Chapter 3

Trouble awaits!

"Really?! Of all times for you to show up, why now?!" I snapped glaring up at the nightmare king, otherwise known as Pitch Black. He frowned down at me, then ran his hand through his slick black hair in frustration.

"Well excuse me for wanting to make an entrance!" He said defensively.

Jack glanced in our way depressed.

"... Go away pitch..." Was all he muttered turning back away.

Pitch looked over at the dark cloud that hovered over Jack in wonder.

"What's wrong with him?" He asks trying not to sound as curious.

"His..."

"I'M HERE!" North yelled merrily while crashing down the chimney.

Ah birds! He yelled

Why is there birds in the chimney?! He shouted.

We both heard distinct caws and swatting noises, followed by a couple

naughty list threats. Who knew birds could be on the list.

Just then the chimney door swung open with feathers fluttering everywhere.

Pitch and I both stared over at North as he stood up to dust ash off his knees. He looked up to see an un- welcomed guest.

"Pitch?!" He yelled in horror drawing his swords imminently.

"Calm down North, I'm on break" he stated plainly while inspecting his black fingernails.

"I don't scare until 8:30" He added glancing up at the clock.

"You got 15 minutes, until then I'll be under your bed" he said morphing into a shadow and gliding upstairs.

"So creepy" I muttered staring at the stair case.

"Ahem, you called so vat am I here for?" North asks tapping his black heavy boot against the concrete floor.

"Jacks staff got...Disintegrated..." I whispered looking over at Jack.

...

...

"VAAAAAT?!" He yelled in rage.

"Don't yell at me, I gotta creepy bad guy under my bed a depressed winter sprit in the corner and a giant Bigfoot bunny in my closet! Don't ask how he got there because right now I honestly don't know!" I said gasping for air.

I was currently putting out the fire, in a vain attempt to gather Jacks magical staff ashes.

"So can you please fix the staff hook thingy?" I begged holding a handful of ash up to him.

"Oh alright! but-"

"Yes I'll give you extra cookies for Christmas! Just fix the staff!" I begged mercilessly while gathering the rest of the ash remains.

"Ok but there is one thing I'd like to say before I do this" he said seriously.

"What?" I ask stressing out.

"APRIL FOOLS!" He and Jack yelled together.

"... I...you... What?!"

So behold! The mischievous sprits strike again! What will happen next?
