The Death Assassins Life (Nightmare Before Christmas Fanfic)

Chapter Nine (Jack's POV) part one

Angel and I both woke up at the crack of dawn. I woke up first and just laid there for a minute watching her sleep. She was so beautiful and perfect. Her black hair hung over her eyes and her blue highlights stuck out in the light coming through the window. Her skin was, even in Death, a beautiful tan. I let my eyes trail down her perfect curves and back up. When i got back u to her face i had the sudden need to see her eyes. I leaned forward and pecked her check. She woke up immediately and looked at me. Her eyes were ice blue, maybe even white. I had no ideal what those colors meant. "What are you feeling right now?"

She just blushed and looked away from me. I put a hand under her chin and lifted her face up to mine "Please tell me." I asked desperate to know what that color meant because it was the most beautiful color ever. Even more perfect then the rainbow her eyes become sometimes and I felt like it was important.

"I dont want to, can't we leave it at that for now?" She asked her eyes turning into a deep dark blue signaling sadness.

I just nodded and said "For now." I got up to change into my usual clothes for the day. I turned around when i heard angel getting up. When she looked up at me she wrapped her arms around herself to hide. She blushed and started backing towards the door.

"Please never hide your perfect beautiful body from me, I don't think i could stand it." I told her smiling. She just blushed deeper and ran for her room leaving me laughing. I changed quickly and followed her. When i walked into her room she was just finishing putting on her knife vest (The last thing she puts on). She looked up at me as I put my arm around her and pulled her closer to me. We walked downstairs like that until we hit the kitchen. "What do you want for breakfast ?"

She looked around nervously and asked "What do you have?"

"Well we have eggs, waffles, pancakes, toas-"

She interuptted me shouting "OH MY GOSH!! I love pancakes!"

I just laughed and started pulling out the stuff i needed to make them. She watched as I did and combed through the cabinets looking for something. She pulled out two glasses from one and a big bowl from another. She handed me the bowl and went over to the fridge with the two glasses. She filled them both with orange juice and put them on the table along with the syrup and butter from the fridge. When she had nothing else to do she sat on the counter.

"Angel can you get me three plates?" i asked.

"Sure, didnt i see them when i got the bowl?"

"Yup."

She gave me a plate and put the other two on the table. when the pancakes were done i put them on the table and we ate in comfortable silence. I started to clean off the table but she stopped me saying "You cooked, I clean" every time i opened my mouth. I helped her do dishes against her wishes and put them away, since she wasn't sure where alot of them went anyway.

I joined her on the couch when i was done. I told her the plans i had for the day, I made a slight adjustment. "I was thinking that today, since I have some errands to do, I could walk you to the Blacksmith to do some more training today. When I'm done with my business i'll come join you again and try to learn some stuff from him and you. After that we can do whatever you want."

She thought for a minute then said "Okay, sounds good, but what do you have to do todday?"

"Just go talk to a few people and make some plans that i'll tell you about later i they go well." I explained hoping she wouldn't ask the specifics now.

"Okay well then when can we leave?"

I had to hold in a relieved sigh as i said "Now if you want."

We left at about 9 in the morning. As we walked down the street many people came up to us to say hello. I was surprised many people would even talk to her, especially with how scared of her they were at the town meeting. Finally we got to the blacksmith and I walked her in. We walked up to the blacksmith and told him "Angel would like to train again today is that ok?"

"Yeah that's fine, great actually. You know what i dont believe i introduced myself, I'm Scott, I'm the last 'new edition'. I died when i was 32 after a little acident with the sword i was making. Yeahhh, someone ran me through with it. It's all good though. The community really helped me get through it." He explained.

"How long until, you know, you didnt think about it every second your mind isn't occupid?" Angel asked him.

"It took me a week and a half before I got over it, but with Jack's help you should heal faster."

I could see that she relaxed at that. I was trying to keep her occupied during the day and we could work through it later. I don't think she could handle it right now with everything swirling around about her being the Death Assassin. I wanted to make sure she would be ok and that she gets through this with as little heart ache as possible. I'm not sure how I'm going to do it, but I will.

I left Angel with the blacksmith after a long reassuring hug. I told her I would be back very soon. I headed to the holiday doors first. I went into Christmas (my second fav. Holiday) and went straight to santa's workshop. I just waltzed right in like always and knocked on his office door. He opened the door and motioned for me to come inside. "what brings you here Jack?"

"Well I have a new edition that I would like to introduce all the holidays to. I will bring her by the holidays tommorow and I would like to ask if you could tell the other holidays, you know spread it around." I asked him. 

"Of course Jack no problem but may I ask why she is so important that all the holidays have to meet her?"

"You will have to ask me tommorow after you meet her if you still feel the need to ask." I told him teasingly. 

"Okay Jack, now if you will excuse me I am a very busy man." he said walking out of the office. 

I followed him and said "Unril tomorrow then." and with that I came back home to halloween town.  

Next I had to go talk to an old woman who lives on the fringes of the forest about a certain someone's eye colors.
