Lights Gone. Days End. IT'S Coming.
Chapter 1
~ First thoughts~
I am going to die. Was Jacks only thought as he plummeted towards the ground, his staff nowhere to be seen and nor are his fellow Guardians. Jack swivels his head in all directions looking for any assistance calling out into the night sky, nothing. He braces for impact, pain, pure agony races up Jacks back as he collides with the solid earth. Jack looks up though the tears and bleariness to see Pitch grinning sheepishly at him. As Jack fades away into unconsciousness he hears Pitch's words "Oh jack this is just the beginning of my plans", Pitch says bluntly as he fades into the shadows his Golden eyes shining like embers in the night.
"Jack!" He opened his eyes, the call was from far away but he had not the strength to answer it, Jack lay there not moving icy tears forming on his face as he concentrating on staying awake.
"JACK!" closer, they were coming he just had to hold on a little longer.
"JACK!" Bunnymund shouts with a slight hint of fear he looks around his nose twitching the smell of blood coating the air, he follows it to find Jacks broken form in the dirt still breathing, just barely with ice droplets running down his face crumpled in a pool of his own blood. Bunnymund bends down to pick up the quivering teen's small frame that felt as if he weighed less than a feather "HE'S OVER HERE!" Bunnymund calls over to North affliction in his voice. North races through the forest to where with utter dismay he looks down at the teen in the Pooka's paws. Blood slowly begins seeping from his back and head into Bummymund's fur. "Oi Jack can you hear me mate",
"We have to get him to the pole!" North states with urgency calling for his Damaged sleigh.
"My staff", Jack whimpers through numb lips as he begins losing feeling in his limps.
"I'll look for it you get him back to the pole", Bunnymund says as he carefully placed Jack in the sleigh that just arrived. North nods and hops up onto the driver's seat and sends the reindeer leaping into the air with a shack of the reins there was no time to waste, he pulls out a snow globe and states 'North Pole' rapidly. The sparkles do a vague outline of the workshop then North throws the globe in front of the sleigh and vanishes through the portal out of sight.
Dreams coiled with fierce violent qualities in his mind fear clutched at him as he sees his friends attack him as if he were a foe. Darkness surrounds him, he bends down searching for his staff in the bleak coolness of a cave but it is nowhere and in the void he hears the sound of a crying girl he calls out and runs towards her but she fades from his sight, he did not know what was happening… what was real or not, he fell not knowing what was coming next madness was setting in than he wakes, every breath is an effort he slowly opens his eyes blinking rapidly and looks about the room sweat beating off his face. He was back at Santoff Claussen and all the Guardians were in the next room he knew because he could hear their voices threw the slightly opened door. Jack throws off the blankets stacked on top of him, Bandages cover him from head to toe but wearing a fresh pair of pants and a white shirt over top, Jack attempts to get up with difficulty. A yelp escapes his pale lips as he gets to his feet but crashes to the floor in an effort he tries to get up but only manages to lift his torso with his arms shakily a plea in his mind. Roused by the noise the four jumped from their seats in the living room and moved to the guest bedroom Jack was occupying Tooth got there first. Opening the door with a flourish the Four Filed into the room looking down at a struggling Jack trying to make his way to the window.
"Ah, good you're awake", North says relived walking towards him in an attempt to assist the wayward teen. Jack flinches away from North's touch as he attempts to put his feet under themselves but failing sitting on the floor his hands over his ears eyes squished shut as the room spined around him.
"Jack what's wrong?" Tooth calls loudly a question in her voice as she looks at how he avoids her touch.
"You're not real, you're not real", Jack mutters to himself shaking his head curling farther into himself hoping the apparitions of his mind would leave. Bunnymund looks at sandy making symbols over his head of getting Jack back to bed and the Pooka nodded walking forward to grasp the teen on his arm gently. All Jack could think was not again as he panicked and kicked at the Pooka's legs, North ran forward to assist him grabbing Jack by the legs and bunny having the arms they brought the flailing teen back to his bed holding him against the mattress till he calmed down. A thin layer of frost covered the bed the whole time North trying to reason with the boy. A minute later Jack stops a single Frosted tear fell from his eyes as the Guardians let go of him and he curls up.
"Jack, Look at me Jack we are here, we ARE with YOU…" Tooth said as she rubbed his shoulder, "you fell when you were separated from North and Bunnymund remember you were chasing Pitch after he attacked well you were searching for that new spirit that Man in Moon told us about… remember the sleigh was struck down?" Tooth looked anxiously at the teen that seemed to recall what she said and looked around at the Four searching making sure this was real he hesitantly sat up shaking knowing he could be struck down any second if this was a dream.
"Pitch…" he looked around "he got to her first", he said the event replaying in his mind turning his head to look at North, "he put a knife to her throat than knocked me down with black sand and I lost my staff", His eyes widened as he looked around for his staff "Where's my staff?!" panic rising in his throat again. Jack peered at the saddened Guardians looking at each other.
"We couldn't find it Jack", Bunnymund said downcast, "But we will."
