Well, here it is chapter 11. Sorry it took so long but, I was finishing one of my Cyberchase stories. But here is chapter 11: The Rescue Party
"Seth". Niki mumbled as she got up on her feet. She was a little wobbly but was able to stay standing. She turned to look at her surroundings and nothing seemed to be familiar. Just then Niki turned to her right and screamed. In front of her was a skeleton, an actual skeleton sitting on a rock. Seth shot up from sleep as the skeleton rushed over to cover Niki's mouth. Once he was sure Niki had calmed down he released it, Niki still being petrified.
"Hey, get away from her"! He shouted at it, he started too charge at it. But the skeleton just stuck out his hand, put it on Seth's forehead and held him back. Seth helplessly tried to move forward and punch.
"Whoa there little buddy". He said, releasing his hand making Seth fall. He got up and dusted himself off, becoming aggravated.
"Hey Mr., only my sister can call me that". He said pointing a finger at him. The skeleton chuckled at Seth's behavior.
"My apologies". It said, but then it froze. It looked like it was having a flashback or something, and that's exactly what was happening.
Seth's my younger nine year old brother, but I call him little buddy. Jenna said.
The skeleton's eye's widened.
"Seth"! It shouted then ran over to Seth and started shaking his hand. Seth was very confused. Niki looked at him and raised an eyebrow, Seth just shrugged. The skeleton turned to Niki and took her hand.
"And you must be Nicole". It said, giving her hand a light kiss, Niki blushed a bit. He turned back to Seth.
"My apologizes, please, let me explain. My name is Jack Skellington I'm the pumpkin king. Seth I know your sister, and Nicole I know your best friend". He said to them, they looked at each other and smiled.
"That's great, can you take us to her"? Seth asked getting very excited, the skeleton paused a second.
"Well, I don't actually know where she is at this moment". He said as his expression became kind of sad, he sat back down on rock. Niki and Seth went by his side.
"Why, what happened"? Niki asked trying to comfort him. Jack sighed and continued.
"Well, we sort of got into a fight…" He started.

Jenna was still stuck to the wall, trying to think of a plan. Unfortunately nothing was coming to her. I know what your thinking, she's a which, she could use a spell to get out, but the only problem is she doesn't know a spell that would help her escape. Trust me if she did, she would be out faster then she came in. She let out a deep long sigh.
"I'm going to kill those troublesome trick-or-treaters once I get out of here". She said to herself.
"Aw, what's the matter you don't like it here"? A voice said, Jenna turned her head to see Oogie Boogie.
"Gee what do you think"? She asked sarcastically.
"Why am I even here anyways"? She asked, Oogie turned his head towards her.
"Because, I need to keep you here long enough for that bone head, Jack, to come and rescue you". He said, Jenna smirked.
"You really believe that Jack is that stupid to actually fall for this"? She asked, he gave her a sly grin.
"I'm sure he'll do anything to save his human girl". Jenna's face came in shock.
"Bu…but how…".
"Do you honestly think I would let you go around town without Lock, Shock, and Barrel keeping an eye on you"? He interrupted, he turned to leave the room.
"Won't be long now". He said, leaving with an evil laugh. Jenna just hung there dumb founded.

"Wow Jack, I'm sorry that happened". Niki said as finished his story, Jack sighed.
"I shouldn't have lied". He mumbled. "But that's in the past now, I have to go find her". He said.
"Let us help". Seth said, Jack raised a would-be- eyebrow.
"You're willing to help"? He asked, a little surprised.
"Of course we are, Jenna's important to us, and we'd do anything for her". Niki said, Jack got up, smiled, and gave them a curt nod.
"Alright then, lets go". He said leading the way, Seth followed behind him but Niki stood still.
"Jack"! She called, he turned around.
"What is it Nicole"? He asked, walking back over to her.
"First, please call me Niki, second, do you even know where Jenna is"? She asked, Jack thought for a second.
"Good point, it's hard to look for someone when you have no idea where they could be". He said, Seth and Niki nodded.
"Hmm". Jack said as he put his hand to his chin, in deep thought.
"Ok we'll split up, Niki you check in town square, Seth you look in the graveyard and pumpkin patch, and I'll look in the tree house". He said.
"What is at the tree house"? Seth asked.
"You don't want to know, now split up, we'll meet back at the fountain, if I don't come back in ten minutes get help and head towards the tree house". He ordered, Niki looked confused, and Seth just shrugged. Then they went their separate ways.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Seth looked everywhere not really knowing where he was going. He looked behind every gravestone he found. Once he found nothing in the graveyard he went over to the pumpkin patch. He hurried up the spiral hill.
"JENNA"! He shouted…nothing. He gave out a long sigh, then turned around and headed towards the fountain.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Niki wasn't having that much luck either. The townspeople were very odd looking to her, they all seemed to be monsters and…she liked it. No wonder Jenna came there, it was awesome. Speaking of Jenna, she didn't see her. She sighed, then headed over to the fountain.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Jack crept up to the tree house, but stood still. He was afraid to see what was inside, but then he thought he heard light…singing?
Starring out the window into the darkness searching for a place
Where I can see my happy thoughts and one familiar face
But then that feeling that's inside of me, is so sad and blue
I'm sorry that I felt that way, and was a fool to you.
The voice sighed.
I'm sorry Jack". And that's when it hit him, it must be…JENNA! He crept over to the window and surly enough Jenna was strapped against a wall with her head down crying. He swiftly slipped through the bars and landed on the floor with a small 'thump'. Jenna lifted her head.
"Jack"! She whispered in amazement, he walked over to her.
"Jenna I'm sorry I lied to you and…"
"Jack". She said.
"Please, let me finish, you're a very nice girl and don't deserve to be lied to…"
"Jack". She said again, this time a little louder.
"Jenna please, and well I guess the only reason I did it was…"
"JACK"! She screamed.
"What is it"? He asked annoyed, just then a large shadow had cast over him. A little scared he turned around and was looking at Oogie Boogie.
"Told ya". Jenna said, Jack's face turned to a look of anger.
"Release Jenna, now"! He ordered, but Oogie just chuckled.
"As if". He said, Jack then heard a loud clonck and his head began to hurt. He became very sleepy. The last thing he heard before he fainted was the giggling of the trick or treaters, Jenna calling his name, and Oogie saying
"Nightie night Jack". About 10 minutes later Jack woke up and he to was strapped to a wall. He was across from Jenna on the other side of the room. This is very bad.

Niki and Seth were sitting impatiently on the fountain waiting for Jack. Seth took out his phone and looked at the time.
"It's been 15 minutes, where's Jack"? He asked, Niki shrugged. Seth got up and started walking.
"Where are you going"? Niki asked, getting up as well.
"Going to find Jack". He stated plainly.
"But Jack said to get help first". She replied, Seth raised an eyebrow.
"Niki, we're two human kids who just came here, who are we going to ask"? He asked, having a very good point. A moment of silence went by, and Niki thought for a moment.
"Well, what are we waiting for"? Niki then asked. Seth smiled then they headed out. The two finally made it to the tree house. They crept over to the window and peered inside. Inside they saw Jack talking to what looked like a giant burlap-sack, then they saw three kids. And on the wall across the room was Jenna. They two looked at each other.
"Jenna". They whispered together.
"But Jack is in trouble, we have to help him". Niki said, Seth nodded in agreement.
"You stay here, I'll rescue Jenna then work on Jack". Seth said.
"What do you want me to do"? Niki asked a little offended.
"If I need any help, promise me you'll back me up". He asked. She gave him a curt nod.
"Be careful". She said to him, he gave her a curt nod then slipped through the window. Seth kept quiet by walking on a ledge. There seemed to be a ladder that lead to the floor, once he had a good grip on it he slowly climbed down. Once he hit the floor, he quietly rushed over to Jenna but stopped because he managed to get glanced by Jack. He went wide eyed and gave him a look asking 'what are you doing here'. Seth pointed a finger up towards the window, Jack looked up to see Niki giving him a wave, Jack's mouth hung open.
"What are you starring at"? Oogie asked looking in the directions Jack was. Niki and Seth quickly hid so Oogie wouldn't see them. Seth continued over to Jenna, being as quiet as he could be.
"Psst". He called, Jenna turned her head and went wide eyed.
"Oh my god, Seth what are you doing here"? She whispered.
"Don't worry I'm here to…". But he didn't get to finish because the floor jostled a bit then began to spin. Jenna looked to see that Oogie pushed a button, and it was affecting Seth even though Oogie's attention was on Jack.
"I told you it still works". Oogie said to Jack. Jack however noticed Seth spinning.
"Seth, be careful on that thing". Oogie turned to Seth and gave him a sly smile. Seth noticed Oogie and realized that he had been spotted, his cover was blown.
"Thank you Jack". Seth shouted sarcastically. Oogie glanced at Jack then looked back at Seth.
"Well, another mortal child". He took his red dice and repeatedly threw them up and down.
"You like gambling kid? Lets play".
That was fun, that song that was there was made by me. it was a little song that Jenna sang to say to Jack for the way she acted. Well i hope you enjoyed this chapter the next one should be up soon, please R&R til then. PEACE XD
