I found myself coutning my steps, my gaze not leaving my feet as I walked along side Jack. He stood up tall and proud as he took great strides towards the front gate of town, I was a tall kid with long legs, so I was able to keep up with him easily.
"So, if you don't mind me asking, what are you?" He asked me, my eyes widened a bit as I glanced at him quickly then back at my feet. I sorta had a feeling this was coming, but, one would think he could tell I was human. My shoulder length light brown hair, my dark almost black eyes gleaming with excitment for something new, my dark pink almost red lips, and my lean figure and how you say girlish features, this thought made me look down at my clothes. I was wearing a tight, form fitting black t-shirt, my black sorta baggy cargo pants with random zippers and pockets, and my black converses. One would think I was human...right? He looked down at me once more, indicating an eyerbrow raise.
"You look worried and a bit confused young one." He adressed me, I looked up at him biting my lip.
"Did you happen to hear my question?" He asked me, I looked down at the ground then back at him, I bit my lip more and nodded nervously and hesitantly. We walked a couple more seconds before he asked.
"Well?" The same expression was still upon his face, and it seemed to grow.
"I'm......um.....human." I mumbled, almost too quiet for him to hear, at least I hoped. But with my bad luck his boney arm came in front of me, abruptly causing me to stop and let out a breath in shock, I cocked an eyebrow in confusion and looked up at him with curiousity, biting my lip, for the expression plastered on his face was a look of worry, concern, and a bit of confusion. After a few seconds of silence passed he finally looked down at me, his sockets studying me closely.
"Human..." He repeated the word to himself in a whisper, continuing to study me. It was not really the reaction I wanted...what if he just left me? What if he threw me out? What if LS&B found me alone, I was way too weak to fight back or even run; using my weakness to their advantage what if they brought me back to Oogie? I shived at the thought, the previous events rushing through my head like a movie in fast foward. My eyes filled with a pleading sensation, I needed him right now. I had lost Sam and was now all alone. Then, he smiled. This one was wide and full of excitment, he was happy?
"How remarkable! A human here in Halloween town!" He said, a bit too loud for me, but thankfully, there was no one around.
"My dear I must say I'm impressed you got here and are not scared out of your pants." He said, his tone matching his words, I smiled a bit. If only he knew about TNBC, if only he knew.
"A human, it's just, hard to believe I suppose." He said, putting a hand to his skull, absorbing it all in. I laughed a bit at this, he's never spoken to a human, if only Sam could see thi-.....Sam....I looked around, where had she run off to? I told her to get help and now...well...I didn't know what happened to her. Jack seemed to get out of his shocked state and looked around as well, mimicking me.
"What are we looking for?" He asked me, now turning his gaze back on me, however I avoided his look and continued to search.
"Not what, who." I stated, he nodded slowly, still confused I could tell.
"My cousin, Sam. She's human too." I informed him, he noded more quickly, now understanding better.
"What does she look like?" He asked me, I scratched my head and looked towards the woods.
"Well, she's shorter than me, but not by much. She has long light brown/blondish hair, um, brown eyes, and she's wearing a blue t-shirt, ripped jeans, and black converses." I desribed her.
"You mean like that girl over there?" He asked, pointing in a certain direction. I raised and eyebrow and looked in the direction his finger was pointing. There was a girl not too far from us, stumbling around with a confused expression, also she looked a bit panic stricken. It took a few seconds for my eyes to come into focus, but when they did they widened.
"Sam!!" I shouted in shock and excitment, her head whipped to look my way and a huge smile made way on her face.
"Jen!!" She shouted back and ran our way, once she made it, she attacked me with a hug, and I whole heartedly hugged back.
"I'm so glad you're okay." She stated, as I felt her grip around me tighten, it seemed like she didn't want to let go. She was probably worried sick, and of course I couldn't blame her.
"Me too, I'm glad you're okay too." I replied, glad she wasn't hurt and Lock Shock, and Barrel hadn't gotten a hold of her. The feeling became akword as I realized Jack was still standing there. I broke from the hug and rubbed the back of my neck sheepishly.
"Um, Jack, this is my cousin Sam. Sam, this is Jack." I introduced the two to eachother, Jack gave a small bow but Sam just stood there, shocked. I smiled, she was a Jack fan, and I knew it.
"Sam, stay focused." I reminded her, clapping my hands to snap her back to reality. She jumped a bit and regained her focus.
"Oh uh, nice to meet you." She said half politly, shaking as if she wanted to jump up and hug him.
"Two humans in one day, wow, this is truely a momentous occasion." Jack stated, filled with happiness, I laughed a bit at this and smiled at Sam, knowing things were now starting to look up. She smiled back, agreeing and still glad I was okay.
"We must get to town." He chipped happily, we both looked to him then back at eachother and nodded.
"Let's go." We replied simultaniously, he smiled and continued his treck towards the gate. Sam and I looked at eachother and smiled once more before following him.
