mindcracklove | Halloween: Chapter Six of the story without a name!

Hehehe! It returns! That's right! It's back! Toddlercrack! And this....is....The Grand Finale! So without further ado. Enjoy!

It was Halloween, and Vechs was dressed as a construction worker. His Uncle Paul decided not to wear a costume, instead, letting Vechs have his limelight. "You ready to go bud?" Paul smiled as he grabbed Vechs' bat bag.

"I'm weady Uncle Paul!" Vechs excitedly yelled as he fixed the hat that was a size too big. The two left the house, meeting the night streets with happy smiles and wide eyes.

"So do you know your first stop bud?" Paul let Vechs lead.

"We gotta stop and get Auwey!" He excitedly said as he ran for the house across the street.

"Alright, lets go. Anyone else?" Paul followed closely.

"Well we gotta have Andewz." Vechs told his uncle with a smile as he knocked on the door. Paul just rolled his eyes with a smile. When the door opened, Aurey ran out, dressed in a pink princess dress. Her mother nodded to Paul and mouthed a time. Paul nodded back and let the children lead.

"To Andewz house!" They yelled in unison as they went running down the street. They stopped in front of the oddly decorated house, knowing it belonged to their foreign friend. They ran to the door, knocking like they were mad. Anderz opened the door with a smile, dressed like a Viking. He grinned and ran out by them, while his mother came to the door.

"He'll be back by ten, correct?" She looked at Paul with concern on her face.

"Yes ma'am. Ten." He said as she sighed with relief. The group was off, but not before Anderz took a horn from his helmet and blew on it, signalling it was time to trick-or-treat. They went from house to house, grabbing candy from all houses possible. Within a mere hour, Paul had to carry multiple bags of candy for his "flock". Vechs was having the time of his life with his two friends. After two hours, it was time to go home.

"Alright kiddos, it's time to go home." He told them and was met with sighs.

"But Uncle Paul! We don't wanna!" Vechs whined.

"Yeah Mistew Soawes!" The other two chimed in.

Paul steered them back towards their homes and told them, "Come on, it's nine fortyfive. We gotta get you guys home." The walk back was filled with yawns and whines. They stopped at Anderz home first, letting him go without him even saying goodbye. They walked down the street, but Vechs couldn't make it. He fell, a bit too tired to make it. Paul just smiled and lifted him up onto his back. He waved to Aurey as she ran to her house. She waved back just before going into her house. Paul carried Vechs across the road as the lil one drifted in and out of sleep. Paul navigated through the house, heading for Vechs' room. As he put Vechs in his bed, there was a knock at the door. This kind of snapped Vechs back to reality. Paul didn't notice and rushed for the door. Vechs started to listen as the door opened.

"Sir, are you Paul Soares?" The foreign voice asked.

"Yes officer, what's wrong?" His Uncle returned a question.

"Sir. We've found them. The boy's parents." The officer didn't sound happy.

"What!? Where?! How are they? When will they be back?" Paul sounded excited.

"Sir....the plane went down on an island. The wreckage was too much. There were no survivors." The officer went quiet. Vechs could hear a quiet sob growing from the living room. He couldn't help himself but to go investigate.

"Uncle Paul?" He quietly said while kind of hiding behind the corner.

Paul peeked back and wiped a tear from his eye. He motioned Vechs over who happily obliged. He pulled Vechs into a hug. "Your Mom and Dad are staying on vacation bud." Paul tried to hide his sorrow.

"Mom and Dad died. Didn't they Uncle Paul?" Vechs bluntly put it.

"Yeah bud. They did." Paul let his tears go, with Vechs sat comforting his uncle. Somehow, he was the strong one.
