The next day before school started Violet walked with Ralph and Sabrina. Violet couldn't stop thinking about that green hat and why her parents don't want her to wear it anymore. Ralph notice Violet is in deep thought so he ask "Violet, are you okay"? Violet looked at him and said "well last night I found this green old looking hat that was in the basement. I wear it and I like how it look on me. So I show it to dad when he came home and he just was like he didn't even like it or something. So mom put it away and told me not to bring it up ever again". Ralph and Sabrina knew what she was talking about and they look at each other. Violet saw their looks and ask "what's wrong"? Ralph said "well you know about your grandfather". Violet ask "my grandfather? You mean Dr. Finklestein"? Ralph was a bit shock and ask "didn't Jack tell you about his father"? Violet shook her head and Ralph continue. "well your grandfather Williams was taken away into the Hinterlands by the shadow group and was never seen again". Violet put her hands over her mouth and said "that's horrible". Sabrina said "but my daddy tell me that there is a tale that Williams is still alive somewhere deep in the woods". Violet said "wow, I wonder why dad never told me about this". Ralph said "maybe because he doesn't want to remember about it. I think when you wear that green hat it reminded him of his father. Your grandfather worn that hat when his father was killed". Violet shook her head and said "that's terrible". Sabrina nodded and said "he may be still alive in the Hinterlands". Violet said "that's great then we must find him". Ralph said "he may not because all was left was his hat". Violet looked at Ralph and said sternly "it doesn't mean that he is dead. Maybe he lost it doing those shadows taking him". Sabrina nodded "it could be possible". Ralph sigh and said "oh I guess that could be possible". Violet ask "how much time do we have before school start"? Sabrina said "um... about an half in hour". Violet smiled and said "that plenty of time. We go in the library and see if there is something that may be about my grandfather disappearance". Ralph said "I don't know, no one knows where he may be".
Violet said "well we must try and see if we can find him". The three friends went to the library to see if they could find something about Williams. The library is old and big, more like an abandoned library. They went in and they went to the section where it's all about the history of Halloween Town. They found a few books about Williams but they couldn't find anything that may tell them that Williams may be alive. Then Sabrina was putting a book away when she happen to accidentally drop a blue shiver book on the ground when she pick it up she saw that there was a entrance that never was there before opened up. Sabrina jumped and said "guys look". Violet and Ralph got up to see what Sabrina was looking at. They too happen to see the entrance and were surprised. Ralph look at Sabrina and ask "how did you got that to open up". Sabrina shrug and said "I drop this book and then the next thing I knew it open up". Violet said "you two stay here I'll be back". Ralph and Sabrina were a bit worry but they stay back until Violet return. Violet went into the entrance and saw a whole lot of bugs crawling around the room. There were mice looking for food and whole lots of cobwebs all over the place. Violet kept continue in further in the room until she happen to spot a dusty sturdy like stand in the back of the room. Violet walk up to it and happen to spot a red and golden like book on the stand. She wipe of the dust and cough a little by the dust.
Violet looked at the title and it read "Hidden Truth of Williams Skellington". Violet smiled and said "this has to be it, but I wonder why it's doing all the way in this old room"? Violet took the book and she ran out to show her friends what she had found. When she came out she show it to Ralph and Sabrina who too were shock to see a book in the room. They all sat down and Violet read though the book out loud to Ralph and Sabrina. "I had a horrible vision of Williams being a slave to Flint and his shadows. I see how they treat Williams with lots of wipes and making him cut wood and carry them so that they can use it to burn their houses. Flint the leader makes sure that Williams can't escape and return back home. I see that Williams tried to escape but Flint and the shadows knew to well and they force him back to work. But I see in the future that Williams will be rescue and return home safely. Whom ever will be the first to read this book will be the very ones that will succeed to save Williams and help him to escape and distory Flint forever". Ralph said "well I'm guessing that's us I mean we're the very first ones that read this story". Violet said "but how do we know where to go". Just then a piece of paper fell out of the book. Violet picked it up and read what it had on the paper. She saw that it was a map leading to where Williams is at.
Ralph said "well who ever wrote this book must have known that we were going to find it and so they put that map there for a huge reason". Sabrina said "yeah, like want us to find Violet's grandpa". Violet smiled and said "well we better start now". Ralph said "but what about school". Violet said "this is far more impotent then school". Sabrina said "yeah, it's a real kind of adventure". Ralph put his hand on his head and said "oh brother, we're in for it now". They took off and Violet had the map in her hands and Ralph held the book in his hands. They got to the graveyard and stopped so that Violet could see where they must go when they go into the Hinterlands. Violet looked at the map and said "okay when we go to the Hinterlands we must keep going till we reach to the seven holiday trees. Once there we turn left and keep going till we find a small camp like site and there we should find my grandpa". Ralph and Sabrina nodded. All three of them took off into the Hinterlands to find Williams.
