Jack Skellington returns to Gracey Manor

The Pumpkin King's Fantasy

Note: Worry not, readers. It's a dream scene for Jack Skellington.

On the same Halloween night, only late, Jack Skellington slumbers on his bed. He was snoozing peacefully in his haunted house at Halloween Town. Zero snoozes in his dog bed. The ghost dog had a cute squeaky jack-o-lantern toy with him.

The Pumpkin King sleeps in his usual jammies. The same one he used when researching Xmas by books. Jack was tranquil. And in moments, he quivers.

Then, the Pumpkin King slept into his new kind of fantasy.

Jack Skellington was in his black with white-striped outfit. He was walking in the Hinterlands. His eyes barely open up. Jack yawned, "Where am I?" It was still dark. He had no concept where the Pumpkin King himself is going. Jack wonders to his surroundings. The forest was nice and scary. He stated, "It's someplace new." The Pumpkin King was still heading straight forth. Unaware of where he will end up, Jack was alone. The Pumpkin King goes deeper beyond the Hinterlands. He encountered the gates. "What is this?" Jack stopped. The Pumpkin King checks out the iron gates. It looked gothic. He was mystified for what to make where himself is. And suddenly, something made Jack stunned. The hard gates opened itself. The Pumpkin King's curiosity grew. He headed thru the opening. Passing the gates, there was a manor. Bigger than his haunted house at Halloween Town. Jack got into such terrifying wonders. Some ghosts at the backyard graveyard were having some crazy party. The raven caws a couple times on a bare tree. He paused at the front. Where there are four pillars holding the mansion. Jack was about to knock. Somehow, the door open itself. The Pumpkin King was getting surprised. There was a crystal ball. The same crystal ball that tells riddles in the seance room. What makes it odder, the gypsy in the crystal ball was levitating upward and downward. He does not know what's occurring. The floating gypsy talks in recitation. "I am Madame Leota. The mysterious ghost expects you. Be here you just gotta. You are fated of what you asked to do. You saved the Addams and your love. I finally see that you've proven me wrong. You must make your move. Do not hesitate to look in here for long. You bested Oogie Boogie. You bested Pumpkinhead. You must break the curse not for me. For all the entrapped ghosts ahead." Jack cannot wait to save the innocent ghouls. The Pumpkin King goes in the Gracey Manor. The flying crystal ball leads the way to find the curse got started. By a loud door slam behind him, Jack turned in alarm. Something went horrible. The Pumpkin King turned again. Madame Leota was not here. And then, the shadowy figure of a spirit appeared. Jack heard its existence of a ghoul. The phantom grinned impishly. "Welcome foolish mortal!" The ghost's voice sounds similar to the one in the gallery room. The Pumpkin King gasped. He exclaimed, "Ghost Host!" Jack confronted an evil phantom. "What are you plotting to do with the poor ghouls?!" The wicked ghost host smirks. "Well this will be a toughest challenge yet for you: To vanquish the villains of the Haunted Mansion!" The cruel ghost host laughed diabolically. The Pumpkin King rushes after a malevolent phantom. Suddenly, the hardwood floor collapsed. Jack Skellington has fallen into the bottomless pit. The Pumpkin King disappears into the darkness.

Jack woke up in fright. The Pumpkin King covers his face with bony hands. He could not go back to sleep after such a strange and unusual fantasy. Jack uncovers himself. There's extreme sinful thing at The Haunted Mansion. And the gypsy in his dream is not her. It's some kind of illusion. The Pumpkin King cannot stand villainous characters. Jack became mad. "I got to break that Gracey Manor curse."

It's official. Jack Skellington's going to break the Gracey Manor curse. He will get to it later. The next part is going to be the Addams character. You'll see...
