After getting ready they left the house ready to get as much candy as possible this year.  They spent an hour going to many houses in their neighborhood and their bags were full.  They decided to go get new bags and drop off their full ones at home.  Just as they were crossing the street, Cora saw something black out of the corner of her eye. "Whats that?" Cora said. Leah looked and saw nothing. " There is nothing there." she said.  " Never mind," she said I thought that I saw something.
