I do not own jack or Halloweentown!

This ones a long one, bit it's getting good! Didn't have time to read through and edit, so AutoCorrect might have changed a few things. Enjoy!

A knew thought accrued to me. Jack. He would know exactly what to do... But I can't leave! The gate was locked up tight and there's no way of climbing it. There wasn't time to just wait... They could kill him! I just sat tyre for a while, overwhelmed. I have to do something... How would I get in the house? How would I know where they were? I needed to just stop thinking. Stop honking and do something before they seriously hurt him.

The window to Ashton's room. That's my entrance. I reached out for the ledge, but it was too far. I backed up along the branch, holding other twigs for support. I ran along it as best as I could without falling and leaped from the branch to the window sill, where I griped for my life. I dangled there for a second, then pulled myself up. The window wasn't to awfully hard to open, surprisingly. I would have thought the security in this place would be super heavy. Once I was in, I quietly walked to the door, pressing my ear against it to get some sort of an idea as to where they were. Not a peep. I opened it just a crack, as silently as I could. I looked out. No sight of them. But I then herd a large THUMP from down the stairs and closed the door. I herd more, and guessed they were dragging him down the stairs. I peeked out again, and herd the sound of a heavy door slam and lock. I waited a second, and herd two sets of footsteps stomp up the stairs. I slightly closed the door so I wasn't visable.

"Now, what is the plan from here?"

"We have been over this a thousand times you idiot! We wait for our so called pumpkin king, or even better his sticker up wife to come looking." Replied mr. Moore.

"How does up kidnapping them have anything to do with you becoming king?"

I knew it! All of this so he can rule. Halloweentown under his rule will be a living hell... He's a Psycho! He will Lower jack into his home by kidnapping nick, but what will he do with jack and his family? I didn't want to think of it.

There voices faded as they closed another door behind them just down the hall. Here's my chance. I quietly walked down the stairs, my heart pounding. I looked around. There house was... Remarkable. I was blown away with just it's size, but the decor was astonishing. I tried not to get to destracted, as I walked down the neat flight of stairs. There were two doors, one with lots and lots of locks. Luckily there weren't smart enough to put a padlock on it. I guess they just didn't want him to escape... Then it hit me. They were planning to kill him. And his father. His whole family, and take over Halloweentown. I rushed to the door, but herd a door upstairs open and close, along with familiar voices. I looked around with panic, and spotted the other door. I opened it without thinking, and hid inside. I closed it tightly as the distant sounds came closer and closer.

"Dad no! You said we wouldn't kill him! We don't have to! We can wait! DAD!"

"QUIET! I have had enough!" He roared in response.

"But-"

"ENOUGH! I will wait for his father, but as soon as we have him and the rest, they will all perish!"

"Dad no!"

They went up the stairs, Ashton pleading with his father. As soon as I knew the coast was clear, I stepped out of the tiny supply closet. This was all to much.

I slowly and quietly unlocked each lock with shaking hands. What if we are caught? They would kill us for sure.

I opened the last one, as just as I did, the door flew open and Nick leaped on me. He was wild eyed as he knocked me onto the floor with a thump. He took one one look at me and got all confused. I put my finger to my lips to tell him to be quiet. I was panicked. He got off and helped me up. 'What is wrong with you?!' I mouthed to him. 'Im sorry!' He mouthed back. We waited to see if anyone would come investigate the loud no one did, I grabbed his honey wrist and I quickly and quietly lead him up the stairs. I didn't know any other rooms then the ones I had already been in, so I reluctantly walked into Ashton's room. Luckily there was a lock on the door, so I locked it and put a bunch of furniture in front of the door. Once I was done, nick wouldn't shut up.

"What is happening? Why are you helping me? How did you know what was happening? How did you know where I was?"

"Would you be quiet! If they catch us were dead! We need to get out of here and get your father, and quickly. Once they know your gone, they will be after your family."

He just nodded, speechless. I pointed toward the open window, and he emediatly understood. He crawled through, and effortlessly grabbed hold of the brAnch I had been perched on. Just them I herd,

"WHERE IS HE?! HOW COULD YOU LET THIS HAPPEN?! FIND HIM!" I herd footsteps pound up the stairs and emediatly pound on the door. He reached out his hand to help me, and just as the door burst open I jumped. He awkwardly caught me, and we scrambled down the tree. We ran towards the back gate, and Nick climbed up it and around with ease. There was no way I could.

"Run!"

"Come on! Climb!"

I turned and saw Ashton leave his window. They would be out here any second.

"Go get jack! Anyone! Just GO!"

He reluctantly realized there was nothing he could do. He looked at me with large eyes (or sockets) and ran into town. I turned Nd saw Ashton charging toward me. I ran as fast as I could away from him, but there wasn't many places to go. I ran toward the front gate and screamed as loud as I could. I saw Nick reach the gate to his house frantically. I turned, and saw Ashton raise a large branch toward me. Just as it came down, my whole world went black.
