brutal​ ​ and​ ​ Augusta,​ ​ ME,​ ​ was​ ​ not​ ​ ready
for​ ​ what​ ​ was​ ​ going​ ​ to​ ​ happen.
In​ ​ the​ ​ pumpkin​ ​ patch​ ​ the​ ​ pumpkins​ ​ were
all​ ​ ready​ ​ for​ ​ Halloween​ ​ and​ ​ to​ ​ get​ ​ an
owner.​ ​ It​ ​ was​ ​ the​ ​ one​ ​ night​ ​ ​ a ​ ​ year​ ​ they
could​ ​ come​ ​ to​ ​ life.
“Of​ ​ course​ ​ the​ ​ one​ ​ day​ ​ a ​ ​ year​ ​ we​ ​ can
come​ ​ to​ ​ life​ ​ we​ ​ can​ ​ also​ ​ get​ ​ taken.”​ ​ said
Venus’s​ ​ sister​ ​ Ali
Venus​ ​ was​ ​ the​ ​ youngest​ ​ in​ ​ their​ ​ family
Dad​ ​ and​ ​ Anna's​ ​ older​ ​ brother​ ​ at​ ​ the
Lakewood​ ​ Pumpkin​ ​ Patch.​ ​ The​ ​ big
green,​ ​ and​ ​ orange​ ​ sign​ ​ said​ ​ “welcome.”
The​ ​ Mirro's​ ​ have​ ​ been​ ​ coming​ ​ to​ ​ this
pumpkin​ ​ patch​ ​ since​ ​ the​ ​ twins​ ​ were
one.
“Ten​ ​ dollars​ ​ please.”​ ​ said​ ​ the​ ​ girl​ ​ in​ ​ the
red​ ​ shirt.
“Here​ ​ you​ ​ go.”​ ​ Sarah​ ​ exclaimed.
HONK,​ ​ HONK! “I​ ​ used​ ​ to​ ​ think​ ​ this​ ​ place​ ​ was​ ​ magical,”
said​ ​ Ana​ ​ with​ ​ a ​ ​ sigh​ ​ “but​ ​ now​ ​ it's​ ​ just​ ​ a
pumpkin​ ​ patch.”
Scarlet​ ​ Bill​ ​ walked​ ​ out​ ​ of​ ​ the​ ​ house​ ​ with
brown​ ​ boots​ ​ and​ ​ an​ ​ orange​ ​ shirt.​ ​ She
hopped​ ​ in​ ​ the​ ​ car​ ​ and​ ​ smiled​ ​ at​ ​ Jenny. Jenny,​ ​ Ana,​ ​ and​ ​ Scarlet​ ​ had​ ​ been
friends​ ​ forever.​ ​ They​ ​ met​ ​ here​ ​ at​ ​ this
very​ ​ pumpkin​ ​ patch.
“​ ​ Hi​ ​ Mrs.Mirro,”​ ​ Scarlet​ ​ Bill​ ​ said​ ​ with​ ​ a
yawn,​ ​ ​ “ ​ ​ who​ ​ are​ ​ we​ ​ picking​ ​ up​ ​ next?” “Here's​ ​ the​ ​ perfect​ ​ pumpkin!”​ ​ Yelled​ ​ Bax
from​ ​ a ​ ​ far​ ​ away​ ​ corner.
“​ ​ Bax.”​ ​ sighed​ ​ Mrs.Mirro. “Ok.”​ ​ said​ ​ Ana
The​ ​ car​ ​ went​ ​ on​ ​ Dice​ ​ Street​ ​ and​ ​ slowed
down.​ ​ Dice​ ​ street​ ​ was​ ​ huge,​ ​ it​ ​ was
practically​ ​ the​ ​ whole​ ​ town. There​ ​ was​ ​ a ​ ​ note​ ​ on​ ​ the​ ​ pumpkin​ ​ stem
and​ ​ it​ ​ read:
Be​ ​ Careful 

“Venus​ ​ no!”​ ​ That​ ​ was​ ​ the​ ​ last​ ​ thing​ ​ she
heard​ ​ befoer​ ​ she​ ​ was​ ​ taken.​ ​ She​ ​ fell
asleep​ ​ on​ ​ the​ ​ car​ ​ ride​ ​ home.

3​ ​ minutes​ ​ later
“​ ​ Stop!”​ ​ screamed​ ​ Coal.
“​ ​ What?​ ​ What​ ​ is​ ​ it?”​ ​ yelled​ ​ Sarah.
“We’re​ ​ here.”​ ​ mumbled​ ​ Coal.
Sarah's​ ​ car​ ​ pulled​ ​ up​ ​ to​ ​ Bax​ ​ Hunter’s
house​ ​ with​ ​ a ​ ​ creek.​ ​ He​ ​ stumbled​ ​ out​ ​ of
his​ ​ doorway​ ​ into​ ​ the​ ​ car.​ ​ It​ ​ was​ ​ silent
until​ ​ they​ ​ met​ ​ up​ ​ with​ ​ Elliot’s

The​ ​ pumpkin​ ​ didn't​ ​ move​ ​ until​ ​ she​ ​ heard
a​ ​ faint​ ​ whisper.
Wow ​ ​ it's ​ ​ dark ​ ​ in ​ ​ here. ​ ​ What ​ ​ about ​ ​ some
light?
