Chapter 4: From bad to worse

Suddenly the whole Globeroom darkened. Jamie stopped yelling at Jackie and the Guardians took their weapons. "Pitch" growled Bunny and Jackie looked questioning to his big brother who looked a little pale: "Jamie, who is that?" "It´s the boogeyman" answered Jamie simply. And suddenly he was there coming out of the shadows. He had a bow and an arrow and a cruel smile in his face. "Hello Jamie" he said simply. The teen twirled around and Pitch shooted. The next second he was gone again before any of the Guardians could react. And all they could do was stay and watch because they were too far away.

Jamie closed his eyes and waited for the pain, he knew for sure there was no way the black arrow could miss him.

But nothing came.

Slowly Jamie opened his eyes only to find himself unharmed. Could it be? Could Pitch have missed him?

A whimper from the ground crushed his hope. Jackie, his beloved fun-loving little brother, laid there, curled and silently crying. Tears floated his little cheeks down, his eyes were closed and his brown hair sticked to his forehead with sweat. The worst part about that all was the black arrow stuck inside the childs stomach.

Pitch hadn´t missed Jamie. Jackie simply had protected his brother with a jump and his body.

Horror was written all over Jamies face when he got himself clear with that thought.

***Jamies Brother***

Only when the Guardians were sure Pitch was gone for sure, they calmed enough down to turn back to Jamie, who was kneeling besides his little brother. When they saw the arrow stuck inside of Jackies little body they instantly rushed to the brothers sides. North helped Jamie getting rid of that arrow and stopping the bleeding. No words were changed, what had happened was clear.

Finally Jackie opened his eyes again. He blinked a few times and smiled weakly. "Is Jamie okay...?" he asked having a high fever. "I´m fine, I´m fine" said Jamie fast. Jackie nodded weakly: "...hurts..." "I know, I know" said Jamie fast. "But don´t worry you´re gonna be fine again, in no time." "...we´ll play again? Have fun?" "Sure, sure. But why did you do that?" "...couldn´t let Jamie be hurt...No, I couldn´t...wouldn´t be fun..." the child whispered and fell unconscious again.

***Jamies Brother***

Sometime Jamie went home with his brother again. His parents hadn´t realized their absence luckily, but when they saw the condition their youngest was in they instantly called a doctor. The doctor couldn´t understand the sudden and hight fever Jackie had but gave him a medizine to get rid of it. It didn´t help the slightiest. The fever went even higher and nothing seemed to help. It looked like Memas vision from Jackie dieing very young would get true.

***Jamies Brother***

One time the Guardians visited. North had found the reason for Jackies sickness in an old spellbook. "A child his age can´t let go off believe" he explained. And there was no way to remove that spell. "Sometimes we all have to let it go..." whispered Tooth while whipping her tears away. Sandy made a face like he was standing on a gravegard. Aster whispered: "We´re sorry." Jamie chased them all out of his room, being furious: "There´s no way I´ll let him die!"

***Jamies Brother***

Jamie stopped playing with the other Burgess Kids. The Coronas wrote a "get-well-soon-card". And the Benetts went to the hospital with their youngest. When the doctors there said that the boy had only three days left to live, they left again, fastly.

***Jamies Brother***

And suddenly the second night after the hospital visit a furious Mema was standing on the Benetts doorstep. When Jamie opened, she almost yelled: "You! Get your brother instantly and come to my house, now!" And Jamie did so without questioning it.

Memas house looked from the outside like all the other houses in the street. From the inside it looked like having made a timejump from the early 18th century. Mema leaded the boy who held his little brother into a kind of livingroom. Where ever he looked there was wood and nothing new. In the ceiling was a hole. Through it shone the moon being the only light in the dark room. Mema led Jamie to a table with two chairs. "Put him on he table" she said, her voice suggesting no Nos. Jamie slowly did so, not really looking happy. "Don´t worry" Mema simply said, her brown eyes focusing on the small boy. Jamie could –thanks to the wooden mask Mema wore all the time- not tell what sh was thinking or feeling but she didn´t sound pleased. After putting her shoulderlengh brown hair back in a ponytail, she asked: "Where did that damn idiot hit himwith an arrow?" Jamies eyes went big and he asked: "How do you know that?!" "I have connections" she answered simply. "And now where did that cursed maniac hit him?" Jamie showed her, a thousand questions in his mind. Carefully Mema touched the black wound on Jackies stomach and still the little boy whinced in his feversleep. "Why would the Boogeyman want to hurt this child?" Mema asked Jamie. The teen stared at her -like her would have just grown a second head- but then he caught himself fast: "Pitch didn´t want him. He tried to hit me. Jackie jumped between and protected me...even if I should have protected him..." Mema nodded, a deep unknown sadness in her eyes: "Yes, Jackson is a brave soul...I should have guessed it...after all what happened..." She caught herself and shook her head: "I mean I am a witch. I should have known that. Wait here, I think I can help him." With that she rushed out of the room. For Jamie the next five minutes were really hard and Jackies fever and gasping for breath didn´t make it the tiniest better.

Finally Mema returned with a small, ice blue tube with cream. "What´s that?" Jamie asked. "It´s a gift from an old friend" Mema answered and carefully dipped a finger inside of it. Then she put the cream on the dark spot of Jackies stomach as soon as she removed her finger, the dark point started to fade. Mema smiled sad and said: "You two can go home now. He´s gonna be alright." Jamie thanked her a thousand times.

***Jamies Brother***

And really: Soon the fever was gone and the next morning the whole family was gathered around Jackies bed for him to wake up. Slowly the little boy sat up, yawned and blinked a few times before looking on his family curious: "Why are you all here? Has something happened?" The other Benetts blinked. Finally Sophie spoke up: "Jackie, what happened to your left eye?" Jackie blinked now in confusion, too.

Jackies left eye had changed its colour, indeed. The before warm brown had turned into an ice blue. But who where the Benetts to complain? Their youngest was healthy and alive and none of the doctors could explain how the child suddenly had become well again. Plus Mema predicted that Jackie would live a very long life.

But soon Jamie found out that the eyecolour wasn´t the only thing that had changed. The day after Jackies awakening he told his brother from the Guardians and their happiness about his recovery. Jackie blinked confused: "But Jamie, you should know they are not real. They are just stories for the little kids!" "But Jackie, they are real! You´ve met them, too!" Jamie complained. Jackie simply shook his head: "Nope, that was just a dream. Grow up, Jamie, and stop dreaming. And stop calling me Jackie! That´s really childish. I would prefer just Jack." Jamie flinched a little bit to that name but soon accepted it, so did everyone else. From there on it was Jack. And Jack, the little brave boy with mismatched eyes, was the first one his age to not believe in the stories of the Guardians and the Boogeyman.
