I watched her fall....frozen to my spot. I just watched as my world, my reason for existing, my one true love, crashed to the floor. It was like I was frozen in time. I opened my mouth but no sound came out. I tried to move my body but nothing responded. Ir was like my mind had been severed from my body. Like I had no control. Almost like my sun was slowly turning black, like the light in my life was going out. Soon I crashed to the floor as well. I landed on my knees with a thump and my sight started getting fuzzy. I fell in to the fetal position and everything went dark..........

I woke up groggily and looked around the room. I was in the hospital, but I also had restraints on my arms, Hmmm I wonder why those are there.... I tried to remember anything after it went black but, of course, I can't.

I struggled against the restraints a little more only for Mr.Stephen, the Halloween Town doctor, to come into my room. I looked up to see him and two other guys behind him....Why are they here? Mr.Stephen smiled at me and waved the other two guys off. They soon left, and now I could finally ask my questions, I asked, "How is-"

He cut me off, "Ah Ah Ahh not until I'm done examining you."

So I let him poke and prod me for what felt like hours. Finally he took off the restraints. He sat down on my bed and made the 'go on' motion with his hand. I finally started my round of questions,

"Why were there restraints on my arms?"

"You were having terrible nightmares or something, because every time you actually 'slept' you would thrash around. You accidentally injured my assistant so I had restraints put on you. I brought the other two here with me just in case it happened again while I was in the room."

Okay that makes sense.... "Okay well......Where is Angel?"

"You mean the Death Assassin Angel?"

"Yes, of course. Is she okay? Was she still on the ground in front of me? What happened while I was out? Did her wounds heal? Is she home with Zero already?"

"Jack I don't know what your talking about...... One, you were alone in the room when I found you. Two, she is no where to be found....." He told me looking, Very nervous.

My voice was a deadly calm, "What do you mean she is no where to be found?"

He cringed slightly before saying, "We have been searching all over Halloween Town for her since we found you, almost a week ago, but we have no sign of her yet......"

I stood up with out another word and walked out of the hospital. I went to the town hall, and sounded the siren for a meeting. They were all there in minutes filling into the room. When I stepped onto the stage they all looked a little shocked that I was here. I started right into the matter at hand though, "Has anyone found any sign of Angel yet?"

No one said anything, I was kinda expecting that but it still hurt. Anyway back to the matter at hand, "Has anyone even thought to notify the other holiday leaders?"

Again I was net with silence, "Does anyone have any questions while I'm hear?"

They all looked down so I continued, "Alright I want you guys to search everywhere for her, and please find her..... Scott I need you to stay after, everyone else please get back to searching, we have no time to waste!"

I watch as everyone piles out of the room besides me and Scott leaving the room looking so deserted. Scott climbed up on the stage and I explained quickly, "I think she's in St.Patrick's Day. When I passed out it was because I saw Angel pass out in front of me form the knife lodged in her chest by the leprechaun she fought. I know it sounds crazy but we need to go there and check it out. I picked you and only you to come with me because your a weapons expert and we need to get in and out without being seen, which will be regrettably hard...."

"I'll come with you but we need to stop by my shop first and prepare." Scott said already walking out. "I still have a few smoke bombs and tranquilizers we can use......"

Angel's POV (just after she passed out so almost a week ago)

I fell into that hole again. That deep dark hole that seems like it goes on and on. The pain is overwhelming but it's so peaceful in here, it's quiet. I could get used to the pain, I could stay down he- NO!! ANGEL WAKE UP YOU HAVE TO GET BACK TO JACK!!!!!!

I slowly opened my eyes only to see nothing....Wait not true. My eyes were adjusting and I could just make out shapes but nothing made any sense. I tried to rub my eyes only to find that my hands were bound. I pulled slightly at the material only to realise it was just rope. Ha! These people actually think rope can hold me?? I can snap this rope no pro-

The door opened and a tall man came in. I could just see his shadow before he turned on the light. Not much could be said about his face because it was still obscure. He had on a hood and what looked like sunglasses. He wore all green, except the cape was (Red with Clouds on them!!!! GASP!!! JK,jk, ha you should'd seen the looks on your faces! Anyway....) the cape was black.

Maybe I should let them beleive I'm bound. I should find out what they want before I get out of here. This is obvioulsy not Halloween Town, but where am I? I visited all the other holidays except..... St.Patrick's Day! Okay, now I get the all green but why the hell am I here?

A deep chuckle vibrates through the room, making me growl. A voice almost as deep as the chuckle says, "Your trying to figure out why your here, aren't you? I can read the confusion all over your face."

The weird part is that he doesn't have an accent and he's tall. That makes no sense. I mean I'm in St.Patrick's Day for crying out loud! They are supposed to be little bitty short leprechauns running around in all green and being annoying yelling about gold! People, this is insane! For one they kidnapped me, two they insulted me, three they sent someone after me, and four that someone almost killed Jack!! When I figure out who tried to kill Jack I'll tear them limb from limb. After this Jack is on Lock down for at least a week. Speaking of Jack....I need to get back to him.......I wonder how long I've been here? I mean I don't know how long I was out. It could have been weeks and I wouldn't know it.

"See the reason why your here is very simple, we need information. See it really isn't fair that our first plan didn't work, so why not try again? Than again I'm sure you probably don't even know what I'm talking about. Anyway, we need information and you're going to give it to us......whether you want to or not." He said. He had taken off his coat and hat. He was tall and muscular. He looked as if he could easily crush a human.

"I will gave you no information on any of the holidays. Especially Halloween Town. There is no point in trying to get it out of me. Physical pain is nothing to me. There is no point in me being here. It would help us all if you would just let me go." I said, being as diplomatic as possible.

"See now I was hoping you would make this easy, but it was a long shot. Let's put it this way, you know I could kill you, but I wouldn't be that nice. No, I could keep you for years locked up in here, torturing you daily for hours. I mean when you're strapped to a chair, what use do you really have for your arms and legs? Now, either tell me all you know about the Holiday's or we can begin the beating." He said.

"I'll never tell you anything about the Holidays. Never and you know it!" I said.

"Tsk. Tsk. Tsk. You should've listened to me when you had the chance." He opened the door and said, "I expect my kit to be waiting outside the door in one hour."

He walked back over to me, rolling up his sleeves. Well, think about it. This is all worth it. You can take the physical pain, but if you ever give up anything about the holidays, you couldn't live with yourself. Just remember how much you love Jack, remember the time you spent with the Holidays, remember the people of Halloween Town. Remember Scott. Remember Diana. Remember Zero. Remember Jack. Remember that night together, the days we shared, the jokes, the training, the embraces, the love. Think about this and You'll get through anythi- That's when his fist first struck my face.

Short Chapter I know but you guys deserve something. Sorry about the long wait. To be truthful I just didn't want to write about her getting tortured at all. Sorry about that!
