Excerpt
Chapter 2
I could hear the wind whipping through the trees, as I got ready for bed. I had brought Fred upstairs to my room and put him on the windowsill. There was a full moon and it seemed to go right through Fred and gave him a spooky look. That couldn’t happen, could it? As I put my PJs on, the wind seemed to blow harder and howl in the night air. I scurried across the room and snuggled under the covers. I shivered as I watched the shadows move across the wall like ghosts hovering about. Why was I nervous tonight? Halloween isn’t until tomorrow.
I jumped as Black Pepper, better known as Peppy, my black cat catapulted upon my bed. Someone had put a white mask on him. After getting over my fright, I started laughing. He really looked like a Halloween cat. After snuggling with me for a few minutes, he sauntered over to investigate Fred.
I pounded on my pillow and starting thinking about tomorrow ---- and all that candy.
