Oogie's tree house exploded with purple-black darkness. Jack gasped and grapped Astra's forearms. "You both have to get out of here. This is Oogie's final resort. This darkness will
kill you."
Pheobe shuddered "What about you and Sally?"
"We'll be fine, we can survive this. The darkness is aimed at mortals. I'll help you up the tree."
Sally stepped foward "I'll help too."
The foursome reached the tree in the Tomb of Tears. Pheobe climbed up one branch, looked back and jumped back down again. She ran into Sally and hugged her. "Thank you, so much!"
Astra hugged Jack "We'll never forget you both." Astra and Pheobe scaled the tree slowly due to the pain from their hands. As they reached the 'sky' they turned back one last time, saw Jack and Sally smile, and jumped up into the sky.
The journey back was so fast, it felt being shot out of a bullet. It wasn't long before the two girls were back to their own worlds. They were back in the graveyard, gasping for air. Astra stared blankly. "Do you feel that? MOVE!" Astra pushed Pheobe out of the way of the grave as sevral blobs of darkness erupted out of the grave. Astra and Pheobe ran behind a tree for cover. A passer by turned to see the darkness and he got hit by darkness square in the face. As the darkness made contact it stopped spitting out of the grave. Pheobe peeked around from behind the tree. "It's over." Astra looked Pheobe and she looked back. "Shall we go home, friend?" Pheobe smiled. "Sure, buddy!" The new friends walked back hand annd hand.
The man lay on the ground, the darkness disolving into his skin. But he wasn't dead. He opened his eyes and his blue eyes turned red.
-It's all over! Did you enjoy it?
