Chapter Ten

Wrongful Doings

After the meeting Jack didn't feel like talking with Victoria he said they talk later. Jack and Sally went home and all Sally could think of is Abby. They get in the house and Jack heads to his study and Sally to their bedroom. Jack needs to think he is unsure what he should do. Should he go looking for Abby or stop the Trio from what ever they are doing. It just he didn't know what they are up to. He was so deep in though that he didn't her Sally entering the room.

"Jack don't you think its time you came to bed?"

Jack spins his chair around. "Oh sorry dear I didn't know what time it was."

"Jack I know that you're up mess over Abby but you do need your rest."

"Yea I'm up set about her but what I'm worried about is the Trio is up to something and I can't put my finger on it."

"Our daughter is out there some where and you're thinking about them!"

Jack never heard Sally raise her voice before. "I know Abby is out there but I also have to think about the safety of the people of this town."

"Jack I want our daughter home." Sally begins to crying.

"Don't cry my love I promise I'll bring her home first thing in the morning." Jack gives his wife and hugs and looks up to her. "Do you think I was wrong?"

"What do you mean?"

"Was it wrong of me to keep Abby from well everything?"

"I know why you didn't want to tell her about your past Jack but I don't know why you kept everything about Halloween from her, why you kept her from going to school with the other kids in town, and why you kept so much from her?"

"I was afraid of what she would think of me if she knew what I did. I kept her away from the other kids of the town by keeping from school and I thought the private lesson from Lady Victoria would be good for her."

"I know how Abby feels. The doctor did the something to me. He kept me locked up when all I wanted to do is see the town and feel like I was apart of this world."

"I was so upset when you told me what happen to you and here I did the same thing to Abby. I just wanted to make sure she was safe."

"Safe from what? Sally asked Jack but could tell he didn't want to answer her. "What were you trying to keep Abby safe from?"

"I know it's been 17 years but I wasn't sure of the Trio would bring him back."

"Jack Oogie is gone and can't come back. You have to know you did the right thing by killing him and exiling the Trio into the deepness and darkness of the woods."

"I have my reason for what I have done to them and Abby."

Sally shakes her head and heads out of the room. She was done talking to him for the night. This would only lead into a fight and she didn't want a fight. Jack knows he was being hard on Sally for questioning him but he did have his reasons. I can't tell her yet but I might have to soon. That night Jack slept in his study. The next morning Abby awakes and finds herself is a room unknown to her. She had forgotten that she was at Lock's house. She sets up in bed and rubs her eyes.

Lock then walks into the room. "Nice of you to joy us."

"Where am I?"

"My room. You pass out so I brought you up here."

"I passed out?"

"Yea not sure why maybe it was the day you were having after all you did find out all the lies your dad has been telling you."

Abby has almost forgotten about all of that. "So what time is it?"

"It's almost 11:30."

"Do you think I could get something to eat?'

"Yea let me go get you something. Stay here I don't want to get dizzy and passing out of me again. I think you should just stay and bed and rest for the day. I'll bring you some books to read and I'll check in on you."

Lock goes downstairs and into the library to garbs some books. He sits them done on a table next to the stairs. He walks into the kitchen and makes Abby something to eat. That is when Shock walks into the room.

"What the fuck do you think you are doing?"

"What are you talking about? I'm doing what you have asked me."

"I ask you to get Abby to trust you and not for you to be her little puppy dog."

"Oh is someone jealous?"

"Of course not how could I be jealous of that brat."

"Hey keep it down do you want her to here you."

"I just want you to get close to her and her not to close to you."

"Hey just a few more days until the full moon until then I'll give her my room and I'll sleep downstairs."

"Or you can stay with me."

"I could if my room wasn't right next to yours. I don't think it would be a good idea."

"Fine have it your way." Shock storms off and Lock just rolls his eyes. He grabs what he needs and heads back upstairs. He walks back into his room and sees that Abby is out of bed. She is sitting at the window looking out over the woods.

"Hey feeling better?"

"Yea I just have a little headache that's all."

"Here some food and I got you a pop. Oh I found some books I think you should check out. They have some great history them."

"Thanks Lock."

"Well I'll leave ya be." Lock heads to the door.

"Wait."

"Yea Abby."

"I just want to say thank you for well everything you have done for me so far and I was wondering if I could stay for a few more days just until after the full moon. I think that will give my dad some time to cool down to talk to me."

"You can stay has long has you want to and I'm sure when you go home things between you and your dad will be better. For now you can have my room.'

"Are you sure?"

"Yea its ok."

Abby smiles at him as he walks out the door. Then Lock felt something he never felt before. It was all most like he was feeling bad for lying to Abby about going home. He knew that Shock was going to kill her. Why was he feeling like this? He doesn't care about this girl or does he? He wasn't even sure about letting Shock kill Abby because he feared Jack or did he feel bad for the girl. Wanting to get these feeling out of his head he heads to the liquor cabinets in the study to drink these ideas out of his head. He grabs a bottle and sits down on the chair. He then hears Shock's voice from the door way.

"There something new you getting dunk again."

"Fuck off I want to be alone."

"Really because most of the time when you get shit face you end up in my bed."

"I told you not when she is in the next room."

"Well how about down here then."

Lock does what he always does and gives into Shock it was better that way. He hopes that Abby would hear them. Why do I care if she hears us? Why do I keep thinking about her and what happens to her? After words they both past out on the sofa in the study and some time during the night he wakes up and takes Shock into her room and he went back downstairs. The next morning he wakes up before anyone in the house. The full moon was tomorrow night and he still wants to find away to bring back Oogie with out killing Abby. He was going to have to find away to let her go with out Shock knowing he had help Abby get away. He was going to have to come up on a plan and fast. He goes up stairs to check on Abby. She is still asleep but something seems to be wrong with her breathing then he sees the cup next to the bed. He picks it up and brings it to his nose. Yea there was deadly night shade. Shock must have given it to her. He was happy that Abby was passed out but wasn't happy with Shock drugging her. He knows when Abby did wake up she would want something for that headache she will have. He goes downstairs to get food and something for her headache. He is in the kitchen when hears someone come into the.

"What are you looking for?"

"Getting something for Abby when she wakes up. Why did you have to give her that deadly night shade?"

"Oh please you knew I give it to her the other day when she got here."

"I didn't know until after wards."

"Lock what is with you?"

"With me? What about you? Do you think that positioning her is going to help us in any way?"

"I don't need her walking around here at night stick her noise into our business. What if she found out what we really need her for! She wound run off and tell Jack then every thing we work for would be lost."

"You asked me to gain her trust and I have done that. She going to see that every night here she ends up pissing out some how. She will start to put 2 and 2 together."

"It's only for one more night then after that well you know."

"Why don't you take some of her blood tonight when she is passed out and in the morning let her go."

"First of all I need her blood to be fresh and why in the hell would I let her go. She is the daughter of the man I hate. He hurt us now it is time to repay the flavor."

Shock then storms out of the room and Lock hears her go outside. Lock knows she is piss at him for bring that idea up but he was going to send Abby home tomorrow morning. He feels like he had to save her. Just incase Shock's spell doesn't work. With him saving Abby maybe when Jack finds out he will spear him for saving Abby. Now he needs to come up with idea to get Abby home and a way for Shock. He then heads back upstairs to wake Abby and to talk her into leaving the next morning. He would that night get some of her blood and hopes that will please Shock.

So here is ch 10. I hope over the weekend to get a few more chapters up. I go back to school in a week. Chapters 16-18 still need to be written. Reviews plz : )

*Side Note*

I do have something I need to say (if you remember me saying that ch 1-12 had been on my computer for a year) some where I forgot to say that the trio is like 20yrs now. (I know in the movie they are like 8 and the movie is over 18yrs old now but I was going to say something about how slow the town's people age) yea don't know how I didn't put that in the story. I did have it in the story but I have been going back over the whole story and some how it got delete. So sorry about the very important detail that should had been in the story. So keep in mind that Shock, Lock, and Barrel are 20 years of age.
