"Let me go!" screamed Amy, writhing around in the ropes she was tied up in.
"Didn't ya listen to the song? I ain't lettin' you go!" barked Oogie.
"Well...Jack will save me!"
"Oh sure! The little wimp who'll do
anything to save his daughter!"
"I'm not his daughter!"
"Oh sure! The necklace, the door, the way they all acted when you entered Halloween Town. Do you
honestly think that they'd do that all for some
normal kid?"
Amy looked at her feet. It was then she realised how stupid she'd been. She'd lost her chance with Jack because she'd been blind to accept the truth. Now she was going to die and nobody would care.
She began to cry again, silently.
Oogie rolled his eyes and called for Lock, Shock and Barrel to come in.
The trio slid down the chute, all landing on their feet, except Barrel, who landed on his stomach.
"You called, worm?" hissed Shock.
"What did you call me?" barked Oogie.
Amy didn't know this at the time, but calling someone a worm in Halloween Town was like saying the 'f' word in our world.
"I said, what do you want?"
"That's better. Get your weapons boys, we're gonna kill 'er"
"Not that I'd care" called Amy, lifting her head, to show beads of tears glittering in her emerald eyes.
"Kill me" she whispered. "I deserve to die, no one would care"
Lock looked at Amy, his dark eyes wide, his mouth open ever so slightly. He couldn't believe what she had just said.
"So be it" cackled Oogie, grabbing a knife and slashing Amy's white shirt, the pain surged through-out Amy's body, but she ignored it.
Shock cackled evilly and ripped Amy's arm. Barrel and Lock stayed behind, watching Amy being torn apart piece by piece.
"That should do it" hissed Oogie. "She'll bleed to death now"
Oogie looked at the bloodstained necklace around Amy's neck.
"Hope ya don't mind me takin' this, girly" he laughed, snatching the necklace from around her neck and flipping it around his hands.
Suddenly, the door at the left burst open and a shadow climbed through the door.
Amy didn't care who it was, she no longer cared about anything.
There were screams and the sounds of metal clanging against eachother, the sound of cackled laughter and finally, footsteps running towards her.
"Amy!" cried a no-longer recogniseable voice from above.
Amy looked at the shadow one more time, her eyes blurred and she closed them. Forever.

NO!
Is our heroine really dead?
