Shock got to her room as quick as she could. She didn't think she could face Barrel or Lock when they got home. She started crying. ::What would they think if they knew you gave in so easily. They would think you are weak and a fool:: Her subconscious told her.::You are stronger than what you led onto Oogie. He thinks you are weak. What would everyone think of you. What would Lock think? Wait what?:: She often found her mind drifting to him. She shook it off. ::Either way i am going to die. I am going to tell them when they get home. No I can't. Yes you can.:: She didn't know what to think any more. What was she going to do?

Then she heard the elevator come back up and Lock and Barrel were laughing hysterically. She started bawling again. She had never been so scared in her entire life. Maybe before she was killed before but never like this.

"Shock? Are you okay?" Lock asked through her door.

" Y-yea. I'm fine" She lied.

"Okay just checking." Lock replied.

(LOCKS POV)

He heard her crying as he was walking away. ::What is her problem. She won't come out of her bedroom. Wait what if she's hurt!:: He thought with panic rising through him::She said she was fine though. But does that mean that she is? Shock never really told the truth about what was going on inside of her. She was not very open with her feelings. She keeps them to herself but I can always tell. Right?::

He kept on walking. He sat on the couch and started eating a jawbreaker. He wanted to clear his head so he decided to go for a walk. He got up and started walking to the elevator.

*Tink Tink*

He froze.::That can't be... No it was just the wind:: He shook off the thought and kept on walking. He got to the elevator and went down. He got off and headed toward the graveyard. He walked and walked till he reached the last gravestone. He sat down and leaned against it looking at their house. Shock avoiding him played over and over again in his head. He couldn't get it out.::What is her problem?:: He thought again.

::SHOCKS POV::

Lock had just the tree house. She had heard him leave. She saw him sit against the gravestone and look back at the house. She had started crying again. She sat in a ball on her bed. She lay her head against her knees. Her neck burned. She didn't dare leave her room though. She got up to use the bathroom. She screamed and collapsed. Her whole body contracted in pain and then went numb. Then her whole world went black.

::LOCKS POV::

Lock just sat there until he heard a scream. Then he raced back to the tree house as fast as he could. He felt he wasn't going fast enough. He go up the elevator and ran to Barrel.

"What the hell was that?" Lock asked Barrel"It came from Shock's room. I called her name but she didn't answer." Barrel replied.
