Violet and her friends follow as the map was leading them. They came up to the seven holidays trees and then they headed left. Ralph happen to spot some old creepy rusty looking little houses in the circle. Ralph said "guys, I think we found the campsite". Violet look up and then at the map and said "you're right, this has to be it". Sabrina said kind of creep out about the houses "sure does look shadowy like". Violet said determinedly "let's go find my grandpa but make sure we can't be seen". Ralph and Sabrina both nodded and they all sneakily went into the campground and were searching for any signs of Williams anywhere.
Back in Halloween Town the principle called Sabrina, Ralph, and Violet's parents letting them know that the three kids never shown up to class. With that Jack call everyone to search for the three kids and when they do bring them back home. Every monsters all looked every place they all could think of going to find the kids. Jack and Sally were in the graveyard looking for Violet. Sally said tearfully to Jack "Oh Jack, why would she do this for"? Jack sigh and said "I don't know, Sally". Jack hugged his wife and said "don't worry we'll find her. I promise". Just then Jack remember about Zero and he put his two bony fingers near his mouth while holding Sally close to him and whistle. Soon Zero came out of his gravestone doghouse and flew right to Jack and Sally. Jack said "okay boy, we need you to help us pick Violet's sent". Zero nodded and he soon sniff and right there he picked up Violet's sent and barked. Jack said "great, lead the way boy". Zero kept sniffing on the ground still picking up the sent. But what Jack and Sally didn't know was that they had someone following them. It was a seven year old mummy girl with brown hair in a pony tail and she wears a pink dress and on that dress has the words 'Princess' on it. Her name is Darla and she is the younger sister of Ralph. Darla heard what Jack and Sally were talking about and she follow them carefully not letting them find out that she was coming along to help find her brother and her brother's friends.
Zero soon came to the Hinterlands and he went into the Hinterlands still picking up Violet's sent. Jack and Sally looked at each other worrying and thought that Violet and her friends went back to Christmas Town. Jack and Sally went following Zero and they were determined to find their daughter. Darla was kind of excited to go into the Hinterlands. She heard a lot about it by her brother when he, Sabrina, and Violet went to visit Christmas Town and meet Violet's new friends. Darla quietly follow Jack and Sally and she was pretty good to not make a noise or a sound. Jack and Sally never even knew that they have a little follower following them. Once Zero gotten close to the seven holidays trees Jack and Sally were expecting Zero to fly right to the Christmas Tree door. But instead Zero sniff and soon he turn left away from the seven holidays trees. Jack and Sally were surprised and they knew that something was not right at all. Jack and Sally kept continuing following Zero. Darla wasn't too far behind and she kept following Jack and Sally.
At the campsite Violet and her two friends were still searching till they happen to see three shadows standing by their houses and were smiling and began to laugh. Violet, Ralph, and Sabrina were carefully to not let the shadows see them but they did however got a pretty good view. Then Ralph saw what the shadows were laughing at. Ralph eyes widened and said "guys, I think I just found Williams". Violet and Sabrina turn and sure enough they saw Williams walking with his bony hands tied up and his cloths were all rip apart. Behind him was Flint having his one hand on Williams shoulder. Violet felt horrible seeing Williams sad and being a slave to Flint. Then the other shadows began to spit at Williams and calling him names. Violet wanted to go up to the shadows and use her powers on them. But thankfully Ralph and Sabrina pull her back and held her. Ralph said "calm down Violet, we can't let them see us". Sabrina said "yeah, who knows they may make us their slaves". Violet said "I know but I can't believe they are treating him like they are". Ralph said "I have an idea. Let's follow that shadow and Williams and see where that shadow is taking Williams. I explain the rest of the way". Violet and Sabrina both nodded and the three of them went to follow Flint and Williams. Flint took Williams to his working barn where he makes Williams cut woods for him and the shadow. Flint push Williams in the barn and untied Williams bony hands. Ralph, Violet, and Sabrina quickly got in before the door shut all the way. The kids hid behind a red blanket with white curls on it. Flint said to Williams "you keep on working till I get back then I will be suspect to have my dinner ready". Flint went out and slam the door. Williams sigh and he went back to cutting the woods. Ralph peak out and saw that Flint was gone and Williams was by himself. Ralph whisper to the girls "okay, the cost is clear". The three kids came out slowly and they slowly walk up to Williams. Ralph clear his throat and spoke "um... hello Williams". Williams jumped in surprised to see three kids standing in front of him. Ralph said "oh sorry, didn't mean to frightened you". Williams laugh a little and said "oh that's quite all right. But how did you three got here without being seen"? Ralph said "well we sneak here and we heard so much about you". Williams smiled but then ask "but how did you find me"? Ralph said "it's a quite a long story which we'll tell you later". Sabrina walk up and said "wow, so your the real Williams Skellington. Daddy believed that you were still alive". Williams smiled and said "well seems your father is right". Sabrina giggled and said "yeah, I know". Ralph said "well everyone including your son Jack believes that your dead". Williams frowns a little and said "that's what I expected". Sabrina said "but Jack is the king of the pumpkin patch and is a great leader". Williams smiled and said "well looks like he's keeping my advise". Ralph shrugs then said "also he's married and has a child". Williams got up and ask "he does, wow, I missed a whole lot of my son's life".
Sabrina said "well it's not too late, we're here to help you escape". Williams look at the kids and said "but it's going to be very dangerous". Ralph said "ah... danger is our middle name". Sabrina said butting in "not me". Ralph rolls his eyes and said "oh brother". Williams then ask "well I do need to know whom you three are"? Ralph said "oh sorry, where is my manner"? Ralph said "well I am Ralph, that's Sabrina (pointing to Sabrina), and this here is Violet (letting Violet come up beside him)". Williams smiled and said "well it's the pleasure to meet you three". Ralph said "the pleasure is all mine". Williams really liked of how well manner Ralph was towards him. Sabrina said "good thing we have the two royals here". Williams turn and ask "two royals"? Ralph said "oh yes, see after Jack and Sally got married they adopt a human child into their family since they couldn't have any kids of their own". Williams was a bit confused. Ralph said "so she wouldn't give up till we found you and bring you back home". Sabrina nodded and said "that's right and that is Violet Skellington, princess of the pumpkin patch". Violet smiled and walked up to Williams. Williams knelt down and he soon fell in love with Violet. He hugged his granddaughter and said "well I am so glad that my son has his own family of his own". Ralph said "well we better get going before that shadow comes back". Williams said "but there is no way to get out of here". Ralph said "don't worry I got a plan". Ralph went ahead with Sabrina not too far from him. Williams held Violet's hand and they both walk behind Ralph and Sabrina. Ralph peak out the door and he saw that the shadows were arguing and fighting about something. Ralph look back at the others and said "okay, we have to go quick their fighting out there". Williams nodded and said "all right then". Williams wouldn't let go of Violet because he didn't want nothing to happen to her.
They all ran out and quickly got out of the camp before anyone had seen them. Williams said "wow, I can't believe I finally got away". Ralph said "see I knew what I was doing". Sabrina said "yeah, sure you did". Ralph gave Sabrina a dirty look. As they all got far away from the camp they all sat down to rest. Ralph said "whew... that was tough work". Sabrina agreed and said "my heart is racing pretty fast". Violet sigh and said "well one good thing everyone is all right". Violet look up at Williams and Williams look down at her and smiled warmly. Violet hugged Williams and said "I'm glad your all right". Williams said still smiling "I'm glad to be with my family again". They all sat on the rock or big logs and they all rested for a while.
