BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Hey guys, this is my new fanfic based off the Video game Nightmare Before Christmas: Oogie's Revenge (I LOVE IT! XD). Ok before we start, I would like to let you guys know of a few things first.

I do not own Jack or Sally or Oogie or any NBC character. My characters are all mine though. In this story, Jack and Sally aren't together, Jack does have a little crush on my character though but...will they end up together? So if you don't like that, please don't judge harshly but if you wish, you may comment on it.

I love the songs from the video game so I might include them in the story to make it more interesting. But if it doesn't seem to work out then i won't put them here. But if i do and i come across a Jack and Sally song...I will cross that bridge when i get there.

I am always open to opinions, if you have any idea on how to make this story more interesting, do not hesitate to tell me, I wish to make it enjoyable to anyone who reads it.

Also I would like to give a shoutout to GodlyJewel! She is a nice person and she gave me good advice pior to when I started this story, choosing the heroine for me was harder than the SAT's. Also to my best friend, Sea Nako, she gave me a great idea for a Nightmare Before Christmas. Now that thats done, please enjoy!

My name is Safiya, I am a witch residing in the Hinterland forest for I am the Guardian of the doors from the Holiday Worlds of old. I maintain the peace between the Holiday worlds and make sure nothing causes trouble. Although when Jack crossed to the Christmas world and tried to take over…things went disastrous and Santa Claus had a field day on me, making me keep an eye on the pumpkin king more often. I resided in Halloween Town for as long as I can remember, I don't remember where I'm from or who I was before in my past. But frankly I don't care, I don't mind if I never knew. I love my home sweet home. I love Halloween. And…I love...

"Jack I said hold still." Safiya chuckled to herself, once again she finished painted the portrait of the pumpkin king, Jack Skellington. He was an exceedingly tall skeleton with thin arms and legs, wearing a pin-striped suit with a bat bowtie.

"I'm sorry, I'm just eager." Currently, they were in Spiral Hill during a modeling session. Safiya was in front of a canvas being held on an easel. It was a painting of Jack wearing a black cape standing on a tombstone surrounded by pumpkins with his arms crossed and had a dominating face as if he was planning something evil. But Safiya had already finished it over an hour ago, she had a book on top of the canvas where she was sketching jack-o-lanterns hanging from a tree. She carefully dipped a calligraphy pen in a small bottle of black ink and started working on adding another jack-o lantern on another branch.

Safiya wasn't a pale woman for a witch. Instead her skin had a sandy hue to it which flowed with her long black hair with a pink ribbon entwined in it. On her head rested a worn out pointed hat with a orange sash tied on it. She wore a night black puffy blouse with sleeves in design of a spider web. Her pumpkin orange skirt was wrapped under her breast and trained down behind the stool she sat on. The skirt was cut in the center which revealed her legs and her brown wedged boots. She bore green eyes around a smoky color, her lips had a pale color to it with two stitched scars on the left side.

"Excited for Halloween are we?"

"Hmm…not exactly."

"Not exactly? The pumpkin king is having his doubts yet again?" Safiya looked up at him with a glare, thinking he would restart what he did on Christmas last year.

He chuckled under his breath and waved his hand. "Do not fret, Safiya. What happened last year will not happen again."

"I said hold still!" And with that he turned directly to his pose and she smirked.

"Are you almost done yet? I wish to see your masterpiece once again."

"I'm almost done."

"But you said that an hour ago."

Safiya smiled, he was like a child waiting to open his present on Christmas or his birthday. Using her magic, she left her pen and ink bottle floated in mid-air and closed her book. "That's because I finished an hour ago."

"Huh? You did? Bu-But why didn't you tell me?"

"I wanted to see how long you could stay like that, even after you broke my last portrait."

Jack smiled, Sally told her about his last portrait Safiya did for him last year. He knew how much she cared for her pieces of art, Jack never saw a more passionate young witch. He stepped off his tombstone and treaded towards her. She placed her book on her lap and gently tilted the easel towards him. Jack saw the painting and grinned with excitement.

"It's perfect! Just frightening! Thank you Safiya."

"If you break this one, I won't paint you again." She chuckled.

"No I promise, I will cherish this one far more than the first one." He came closer to her and gently stroked his boney fingers in her hair then against her cheek, near her scars. For just a mere moment, Safya enjoyed his soft touch and leaned against his bony fingers. But just for a moment. Then she regained her position and gently pulled his hand away. Jack looked at her confusingly, why would she pull away from him? Safiya looked at him once more but a sudden thump surprised them and they looked down. She had forgotten her book was on her lap, but when she reached down, Jack got to it first. Picking it up, he brushed off the dirt off the leather bounded book and read the cursive title from the front; My Halloween.

"My Halloween?" Jack questioned. He was about to open the cover, but she snatched it away from him and pressed it against her chest. "Huh? What's wrong?"

"I-It's…It's nothing. Just..something ridiculous that's all." Safiya looked away from him, looking a little embarrassed if Jack looked in her book.

"I know it wouldn't be ridiculous Safiya. What would be so ridiculous about Halloween?" Jack softly smiled and stroked her face once more before grabbing her chin and turned her head to face him. "Please. Show me. I will not judge."

Safiya couldn't help but softly blush, Jack was her dearest friend and he would always listen to her. Maybe it wouldn't be a bad idea to tell him her thoughts and her secrets she kept from him about Halloween, slowly she released the book from her chest and held it out for him. Jack was about to take it but a honk of the horn startled them and Jack turned his head. From the gates, a hearse-like vehicle with a speaker on the roof top stopped and out popped the mayor. He was a short man whose body was shaped like a cone, wearing a black tall top hat and a suit with a spider bow tie and a ribbon that said mayor on it. You could tell he was panicking, since he had his white sad face this time.

"Jack! Oh Jack, there you are!"

"Mayor, is something wrong?"

"Boogie's Boys! They're at it again! They ruined the fountain decorations, painted all over the town house, and released all the bats across town square. I need your help, Halloween is in two days. I'm only an elected official! I can't stop them by myself."

"But May"-

"Only you can control them. You need to hurry."

Jack sighed, Boogie's Boys always had to do something wrong. He was upset that the mayor couldn't handle it, but he was more upset that he had to leave Safiya once again.

"Very well Mayor, I'll get to it." With those words, the mayor turned around and ran to his car. Jack turned back to Safiya, she was a little sad that their time was cut short. She regretted that she had Jack pose for an extra hour. "Safiya, please forgive me, I"-

"Do not apologize, Jack. I understand. It comes with the job of a Pumpkin King." Safiya gave him a serene look, Jack knew it didn't bother her but it always bothered him. "But I'll stop by later once I have your portrait framed."

"Thank you Safiya and again, I'm sorry." Jack then left with the mayor. Safiya's smiled disappeared and stroked her fingers where Jack had touched her as she could still feel his touch. She sighed and packed up her things, then traveling into the Hinterlands Forest, into her home.
