Well, it's been a while. But I'm going to update for the sake fo updating. Sorry it's been so long. I'll finish editing and writing the next chapter soon.

Annie sighed. Her eyes full of concern and worry. It had been a week since Kyra and Kelly had found their loved lost ones in Halloween town. After that weird things had been happening. Some ghouls would go missing, and then come back completely sane. But most of all Annie was worried about Ron. He had gone missing a week ago and had yet to come back. Usually the missing ghouls would comeback within the same day or a few days later. Annie hoped Ron was okay. She sighed and looked around. No one but her was in the shop. Annie had also managed to remember her Christmas life. She did even see it when Jake came into the shop.
"Annie, are you okay?" he asked putting a hand on her shoulder.
"Yea, I'm just really worried about Ron." She sadly replied.
"Oh...he still hasn't turned up?" Jake asked. He knew Annie was really worried. Ron after all WAS her best friend. When she realize he was missing she kept getting these bad feelings like she could feel whatever pain he was in and she knew something bad was happening to him. Jake wanted to help, but who could help them? His father? No, the pumpkin king was swamped with reports of ghouls gone sane after being reported missing. Maybe...another holiday leader! The Irish leprechaun? No, he would trick them like always. The Thanksgiving turkey? No, he was a turkey, what could he do? Cupid? No! He would probably only flirt with Annie (and we can't have that now can we?). The Easter Bunny? No, still scared of Halloween ghouls. Maybe....SANTA!
"Come with me!" Jake said grabbing Annie's arm and pulling her out of the shop.
"Where are we going?" Annie managed to ask Jake as they ran into the hinterlands.
"Christmas Town! Santa can help us find Ron." Jake said slowing down as they came to the holiday trees.
"Really?!" Annie asked hugging Jake.
"Yes!" Jake said opening the Christmas door and jumping in. Annie fallowed and they swirled around for a moment then landed in a big pile of snow. Annie's hair fell a little below her shoulder and was curled. She had green highlights in her hair. Then she had a green dress that fell a little bovver her knees and showed her shoulders. She had green ballet shoes and several green ribbons that fell from where the sleeves of the dress cut off (a little above her elbows). Jake stared for a moment but then they suddenly remembered the task at hand and took off to find Santa.
When the two found Santa they asked for help. He gave Annie a blank book and told her to open it when alone back in Halloween Town. Annie nodded.
"Now young lady please go back home. I must have a private word with Mr. Skellington here." Santa instructed. Annie nodded and left. She ran back to the witches shop. She held the book tightly the whole time. Annie opened the door to the shop and saw only Lotia.
"Hey Ann. What's that?" She asked Annie.
"It's supposed to help me find Ron." Annie said quickly.
"Cool!" Lotia said as Annie walked over and set the book on the counter. She opened it and saw only blank white pages.
"What?" Annie said under her breath. Then suddenly small bits of ink appeared to create shapes and words on the blank pages. Both girls looked at the pages as if memorized by them. Words became clear; but were in a language that neither of the girls knew. Then on the next page a large picture began to appear. When the ink was done with the picture both girls gasped at the sight. The picture showed Ron unconscious. He was in a cage that hung from somewhere. On his neck Annie noticed that he had small marks that looked like someone had been biting him a little too hard. Annie shut the book and walked to her room ignoring Lotia's questions about her sudden snap. Annie re-opened the book in her room.
"Where is Ron?" She whispered to the book. Ink started to form a ratty looking tree house. It looked like it was somewhere in the graveyard..... Annie shut the book and hid it under her bed. She climbed out her bedroom window and ran to the graveyard. She found the tree house and was looking for a way in...
~meanwhile~
Ron sighed leaning up against the bars of the cage he was in. Taver had put him in a human birdcage that hung very high, in a place that was unknown to the dead teenager. He couldn't see anything or anyone around him. But sometimes Taver would come and take him. The redhead would lead him to a small bedroom and do what he wished with Ron. The younger boy would resist and fight; but not only had Taver weakened his body, but he placed a spell on Ron. While he was with Taver he couldn't control his own body. Instead The redhead controlled it. Ron could sometimes speak freely but it was only long enough to say something like ‘go away' or ‘leave me alone'. Ron could feel it when Taver licked him and touched him, He could see what was happening and think freely, but other then that, he was helpless. But Ron was only sitting weakly in the cage right now. He had been Tavers' ‘toy' for the past few days or so, and he had never been more tired.
Suddenly there were footsteps near and Taver appeared before Ron once again. Ron felt his body stiffen then stand up, and go to the cage door. His mind protesting but his free will was gone. Taver opened the cage door and took a hold of Ron's wrists. He yanked his toy out and started leading him to the bedroom. When they were in and the door was locked, Taver shoved Ron against a wall and started to kiss him roughly. He pinned the brunette's hands above his head with one hand, while the other slipped up Ron's shirt. Taver started kiss down past Ron's lips and was soon at his neck, applying his tongue. Ron heard himself moan softly as he continued to fight for control over his body.
"Stop struggling, you're not going to gain control any time soon..." Taver whispered in Ron's ear.
"Go to hell!" Ron hissed back.
"Oh, I have...And I can promise you...I'm never going back..."
