Anote-20 chapters woo hoo! Leave a review.

Jack looked around hoping there would be a way to get out. But the place was dark except for the light that shined on him. There was no hope for him escaping.

"You know Jack, It's a shame. That Rag doll will be awfully lonely when you are gone." Jack look straight at Oogie. "But don't worry I…"

"Oogie! I swear to god I will skin you alive and put your bugs in to a blender if you finish that sentence!" Jack shouted in a raspy growl. Oogie stepped back a look of horror on his face. Soon Oogie started to laugh. "What's so funny?" Jack asked.

"Oh Jack You…Do you really think… that making your eye's glow red… can strike me with fear!" Oogie said laughing. "I'm The Oogie Boogie Man for crying out loud." He turned away to a small chest. He started to rummage through it. "As for your Doll face I'll make sure she won't be lonely. Personally."

"I'll tear you to shreds!" Jack threatened in a ferocious growl. Jack stop suddenly and realized that his hands were in fist. They weren't like that when he woke up.

"Oh Jack stop it." Oogie begged laughing. "My seams." Jack wasn't listening. He could move his fingers. Whatever Oogie paralyzed him with must have been slowly wearing off. He found that he could move his wrist. He quickly held his hands still so Oogie wouldn't notice. There was a small ray of hope. If he could move his lower arm he could summon Zero to him. But how long would that take? Oogie might have just eaten him by that time. For the first time in Jack's line of business, he hoped the citizens where looking madly for him. He had to distract Oogie.

"Don't think that ending me will be a victory Oogie! The citizens will be searching for me, and once they find out what you did, they will be hunting you down." Jack warned him.

"What makes you think that they will find you? Even if they come close I have several booby traps setup. Speaking of booby traps Doll face has…" Oogie started.

"Shut your sick mouth. There is no way in hell I'll let you touch Sally! She's mine! You hear me!" Jack yelled. Oogie once again back handed Jack.

"Blah! Blah! Threat! Threat! Is that all you can do? If you do not keep your mouth shut…" He asked. Jack spit out some of his blood on Oogie's face.

"You hit like a pussy." Jack retaliated with a grin filled with blood.

"I am going to make you regret that. Pumpkin boy." Oogie said darkly. He turned and walked into the darkness.

"Oh I am so scared!" Jack shouted sarcastically, but immediately changed his tone when Oogie returned.

"You should be." Oogie smirked pulling out a crow bar. Jack braced himself for pain that was going to come. Oogie raised the crowbar over his right shoulder and swung down hard. It smacked against Jack lower spine with an unpleasant crack. The pain shot that through him was so sudden and so painful, that the grown of pain that would of came out was cut off for a gasp, and Oogie didn't stop there he swung over and over until jack was coughing up blood. Once Oogie was done Jack was covered in his own blood, and his vision was blurred.

"Sally please be safe." he thought as he blacked out.

Jack was right citizens had been looking for him ever in view of the fact that Sally woke up and discovered Jack was gone. No one was at home, no one was at work, and not a single shop was open. Everyone was out looking for Jack. Sally was staying with the Mayor. He convinced her to stay with him. They both drove through the town checking every single spot Jack could been hidden or taken. No grave stone was left un-dug.

"Mayor What if we're too late? What if Jack is gone?" Sally asked about to burst into tears.

"Miss Sally, Jack is strong. He can handle anything. He did fall over two thousand feet and managed to walk home fine." The Mayor said. By the sound of his voice Sally could tell he was as unsure as she was. Sally stepped of the car and run up to the spiral hill. She got to the top and looked around. She put her hands to her mouth and called.

"Jack!" Her voice echoed. She waited to hear a reply. She called again. "Jack!" The only reply she got was from the wind. Tears started to roll down her face. She was scared for him. As the wind continued to blow , Sally could of sworn she heard Jack singing the song he sung to her on that Christmas a few years back. The mayor walked up next to her. He handed her a blanket. Sally wrapped it around her shoulder's.

" Miss Sally I need to check up on the other groups." The Mayor said.

"You go ahead I'm going to look here." She said. The Mayor opened his mouth to argue but decided not to. He tipped his hat to her, walked back to the car and hopped in.

"I'll come back later, and I'll sound the alarm if we find him." He said starting the car. Sally nodded as he drove off. She walked through the grave yard. Occasionally calling for Jack. Once she had walked past Oogie's abandoned layer. It had been checked out earlier. She thought about turning around but something caught her eye. A piece of Jack's pajama shirt was waving softly in the wind. It was stuck on a dead branch from a bush. Sally examined it. These were the ones he wore to bed last night.

"Don't worry Jack I'll find you." Sally said finding out she was on the right track. She continued to walk forward, actually she did more of a run. She ran until she found a cave. "Jack must be in there." Sally said to herself. She ran forward but dropped suddenly. She grabbed onto the edge just in time. She looked down and saw several spikes. She had stumbled upon a trap.
