I'm very nervous about this chapter... :( There's.. something that happens that will probably paint my story as one of those stories *stares shamefully at the floor* I wanted to change it as soon as i realized that but.. it's become a bit of an important thing on later chapters :/ Just read it and find out, although i think you'll want to kill me after you do..
And.. i still don't own anything (except you-know-who), Tim Burton does.
~Chapter 4~
After I left the Mayor stuck in his hearse (you don't know how helpful is a jar of peanut butter with some glue), made a terrible confusion over who will be the chief of the pumpkins (people are so naïve..), and stole the Behemoth's axe, I went back to the fountain to see Jack frantically looking for me with the 3 trick-or-treaters behind him. I smirked deviously.
"Katie! What have you done?" he asked desperate.
"Nothing, Jack. I have been here all the time..." I said clasping my hands behind me, trying to look as nice as possible.
"No you haven't!" he accused "...What have you got there?" he asked suddenly, trying to peer around my back.
"Oh, this?" I said showing the axe to him "I found it in the floor"
The terrible trio snickered to themselves and I smiled the most innocent smile I could muster.
"Uh-huh. And why does the Behemoth doesn't has one?" he shouted enraged. 'Oops'
I stayed in silence for a moment, thinking of the situation. 'Should I drop it here or continue until he explodes? Hmm.. I'll choose the latter, since those little things were no fun after a while'
I smirked to Jack. I guess he got the message because he frowned in confusion.
"Catch me if you can!" I shouted, and then proceeded to run off at top speed, still with the axe in hand. Jack, still dumb-founded, snapped out of it a moments later and ran after me in a speed, I must say, was amazing because of his large limbs.
I ran the fastest I could, but at this rate, Jack would catch me in a minute or so. I was getting tired. I looked behind me. He was just at my heels.
Crabnuggets! This wasn't going to be fun if he caught me! I looked around me and tried to find a detour or something, but we were like in a long alley. I looked behind me again and saw Jack almost looming over me, a murderous look on his skull.
With a small squeal, I closed my eyes and concentrated in getting out there somehow and, next thing I knew, I felt a breeze hit me which almost knocked me down. I slowly opened my eyes and let out a little yelp. I was floating! I was at a great height, although I still saw Jack down in the alley, grabbing something—no wait, someone—that look strangely like me.
What the hell just happened?
-Jack's P.O.V-
That girl was a runner! Up until now, no one had been able to match my speed, but apparently she can! Speeding a bit, I noticed she stopped to catch her breath and look behind her, of which I took advantage, snatching her by her shirt with my large hands.
"Finally! I've got you!" I shouted. But she still had that annoying little smirk on her face, and, although it was a bit unnerving to see that on a kid, I also knew (in the short time that I had known her) that it was no good sign at all.
"No, you don't!" she yelled triumphantly as she disappeared into thin air.
I blinked, what just happened?
When it dawned on me that she had escaped, I exploded.
"WHAT!" I yelled angrily. How did she do that? She was supposed to be a human—well, she looked like one, and she never told me otherwise. But she couldn't be... Could she?
...Perhaps she really was some otherworldly being, and that's why I had thought she would fit in here, in a town of monsters.
Um.. please don't kill me! Dx Until recently i hadn't realized my character was such a Mary Sue! D: I did try to fix it, but it kinda became the spice of the story since there isn't really anything interesting about a normal kid in HT(besides her pranks)..
But don't worry, it's still Jack/Sally :) At least there is still one thing that makes this different from other stories..
Review please! It makes me happy! :D (and it'll keep the story going, that is, if you still want to read it..)
