Halloween Night

The Skeleton and The Book

Chapter 4

Just a quick note to everyone who'll read this chapter. I'm going to continue from the last chapter to this chapter. Hopefully I can get this right from the last chapter. Well then without futher delay, on with the story.

Okay...so...um...Jack was looking for a certian type of book for Selena to read. He searched from one bookshelf to the next. All for just one book.

"Um...Mr. Skeleton, what kind of book all you looking for exactually?" Selena asked him.

"You'll see Selena, just give me a little bit longer to find it." Jack told her.

So Selena sat there waiting, and waiting until finally jack came over with a book in his hands. He walked over to where Selena was, and then held out the book for her to look at.

"Is this the book Mr. Skeleton?" Selena asked him.

"Correct Selena, this is a very special book." He started to tell her.

"Why is that sir?" She asked him.

"This book, contains all the history of Halloween Town." He told me.

"Okay...um, so what's so important about this book that I need to see and read?" She asked him.

"I just would like you to read this for a while. I have some business to attend to with the Mayor so I'm leaving you here alone. If...that's alright with you Selena? If not then I can ask the Mayor to come here." Jack told her.

"Oh...um...n-no, no it's alright sir I can wait here." She told him.

"Are you sure? I don't really feel comfortable leaving a young girl all alone for who knows how long until I return." Jack told her.

"It's alright really, I can stay here I'm used to being all alone." She told him.

"Really now?" He asked her.

"Yeah, I'm use to it. I'm usually always alone." She told Jack who seemed a bit worried.

Now although Selena said and claimed that she was okay staying at home on her own, Jack didn't seemed convinced about going now. It just didn't seem right to leave a young girl like Selena on her own for who knows how long he would be with the Mayor. Jack thought about it but wasn't convinced. He just couldn't leave Selena all alone. It didn't seem right and he knew it.
