1 Prologue

It's October, the month of Halloween. Others may think it's just dressing up and eating candies, but it's not. Halloween, it's the demon's festival, where Hell is unleashed, and so are my fears.

I would not dare to switch off the light at night, or do anything related to this festival in this month. I would just stay at home alone, away and safe from all the festive evils.

"Why am I like this?" They would ask. I would try to explain. On Halloween, the air around you lurks with evils, you could feel the spine-chilling presence of a demon in every dark corner. Halloween is when cults and idiots do their creepy rituals involving candles, knives and pentagrams. No matter how hard I try to explain, they'd just laugh and say it's all fake, I read too many books and try to get me out of the house again.

All these years, I've managed to reject them and remain safe...until this year-Until I met her.

Until I met Joy.

Joy, my classmate and best friend. When others have failed to understand and help me, she does not. No one ever understood me better than her. Yet of all people, Joy, JOY invited me to a Halloween party. I was sure she knew that I never did anything on Halloween, so, why invite me?

No one, not even my parents made me change my mind the slightest bit, but her invitation, it made me rethink my decision. Why?

That made me wrack my brain. 'Why?' I asked myself. To find an answer, I set off on a journey through my memories, my memories and thoughts of her.

Memories of Joy.
