Jack gave a sigh. "Come on, let's go home." He said, beckoning her to come to him.

Emirme wondered if it would be a good idea to ask to come with, but he didn't want to accidentally push a wrong button.

Annie waved her hand for Emirme to follow, as she was two arm's length behind Jack.

The werewolf gave a nod and started to follow the two out of the cemetery, back to their home, his scythe slung across his back.

Sally was waiting at the door for them. She didn't seem amused.
Annie tensed. She looked down.

Emirme saw Annie look at the ground and put a hand on her shouler and smiled.

"I found her at the cemetery." Jack said as he walked up to Sally.

Sally nodded. "Annie, go wait for me and your father inside."
Annie did what she was told.
"Sorry you got dragged into this." Sally told the werewolf.

Emirme was about to speak when Jack cut him off. "You are allowed to stay, but I suggest you wait downstairs until after we talk to Annie." He said as he glanced back at the door.

The werewolf wasn't sure how to tell them that he wasn't dragged into anything, that he came all on his own and would have come anyway even if Annie hadn't invited him.

"Jack..." Sally said. She found it rude to keep a guest waiting.

"Oh right." Jack said, stepping aside. Emirme gave a nod of thanks and went by them, going inside.

"Jack-" Sally began, "We can talk to Annie after our guest leaves."

Jack glanced at Sally and gave a sigh. "Alright... Hey Emirme!" He called to the werewolf, who looked back. "You can go ahead and see her." The skeleton said, receiving a nod then the werewolf went to go see his friend.

Annie was leaning against the stairway, hugging her knees.

Emirme shot her a smile. "They are gonna leave ya alone while I'm here." He said sitting by her.

"I don't guess you can stay here forever?" She asked. Not looking up. Sally was listing to them. Sally heard Zero barking as he floated to them.


Lock, Shock and Barrell stood in pride as they watched Oogie return. He was off balance, but back none the less. He looked around and let out a loud laugh that even carried to Halloween Town.

The Witches looked out from the window but could not trace the source of the sound. Annie and Sally looked around as well wanting to know where the sound came from.

Emirme was about to reply, but then he heard the laugh, sitting up straight as he looked out a window. Jack looked around as he heard it, and his eyes narrowed. "Those three..." He muttered as he looked out the door.
