Christmas Town. Normally completely silent. Except for tonight. Tonight, in a little log cabin on the edge of the town, there was screaming.
“You never do anything!” A loud female voice screamed. “I do my job!” A male voice shot back. “Why do you have to scare kids?!” She screamed. “It’s my job! I have no choice!” He roared. Inside the cabin, two figures are standing face to face. One is petite, blonde with grey eyes and stunningly beautiful. Except her face is a deformed mask of rage. “Well, you are not taking our child to that life Oogie!” The lady shrieked.
“You can’t stop me!” The man yelled. He was made out of burlap with glowing black sockets where his eyes should be. He was also furious. “I need an heir! Halloween needs one, Jenny! Who else will walk through nightmares and frighten children?” He added. As we can guess by now, the girl is Jenny and the man is Oogie. “So does Christmas Town! And you can’t take my daughter from me!” Jenny hissed, snatching up a little bundle.
It was an infant. Not even a day old. She was asleep, her little eyes closed and her cherry lips were puckered into a smile. “Watch me.” Oogie growled. “Are you threatening me?” Jenny asked, equally soft and dangerous. “Your damn right I am.” He suddenly yelled, pulling the baby from Jenny’s arms.
The baby opened her cat-like silver eyes and let out a wail. Jenny gasped in pain and reached out. But Oogie was too fast and darted out of the way. “I swear to god, if you do not give me Amethyst back right now….” She whispered Jenny’s silver eyes narrow and her fingers curled into claws. “She is mine too you know.” Oogie defended himself. “You gave that up when you planned to take her away to be some hideous monster!” She shot back.
“And you want her to stay forever locked up until she can be forced into royalty?” He asked. “It is her birthright! No matter where you take her she will always be heir to Christmas Town!” Jenny cried in anger. “It is the same thing for Halloween Town!” “No it isn’t! This is controlling a holiday! Not scaring some kids until they wet themselves.” Jenny said.
That was it. “Do you seriously think that is all I do?!” Oogie roared in anger, causing Jenny to shrink back in fear despite her knowledge of his temper. “I teach kids what fear feels like! Without fear, there is no courage!” He screamed. “And you want Amethyst to sit nice and pretty on a throne forever having everything done for her?” He asked, taking a deep breath to calm himself. “I want her to be safe and happy! How happy will she be scaring children for the rest of her life?” She asked him in return. “I have seen Halloween Town’s ruler. I have seen your parents Jenny. Do you want our daughter to be chained to here like a dog tied to its master?” Oogie said after a few minutes of silence.
Now it was Jenny’s turn to be silent. “This isn’t fair….” She murmured. “This isn’t fair! She should be allowed to pick her own future! I don’t want her to be stuck in one place miserable. Amethyst should be allowed to take her future into her own hands.” Jenny said. “I agree. But who will win? Who will lose?” Oogie asked. Jenny suddenly grabbed Amethyst from her, the baby’s wails having dulled to nervous whimpers. “Is that how you see her?! As a prize to be won? She is not and neither am I! I thought I loved you, but if all you see me as is a toy or the winnings of a game, I never want to see you again! You will never have our daughter!” Jenny hissed, pulling a handful of white powder from her pocket.
“Jenny, don’t! I love y-“Oogie started to cry desperately. But it was too late. “Good-bye! She will never know you as a father. So just forget her and forget me. As I already have of you.” She whispered brokenly. Her eyes betrayed her love for him, though she did not hesitate as she threw the powder to the floor.
The powder seemed to explode into smoke, clouding Oogie’s vision until he couldn’t see. He coughed loudly, trying to feel his way to Jenny and Amethyst. “Jenny! Please! Don’t leave! I love you! I really do love you! Jenny…….” He said, trailing off, his voice and face a mask of hurt, betrayal and anger. They were gone. Slowly the smoke settles, leaving an upset Oogie in the center of the floor, tears trailing down his face.
He stood like that all night, they say, trying to pick up the pieces of his now shattered life. He sat there for a long time, trying to think but only being able to see Jenny’s face. He sighed and closed his eyes, falling asleep.
In his dreams, he saw Jenny as when he first met her. Struck by her beauty, he went over to talk to her. Unlike the elves that had surrounded her, she was not scared on him. She was intrigued. Her moon-lit silver eyes had glowed as they went on their first date, her cherry lips curved into a delicate smile of happiness. He remembered their first night…. then finding out Jenny was expecting. He had never been so happy. Suddenly the dream turned sour and all her could see was her anger and pain when she saw him try to take away their daughter.
He woke up with a start on the ground. He stared at the ceiling. He could only see one way forward. He closed his eyes and drew a hardness over him and opened his eyes again, their once happy warmth replaced with cold hard fury. “If I ever see her or that devil baby again, I will kill them both.”
