I'M BACK! Sorry for the delay. Onwards!
Jubilee stepped forward and smiled an eerie smile. Unknown to Jack, the night before him was going to be torture. She loved her job, showing newbies how things are done. Now she has a new recruit and she was gonna have her fun. "So you're the infamous Jack Frost, huh?"
"Yes"
"Master Pitch was defeated by you and your friends and now he's got you."
"Yes"
"Funny how the tables turned. Now follow me, there are things to be done."
Good Jack had a moment of glory, before he dragged back down by the shadows of his mind. Sadly it was wrong place, wrong time.
"No" he said. Jubilee turned sharply for she did not like to be told that word. Being Pitch's favorite, she could do some things the others can't do.
"What did you say?"
"No" he said with firmness in his voice.
He gasped as his head hit the back wall, and her hand went around his neck.
"Listen here you little son of a bitch. You will do as I say, do you understand? You may think that you can do what you want, but I can assure you, you can't. And if you defy me again, I will make sure your neck snaps. I'll make sure your head forever is turned in the opposite direction. I will pull your eyeballs out and dance on grave. Do you understand?"
Saying Jubilee's hand had tightened was an understatement. Jack scratched and clawed at her hand, desperate for air. Hearing her threats only sent him into a panic attack. Her hand tightened, and soon he stopped. Jack's breathing was shallow and weak. His heartbeat went slower, slower and slower still. His brain went fuzzy and his body limp. Each breath was a pain as he tried to breath. Each lung heaving as they struggled to do their job. His head lolled to the side as his body started to shut down.
Jubilee laughed. She would've gladly killed him, but that was the few things she couldn't do. She let go and he fell limply to the floor, his head hitting it hard. He gasped for air and rubbed his throat warily. His head was throbbing and his vision was blurry.
Not knowing what he was doing, and being an idiot, he swung blindly, hitting her arm. Turning swiftly had him on the ground, her foot on his chest. Leaning in she said, "You should really stop doing this" she smirked as she dug her heel into his chest. "You don't want to get hurt do you?" Taking her foot off his chest, she said, "Now get your ass of the floor! We've got a long day."
"Yeah sure" Jack answered. He pushed himself off the floor and followed her. As he looked around he saw that some of the other fearlings were laughing, while others looked relived that it wasn't them, while others still looked emotionless. Jack followed Jubilee. He followed her until they reached Santoff Clausen. As Jubilee opened the door he asked, "Why are we here?"
"I think you should know what your friends are really like. She said. Then taking Jack's hand she led him inside, both of then staying to the shadows. In the shadow of a corner, they watched. Her hand in his.
"With him gone I actually got some work done." Bunny was saying.
"No more of him bothering yetis and elves." North said.
"Today was so peaceful without his pranks and endless chattering." Tooth said. Look whose talking. Jack thought, surprising himself. Sandy gave thumbs up agreeing with all of them.
Jack was bewildered. He had been certain they would come looking for him, trying to save him. But no, they were sitting here talking about how much easier their lives were without him. He was sad, but it was easily overcome by anger. *That's how they felt? They were happy?* Jack was angry. He was angry with the Guardians', the moon, fate.., everything! He wanted to bite, kick, scratch, anything he could do to make them suffer. But Jack didn't attack. No, he decided to do what Jack did best. He decided to have a little fun.
He let go of Jubilee's hand and dropped down to the floor. He picked himself up and ran to the Guardians'. "Help me! They're after me!"
"How did you get here?" Bunny asked.
"Does that really matter? I ran. They're after me! Please hide me!" he cried. He started to sob, a sinister smirk behind his crying mask. They are so gullible he thought. He let himself fall to his knees, still sobbing. North looked at him and picked him up.
"Shhh…. Jack. You are with Guardians'. You will be alright." He then carried Jack to his room and set him down. "Stay in here." He then left Jack in the room.
Jack waited for about to seconds before looking towards the window. If you except me to do that, you don't know me." He muttered. He then opened the window and stepped into the night. Jubilee then came out of the shadow of the building.
"That was pretty good. Those Guardians show to much trust." she said. "But now I'm gonna show how things work." She gave him a glass jar of nightmare sand.
Jack smiled as he took the jar. "I'm ready."
Jamie POV
Jamie couldn't sleep. He really couldn't. He tried sleeping in different positions, and went to the bathroom. He tried a warm glass of milk but then his mom was wondering what he was doing in the kitchen at eleven o' clock at night. He was currently sitting on his bed cross-legged trying to read a book for school. He then heard a scream from Sophie's room. Jumping up he went to see what was wrong. He walked into the room to find the four year old crying. "Hey Soph. What's wrong?" he asked as he entered the room. Sophie looked at her brother and hugged him.
"Big Brother! You're alive!" she squealed.
Jamie will admit. He was confused. "Of course I am. Why wouldn't I be?"
Sophie looked up at him with her big, grass green eyes,filled eyes and said. "You died in my dream. Mommy and Daddy too." She sniffed. "Why would Sandy give me such bad dreams?"
Jamie sighed. He then said, "That was a nightmare Soph. Only Pitch gives those." That last sentence went around in his head. Only Pitch gives those. "Oh man." He said. He then ran to the side of Sophie's bed and looked under it. There was nothing there. Just a little pile of black sand. That was all the proof he needed. He then ran to his room and put it in an old McDonald's cup. He knew he wasn't getting back to sleep anytime soon but decided to try anyway. However when he turned around, he saw that Sophie was in his bed fast asleep. Smiling to himself, he climbed in silently next to her. He looked up at the ceiling as he absently put his arm around her, just to keep here safe
Jack's POV
"You put too much sand, last time. Let's see how you do here." Jubilee had led him to a different house and they snuck in through the window. The girl in the bed had short red hair, and a green tee- shirt. She looked so peaceful, currently dreaming of a snowball fight. Taking a pinch of sand he threw it on the girl and she cringed in fear. She suddenly awoke with a gasp as they were exiting.
Pippa's POV
It was Jack Frost. Right? It had to be. But it couldn't be. The boy that just left her window had black hair, a black sweater, gray skin, and a sinister smirk. The boy that just left her window looked just like Pitch. I couldn't be Jack, right. Being too tired to think she closed her window and went back to sleep with a plan to talk to Jamie in the morning.
When they were holding hands, that was Jubilee using her powers, nothing more. before she was turned, being in her presence or touching her, made you go into a joyful mood. now with her being a fearling, her touch makes, you feel hate, and anger. her nightmare sand manipulates you to see what is not there.
EDIT: I changed Jamie's 'oh shit' line to 'oh man' due to the fact that he's like 12 in this story, therefore not yet cussing. also Sophie is 4 and in what I call the tattle-tale stage. Jamie said a bad word... see where this is going? (Let's pretend 5-year olds don't know what those words mean. :)) yayyyyyyyyy!
