I don't like not finishing things, but I recently got done with a messy move and this was definately on my list of things to finish. So here goes!
Disclaimer: As usual, I do not own any aspect of the Nightmare Before Christmas -Her own monster under the bed, Mr. Snuggles, growls- Yes, yes. It's a darn shame v_v
But hey! I guess I own Nameless and Poe! ^^

"What's her problem?"
Nameless looked up from her painful memory. For just a moment, she had forgotten where she was. She had forgotten the small impish children who had been scaring her. Suddenly they didn't seem so scary.
"It doesn't matter! We got work to do!" the witch one pointed out. She began to walk away and the skeletal one followed her closely. "What should I do Shock?" he asked curiously. "You go get the ingredients!" she said in a sing songy voice.
Nameless just sort of curled her upper lip. "Ingredients?"
"Yeah! We're gunna-" the skeletal one began, looking back to Nameless. "Shut up!" Shock snapped and slapped Barrel hard. Barrel winced and rubbed his face. "But-"
"She'll find out for herself when it's time..." Shock said with a nasty little giggle. Nameless just sighed and stood back, looking wholely unimpressed. "I'm just letting you know, I'm NOT scared of you any longer..."
"Oh really...?" Lock said, inching near her. Nameless kept perfectly calm. "Yes. Really. You're just small midgets who've probably had too much candy..." she rationed with a little smile. At that the trio just stared at her, then exhanged looks. Lock stalked up to her and glared, putting his mask on. "No! We're much more than that. You're looking at Halloween Town's number one trick or treaters!"
"Not to be taken lightly!" Barrel added and Shock shot him a rather aggitated look. "I thought I told you to go get the ingredients!"
Barrel jumped then scurried off. Nameless stiffled a little laugh. "I don't care if you were ..." she paused. "The shoe shiners of Jack Skellington himself!"
At that Shock and Lock looked utterly flabbergasted. "I could still kick you if I wanted to. At your height, you'd make the perfect impish soccer ball," Namless said with a grin. Lock screeched and ran at Nameless, but Shock held him back by his tail.
"Lemme go! Lemme go!" he screamed, swatting at Shock and trying to tug away. Shock released him as commanded and Lock promptly flew into a wall from the force of his struggle. She just returned the grin at Nameless. "You're a trouble maker! I can tell. It's really a shame that when Oogie gets here your time will be up!" she cackled and walked to the middle of the room, hovering over what appeared to be a dark, dormant pit. She pressed down on one of the panels on the ground with her foot and Nameless jumped briefly as the room lit up rather brightly. What she saw left her speechless. The whole room looked like some sort of giant roulette wheel from hell.
The pit, now sprang to life in a burst of orange glow. A strange contraption fell slowly from the cieling and began to churn the pit. "Now you'll see..." Shock said softly.
"I got it Shock!" Barrel called, just barely tugging an old, big sack behind him. Nameless reconized it as the sack they had used to cart her here and she winced. If they planned to put her back in it, she'd at least give them some nice bruises before they managed.
Upon looking closer Nameless realized that the sack was moving.
She took a step closer, now stepping up beside Lock, who gave her a nasty look. "Is...someone in there...?" she asked softly.
Her question was hurriedly answered as Shock jumped up and pounced on the sack, bursting it open. Wave after sickening wave of bugs flowed into the pit and Nameless put a hand to her mouth to stiffle a scream. Lock noticed and grinned before shoving her over, in direct line of the cascade of bugs. Nameless screamed as she fell forward. Shock and Barrel just giggled gleefully then tossed the sack in as well. The liquid inside the pit churned and turned a sickly green, emitting a poof of smoke. Nameless scrambled back from the pit as the liquid bubbled up.
She felt her stomach squeeze into a sick not as bugs danced and swirled in the green slop, some even emitting a few small squeals. "Why dontcha take a swim?!" Lock said, pouncing on her back. Nameless screamed and quickly threw him off but as she screamed the pit bubbled up more furiously.
Shock watched then looked slyly to Nameless. "I get it..." she snarled softly then leaned over and whispered something to Barrel. Barrel narrowed his eyes and a gave a grin that would've been cute had it not been so sneaky. As Nameless was dealing with Lock, Barrel came up behind her and clung onto her leg. "BOO!" he screamed and again Nameless screamed in surprise. Shock joined in, cackling. "I have a little present for you dearie!"
Shock then threw up her arms as if in celebration and spiders flew through the air at Nameless like confetti. Nameless cried out and stumbled back, trying to fend the little insects off.
Behind her the pit was now nearly erupting. It bubbled and spewed flecks of green everywhere. The trio paused to watch, all in awe. Nameless backed away from the pit, grimacing as one little spider watched fearfully from her shoulder.
The pit swelled and turned a blindingly bright green then it almost seemed to explode. Namless cried out and fell back and clenched her eyes shut. What she heard next, made her blood freeze like ice in her veins. There was a laugh, but not an ordinary laugh. It was pure evil and booming, like thunder. It resonated in the chamber so it seemed to be coming from everywhere at once. Finally Nameless forced herself to open her eyes, now trembling just slightly. She opened them in time to see a rather large figure rise from the glop, almost ontop of it now as if it was carrying him.
He was large, roughly the size of a hippo, and his skin seemed to be composed of the sack itself. Where his eyes should of been, there were empty sockets of pure black but somehow they weren't like Poe or Jack's had been. There was an essence of malice and cruelty lieing in those black depths. Finally Nameless looked to the wide gaping black hole which was his mouth. Finally he stepped forward and grinned darkly, leaning in at Namless.
He was horrible, gruesome, terrible and scary all at once. Nameless shrunk back, not wanting to be touched by him at all.
"Oogie's baaaack!" Lock said with an evil little giggle. Nameless didn't need to be a genius to know that this was definately not good.
