Lock In The Nightmare Before Christmas Novels & Stories

I refused to open that door. That night, I went to bed hungry, not willing to risk leaving my room and running into him. But at midnight, I woke up to the sound of a soft click. My eyes shot open. I turned in time to see Xavier sneaking into my room. I bolted upright. "What the hell are you doing?!" Xavier shut the door behind him. "I picked the lock," he admitted, looking guilty. "I needed to see you, to touch you one last time."

The murmuring sounds of the crowds suddenly erupted when she climbed on the stage and stood before the door of the cage as she stared at the padlock which was used in locking it. "Someone stop her!" She heard the voices of people yelling in grieve and panicking erupted in the hall but it was too late as she had already unlocked the padlock with her hair pin and walked into the cave before closing the door. Unknown to the two hefty men that they had another Christmas present waiting for them, they continued with their work. "Luna! Luna! Don't go, come here," she heard them yelling in a whisper which made her turned as saw that they were all gathered around the cage.

Inside, Lily kicked again and again, dancing as if the sudden warmth had reached her tiny body. 'That's right, sweetheart,' I murmured. 'Don't you worry about a thing.' I turned around to face the room at the end of the corridor, where the screaming had already begun, and reached for the leather satchel strapped across my body. It wasn't quite like Lucifer's, but it was as close as I could find, old and battered, with cracks in the leather that I liked to run my fingers over, just as Ethan had done.

“Alright, Sarah, save your energy. We agreed on one night, so just stay in there like a good girl.” “When you come out tomorrow, Donald, James and I will make it up to you with your Halloween gifts!” “How about that necklace you’ve always wanted?” I shook my head in utter despair, trying to tell them that I wouldn't survive until morning. But I didn't even have the strength to gasp for air anymore. Due to the severe lack of oxygen, my vision began to go black. As my consciousness slipped away, my limbs went limp and I stopped struggling to survive. Yet, the three brothers I loved so dearly were still busy discussing the rewards they would give me for cooperating so obediently.

Click. The sound of the lock being picked from the outside began almost immediately. A professional, metallic scraping that told me I had seconds, maybe less. I collapsed against the door, my back to the wood, sliding down until my knees hit the floor. I pulled the children to me, dragging them off their beds in a frantic, terrifying pile. Luna started to cry, her tiny face scrunched in confusion. "Mama? Why is it red?"

The man behind us cleared his throat. "Let's go," he announced. I nodded and held Lindsey’s hand. We stepped outside the room with the man on our heels. Now that Lindsey was with me, my mind was contemplating whether I should beat him and run away or I should wait for the perfect opportunity. I decided on the latter. We entered the lightning mansion, leaving the dark prison behind us. My eyes roamed around, but no one was there. I decided to take my chance. Letting go of my sister’s hand, I turned around and kicked the man in his head. He was taken aback, which gave me the time to grab a vase from the corner. I wrapped my fingers tightly around the vase and knocked it on his head. He grunted

Today she has to unlock these chains and escape, or she might never get to see her mother. She picked up the pin and inserted it into the lock. Just like before, she placed it near her ear and began to twist it. The pin wriggled inside the lock, showing signs of being unlocked but not yet. Loreen twisted the pin inside the lock for minutes, and a cold sweat began to drip down her back. This has to work, she kept telling herself as her fingers controlled the pin inside the lock.

I chanted, staring around the room with wild eyes. I switched on the lamp, which was on the nightstand. A shriek slipped out of my mouth, and I leapt out of bed as I noticed a figure in front of me. I sprinted towards the locked door and grasped the handle, yanking violently. I banged and banged, but it remained locked. “Bloody hell, woman!” I turned, staring into the glaring dark eyes of Sin. I breathed out slowly. My hand left the handle, and I slid down the wooden door.

So, I brushed it off and assured her that we were just good friends. As I approached my front door, something felt off. It was unlocked, which was unusual. But I didn't think much of it and stepped inside. That's when everything turned into a nightmare. After stepped in and locked the door behind me, out of nowhere, I was struck from behind, and the world went dark briefly
