"Great!" Sarah thought as she began to slow down. "Another town where everybody thinks I'm a freak."

"Well you do have flesh." A deep voice said. Sarah looked around, but couldn't find where the voice had come from. There was panic in Sarah's voice when she spoke.

"W-who's there?" She asked.

"Someone who has been banned from the town, like you."

"What do you mean? WHO ARE YOU!" She screamed again.

"To shorten it up, just call me Oogie." Suddenly Sarah felt something crawling up her leg. She looked down to see bugs crawling up her leg. She started to shake her leg like crazy to get all the bugs off. She backed away quickly. Suddenly the ground below her opened up and she fell into a hole. She fell for what seemed like a minute until she hit the ground. As she opened her eyes she saw a huge burlap sack standing over her.

"Oogie Boogie." He said.

Back in the woods…

"SARAH!" Daniel called. "SARAH, WHERE ARE YOU?" What if she's hurt or worse…? He didn't want to think the last part of the sentence.

"This is all my fault! I should have just thanked her for what she did for me back at the tree house, and then left." He sat down a moment to think about what he had just said. Left. He started to wonder what might of happened if he had just left. He would be in a testing lab, he wouldn't have made a new friend, and he would have gotten his first kiss from some ghoul or monster that only liked him because he was the Pumpkin Prince.

"No. If I'd left, so many good things might not have happened to me. I'm going to find her no matter what it takes!" He got up, with new determination and energy.

"And I should probably stop talking to myself." He said.

Short chapter. Sorry. Hopefully the next one will be longer!
