Chapter two: Wishing on a moonlight night



The townspeople were enraged. This had gone on too long. The mayor tried to calm them down, but was futile. Sally Skellington then came to the hurdled crowd, her daughter's hand in hers. The townsfolk moved aside, letting them pass.

"Listen, we cannot stop them ourselves. We have to be patient." Sally exclaimed. Sally knew well that dealing with the bandits, would mean the second death for anyone in Halloween Town. Riddel just watched the townspeople argue about her mother's proposal. Some said it would go on without them trying to stop them. The witches agreed that someone had to sacrifice themselves.

"You know damned well to do that; we would have to sacrifice Riddel." The doctor called out, pushed along to the crowd with the help of his wife, Jewel.

"That's right. And without Riddel, Halloween town will surely crumble." Jewel explained to the townsfolk that if Riddel were to ever give herself up before it became time for her crowning; Halloween Town would seace to exist. Many became silent at that time, until Riddel herself spoke up.

"Wait....I can go to the real world and ask for help!" She called out, leaving a few gasps and widened eyes afterwards. Riddel frowned. She knew they wouldn't let her go, but she had to try something...

"AHAHA! Oh boy, I'm gonna split a seam!" Oogie Boogie's voice rang out through all of his gambling lair. Oh, how he had missed his home. He got a kick out of what the Skellington kid said. No one could go to the real world! Only he could. But...only the Skellington family could go out to the real world on All Hallows eve. But, it had passed nearly a month ago.

"Well, Oogie...let's just hope she doesn't get anymore....''thoughtful'' ideas." Said a very dark and mysterious voice. Oogie silently cursed under his breath, turned around and gave the shadow a nice maggot smile.

"Don't worry; Oogie Boogie is your man man.heheheh."

For some odd reason, everyone in Halloween town agreed that Riddel could go to the real world. Riddel was to leave in the morning the next day. She went on a stroll in the graveyard a couple hours later after everything was being decided.

Kicking a stone, she walked on and sat on a tombstone. Whistling, the lovable ghost dog Zero came to her side. Starting to sing, just like her father had done before her, she sang the song her mother had sung to get her to sleep...

I hold my hand out to the poltergeist

Hoping he could come and embrace my saddened heart

Constantly dreaming, of the new tomorrow...

I just wish for the one I love to come

In the dead of night

In the darkness reaches of my heart

I'm always screaming

For the yearning in my mind

Can it hear me?

Can it feel my heartbeat getting slower.

I can see it, Your always crying

So as I, I'm falling into the blackness of my own heart

Constantly worrying, of the new tonight....

I just wish for my cries to be heard

I want happiness

I want loneliness

And I want for my heart to be torn apart.

Just to hear myself crying again...





Tears flowed from her eyes. She pulled her right leg to her chest, and leaned her forehead on her knee. She wanted her father back...and yet..that wasn't the reason she was crying...She was afraid.



Weee did you like that song? Made it myself.kinda really corny.but oh well. Make sure to review! Adios!
