Halloween short story

The black cat twitched its tail twice. It hissed. Mare slowly began to back away. She didn't trust this cat. There was a moments pause. Then the cat began to change. Slowly but surely, the cat mutated into Mare's nightmare. The black cat stood up on its hunches, its back beginning to stretch upward. Its black fur melted away into a long black gown, long black hair falling over the pale girls shoulders. Mare's nightmare cat-girl stood up fully. She was a pale girl, almost translucent. Her limp midnight hair almost melded with her black gown. Mare stepped back, but stumbled over a root sticking up out of the ground. Mare cried out as she fell on her backside. The thin ghost-like girl stepped forward, her hair falling from her face. What Mare saw made her want to scream, but she found she had no voice. The girl's eyes were blood red with tiny pupils. Her cheeks were thin and bony, the cheekbones jutting out of her skin. Mare stumbled to her feet. "I've come for you..." the bone-thin figure said in a hollow voice. Then the nightmare girl rushed towards her. Mare turned and ran, screaming as she went. Mare ran for what felt like hours, though it was only about two minutes. As Mare was about to turn the corner, she rammed into a tall figure. "AAA!!!" She shrieked stumbling back. "AAA!!!" cried the slim figure she had run into. "Mare?" said the person. They stepped out of the shadows, and Mare could clearly see the curly red hair and freckled face of Harold Kowalowitz. It was only Harold. Mare looked behind her to see if the nightmare girl was following her. But there was nothing but the darkness of the street behind her.


I am hoping to use this in one of my stories, so please let me know what you think.
