Roll them Bones

The prophecy

^^^^Bad joke but I don't care^^^

**Harry's POV**

As soon as I heard Santa call Hallow, pure of heart. I knew that he was the one in the prophecy. I am not sure that it was a good or bad thing.

*One week ago*

When Urma came back, after her plan failed, but she had a smile on her face. She summoned Shadow and me to a meeting when we got the notice. I was a little late to the meeting because I was trying to get Tick Tock to eat my hand. Still has not worked yet.

"Shadow, can you fill in Harry on the Prophecy that I found." She walked off to do the dishes.
"Apparently this is a prophecy that everyone worries about but they don't believe it at the same time."

Candlelight fade from the shining Good
Evil reigns supreme as the Vile.
The freedom of the Isle,
Rise of the Samhain and Evil,
Fall of Royality and good.
One small blade will decide of the fate.
Unless he can save the Heart of Pure before it is too late.

"That is the prophecy that was said right before my father was punished." Shadow said as he played with a loose thread on his skin sack.

Oogie Boogie was one of the first to try to break free from the Isle. He almost succeeded, however, he got caught as he was trying to get personal revenge. He almost killed a baby and now he cannot form anything outside the one bug in a jar.

"How did Urma find out about it?"

"A few guards were whispering as they brought me here. They think that bringing kids from the Isle is going to taint the Pure princes and princesses." She said as she walked back in. "So, our main goal at this school is to find this 'Heart of Pure' and make it ours."

I hate prophecies and something struck me as odd.

"Why does no one believe it?"

"Because the stuck ups don't like Halloween town and Queen Sally was the one to voice it."
Halloween town, too good to be on the Isle but, too strange to be part of Auradon. I felt bad for them because they don't fit in.

"I can't wait to wipe the smirks off their faces." Shadow said as he yanked on the thread.

A beetle crawled out of open hole in his finger and Urma put a glass cup over it to trap it.

"Shadow, keep your bugs in you. This is a eating establishment."

"Sorry Captain."

He is only an honorary member of the pirate crew because he is not allowed anywhere near water.

"Next time, I am crushing the bug."

She lifted up the glass and the beetle crawled back into him. It was gross that he was just a bunch of bugs in a human shaped sack. I walked in on him cleaning himself and I had no appetite for a week. Nothing like watching someone lightly scrub a bunch of bugs with a toothbrush to make you regret eating.

**Present Time**

The thoughts that are in my head are different than what I should think. The Isle doesn't date but I think I should change that.

I woke up from the memory and heard some light noises. I opened one eye and noticed someone working on the desk. Then, I noticed two things. It was Hallow and he was naked or just shirtless. Second, he was messing with my little Tick Tock.

He was focused and didn't notice me sit up. He was delicate with the mechanics and it looked like he worked on Tick Tock before.

His skeletal fingers were like tweezers with the thin gears. My brain started to think of wanting to hold those graceful hands.

I jumped when I started to hear the familiar ticking noise just like the original Tick Tock. He got up and I saw that he is nothing but bone right now. I pretended to be asleep as I heard his footsteps get close to me. I felt a weight next to my head then the footsteps left. I opened one eye and saw Tick Tock right next to me.

I care for this toy because Tick Tock and my sleep hook are the only gifts I got from Santa. I fell back asleep to the calm noises of the ticking clock.
