Pitch stared out to the world before him. The sky was slowly pooling into the dark of the night, and very soon it would be completely dark. And again Pitch could go out into the world and he would be able to make a mark. People would remember him. Just a little bit longer and he would be out in the world again. Doing what he could do best. That of course would be striking fear.

He was better at nothing else. He was a monster under the bed. The shadow at night. The whisper in the wind. The creak on the stairs. The vision out of the corner of your eye. He was Pitch Black. The king of everything that everyone feared. He was the boogey man.

In the beginning Pitch had been in an inner battle with who he was and who he had become. He had never wanted to be someone to scare the world and it's children. He loved kids and at one point in his life he protected them. But that all changed hundreds and hundreds of years ago. From the day he became Pitch Black to this very moment he was constantly in a struggle. A struggle to do what he was meant to do now and a struggle to go back to the way that he was before.

Perhaps that was what happened with him and Jack. He had wanted so badly to be good again and to prove that he could be good again. But in reality he left and he had to. He just wasn't a "good guy" anymore. He wanted to be. But he never could be. Not again. Those days were long gone behind him. Perhaps all he needed was time to realize that. Now he finally understood that he was not meant to love the way he had. He was not meant to be with someone good. He was supposed to be…

Dark. Was that what he was now? Of course he had always been dark, but up until this point he didn't completely understand the meaning of that. It meant no love, no personal desires, no hope, no happiness and no Jack.

At this thought Pitch was brought back to reality by a bird swooping past the entrance to the cave. He looked up the sky was just about dark now with only a few specks of purple and dark blue lining the edges of the sky. Shifting slightly he took a few steps out of the safety net of the cave. He was nervous. He hadn't been out of the cave in quite some time and he wasn't sure what to expect. Maybe the guardians knew where he had gone to hide and they were waiting for him right now.

Hesitantly he waited on the edge of the rock peering to the trees below. Nothing moved. He seemed to be safe. Taking in a deep breath and closing his eyes he allowed the dark of the night to flow to him. It was a different kind of energy that was pulled in. There was the fear of night already spreading out. Not far off he could feel a young woman grabbing her husbands arm as they walked past an empty alleyway, nearby he could feel three teens nervously setting a tent in the dark, farther out he could feel a small little girl clutching her blanket around her as she walked nervously to the bathroom in the dark. It was perfect. Why he didn't just do this more often was beyond him. But he could feel this little bit of fear and already he felt like he could spit fire or something.

With this newfound energy he jumped off the cliff and shifted into the shadows of the trees. He slinked in and out of different shadows passing by and feeding off of the fear of different people. After several minuets he arrived in the trees he wanted to be in. He paused in the clearing and noticed a small bed covering a hole in the ground and a smirk spread on his face.

That however was not what he was here for though. Placing his hands behind his back he walked along the beaten path to the small town that he was looking for. He was looking for one particular child actually. The one child who had believed when all of the other children of the world had not. Pitch knew that this child was on Manny's list. For what? He had no idea. But he knew that kid was going to be something.

This child had enough energy and power in him that if Pitch were able to strike some fear in him then soon the rest would fear as well. Then Pitch would be strong again and this time he would take that power and he would be something that was unavoidable to believe in. This boy had enough power to spread belief of any kind faster than wild fire. His fear would be the spark that Pitch needed.

Pitch smiled when the forest cleared and he reached the house that he wanted. The lights were dimmed. He could see two children running in and out of rooms upstairs. One clearly holding something of the others. This was it. The key to Pitch's return. He just had to wait for the boy to fall asleep. Then he would dive in and the world would soon, at last, be his.

And all it would take is a single nightmare.

TTT

"Follow me!" Jack chimed happily back to Jamie and Jamie ran as fast as he could to catch up to the white haired boy. But for whatever reason even though he felt like he was running a mile a minuet he seemed to be going no where fast.

"Jack wait!" Jamie tried to yell out but it felt like he was underwater. Jack turned back to Jamie and laughed. The guardian flew back over to Jamie and grabbed his hand.

"Hold on tight," Jack winked and before Jamie could even begin to register Jack was soaring in the sky and Jamie was being towed along with him. Jamie yelled in both fear and excitement. He squeezed his eyes shut and gripped tightly onto Jack's wrist.

Then they stopped and Jamie wasn't sure where they were but he had trouble opening his eyes. He heard Jack laugh again so carefully he peeled his eyes open. A gasp escaped him. They were on the edge of a high mountain standing just out of a cave. It was beautiful and Jamie didn't even know where to look. The sky was crystal blue with a few white clouds gracefully dotting the sky, in front of them were hundreds upon hundreds of pine trees all layered and covered in snow. He had no idea where he was but he wished that he could come here more often.

"Do you like it?" Jack suddenly asked making Jamie look over to him.

"It's amazing," Jamie said raising his arms and looking back out to the view, "Where are we?"

Jack laughed, "Just a little place that I like to visit."

"It sure is a nice place," Jamie sighed leaning back onto his hands and looking up to the sky.

Jack smiled and leaned back onto his hands as well and he watched as a few birds flew across the crystal sky. As he leaned back his fingers lightly brushed and remained on Jamie's hand. Jamie could feel himself turn pink as he peeked out of the corner of his eye at the pale fingers lightly resting against his own. Quickly though, as not to get noticed, Jamie looked away and back up to the sky.

"You ok Jamie you look a little pink?" Jack asked suddenly peering over to the younger boy.

"What?" Jamie asked looking over to Jack slightly flustered, putting a hand to his forehead his tested his temperature, "Do I feel warm? Maybe… Maybe I am getting sick." Jamie did feel warm in his own self-test but he couldn't exactly figure out why.

Jack chuckled again reached out with one hand to take Jamie's hand off his forehead. Jamie tensed as Jack's icy touch meet his own warm skin. Jack then took his other hand and placed the back of his palm to Jamie's forehead.

"You do seem a little warm," Jack deduced smiling at the boy.

Jamie let out a small laugh before responding, "Well you are colder than everyone else." Jack only laughed and let his hand on Jamie's forehead slide down the side of the younger boys face. Jamie could feel Jack squeeze his other hand around Jamie's. Jack lightly let the tips of his fingers dance across the freckles on Jamie's cheeks and Jack grinned at the expression slowly making it's way across Jamie's face.

"Wha—" Jamie started to ask but was silenced by Jack placing his fingers on Jamie's lips. Jamie silenced immediately and felt his heart start to pick up the pace. Jack released Jamie's other hand and let that hand slide up Jamie's arm. Up until that moment Jamie hadn't even realized that he was wearing a tee shirt.

Jack's cold touch made Jamie's skin tingle. He remained stiff as a board though, he was honestly unsure of what to do. Jack slowly inched closer to Jamie and Jamie could feel his skin burning and it was uncomfortable. Jamie watched nervously as Jack's lips came just inches from his own. Jamie inhaled deeply through his nose just as Jack touched his lips lightly to Jamie's. When suddenly the sky went dark and Jamie and Jack both sprung away from each other looking around.

A dark voice echoed through the vast forest and hills around them, "No! Don't you dare! You are a fool!" Jack jumped up and in front of Jamie ready to attack whoever was threatening them.

"Show yourself!" Jack yelled into the darkness before him.

A laugh echoed around them and Jamie nervously looked around the hills when the voice spoke again, "As you wish."

Jamie turned back to Jack just as he let a scream escape him, Jamie looked to Jack as a long dark dagger was piercing through his chest. "Noooo!" Jamie screamed jumping up and running to Jack. But he couldn't run. He was stuck he couldn't even feel his body anymore. Jamie looked around nervously and tried to move with all the energy and strength he could muster.

When he looked back to Jack he was lying on the ground unmoving and a dark figure was walking over to Jamie. In an instant Jamie realized who the figure was and he clenched his fists.

"What have you done?" Jamie growled trying to throw a fist and run to Pitch but he was stuck and unable to move.

Pitch only chuckled as he walked up to Jamie, "Just fixing up a problem that I seem to be having. And I had no idea that this was going to be this fun!"

"What?" Jamie asked his head growing fuzzy as he watched the world fade in and out of focus.

Pitch walked closer to Jamie and spoke, "You have one of the most interesting spirits for a child and I plan to use that spirit to my advantage," Pitch watched Jamie's expression change to one of more confusion and he leaned right next to Jamie's ear and whispered, "I am going to make your nightmares a reality…"

TTT

Jamie awoke with a start and sat straight up in his bed. When he gained his bearings he sighed and leaned back into his bed. It was only a dream. Or a nightmare. Nightmare…. Jamie placed his hands to his head and thought for a moment. Then bolting out of bed he ran to his window and flung it open and looked around.

Pitch was back, he was certain of it, he hadn't had a nightmare in a long time and that could only mean this was the truth. The King of Nightmares was coming back and he was going to come back with some sort of vengeance. But what was that? And what did it have to do with Jack? Jamie had no idea, but he scanned the ground and the sky looking for any trail that the dark man might have left behind. But there was nothing. Only the chill of the night breeze was present as he scanned the area. Sighing Jamie pulled the window closed and walked back to his bed and sat on the edge.

Jamie didn't know what to do. He had just had a nightmare and he was certain that Pitch was back. But what was he to do about it? He was only a kid a human kid. He wasn't a guardian or anything special. And whom was he supposed to tell. He didn't even know where Jack was.

Jack…. There was something else interesting. Jamie's dream before it turned into a nightmare. Jack had been there and he was about to kiss Jamie and, and what? Did Jamie like it? Yes…. He did. Groaning Jamie leaned back into his bed and stared at the ceiling.

"What am I going to do?" Jamie asked the ceiling and slowly closed his eyes.

TTT

Jack flew across the night sky his hood up over his head and his fingers gripping tightly to his staff. A small flurry of flakes was trailing behind him but nothing to cause the weather reporters to notice. He had been flying around the globe since earlier this afternoon when he had decided to leave the workshop. Tooth had seen him and what he was doing to himself. That wasn't a good thing. But so far it didn't seem to be that much of a problem she nor any of the other guardians had come after him.

Sighing Jack looked down to the world below him; he was flying over North America again. With a deep breath he dove down to the one town that he didn't mind visiting all the time. After a few seconds he landed lightly on the edge of a stone statue in the middle of a park. The air was silent and still, everyone appeared to be in their homes and fast asleep.

There were times like this that Jack actually enjoyed. The quiet and the night. It reminded him of…. Well it reminded him of a lot of things actually. But the dark was the only thing that gave him back what he missed so much. Jack looked around to the city before him and watched as a light flickered off and on. He could feel something streaming down his cheek.

Irritated he took his hand and wiped the tear off his face and glared at the ground. In a fit of rage he threw his staff to the ground and jumped off of the statue. Angered he screamed. He screamed at the top of his lungs. He knew that there was no one there to hear him so he screamed.

He didn't know why he was yelling or what for, but after pretending to be ok for so long he had to let it out somehow. He stared to the sky and slowly collapsed to his knees and watched the moon blur in and out of focus as tears pooled out of his eyes.

"Why did this happen to me?" He asked quietly, then looking to the ground and slamming his fists to the ground he screamed, "WHY!? Why did this happen to me?"

TTT

Pitch watched as Jamie scrambled from his bed and over to the window. Smirking he watched the child's panicked expression as he searched the ground. Pitch knew that Jamie was looking for him, but he was a shadow and it is tough to search for a shadow that isn't your own. Laughing under his breath Pitch left the boy's backyard and started out into the city.

Already he felt hundreds times better, he felt like he was walking on air. The fear was already starting to ebb from the children and into him and boy did he love it. He drank at their fear with a happiness that he hadn't felt in a long time. With a skip in his step he started down the main street that would lead back to the forest. He was so happy that he even started to whistle. Laughing and whistling he continued down the street.

However he was suddenly cut off by a loud and piercing scream. He paused and stopped in his tracks. That was quite the scream. But it was not in fear otherwise he would have felt a lot happier. It was a scream of anger. He waited but no one seemed to be reacting to it. No lights flicked on in the houses and no one came rushing out to the street to see what the mess was. This was interesting.

Curious Pitch walked further down the street and to the sound of the screaming. He brought he hands together as he started faster down the street. He was just about to round the corner past the park when he froze. He couldn't believe his eyes. His heart froze and he took several steps backwards. There he was yelling into the ground and crying.

It was Jack…

Ohhhhhhh Pitch is back and he found Jack! Oh what will he do what will he think?!

Oh and a tad of Jack and Jamie... Dont worry it will not take away from what I know you are all here for Tooth and Jack... HAHAHAHA Jk I know this is a blackice fic. Ok wow I have been inside and away from people for too long.

Ok sorry about the wait, like I said earlier this should start to come a lot quicker after this month but for now it will come when I can post.
