The shadows played at his feet, looking forward to this as much as their master was the 2 children were far enough away from their parents and his scout shadows, of whom he had sent to spy on the others told him that they were in the same situation all he needed was…
“Oh and Jack,”
The Mayor’s next sentence was lost but it had sounded like the mayor had shouted, (not nearly so loudly) almost inaudible to Jack and Sally. “Have fun” but Jack’s reply could be heard clearly,
“Thanks”
He sent the shadows forward, this was gonna be good.
He watched as Jessica screamed and the other 4 were dragged along the graveyard floor, He watched as the children were electrocuted, had black widow poison injected into their arms, highly aggressive fungus poured on to them or killed, and he watched as Jack Skellington fell to his knees. He walked away; his work here was done…
For now.
The unconscious children and their pets were thrown into the back of the van, 5 minutes later Carlos was dragged out and searing noises and metallic clangs could be heard. 30 minutes that’s all it took, he was thrown into the van, the back was locked up and the engine roared into life.
Carlos was the first to wake, he stood up then he felt the side of his face were the fungus had been attacking him, and froze, metal was where skin should have been he slid to the floor in shock, then he noticed the bodies,
Electrona and Volto twitched but were dead, he had seen the electricity go them, no one could survive that, Arachcana and Beatlan moaned, gut instinct told him that they would be dead soon and then finally he looked at his sister. He crawled over picked her limp body from the floor and began to cry, rocking backwards and forwards whilst he cuddled her lifeless corpse.
Suddenly Electrona and Volto sat up, and then, as electricity ran around them, they changed, their green eyes were lost underneath bright blue electricity, and their black hair changed into spikes of more blue electricity of different tones and length, Dr Finkelsein had perfected his creations so a stitches no longer showed and now their pale white skin was an amazing contrast to their blue hair, eyes and lips.
They turned to look at Carlos, but they quickly reeled back on seeing what he was holding.
Electrona was the first to move, she was always helping people, in Halloween town you could always count on her to lend a hand, and the Doctor didn’t care where she went as long as she was out of the way, and now she saw that Carlos needed her help now.
“Carlos,” she said moving closer to him, “let go of Jessica,” for some reason Electrona knew that she had the best chance of making Carlos comply, was if she talked like Jessica was alive but at the same time made him see that she was truly and utterly dead. Something the doctor would have called a highly delicate operation.
“No”
“But-”
“I know she’s dead”
“Then why-”
“Just because I know that she is dead, doesn’t mean I have to except it”
“Carlos, I know I’m sounding like a right little bitch, and I feel like it for having to point this out to you, but we have more to worry about right now, we will take Jessica’s body with us and bury it when we get the chance”
If a physiologist had been in the room he would have been gawping, this sounded like the kind of conversation 12 year olds might have, not, 5 year olds.
“Urm Electrona,” Volto’s gaze was fixed on Arachcana and
Beatlan, and soon so were Electrona’s and Carlos’s.
Arachcana and Beatlan were just a seething mass of insects, the insects scuttled across them, crossing and climbing over each other in a mad a seemingly unneeded rush, then they began to solidify, soon two very different creatures lay before them, and these creatures sat up.
They had compound eyes, or compound effect eyes, as they saw only one image of the world around them. They had both mandibles and fangs protruding from their mouths and antenna pocked out from their heads, Arachcana had red skin and blonde hair whist her brother had green skin and Black hair. Arachcana looked like she was about to speak when.
A gigantic yawn came from the back of the back of the truck.
All eyes turned to look worriedly at the creatures in the corner, for until this point they had not noticed that their pets were in the back of the van with them
“Rah!”
“Tarli!”
“Kibou!”
“Sparkz!”
“Noro!”
Ebony ran over first, and pocked Jessica, she was evidently annoyed that Jessica had not called her name with joy, and then she gave a yowl of pain as she realized her mistress was dead. Kibou slid across the floor and on to his master’s arm, then he spoke,
“I know that I’m a snake and not meant to be able to talk, but maybe you should let go of your sister now, holding on to her will not bring her back you know”
“Y-y-you can t-talk?” Carlos stammered the words out and waited for a reply the reply came from Ebony
“Oh we can all talk, and we have a telepathic connection with our master or mistress”
“Oh…right” Ebony laughed, but there was no joy in it, she only laughed because she knew, if the circumstances had been different she would have found this funny.
“The reason,” said Rah a Green Scarab belonging to Beatlan “that we did not talk to you before, was that we didn’t want you to think that yourselves mad”
“Hear, hear” Tarli was the one that spoke, Tarli was an HUGE black and red tarantula, she belonged to Arachcana.
“Just out of interest,” Noro’s voice was clear, Noro was a big atom basically, a big atom with slit nostrils, eyes, a mouth with fangs coming out of it, a blue nucleus, blue electrons and red rings of energy holding the electrons in place, he belonged to Volto, “do you think you’ve gone mad?”
“No, because by the startled look on everyone’s faces they can hear you too” Arachcana smiled after saying this, no one knew why, not even her. The fanged ball of blue electricity spoke up; she was called Sparkz and belonged to Electrona.
“So, what now? I take it we don’t want to go where this thing is taking us”
“No” said Volto “No we-”
He cut off mid sentence,
“Carlos let go of Jessica”
“Why?” Carlos had a bemused expression on his face, he wondered if the suddenness of being told was an attempt to try and make him let go, in his mind he smiled that was NOT gonna work.
“SHE’S BLEEDING”
Carlos looked down, Jessica’s lifeless body was bleeding, the blood ran off her face, it trickled down her nose before it boiled down into soup along with the organs, by the time it had got to this stage Carlos had long since let go and was looking on in horror.
The soup began to evaporate dissolving into thin air, leaving only her bones and hair behind.
Then Jessica sat up, bone upright (yes I know bad pun *slapped*), if she had needed it she would have taken a sharp breath of air. With her mother’s red hair and her father’s face, she now looked around the room.
“Hi…um… well what happened” Carlos debated on how to break it to Jessica that she no longer had a working heart. Arachcana beat him to it.
“Sorry, but your dead”
“I knew that”
“You did?” Carlos sounded more stunned than he had meant to.
“Yes” Jessica’s tone was impatient, and then it turned into horror as her metaphorical brain realized that it knew that voice. “Carlos i-is that you?”
“Yer”
“What happened to you? I fact what happened to all of you?”
“Too much, happened to us, but we have bigger things to worry about now” Electrona’s voice was strong and unbroken, it gave them all the boost they needed, Jessica looked up and as she spoke an unbroken row of needle sharp teeth could be seen on both her upper and lower jaws.
“You’re right” Jessica crawled over and looked at the door, it was a big heavy thing but it did have a fatal weakness a window… with only bars covering it.
Jessica Began to attack these bars with her teeth.
