Chapter 7
Healing
Jack picked up his pace, running past the fountain and through an arch leading to a small shop. He ran inside and placed me on a three legged stool, me groaning. I heard faint whispers as Jack talked to the oldest of the witches. He returned will a small vial of mustard coloured liquid. He pulled of the cork, it smelt disgusting.
"Drink this," He encoraged.
I let it touch my lips, it tasted as bad as it smelt, it burnt my tongue, like real mustard. Jack pushed the vial towards me again. I downed the whole bottle pulling a face afterwards.
I felt the voices stop in my brain. I let out a sigh of relief.
Jack thanked the witches and left the shop, before I left the witch gave me another small bottle.
"To get rid of the taste." She smiled.
She was right, this one tasted much better.
"We need to face him." I said to Jack
He looked shocked by my suddeness, he collected himself.
"No way, absolutley not. He's driving you nuts."
"But if I don't face him, he'll keep coming until-" i couldn't finish.
Jack looked around stratching his skull.
"Where do we start?"
"What about there?" I pointed to a rotting treehouse.
"That used to be were Oogie used to plan his schemes."
"But look," I said "The lights are on. Let's go." And with that I broke into a jog towards the tree house.
Jack shook his head. "Strange girl." Then he followed behind me.
