Shadow kept walking at a fast pace. A single address scribbled on a piece of paper in her hand. Noticing the ominous tower in the distance and the labyrinth of the Acid Works she smirked. In a whisper she growled "I'm back Finky! But now isn't the best time for us to meet..."
Shadow had been to Halloweentown a few times. But only to observe. No one actually knew why she was here. But to outsiders it was evident she had some link to Dr Finklestein.

Lock and Barrel soon burst into the lair. "Sorry we're late Mr. Oogie!" Barrel said quickly. "The stupid witch ditched us!" Lock whined at the same time. Both boys glared at their witchy cohort. "Never mind that, shut up and listen to me!" Oogie snapped. "I have a plan, and you three are going to make sure it works. Now, here's what you must do." He then proceeded to instruct them that they were to prank everyone in town with their nastiest pranks, scatter bugs and other creepy-crawlies everywhere, and basically cause trouble until the day before Halloween, when he would take the town by force. He thought it was a good plan. "And if Skellington finds out, well... You'll wish he hadn't," he threatened.

Shock nodded and grabbed the boys by the collars of their shirts. "Come on, idiots." she muttered. Like Barrel, her name calling and beatings were a sign of violent endearment. Like brothers and sisters did all the time. She couldn't help it. ~_~_~_~ Evanesce paused as she noticed Laura's pace slowing. She turned to the blonde. "Are you tired?" she asked. Laura blinked, then nodded. Now that she thought about it, she was physically exhausted, and now that she realized it, she felt like she was gonna fall asleep right there. "We can hang out later you know. New arivals come first," a black she-cat, long and slender with warm amber eyes, stepped out of an alley. "We can take her back to your place and let her rest a little," Twilightflower, Shadowfang's sister, suggested.

"Lemme go, stupid!" Lock spat as he squirmed and tried to free himself from Shock. "I can walk by myself, you know!" His tail thrashed angrily as he twisted around, trying to sink his fangs into his cohort's hand. Barrel simply allowed himself to be dragged. No use fighting Shock; he knew he'd lose. And he didn't want to get hurt.

When they were outside, Shock DID let them go. "Okay guys, we need to think of some seriously good pranks. Oh, I just remembered! Earlier I saw that angel girl that just moved here with someone I didn't know! And if I haven't seen them before, they're new! Why don't we go give 'em a warm welcome?" she smirked a grin full of evil.
Evanesce and Laura had sat down against the fountain in the center of town. She'd been too tired to walk all the way back wherever Evanesce lived, or afterlived, or something to that effect. So they'd stopped there to give her a break. Evanesce watched her carefully as she started dozing off. The poor girl looked really young, twelve at the very most. Whatever had happened to her, Evanesce was sure she didn't deserve it at all.

Lock's face lit up. "We can scare 'em with firecrackers! And try to run 'em over with our bathtub!" "And throw some of those ghost-infested pumpkins at them!" Barrel added with a grin. "And, and, and, and we can say they hafta give us candy 'cause it's a town rule! And if they don't give us any, we can bug 'em until Jack finds out!"

Shock hit Barrel on the back of the head. "They won't fall for the candy one, stupid! They have one of those stupid cats with them. They've been here a while." Shock was a little dissappointed by this, but that wouldn't get in the way of pranking the newbie. ~_~_~_~ Laura was now leaning against Evanesce, sleeping shallowly. Evanesce didn't mind. The girl showed signs of having a violent death, she had seen so when she had been covered in blood when she first saw her in the graveyard. She suddenly felt a pang. The small blonde was crying in her sleep. "I wanna go home..." she whimpered. While she slept, she was reliving what had happened. Evanesce bit her lip at the scared look on her face.

"Aww..." Barrel whined. That wasn't fair! He wanted more candy! You could never have too much of that delicious sweet stuff, after all. "Are you sure?" "What about my ideas? Will they work?" Lock wanted to know. He wanted to know if he had thought of something good so he could brag about it for the next week or so. Typical Lock.

"Yes I'm sure! Come on!" Shock ignored Lock completely, heading towards town. When she got to the gate, she peeked through. If she'd had the capability to do so, she would have felt sorry for the little blonde girl. It was obvious she'd been through something violent. Evanesce kept one arm wrapped around Laura. "Twilightflower, what do you think happened to her?" she asked. The black she-cat padded over and lifted Laura's shirt a couple of inches to reveal a stab wound. There was another on her back as well. There were cuts on her wrists that looked like she'd been tied up with some sort of wire. Not to mention Laura flinched away at Twilightflower's trying to look at her wound. "I think she was a murder victim," the cat said quietly so as not to wake the blonde.

Barrel and Lock, of course, followed, also peering in through the gate. "Oooooh! Lookit that!" Barrel gasped, eyes wide. He was one of those children who like violence, so it naturally fascinated him. "When can we prank 'em? Can we do it now?" Lock wanted to know.

"Sure. This should be fun..." Shock muttered, slipping through the bars of the gate and into some shadows. She couldn't let them know they were there. Not yet. "Poor thing," Evanesce muttered. Laura had wrapped her arms around Evanesce in her sleep and was clinging to her as though scared she'd leave. "She must be scared of being alone. I can't imagine what it would have been like for her. All alone while she was dying, it must have been aweful." Laura trembled slightly, her grip tightening.

The boys followed Shock. She obviously was cooking up some great scheme in that mind of hers. Besides, if they disobeyed, she'd beat them up. It always turned out like that. But of course, Barrel HAD to trip once he was in town. He froze, then quickly got to his feet and scurried out of sight, hoping he hadn't been seen.

Evanesce's head whipped around. She looked just in time to see them scurry out of sight. "Trick or treaters," she muttered. She gently detatched Laura from her, Twilightflower slipping between the blonde's arms so she'd stay asleep. She needed it. "Okay trick or treaters, get out here," she growled. She'd been here long enough to know Lock, Shock, and Barrel. "And don't even THINK about messing with my new friend!"

Barrel had his "oops" look on his face, but slowly pulled out his slingshot. He bent down and picked up a rock as quietly as he could, then loaded his slingshot and fired it in Evanesce's direction. Lock had enough sense to stay quiet. Maybe she'd just give up and leave them alone if they stayed quiet.

Evanesce jumped out of the way. Then she went over to the shadows and picked Lock and Barrel up by the collars of their shirts. "You should hide better," she growled. Then she started to loose her ballance and let go of the two as Shock ran over and tried to push her over. Then Shock turned her evil smirk toward the little exhausted blonde.
