"DANIEL!" Jack said.
"DANIEL! WHERE ARE YOU?" Sally cried. "Oh Jack, where could he be?"
"Don't worry Sally. We'll find him." Sally and Jack looked around for a while. Suddenly Sally noticed a whole in the ground.
"Jack! Jack I think I found something!" Jack ran over to Sally. He looked down into the whole. Suddenly he noticed a vine attached to rock.
"Daniels was here." Jack said. "I'm going down to look for him."
"I'm coming with you." Sally said.
"Sally it might be dangerous."
"I can take care of myself Jack." Sally said. Jack was a little stunned but he knew it was true.
"Fine, you win. But I'm going first." Jack slowly climbed down the vine, with Sally right behind them. As they neared the bottom they heard voices. Jack recognized one immidietly.
"Let us go!" The voice said.
"Daniel!" Jack said. Also Jack assumed that Sarah was down there since he heard 'us'. But the next voice he couldn't believe.
"Mmm…Let me think about it. NO!" The voice said.
"Oogie!" Jack and Sally both whispered.
"And since your little girlfriend here mouthed me off…" Oogie said as he pulled a saw towards Sarah, "she'll be the first to go."
"If you hurt her…"
"Oh don't worry Jr. I won't hurt her, but the saw will!" Oogie pushed a button on his remote, and the saw began to spin towards Sarah.
"NO!" Daniel yelled. Sarah tried to back away, but the restraints were too tight. The saw was one inch away from her face. Suddenly it stopped. She sighed with relief.
"WHAT?" Oogie yelled. "WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS DUMB…" But before he could finish his sentence he turned around to be face to face with a tall skeleton man.
"Hello Oogie." Jack said. He gave Oogie a deathly look. Meanwhile, Sally ran over to Daniel and Sarah and undid there restraints.
"Come on kids." She got them together in an area of the room where they wouldn't get hurt.
"J-J-Jack." Oogie said. "It's been a while." Suddenly he got an evil look on his face. "But no long enough!" He pushed another button on his remote. Suddenly two cages dropped down. One over Jack and one over Sally, Daniel and Sarah. Oogie laughed hysterically. He then walked over to Jack's cage and opened the door.
"Are you mad?" Jack asked.
"No." Oogie said. "But see those two craps tables over there?" He pointed to two craps tables. They were like elevators only there was nothing to cover them, and there was no stop button.
"Yes?" Jack said.
"You're going to walk over there and let me tie you to that table." Oogie said.
"And what in the universe would make you think that I would ever do that?" Jack asked.
"Because if you don't, those people over there could get hurt." Oogie said as he pointed to the cage with Sally, Sarah, and Daniel in it.
Jack got a frightened look on his face that no one had ever seen, since he was the Pumpkin King. But he loved his family and he didn't want them to get hurt. He looked at Oogie with a defeated face. He slowly walked towards the two craps tables, and let Oogie put the restraints on. He chuckled a bit. Then he slowly walked over to the cage with Sarah, Sally, and Daniel in it. He opened the cage and grabbed Sally by the wrist.
"Let me go!" Sally screamed. Oogie only laughed. He closed the door leaving Sarah and Daniel helpless.
"MOM!" Daniel screamed. "NO, DON'T HURT HER!"
Jack was furious. "LET HER GO!" He screamed as Oogie brought Sally over to the other craps table. "YOU PROMISED YOU WOULDN'T HURT HER!"
"I never promised that." Oogie said as he laughed.
Meanwhile Daniel was banging on the cage hoping that it might open, but it didn't. "Mom. Dad." Daniel whispered. "What have I done? This is my entire fault. I shouldn't have…" But before he could finish his sentence, he heard the cage door rattling. He turned to see Sarah trying to do something with the lock.
"Sarah…" Daniel asked. "What are you doing?"
"I'm trying to pick the lock. When your parent always try to keep you in your room and out of your tree house, you gott'a know how to pick a lock." She tampered with the lock for a while until she finally got it.
"Yes!" She said. She slowly opened the cage door.
"Alright I think we should…" But Sarah was interrupted by Daniel.
"Why are we using your plan?" He asked.
"Because your plan didn't work."
"Good point. Continue."
"Okay, you take Oogies remote and distract him. I'll get your parents."
"Good plan."
So Daniel ran over and grabbed Oogie's remote.
"Oogie please let Sally go." Jack pleaded.
"Never. You shall both die for what happened to me. But don't worry this is a quick death. Usually." Oogie reached for his remote, but it wasn't there. "What the…"
"Hey Oogie." A voice said. Oogie turned around to see Daniel holding his remote. "Looking for this?"
"Hand it over now!" Oogie said angrily.
"Not a chance." Daniel said. He started to run, and Oogie chased him. Meanwhile Sarah snuck past them over to Jack and Sally.
"Hold on Mr. and Mrs. Skellington." Sarah said. "I'll have you out in a second." She first undid Sally's restraints. Then she did Jack's.
"Thank you." Jack said. He then noticed Oogie and Daniel both trying to take the remote. Suddenly Daniel's hands slipped and he flew back into the wall.
"YES!" Oogie said. He turned around and then pushed the button. The two crap tables dropped at a fast speed. 30 seconds later, he heard a huge crash.
"He's dead!" Oogie said. "He's finally dead." He laughed, but as he looked over the edge he didn't see any bones, or leaves, or clothe on the ground. "What the…"
"Hey Oogie." Jack said. Oogie turned around to see Jack holding a crane. "Bye-bye." He let go of the crane. It hit Oogie, and he couldn't keep his balance, and he fell over the edge. 30 seconds later everyone heard a splat! Jack looked over to see spattered bugs all over the floor.
"Eww." He said. "Come on everyone let's go home. All of us." SO everyone climbed up the vine leaving Oogie's lair.
LONG CHAPTER. Sorry it took so long to post. I have been super busy!
