They had walked for hours already, ending up either where they started, or more lost.
"We aren't going to get ANYWHERE like this!"
Avakris sighed. Her sister was right, they didn't know where they were going.
"We're going to arrive at those holiday doors sometime soon!"
But nowadays there was always security around the Forest of Divinity. So they couldn't rest. They reluctantly trudged on.
Three hours later (11:00 PM)
"So...damn...tired..." Zeriaon gasped. Avakris immediately agreed.
"Maybe...we could just...rest...a little bit..." Avakris panted and collapsed.
Avakris was almost asleep already until Zeriaon suddenly gasped.
"What the- Was there a murder?" Avakris muttered.
"I SEE THE HOLIDAY DOORS! I FOUND THEM! COME ON!!!"
Avakris was immediately aroused and on her feet, right behind Zeriaon.
There they were.
A beautful sight, the girls thought. There were the six doors, excluding Valentine's Day: St. Patrick's, Easter, Independence, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and lo and behold:
Halloween.
They hadn't brought everything that they owned for nothing. It was time to move in!
The twins looked at each other, and nodded. Zeriaon grasped the door and opened it. And-
"What. The. Hell?"
It was a pitch black hole.
Avakris understood. "It's Halloween, don't you expect dark surprises and mysterious gifts?"
Avakris leaped in nonhesitantly. Zeriaon followed unsteadily.
Halloween Town
"Jack?! Jack?!!! WHERE ARE YOU, JACK?!"
The Mayor was frantically running around, searching for the "missing" Pumpkin King.
A couple feet away was Jack Skellington, desperate to get away from the Mayor for ONCE!
But it was expected. The Mayor always worried too much. Jack retreated from the bush and ran for the Hinterlands, where the Holiday Doors were.
The Hinterlands
Zeriaon opened her eyes abruptly. She could see the bright sun shining down on her eyes, and the same Holiday Doors, right where they were. She sat up and looked behind her. Avakris was already up and wandering around. Avakris noticed her sister was awake and said excitedly, "Zeriaon, we're in Halloween Town! Look at the HUGE sun!"
Zeriaon looked up. The sun was a pumpkin.
"I thought we were supposed to be in the town already. Don't tell me we're going to have to walk around for hours again just to find the town!"
"Oh don't worry, we'll find someone who can take us-"
Avakris was interrupted by a hissing-no, a screeching sound.
"What was that?"
"What are you-OH MY GOD, AVA, BEHIND YOU!" Zeriaon pushed her sister out of the Orc Skeleton's way, just as he brought a thick, club-like bone down.
"Oh my god." Avakris stared at the ground. Skeletal arms were popping out of the ground and onto the surface.
"Zeriaon, I think we got what we wanted!"
Zeriaon glanced at her sister, who was scaling up a dead tree. Zeriaon did the same. She was almost fully up when one of the skeletons grabbed her ankle. She screamed and tried to shake it off.
"GET DOWN!" Zeriaon instinctively reacted and leapt off the tree. A flash of a green whip-like substance whizzed through the air, grabbing the skeletons by the waist. Zeriaon glanced up and her eyes widened in disbelief.
It's the Pumpkin King. Had my wish finally come true?
"Damn annoying things." The Pumpkin King scowled at the pile of scattered bones. "And who might you be?"
Zeriaon sat up and took one look at Jack. "You're Jack Skellington, aren't you?"
"Why do I think I've seen you before? I do remember the Valentine's leader talking about two girls in his town that always wore black."
"He was talking about me and my sister," Zeriaon nodded over to her sister, who was staring in shock. Zeriaon stood up, and bowed politely."I'm Zeriaon Avaroth, and that's my sister, Avakris Zeproth. We were looking for Halloween Town so we could get away from our hometown." Zeriaon explained.
"Why'd you run away?"
"I'll explain to you the entire story if you could take us back to your town."
So Zeriaon and Avakris followed Jack to Halloween Town, and on the way, explained their problems.
