Chapter 1:
Acacia strolled along the graveyard path, examining the broken tombstones along the way. Over the hill, she could just see the top of the Hanging Tree's tree. Carried by the faint breeze, Acacia could hear the band starting one of their most famous songs. A Halloween Town favourite.
Boys and girls of every age,
Wouldn't you like to see something strange?
Come with us and you will see
This, our town of Halloween…
There were no lyrics to the music they played now, but every Halloween Towner knew the song's lyrics. She hummed along, avoiding a patch of briars that had grown out from the old cemetery's gate. Acacia stopped, curious. Nobody had been down that way for ages, nobody had walked along spiral hill for at least a year. She smiled dangerously, and placed one foot in between the gate bars. When they held, Acacia started her way to the most famous spot in Halloween Town history.
She always had been a sucker for adventure.
