Chapter V: Discoveries

Lock

"Lock! Shock! I think our problems are solved!" Barrel said as he came racing into the hideout with some supplies needed for the potion.

"What do you mean sugar breath," Shock snapped as she stirred the mixture, by the now the bugs had became a beautifully disgusting green slime.

"I heard some ghosts talking and they said they said they saw something called the Halfa," he said excitedly as he went to take a taste of the stew only have his hand put in a mouse trap by an angry Shock.

"What's a Halfa?" I asked confused as I had never heard the term before.

"Let's see…here we are Halfa: a creature that is half human half ghost. I think for once Barrel's deadweight brain actually worked," she said looking up the word in a book with a malicious smile. "The only thing is how are we going to catch him?" she asks trying to think up a plan.

"I think for once we should let someone else have the fun. Jack's bound run into him, I say we let him find and then when he's distracted we nab ourselves a Halfa," I tell her thinking of how much of a genius I am.

"Brilliant, let someone else do the work allowing us to take the prize," she said cackling madly.

"Yeah," Barrel said still trying to take sip of the brew only to be stung by a scorpion let loose by Shock.

"Come on we have to get ready for our guest of honor," she said as we left to prepare for the Halfa's arrival.

Sam

"Okay Jazz, do you have the Fenton Phones?" I ask her as I look at a list of items I thought we would need to find Danny.

"Check," she said as she placed in her ears, "Do you have the Fenton Finder?" she asks as she turns on the phones.

"Yes, along with the Thermos," I tell her showing her the Fenton Thermos in my knapsack, "Do you have the GPS device in case we get lost?" I ask her as I adjust the sack so it rests comfortable on my shoulders.

"Yes, I think we're ready," Jazz says as we start our trek through the forest in hopes of finding Danny safe and sound.

Sally

Lately things have been hectic, ever since that book was stolen all that Jack and the Mayor talk about is this 'Halfa' and whether it means that Pariah Dark had returned or not. He hasn't been like this since he discovered Christmas, so obsessed with finding the answer; I hope this does not end in disaster.

I decided to take a walk to get away from the chaos at home. The Town never looked better, since Oogie Boogie was destroyed. People are coming out more and seem happier. Even Dr. Finklestein seems happier (if that's even possible).

I was walking to the mausoleum (that's where I go when I want peace and quiet), when I saw something near the gates.

I walk towards it and find a young boy, he look no more than 14, with white hair dressed in a black and white jumpsuit. He had burns all over his body and was unconscious.

I kneel down and to my relief discover he has pulse, "Thank goodness," I sigh but quickly realize that he needs medical help. So, I gently pick him up and carry back home, hopefully Jack will have something to help him.

Vlad

Knowing those blasted pests, already they're searching for Daniel. I can't have them find them so soon, I need to distract them.

I press a button on my desk, "Skulker?" I speak through the intercom with a smile on my face.

"Yeah, boss," the hunter asks waiting for orders.

"I need you to go the forest and keep Daniel's friends busy for awhile," I tell him with any luck by the time his friends find Daniel; he will be nothing but an empty jumpsuit allowing me to destroy Jack and take Maddie for myself.

"You got it," he says as he signs off and leaves to do my bidding.
