Pitch's POV

I smiled when I heard her say that she would join me.

"Good." I told her. "But, I won't turn you into a fearling until you have your powers. But." she looked up at me."Just to make sure that you can't leave here," I used my nightmare sand to push her towards me. I reached out and grabbed her hand.

"What are you doing?!" she yelled. I took out my dagger and cut her finger and watched as she yelled in pain. I sprinkled some of my nightmare sand into her blood and watched as it entered her hand and healed the wound, leaving a black scar. I let go of her hand and she stumbled back. I smiled as she gripped her hand. She looked up at me and glared.

"What did you do to me?"

"I put some of my nightmare sand in your blood. As long as it's there, you can't leave without me holding your hand. Not until you get your powers and you turn to my side, until then, you will stay here." she stumbled back.

"What?"

"Enjoy your stay." and with that, I disappeared into the shadows.


Jade's POV

I collapsed to my knees, and starred at the floor as I realized what he did to me sank in. A tear rolled down my chin and I didn't even bother to wipe it away. It splashed on the floor and I stared at it as where it splashed, something grew in it's spot.

Right there, was a small, red rose blossom. I watched as it grew and the red petals open. I reached up and touched it with my finger and it grew even more. I gasped and removed my finger.

Is this what I am meant to do? I thought. I looked up as someone started to walk in the room. Thinking that it was Pitch, I picked the rose and stuck it in my hoodie pocket, not wanting him to know what I could do. I looked back up and then I gasped at who walked into the room.

It was Jack.


Jack's POV

I ran into the large room and saw someone in a cage.

It was Jade.

She ran to the side of the cage and I ran to her and grabbed her hands.

"Jade, are you ok?"

"No. Jack, look." She reached into her hoodie pocket and pulled out a rose. "My tear made this. Jack, if Pitch finds out that I can do this, he'll turn me into a fearling. I already can't leave here without him. He put his sand into my blood."she held up a finger with a black scar."and I can't leave as long as its there." I stared at her.

"No. No, Jade, that... that can't be."I stared at her and I jumped when I heard a voice

"Ah, Jack, so good to see you." Pitch said. Jade quickly put the rose back in her pocket as Pitch emerged out of the darkness. He walked towards us.

"Pitch, LET HER GO!" I yelled. "You don't want her!"

"Oh, but I do Jack. You see, without her power, I can't rule the world with fear. So I need her. Just like I need you." Jade gasped.

"But, but you said that you would only need me." Pitch laughed.

"Don't you realize, I TRICKED you. Both of you. You both agreed to come to my side, and now, I really WILL be unstoppable." I gasped and turned to Jade.

"You... you didn't. Jade, how could you?"

"I'm sorry Jack. He said that if I didn't join him, you would to protect me. I'm so sorry." she turned away. Pitch reached out a hand and grabbed mine and cut my finger.

"Hey!" I protested. Pain blasted into my wrist and I tried to pull away.

"Pitch! Don't! Please!" Jade yelled. I squirmed in his grip, but he held on tightly. He sprinkled sand on my cut and more pain blasted through my finger.

"JACK!" Jade yelled. Pitch let go of my wrist and I fell to the ground, holding my soar hand. I watched as the cut was replaced with a black scar.

"Now none of you can leave." Pitch confirmed before leaving the room. But before he left, he let a cuff of sand wrap around my ankle and harden, but I was in so much pain, I barely noticed.

I was trapped.
