Chapter 14: Jack's Lullaby

Will had made her way back to her room Jack being unseen by her. She now calmly lied on her bed starring at the moldy and falling apart celling.

"A mystery man? Just what I need. The dude better be Matt or we are gonna have some serious problems." She said with a sigh, she rolled her eyes and quickly got out of bed.

"I need some air." She announced as she opened the doors to the balcony. (yes, the room now magically has a balcony). She sighed once more and leaned on the railing.

"Why is everything so confusing?" She asked herself. "As if my life isn't weird and complicated enough." She stated shaking her head in disappointment.

"Great, now Alisi, Skullgal, and I are clueless, wait, who?" Just then a knock on her door made her jump and run back into the room to answer it. She didn't even hesitate to answer it, she wasn't surprised to see it was Jack.

"Hi." He greeted calmly, she smiled sweetly and gestured for him to come in. He nodded gratefully and walked in, only to sit on the bed.

"So I take it you find the room and the house to your liking?" He asked, she nodded politely.

"Yes it's very roomy, thank you so much for letting me stay here Jack." She thanked, sitting on the floor a few feet from the bed.

"No problem at all, you still must be quite shaken up from earlier events." He replied, she nodded.

"Yeah, you got that right. Some time huh?" She asked, he chuckled at this and nodded. A moment of strange silence came between the two. After Jack had finally snapped out of his daze he quickly cleared his throat and checked his imaginary watch.

"Oh my, look at the time it certainly is getting late. We both should get to sleep." He said getting up and heading out, however Will didn't move; she just sat there starring at the ground with a sort of scared look in her eyes. Jack had turned back and noticed this, he cocked a would be eyebrow in confusing and slowly walked back in.

"What's wrong?" He asked, trying to comfort her. She sighed and shook her head.

"Lately, it's been hard for me to sleep." She confessed, a look of guilt crawled into his sockets.

"Why?" He asked, trying not to sound too loud.

"Nightmares." She replied softly, he smiled caring and walked over to her.

"I promise you, there will be no nightmares as long as I'm around." He assured stretching out a boney hand. She starred at it for a few seconds before smiling and grabbing it. He helped her up and wrapped her in a hug.

12:30 pm

Jack had finally convinced Will it was okay to go to sleep and he was now snug in his own bed. Until....

"Stop! Please, no!" He heard shouts, his eyes sockets shot opened as he stumbled out of bed. He pushed past everything in his room only to knock down his bookshelf. He stood there expressionless and starred at the fallen mess.

"Whoops, I'll fix that later." He said before charging off again.

He ran full speed down the halls towards her room. He slammed open the door and ran over to her side. However, Will was still asleep. Her face had beads of sweat and tears ran down her cheeks from her closed eyes. He sat down on the side and stroked his skeletal hands through her long brown hair. A melody quietly ran through his head as he opened his mouth.

Jack: It isn't far to Hushabye Mountain,

and your boat waits down by the key

The winds of night so softly are sighing

soon they will fly your troubles to sleep

So close your eyes, on Hushabye Mountain

Wave goodbye, to cares of the day

And watch your boat, from Hushabye mountain

Sail far away, from lullabye bay

"Night night Will, no more nightmares, I promise." She had began to calm down and her breathing returned back to normal. He smiled and continued.

Jack: So close your eyes on Hushabye mountain

Wave goodbye, to cares of the day

And watch your boat, from Hushabye mountain

Sail far away, from lullabye, bay

He quietly finished, and by this time Will was sleeping calmly. He smiled in satisfaction and got up from the bed silently.

"Please sleep soundly Will." He said before walking out, a small smiled graced her lips.

Will's dream

Her and the mystery man from earlier in the day again gracefully glided across the floor. The music they were dancing to seemed to be a lullaby, so assuring, so....sweet. She smiled as the man twirled her around and pulled her in close.

"I wish I knew who you were." She spoke hoping to get something back, he nodded.

"Perhaps another time." He said, his voice, along with his appearance seemed to be a mystery as well. Her dream was making it hard to tell.

"When your ready to know, the mystery will be revealed." He added, she sighed and slightly pulled apart from him.

"But I am ready." She said, trying not to sound stern, she was determined to find out.

"You mouth may say that, but this." He pointed to her heart. ""Is saying something different." He said, she sighed and rolled her eyes.

"My dreams are so corny." She said mostly to herself, a small chuckle escaped his lips. The two linked hands and pulled in close, just then a noise disturbed the peaceful moment. Will quickly let go and looked around.

"What was that?" She asked, the man shrugged and looked around himself.

"It's something outside of my dream." She concluded, she turned to her mystery man and walked up to him.

"I need you to do me a favor." She commanded more than asked, he nodded.

"Anything." He replied, she had a determined look under her mask.

"Smack me." She said plainly, he looked abashed.

"What?" He asked, astonished.

"Smack me, I need to wake up." She ordered again, he shook his head.

"I could never do something like that." He said.

"Please." She asked, her voice getting sweet and soft. He thought for a second but nodded. She closed her eyes as a smack went across her face.

She sprung up into a sitting position and looked around frantically. She then held her cheek in pain.

"Ow." She whispered, then she had remembered what she got smacked for. She got up from bed and looked around, her hands glowing a soft red. Will then felt the presence of someone else in the room, she quickly zipped around a froze. However the words still managed to escape her lips.

"Oogie Boogie."
