JUDY P.O.V

 The party kept going throughout the night as usual with everyone praising Dakon while completely ignoring me. I tried so hard to take it but it was really hard when I, the princess of all of Hell, might as well be invisible at this point. And my dad told me that he was "too popular". Father like daughter..yeah right. We couldn't be more different. Halloween Town would probably go all into chaos without my dad for a day but if I go missing, no one cares.

I just sat a table with fruit punch and just contemplated my entire life. Would Halloween Town just go about their days if I were to. Disappear one day? I want to just leave but I don't want to hurt my family as annoying as they can be. But what about the title of the next Pumpkin Queen? Katie clearly wants it more then I do and to be honest she'd probably be the better choice anyways. 

I just kept thinking when Dakon, Mr. Popular after a day, showed up and sat  at my table. Oh boy..here we go.

"Hey..can I talk to you for a second?" Dakon asked.

"Sure. Whatever. You already took a seat and ironically you are the only one who talked to me at your own party." I said, slightly annoyed.

"I just wanted to apologize for all of this. I know its a lot on you to accept and well..I noticed you sad over here all alone and I just wanted to mend bridges. I didn't expect all this positive reception the first day and night I'm here and while I obviously appreciate it, I feel really bad its all at your expense and I'm sorry." Dakon apologized.

Admittingly, I felt a bit bad for judging Dakon as quickly as possible. The more I talked to him, and we talked for a bit, he seemed somewhat down to earth. Im guessing what I was feeling earlier wasn't really suspicion but envy.

"No..I'm sorry." I sighed and apologized. "Its just hard for me to fill in my Dad. I been trying to train recently and let's just say..I haven't really had any luck this week..or the last week or the week before that."

"Well..Im sure you'll be a great queen one day." Dakon said, smiling at me before walking away. I sat there, all alone thinking about everything before deciding to try to enjoy myself. I get up from my seat when I tripped on something causing one of the candles to roll across the floor causing a fire.

"Oops.." I mumbled under my breath.

"FIRE!!! FIRE!!!" The Mayor shouted, getting everyone's attention turned to the growing fire. Everyone started to panic and freak out.

"JUDY WHAT DID YOU DO?!!!!" Katie shouted.

"IT WAS A ACCIDENT I SWEAR!!" I shouted back. Eventually the fire sraered catching onto the decorations and then the balloons and the walls. 

"SOMEONE GET WATER!! GET WATER!!" Someone kept shouting. I ran outside and filled a bucket filled with the fountin water and poured iot everywhere before the fire got worse. Everyone just stared at me.

"THAT'S THE LAST STRAW JACK!!!" One resident shouted.

"You need to get your daughter under control!!" Some lady shouted, joinging in on the blame game even pointing a finger at me. Wow..this is the thanks I get I guess. Shockingly, Dakon and my dad came to my defense. 

"She didn't mean to cause all this chaos. She's just a kid. Please be rational." Jack begged.

"Jack's right. It was a accident. Accidents happen!" Dakon spoke up.

"I don't care! You keep that FREAK away from me!!!!" The lady screamed.

"HEY HEY!! THAT'S ENOUGH!!" Jack shouted.

Everyone began shouting at me and calling me names..I couldn't handle it anymore so I took off.

"JUDY WAIT!!" Mom shouted. The last I saw of my parents was I turned and my Dad tried to calm everyone down to the best of his abilities but I only know wone thing that would make them happy. I never belonged here and this just sealed what I been thinking for a long time. I'll never fit in. 

I ran past the graveyard and sat on the hill crying for a bit. I looked at the forest, comteplated if i really wanted to leave everything behind and decided for it.

I took off, running down the hill and into the forest. I wasn't sure where I was going exactly but I wanted to find somewhere where I could escape all the pain.

The forest was very big and eventually the colors started to change from the dark black color to brown and swirly which I found odd. I kept walking.

Anywhere was better then here.
