The crisp autumn leaves cracked and crinkled against the pavement as happy shouts and joyful giggles of delight were a chorus among the air.
Oh how I love this night,where every trick is MY treat

Standing by an old gnarly oak, dressed in a long black dress with wavy ends and straight black hair was a woman who's smooth skin glowed in the moonlight. Vanessa, the whispers called her. She was always seen as a bit odd or unsettling, only coming out rarely to shop or meditate in the mountains  on foggy nights, always dressed in black and always on her own in an old creaky house.  There where whispers that weird creepy Vanessa knew magic.

And those whispers would be true, and on nights like this, especially Halloween night, were a time for creepy weird Vanessa to have fun if her own. One wouldn't call her, say a witch if hey knew what was in their best interests, but there were times Vanessa didn't mind such a term. But on is night she didn't prey on the youthful innocents frolicking about this night in joy. No she had a few others in mind.

There was a splat as eggshells and yolk smeared down the door of a house. There was a teen on the other side if some bushes keeping low as he reared another salvo. Vanessa observed this and curled her lips in a smile. so, you like throwing eggs huh?
She walked by swaying her hips and snapped her fingers, the kid hearing and preparing to run when he stopped. He felt pressure on his stomach and groaned, clutching it as white feathers began to pop out if his neck and arms. He looked through winching eyes as longer feathers formed on his hands as his lips and nose puffed out, hardening into a curved beak as his curly hair formed into a red fleshy comb. Bu this point the changing avian began to shrink into his hoodie with startled clucks and squawks as his pants fell revealing scaly legs and plumped feathery thighs.

Vanessa smiled to herself as she turned to her handy work, a white hen flapping out of the pile if clothing and squatting as a white egg emerged, cushioned by the fabric as a makeshift nest . "Maybe now you will think twice before egging again." She wiggled a finger and left the hen to lay another egg.

Vanessa scanned the night for more troublemakers as she does every Halloween, casting her spells on upstarts intent on ruining someone's night. She put up with so much other things every other day and tonight was her chance to have fun and get even for once.

She heard some scuffling and saw two teen boys pushing a little kid in a fireman suit down, taking his candy bag and telling him to get lost. Bag snatchers. The sight made Vanessa curl her fingers and narrow her gaze.

The two boys were walking with smug smirks when Vanessa walked past with her eyes in shadow. "These stolen treats will seal your fate in one bite, no amount of treats will be enough tonight."

They stopped and turned toward her. "Who was that chick?" One of them asked. The other stared. "She's that creepy witch girl." He began to dash. "Come let's get out of here!"

They dashed and slammed into someone, candy scattering on the floor as a girl in a scarecrow outfit fell back. "Ow!"

The guys picked up what they could hastily and took off, leaving the girl on the ground. "Yeah, thanks for the help..." She muttered as she sat up, putting loose straw back in her sleeves and collecting loose candy that those clumsy oats knocked from her bag. She put on the straw hat on her straw blond hair done in a pony tail ah got up dusting her costume, plush blackbirds on her sleeves.

Jenny sighed and looked at the time. She had a good haul and figured she had enough for the night. The fifteen year old scarecrow girl began to walk home, unaware of one bar of chocolate that came from the fleeing thieve's loot...
And Vanessa was not privy to what had just occurred...

Jenny out her bag on the counter and looked at her reflection in a mirror. Thin, lanky and freckled with straw blond hair, she made a convincing scarecrow with a little face paint and straw. She got the itchy stuff out of her sleeves and washed off her face and decided to have one bar before the night was up.

She reached in, unwrapped the foil, took a small piece and put the chocolate in her mouth.

She savored the bite and chipped off another piece. And then another. And then a bigger piece was chipped off and popped in her mouth. She stuffed the bar to her mouth and just chomped it off in breathy bites, chocolate smearing on her cheeks. A small part of her mind worried. The rush felt so good and was not like anything she knew before.

The foil was smushed against her face and tossed aside in a crumpled heap as she took another bar and ripped the wrapping off, holding the bar close as she gobbled it down in quick succession, sweet milk cocoa rushing down her throat as she practically breathed it in. so good! Never tasted so good before...more....

She reached for a handful of smaller mini bars and sat down, plopping them on her lap and ripping at each as she popped in one after another, her mouth stained with chocolate as she crammed each little morsel in her mouth. She had never eaten this way before, and it was like she just discovered chocolate for the first time. Not even when she tore into a coconut candy did it register as detestable like it usually does for her, it was just so good and she needed more candy in her.

While she was gorging herself with sweets her fingers were stiffening a bit making it harder to open the delicious treats each wrapping held. She grunted with frustration as she tried to open a Crunch bar and just held it in her thickening hands as she tore at it with her teeth and swallowed a bite with paper and chocolate before spitting it out and tearing the rest down, snarfing the rice bar.  Her fingers were sticking together, the sticky digits swelling together, her five fingers feeling like she only had three there.   only...getting in the way...more..more!

She began to bury her face in the candy pile,chomping down as her little ears began to flop about against her head, her face going deeper in the diminishing pile. Her once loose farm shirt began to feel like it had less room before, and her thin waist was a bitter memory as her belly expanded from the constant feeding it was receiving.

Wrappers tinkered to the floor and the girl turned toward the fridge with pouchy cheeks filled with chewy nougat and caramel and chocolate as she opened the door with a grunt, barely missing the way her nose seemed to be widening and flattening at the end, her nose smelling many scents behind the steel fridge.

Jenny found a pumpkin pie with whipped cream and brought the tin up before plopping her face in it with a squee of delight and she swallowed luscious pumpkin and nutmeg sweetness, the aroma taking her to heaven.

No food was spared her gluttony as was her thin body, now plumping with girth as she finished raiding the fridge.  She sniffed around with her changing nose and grunted in disappointment that the fridge was empty. She wanted more, needed more.

She hunched over to the door and opened up, her freckled face distorted by her large snout with a flat nose and jowls forming from her cheeks, sniffing about. She smelt candy nearby and went next door to a porch where a candy bowl was out with a written sign. "Please take one"

Jenny leaned into the bowl and began to consume its contents, her clothing straining with the weight she put on. She snarled and gobbled as a group of trick-or-treaters came up. They started as she buried her face into the bowl and dropped it empty with discarded and chewed up wrapping and candy and she turned to face them with a squeal, the kids shrieking in fright at her snout and features. They ran off dropping their bags, Jenny grunting and bending down to eat the candy off the floor, tripping on her trotters.

Bending down tore her pants as a curly pink tail poked out. In fact most if her had turned pink and round as the changing girl continued her feeding. She found it hard to get up but didn't mind as she trotted on all fours, each step changing her limbs thickness and length.

She cane across a smashed pumpkin with seed and pulp and pushed her snout in it as it grew longer and her neck grew thicker, her shirt tearing as her body altered dimensions. She lye some pumpkin pulp and seed fall off her sloppy chomps and sniffed around, her straw blond hair reduced to a tuft of blond fluff. She grunted and oinked when her floppy ears heard the sound of dropped candy and Jenny turned her transformed face.

Vanessa bent down and offered the treat to the pig. "Oh my, I'm so sorry about this. This wasn't supposed to happen. I didn't count on those clumsy ruffians to get someone else involved with them and when I heard the children I scream and saw you I realized what a terrible mistake I made."

She held out the candy to the pig's snout and she gobbled it down. "I can't turn you back but that bar should stop the hunger."

Jenny looked up at Vanessa then at herself, grunting sadly. "It's ok, I promise to take good care of you."

The pig looked into Vanessa's eyes and saw the sincerity in then. She nodded and Vanessa smiled. "Come along pig." She blushed. "Oh, can't go around calling you that and since I don't know your name a new one is in order, hmm." She looked thoughtfully.
"How about fern?"

The pig looked up and thought it over and slowly nodded. Fern was good enough, though she will always be Jenny in her mind.

"Well come along fern, we got a couple of friends of yours to pick up!"
