Disclaimer; I do not own The Nightmare Before Christmas or Jack Skellington, or any other Character.
But I do have the movie lol
(This is my first fic, so I'd appreciate some reviews, tell me if you want me to make more! Oh1 And if I stole any one's Idea, I'm sorry! I just saw a lot of the Wedding things, so I made one where the Wedding didn't happen!)
Chapter 1; Stolen Bride
The Night was cold, unforgiving. Nothing like it was suppose to be.
He tried to fight it, tried everything, but nothing worked, nothing helped.
"Sally! Sally!" Jack Skellington, the Pumpkin King, cried out in anguish "Come back to me…… come back…."
It was suppose to be a happy day. A great day! The day he was going to marry Sally.
But he took it all away.
"Sally!" Jack cried again, falling to the ground, beating his hands against the dirt.
The townsfolk looked at him, in sorrow. They hated seeing there Pumpkin King like this, but they didn't know how it felt to lose someone so close, to lose someone so dear.
I have to find her. I HAVE to!
~ Flashback (well to the wedding part)~
Preparing for the Wedding; Sally
"My Dear, creation, how you have grown!" The Doctor exclaimed, as he examined her.
"Yes, yes. Isn't it remarkable?" Jewel replied, smiling at Sally
"Thank you, doctor, and jewel! I just hope jack likes me in this dress….." Sally mused as she chewed her bottom lip.
"Likes you! Likes you!" The Dressmaker cried "He vill admire you! Praise you! Bow at your very feet!"
"Oh, well I doubt he will do anything like that!" Sally laughed nervously.
"Ah, yes. Ha ha. You vill not be laughing vhen everyone vaints at the very sight of you!"
(Sorry the Dress-maker is German)
"Am I really that pretty?" Sally asks, not daring to hope…..
"Am I veally that pretty?" Mocks the Dress-maker "Nov! You vare better then vretty! You vare gorgeous!"
Sally looks at herself, barley noticing Jewel and the Doctor slip out of the room.
"Well, yes I do look astonishing in this dress" Sally said
"Vhat I say" The Dress-maker scolds, lightly.
Sally laughs
"Hurry!" The Doctor cries, wheeling into the room "Almost time!"
Prepare for the Wedding; Jack
"C'mon now, c'mon now Jack! I can't get you ready if your fidgeting like this!"
The Bigger Mr. Hyde says.
"Sorry Mr. Hyde, I'm just so excited! Finally after all this waiting! I'm going to marry Sally!" Cries an exuberated Jack.
"Yes, yes. Let's all cheer for our new Pumpkin Queen" Mr. Hyde droned.
Most Townsfolk NEVER got it! They simply didn't know what Jack saw in Sally! Sure, she was a beauty, but she just wasn't SCARY! Who would want to marry someone NOT scary?
"Hmmm…. Pumpkin Queen" Jack mused, letting it roll out on his tongue "Yes, that sounds quite nice"
Mr. Hyde rolled his eyes (Which he DOES have)
"Mr. Skellington? Mr. Skellington? Come on! It's time for you to come out! You wouldn't want to be late!" They hear The Mayor shout.
"Well you heard the Mayor!" Jack says, slipping form their grip. "I gotta go!"
Jack loped out his door, to the Town Hall, in which the Wedding will be held.
"Nice catch Jack!" The Were-wolf howled "She got quite the figure! Too bad about the whole-scare thing though, but you can always whip her up to shape!" He laughed, pounding Jack on the back.
Now why would I want to change my Beautiful Sally? She is already prefect the way she is, too bad no one else can see that, Jack thought.
The Wedding
Jack stood fidgeting again, only this time, at the alter.
Where is she? Jack thoughts were impatient. All he could think about was being able to see Sally everyday, instead of having to sneak away.
Gasp~
"Is that Sally?"
"Wow. She's smoking'!"
"The Pumpkin King sure has an eye!"
"Holy Crap! THAT'S Sally!"
"Is it really?"
"No! It can't be…!"
Jack spun around, looking for the source of all the mutterings, and gasps.
That's when he saw her.
She was a vision. Enchanting. Enticing. Utter irresistible.
He couldn't take his eyes off of her.
Her gown was dark purple with sparkling silver streaks, and the hem had her glorious shade of red. The dress hugged her curves perfectly, leaving nothing left to the imagination.
"Oh my god……" Jack muttered
Sally was thinking the exact same thing.
My God, Jack looks so handsome and…incredible. How could he have fallen for me? I'm just an ordinary rag-doll!
Sally felt everyone's glaze, as she walked up to the alter. She thought that, that walk was the longest walk of her whole life.
As she reached Jack, she could see the stark look of longing in him, she blushed a deep red.
Little did she know, her eyes held the same message.
How could such a beautiful, gentle, loving creature ever fall in love with a skeleton like me? Jack asked himself as he gazed into his lover's eyes.
Suddenly abnormal screams of terror busted into the night.
Jack and Sally broke off their gaze, to see huge black-masked and black-robbed figures parading into the wedding.
Jack immediately pushed Sally behind him, trying to defend her.
"What would you want?" He asked bitterly
"We have come to take, what now belongs to the Master" The First masked-figure replied
"What have you come to take? And who is your Master?"
"You only get 1 more question answered. We have come to take Sally. You can make it hard, or easy. It is your decision"
"Never! You can't take her!"
"The hard way, is it? Very well. Nytes! Seize her!"
Jack looks around, hoping someone was there to help.
Everyone was gone
"Stay behind me Sally!" Jack yelled
"Jack, I'm so scared!" Sally whispered, as she clung to Jacks shirt.
"I WILL protect you" Jake replied, as they closed in on him "I will" He swore
Suddenly they all attacked.
Punch there…Kick her. All beating him down, till Jack was on the floor, almost broken, almost dead. And Sally was bruised, beyond belief.
"No!!!! Jack!!!!!" Sally cried desperately, because she thought her Jack was dead
"Please be Okay! I love you!!"
"JACK!" Sally screamed
~SLAP~
"Shut up! You crazy bitch" The First Leader shouted in her face.
Little did they know that Jack could hear every word, and hear the slap that hit his beloved. The fire in his eye's blazed an unholy light.
Stupid body! Get up! GET UP! Jack screamed at himself
"No! No! Jack can't die! He can't! Ohhh Jack I love you…"
~SLAP~
"I SAID SHUT UP!"
Silence fell, except for Sally's soft cries.
"Good-bye Jack. To let you know, Sally will be in capable hands" One snickered.
Perverse laughter followed.
"And don't worry, she won't die, right away!" Laughter again but then it mysterestly disappears.
~End Flashback~
Jacks POV
As I looked at all the destruction the 'Nytes' caused, only 1 thought crossed my mind
I will come and get you Sally. And this is a promise I intend to keep
So Whatcha think?
This is my first fic, so I'd appreciate some reviews, tell me if you want me to make more! Oh1 And if I stole any one's Idea, I'm sorry! I just saw a lot of the Wedding things, so I made one where the Wedding didn't happen!
