The next morning Jack came to see me early. In his arms was a dress. it was black and fluffy at the bottom like a doll dress. and with it he had the combat boots that i had at my home, i recognized them buy the red nair poilish on the bottom.
"wow thank you." i said taking the dress." its beautiful!"
he looked at me for a second then luaghed. "im glad you like it."
he left me to get dressed before i could reply. behind the only other door was a restroom and shower. i cleaned myself and got dressed, i hadto admit, i looked freakin cool. When i was raedy, i left my room. the hallway was dusty and full of cobwebs, and creaked as i walked. Down stairs was not much better but there was some order to it. there were books everywhere, and dust, lots of dust. As i explored the house i relized that jack wasnt there. There was a door on the thrid floor that was locked. I sat infront of it for a few minute, in wonder, but went back down to the main floor. If it was locked jack didnt want my to go in there, i and didnt want to make him mad. I cleaned off a chair as best as i could to sit in and read. It was weird Jack had all the sherlock Holmes books. My absolute favorite books ever. i picked up the closesest one. The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes and began to read.
It wasnt long before a scream echoed through the house. i jumped, it screamed again, along with knocking at the door.
I jumped up and opend the door, and man, the oddest shaped man i'd ever seen was standing there. Right before my eyes his face changed from worry/angery to a smile. i mean he did the whole, owl head spin thingy!
"oh, hello miss, is jack home."
"i..i dont think..." i said nervously. a hand landed gently on my shoulder, i looked up, Jack.
" Hello mayor, may i help you?"
"Halloween is only a month away, i came to see what you had planned for this year?"
"i cant tell you, you know that." Jack said with a sigh.
"i know...but you could tell me who this girl is?"
i sooted back further into jack, trying to escape the mayors gaze.
"this is Emma. she is....Doll"
"doll, liek the toy?"
"no, D stands for Dangerous, O is for....Obscure.L is for-"
" yes i get it." the mayor said cutting him off." i just wanted to know about halloween, i'll leave you with your..Doll."
HE wobbled down the stairs and out of the front gate, into a strange little town. Jack shut the door, and pulled my away from the view ofthe town.
"are you okay?" he asked crouching down so he was at my level.
I nodded , my black curls bouncing lightly, i couldnt see it in his eyes becuase they were black, empty, but im sure my own red ones were full of anxiety. he smiled apolagetically and lead me back to my book.
"im sorry about the mayor. he stops by at least once a week to see what im doing for halloween this year."
"why?"
"Becuase this is Halloween Town, and im The Pumpkin King."
