I got this idea from watching Corps Bride after Nightmare Before Christmas. If I copied anybody I am sorry so just yell all you want. . .I don't care.

Jack's sorrow

A tall skeleton about 7ft. tall in a black and white pinstripe suit sat looking out at the town below him. His dog Zero was in his basket sound asleep.

"Zero what did I do to deserve this?"

Zero looked up at Jack and yawned. Jack continued to look out the window.

'It sure looks like a horrible day to be outside, perfect for scaring'

"(Sigh) Then why do I feel so glum?"

'Stupid Jack, it's because you upset Sally'

Jack frowned and looked away from the window, then looked back out and opened the windows wide.

"Zero look!"

Zero hopped up on the window sill and looked out. Just in the distance a young man, or what looked like some boy, was running from something. When Jack looked he saw a white wolf chasing him.

"Zero stay here and don't let anyone in"

"Bark, Bark!"

"Good dog"

Jack ran out of the house as fast as he could to where he saw the man running.

When he found him he was knocked out and the wolf was advancing on him. Jack didn't know what to do so he screamed as loud as he could and the wolf, startled ran away.

With a smile on his face Jack watched as the wolf ran back to it's pack then looked down at the young man.

'Hmm he looks no older than 17 or 18 years old'

Jack checked if he was breathing then lifted him as gently as possible. Once on his feet he looked down at the sleeping boy in his arms. Then he heard a commotion from behind him.

"I think it came from this way! Jack! Jack are you here can you here me?"

'It's the mayor'

"Mayor over here I'm alright"

Soon Jack was surrounded by people asking him why he screamed so loud and what happened.

"Jack who's that in your arms?"

Jack looked down at Shock the oldest of Lock, Shock, and Barrel.

"Oh he's. . ."

"Jack is the one you where looking for?"

Jack looked down at Barrel the youngest.

"Oh I don't think. . ."

"Will you get married?"

Lock looked up at Jack with big round eyes.

"Alright that's enough he was being chased by a wolf and I saved him that's all"

With that Jack pushed past the people and headed home ignoring the questions that everyone kept asking that didn't need answering.

'At least not now'

Jack thought with a frown on his face.

"Unnn"

Victor opened his eyes to a dimly lit room.

"Unn where am I?"

He looked around then closed his eyes because of the pounding in his head.

He woke to someone placing a damp rag to his head then down his neck and he snapped his eyes open. What he saw was a skeleton jump back and fall out of his chair.

Victor sat up and looked at where he fell in the chair but fell back down onto his pillow from a pounding headache. He heard a chair scraping the floor and felt a rag back on his forehead. When he attempted to open his eyes it just made his head pound even more. He felt a blanket be put over him and someone was petting his hair. He slowly opened his eyes and saw the skeleton looking down at him with concern in his eyes. He finally closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Jacks POV

I had gotten him to my house and laid him down the boy mumbled something about his name being Victor so that is what I shall call him.

I had left for but a second to call Sally and tell her what I had found and she promised to come over. I fixed some warm water and had found a clean rag and walked back upstairs to find Victor sound asleep.

I carefully walked over and sat down on the chair after turning on the light I wet the rag and looked down at him he looked like he was having difficulty breathing, so I pulled off his shirt and wiped his brow with the damp rag.

as I was cleaning his neck he woke up and it startled me so much that I tried to stand got my foot caught behind the chair leg and fell backwards. He sat up and our eyes locked then he fell back onto the bed.

I maneged to stand and put the chair back. I put the rag on his forehead and covered him with the blanket. While I was petting his damp hair down he opened his eyes and I heard him mumble something.

"Don't... go... just yet... stay... with me... please"

I felt like my heart was just ripped from my chest.

"I won't leave you I'll stay right here with you until you awaken"

Victor seemed to calm down he closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
