Nightshade Princess of Shadows ( A Nightmare Before Christmas Fanfic)

Strange New Sroundings

I sigh and snuggle deeper in the warmth surrounding me. 'This is so nice' I think to myself as a shift to my other side. My head is as clear as a cloudless day and for once I feel normal which was now feeling very odd to me.
Wait a moment! The pain! All of it gone! I smile happily as I pull the quilted blanket tighter around me....
My eyes shot wide open and they are welcomed by a faint grey hazy light. I blink a couple of times to let my eyes focus and when they do I find myself in an unordinary looking room. No colors stood out for the only ones I could see were darker shades of colors. The furniture, brick walls, everything that was in the room looked peculiarly slanted but to me it looked like everything was right and in place.
With wide eyes I realize as I feel a chill on my bare shoulders that I have no cloths on under the covers.
"WHY IM I NAKED!!" I frantically huddle myself deeper in the blankets.
Okay first question: Where am I?
Second more concerning question: WHY AM I FLIPPIN NAKED?!!"
I jumped and gasped with shock as the heavy metal door opened. A man rolled in siting in a wheelchair. He had paper white skin, very thin protruding lips humorously a little like a ducks beak. He was the size of a small boy hunched in that wheelchair but from his deep rinkles, flabby cheeks and his deep raspy muttering I new he was just a frail old man. I couldn't see his eyes for they were concealed under shaded round framed specticals. I pulled my covers up higher but he didn't notice me at all. He wheeled his way to a chest of drawers and was rummaging around in one, muttering "now where did I put that darn old thing" I squinted my eyes and as I looked closely I swear it looked like his bald head was like a hatch you could open and close. Overall he looked rather funny and everything here interested my curiosity so I cleared my throat hoping he would notice. He didn't hear and found the thing he was looking for with an "Ah-ha!" Which was a jar of something in liquid. He was turning to the door but I did the same thing a second time even louder and he jumped as I did.
He looked in my direction and said "Ah, so you're awake now. Are you?" He put the jar on a table close to the door.
With a shaky voice I started "Um Where..." "Wait! Just hold it with the question for now. I can't answer all of'em. He asked for me to get him when you woke." He interrupted impatiently. I closed my mouth as he yelled out the open door "IGOR!!! Fetch Skellington and inform him she's awake!!" His voice echoed and another faint voice echoed back "yes master.." Before a slamming door was heard.
First question: "At least tell me where I am." I said. "You're in my laboratory." He said simply but the word gave me a guilt. 'What am I doing in a laboratory?!' I panicked but I took a breath in. 'This isn't like the last time, this feels different' I think.
"And where is that exactly?" I asked. "Well you dropped into one of the holiday worlds. You're in Halloween Town." He stated.
I know this. I know this place from somewhere.
I clasp my hand over my mouth in shock. 'This can't be......it's impossible this is real! But I'm here! And he's the Doctor! And he just called to his minion Igor! And.....oh my gosh that means he's getting...."
"I came as fast as I could!" He said coming through the door. He looked my way and when we shared glances I wanted to hide under the covers not from fear but for some reason embarrssment.
Just as I suspected, it was The Pumpkin King himself. Decked out in his signature pinstriped suit and bat bow tie. He straitened and shifted his eye sockets toward the floor. "I...I'm glad to see you are well miss." He said.
He was as tall as I thought he would be but it shocked me how his skull face could show emotion like that. His bones shifting to make expressions. Also his eyes didn't look quiet so empty.
"Yes it appears I am" I say without knowing, felling like all of my breath was taken out of me. "I do apologize, it seems indecent for me to introduce myself if you yourself are indecent" Jack Skellington sputtered still keeping his eyes averted.
"Oh!" I said as I realized what he meant. That means it time for question number two: " And what exactly happened to my cloths?!" I say testily glaring at them both.
"Well, when Noir brought you here through the door and landing in the graveyard they were ripped and tattered....." Jack stated. "So you found me their?" I asked him. "Um...yes with your Guardian. He rapped you in him clock and we both took you here." He said.
"Did you tell him she's awake?" The Doctor asked him. "I couldn't find him, and just when you need him too" Jack sighed in agrivation.
"Don't worry about your wardrobe, my wife's bound to have heard the news that your-" he said facing me before someone else barged in from the door. "Oh the royal is awake!!!" She said pushing Jack slitty aside in her hast.
Wearing a delicate smile on her thin but kid lips she bustled her way to me with a tray and a bundle of fabric in her hands.
She was like a female version of the doctor but I already could tell I would like her a lot better. She placed the tray on the bedside table saying "poor dear, you've been through a lot haven't you! My name is Jewel by the way"
I smiled at her. "Frank! Why didn't you tell me she was awake?! Oh and aren't you just a bone chilling beauty!! Wouldn't you say Jack?" She exclaimed.
Still bowing his head he uttered "Um..y.yes-"
I frowned 'I'm still ugly but I might not look too bad here in this world'
"I'm sorry hun, but I couldn't find anything else for you to wear. Certainly not fit for a princess but it will have to do." She said glumly while unfolding the bundle.
A dress.
Long sleeved, v neck, grey gown. I didn't care that it wasn't the prettiest but it was to me for it would be the first one I would ware in years.
"It's alright. I love it.." I said smiling.
"Better get you changed then! You two! Turn around and no peaking!!" She said pointing a finger at then both. Jack turned swiftly and the doctor wheeled his chair around.
When I pulled back the covers I didn't see the body I had. My legs and arms were now extremely long and thin with a strange ashy grey colouring to my skin. My chest was the same, can't complain about that but I looked like I was in-between someone dyeing of starvation and a person who was naturally skinny.
There wasn't any pain but my limbs did feel a little numb. I slowly sat myself over the edge of the bed. I thought I would feel very violated being nude like this but I was actually comfortable while Jewel put the gown over my head and helped me with the arms.
Then something like a light grey strand of mist came into me face. As I pushed it back I could feel more of it at the back of my head and to my utter disbelief I had a full, thick head of hair. It felt softer than air and I felt it come to my waist.
"I ..I have hair!" I exclaimed my eyes gawking at the strands. "Well of course you do princess.." Jewel laughed but seeing my face said "would you like a mirror darling" looking conserned.
I nodded and she brought me back a small one from a drawer. With shacking hands I slowly lifted the mirror to my face but I didn't see myself, only the reflection of a dream like women. But...those were my eyes!! My Icy eyes looking back at me!
The bones of her face were both smooth and sharp. Nose just the same. I never new that having hypothermia would ever look beautiful but she pulls it off with her ashen skin lavender and full lips and hair that looked like strings of frost. Like a frozen ghost.
With my other shacking hand I touched my check and she did the same with long elegant fingers.
I gasped and dropped the mirror but quickly caught it again. I looked in the mirror again just in case and it was still true. The girl in the mirror was me.
I put the mirror beside me feeling even more numb. "Why do I look like this?! I don't look like this! What's happened to me?!" I fired as the doctor and Jack turned around.
"Princess, just calm dow-" Jewel whispered almost mothering but I cut her off "Stop calling princess!I'm not a little girl that needs to be called it!Why do you call me that?!" I shouted.
Jack swiftly made his way to my side, gently put his boney hand over mine and calmly said with all seriousness "Because you are one..."
