With one final howl of anguish, Jack tightened his grip as his feet plummeted into the ground for the earth underneath him began to shatter from the sheer force weighing heavily in the air. Pulling his arm back the young skeleton boy forced a grin to snake along his stitched mouth, and with one last thrust, Chrono was sent flying through the air, his body sailing past the Pumpkin Clan tree where his friends slept. At last, Chrono landed like a wounded bird upon the ground, and at his side fell with a heavy THUD.. came his Key.

"Chrono..but how..you? " Staring at his comrade lying limply on the ground miles away from him, Tak stood in dumbfounded silence with his watch of Life and Death slipping ever so slowly from his pale white hand. Turning his gaze at last, Tak's empty eyes fell upon those of Jack. What he saw suprised him...for Jack's hallow dark eyes where facing upward, while a trickle of red flowed down from the empty sockets.

The Council of Ever After is prided with the fact that no matter what the situation, no matter what the perils that may come, they never back down and always complete their mission. However, as Tak stared before him at the face of the young soul whose cheekbones were now dyed red from his tears, he could not help but feel a twinge of sympathy. It had never happened before, and it would never happen again, but as this was the first and last time, Tak stepped away slowly and closed the lip of this watch with a silent click, and saunterd over to his fallen comrade only one thought on his mind.

" I shall give him time to lamet, but the Law 13 will be followed through with all souls to the letter. Soon he will have to go, as it is the Law."

Tears from souls in the Land of Torment, are not tears that one would let fall in the world of the living. For souls in this realm have led lives where their tears have all dried up, and all thats left to cry is blood. The blood that once flowed through the veins of their living bodies, the living lives that brought them the torment which bound them to this world.
Jack swayed still standing his ground, and also still, falling from his hallow eye sockets was blood. His body not used to fighting, his bones crying with tired woes, Jack thus fell to the earth beneath him and lied there looking at the midnight black sky...only one small star flickered meeting his gaze.

"(sniff)..I love you Mommy..." Covering his hallow eyes with his hands, Jack closed himself of the outside world and pulled himself into dreams...dreams he once lived years ago in the world of the living.

"Jack sweetie! Most kids are scared their first night!" She laughed with a suprised look in her bright green eyes. Pulling her arm was a small pumpkin with a pale face, and green eyes that matched her own. " Not me mommy! I'm having fun! More houses of candie mommy, C'mon!" The little pumpkin turned his head and smiled, the face of little Jack beamed with joy as his mother laughed and followed her son up to a row of houses yet to be looted of all their sweets.

.....Then the happy smiles faded away, and in their places came cries of fury and anguish.
"Leave my son alone you rotten creep! Get away from my baby!!" The woman lashed forward her arms tightening their hold, the young woman forced a man the size of a gurilla onto his back. " DON'T YOU EVER COME NEAR MY SON! " She cried, the man fighting back, his hands grappling with something in his jacket.

"Mom..Momma, let me help you!" Young Jack lied on the ground his eyes on his mother, pride swelled within him..HIS mother..HIS mother was saving him from the man that tried to take him away..SHE was strong..SHE loved him so much..
Struggling to get to his feet, Jack hobbled about his innocent mind not grasping the situation at hand..

At that moment, a loud cry flew out from the green-eyed woman, her long brown hair billowing in the wind that wipped past..blood swam over her eyes as the man let forth shots from a gun.

Silence filled the streets for only a moment, for soon floods of people came running, men pulled the man away forcing the gun from his hold.

"Momma.." Staring at her with eyes wide, young Jack stumbled forward his arms reaching out for her frantically. "Momma! MOM!" A sea of people swarmed around him, as he cried through the space between the strangers, his pale hand stretched out while he cried out through his tears. " MOMMA!!"
