The sleigh zoomed through the night sky quite ungracefully, this may have been because Barrel was holding the reins, or maybe because Amy's howls of despair were enough to tear down walls.
"I SEE SHE GETS JACK'S LEVEL OF VOLUME!" shouted Lock.
"WHAT?" chorused Shock and Barrel.
"NEVERMIND! GIMME THE BOTTLE!"
Shock frowned for a second then gasped and handed him the bottle. "Look kid!" "Take this and SHUT UP!" he screamed, shoving the bottle into her mouth.
Amy sipped away happily, unsure of what the potion was.
"Look!" exclaimed Shock. "She's
changing !"
"Can we kill her now?" asked Barrel, the sleigh tilting to the side a little. Lock looked into Amy's eyes, she looked so sad and confused.
"We gotta land first, 'kay?"
Barrel nodded and headed downwards. The whole sleigh bolted forwards and the bottle zoomed away from Amy's mouth, before she drank the last drop, which meant she was human, but not fully human, meaning she still had some of Jack and Sally's genetic talents.
"Hold on!" hollered Barrel as the skeletal reindeer landed on the concrete floor, the sleigh scraping on the ground, waking up Angela Pennyworth, the head careworker at a local orphanage.
"You got the knife?" asked Lock.
"I thought you did!" gasped Barrel.
Lock looked at Shock who just shrugged. Lock sighed heavily.
"Fine, we'll just have to beat her to death, won't we?"
"HEY!" shouted a fourth voice from the shadows.
"Busted!" uttered Barrel. "RUN!"
Lock didn't know what to do with Amy, he didn't want to kill her, and yet he didn't want to fail Oogie, in a flash of uncertainty and heartache, he layed Amy on the floor and whispered. "Be safe" the exact same words Jack had said on that same night, before hopping back into the sleigh.
Angela heard Amy crying and ran to her side, watching the sleigh take off into the air she cradled her in her arms.
"It's alright..." she hushed. "The nasty people have gone..."
She looked around her neck and saw the locket her parents had given her. On the front was something that would forever make her live in fear. It was a Pumpkin.
Angela's mind journied back to that fateful night when a skeleton santa had come to her home and given her a Pumpkin Jack-in-the-box. She knew this had belonged to him.
"I won't let you get hurt by him. I promise" she breathed, before walking in with Amy, taking the necklace from around her neck before leaving.
