Dear Diary,
Sorry for not writing for three days, it's just that I keep getting that bad feeling stronger than it was on Halloween. It seems to happen whenever I see Lock, Shock,and Barrel. I think when I'm done writing I'm going to investigate. Yesterday I told Jack and Sally that I was going for a walk. I went to the cemetery to find Shade again. He was sitting on Spiral Hill looking at the sun as it set. I walked up and sat down beside him.
"Ever wonder if the sun is setting at the same time in the other world? You know, where people who are alive live?" Shade asked still looking at the sun.
"I'm not sure, I always thought it did." I said. Shade looked at me.
"How did you come here?" he asked.
"I walked here from-" I started to say. Shade shook his head.
"No, I mean how did you get to Halloweentown?" he said.
" Well, I remember being in a car when the car stopped so fast, my seat belt broke and I flew through the windshield. Then I woke up here." I turned and looked at the sun. "How did you get to Halloweentown?" I asked.
"I don't like to talk about it." he said. His hands were holding the book he was reading earlier. I noticed that they both were skeletal. We were quiet for a while. After a little bit I noticed that the sky was black with its stars twinkling bright.
"Oh,no. I have to go now Shade. Jack and Sally might get worried again." I said, standing up and starting to walk down the side of the hill.
"Will you visit again?" Shade asked behind me. I nodded and ran back to Skellington manor. That's all for tonight and I saw those brats again so I'm going to stop here and see what they are up to.
Love
Sammy
Dear Diary,
I went and spied on the three pranksters and guess what I found out! Wait, hang on a sec. I am getting ahead of myself. Here's what happened. I followed the three to their treehouse and looked in their window and saw them pouring something into a big pot. I decided to go inside and listen to what they were saying, so I slipped in through the door and hid behind the mutilated couch.
"Okay, now the book says that the second time around, we need to find someone to give their life up and transfer it to Oogie." Shock was saying.
"Yeah, it's too bad that we have to use a stupid book this time. All of the bugs around here are gone since last time." said Lock.
"Well who are we going to get?" said Barrel. Lock smacked him in the head.
"Stupid! we're going to get someone who nobody will notice is missing." said Lock with an evil grin on his face. All of a sudden, my hand pushed the couch forward.
"What was that!" cried Barrel.
"Shhh." the other two shushed him. I heard footsteps coming over to my hiding place.
"I don't see anyone." Lock whispered. The footsteps walked away. I peeked out from my hiding place and saw Lock, Shock, and Barrel walking away to get something. My bad feeling is now worse than ever. I slipped out the door and ran back to town. When I got there I ran right into Shade.
"What the-?" he exclaimed. " Sammy? What are you doing out here so late?" he asked me.
"I was just walking." I said a little too quickly. Shade didn't look convinced,but he just nodded and said " Bye then." and walked away. I ran back to Skellington manor and so here I am. Well, I'm going to tell Jack what I heard.
Love
Sammy
