And voila! The Nightmare of Her Dreams is officially posted! Just to put a little twist on things, this time Jack will be the one to introduce the story, with a little help from Elizabeth ;)

Disclaimer: I do not, and never will, own The Nightmare Before Christmas or any of its amazing characters. The genius Tim Burton got first dibs.


You climb up a dizzying spiral staircase and enter into a rather familiar looking room. It is round with giant windows for walls and several odd things like Halloween decorations everywhere. Your gaze shifts toward a tall, slender, skeleton man in a pinstripe suit who is sitting at his desk with a black leather book in hand. It is none other than Jack Skellington, the Pumpkin King. His attention averts from the pages of the book and looks up to you.

"Why, hello there! I'm sorry I didn't hear you come in." He laughs sheepishly. He closes the book and sets it aside. He then turns his full attention toward you. "I suppose you're wondering whatever became of Amelia Brave after she left Halloween Town a while back. Well an interesting story it is."

"You see, Amelia did return, though not for very long unfortunately. But that's understandable when she's a stressed college student, no? But what neither of us had expected was that she would later come back, not ever wanting to return to her human life again. Why, you ask? Well let's just say that the past came back to haunt her, so to speak."

Jack's expression turns a little more solemn. "You see…not long after that incident occured, something terrible happened to her. And it was all because years ago she had thrown away her gold locket. Who would have thought that such a mere trinket would lead to so much trouble!" he sighs, "Well, it did and one hectic story would arise out of it…But let me take you back before all of that happened. Back to when she returned, on the night of Halloween after her nineteenth birthday…"

Jack snaps his fingers and suddenly you are enveloped by a black shadow. You can no longer see anything but eternal darkness. Suddenly, a dim light appears in the distance and keeps growing until you find yourself in a familiar looking forest. You land within a circle of trees with an odd color of bark and a young woman's ghost fades in from the shadows. She stands in the center of the trees, her figure transparent. Her long white gown flows in a nonexistent breeze. Her hair that was once in an elegant bun hung down in loose, messy locks. Her skin is so pale it's practically white compared to her dark, curly hair.

It's the spirit of Elizabeth Brave. She turns toward you and softly, yet loud enough to be heard, she speaks.

T'was a long time ago, though longer now it may seem,

That Amelia once again returned to her Halloween.

For the story you're about to be told,

Began when an old wound revived to take its hold.

She discovered a precious object from past years,

Only to be introduced to what she most fears.

And when she and Jack stare into the face of tragedy,

They soon discover it will transform their lives dramatically.

Listen to how these moments in time changed Amelia forever.

But could it be that these unfortunate events were maybe for the better?


Sorry for the shortness ^^; Trust me, the acutal chapters will be longer. Well I hope you all are looking forward to The Nightmare of Her Dreams! If I get a lot of reviews, I might post chapter 1 this weekend! *big grin*

Thank you everyone! -Mystic
