Trick or Treat

TRICK OR TREAT

It's Halloween today. Dipper and Mabel were out trick or treating. "I need candy, I'm hungry." Said Dipper. "Me too." Said Mabel. So they both started walking to houses. At the first house, they got some candy. At the second house, they got chips.

After an hour of going to houses, they came to the last house. "Ding Dong"
"Hello there..." An old granny dressed up as a witch said. "Trick or treat!" Dipper and Mabel said. "Just wait right here..." The old granny said as she walked away from the door. Then after 10 seconds, she came back without candy. "Oh no it looks like I ran out of candy! BUT WAIT! I have more in the attic. Um... actually it is really heavy... would you just come inside to bring it out for me?" Asked the old granny. "Um... ok." They both said. "This way..." The old granny said as she walked towards the stairs.

She then went upstairs and walked down the hall. There was a door leading up to the attic. "Up here..." She said. So she opened the attic door and the stairs came out, she pointed up at the stairs and the kids went up.

It was all dark. "Where is the light? I can't see anything!" Asked Mabel. "Oh the light is kind of broken... but the candy box is right by that window..." Said the old granny. So Dipper and Mabel both walked slowly towards the window where there was this big dead tree outside. "Where?" Asked Dipper. Then all of the sudden, they heard the door close.

"Hello?" Said Mabel. So they ran to the door.
"IT'S LOCKED!" Said Mabel. "LET US OUT!" Yelled Dipper.

They then heard glass break behind them. "WHAT WAS THAT?!" Yelled Dipper. They both turned around and saw branches of a tree starting to come inside the attic. "AHHH!" They both screamed. Then the branches kept coming closer to them. And then, it grabbed them!

The dead tree held them by it's branches. It then took them outside and INTO THE TREE'S MOUTH! "AHHHhhhhh........." And then the sound of screaming was gone.

After they were eaten by the tree, the witch came out of the house and put a bucket under the tree. Out came this red coloured sap. "Hehehe... more maple syrup for me or... human syrup hehe he he hehehehh!"
