Chapter 1: the Beginning of a Quest for Love
This is my first story on fan fiction so please review kindly. cough cough EMMA
Sally's P.O.V.
After I spent what seemed like hours on Moonlight Hill with my beloved Jack he had to go attend to next years Halloween plans. That skeleton is so organized just one out of the many reasons why I love him so much. Everything that happened on that hill is still going through my mind. Especially the first kiss we shared. He came up onto the hill singing our song……
Flashback:
"My dearest friend, if you don't mind
I'd like to join you by your side
where we can gaze into the stars"
He came up to me slowly up the hill and we both sang out our love for each other.
"And sit together, now and forever
for it is plain as anyone can see
we're simply meant to be"
Then he took my makeshift fingers into his long, pale, bony ones and he took me in his skinny arms and we embraced each other. I looked up at him into those dark empty sockets and I could have sworn I saw a light flicker in them. I looked up at him and I smiled the biggest smile I had since the day I was created by Dr.Finkelstein and I took my first walk on the town and laid my eyes on the most beautiful creature ever, Jack was looking over plans for that years Halloween and when he noticed me he walked over and introduced himself. I was so nervous I fell over. But he picked me up and took me on a tour of the town. That was one of my most favorite memories. And that took place only 4 years ago. After getting out of my muse we both leaned in and my velvet lips made from one of Dr. Finkelstein's old gloves touches his hard, firm, bony lips. And the scene I could never forget. The big, bright moon in the back of us and the newly fallen snow on the ground under our feet. It was indeed the happiest moment of my life. i could feel is tounge coming into my "man-made" mouth his taste was that of candy corn and of smoke. i guess when he was shot down from his sley he inhaled smoke and it stayed in his mouth. we broke apartand sat on the cold hill and talked about how Jack's whole big Christmas-Halloween thing was over and I gave him some ideas for next years Haloween. Once I told him some of my plans he took my hands and said
"You're a genius Sally, just one of the reasons why you're so special to me"
He never said the words "I love you" but I know he loves me dearly inside those bones of his.
End of flashback
I walked back out of the cemetery to the central town. Where all the towns people were still enjoying the gift Santa Clause gave to us. The snow I will never forget. Ill have to go to this Christmas town that Jack told us about at the town meeting so long ago. and mabey get to know santa clause and have a normal conversation without Oggie Boogie tying us down to a platfrom over a pool of hot boiling lava. But first let me enjoy myself. After all it is Christmas. I strolled around watching the town's folk talk and laugh. It made me think of Jack and where he could be right then and there. I felt myself have things grab my waist and when I looked around it was only Jack.
"Hey Sally lets go join the celebration!" My beloved said to me with a sparkle of amusement in his eyes.
"Ok jack" I said obediently. I would do anything for him.
He took me by the hand and lead me into the crowd, I was a little nervous because I never really participated in celebrations. And by being side by side with Jack and actually touching him made me all the more scared and nervous. I would usually slink back into the back of the crowd and listen and watch the festivities fantasying about me and Jack together. I never would have guessed that my fantasies would ever come to be a reality.
As he took me into the crowd I gazed upon the faces of my fellow towns people. Their faces range from excitement, drunken smiles and my personal favorite jealousy. The girls of Halloween town save Mrs. Grimy who was the nicest lady in the whole town. She's a very large woman who ironically married a very lean fellow named Mr. Grimy. They had a child who everyone called Mud on the account he was so dirty. He was fat like his mother and short. He always hung out with Wrap the Mummy's child and Batty the child who looks like a croos between a bat and a human head. The remaining single woman of Halloween were looking at me with the biggest death glare I have ever seen especially Boggy the Swamp lake monster and the Witch sisters. I guess I should stay away from the swamp for a while. I bet the "Jack Skellington Fan Club" will have to find a new host because he's taken by me so ha!!!!!
"So what do you want to do first Sally?" Jack asked.
"As long as it's with you jack I couldn't care less" I said with a feeling of blush on my cheeks.
"OK well how about we go into the "Halloween Town Fright Night Mansion?"
"OK-K-K" I said with my teeth chattering between sentences.
The Halloween Town Fright Night Mansion is like a haunted house only since it's the capital of creepiness it's not like the fake pop out things that have pre-recorded screams. This house is the real deal. All of the spooky objects inside are real. The ghosts, the shrikes, the scratching noises and the loud footsteps that are coming from the attic are all real.
We both approached the mansions gates. They were big, rusty and the iron was twisted into ways that made pictures and letters like skulls and the initials CF were at the top. The ledged says that the original owner of the house Corumpkis Fintilude was the master of terror of his time. He was a wizard that made his house the scariest thing to this day. He summoned ghosts, banshees and all the things that go bump in the night. I wrapped my arms around Jack he smiled down at me and said
"Don't worry Sally I'll protect you,"
"I've never been to this house before but I heard rumors and I heard the doctor talking about it when I was locked up after sneaking out to see you. He would always say that he would shut me up there for a day and after that I would be so scared I would have learned my lesson." I said, shivering with the cold.
" Ha-ha Sally, if that ever happened I would bail you out of there. I never minded when you came to see me even when you would hide behind walls and bushes I always knew you were there" Jack smiled with a little bit of pink coming up on his snow white cheeks.
I felt my face getting hot "You knew I was there? Why didn't you tell me?"
"Then I would have spoiled the feeling of forbidden love that we share" he sad gazing out at the sky.
"Oh, Jack you're such a bonehead sometimes but I love you anyway" I confessed
He put his arms on my waist and leaned in close he whispered in my ear
"Our love is eternal just like the stars in the sky and the shrikes of the young" then he leaned in and kissed me hard on the lips I felt his firm hard lips on mine once again and I felt a tingle all over my body. I could feel my legs and arms literally fall off... No literally I broke off from a wonderful kiss and looked down. My appendages fell off! My legs were underneath me and my arms had rolled a few feet away. Jack seemed to have noticed before me and held me up bridal style. I laughed at this situation and he started to laugh with me. We were like this until I told him to put me down and I took a needle from my hair and thread from my ragged dress. I sewed my appendages together and I stood up stumbling a little bit as I walked. I tripped over a stone and when I thought I was about to crash I opened my eyes and saw that Jack was holding me in the same position 5 minutes ago.
"Don't get me wrong I love the position that we're in now but I can walk." I said reassuringly.
"Ha-Ha oh no you don't I'll carry you until we get to the front door." Jack replied smiling as he said this. I gave up and let him carry out his plan. As we reached the front door he put me down and I thanked him "Anything for you" he said in his trademark skeleton grin. swoon sigh I loved that smile he gave, that grin when he was truly happy with something or someone. And I was happy that he smiled that smile at me.
Jack opened the door to the mansion and we both stepped inside. The floorboards were creaky and the door made a loud CREAKKKKK when Jack opened it. The foyer was all covered in dust, filth, and cobwebs. The furniture looked worn, and the carpets were so faded with age you couldn't even see what the pattern originally were. The whole house had no lighting in it so It was dark I held onto Jack's arm so I wouldn't lose him. We started walking around in the foyer. Everything seemed normal here but you can never know it WAS a haunted house after all.
"Everything seems normal here let's go up into the bedrooms" Jack said
I looked at him with confusion and hope could he mean to…..no he couldn't have we only just confessed our love to each other tonight but I guess boy will be boys (Authors note: BOYS WILL BE BOYS BABY BOYS WILL BE BOYSSS. BOYS WILL BE BOYS HIDING IN ESTROGEN AND WEARING AUBERGINE DREAMSSSS) anyway Jack saw her confused expression and he just laughed nervously.
"Oh Sally I wasn't talking about THAT I was saying to check out the house" Jack said rather quickly going a deep red.
"Oh…OK" I said rather disappointed.
So we went up the dusty stairs still me holding on to Jack by his long, skinny arm. The stairs creaked every time our weight was put on top of it. When we finally got to the top of the stairs we looked around here it was very, very cold I had to bury my body into Jacks for warmth. The carpets here were like the ones in the foyer and there was a little armoire that had dead, deteriorating flowers in a dust vase on top of it. I couldn't breath in this house with all of this dust. We both tuned to the right and came to a large oak door thats had blood on it and a dark angel carved int the wood with a rusting door knob. When Jack opened it after what we saw I screamed.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH"
