This is the first chapter and I made this a long time ago, mind me. If you can make it past this chapter, which I'm sure you will, it's a hell of a lot better. Thank you for reading! :D

The night is long and Jamie tries to make it home before his mother. She is a strict type of lady, at least not the type that likes her child out past his bedtime. Something brought Jamie out to the middle of the woods though, the zipper to his jacket not even done up right he was in such a rush getting out the door. With a trembling body, Jamie makes it to the lake and peers across. He sees a shadow up in the trees, not 100% sure who it really is at first so he calls out...

"Hello?"

"Huh...?" A sleepy voice moans from up on the branch.

"Jamie," The said boy squints, seeing a flash of white hair.

"Jamie? Woah, It's been away for awhile..."

"What?" Although it has been a year.

"You don't remember me? It's me Jack. Jack Frost...you know, Guardian of Fun, snow days? Ring a bell?" The guardian floats down from the tree, moonlight catching off his bright smile.

"Jack!" Shocked, Jamie runs forward to hug him, realization clicking in. "I had such a bad dream!"

"Woah, easy! Before you knock me over!" Jack laughs, putting an arm around the boy. "What's the problem?"

"I had such a bad dream..."

A hint of hesitation. "Pitch...what did he do this time?"

Jamie's bottom lip trembles. "I dreamed... that you died and he turned me into his slave..."

"It's all right now, Jamie. I can't die! I have a lifetime of endless fun." He tries to reassure Jamie. "You won't be his slave. I won't let that happen to you or anyone."

Jamie moans softly in pain, a little piece of black sand falling off his clothing.

"Jamie? What's wrong? What did he do to you?" Jack leans closer trying to look into his eyes. "Did he hurt you? You need to tell me."

"Jack..." Jamie's head falls forward onto his friend's shoulder, his body going weak.

"Jamie, buddy, you gotta stay with me...!" Jack grabs him and takes off into the air, trying to get him to the other guardians.

Jamie opens his eyes for a few moments, black specks coating his vision. "Ja..." It comes out choked.

"It's all right, I got you...just stay with me, keep talking to me...how's your sister, is she doing okay?" Jack is panicking on the inside worried something will happen to his friend.

It wasn't a dream. It really was real... Jamie can barely believe it, smiling at his bad luck. His throat has already swollen up, making it difficult to talk much. "Fi...ne..."

"Someone help me!" Jack yells as he soars across the skies. Jaime was being more incoherent with every breath. "Can you breathe, just nod for me okay?" Jack plead with the almost unconscious boy.

Eyes drag over to Jack and look at each other for a moment. Jack's worst fear comes to life, the whites of Jamie's eyes are black...

"...Jamie..." Jack can only stare in horror at what he sees.

"Ja..." The boy squirms, fisting the front of Jack's sweater and yelps shortly in pain.

The frost spirit doesn't know what to do at this point. He looks around frantically seeing if there is anyone who can help him but sees no one. "Pitch, what have you done...?"

Jamie mumbles the name over and over, trying to hold onto the belief that Jack really can save him, but the voices in his head are getting stronger, overwhelming.

"Jamie, just stay with me okay? Don't think of the darkness. All right, we'll play...a thinking game! Every time you think of something bad, say something good out loud to me okay?" Jack presses against the wind faster, hoping if he gets the boy to North in time, he might be able to do something.

Jamie's breathing quickens, sharp black nails breaking through Jack's sweater at the suffering. "Rainbows! Flowers! ...Candy! ... Ma...gic..."

"Magic! There's a good one. You can do magic too, you know. Just repeat after me okay? I believe. That's a spell that will always work okay? So just keep saying it, and the bad things will go away." Jack's grip on the boy grows tighter in fear and worry.

"I... believe...I... bel-ACK!" Jamie's body freezes up, the black nails meeting Jack's chest now and scrapping the cool skin. "Believe!" His skin is growing as cold as Jack's, the affects from the black sand changing him too quickly.

Jack finally reaches the North Pole in record time, flying through an open window and yelling at one of the yetis to get North. "Jamie, you're doing great okay? You just need to hold on for a little longer."

"JACK!" The boy screams before he starts squirming, looking around blindly with pure black eyes.

"NORTH, I NEED HELP, PLEASE!" Jack screams... He feels useless, not knowing how to protect one of the children he cares about the most.

"Kill me..." The words slip between Jamie's lips which have gone blue, death sinking in.

North finally comes and asks what happened. Pitch is behind it, but what happened is beyond him. Jack shakes his head violently. "No, I'm not doing that to you, Jamie, please tell us what he did to you..."

Jamie's chest went up and down quickly, hyperventilating. "Pitch... forced...it...down...my...throat."

"Forced...?" Jack wastes no time in opening up the boy's mouth and sticking two fingers in it. If he has something in him, the best way to handle this is by forcing the boy to throw it up out of his system. "Sorry Jamie..." He says while waiting for it to come out.

Jamie's expression changes in an instant, first grossed out and surprised, then furious. His lips pull back, revealing nasty, sharp teeth and a throaty growl. He doesn't give Jack any time to properly react, Jamie's teeth snapping down harshly without remorse.

Jack yells out. "Jamie stop, I'm only trying to help you!" He doesn't pull his fingers out but instead shoves them farther down to hopefully get the boy to throw up. Something is terribly wrong. North moves up to Jack's side and tries to help hold the boy down and keep Jamie from moving.

"Let go of me!" Jamie shrieks out at them, his mouth set in a snarl. "I'll kill both of you!"

"No, we won't! Just try it." Jack threatens. There's no point in trying to reason with the boy- it isn't him any more.

Jamie's back arches up and screams again. The once happy boy with a bright toothy smile is replaced with a child of anger and black eyes, wishing for nothing more than their death. On the floor though, Jamie's body can only sputter in frustration as a mix of black sand and dissolved food comes up from his gut.

Jack sighs as he sees the black sand come out of his friend. This wasn't supposed to happen. It's painful listening to the screaming. "There you go, nice and easy...We need to get this out of you buddy."

The sand burns coming back up just like it did when it went down, Jamie's body shuddering before going slack on the floor, silent.

North rubbed his hand tiredly in his face. "He is tired. Let him rest some and we'll get answers later." Jack can only nod numbly as the Yetis carried the boy to a more comfortable area. He's worried, but most of all scared. Scared he didn't get there in time.

"Jack..." Jamie mumbles, but only feels large, furry arms around him. He first thinks it's the Easter Bunny, reaching up to feel for the ears, but doesn't feel them. Instead, all he needs is the fresh smell of gingerbread to make him realize it was a yeti. Wait, he can't see. "Jack!" Jamie yells frantically, trying to wipe at his eyes.

Hearing his name being called, Jack immediately runs over to the boy, "It's all right Jamie, I'm here."

"J-Jack..." Jamie reaches out till his feels the cool skin of his friend's face. "I can't... see..."

"It's all right Jamie...everything will be okay. You got to trust me." Jack knows the boy is scared out of his wits, with his eyes, open but unable to see. "Listen, you have to tell us everything that happened okay? We need to get to the bottom of this."

"I-I did tell you!" Tears slip from the Jamie's clouded eyes, petrified, not understanding anything.

"Shh, calm down, I know you told me what happened, but I need details." It's hard, trying to ask for the boy to remember something that's so painful. "What did Pitch force down your throat? Sand? Or was it something else?"

"W-We got in a shuffle. I tried to get away from him..." Jamie screws his eyes shut, trying to recall the event, seeing glowing eyes staring back at him. "He trapped me... followed me home. He wanted to know where he could find you. I wouldn't tell him. He said I could join him as his Fearling prince instead... He... He forced the sand and other weird chemicals into me. I couldn't scream... I was choking."

"And your eyes? You really can't see...?" Jack listens calmly and other than the fact his hand not holding his staff curls tightly into a fist, he shows no anger. He needs to be calm for the boy and not cause a panic like he done earlier.

"N-No..." Jamie's hands curl up into the yeti's fur, the nails still black, not near as sharp as before.

Jack's only guess is the possibility of more sand being inside of him, but he doesn't want to put Jamie through the whole ordeal again. "Okay, thanks buddy. I promise, everything will be okay. You have to believe me, just like you believed earlier."

"I'll always believe in you, Jack Frost," Jamie smiles.
