his shoulder to comfort him. "We'll find her."

"Is that her there?" I squint my eyes to see a young child sitting under a light post crying. As we get closer, I can hear that she is crying out for her mom.

"Well if it's not then it's another kid who is lost." Logan picks up speed. We all follow closely behind him to run up to the little girl.

"It is her!" Peter shouts

"Tilly!"

"Tilly!!"

"Tilly it's us!"

Tilly stands up and drops her little baggie of candy as we get closer to her. She opens her arms up and climbs into Peter's arms and continues crying.

"Are you hurt?" Peter asks, examining the little girl's body and costume. "Oh Tilly! I'm so sorry. I am so, so sorry baby." Peter hugs her and pulls her as close to him as he possibly can.

A wave of relief falls over me knowing that we have found Tilly and that she is safe now.

"I thought you you forget about me!" Tilly cries in his arms, her little hands playing with his dark brown hair.

"I would never forget about you T. Never. I love you!" Peter exclaims, crying a little bit himself. The kids all gather around Peter and Tilly and give them a big hug.

"You're shaking. Are you cold?" Logan wraps his arm around my waist and pulls me closer to him.

"Adrenaline." I reply with a shrug. You don't really have time to feel the brisk air of October when you are searching for a missing four-year-old in the dark on the scariest night of the year.

"You did good. I didn't even see her there." He says, kissing the side of my head.

"I wasn't even sure if that was a person or just a figment of my imagination. I'm not going to lie, I'm pretty drunk right now." I laugh quietly so the kids won't hear. Logan squeezes me tighter.

"Honestly, me too." He leans his head against mine and watches the kids talk about their adventure to find Tilly. "Alright," Logan releases me. "Let's get back home. It's getting late."

The kids all stand and begin running down the street towards their house. Logan walks ahead of me. "You coming?" He asks.

"Yeah."

Authors note: this concludes the Halloween chapter(s)! I'm sad that Halloween is over for this bunch but I think it's safe to say that they had a fun time.

What do you think?
