without further ado here is your story:

When the five people got to the gates Rubi and Mason gazed up the very high steps. Rubi gulped whilst all Mason did was gape up the very high steps. Jack and Sally were already headed up when they turned,

"Aren't you coming?" Jack asked.

"Don't worry you'll be up there in no time," Sally said.

Rubi and Mason gulped and took a deep breath and started to climb up. Throughout the entire journey all the siblings thought about was getting to the top of the staircase. Jack and Sally got up in no time. Jack opened the door and motioned for Sally to go in; he turned to look and see the progress that his guests were making and his face fell.

"Sally," he called, "come out here now please."

"What is it Jack?" she asked.

"Look," he said, pointing toward the guest.

Sally's face fell too when she saw them. Mason, Rubi, and Derrick then came to the top and looked accomplished; Derrick of course was still sleeping.

"We did it!" Rubi said, excitedly. "You know I don't feel all that tired from the climb," Rubi said, handing Derrick to Sally, who took him quicker than she meant too; thus leaving Rubi shocked and a little upset. Mason, who was totally oblivious to what had just happened, yawned much louder than necessary, said,

"Boy I'm tired."

'Your so rude,' Rubi thought.

"Well you know what you can just shut up," Mason snapped back, low enough, Jack wasn't sure he heard.

"Did you-never mind," Jack said, "come I'll lead you to your room."

Mason and Rubi bade Sally goodnight, while she took Derrick to his room she also bade them goodnight. The siblings followed Jack and he opened the door to a grand guest room. In the room there was a window directly across from the door and on the wall to the left there were two beds separated by a tiny table with a face clock on it that read- 11:35 pm. On the other side of the room was a fireplace that contained a roaring fire making the room feel warm and toasty.

"It isn't much but here you go. You each get your own bed and the window provides a very nice view of the city," Jack said, with a grin.

"Mr. Skellington," Mason began, "you have no idea how thankful we are. All I can say right now is thank you and we will repay you in some way."

"Call me Jack," began the skeleton, "Sally and I are happy to help you. All I ask is that you stay a while, and don't worry we don't need you to repay us. We just need to talk in the morning before we can do anything else."

"What do we need to talk about? Is it bad?" Rubi asked.

"Don't worry we will get into that detail later, for now goodnight," Jack finished.

"Good night," the siblings together.

Jack left the room to leave them to talk. Rubi walked over to see if it had lock or not; it didn't.

'Well at least they won't be able to hear us,' she thought.

'I think they know,' Mason thought in response, standing at the fireplace gazing into it.

'If they do, they do. I over-heard Jack mention our names and the destruction of something-or place,' she thought as she walked plat her brother towards the window to open the curtains. Through the open windows she looked past the beautiful scenery up to the full moon. She gazed at it, waiting for her brother to respond.

'Rubi,' he thought, 'I have a feeling something bad is going to happen.'

'Me too, Mase, me too.'

She took off her jacket because of the warmth that was overwhelming the room. She reached up to her mouth to take off the fangs that should have fallen off already. She tried to move one but it was stuck, she tried the other but it was also stuck. She pulled harder and ended up hurting herself.

'Mason,' she thought really loudly.

'What,' he replied sleepily.

'The fangs won't come out.'

'Worry about it tomorrow, now come sleep.'

She turned to see her brother, who had already taken off his jacket, lie in the bed with covers up to his mid-chest area. His head was on his hand, which was being propped up on his elbow, one eye was closed. He smiled an adorable, smirky smile and patted the side next to him while pulling away the covers exposing her spot on the comfortable looking bed. She smiled at the inviting spot and took off the pumps and placed them by her jacket; she quickly ran her fingers through her hair getting rid of the slight tangles. She then placed herself to her intended spot; Mason pulled the covers up to her ear, he noticed that she was a bit colder than normal but he paid it no mind. Being how they were (protective of each other) they got closer, her arms wrapped around his middle, and his around her waist.

'Goodnight Mase, I love you.'

'Goodnight Rub, love you too'

Mason kissed her forehead and heard her soft breaths going in and out. He smiled and quickly fell asleep too.

thanks again, please review
