Lock In The Nightmare Before Christmas Novels & Stories

"It's Christmas Eve. We shouldn't get the police involved during such a happy occasion. It'll just ruin the mood for everyone." However, Giselle refused to listen to them. She grabbed a stool and planted it next to the door before sitting heavily on it. "We don't have to call the police, but I will get my money back one way or another. No one will have a good time until my money is returned to me!"

The cold of a thing that has never been warm. I wanted to scream. My throat closed. I wanted to run. My legs would not move. The same paralysis that comes in nightmares had seized me while I was wide awake. I could only lie there, frozen, staring at the crack of the closet door. The darkness inside seemed thicker than darkness should be. It pulsed. It breathed. Then I remembered what the whisper had said. You forgot to check under the bed.

And I’m going to get him back. I'm having another nightmare. In this one, I'm in a dark room and I can't see a thing. I'm panting and calling for Jaxon, but there's no response. I run out and fall into a pile of snow. When I look up, there's a full moon, shining so bright like the sun. Suddenly, it turns red, and I hear heavy footsteps behind me.

Wren answered. Wren was mumbling under his breath as he attached the box to the door lock. He took a step back and looked at Lindsay. She could tell from the look on his face that he was worried about what could be behind that door and what could happen when it opened. They waited for close to a minute before they saw the red light on the lock turn green and heard a deep thud of the door unlocking.

He tapped the frame of his temple, activating a high-tech ocular lens that hummed to life, bathing his vision in a digital green glow. "Oh, McDonald’s," he noted. He pulled the handle, but it remained stubborn. "Darn it. The one time Riven actually remembers to lock the door." He looked back at her. She looked so small, her eyes gloomy and full of an innocence that didn't belong in this world. "Don't worry, I’ve got a trick for this." He fished a slender silver needle from his pocket. With the precision of a surgeon, he worked the lock until a muffled click echoed through the night. "Voila!"

“For some, I guess I would. Sweetheart, this is not something I would want to bring you into, but I have no other choice.” “I get that. Always trying to protect me. However, this time I think I need to know so I can help you. Something is clearly bothering you.” She said as she looked into the golden pools of his eyes, and she almost forgot why he was there. She had to shake her head, and she knew she could not get distracted by his eyes and the wonders contained in them. “This is not something that is normal, either.” He stated as he looked at her. “A nightmare.”

Rio murmured, scanning his tablet. “That’s not just strange,” Theo replied. “That’s a stage. We’re the audience and someone’s already behind the curtain.” “Then we spring it,” Dren said. “Quiet and fast.” Kade took point, crowbar in hand. At 444B, he wedged the steel under the lock. A muted snap, and the crate doors groaned open. A hiss of chilled air escaped, carrying the sharp tang of cold metal, chemical preservatives… and something wrong.

Magnus asked, his voice filled with concern, his eyes scanning her for any sign of injury. Lara clutched the bedsheet tightly, still trembling. "I had a nightmare, Magnus," she whispered between gasps for air, her voice shaky. "It was horrible… I saw Ethan. His eyes—they were filled with darkness, like he was consumed by something evil. And he… he pointed a blade at me."

She spoke again, but this time he only heard three words. 'Trapped, freezing, room.' Without wasting any more time, he dashed inside as fast as he could and hurried towards the freezing room. He knew it was someone who locked her up. He finally got to the door. He grabbed the door knob and tried to open the door, but it wouldn't budge. He stepped back and kicked the door with his bad leg; the door didn't open. He kicked it over and over again until the door lock broke.

Jess knew she had to get up early, but they didn’t really give her anything for her to know what the time was, so she thought of just falling asleep very early so that she would fake up early as well, but the nightmares had kept her up. Jess run up the stairs, but the door at the top of the stairs was locked. She threw her body against it, hoping to break free, but she couldn’t. A hand grabbed her ankle and pulled her feet out from under her and pulled her down the flight of stairs. By the time she reached the bottom of the stairs she was disorientated. When she came too all she felt was the rough hands roaming her body. She screamed and fought back, but it was useless. It was too dark to se
