Winning Stories

Scariest Story by danny#UU9YU of NA

Knock knock knock. The princess looked up at her front door.

“Probably some kids out on trick or treat”, she thought to herself. It was Halloween after all. She got up from her couch and went over to open the door. 

Stood before her was a cloaked figure, with a Jack O'Lantern covering its face. It wasn’t a particularly spooky costume, but for some reason it gave off an eerie feeling.

“Happy Halloween!” she started.

The figure stood there without responding. 

“Umm, Let me get you some choco-”

“Where is your guardian now?” 

The princess froze.

“Ex-Excuse me?”

“Where is your guardian now?” the figure repeated, his voice distorted. 

“I-I’m sorry, I don’t know who you’re talking about.” 

She closed the door. Feeling sick, she headed towards the bathroom. How did he know she was being guarded? She closed the bathroom door behind her and locked it. Still feeling nauseous, she slowly sat down in her tub.

Knock knock knock. 

Only this time, it was the bathroom door. 

Most Shocking Story by Isopog#0WR6U of NA

The knight falls to the ground, struggling to push herself back up on her feet. Trying to get up, the last thing she sees is a sharp set of teeth clamping down on her face.

---

Gasping, the knight jolted awake. In a cold sweat, she shakily stood up, trying to process how a dream felt so real. Still trembling, she went down the stairs. Once there, she realized that it was night time. Seeing a very rotten Jack O’ Lantern on her windowsill, she remembered that it was Halloween. As if on command, a scared knock on her door was heard, along with hushed whispers.

“G-guys, don’t be silly! I know this isn’t haunted! It’s not even spooky, no one will come to the do-”

As the guardian opens the door, the child drops her candy basket and runs off the porch, screaming.

Confused, she stepped outside of the doorway, looking around.  As she looked back at her house, her own face grew pale. Right in front of her house, a grave sat. It read:

R. I. P.

KNIGHT

NEVER FORGOTTEN

Most Suspenseful Story by Kujid#9TKLX of EU

It was after finishing a spooky Halloween documentary on Jack O’Lantern that the guardian decided to sleep. Slightly scared by the noises in the house, he hurried in his room to find the comfort of his bed and the warmth of the blanket. He felt his wife’s body in the bed and after a deep sigh of relief, closed his eyes. 

Only to open them wide again, realizing he never had a wife. 

He jumped out of the bed, pulled Libera out of its scabbard and asked with a shaky voice : « WHO’S THERE ??! »

No one but the silence answered that question. After a moment of hesitation, he nervously cut the bed in two, but quickly realized it was completely empty except for a small pumpkin smiley face that had had its smile cut by the fierce sword attack. 

As he understood that it was probably only a joke from Karina, he sighed with relief. 

Only to feel, in the back of his head the cold shiver of the wind entering the room through the window he could have sworn he had closed.

Staff Favorite Story by Pixels#V1HAW of NA

This was the season

Halloween was as spooky as it can be

Everyone in Kanterbury dressed for one reason

Pacing around the streets for a candy spree

Racing with kids holding Jack O’ Lantern baskets

Inside many houses were bowls full of sweets

Nearby three people started making bets

Cammie, the Guardian, and the Princess all having the sweats

“Everyone, the last person to leave the abandoned haunted house gets all of our candy”

“So leaving means you lose, and staying shows your bravery”

Slowly the party, in a single file line, heads to the ominous house

Inside the house floated a ghastly figure over them, he identified himself as Bob

“Step one step closer, and your life I will rob”

Doors slammed shut, and windows snapped closing

Even now, Kanterbury has dreaded this moment in history

All but one, escaped the house supposedly 

Deed is done, but can you guess, who was, the unlucky one?

/spoiler (read first letter of each line) 

We witch you a Happy Halloween!
