Next morning after breakfast Jack and Williams went to the mayor's house for Halloween preparation. While Sally was preparing for the picnic, Violet went to find her friends. Zero slept on the couch till he began to smell food that Sally was cooking. Then Zero got up and flew to the kitchen see what Sally was cooking. Violet found Sabrina and Ralph near the graveyard gate. Sabrina smiled and said "hey, we we're wondering that you were coming to play or not". Violet nodded and said "yeah, well dad and grandpa went to plan for next Halloween with the mayor. So I got free time till this afternoon. We're going to have a picnic". Ralph said "awesome, can me and Sabrina come to join you guys"? Violet nodded and said "I'm sure mom won't mind having two more guest". Ralph smiled and Sabrina flew up and happy fluttering around. Ralph poke Violet and yell "your it"! Sabrina flew off and Ralph ran away and both went into the graveyard. Violet laugh and said "oh I'll get you guys". Violet ran after them. The three kids didn't know that Flint and his shadows had seen them playing and were waiting for the right moment. The kids were having a great time. Violet tagged Sabrina and she tagged Ralph. Ralph try to get Sabrina but she flew a bit higher where he couldn't reach her. "Hey, no fair! You know I can't fly like you can". Sabrina giggled and said "sorry but I can't help it when you have wings to glide". Ralph roll his eyes and he went to get Violet instead.
Violet was running when she happen to spot a shadow standing in front of her. Violet ask "who are you"? But then another shadow came up beside the first shadow and stare at her. Violet gulped and started to back away when she felt hands on both of her shoulders. Violet looked up and saw the same shadow she had seen before with her grandfather. Violet scream but soon she saw the shadow who held her pull out a knife and near to her neck. Violet stopped screaming and was pretty scared. The shadow said "well, I can sense that your a human girl. I believe that you are Williams granddaughter". Violet ask "who are you"? The shadow said "I'm Flint, and these are my men". The four shadows came closer to Flint and Violet and they all smiled evilly. Violet then heard Ralph's voice yelling "hey, let our friend go"! Flint quickly turn to see Ralph and Sabrina running towards them to save Violet. Flint turn to his shadows and yelled "let's get out of here, now"! The four shadows took off and Flint put his knife back into his pocket and took off with Violet in his arms. Violet screamed with all her might. Ralph and Sabrina tried to catch up but the shadows were all too fast for Sabrina and Ralph. All the shadows took off into the Hinterlands with Violet. Ralph and Sabrina both stop relishing that they couldn't catch up. Sabrina got down and asked "what are we going to do, now"? Ralph said "well one thing we have to let her family know what just happen". Sabrina nodded and said "let's go then". Ralph and Sabrina took off to the Skellington's house to let Violet's family know what happen to Violet.
As Ralph and Sabrina got to the house, Ralph pound on the door without pulling on the doorbell. Soon the door open up to reveal Sally and Zero. Ralph said "oh good, we need you now". Sally ask "what's wrong"? Sabrina said "Violet been kidnapped". Sally's eyes widened with shock and fear and ask "what"? Ralph explain what he and Sabrina had seen in the graveyard. Once Ralph finish, Sally said "oh dear, Jack and Williams must know about this but they are at the mayor's house". Sabrina said "I can let them know while you and Ralph go and get Violet". Ralph nodded "I know where those shadows took her". Sally sigh not sure if it was a good idea for Ralph to come along. But then again she remember how he, Sabrina, and Violet found Williams. Sally said "all right, but Ralph please stay close". She looked at Zero and said "Zero, you go with Sabrina and when Jack and Williams find out, you go and help them find us. I'm sure Williams knows where the shadows are at but just encase". Zero barked an agreement and fly right behind Sabrina. Sally looked at Ralph and said "okay, let's get her back". Ralph nodded determinedly and he and Sally took off and went to the Hinterlands.
Sabrina and Zero flew in the air and once they saw the mayor's house Sabrina landed near the front door and rang the doorbell. Soon the mayor answer the door and said with surprise "oh Sabrina, I wasn't expecting you here". Sabrina said "I need to speak to Jack and Williams, it's very important". The mayor let Sabrina and Zero in and he went to get Jack and Williams. Sabrina nervously waited worry about Violet. Zero could sent that Sabrina was worry and he bobbed his head on her arm and whine a little. Sabrina turn and said "your worried too? I understand, I am too". She began to pet Zero on the head. Then she saw the mayor coming back with Jack and Williams behind him. Jack ask "what's going on"? Sabrina said "Violet been kidnapped by those shadows who took Williams". Williams yelled "what? How could they? Oh Flint is going to pay for this"! Williams nearly growled afterwards. Jack eyes narrow and said "we have to go after them". Sabrina said "Ralph and Sally are already on their way there". Jack said "what? They both can get hurt". Williams said "I know where to go. But we better move fast". Jack nodded and he turn to see his dog near Sabrina and said "come on Zero, let's get my girl back. This time those shadows are not going to take my family just like that". Zero barked and follow after Jack and Williams.
Once Williams, Jack, and Zero took off Sabrina saw the mayor's face was turn to a sad/worry face figure. The mayor said "oh this is not good at all. I better let everyone in town know about this". He took his blow horn and ran out to let everyone in town know about Violet being kidnapped. Sabrina follow behind the mayor. As the mayor got everyone gather around he made the announcement and afterwards everyone wonder if Violet and the rest of the family were going to be all right. The the clown on the unicycle got up and yelled out "I knew all about it, I seen the leader Flint". Everyone including the mayor and Sabrina all looked at the clown surprisingly. The clown told everyone of what Flint did last night to him and made him talk about Violet. The Hanging Tree who talked to him last night ask "why would you let Flint know about Violet"? The clown said "I had no choice, he was going to kill me if I didn't. Plus I think he might have heard me and you talking and must had heard us talk about Jack and his family. Because right after you left that's when he came out and that's when it all started". The Hanging Tree could not believe it, most times he knows when someone is listening to them but that night he didn't. The mayor said "oh dear, it's must have been a set up and now Jack and Williams could be in danger and who knows what may happen to Violet, Sally, and Ralph".
Just then a mummy with a nice looking red coat and golden like rope holding onto Darla's hand ask "what? My son Matthew is with them"? The mayor said "he went with Sally to find Violet". Ralph and Darla's father shook his head and said "I got to go after him". The mayor said "but we don't even know where they are at". Sabrina said "I know where they are". The mayor said "yes, but it will be too dangerous". Then the mayor look at Ralph and Darla's father and said "Thomas, it's best that you stay with your daughter. I know Jack and he already had found out that Ralph is with Sally. Jack will make sure nothing will happen to him". Thomas sigh and said "all right, I do trust Jack and hope that Ralph and the others do come back safe". The mayor nodded and said "I do too". Everyone in town had no choice but hope and pray that their leader and his family will come back unharmed.
