You know your not having a good day when you're slowly dying. Jack had got the sense that something wasn't right a couple of days ago, when his hair had started to lose some of its colour. At first he though it was just a sign of him getting old, like when people get old their hair turns a more white colour, jack thought it might be the other way around for him, so his hair got more colour when he grew older but then he wondered how old has a guardian got to be to be classed as old I mean look at north, he's the oldest out of all of them and his hair hadn't changed much through the years.

There was also the fact that he had been getting pains in his chest for the same time he notice his hair had started to lose it colour. They weren't contestant but when they hit they were incredibly painful.

With all that was happening jack had one thing on his mind. If he were going to die, he would have fun while he still could.

Jack sent a lot of time with Jamie and his friends, who were now 15 years old. "What's with all the attention jack?"

"Yea you've sent this much time with us in one go" jack just laughed, "What can't I come see my favourite group of misfit teenagers" jack stood up "so those up for round two" everyone jumped up cheering and so began round 2 of the snow battle but jack had this bad feeling that someone was watching them, something that didn't want to be notice. Not yet anyway.

There second round of the snowball fight had to cut short when jacks chest began to hurt. Jamie hit Jack in the stomach with a snowball, which didn't help either. Jack just fell to the floor "Jack are you okay?"

"Yea…yea I'm fine" he leaned against his staff and slowly lifted himself up with the help of Jamie and his friends. "Look its getting dark and we've had a lot of fun but I think its time to go home" Jack finally got up and was able to hold himself "yea I think your right"

One by one all had a lift home until it was left to just Jack and Jamie. "So what was that before?"

"What do you mean?"

"Well that hole thing where you were on the floor in pain"

"Oh it was just nothing" Jamie looked at Jack. "Jack I'm not that little kid you saved from pitch all those years ago, you can talk to me about more thing then you used to"

"Right well I don't really know what going on but I don't think its good"

"I could tell you that"

Jack knew that voice, he voice send shivers down his spine. "Pitch?" jack turned to see pitch standing there. Just standing there. "I thought you were…"

"I was what jack still locked up in …" he clenched his fist but slowly released It. "well here I am" pitch looked at jack and then to Jamie. Jack turned and looked at Jamie too, Jack could tell that Jamie was trying to hold back his fear, trying not to let Jack see and mostly not let Pitch see. " No Jamie, don't run away from your fears embrace them" pitch moved this hand and black sand through Jamie off this feet and into a tree, but the sand harder around Jamie making him unable to move. Jack quickly ran to Jamie and tried to help but it wont move, he then turned back to pitch that was just standing there. "Learnt a new trick while I was gone."

" What do you want?"

Suddenly the pain came back to jack. " Not right now " .He tried to hided it in front of Pitch but it was no good. He slowly lent against his staff and put his other hand around. " Oh please jack your going to fight me when you can barely stand up"

" What did you do? "

" That's the beauty of it jack, I did nothing " Jack fell to the floor while Pitch walked closer and circled him " you know what happens to you jack if you don't have many believers, tooth and north were turning back human, bunny turned back to a bunny and you, you would turn back to your human form too, but there an even bigger catch for you " Pitch knelt next to jack and held his face so jack was looking at him. " because you were dead before you were chosen you go back to being dead "

Pitch through Jacks face away started walking over to Jamie." It's very harsh don't you think Jamie"

" Jacks not going to die as long as I believe "

" Yes but look at the pain your putting him though Jamie, looks as he rolls around in pain, wouldn't you rather let him die and be at peace " jack looked up to see Jamie looking at him, not knowing what to do " don't listen to him Jamie " jack slowly stood up, Jamie was in trouble and he need to do something. "If all this is true Pitch why are you here? "

" For a redo jack, now's the perfect time to attack with there greatest weapon almost gone, but then I though why don't you just kill him now so there's no way of him saving the day "

Then it happened like lightening. Pitch had gotten even quicker since he was last seen. The second he moved jack tried to shoot him but it was point less he missed three times, while Pitch was able to cut into jack without breaking a sweat. "Screw this" Jack flew into the sky, as he was getting slaughter down there, but Pitch wasn't scared to come up there to. " I'm not scared of you Pitch "

" No your not are you, mined you, you do fear dying again aren't you?"

" Shut up "

" Your scared of dying without a good cause, you know it's coming Jack, you know your going to die. The Man on the Moon even told you "

" How do you know about that? "

" Oh jack I know about everything, see I was sent by Man on Moon to kill you, so you wouldn't be in to much pain, little did he know I was going to cause as much pain as I could before you go "

" You're lying " Jack was so full of range he couldn't contain himself. Sparks started to fly out him until he was at full power and ready to kill. He shot a blast at Pitch and although it did hit him it only got his arms. Pitch bloke the ice quickly and disappeared into the stormy sky. All jack could hear was Pitch's laugh echo around the sky. "Where are the guardians Jack? "

" I can deal with you myself "

" Can you though Jack, can you really " it was to late when Jack realised that the voice was getting closer. He turned ready to attack but instead Pitch and his knife met him. The knife went right into Jacks ribs. Pitch twisted the blade to cause more damage and pulled it out quickly. Jack could no longer control the wind and the only thing keeping him in the sky was Pitch who was holding him up by this hood." Say hello to Emma for me"

" How do you know Emma? "

" I told you I know everything, once you died she would of sleepless nights of pain and fear thanks to me" Pitch got right next to Jacks ear "your welcome Jack", and then he let go and Jack fell to the ground.

When Jack hit the ground the pain increased as he probably had broken a few more bones. He could hear Jamie shouting for him but it was no use, he was in too much pain. Pitch came out of the shadows and kicked jack in the back. Jamie began to cry for Jack to get up. Pitch quickly went over and covered Jamie's mouth," don't want to wake up the street Jamie " as pitch moved his hand sand gathered about Jamie's mouth so he couldn't shout anymore. He then went back to kicking Jack.

After a few minuets, when Pitch had began to get tried and stopped." Right I think that'll do for today " he then turned back to Jamie, waving his hand so the sand around Jamie's mouth was gone. " And now to get rise of you my boy "

" Why me? "

" Well last time you were the reason my plans were ruined, well you and Jack but he's out of the picture " Jamie shouted for help but no one came. Jamie was going to die unless Jack did something. With all the power left in his body he got to his communicator and sent a message to the guardians and then forced himself to get up. At first he walked but then slowly picked up speed. Pitch noticed to late and Jack ran right into him and him and jack went rolling down the hill.
