Nightshade Princess of Shadows ( A Nightmare Before Christmas Fanfic)

Princess

I roughly take my hand way from Jacks. "What do you mean? I've never been here before, how could I be a princess?" I demand. He stands up and produces a small smile. "Before I tell you everything Miss, I do apologize for not introducing myself properly. My name is jack Skellington the Pumpkin King. I'm also a very distant relative to you." He said as he bowed.
I sensed that these people don't know that I knew exactly where I was and who they were but I decided to revel that at a better time.
"I'm related to you?!" A ask stunned. He laughs straitening "barely but our family trees connect somewhere but almost everyone is related to each other in a way here. I just thought it might comfort you that you still have a family even though it's just me." He smiled kindly. "Is there a name I can call you for now?" He asked.
"No, I never really had a name." I reply. If I ever needed to use a name it would be a simple one syllable one. None of them seemed to suit me anyway.
"Alright I'll start from the beginning then. The day that you were born" he said as he crossed his long legs and made himself comfortable at the foot of my bed.
"I was pretty young at the time but I remember a little. Your kind is usually born on grey fogy mornings. And everyone's dates of births here are always in October. We share the same birthday you know" he grins. I keep quiet wanting to hear everything.
"Your kind has two categories. Mistlings and Shadow Shifters. And the two groups made up the Twilight Beings. Your mother was a Mistling and your father was a Shadow Shifter. King and Queen of Shadows. There is a king of Halloween and his job is to govern this land and protect the holiday but there were other nobles. Your parents could manipulate shadows. They named you Nightshade."
I think I've heard that word before. It's a type of plant I think.
"It was your first Halloween that you and you parents disappeared in the human world. That night all monsters were hunted. There was rumors of humans capturing creatures but it was to late. The event is even in the town history books. Your parents were presumed murdered by these mobs of humans. A great deal of creatures were killed and taken and I'm sorry to say but your the only Twilight Being left. We thought your kind was extinked"
"But that still doesn't explain why I look like this now" I gesture to myself.
"I can shed a little light on that" The doctor said as he wheeled himself closer. "I must say your parents were quiet smart! They new you would definitely not fit in and to protect you they cast a disguise spell. The spell doesn't make you as human looking but just enough so it doesn't look to suspicious. But if you don't deactivate the spell, your body inside your human shell would be restrained to grow and so that's why you literally ripped out of your fake skin. But you seem fit as a fiddle to me now but if you have any trouble make sure to see me" Finklestien finished.
"So let me get this straight. I'm a creature shadow princess thing?" I question.
"Yes that's basically it" Jack nods. I was just getting over the fact that I'm in Halloween town. But this?! Well I should have suspected something like this to happen. I knew right off the bat that I wasn't human but now that I know what I am it seams just so impossible!
I try to catch my breath as if I just went for a run. "Okay, okay I think I got it. This is just a lot to take in." I state.
They just nodded understandingly.
"Can I eat some of that soup?" I ask pointing to the bowl in Jewels hands.
"Of course you can dear. I hope it's not cold" she says setting it in my lap. "Am I actually able to eat this? I mean I tried eating food but almost all of it doesn't go down" I explain. "You tried eating people food? Poor girl none of use can eat that stuff. The only ones we can are the ones that are also here. Like candy and mostly things humans wouldn't usually eat because they think it's disgusting" Finklestien sneered.
"But don't worry, I'm sure you can eat it" Jewel said encouragingly.
So I took a spoonful and put it in my mouth, swolowing. It was actually pretty good just don't pay any mind to the name. So a started eating.
"Splendid, and when your done and feel rested enough would you like to walk outside and discuss more?" Jack asked.
"That sounds actually very nice" I say in between spoonfuls. I try to eat my soup as quickly as I can now.
I'm going to take a stroll in Halloween Town with Jack Skellington!!!!!
