I was frozen with fear my eyes locked on Oogie standing in front of me. He towered over me, his sockets not leaving my frightened, color drained face. I was filled with shock and disbelief, and without another thought, I let out a high pitch scream. Oogie laughed mockingly and pointed at me.
"Music to my ears!" He stated, laughing once more. I seized screaming, and my expression became annoyed. Way to go, make this entertaining for him. I kicked myself mentally for my stupid mistake. My hands balled into fists, ready to strike if needed.
"Come on sweetheart, scream for me again." He cooed, laughing mockingly once more.
"When hell freezes over." I stated bluntly, lowering my eyebrows in annoyance. My fists tightened until they turned white.
"Oooohh, I like em' fiesty." He said, placing his hands on his hips. A low growl formed in my throat, he was way more annoying than I thought. He crossed his arms over his chest and stared at me, his gaze not leaving.
"So...bag boy. Why am I hear?" I asked, not backing down from my sass, if I was to give it to anyone, it would be him.
"Well babe, you're here to give me some important information." He replied, I raised my eyebrow in confusion. Information?
"Information?" I spoke my thoughts, my voice rising in question.
"Don't play stupid with me." He accused, shaking his head. My confusion increased, what was he talking about? I released my hands and they returned back to normal color.
"Now, if you tell me what I need to know, maybe I WON'T kill you." He said, leering at me, taking a step forward. I took a step back, okay, this guy was nuts.
"Are...are you crazy?" I asked, not really knowing I did, his eyes became slits as he eyed me dangerously. He then stomped down on a button and I felt myself go stiff. Chains somehow wrapped around me, I couldn't move. I fell to the ground with a hard thud and groaned in pain.
"Okay, I'm not even gonna bother asking how you did that." I said, trying to wriggle free.
"Now, are you gonna coaporate with me? Or are we gonna have to do this the hard way?" He asked, taking a step forward towards me.
"This isn't the hard way?" I asked under my breath, groaning a bit from the strength of the chains.
"Okay, I still have no idea what you're talking about, but I'll see what I can do." I said, it wouldn't hurt me any more to try, would it? He beamed a malicious smile.
"Good." He said as he walked over to me and bent down, he inched his face towards mine. A disgusted look was plastered on my face as I tried to back away.
"I have to make sure, you're the one I'm looking for. So, I'm gonna ask you some questions." He said, tickling me under the chin. I snapped at him in anger and he quickly withdrew.
"Now now, don't be naughty. So, question one, who is the current leader of Halloween town?" He asked me, I raised an eyebrow and laughed a bit.
"Too easy, Jack Skellington." I replied with ease, anyone who had seen Nightmare before Christmas would know these answers. So....why would he need me?
"Hmm, of course. You know who am I right?" He asked, raising a would be eyebrow in confusion. I scoffed and rolled my eyes.
"Unfortunantly." I replied, he gave me an evil smile.
"Good." He said pinching my cheek, I snapped again.
"Stop that! If you want my help, you take a few steps away." I ordered, he grunted and stood up straight, then took a couple of steps back.
"Okay, you've proved you were the one, so now here's the question I need to know. Who is the heir to Halloween town?" He bursted out, my eyes came wide with shock.
"Ask what now?" I asked quickly in reply, without thinking he picked me up by the collar and held me close to his face. His expression dark and menacing.
"Who.is.the.heir!?" He asked, his voice booming and bouncing off the wall. I cringed, and shot back at him.
"I don't know!" My voice sounded angry, I closed my eyes tightly, embracing for any impact of pain. But...nothing. I opened one of my eyes to see him staring at me in a way, I didn't like.
"Well, if you're not gonna say what I need, you're no use to me." He said, I sighed in relief.
"Unless, I keep you to...'play' with until you decide to come clean with the truth." He said with a devious chuckle. My eyes widened, no way! He pulled me closer, my face inches from him, his snake slithered on my face, now I was pissed. So I did the first thing I could think of, I bit on his tounge. It was pretty hard for I could taste blood. He released me and yelped in pain. I fell to the ground hard on my stomach, and groaned at the impact. As I landed I heard a snap of some sort.
"Huh?" I looked over to my back and noticed something. The chains snapped! A smile came over me as I broke free from the chains. Oogie was still withering in pain over his tounge, and I thought now was my time to escape. Without another thought, I pushed the chains away and ungracefully got back on my feet. I rushed for the ladder, which was my exit. Even though his tounge was bleeding I heard him shout.
"The prisoner is escaping! Lock, Shock, Barrel, AFTER HER!!" I climbed up faster, and before I knew it, I could smell the fresh air, of outside.
