As the party drew to an end, Amy began to feel extremely sleepy, but she tried her best to stay awake. She had to find Tim and then...
Her mind began to sink into sleep mode again, but she kept her eyes open. She focused on finding Tim and going home, but to what? A load of silly girls and one nagging woman?
Amy wanted to stay here, but she just had to go home, Angie would b worried by now, wouldn't she?
Jack had been talking to a man with a blue election badge on, but now he had left, leaving the three of them alone in the hall.
Sally saw Amy yawning and smiled. "Are you tired?" she called.
Amy's head popped up from the sea of red hair that had been covering her pale face.
"Hmm? Oh...yes...just a..." she let out a yawn. "Little"
"How about you stay at our house tonight?" she asked, walking over to her, her high-heels clomping on the wooden flooring of the hall. "It'd be our pleasure!"
"Really?" said Amy, thinking about Tim and Angie and strangely enough, the boy in the park. They could wait another day, couldn't they? Tim was probably safe anyway and Angie didn't
really care about her, she had decided that now.
"Alright" she said at last. "I guess I could stay, for atleast one night"
Sally smiled and put her hand out. Amy took her hand and walked off with Jack and Sally.
She walked into the hallway with Jack and Sally and stared in awe, it was AMAZING. The paint was a bit dull, but it was still breathtaking!
There were paintings on the wall of people who looked alot like Jack and some people that looked like real skeletons she had seen in Science books. Then it came upon her to ask Jack a question.
"Jack..." she began.
"That's my name" chuckled Jack.
"I was just wondering...what keeps you together? I mean...you're a skeleton, shouldn't you just fall apart, I mean, no muscles and stuff..."
Jack smiled. "I'm a very special skeleton, almost...magic, if you like"
"Really? I love magic! Can you do spells and stuff?"
"I'm not a witch!" laughed Jack. "But, yeah...I
can do some 'magic'"
"Wow!" Amy gasped. "Could I see some?"
"Not unless I
have to show you, it's..." he looked at Sally, who half smiled. "Fueled by anger"
Amy's eyes widened and her jaw dropped. "Umm...sorry" she said.
"Not at all" said Jack cheerfully.
Just then, a small white blob zoomed past Amy, it was freezing cold and whispy like mist.
When the blob slowed down, it appeared to be a small little dog with a bright nose in the shape of a Pumpkin. He was smiling at Amy and sticking it's tounge out.
Amy smiled, although it was a little weird.
"Hey little fella, where'd you come from?"
He zoomed past Amy again and jumped into Jack's arms.
"Hey Zero" he laughed as Zero licked his skull. He stroked him.
"How'd you do that?" asked Amy. "He's a ghost!"
Jack shrugged. "Magic!"
Amy giggled and looked up at Sally.
"Time for bed..." she said soothingly. That voice, it was so familiar, but where from?
"Okay..." breathed Amy, following Sally up the spiral stair case.
"This is your room" said Sally, leading her past a pair of curtains and through a small black and white door, she opened the door and Amy gasped.
The room was HUGE and decorated with photographs.
In one corner, there was a small bed with a black and white duvet on it and a small vampire teddy bear laying on the pillow. In another corner was a large, white wardrobe, probably filled with old clothes or something and a small dressing table in the corner by the window.
"Wow..." she said walking into the room and flopping on the bed. "It's amazing..." she whispered, tears of joy rolling down her face.
Sally was at the wardrobe, pulling out some night clothes for Amy.
"You-you're far too kind" Amy said.
"We just want you to be happy, it's the least we can do, I mean, we scared you half to death!" laughed Sally.
Amy nodded and looked at the photo's on the wall, there were sepia pictures of a small skeleton boy next to two people.
"Are these Jack's parents?" asked Amy, toutching the photo with her cold hands.
"Yes..." murmered Sally. "I'd rather not speak about them..."
Amy was about to ask why, when she saw the look on Sally's face, she was serious.
"Are these alright to wear?" asked Sally, showing her a pair of white pyjamas with small crowns on them.
"That's fine, I like them!" she smiled, taking them off Sally.
"The bathroom is across the hall if you want to get washed and if you need us we'll be downstairs"
"Okay" said Amy, smiling at her before she shut the door.
Amy looked at a black and white picture for a second and then whispered.
"I'm staying" to herself before walking to the bathroom.

Why didn't Sally want to talk about Jack's parents? This is something to think about for "Dangerous Games"
