"No!" Valkyrie screamed, "No, no, no, no!!" Tears streamed down her face like rivers. She gripped her stomach as if something had been forcefully ripped out of her. She fell to her knees. Sally was in shock. She lost her balance and fell to the ground. Tears began forming as she realized Jack was gone and never coming back.
Halloween Town...
Sally walked into the empty house. She closed the door and turned on a light. Everything was in place just as she and Jack left it. Tears began flowing down her face once more. She stumbled into a wall and slid down to the floor, sobbing into her sleeve. No, she thought to herself, this can't be the rest of my life. An empty house for two. No, she wouldn't let it. She won't let Jack and Skulduggery get away that easily.
Sally gathered to her feet, walked through the living room, past the kitchen, and into her sewing room. She sat at the machine, flexed her fingers, and began working on her new attire.
------------------------------
Sally dailed the number. "Hello?" a somber voice answered. "Hey Val, how are you doing?" There was a pause of muffled sobs. "I don't feel so good, Sally." she whispered. "I know how you feel, so meet me in the cemetary by morning cause we're getting them back."
------------------------------
It was dark. He could see nothing but darkness in all directions. It was silent until he felt something rip out of him and he yelled out.
Jack opened his eyes to a brightly lit room. Someone said, "New arrivals!" The light hurt so he closed his eyes once more. He had a major headache. Then the memories at Aranmore Farm flooded into his mind. Sally was the last thing he saw. His eyes shot open and he sat straight up. People were looming over him. "Oh my, why hello there." said a plump woman puffing up her hair. He backed up against the wall. "Who are you? Where am I?" he asked nervously.
"Why your dead, sweet cheeks." replied another woman. Half of her face was gone. "What?! No I'm undead!" "Please, if I knew an undead man I wouldn't be living here." Jack couldn't believe it. He must have left Skulduggery in the void all by himself. He felt deeply depressed.
"That was unpleasant." said a familiar voice. There was pause then he said, "Oh no..." He stood up. Jacks breath caught in his throat. Skulduggery turned around to face him. They stood in silence as they stared at each other. "Well this is a tad ironic." Skulduggery said slowly. He looked down at his new flesh. Jack immediatly reached for the top of his head. His fingers ran through something soft. Hair. "We're alive?" Jack asked. "Not exactly." He too was feeling his new hair, "I haven't felt this in years." "Wait. How is this-"
"Move aside! Move aside!" said a voice moving through the crowd. A lean man confronted them. "Welcome to the Land of the Dead." The man wore a black Beatles sleeveless t-shirt with skinny black pants and a spiked collar around his neck. His eyes were shadowed by the way his hair was layered in front of his face. "I'm Vladimir, right hand man of the devil. If you have any concerns, come to me. I'll be lounging with Pandora. Ok girls, they're all yours." and he walked off with the wave of his hand.
Skulduggery gasped as he was pushed against a wall by a thinner woman. She leaned her head against his chest. "Jack..." he said nervously. "Ya?" Jack was using all his strength to keep the fat woman off of him. "We go on my mark." The thin woman began to unbutton his collar shirt. "Go!" he yelled. Jack and Skulduggery manuvered around the women of lust.
"If this is what heaven looks like than I perfer to be undead." said Jack as they ran. "I don't think we're in heaven Jack." "Why not?" "Vladimir works for the devil remember?" "I went to hell?!" "It would seem so." "We need to get out of here." "My thoughts exactly." They heard footsteps following them. "Back in my day," Skulduggery began, "being chased by women was a good thing." "Perv." Skulduggery stumbled back, caught by Jacks response. "What did you call me?"
Jack rounded a corner and a pair of hands grabbed his arm. "In here." a girl whispered. Jack followed with Skulduggery close behind. A moment later, a pack ran past their hiding spot. Once the coast was clear, Jack stood up. "Thank you." "Your welcome." This girl had long brown hair pulled into a loose bun and tanned skin. She wore a short white top with lace sleeves and a low white silk skirt with a black belt that bared the face of a skull. Topped with black laced boots and silver hooped earrings. "I'm Nymphetamine Cross. You can call me Nymph." "And I'm Elora." another said removing herself from the shadows. Elora fancied a black cloak with black jeans and white trainers. A gold pocketwatch hung from her right pocket. Her hair was crimson red that barley touched the top of her shoulders. She kept her head low and her eyes up.
"Welcome to the Land of the Damned."
