The moon was full and cast a beautiful glow from behind the clouds. Everything seemed peaceful in the town of Halloween but it seemed especially peaceful in the skellington house that was until…CRACK! The lightning was a flash that went as soon as it came then came the crackling thunder. Sally woke as the next way of thunder rolled threw shaking the house and everything in it. Her limp rag body tensed up as well as it could. She covered her mouth as a yelp escaped her mouth. The one thing Sally truly was scared of was a thunderstorm. She felt the tears slipping from the corners of her eyes rolling warm down her could cheeks.
She went to curl up when she felt two thin arms rap around her tight pulling her as close as she could be to the body that they were attached to.
"It is alright my graveyard flower, it's just a storm" Jack hadn't even opened his eyes (more like eye sockets). He softly stroked Sally's red silk yarn hair curling the ends between his boney fingers just the way she liked. The rain pounded against the roof and sally couldn't keep the tears in. With one loud burst she let out the tears. Her sobs shook her whole body causing Jack to pull her closer. Jack began to sing this quaint little lullaby that he had written for Sally when they had first started dating (not many people knew that Jack was musically inclined.)
Hush my little bat
The day will be over soon
Time to rest your eyes
And listen too my tune
The one for you
When you cannot sleep
And your mind is wide-awake
Hush my darling
You are safe
Now rest your mind
Sweet nightmares too
For you'll be safe
Because I love you
Sally listened to her husbands soothing voice as the storm calmed down. She curled into his chest and ever so slowly felt her body relax and her mind go off to sleep.
Jack watched his wife as she slept peacefully in his thin arms. For she was truly beautiful and he had no idea why a woman as wonderful Sally wanted to be him and wished to be and was his wife. He let his mind slip off to the day she became his wife.
It was a cool autumn day in November (November 7 to be exact Sally would never let him forget that). The spiral hill had been decorated beautifully with all kinds of love things from valentine town but that was the last thing noticed about the day. He could have cared less about what everything looked like, where they were or who was there, all he cared about that today Sally was going to become his wife. Jack was standing at the alter wearing a clean black tux with his normal bat bowtie. The music began to play and that was when he saw her. Sally floated down the isle her black lace dress trailing behind her. The lace hung off of her. Long sleeves with a heart shaped neckline. The veil hides her face but could not hide the smile on her lips and Jack felt his heart (which wasn't there really) melt at the sight of that smile. They joined hands and said their vows. Sally had begun to cry and jack reached over and gently wiped away her warm hears and a smile once again appeared on her lips. The word was almost gone the major's words on the back of his mind.
"I now pronounce you husband and wife, you may kiss the bride" With that they kissed and were officially husband and wife.
With a smile on his face Jack drifted off to sleep for he was truly happy to have a wife as lovely as the beautiful amazing rag doll that was fast asleep in his arms.
