AN: Hey everyone I'm back and ready to update, I'm trying to take things slow in the beginning and have it build up. Pitch, however, will be making an appearance. I hope you all enjoy reading~

Warnings: Just some language this chapter~

Other notes: The rose necklace and Blake being part human will be explained this chapter.

Blake was walking down the path of his favorite forest as he thought back to his meeting with Frost. "It's amazing really, How one so young could help defeat my father." He truly was amazed and curious at the same time. "Maybe I will see him again, It couldn't hurt right?" Stopping Blake looked up at the sun it's warmth wrapping around his body like a blanket. The moment didn't last long though as he noticed a shadowy figure pass behind him and, with a sigh of annoyance, turned to face none other than his father Pitch Black. "What the hell do you want now!?" He was pissed that his father would show up, Even after he stated multiple times that he didn't want anything to do with him.

Pitch had a stone cold expression on his face his son's words not seeming to bother him. "Come now, Blake can't a father see his own son anymore. I've been worried about you, You know ever since you left." His expression didn't change. "Bullshit! You only came to see if I would help you get your revenge on The Guardians. Well I'm not helping ya. I told you before dad I'm not using my powers for evil." Blake wanted nothing to do with his father and just wanted him to go away. Ever since he met up with The Sandman, He learned to use his powers for good and often times helped his friend rid the children of nightmares.

Hearing those words only seemed to anger the boogeyman even more. "But you see son, You can't change who you are or who your father is, Bringing fear to children is what we do. You can't run away from it not forever, I will return Blake and so will the fear. Just make sure you know whose side you're on." With that he disappeared back into the shadows. "You're wrong father, I may have inherited your powers, But I am also part human" He spoke softly wrapping a hand around the small rose necklace he wore.

The forest was now quiet as Blake stood there gazing up at the sky. It wasn't until he heard the sound of twigs breaking behind him did he snap out of his thoughts. "Whose there?" He called really hoping his father hadn't returned. "It's alright, It's just us" Jack answered back floating down in front of him Jamie following close behind. Relaxing a bit he smiled just a little. "What are you two doing here? I thought you were spending your time together at the lake?" He asked somewhat confused but glad at the same time. "Well we got kind of worried after you left, So we decided to follow you" Jamie explained. "You didn't have to do that really." Blake replied trying hard not to show how thankful he actually was.

Jack chuckled a little before answering. "Yeah well we did anyway, So is this where you like to hangout or something?" He asked holding his staff behind him. "I've always loved the forest, It would always bring me such peace and joy. This place was really my only escape" Blake explained giving them a small smile. "What about you Jack, Where do you live?" He asked. "I've been staying with North for most of my time." Jack smiled as he noticed the sun was slightly higher in the sky then it was this morning. "Oh, I better get Jamie home before his mother starts to worry. We'll catch you later Blake okay" After a nod of his head Jack picked Jamie up gently by his shirt and flew off towards his house.

Granted they didn't get that much time together as they had planned. It was still a pretty amazing day, They even made a new friend. "Jack did we have to go?" The boy asked saddened that they had to leave. "Sorry kiddo, I wouldn't want to worry your mother. Besides I'll still be here for a while longer so we can hangout again sometime" He chuckled lightly placing Jamie down gently by his front door. "Go on kid, And remember if you need me for anything just call alright" He gave one last smile as Jamie nodded his head heading inside.

After saying their goodbyes Jack had thought about going back to see Blake, He wanted to get to know the kid more find out who he was where he came from all that stuff. "I just hope he's still there" He said in a low whisper taking off back towards the forest. He didn't see Blake at first instead he heard a voice deeper in the forest hoping it was Blake he followed silently after it. The closer he got the louder the voice seemed to get, Finally he came upon a clearing where it looked like a small cross stuck out from the ground with rose petals surrounding it. There, sitting in front of the cross, was Blake one hand touching the cross while the other tried to hide the tears that were falling down his cheeks. "Mother...why did you have to leave me, You weren't supposed to go" Jack could clearly hear the sadness and hurt in the boys tone.

It had pained Jack to see this and, without even thinking, he had started walking forwards wanting to comfort the boy. "Blake...I am so sorry" He spoke gently not wanting to scare him. "It wasn't your fault Jack, She had been diagnosed with Tuberculosis we didn't have the money to afford any medicine or treatment. We tried our hardest to make her feel better. But without any doctors it was difficult, All we could do was watch her grow sicker and sicker everyday. Until she well...you know" Blake had been clutching his rose necklace as he spoke about his mother's passing. "Words can't describe how sorry I am, But I will say this. You were there with her until the very end. And I'm sure she knows how much you miss her." Jack placed a comforting hand on his friends shoulder trying to cheer him up a little.

Wiping his tears away Blake gave him a small meaningful smile. "Thank you Jack, I needed to hear that" In that moment The Nightmare Catcher knew he had found a forever friend in The Guardian of Fun.

~At Pitch's Lair~

Pitch was now pacing back and forth in his lair the Nightmare Steeds gathered around him. "Curse that son of mine. How could he just turn his back on me." He growled low in his throat as the anger started to show in his coal black eyes. "No matter, If the boy wants to side with good then so be it. He'll have to face me sooner or later. After all I have the one person he loves more than himself. Right my dear." He smirked as a woman with long black hair and dressed in what looked to be a light blue dress with a small butterfly design on the bottom right corner. "I wonder what would happen, If he found out you were still alive. Poor boy had no idea that it was all just a nightmare I created. If only he had taken his abilities more seriously." The woman looked at him fear showing in her light brown eyes.

Pitch didn't seem to care she was to be used only as a bargaining tool. He truly was a man with no heart.

AN: Here you go everyone, Chapter 2 is done I would also like to note that yes Pitch did in fact create this nightmare for Blake. As twisted a nightmare as it is. It was really the only way I could make it work out, If that makes sense. Anyway I hope you all enjoy reading~ Oh and sorry if this is to short. Again I've been having a rather hectic day. Enjoy ^_^
