the mysteries within the forest (a nightmare before christmas story)

This is my first time writing a fanfic and judging from other fanfics I've read, I'm suppose to write that I do not own any of the characters of the original movie, though, I think its rather obvious so I'm only writing it in the first chapter. :P

Well anyways, I hope you like it!

Chapter 1: Whats this?

"Where am I?" I ask as I stand up. My vision is blurry and I don't remember anything except my name, Charlotte Amerson. Whats this?

My skin feels cold. Is this normal?Naturally, I'm starting to get worried.

Finally my sight has focused and I can see clearly. But instead of feeling relief I'm even more scared! I was in a forest,a dark one with dead trees and the only thing you can hear is the sound of crows and strange moanings that I cannot tell where they are coming from. I start walking around in hopes of finding my way out of this terrifying forest.

As I walk I feel a strange presence of something following, yet, no matter where I looked, no one seemed to be there. As I look, I spot a man wearing a hood walking. "Maybe he knows the way out" I thought and decided to aproach the man. "Excuse me sir, do you know the way out?" I ask the man. The man stopped and took off his hood uncovering his head. He had an axe sticking out of his head! The man then turned around and started walking towards me. A zombie!

I started running none stop away from that thing. Then I slipped and hit myself on the back with what seemed to be a tombstone. I think so becuase I saw tumbstones around that area. I was paralized by the hit and slowly my vision started getting foggy and dark... the last think I saw was a white figure of what seemed to be a person in front of me, extending its arms at me. The zombie got me...

When I woke up, I was in a different enviroment, laying on a bed,in a room that looked like some sort of dungeon or a place where they would torture someone. When I turn around a young woman, who was carrying a tray with a cup and a bowl, stared at me. "Hello there. Are you ok?" The young woman asked as she walked towards me. As she got closer, I noticed some stitching on her body... no, her whole body was stitched.

This isn't normal... maybe she's another zombie! The thought of being a zombie's dinner wasn't very delightful and so I jumped from the bed and ran towards the door. But then, the door opened and a tall skeleton thing came in the room with a small man in a wheelchair with lips that looked like a ducks bill. "Aaaaaaaaaaaaah" I screamed and cried. What is going on?!

The three stared with puzzled looks. Then the small man spoke "Well lets take a look at our patient, shall we?" and gave a rather creepy and uncomfortable smile. I got even more scared, to the point that tears came out of my eyes. "No no lets see if it can comunicate first or if screaming is her language" said the skeleton man "No lets check her first." said the small man pushing him towards me and making his skull fall in front of me. Involuntarily, I kicked it and more tears came out. " You boys are acting like children." said the lady, slapping her hand on her forehead "First off, Jack, she is obviously a girl so don't call her it. second, she is freaking out probably has gone through alot and you are only making things worst, so how about we let her rest amd calm down first."

"Ok" said the two men.

" Good but to do so it is necessary for you two to leave. "said the lady as she pushed the two men out the door

" well it seems even Sally has limits..." said the small man.

The lady shot the door and turned around "Im sorry for my friends rudeness, they are actually quite nice." she said amd smiled " Well then, I guess I'll start, my names Sally. What is yours?" She asked.

"Are... Are you going to eat me?" I asked her

"No, why would anyone want to eat you?" she gave me a worried look.

"W-well because you're monsters"

"Well so are you" she responded and handed me a mirror. My skin was quite pale, my eyes were blood red and I had fangs. I stared horrified at myself "Who... what am I?" I shaked in fear.

"You're a vampire. no?"

I grabbed sally by the shoulders and asked " How did I get here?!"

The woman, surprised, replied " I don't know you-"

"Where am I?!" I cut her off " How did I become like this?"

"Who is Charlotte?"

Sally, worried and confused said " I don't know the answers to your questions but I can tell you everything I know and if you let my friends in they might be able to help you out too" I nodded in agreement and the two man came in.

"Now all I know is that I was coming back home from a walk when I see you off conscience laying in front of the door. My first thought was that you wandered off and fainted in front of my house but judging by how you reacted earlier I'm guessing that wasn't it, was it?" said Sally

"Please tell us your story" said Jack and like that I told them my story

" I think what brought me here was that white thing that I last saw." and then I stared into the window and saw the white figure outside. Wait, it looks more like a boy. seeing this I decide to tell the others "Look, it was that! Maybe I should ask it?" but then it disappeared. " Yes, there is something wrong with her, let me check her brain."said Dr. Finkelstein but got stopped by a small, white dog-like creature that entered the room "Good Zero" said Jack with a laugh "Like that, the thing I saw it was like that dog"

"a ghost?" asked jack "a ghost" I confirm "But anyways where am I?"

"Welcome to halloween town!" exclaimed Jack "Wait, halloween...does that mean everyone here is dead?" I asked "Why yes, you know alot for someone with amnesia" said Dr. Finkelstein "Indeed, quite strange. But anyways if you are all dead doesn't that mean you can't die nor give birth to anything?"

"No, but after halloween day, someone new appears in our city but they, just like you, don't remember there past nor they seem interested in remembering." said Jack "I see so today is th day after halloween"

"There is something else, every Christmas day a person disappears too, but for the first time someone came a month before. Quite strange don't you think?" said Sally "And not only that but you seem rather interested in your past."

"Yes, who am I really?"
