The lone ghost floated through the dark forest. Wondering if he can really carry a big task of becoming Santa's bodyguard. A ghost boy with a lack of trust in his own ghost powers, he must give everything he got.
"Dang, I been wondering in this forest for hours. I hope Molly is right about this door to Christmas Town. I can't stop now or those three will caught up!" Then, right at the heart of the forest, a circle of trees! He floated toward the middle and gaze around him.
"Whoa, sick! All these trees, leads to other Holiday worlds?! And my old man had a hard time believing this word exist! Maybe I should introduce him to St. Patrick Town!" He looked at it's door and chuckled. "Maybe some other time. 'Cause tonight." He faced the Christmas's door. "Time to see the jolly fat man himself!" He sigh. Floating to the door, he stared at the shiny doorknob shape as an ornament. He turn the knob and open the door. Inside was darkness.
"Well, I guess there's a portal in here that will take me to Christmas Town. Here goes!"
He jumped inside and flew downwards. The black void change into a brilliant blue background and snowflake spire around.
"Gee, this is making me a little sick!" Reaching through the bright light, he flew to a top of a snowly hill and gaze down below
"Wow, straight out of a colorful children book! A little sight seeing won't waste much time!" He turned invisible and flew to the town. Cozy cottages, busy shops, children builting snowmen and hapoy cheers! "I could see why The King fell in love with this! Truly a break from any Halloween activities! A bit cheeky for me but, I certainly a believer now! But, where is this workshop of his, I could eavesdrop on the locate here!"
Spook spotted three girls elves riding a wide up wooden bear.
"I did spot a creepy face snowman following us!" Cried one.
"You been watching Night of the Living Snowman again?!" Said the other.
"You know, I did heard a baritone voice singing!" Said the third. So, The King been here. He continued his search.
"For the last time, a tall shadow monster was not watching you sleep!" Said an elf boy.
"It happen to pops when he was my age, now I saw it too! It's run in the family!" A young elf panic to his friend. Spook face the other way.
"Now, honey. Nobody saw us kissing under the mistletoe!" said an elf's girlfriend.
"Scary, skull, eek!" Her boyfriend twitch his face. I think this guy took it too seriously! Spook check near a doctor's office. Now, no more candy cane soda bottles and you won't see any singing skeletons!" An elf doctor took away a bottle from a five o' clock shadow elf. Spook accidentally became visible, with the middle age elf saw him. He goes back to the doctor's office to get his bottle back. Whoops! Spook turn back invisible.
"Well, off to the toy factory!" Cheered a happy female elf. Now's my chance! He followed her to a big factory. Spook gazed at all the hard working elves. Making toys and treats, while singing a happy song! He looked up at a staircase and founded a shadow looking at his workers. He laughed very jolly and retrieved to his office. That's must be him! He floated up to his office and peek behind the door, watching him check his list. I hope I don't make this painfuly awkwards. Here goes! Spook reveal his ghostly body and slowly went up to him.
"Um, are you Mr. Claus?" He turned around. He gasps and took off his glasses. Spook felt nervous "I hope I didn't frighten you!"
"Why, is it Sidney Lockheart" Spook gasps
"How did you? I haven't went by that name is years!"
"Ho, Ho! I'm know every good boys and girls in all of history! You were always such an honest boy!"
"But, I never celebrated Christmas and didn't know you were real!"
"You wanted to." Spook sigh.
"Yeah, my dad thought it was a nonsense Holiday and all the kids poke fun of me that I wanted to believe in you. I guess I was in a bad environment."
"All is forgiven. I was sadden to hear you died so young, only eleven. Have you become a wondering soul looking forgiveness?"
"No. Mr. Claus, I came here to protect you."
"From what, my boy."
"I'm not a wondering soul, Me and my dad are citizens of Halloween Town." Santa cough a little.
"Oh, dear. Does this regard a certain skeleton?"
"I'll explain."
Spook explain the simple explanation on Jack's plan.
"Hmm, I see. He wants to take my job again. That poor skeleton never can rest his weary soul."
"Please, Mr. Claus! He means well. The King's not bad, Halloween is in his bones!"
"Yes, my boy. I'm aware of that. I really thought he learn his lesson."
"Something must had caused him to forget! Me and my good friends are trying the best we can to stop him!"
"Have you tried to tell him he had done it before?"
"Oh, I could of had just show him the b- oh I'm stupid!" He bop his own head.
"No need to beat yourself up. You're here now so, might as well do your job. Besides, there's no telling what he'll do if you told him or not!"
"What about those trio?" Santa shivered.
"Yes, the three naughty children! I don't like them one bit! But, with a friendly ghost by my side, I'm sure we'll have a safe Christmas!
"So, you'll let me protect you?"
"Yes, my boy. And I'll make sure to collect every Halloween presents that skeleton drop in each homes."
"Thank you, sir!" Spook shook his hand.
"Though, I advise you to not show yourself to the elves or leave the factory. Lets keep it between you and me, we don't want to panic anyone. And I'll have the guards tight on security!"
"Sure thing! I'll camp in your office at nights!"
"And while you are here, lets have some fun as well. Lets make up all you lost as a young child!" Santa claps his hands together.
"Sound great!"
