Chapter Text
Laura was running to Carmilla's house with a smile on her face, she got everything ready for tonight the only thing missing was her best friend, she knock on the door waiting patiently for someone to open the door after a few seconds Carmilla's mom open the door, no matter for how long she knows Carmilla her mother always made her feel uneasy.
“Happy Halloween,Laura” she said inviting the girl inside Laura walked in.
“Hi mrs. Karnstein, is Carmilla ready?”
“She's in her room, you can go” Laura thank her and went upstairs to Carmilla's room.
She knock on the door and open it an saw Carmilla having a hard time to tie the tie, she laugh and went to help her. “Let me help you, Carm”
“Thanks Laura, sorry we are late” Carmilla pouted and look at the floor.
“Hey, it's fine we still have time before all the good houses are empty” Laura said while she finished with the tie “all done, you have your wand?”
They’re were dressed as Hogwarts students, Laura wanted to be dressed as Hermione and Carmilla as Harry, but Laura only had a Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw robes, she gifted Carmilla the ravenclaw robe on her birthday last year.
Carmilla grabbed her wand from her bed.
“Your bag for the candy?”
Carmilla went behind the door and empty her bag back leaving her books and notebooks on her bed.
“Carm, that is not a halloween bag”
“I don't have anything else, besides is easy to carry and I have my hands free so I can eat my candy”
“Fine, now let's go I want my bag full of candy by the end of the night” Laura said holding her orange and purple bag it had a little black cat on it.
The two went downstairs when Mrs. Karnstein was waiting for them with a bowl of candy.
“I don't want any truck in my house” she said and gave the girls a handful of candy.
“Thanks mother”
“Thanks Mrs. Karnstein”
“Your welcome, now go out and have fun remember to be careful” she open the door and the two little girls went door to door saying trick or treating.
After a couple hours Carmilla got tired but Laura keep telling her that only four house left and they would enjoy their treasure, Carmilla rolled her eyes but continue walking. They were about the last two houses when Carmilla noticed the haunted house every kid was afraid of except for her she really wanted to know if the house was really haunted.
“Laura we should go to the haunted house” she said to Laura when they leave one the last houses, Laura's eyes went wide and stared shaking her head no.
“Are you crazy?! Why would we go there?”
“Because it's Halloween, and it would be fun”
“No Carm, you go and I wait for you outside”
“I want us both to go, aren't you a little curios about how is inside?”
Carmilla knew Laura was very curios since the day she meet her, that's how they actually meet, they were five and Carmilla was trying to get into the classroom since she forgot her favorite book but the door was locked she try to open it the way her brother told her but it was taking to long and the director could hear her, moments later she hear footsteps and drop everything in the moment she trip and fell on the floor she hear the footsteps closer and when she look up she saw Laura standing there asking if she was okay and what was she doing she explains her what was she doing and she say she could help her, turns out she had a key of the classroom since, in words of Carmilla, she was the teachers pet. They open the classroom and Carmilla grabbed her book and before the two girls could walk free the director saw them and got detention after that they started getting to know each other.
“Come on Laura, I swear nothing would happen”
They started to walk to the house Laura was a few steps behind Carmilla until she grabbed her hand.
“I… Are you sure is not haunted?”
“Laura I know is not, Will got in last year and said it was just an old house”
They I front of the house now, it looked pretty damage, it needed a good work of carpenter and paint the grass looked gray and dry, the roof had whole in it, the windows were broken. Just a typical old scary damage house.
“You ready?” Carmilla said taking Laura's hand, Laura nodded and both girls started to walk into the house.
The door was broken so it was easy to get in, the inside wasn't that damage, the big damage was the stairs it has steps missing, in the living room was whole, the furniture was dusty and they were probably spiders inside or under. Suddenly Laura hear something coming from the kitchen.
“Carm did you hear that?” Laura whispered.
“It's probably nothing or a mouse” Carmilla was hoping it would be one of those things, she wanted to be casual for the sake of Laura but been inside the house it was getting her a little scare, they hear the sound again this time a little louder.
“Carm, seriously I think there something in the kitchen”
“I told you is just an old house” Carmilla was on the living room looking at the missing part of the floor, “Laura come and see this, I think I see some old toys”
The noise came back and this time both girls froze in place, it sounded like someone was walking towards them the floor was creaking, the sound stopped after a few moments and Carmilla went to stand next to Laura at the top of the stairs taking her hand Laura was shaking and Carmilla tried to calm her down by rubbing her back, the creaking start again and in the seconds a cat was in front of them, both girls scream and run out of the house, the run until they reach the corner.
“I told you it wasn't haunted” Carmilla said smiling and trying to calm her breathing and heart beat, Laura punch her on the shoulder.
“It's not funny Carm, I really got scare”
She said with a pout Carmilla give we a hug.
“I'm sorry, come on let's eat our candy”
Laura smile at the idea and started walking towards Laura's house, Eileen was making dinner and baking cookies in shape of black cats and ghosts, she heard the door open.
“Hey girls, how your Halloween went?” She said stepping out of the kitchen takin her gloves off and putting them on the counter, the two little girls walked to the living room making space for their bags.
“It was great, until Carmilla decided to go to the haunted house”
“It's not haunted”
Laura rolled her eyes and both girls emptied they're bags on the floor in the living room, Laura's mom walked to them.
“Girls, you can only eat a couple remember it's late and you haven't had dinner” both girls groaned “now pick up the candy from the table and choose only four for after dinner”
Both girls frowned but did as told, Laura choose two chocolate bars, a lollipop and a package of sweet worms, while Carmilla choose two lollipops, a package of Hershey kisses and a chocolate bar. They clean the rest of the candy and put the selected four on top of each bag.
“I can't believe you got more chocolate than I did” Laura said while looking at Carmilla's candies.
“If you want, I can give you some” Laura gave her a hug and they went to the dining room and prepare for dinner.
After dinner both girls grabbed one cookie and went to the living room to watch a movie.
“Girls what movie should we watch this time?” Laura's mom said
“Shouldn't we wait for dad to come home?”
“Honey he had the night shift at the station” Laura pouted she hated that her dad was a police officer he always had the night shifts.
“Why don't we see Hocus Pocus?” Carmilla suggested, she hated seen Laura sad.
“We saw that one last year”
“I know, but it always make you smile”
Laura's mom put the movie and the three enjoy the movie thirty minutes later Laura was sleep and Carmilla was soon to follow, Eileen told Carmilla to go tithe bedroom while she grabbed Laura and take her to the bedroom, Carmilla took her robe off and did the same with her shoes and went to lay on Laura's bed moments later Eileen was neighing a very sleepy Laura, Carmilla got up the bed so she could lay Laura on the bed.
“Carmilla take her shoes off while I take her robe” Carmilla nodded and did as told, she later join Laura on the bed and lay by her side.
“Goodnight girls”
“Goodnight” Carmilla mumbled.
Eileen turn the lights off, Carmilla turn around and cuddle with Laura, while Laura lay her arms on Carmilla's waist and both girls drifted to sleep.
