Hi! Thanks for giving this story a peak and I don't know what else to say so...hope you enjoy it!

It had only been a little over a month since the night Jack's life had changed for the better. He was just minding his own business, when he was suddenly shoved in sack and tossed through a magic portal. After that, Jack was thrown into adventure that helped him find out who he was, achieve believers, and make new friends. Jack should have been overjoyed with the new life he had, but some thoughts always continued to hold him back.

Doubts like; I'm I really friends with the Guardians? Do they really care about me? What if I mess up again, will they kick me out? They had turned on me so fast at Easter. If I do something wrong will they hate me again? kept Jack from growing close with his fellow Guardians. While questions such as; What if the kids stop believing? What if Jamie and the others forget about me? Will I go back to being invisible? Will I disappear? made Jack scared to go back and find that the children had stopped believing in him.

But through all of his thoughts, there was one person that always came back to his mind, Pitch. He didn't know why but he couldn't stop thinking about Pitch. Even though he had tried to destroy the Guardians and plunge the world into fear, Jack couldn't help but feel bad for Pitch. He had only wanted to be believed in but the way he was trying to gain believers was wrong. That was why he had turned down Pitch in Antarctica. He didn't want to be feared. He wanted the kids to like him and play with him. Yet Jack couldn't help but feel sorry for Pitch when Jamie ran through him. He looked so sad and alone and Jack wanted to help him. But before he could Pitch ran off and the Guardians got in the way. And the worst part was Jack had let the Nightmares take Pitch. He saw how scared Pitch was and he knew that he should help, but Jack was scared that the Guardians would hate him. He had just gotten their trust back, he didn't want to lose it again. Jack tried to find Pitch and apologize, but the hole was gone and Pitch was nowhere to be found. Jack did his best to keep himself busy and his mind on other things. But his thoughts would somehow come back around to Pitch.

Jack knew he couldn't talk about it with the Guardians, they wouldn't understand. The kids were too young and they hated Pitch. Accept Sophie, she thought his name sounded funny. But the one person left, had never answered him back.

"Hey, haven't talked to you in while," Jack said, sitting on a roof in Burgess, "First I should say thanks for making me a Guardian and everything. It great having believers and being friends with the other Guardians," Jack smiled before looking down at his hands, "But I kinda need to ask for your help. I know it sound crazy but, every since I saw Pitch get taken by the Nightmares, I haven't stopped thinking about him. I feel bad for him and I even wish that I had helped him. I don't know if this is bad or not, but I could really use some advise," Jack looked back up at the Moon, "Everyone else will probably think I'm crazy and I would love to know what to do," Jack waited for a few minutes to see a sign that MIM heard him, "Well, just let me know when you can. I would like it if it was soon though," Jack stood up and grabbed his staff, "Talk to you later I guess," Jack gave MIM a small wave before hopping down to the street.

Jack enjoys quiet evenings in Burgess, where he can just roam the town without having a lot of people around, who could walk through him. But the quiet only lasted two minutes.

"AHHH Help!"

"No one's going to help you, monster!"

Jack stopped in his tracks.

""Let's beat him, then throw him off a cliff."

"Please, let me go!"

Jack knew two of those voices and third sounded like a child. Jack followed the voices to a dim alley. There were two boys around 20-25 holding what looked to be a small child.

"Why don't we have our fun with him, then give him to the Guardians. I'm sure they'd love to see him," said one of the boys. He had spiky, bright blonde hair with red tips. He was wearing shorts, an orange t-shirt, and flip-flops.

"Sure, but I've got a bone to pick with him," The other boy said. He had shaggy, brown hair and wore a green buttoned up collar shirt, jeans, and sneakers.

"Jarek! Leo!" Jack called out.

Both boys looked over and saw Jack walking towards them.

"Well if it isn't the little runt," said the blonde mockingly, "We came looking for you and found this piece of garbage instead," He yanked the child's arm and he cried out on pain.

"Look, I don't want to fight you two right now," Jack admitted, "So I suggest you let go of the kid and leave."

"Or what? You'll start crying like a baby again?" the blonde laughed.

"Good one," giggled the brown head.

"Look, pick on me not the kid," said Jack.

"Do you really think that just because you're a Guardian now, that you can order us around?" the blonde hissed.

"Jarek," Jack glared at the blonde, "I just want you let the kid go, then I'll leave."

"This isn't a kid!" Jarek shouted, "This is a monster with a death wish!"

The child whimpered and tried to pull away but the boys just pulled back.

"You have three seconds to get lost, before I turn you both into icicles," Jack threatened, pointing his staff at them.

"You don't have the guts," teased the brown head.

Jack simply pointed his staff and covered the brunette's feet in ice.

"Ahh," the boy cried out at the sudden ice, "Jarek,"

"Just melt it, Leo," Jarek hissed.

"I mean it, get lost!" demanded Jack, giving them a hard glare.

"Jarek, maybe we should go," said Leo, "He's a Guardian, let him deal with it."

Jarek looked back between Leo and Jack, "Fine!" growled Jarek, "You can have the dirtbag," Jarek shoved the kid back and he cried out in pain. "But just so you know, Frost," Jarek walked up to Jack, "Just because you're a Guardian now, doesn't make you invincible."

"I know, I'm just keeping kids safe from jerks like you," Jack shot back.

Jarek shoved past Jack and Leo followed close behind. Jack turned back, only to see kid hide behind a crate.

Good? Bad? Kinda short, but it's just something to spike your interest. I'm almost done with the next chapter, so I should have that done in a day or two(maybe three). Hope to see you there!
