Summary: Jack learns how emily came to be dead.
"Emily" Jack said,"A rather nice name I think." Emily just smiled .I still like the name Sally better Jack whispered to himself. "Were was I, oh
yes! Well it all started when I was still alive, I was in love with a Man named Barkis."
Emily stood in the woods waiting for he husband to be to come. She hade brought all the things for there ceremony, and what better a place?
They would get married in the light of the beautiful moon. She hade already placed everything in its place. She looked at the moon with eyes full
of hope and joy, of a new life with someone who was just as happy to be with her. She looked down at her wedding dress and twirled around
eyes closed and a faint smile on her face. She thought of when she had first meet Barkis, oh he was wonderful! He was a rather handsome man
with a big broad chin, and did he ever know how to treat a woman! Whenever he greeted her, he would kiss her hand gently and wait for her to
before rising. She really hade found the perfect one for her hadn't she? Alternatively, maybe she was just giddy from all the excitement! It was
rather cold though, she hade been
there for nearly half an hour, were was he? Emily rubbed her arms and walked over to the candles she brought for the ceremony. Shelit a
match and lit the main candle. It
flickered and sprang to life and it begins to dance and flicker. It was rather amusing actually, like having a ballerina dace just for you or a
musician play you favorite tune just to
see you smile. Emily cupped her hands around the candle to warm her hands. She could feel the warmth start to go into her hand, she though for a moment. It seemed like the
candle was a symbol for something, what was it? She thought about her new life to come. That was it; the candle was like her marriage a light in
the dark a hope and a savor, it was something that lifts you from your sorrow and take you to the place that has no pain. I hope he doesn't
mind I lit the candle ahead of schedule. Then something caught
her attention out of the corner of her eye, a shadow. Was it Barkis? She moved away from the candle towards the shadow. Her heart was
beating out of her chest she could
swear she could hear it echo, "Barkis? Is that you?" She stood there for a moment, why will not he come out? She wondered. Then she turned
a flash of light and cackle and everything went black.
The candle flickered and went out.
"Emily?" a voice said. The Bride turned to see the Skeleton man Jack looking back at her with sockets wide, "you trailed off a bit and then just
stopped " The Bride smiled at
Jack. " Well anyway when I opened my eyes again I was in the land of the dead..." She turned and looked at the candle at her side,"funny, we
both got our dreams taken away
from us." Jack looked puzzled; she turned to him "what is it?" Jack looked up at her looking a little embarrassed, "What is the land of the
dead?" This caught her by surprise,"
You've never been to the land of the dead?" Jack shook his head," But you're a skeleton, you honesty never went to..."But the look on his face
told her all she needed to
know," Well then," she said" Then I'll show you." She stood and grabbed the candle, turned and grabbed Jacks arm and lead him down her
grave to the land of the dead for the first time.
Jack goes to the land of the dead! Or he will in the next chapter...PLEASE REVIEW! I promise to do better forgive me.
