Chapter IX: Terrible Sight
Jack Skellington
This enigma of the stolen book plagues my like the Black Death. The only clues were that the culprits were short and left a pool of water on the floor, other than that we were in the dark and it was driving me insane.
"Maybe there's something I missed," I said examining the video one more time and like every time it baffles me making me want to solve this crime even more.
While I was watching it, Sally came racing into the room, "Jack something terrible has happened," she says panicked stricken.
"That's great news," I tell her not really paying attention to what she was saying, my mind was too fixed on the mystery in front of me.
"No, something has happened to Danny," she said tugging on my arm but I pushed her aside not listening to what she was saying.
"Fine, if you won't help me, I'll find Danny myself," she tells me as she walks away. I still wasn't listening to what she said as my brain was too focused on the stolen book.
Danny
When my blindfold was removed I found myself strapped to a platform in a strange room. It looked some nightmarish casino and was lit in blacklights casting an eerie glow on the place revealing hidden images in the room and casting the same glow on the white parts of my jumpsuit.
My eyes dart across the room and find that I am attached to some sort of device via a tube.
"Hey what's going on," I shout as I try to break free but the shackles are too strong.
"Don't fight too much we can't have you injured before the ceremony," a voice says as a small girl dressed as a witch walks into the room. "You don't even look like you could handle a sprite , let alone the ghost king, but we'll change that," she says glaring at me.
"You'll be sorry you said that, I can so take you down," I threaten trying once again to break free but am unable to. "What are these things made of anyway?" I ask getting frustrated and exhausted.
"That's for me to know and you to never to find out," she taunts as she takes out a device places it on my neck and activates it.
Soon a wave of electricity rushes through my body, it feels like my muscles are going haywire, "Hey what's the big idea," I manage to get out once the shock leaves my system.
"Don't worry, it won't kill you, just teach you not to speak out like that," she hissed smiling, "besides we're doing you a favor," she told my before she walked out of the room laughing.
"HEY WAIT! AT LEAST TELL ME WHERE I AM?" I shout but the only reply I get is my own echo and the beating of my heart.
Lock
"How's our subject doing," I asked Shock as she walked into the chamber where I was reading the text for ceremony. Everything was in order we just needed for the moon to rise and we could begin.
"He has a big mouth, but he should be quiet now," she says pointing the electric prod in her pocket with a smile. "How's the spell coming along," she asks looking at the book from over my shoulder.
"Everything's ready and I've given Barrel some candy laced with Deadly Nightshade so he won't mess up anything," I tell her pointing to a sleeping Barrel in the corner of the room.
"Good, I can't wait for this to begin," she says anxiously, "Soon Halloween Town will have a new ruler and Jack will be no more," she cackles as I join in thinking of chaos that will soon begin.
Vlad
"Jasmine and Samantha have quiet too quiet," I told Maddie as I looked out the window of my mansion. Whenever those two are quiet it's usually a sign that they are going to ruin my plans and I can't afford that now.
Maddie leapt from my arms and walked over to my desk, "Call on a ghost to take of them, why Maddie that's brilliant," I say as I follow her to the desk. "But what ghost to call," I tell looking at a list of clients.
My cat meowed at me and a placed her paw on a name on the list, "Why Maddie you genius, you've done it again," I said as she revealed who she picked for this mission. "This is going to be fun," I told her as I transformed into Plasmius and left for the Ghost Zone to find my employee.
