'She didn't have to die'
Jack climbed out of an hollow tree at the graveyard of Halloween Town, cradling the music box.
"There it is" Jack said to himself as he neared a giant oak tree.
This was the place where he and Selen first met.
Crouching down, he quickly dug a hole then carefully placed the music box in it covering it up again.
Sorrowfully he walked away, back to the Pumpkin Castle.
Xxxxxxxxx
Exactly an hour later not a second too soon or too late the ground at the oak tree started to crack.
"Ow ow oooooooowwwwww this is really getting uncomfortable!"
A little hill was forming at the base of the oak tree as something was growing bigger. Then with a sharp *twang* as a musical box broke, a hand breeched the surface of the dirt.
Following the hand was a arm then a shoulder then a head.
"AIR!!! Oh how i missed you.. Wait I'm dead i dont need air... All well, air Oh how i missed you."
=And if you didn't realized who was coming out from the ground then you deserve a BOOT TO THE HEAD! Yes Selen wasn't dead. =
Selen scrambled out of the hole, clawing the lose ground around her.
Looking down she realized that she was naked as a well a naked person can get. Well she may have survived the fire but her clothes sure didn't.
"DANG! That is a good view!" A voice suddenly shouted.
EEEKKKing Selen jumped into a nearby bush.
A hobbly short old man came hobbling out into the small clearing. He was wearing a deep purple cloak, that was just a little short revealing his spindly legs, with a wizards hat that was covered in patches.
And to top it all off he had a kitten, who had seen better days, twirling around his legs.
"Just look P.M at that oak a good solid structure."
"Mew, mew, "
"Yes, yes i saw the girl"
"MEW?!?!?!"
"Nonononono just like the top of her head that's all!"
"mew.... Mew mew"
"Help her, why? Oh ok but what do i give her? A trick or treat bag?"
"Mew."
"Ok then"
"Miss! Yes you in the bushes, you seem to bit underdressed for Autumn".
Popping out her head, Selen replied. "Ya I just got burned to ashes ... Don't worry I survived, but my clothes hadn't"
"Well thing happen around here dont they?."
"Say instead of standing there, hey who the heck are you anyway?"
"Oh ummmm, PERPEAR YOURSELF FOR THE GREAT, THE MIGHTY, ALL POWERFUL WIZARD!" The wizard began throwing his arms about for effect.
"PHIL!" He shouted striking a pose.
"Phil? Never heard that name before."
"That is exactly what i said when Mother gave it to me! But at lest it is a better name for a wizard then the last one she gave me"
"What was that?"
"Harry."
"Well your right that is a bad name for a wizard. By the way I am Selen PiontyFang."
"Phil Potter, the Great Wizard."
"Great meeting ya, hey you dont happen to have something for me to wear do you?'"
"Hold on a minute i got something." Wiggling his fingers, he chanted
"mambo jumbo"
And Selen stepped out from the brush with a beautiful, elegant garbish bag.
"Ehhh i had wore more odd things then that. Thanks" Selen was about to walk off when Phil grabbed her arm.
"What's the big idea here?" She asked and lifted her arm with Phil still attached.
"Um you are a respectable young lady right?" Phil said with a half smile on his face, looking a bit uncomfortable with the fact that Selen could lift him with ease.
"Depends on what you mean by 'respectable'." Selen said with a raised eyebrow.
"PLEASSSSSEE!!! My mom thinks Im a loser! I just need you to come over right now and say your my wife!"
"We just met!" Selen shouted shacking her arm like someone who just saw a spider on it.
" Besides a dear friend of mine just saw me die, and i would like to put him out of his misery"
"Already with another man!" Phil said dramatically holding on for dear life "AND if he was such i dear friend of yours then why did you die in front of him?"
"Oh like i had a choice!"
"Did you?"
"Ummm wait what?"
"What if you actually wanted to die? Maybe because you never felt like you two were meant to be friends!"
Selen stopped shaking him.
Selen never really cared what people thought about her... Except maybe Jack...
Selen could never really believe that someone wanted to spend time with her, and how Fearnouse kept going on about her, on how he couldn't believe that Jack wasted his time on me, and then how Jack never really answered him...
She started to think that maybe Jack didn't want to spend time with her anymore. He was the Pumpkin prince after all, he needed time to be with other people. Higher classed people.
And soon he will have to start looking for a bride.. He will become Pumpkin King any day now. Selen never really wanted to be with Jack that way. Who would actually allowed it anyway? A common as dirt vampire who didn't even look really like a vampire, to the supreme, pure classed Pumpkin Prince...
No Selen just wanted to be his friend. Full stop.
But maybe Jack was getting tired of her.
"Lots of people wish they had your opportunity, Selen, you died you can start another life."
"Mew" P.M agreed.
If Jack was tired of her then he can very well say it. Selen wasn't one of those types that go 'what if' she was one of those types that went ' what will happen, will happen'.
"Phil do you want to keep your arms..." Selen said with a dark look.
He gulped, "Yes."
"Then remove them..."
"Yes" Phil dropped off Selen's arm and Selen started to walk to the Pumpkin Castle,
"If you dont come willingly then I will force you!" Phil shouted and pointed then he chanted.
"Mambo Jumbo!" Then he and Selen disappeared from sight.
=Yes i have a wizard called Phil. The plot thickens...=
