The autumn air was cold and chill. Just like any other cold fall
day. Faith, a girl of eighteen, had just opened her eyes to the cold chill
morning. Her window was open about an inch or two. In addition, that was
how she liked it.
She made her bright blue eyes focus on the distant numbers on her alarm clock. If she put it at arms reach, she would never get out of bead. 8:00 it was early but not to early for Faith. Her parents always told her she was there miracle baby.
Faith was born with a skin disorder and a bad heart. The doctors told her parents that she wouldn't live past a year. However, eighteen years later here she is bright eyed and bushy tailed. Because of her skin disorder, she wasn't aloud in full sunlight. However, she could sit under the porch and watch life go on around her.
She had her first heart attack when she was twelve and she wouldn't ever forget it. The pain was so great she wished she was dead. But it passed and she came out fine. There was nothing wrong with her heart. She could get a transplant but the problems would still be the same.
The doctors told her that her condition was one in 9 million. Her heart for no apparent reason would just stop beating. Not because of a clogged artery or of any such thing. But like a sudden freeze in time.
Faith shook the memories out of her mind and smiled. No need in thinking about the bad times. She looked through her dresser drawers and pulled out a black sweatshirt. She then went to her closet and found her black bell bottom's. And to finalize her out fit she got her black commando boots.
Her hair was natural red but she dyed it black. As you could tell black was faiths favorite color. Not that she was Goth or anything. However, black was one of the only colors that she can hide her pale skin. It seamed to blend in with her looks so well even her parents had no complaints about it.
Faith then headed out to the kitchen and had to duck to keep from hitting her head on the doorway. That was another thing. She was almost too tall for her own good. The last time her father measured her, she was about seven feet tall. In addition, was just as wiry as a spider. When she was in high school. She had no friends or any teacher friends. They all feared her as if she was some dead being walking the hallways.
Her nicknames were just as cruel. Thou she did have two favorite ones. Black widow and Draculas wife. Why she even bought a black sweater with a red hourglass. It was her way of mocking back at them.
For Halloween she would always dress up as the main character from her favorite movie. Jack Skellington. It was somewhat funny really, Seeing jack with tits and all. Other then that she could pass as an exact look alike for him.
It was summer now and school was out. Summer was faiths worst time of the year. She hated the fact that every one ells got to go out side and enjoy the sun light. Faith often wondered what might happen if she would just let her skin feel sun light for just a few seconds.
What does sunlight feel like she would often ask her mother. Her mother would sigh, just like the hundred times before, and give faith the same answer. "Its warm, and when it starts burning it doesn't feel to good, now go play I'm busy."
It was as if her mother was trying to keep the sun away from her. Faith didn't hate her mother nor did she like her. She was another person who could go out side and enjoy the forbidden sun.
Faiths father couldn't bare the thought of having a ghost for a daughter and slowly he lost any love he had for her and her mother. When faith was twelve they divorced and she never heard from him again. Faith couldn't blame him. She would run away too if she had the chance.
Faith let out a sight as she looked out the window. She then remembered the one thing that always made her happy. It was a movie she had gotten for her thirteenth birthday not to long ago it seamed. At first she thought it would just be another boring movie but when she saw it she immediately loved it.
It was called "nightmare before Christmas." Faith smiled and ran to the movie shelf and took out the movie. She put it in the VCR and hit play. As she sat down, she remembered asking her mother for the DvD version of it, only to get another sigh from her.
Faith fast-forwarded it throe all the previews and hit play just as the familiar words hit he screen. Faith loved the movie so much in fact she went out one night with her mother and bought the music CD. Danny Elfman slowly replaced all of her rap CD's and her favorite radio stations.
Faith didn't notice it at first but something was different and wrong. The sun light out side begun to dim like it was a solar eclipse or something. Then a gentle breeze started picking up loose papers in the house and flinging them into the air. It started quietly at first but got faster and louder.
Then a sudden blast of air pushed Faith out of her chair and she let out a scream as it slowly pulled her into the TV. With a last scream of help and a last puff of air she was sucked up into the TV and was never seen on earth again.
Faith screamed and tried to see where she was going but couldn't see because it was so dark. She knew she was falling but couldn't tell how she knew it. Suddenly a bright flash of light engulfed Faith and she closed her eyes.
Then she felt the ground beneath her as she was dropped to the ground. When she opened her eyes, again she couldn't believe what she was seeing.
She was sitting on the ground by some bare trees looking at a town. To her left, she saw the familiar hill where sally and jack kissed for the first time and she saw to her right the tree where Oogie Boogie used to live.
It was all so real she knew she had to be dreaming. There was no way on hell she was in Halloween town.
Jack the pumpkin king was sitting on his favorite chair when he heard the loud boom. At first, he thought it was another thunderstorm. However, when he looked out side he saw something was falling from the sky. He wondered if it was an animal or something.
Suddenly the doorbell screamed and jack turned his attention to who ever was at his door.
"Coming!"
Like a spider jack walked down the stairs and opened the door to see the Mayer with the worried looked on his face. "Jack, its terrible, something has fallen out of the sky and all the towns people are too afraid to go out side now. Jack will you go and check it out. You're our best hope against anything wanting to kill us."
Jack let out a sigh and grabbed his door as he walked out of his house. " I'll go and check it out for you." Jack answered the Mayer in a sorrowful tone.
"Jack, don't let sally's death get to you. You know it was just an accident."
"No mayor, it was my fault I should of opened the door not her."
Jack turned his back to the Mayer and walked off to where he saw the thing land. He walked fast but with a heavy heart. When sally died a part of him died with her as well.
Her death was still fresh in his mind as he made his way to the iron gates leading out of town. They had just gotten married and were at his home getting ready for their honeymoon. They were to spend a few weeks in Christmas town enjoying the holidays as a guest of honor with Santa clause. Ever since the Christmas incident, Santa and jack had become good friends.
Jack was telling sally about all of the wonderful things they were going to see when the door bell screamed. Sally smiled and gave jack the last kiss he would ever get from her as she left to answer the door.
A few minutes had gone by and there was no sign of sally. Suddenly jack smelt something burning. He then heard sally let out a scream. However, when jack got to her she was already burn to bad and had died on his doorstep. What happened he would never know. No one saw anything unusual that night.
When sally was buried jack locked his self up in his home for a month. It was Santa who finally got him to come out and start living.
Suddenly jack stopped walking. He found what had fallen from the sky and couldn't believe his eyes. It looked like a living sally with black hair. Her clothes were black and her skin was so white it looked as though some one dipped her in bleach.
Jack hid behind a tree and watched her from the edge. She was beautiful for a living human. Jack knew he too had to have been human at once but he couldn't for the life of him remember anything about his living life.
She looked around and shook her head. She then got up and started walking to the town. Jack then noticed how tall the girl was. She had to be as tall as he was. If not taller.
Faith had the weird feeling some one was watching her but she couldn't figure out where they were. She finally decided it would be best if she found someone and asked if they could help her. Faith knew the people in the town would try to scare her so she readied her self if they did try to scare her.
Fear was her greatest weakness. Though she dressed as the queen of the night, she hated the darkness. She feared what might be living in it waiting to catch her and eat the flesh from her bones and use her bones for a tooth pick.
She knew it might be best if she looked for jack first but she didn't know if he even existed in this nightmare of a world. She finally got to the gates when something grabbed her shoulder and a she heard a soft voice behind her.
"Don't go in there, the village people might try to hurt you."
All the courage faith had built suddenly left her and was replaced with cold fear and horror. She turned around and saw a skull looking at her. Its hand was still on her shoulder. She let out a sudden scream and bolted past the thing knocking it down.
She never ran before so she was a little unstable. The doctors told her if she forced her heart it would more then likely cause another heart attack. Faith didn't care all she cared about was getting away as fast as possible.
Suddenly her chest felt as if it was hit with a sledgehammer and her arms went numb. She let out a gasp of pain as her feet failed to work and she fell to the ground with a sickening thud. Now she felt a new pain much worse then before. Faith felt behind her back and realized as the darkness engulfed her mind. An old metal spike forgotten over the years was sticking out of her back. It went straight through her heart. She knew right away she was dying.
The last memories she had were of the skeleton man grabbing her hand and asking her if she was ok. "Never been better."
Then the darkness fell in and Faith knew no more.
She made her bright blue eyes focus on the distant numbers on her alarm clock. If she put it at arms reach, she would never get out of bead. 8:00 it was early but not to early for Faith. Her parents always told her she was there miracle baby.
