Alright here's the next chapter for the story… from here on it gets pretty graphic, bloody and sexual! *Hint, Hint, Cough, Cough* Pay attention to what Pitch says to Tooth, it has to do with her punishment… Pitch really is a sick bastard! I need some help with something for the story but I will talk about it at the end of the chapter! I hope you like this chapter and please review, favorite and follow!
Jack didn't know how much time had passed while he was knocked out… it felt like days. His wounds had begun healing and he was starving. He griped his growling stomach and uneasily lifted himself off the floor, darkened with his dried blood.
"You're finally awake Jack, and just in time too… We have guests," Pitch sneered from the dark shadows of the room.
Jack tried to take a feeble step toward the Nightmare King but the little strength he still had left him and he fell weakly to his knees. Pitch stepped from the shadows and stood in front of the trembling spirit, his golden eyes glowing in the darkness.
"Do you need something Jack?" Pitch asked as he ran a hand through the boy's hair.
"I-I need w-water…," Jack coughed out. He hadn't had water in who knows how long and his mouth was completely dry and cracked. Pitch smiled and pulled a small bucket filled with some kind of liquid from out of the shadows.
"I thought so," He sneered as he gripped the boy's hair and jerked his head back. He placed the bucket to Jack's dry lips and poured the liquid into his mouth, not even giving him time to swallow. The young Guardian coughed and sputtered against the liquid that was choking him, but Pitch continued to pour it into his mouth. The drink tasted bitter and it burned as it made its way down Jack's sore throat. As Pitch finished pouring the last of the liquid into Jack's mouth, he spat it out, unable to down any more of the burning drink.
"You ungrateful brat," Pitch cried through clenched teeth as he struck Jack across the face, leaving red markings that stung against the Guardians flesh, "No matter… we should be leaving. We wouldn't want to keep our company waiting, now would we?"
Pitch gripped Jack by the throat and dragged him through the dark wall of his cell. As disappeared into the shadows, the room began to morph and take form as another, only this time, it was a room Jack was familiar with. The smoky shadows clear to reveal Pitch's lair. It was littered with broken shards of glass and rusted, bent cages that hung from the cavernous ceiling. In the center of the large, open room, a large bronze globe, similar to the one at North's Workshop, rotated slowly; the children's lights glowed and flickered undisturbed against the metal sphere. Jack neck twisted in Pitch's firm grasp and looked over in the large room to see four familiar Guardians on their knees with their hands tied behind their backs surrounded by Pitch's fearlings. Pitch chuckled to himself as he walked over to the Guardians and dropped Jack in front of them, who crumpled in a heap on the ground.
"Jack," Tooth exclaimed, tears streaming down her face as she fought fiercely against her restraints trying to reach the broken spirit.
"Tooth… please don't," Jack coughed out.
"Well, well… long time no see! Did you miss me?" Pitch laughed as he circled the Guardians, "I must admit, I thought you would have given up looking for poor little Jack."
"What the hell have you done to him, Pitch?" Bunnymund yelled to the Nightmare King.
"Ah, me and Jack have had so much fun over the past few days, haven't we?" Pitch sneered as he bent down and tousled Jack's frosted hair as he winced and curled into a fetal position.
"Don't touch him!"
"Oh, don't worry yourself Tooth, or you might just lose some of those pretty feathers of yours," Pitch smiled sadistically as he stood back up and faced the Guardians, "I have been waiting 3 years for this moment, and now it's finally here and I have all of you together once again!"
"The question is, Pitch, why? Why do you want us all together ?" North piped up.
"I thought you would never ask… Revenge! I don't want power, domination or money, I just want you all to experience the hell you put me through three years ago. Not only did children not believe in me because of all of you but on top of that I was literally swallowed alive by my own fear. I'm sure that Jack of all people would understand what that's like after all he's been through these past few days…," Pitch said as he looked down at the small spirit trembling at his feet, "I am going to make each and every one of you go through the same pain, agony, and torture that I went through then and the same kind that Jack is enduring now! And I am going to start with you, North!"
"What do you plan on doing? It's not like you can kill us…," North asked gruffly, trying to hide his fear.
"Oh no, no, no… I'm not going to kill you! It would be too quick and painless. No, no I have something much more exciting planned. Your core is wonder am I correct, North? Your big eyes full of wonder allow you to see lights in the trees and magic in the air," Pitch mocked, "Well I plan on changing that… I am going to cut through your eyes until you are blind to the world around you. You will never see another Christmas or your precious Guardian family; you will only be able to hear the screams of their fear and pain as they receive their punishments, but you won't be able to help them, and no one will be able to help you!"
Okay here's the trouble I'm having… I can't think of decent tortures for Sandy and Bunnymund! I mean, Pitch technically already killed off Sandy so what more can he do? I had an idea for Bunnymund that Pitch did like some kind of animal testing on him, but I don't know how that would play out… The thing is that it has to be somehow related to their centers, like with Pitch cutting through North's eyes so he can't see the wonder anymore. I am really stumped and so I could really use awesome reader's ideas! Comment and tell me what you think should happen to these two (They should to be gruesome and cruel, but not to the point that the guardians can die!) The best ideas will be put in and credited for! Thanks a ton… You guys are AMAZING!
