Beyond all Doors
Chapter 2:Thankful Jack
It was yet another dreadful day in Halloween Town but if you knew its citizens you realized that was good. Jack Skellington and his now girlfriend Sally sat atop Spiral hill where the had just finished their romantic picnic. Sally's head lay in Jack's lap as he ran his boney finger through her yarn like hair which she found very soothing. A hummed a catchy tune as he would often do as she slowly but he would not be there when she awoke.
Jack grunted as he woke up, startled , the last thing he remembered was humming to Sally when someone hit him from behind! He had a sack of some sort over his head preventing him from seeing anything and could tell his limbs had been restrained. "now listen here!" Jack said quite sternly "worry not Jack" he heard a voice say as the sack was lifted and Bernard and the rest of Christmas town was now in full view. " What's this?" jack asked as he began singing " what's this? There's colour everywhere! And white things in the air! Whats this mad elves all around me! No monsters to be found!" "Ahem" Bernard cut him off "Now is not the time for song Jack." "Well what is it you want?! What is the meaning of all this?!"
"Well you see Jack Santa has been kidnapped... again." Bernard explained "It wasn't me this time Sandy and I have moved past all that we're friends even!" Jack pleaded "Yes I figured as much , you're crazy not stupid we actually were hoping you could assist us." " And I'm tied up because?" "As I said Jack you're not stupid but you are crazy these restraints are merely a precaution against your unpredictability." " Fair enough I'll help , can i be untied now?" Bernard undid the ropes and Jack Stood easily twice the size of everyone in the crowd. "You could have just asked you know. So where to now?" "I believe our first stop should be Mr. Claus's Bedroom , he as last seen going to sleep the other night."
Jack spent about twenty minutes searching the room from top to bottom when he suddenly stopped at the window sill and picked something up to look at closely. " Any reason there would be a feather in this room?" "The piilows are stuffed with feathers" Bernard replied "Turkey feathers?" "Nnno" "I've seen This somewhere before." " where?" "why a door of course!"
well thats it it for this chapter i'm sure you can tell where this may be going but it's good i promise. Let me know what you guys think!
