Shadow had seen all the madness occuring in the graveyard. She leaned against the headstone she had managed to trip over on the outskirts of the cemetery. With a smile she kept watching and thought 'Lucky I was in a place like this. Crazy stuff seems to keep happening. The doc won't suspect a thing. He'll probably blame it on Boogie's Boys'

"Lemme go! SHOCK! BARREL!" Lock screeched, struggling wildly. He had to fight! It made people unhappy, and often caused trouble! "Jack's a great guy. Always has good ideas for Halloween," the Hanging Tree said as he walked. "Don't let his looks scare you though, he's a nice guy."

Bellatrix was so freaked out about having someone else atrack she didn't know how she did but, she threw a flurry of ice to freeze Lock and the cat from her hands. " What the-?" she wondered aloud. " It's you! It's you! Kupo!" a moogle emerged form the bushes. "You are the one I have been looking for......Blizzara! I am Kupo. I am a wizard!" Kupo said in a squeky voice. It had no mouth but it could talk. It was as small as a teddy bear and had a red pom-pom sticking out from his head. "I'm.....I'm Bellatrix..Not Blizzara.." Bellatrix said breathlessy. She was still kinda freaked out! She walked over to Kupo. Usually he would run away but Blizzara and another were two people he needed to look for. He had a dream he would meet two girls and help them with magic. Fire and ice. Bellatrix was Blizzara! The ice element!" Cute.." Bellatrix said and tried to touch the pom-pom. Kupo attacked her pushing her to the ground." Don't touch my pom-pom Kupo!" Kupo said. "OK!OK!OK!" Bellatrix screamed frightned.
Sailor Twilight walked around the hinterlands. She could sense some one was there. Haro zoomed around her head some more, ready to lay down his life for her." Come out, come out, where ever you are...." Twilight said in a so creepy way....You wish you never saw another scary movie in your life." Do you wanna come out and....Play?" Twilight asked, nails turning black and two swords where in her hands." I do....I have been waiting for someone to....Play with....." Twilight said darkly." So let's play!!!"

Shadow checked her pulse, it was finally slowing down. Her breathing returning to normal. She closed her eyes momentarily as she took a deep breath. She didn't know how she pulled it off, but she had succeeded in claiming the book. With this knowledge she'd be able to create her own creatures. However, given her lifestyle. She knew it would take at least two years before she could make anything fully functional.
She cast that all to the side of her mind, right now she was just recovering and enjoying the town of Halloween.

Laura nodded blankly with small, 'hmm'. Suddenly, she had the brief feeling of someone behind her before hearing an enthusiastic, "Are you looking for me?" With a small eep, Laura jumped behind Hanging Tree, caught off guard. Of course, the person behind her was Jack, but she didn't know that. So of course his freakishly tall build and skeleton-ness frightened her. He was the King of Halloween, of course he'd be scary to her. She really couldn't help it.
Riegna struggled fruitlessly against her bonds. Smoke was leaking into her room. Someone had broke in and tied her on her bed to the headboard, and left her there. Apparantly they had fogotten her, because she could hear the roaring of flames, and they had doused her room-and her-in gasoline. They'd fogotten her on purpose. Her room was filling with smoke, and she couldn't breathe. She struggled weakly as her door went up in flames. Finally, her vision blurred over and she passed out. She floated in the dark for a while, terrified. The roaring of flames was all around her, but she couldn't feel it... Riegna jerked upright, heart pounding in terror. She then drooped onto her back, exhausted from her struggle with the heat and flames. She didn't give her predicament any thought, she just wanted a break for a second.
Twilightflower gasped for breath as she was frozen. That was cold! She shivered, or would have if she wasn't frozen solid. It was a good thing she was already dead or this would be even more uncomfortable. Not to mention she couldn't blink at all. The poor black cat had been spooked, and couldn't run away.
"Nuhhh," Ali murmered, mouth open slightly, showing her fangs. "Why'd I wait so long?" the warm scent of blood was so close...she couldn't go get it...she could only hope someone would come close enough for her to bite them.

"As a matter of fact, we are. We have a new arrival, Jack!" The Hanging Tree stepped aside with a grin, giving Laura a small shove towards the skeleton. "It's okay, Jack's a great guy! he's the Pumpkin King of this town. He organizes everything," he explained. Lock would've yelled and thrashed around, but he too had been frozen. This was even colder than the time he had been dumped into the bathtub in the middle of the night sometime in January last year! And that had been COLD! Barrel blinked, then laughed at the sight of his male cohort frozen. "Shock! Lookit Lock! He's all frozen!" the little ghoul giggled.

Shadow couldn't help it, she starting laughing out loud at Lock's frozen form. It was funny to see karma in action. She then stopped rigid, taking notice that the Hanging Tree, Jack and the mysterious blonde girl were nearby. She quietly got to her feet and started to walk off in the direction of the briars (the long way to the location). Shadow knew she could get noticed and attention was one thing she didn't want.

Laura nearly stumbled over her own feet as she continued staring down. "H-hi," she muttered nervously. She wasn't aware of it, but she was shaking very slightly. Of course Hanging Tree hadn't been startled; Jack came out of nowhere like that all the time, the citizens were used to it. But Laura wasn't. "Hello! I'm Jack! And you are...?" Jack introduced himself in his loud, theatric voice he had become known for. He was a good speaker. "Laura," she startled herself by not stuttering. "How'd you get here?" it always made Jack a little mad when kids ended up there. Not directed at the kids, but at whatever their causes of death were. They were too young to be ending up there. "I-I don't w-wanna talk about it..." Laura muttered almost inaudibly. She unconciously traced the thick scar around her left wrist with her right thumb while her hands were clasped in front of her.
Shock didn't need to be told to laugh. She was already rolling with giggles. She couldn't help but laugh at other people's misfortune. It was funny.

Lock, if he had been able, would've started attacking everyone who was laughing at him. It wasn't funny! He hadn't even pranked anyone yet today! Why should he get frozen and not his cohorts? NOT FAIR! Barrel giggled for a little while longer, then calmed down enough to say to Shock, "Come on, let's go do what Mr. Oogie told us to do." The Hanging Tree hadn't noticed Shadow, too busy trying to make sure Laura didn't completely freak out after seeing Jack, like a lot of young people who died. Like the male trick-or-treaters. He wasn't sure if that witch had freaked out. She seemed too mean to freak out at the sight of a skeleton. He shot a wary glance over at the trio. They were probably up to no good, as usual.
(Shock, you sadistic little booger... I swear she's related to Orin. XD)

"Uh-oh" muttered Shadow as she looked ahead. The lockdown of the Acid Works by Dr Finklestein's security was really drawing a crowd. There were too many people. Luckily no sign of the doctor at all. "Time for a change in plan" Shadow quickly went back the way she came. The old burial chamber in mind. She kept to the outskirts of the cemetery.

Laura stayed staring at the ground. She wanted to go home! She sniffled, tears dripping down her face. It wasn't that the people here weren't nice-they were actually very kind-she just wanted to go back to being her less-than-normal self back at her home. She let out a teeny tiny sob. "Awe, don't cry!" Jack said in his still too loud voice. "It's not that bad here, really! I'm sorry if I scared you!" Laura sniffled. " 'S not that," she mumbled. "I just wanna go home." Jack frowned very slightly. Who'd done this to her? He could tell something bad had happened just because of 1) her reaction to certain things such as the way she'd been walking, and 2) he could see the thick scar tissue around her wrists. And she deffinitely wasn't the type to do THAT much damage to herself.
Reigna sat up and looked at herself. She was a little scared to, but she did anyways, even though she was sure she had been burned. She did a double take. Instead of her faded blue jeans and a t-shirt, she had on dark red jeans and a bright red top that only had one sleeve and showed her stomach. But that wasn't all; her pale skin was covered in a tribal pattern of red tattoos. She was wearing dark red boots as well. What was going on? She looked at a lock of her hair-ir was unnaturally red. It had been black when she was...she stopped thinking. And everything, to her skin, was cold. The air around her, the ground, everything. It was like she had a fever she couldn't sweat out. Permanent. ((Hehe, I put a personal pun in there. Panic! At the Disco's debut CD is called A Fever You Can't Sweat Out. XD))

Shadow quickly ducked behind a grave. She was getting WAY too close to Jack, the Hanging Tree and the blonde girl. She couldn't help it, her curiosity was getting the better of her! All her logic and careful planning was at stake here! Shadow remained out of sight (or about as well hidden as you can get with red hair). She knew she had to wait for the coast to be cleared or at least wait till Jack had left.
It was funny, during all of her visits to Halloweentown she had always avoided the Pumpkin King. Perhaps it was out of fear. A fear of being banished because she wasn't deceased.

Bellatrix stood standing still mouth wide open. Did she just freeze a cat and a..A...Rat? A red rat? But Bellatrix (But all populare, snobby girls do this?) started laughing! "Kupo? Kupo right? Mr.Wizard, can't you help them?" Bellatrix asked laughing. She looked at ehr hands. They were normal, no ice, but just pale. " Blizzara.." she murmered. Thne her hands started to glow and she shot alot MORE ice toward Barrel and shock. "Kupo! Watch out Kupo!" Kupo squeked at Barrel and Shock. Bellatrix couldn't take it anymore! She was scared because....Because...Maybe soem pervert who was in love with her stabbed her so many times and when she wouldn't die, forze her in a McDonalds freezer! She ran away crying her tears turned to ice when they hit the gournd. She was running toward the hinterlands. And a feeling came over her. A feeling like she knew someone here....Like she had to meet someone.
Sailor Twilight finally found the person she was looking for, she didn't want to let her see her yet so she vanished in a pink flash and was now behind Ali." Hellooooo" twilight said slowly. Man she was insane! Then Twilight gasped. "NOOO!!!" she screamed and now she was the blonde serena again. Serena gasped. "I'm finally controlling it!" Serena said gleefully. Then she saw Ali and was afraid she had hurt her." Umm...Miss?" Serena asked putting a hand on Ali's shoulder.....

"This is your home now," the Hanging Tree said softly, his Hanged Men nodding in agreement. Many new arrivals said they wanted to go home. But unless people had gotten used to seeing dead people walk around (they haven't yet, he knew; why else would they freak out on Halloween when the Corpse Family paid them a visit?), then they wouldn't be able to go back. They'd have to stay in town. Barrel stared at the ice, then bolted. He didn't care if he'd get punished or if he was called a wimp, he just didn't want to be frozen like Lock was. He didn't even watch where he was going in his hurry to get away, and ended up barreling (LOL) into Jack's leg. "Oops..." He had that "uh-oh" look on his face, like he knew he had done something he shouldn't have done. Not to mention the fact that he was the Boogie Boy who constantly slipped information without realizing it.

Ali would have normally tried to restrain herself-she didn't like surprising her victims like this. Her bites didn't kill, they didn't even change the bitten person into a vampire. It was just a little painfull and knocked them out for a little while. She whipped her head around and sank her fangs into Serena's wrist.
Laura sniffled again; she couldn't help it. "No it's not," she corrected. "Home is only home if you make it so. Just because I live somewhere, it doesn't mean it's home. It's home when I feel at home." She fully believed in the 'home is where your heart is' philosophy. And her heart was still back in her poster-ed, mismatched bedroom with the radio in the corner, and a computer on the desk, and a fluffy pink bedset, and dark purple walls. "Then we'll just have to make you feel at home!" Jack said confidently. He glanced down at Barrel. "Barrel, I know you and your friends like playing pranks, but could you leave her alone for a while? She's new," Jack gave him a stern glare.
Reigna stood and stared around herself. She moved a little, testing to make sure she was actually whole. She was in a forest that looked washed out. There was absolutely no color there.
Shock 'eep'ed and dodged the ice. She didn't wanna get frozen either. Poor Twilightflower was still frozen, and she wasn't liking it. But she knew whoever froze her was a new person, because she hadn't recognised the scent. So the person probably hadn't had control of their powers.
