The next moment a sign appears by the side of the waterfall.

“Sorted,” Temp says.

“With the holograms in the trees, this walk will be amazing,” I say, suddenly having a thought. “Wait, does the town have merfolk? How did I not know this?”

“No, we don’t have any merfolk, but I’m sure we can get some people dressed up and in there,” Adhan says. “If not, I’m sure I can hire some from somewhere.”

“Are the hologram people putting speakers around the forest with moaning and screams of pain?” Sion asks.

“I’d not thought of that,” Adhan admits. “I’ll ask them if they can do that, if not, I’m sure you lot can do something.”

“We can,” Titus replies for all of us.

We walk the rest of the woods, adding things here and there.

I also randomly add a disco section. It has a mirror ball and a dance section that will play disco hits.

Adhan looks at me and shakes his head.

“What?” I ask, innocently.

“Nothing, sweetheart,” he says, laughing as the others debate if disco is really a Halloween thing.

It’s disco, you can make that fit anything. Just to prove a point, suddenly The Monster Mash starts playing. ~I was working in my lab ~

“Yeah okay,” Cassie says. “The disco works.”

I grin at him. “Discos always work,” I mean they are discos, why wouldn’t they work?

“We’ll have different paranormals in the woods, it will be different each evening. I’ve even managed to get Shamus to agree to play in the woods, carrying a crock of gold,” Adhan says.

“Does he not usually take part?” Nix asks.

Adhan shakes his head. “No, he refused to do the house, but said he would play in the woods this year.”

“What happens if someone captures him?” Cassie asks.

“No idea, I can’t wait to see what will happen if someone does though,” Adhan replies.

We finish the walk and I look around. “We should have a drink and food station here, plus some benches. I’m sure people would like something at the end of the walk.”

Adhan nods. “I’ll check with Elliot and see if he has a spare food truck, if not I’ll look at hiring one in. As for the seating, I’ll let you guys handle that.”

The next moment picnic tables appeared, along with a fire pit.

“Thanks,” Adhan says. “The house decorations should be pretty much finished today. Can any of you come and help with the house tomorrow?”

“I can tomorrow morning,” I say. “Pretty sure Callum can as well.”

“I can help tomorrow as well,” Sion said.

“I have a paper to finish, but if I finish in time, I can help,” Cassie offers.

“I have some Zoom meetings, so I’ll be tied up all day,” Titus says.

“Jodie has the day off tomorrow, so Sal and I will be busy in the shop,” Nix adds.

“I’m sure between me, Callum and Sion we can sort the house out,” I say. I can’t wait to play in the house.
