Summary: Emily finds out about Jacks past, how will it effect her? Read and find out

Emily woke up the next morning feeling rather well. She stretched her arms and

got out of the coffin. "So comfortable!" She thought. As she got out she looked

at were the sun was, judging by where it was, she thought it was around 9:00 a.m

to 10:00 a.m."Surely Jack would be up by now?" She thought for a moment. She

didn't know where Jack lived. "Well," she thought, "Maybe I could ask someone

in town." So she set off. However, not really knowing her way around town, she

got lost. She could scarcely remember where anything was. As she walked

around for a long time, until she came upon anything she remembered. And it

wasn't what she had wanted to find.

It was the house that had burned down.

She stared at it for a moment. What about this house made Jack so sad?

"Well, she thought, "Jacks not here right now, maybe I could just have a quick look

for myself."

She walked up to the blackened frame of the house. Bits and pieces were left of

items that once sat in this home. Some of the things were science tools and

others were remains of a kitchen. There was a stove and a stewing machine as

well. As Emily walked through the remains of the house so May thoughts ran

thought her mind. Why did this house bring Jack so much pain? Why did he

not want her to see it? These thoughts and move as she moved thought what was

left of the building, until, her foot steeped on something glass, and it shattered.

She looked down and saw it was a picture frame with a picture of a girl in it. She

picked it up and looked closer at it. It was a girl that looked like a rag doll, she

seemed to literally be stitched together, and next to her, kissing her on the cheek,

was Jack. Emily felt sick and like crying at the same time. She dropped the

picture and walked away from the house with her head down She felt so

horrible inside, and she didn't know why.

What is wrong with me?! Why do I

feel this way? What do I have to be sad about?

Because his heart belongs to someone else and now you know he won't love

you?

She tried to push everything from her mind, trying to think about anything that

might help her clear her head, but to no prevail. Images of Jack with his arms

around that rag doll woman, telling her how much he loved her. She walked

silently back to the graveyard until she reached the grave she had been sleeping in

only hours ago. Not knowing what else to do. She lay down in the grave, closing

the coffin so the sun wouldn't shine in her eyes. She thought about what she was

doing here, why she was hear, what it was doing to her and what point it there

was to it all. She stayed there thinking about all those things for quit some time

until someone knocked on the door of the coffin, waking Emily from her

thoughts. "Who is it?" she asked in an indifferent tone. "It's Jack." Emily bit her

lip as she opened the coffin to see Jack kneeling to greet her. He offered her his

bony hand to help her get out of the coffin. "I hope I didn't wake you, did you

sleep well?" Jack said seeming rather happy this morning.. She looked away from

him for a moment, then looked back up at him with a small smile. " I sleep great,

the coffin was very comfortable," she said trying to sound like her cheerful self,

"You didn't wake me, I was just thinking." She stood up and brushed some of

the drift off of her dress. "Well, what did you want to do? There's still so much I

don't know about this place I don't know." She smiled at him and she couldn't

be sure, but she thought she saw him blush. Skeletons can blush? She thought to

herself, but then her grabbed her hand and he started to walk towards the woods."

Jack, where are we going?" she asked trying to keep up with Jack, "also, you

took my hand!" She saw Jack look down and see he had in fact taken her hand

off, he gave it back looking rather embarrassed, but Emily giggled and put it back

on. Jack grabbed her other hand and pulled her as he walked towards the trees.

"You'll see…" He said it with a wicked smile and Emily decided to trust him.

He walked her thought the woods for a while, they started to talk while they were

walking.

Small things, nothing of importance, things they had seen, things they liked about

each others worlds, but the tone of there conversation changed when they started

to talk about people they knew. Jack seemed to be enjoying talking to someone

other then just the Halloween towners. "It's just that every move I make they

watch, it's nice to just get away once in a while with a normal person, I haven't

talk to anyone like you in…" He trailed off and looked away for a moment then

looked back up, "well, it's really nice talking to you." "It's nice talking to you

too Jack, I'm not a celebrity back home like you are, but I know fun people to be

around, like Bonejangles, he's in a band, but were friends, sometime I think he

may like me more, but he's just really friendly and….did I just say that out

loud?" Jack couldn't help but snicker at how open she had been and not knowing

it. "Is this Bonejangles …special to you?" Emily wasn't sure, but Jack almost

looked sad when he asked. "No, Bonejangles is just a friend, he can be a little too

rambunctious at times, I like calmer people, that's why I like being around you

Jack, you have poise, no offense." "None taken" Jack said as a smile came back

to his face. "Jack, is there anyone special to you?" the minute those words came

out of her mouth she regret it. Jack looked around, trying to avoid the questions

and then shouted, "We're here!" Emily looked around to see they hade walked

into a grove of trees with doors on several of the tree's in a circle. There were

several doors there but Jack walked over to the one shaped like a Christmas tree.

Jack smiled as she looked at him with confustion. "There was a time I felt that

something was missing from my life, something very important, but then I found

this place and I got this feeling, I want you to experience this feeling too." He

opened the door and a cold breeze flew out. "What's in there?" Emily asked as

she peered in, then was suddenly pulled by the cold air and snowflakes, Jack

Jumping in with her and shouting "You'll find out soon!" and within seconds,

Emily found herself in a world like nothing she had ever seen.

Did you like it? was it good? Does it make you want to know what's gonna

happen? well, you'll have to wait (a much shorter wait next time ! ; ) but the

next chapter is from Jacks point of view and he thinks about what he's feeling

and if it's wrong or not.
