over the past 2 weeks jack had grown more distant, i would listend to him upstairs, sometimes he'd be happy, but most of the time he was cursing everyone and everything. i spent most of my time looking out the window out upon halloween town. Jack forbid my going outside, he said it was to dangerous for someone like me. so i wa stuck inside. when i wasnt watching out the window i was cleaning. jacks house was perfefctly clean acept behind the locked door. i stayed away from there as much as posible becuase i didnt want to upset jack.
Zero, jacks ghost dog was one of my favortie things about Halloween town so far. zero always kept me company, nomatter what i was doing. it made me feel safe.The closer halloween got the more the mayor was over. i'd let the mayor in every morning with out a word. he was used to me not spealking. But he talked, boy did he talk. he spoke over everything and nothing, but mainly halloween. And her flirted with me constantly. it was very unerving. Jack would pass through the house while the mayor was there, not bothering to say a word even as the mayor followed him complaining. the mayor would leave unsatisfied.
I sat down stairs, after dinner, with zero. i couls hear the rain, hoping for no thunger or lightning. see, in terrified of storns. i love the rain, but thunder and lighning scare me. zero sat at my feet as i read dracula by bram stroker. i was almost halfway through the book when thunder clapped, ringing through the house. i screamed, it reminded me of jacks doorbell. zero whimperd and followed me as i hid on the stair case away from all the windows.
"emma?" i jumped at the sound of my name. i turned around and jack was there, worry in his skelital features. he pulled me close and carryed me upstairs. he layed next to me in my bed saying nothing, but he didnt need to. i knew he was there for me.
