Chapter 1… Hello?

Young Crystal sighed. Where were her friends? One minute she's standing next to her best friend Cassandra, the next she hears a scream and she's gone. What was this? A prank? It wasn't funny to her. Eric and Aaron were right behind them too, they were gone as well. After a while she started getting aggravated, then worried, then paranoid, then scared, paranoid again, then scared again. She let out a frustrated sigh And Once more yelled,

"Cassandra! Eric! Aaron! Where are you guys?" She leaned next to a tree when she heard a rustle. She smiled, she knew it was her friends. They were always trying to pull tricks on her and scare her. "Ok guys, nice try. I know it's you-" she pulled back the bush but nothing was there. "All?" She sighed again. "Ok Crystal, pull yourself together. You're just in a big forest with no one and you are lost. You're friends are missing and they are probably ok, but still you worry. Nothing is going to happen." She nodded her head with satisfaction. Nothing was going to happen she thought. "Nothing at all." She looked at her digital watch. 8:00. She was late. She was moving the next day to San Francisco and she just went on a goodbye walk with her friends and now she was lost. Her parents were going to kill her. What made it worse was that the next day was Halloween and the day before Halloween she always heard rumors from the town kids about how you could hear monsters preparing for Halloween night. Of course, she never believed it. But with all this noise going around, and being dark, she was scared and lonely. "How do I get home?"

That's when she heard a sound. Like, a chainsaw. I don't know about you, but if I heard a chainsaw and it was dark, I was by myself, and thinking scary thoughts, I would be terrified. Crystal grabbed the nearest abject she could find and picked it up. If something was going to pop out at her, she would be ready. The sound went away, but then she heard talking. Civilization! She thought. She started running toward the murmurs when she saw something. She didn't pay attention to it at first, but then she ran into it.

"Oww!" She fell over and looked up. She thought it would be a person. Instead, it was a tree, with hanging skeletons! "AAAAAHHHHH!" She screamed.

"AAAAAHHHHHH!" The tree screamed. She screamed even louder when she knew it could talk. "AAAAAHHHHH!" The skeletons screamed. She screamed as she got up and ran away. Then she just kept bumping into even weirder creatures. Like a snot guy, a lady with snake hair, a man with snake fingers, and these four vampires and two witches. She covered her head as she ran through this creepy town.

"Just a bad dream, just a bad dream!" She kept saying to herself. She felt herself then crash into something and fall over again. She didn't want to open her eyes to see what it was. She curled up into a ball and covered her head. Then she heard a gentle voice.

"Why I think she is scared." This voice said. She could tell it was a guy.

"That good! We love to scare!" The others said. She felt a gentle hand touch her shoulder.

"Yes but, I think she has been through enough scare now." Crystal still wouldn't come out of her position. "It's alright now, there is nothing to be scared of now." She eased up and slowly opened her eyes. She saw to her surprise, not something scary. But a nice, tall, very, very tall, skeleton. The towns people gasped and ooed and awed at the sight of something so rare.

"What is it?"

"Kill that thing!"

"Looks gross!"

"It's scary!" Things and creatures said all over. The skeleton lifted Crystal up off the ground and studied her. He smiled then.

"Why I know!" He said. "She is a human." The people or whatever you call them gasped.

"A human? But how?" One of the Witches said.

"She must have run off or got lost from her town." They all stared at her.

"Well, why doesn't she talk?" This fish guy said.

"Hmmm, I don't know." He stared at her. "Hello! Do you speak English?" She stared at him.

"Is she stupid or something?" That snake haired lady said.

"I don't know. Santa Clause talked."

"Santa Clause?" Crystal said.

"She speaks!"

"Yes and I just want to go home and find my friends." The skeleton smiled.

"We will, we will. Let me introduce myself, I am Jack Skellington. Also know as the pumpkin king. You are?"

"Crystal Holidays. I got lost in that forest and now I am here." Jack frowned then smiled again.

"Then you should stay here for the night, we'll look for your friends in the morning and we'll bring you home. The whole town will search fro your friends!" Everyone agreed.

"Gee, that's awfully nice."

"DAD, DAD! DAAAAAD!" Came a boys voice. "Hey dad, guess whaaaat!" The boy said as he tripped and rolled the rest of the way over there. He slammed into the fountain. "Ow." The other kids laughed at him as he got up. He had cloths made from scratch and some black and blue pants. They were ripped a lot. He had a skeleton head with brown eyes and part of his head was flesh sown on. It was his left cheek. He had fluffy black short hair. He wore a t-shirt. His left arm was bone but his right arm was all sown on. Crystal figured that his whole left side was bone and his whole right side was sown on.

"Yes son?" Jack asked.

"I found a pure white cat, it's really rare you know, well, at least around here it is."

"Yes."

"You don't seem impressed?"

"What was that? I'm sorry I was talking to the Witch." The boy rolled his eyes.

"Nothing."

"I love white cats, they are so pretty and beautiful." Crystal said. She was only 13, same age as the boy, but she had good cloths and had blonde hair with blue eyes. Crystal blue, hints the name.

"Yeah, that's why I like them too." Jack looked at them.

"Crystal, this is Sunny, my son, Sunny, this is Crystal, she's going to be staying the night with us."

"Cool." Sunny said.

"Hello." Crystal said.

"Sunny, why don't you go and play with Crystal for a little bit?" Jack said.

"But dad, nobody likes me. My cousin Davi' and Gloria hate me."

"That's not true, they just play a little rough."

"BUT DAD!"

"No Butts!" Sunny looked down. "Oh Sunny, you act like no one in this town even likes you." He turned to go with Crystal.

"It's cause' no one does." He mumbled then walked off with his head down.
