The boogeyman's son
(Jacks pov)
The light shined through the snow was white as ever, a white haired young teen woke up his icily blue eyes blinked for a moment before yawning and stretching he scratched his back. I tried to remove the sleepiness from last night's terrifying drea- nightmares I looked around and saw my staff leaning against the door my only form of power I picked it up and realized with a jolt it was Christmas.
I smiled a devilish grin time for me to do some mischief he stealthily climbed out his window and cold the north winds to carry him to the top of North's workshop he planned to make snow come down on bunnymun for a bit when he arrived.
See he has been practicing making mini blizzards that follow you where ever you go unless I dissipate it also he was ready to have some fun. But he couldn't stop thinking about his dream it was awful it was like reliving fighting pitch but this time he was the one causing the pain to everyone and he couldn't stop it he shuddered no matter "I will never do that ever!" he sat for a few minutes till he saw the familiar ears of his target he giggled let the fun begin he summoned a small flurry first then made the snow pelt him harder he ran around in circles Jack couldn't hold in his burst of laughter then bunny looked up he growled and through his boomerang which jack dodged, "oops" he didn't see is come back around till it scraped off a bunch of snow from the roof above plop all over jack.
The giant kangaroo cracked up and the flurry dissipated bunny got better at his tricks around the holidays so he just let him have his fun he felt depressed usually he fought it but this time it showed and bunny caught it. He stopped laughing seeing a tear come from the corner of jack's eye he never meant to hurt him he wouldn't show it but he felt terrible for jack.
He heard from sandy and north of his terrible sleepless night "hey jack lets go inside and celebrate." He called out to the glum spirit but he still didn't move he decided to go get everyone to cheer him up (what the giant Easter kangaroo can be sweet it's my story deal with it!) Jack eyes glazed over remembering a part of his nightmare he used his snow for something evil and he hurt bunnymun he didn't ever want to hurt the guardians "Never ever" he whispered he felt a snow pelt him in the head he looked down to see a smiling sand man and a bunny locked and loaded for a snowball fight north was standing their laughing and tooth fairy was sending he small little sprites to go play with the others, I couldn't help the smile that came I flew down to greet them first by throwing a giant snowball at Bunny and he collapsed in a heap of snow. "Jack merry Christmas!" the tooth fairy chimed and hugged him, "yeah merry Christmas everybody" north smiled jack let us open our gifts I have something special for you please follow me. I wondered what he had so I followed, I looked back to see a worried expression from the others which made me frown what's wrong with them. Down winding halls past North's office and half the workshop.
I was getting tired just from walking "north slow down!" North looked at the far behind winter spirit he chuckled "come on try to keep up jack." Jacks eyes flashed a very ice blue in annoyance and the room temperature dropped "I'm trying," it came out in a terrifying echoey snarl. Which scared north half to death but he tried to keep a calm face for jacks sake he thought in his mind worriedly I have never heard that emotion or power of tone from jack which is not good he needs to calm down for a bit I hope it has nothing to do with last night's episode?
He quickly turned left to a room too double doors made of ice stood in front it had too sprites of ice and earth and the middle was the manny the man on the moon. Jack looked curiously at the door he's never seen this room before north smiled "jack even if you don't have a domain yet I'd like to give you your own quarters your own means of operations I give to you your own domain."
He pushed the door open. Ice and snow sprinkled from the ceiling never ending chill of winter blew through the furniture was like ice sculpted entirely of ice it will never melt jack noticed the walls showed all his adventures with the guardians and the man on the moon could be seen from here a globe of ice almost completely covered in yellow dots of believers glowed on each continent. Jack was speechless he didn't know what to say, so I only did one action I hugged north in a bone crushing hug "thank you,"
North smiled "you're welcome jack, now then let's go see the others and watch them open their presents!" The rest of Christmas was spent with glee jack even started laughing for once in a while which made all the guardians happy to hear him be himself again. But it was time for sand man bunny and tooth fairy to go, before tooth fairy left baby tooth gave jack a minty toothbrush shaped like a candy cane she kissed him on the cheek and waved by sand man left via sand cloud and bunny thumped three times down a rabbit hole home. Leaving North and Jack alone with the elves, an yeti. North turned to jack and smiled I'm glad your cheers back jack now it's time for bed even young immortal frost spirits need their rest. At that jacks eyes went big he did not want to return his nightmare of him killing everyone. He shook his head "hey you know what I forgot to go grab my staff be right back." he asked nervously. He looked up to see the doors blocked by to very big white furry yetis and elves surrounded him. North had a grim smile "jack don't lie we know about your problems please just tell me so we can help you." Jack didn't want to tell north about him turning dark he looked at the freezing tundra covered window he could make it easy but north saw this and sealed all windows which jack flew towards in a instant trying to push open he tried each window elves yetis shook their heads in guilt of having to do this.
Sandy said it needed to be done for his sake. They didn't want to do it while they were celebrating sandy knew jack had no choice in the matter and that's where he was patiently waiting for him in his room, he could here jacks distressed cries of frustrated anger he felt a gold tear fall feeling all his pain in being trapped with no way out.
Jack pushed and flew around in circles for escape but it was no use he couldn't beat this kind of magic he saw the door it was still opened he looked between a determined north and elves ready to stop him of escape. North sighed "come on jack it's not going to hurt we need to know what's going on please" he pleaded. North whistled and jack didn't see it coming but a sack captured him (Like in the movie remember that's how they brought him their via sleigh) he struggled winds picked up frost covered everything he yelled out as the elves pulled him down with ropes north looked away had to be done he kept thinking had to. North grabbed the struggling sack and took him to his room sandy looked alarmed and mad he shook an accusing finger at him for this, but he could see there was no other choice, north opened the sack only to be hit in the face with jacks foot and he jumped out of the sack backing up from them "whoa jack calm down sandy here going to try and rid you of what's troubling you just let him help you." He hushed and tried to sooth him as best he could,
Jack backed up he saw his staff in the corner the room temperature dropped with jack seeing the nightmare flashing no he whispered. North saw his eyes glaze over an icy white blue sandy now's the time while he's distracted he covered the door before jack could escape.
Jack felt pain well up inside him something clawing wanting to be free it was winter frost he looked at the approaching sand man he saw he held his hands up trying to show he meant no harm at all but jack realized he was going to hurt sandy first like in his nightmare "Stay back I don't want to hurt you sandy!" sand man had a question mark over his head then he still kept walking in a calming gesture trying to keep jack from bolting when he delved into his mind, but jack would have none of it he grabbed his staff and pointed it warningly north was surprised at the viciousness in it he swore he saw his eyes turn black for a second. Sandy shook his head with guilt as he threw sleep sand in his eyes within seconds he collapsed. Sandy was guiltily looking down north put a comforting hand on him it's for the best sandman he floated frost to his bed on a golden cloud and delved into his mind.
(Jacks dream)
Jack? Jack called a sweet girls voice a boy with black hair in a blue hoodie with a cane walked out to a little girl with brown hair and wore a red gloves and orange coat and pink boots he greeted her happily yes sally. "come on jack lets go play!" ok before he could follow she ran ahead of him through the forest, "come on jack try and catch me she called and ran faster" jack knew he wasn't allowed that far from the house but he followed anyway,
"Sally? Sally! Where are you he called with fear" he walked to a lake in the middle of it was the little girl. She giggled mischievously come on jack "sally wait dad said not to walk out on the ice it's too thin!" ok she started walking when the ice started cracking the girl screamed in fear Jack! Sally don't move she cried feeling she was going to die she stood still, hey it's ok we- were going to play a little game, jack gently walked out on the ice it cracked more, she cried more no jack I'm too scared, he spoke soothingly it's going to be ok sally everything going to be alright just don't move.
he walked slow and played a song to her he grabbed her and was carrying her hush don't cry it's ok he spoke the ice cracked more she squealed in fear it's ok shh he almost their he tossed her into the snow see it going to be al- the ice broke he fell in she screamed for him Jack! Jack she called. He was quickly losing oxygen but he could see the moon it sounded like it spoke "jack if you hear me I will bring you back within in time you are a guardian of great proportions."
He sung a lullaby lulling jack to sleep. The scene changed to a dark room jack was alone the shadows seem to be reaching out to him and an all too familiar voice spoke "hello jack remember me" jack took a fighting stance "show yourself pitch!" he looked scared a nightmare screeched and ran at him he jumped out of the way it dissipated into nightmare dust. "hahaha scared jack are you to afraid to realize that you're not a guardian but a dreamer of nightmares!" jack eyes glowed a bright ice blue your lying "they do accept me and I am a guardian I'm not afraid of you".
He yelled. Jack felt the walls closing in "is that so then why the man on the moon had other plans you're not just ice jack!" "Your other powers have grown you ever wonder why the guardians never hang or visit you they're afraid." jack of you because you are a prince of nightmares like me." Jack shook his head your lying it's not true I am only a guardian of ice and mischief that's all I am! His eyes flashed a black and his hair turned as dark as the shadows his skin turned white he cried out no it's not happening it's not real! He held his head in his hands trying to block out the darkness, "you can't escape it anymore jack by next week your birthday from the man on the moon your powers will grow immensely to this and you have to accept it"
(End of jack's nightmare)
Sand man left jacks nightmare he looked mostly shocked and north the whole time was worried well? Sandman showed pictures of jacks dream, north frowned and now he knew it was not his right to intrude no wonder jack went ballistic pitch must have done something to him last time they fought sandy were going to help him no matter what I don't care if he doesn't want are help right now jack is to be condemned till we know he'll not run from us and we'll be able to fix him. Sandman nodded with determination.
