In How to Kill a Mocking Bird the two main characters Jem and Scout go on their final and longest adventure together. It is Halloween night and Scout is in the schools play as a ham. Her teacher decided to give her the most important part because she views Scout as a very responsiblee and intelligent young woman. After a great and eventful night at the school, the night takes a turn for the worst on their way home. As Jem and Scout are walking together home, they start to hear a rustling in the bushes behind them. When they stop walking they cant hear it anymore. Soon they become alarmed because they now know that a stranger is behind them. Earlier, on their way to the school play their friend Cecil Jacobs scares both Scout and Jem, since he is a mischievous kid and like to start trouble. However, when Scout turns around to yell out to Cecil and call him names, telling him that he cannot scare Jem and Scout this time, there is no response and no Cecil Jacobs to be found. Their hearts are now racing and they are worried about what will happen next. Moments after calling for Cecil Jacobs, Jem gets tugged back by something, and falls to the ground. There is a strange voice surrounding them and Scout tries to see through the darkness in her ham costume as Jem is pushed around by a shadow. Soon Scout was grabbed from behind and felt something trying to mangle up her costume. Then, their is another strange voice and Scout is set free. There is a commotion for a few minutes, then all of the sudden; silence. Something falls, scout is alone is silence, scared, calling out for her brother but there is no answer still.
