Allright guys here is your second chapter ;) Thanks again for the challenge acceptance. I might do it again in the future :) Anyway a word of warning this chapter contains things that completely come from my own idea and story. It works…but just a heads up ;) Enjoy
(In Burgess)
"Why does Jack want me to come to the Warren?" Jamie asked as he followed Cazador and the strange man that they had joined when he had left his house.
"I'm not sure," the man spoke with annoyance, "He didn't say."
"Cazador do you know?" he watched as the boy only shrugged, he then watched as his face rippled slightly
The man noticed too, he sighed "Guess times up."
Jamie was surprised as the man suddenly turned and grabbed him, holding him tightly with one arm to his chest.
"Hel..." Jamie's cry was cut off as the man placed a massive hand over his mouth
"Look kid, we aren't going to hurt you. We're just after Jack." the man spoke softly, "As soon as we have him you can go home."
"We?" the boy's question was answered as two more joined them.
"A child, Pain?" Sorrow's voice held a note of anger
"It cannot be helped Sorrow, the dog failed to mention it was a child he was after." he glared at Muertes
Muertes grinned, "We use to find boy." he held up a round object
Jamie's eyes widened at the sight of the snowball Jack had given him. He struggled in Pain's grip
"Let's go to the lake." Pain was unaffected by the boy's attempts to free himself.
(Tooth Palace)
"Jack Frost."
The boy woke with a start as a voice filled his head, "What the…"
"I believe I have someone you would like to speak with." the voice continued
Jack's eyes widened in realization that someone was using the gift he had given to Jamie
"Jack don't listen to them!" Jamie's voice was panicked as it faded suddenly
"Now, now child I just said to say hi. Children, never listen." the voice continued, "If you don't want anything to happen to him you will come to the lake outside Burgess." the voice paused, "And do come alone."
"Jamie!" the winter spirit cried as he felt the link be broken. He glanced over at the still sleeping Pitch. Carefully he pulled the covers back and landed silently to the floor, he grabbed his staff and jumped to the balconies ledge. The morning sun was rising just over the mountains; he looked back at Pitch, "I can't let anything happen to Jamie, I'm sorry." he then jumped from the balcony, quietly calling the wind to take him to Burgess.
The wind happily aided the boy as it carried him through the clouds, unaware of his intentions.
(Death's Chambers)
"My Queen, I must inform you that Muertes has taken a human child to lure Jack Frost to him."
Death looked at the shadow messenger in surprise, "A human child…from where?"
"Burgess I believe your Majesty."
"Burgess!" a cruel smile came to her face, "So, it has happened already." she turned to the shadow, "Inform Muertes that I want both the boy and Frost." she paused for a moment, "And Pitch as well." her voice was full of cruel delight
"As you wish." the shadow quickly faded down the corridor
"Tell me, how much longer till the new moon?" she asked quickly, her gaze falling on the shadows.
One peeled from the wall, "The new moon will occur in three days my Queen."
Death smiled, "Then the world has three days till Death walks its surface." the shadows cringed as her laughter filled the room.
(On the Wind)
Jack allowed himself to drift in thought as the wind took him; he knew that he was doing exactly what Pitch had warned him about. He closed his eyes and sighed, "Moon they are going to be angry when they find out." He knew that Death was going to claim him, but he would rather die than see Jamie hurt. Besides, he had lived a full life, "It's not like it will affect the whole world."
The wind faltered slightly as they neared Burgess, it could sense danger.
"The lake, wind." the winter spirit encouraged as he felt the wind start to slacken, he cried out as it dropped him suddenly. He landed with a thud atop a rooftop. He glared at the swirling wind; "Thanks a lot." he jumped from the roof and continued toward the lake.
The wind desperately brushed against him, trying to get him to stop.
"Look, I have to do this. Jamie is in danger and I promised him I would keep him safe." Jack swatted at the invisible annoyance
Wind swirled around him, and then made a decision.
Jack watched as it raced toward the direction of the Tooth Palace, "Better get this over with before they try and stop me."
(Tooth Palace)
Golden eyes blinked open as the rays of the suns cascaded from the balcony and illuminated the room. He stretched as he turned to see if the winter spirit was up yet, he rose quickly when he noticed the boy was not in his bed. His brows furrowed as he noticed the staff was also gone, "I didn't hear him leave." Pitch quickly made his way through the Palace trying to find the others. He suddenly heard voices and hurried toward them, he walked into an elegant dining room
"Ah Pitch, you are awake!" North said excited when he caught sight of him
"Hope Jack didn't keep you awake last night." Bunnymund smirked
"That's actually why I'm here; he was gone when I got up."
The other Guardians immediately gave him their attention
"What do you mean, gone?" Bunny asked as he pushed his chair back
Pitch was interrupted by Cazador rushing into the room
"No can smell boy with stick in rainbow bird's home." the boy was panicked
"You don't think Muertes found a way here do you?" Tooth gasped
"No smell scent of brother, scent of boy seem to have gone with wind."
Pitch slapped his hand to his face, "Damn child, he used the wind to escape."
"You were supposed to bloody watch him!"
Pitch glared, "I'll have you know that I have been watching him!"
"Boys please." Tooth stepped between them before they could come to blows, "You are both worried about Jack. We need to find out where he went and why."
The wind suddenly burst into the room through the open window, swirling franticly around Pitch and the other Guardians.
"What does the wind want?" Bunny asked as the breeze rustled through his fur
"I don't know Rabbit, I don't speak wind." the Nightmare Kings voice sarcastic and frustrated
Cazador interrupted Bunny before the pooka could reply, "Cazador smell boy on wind," he inhaled deeply, "Also smell town where small boy live."
"He went to see Jamie?" North asked relieved
"I'll go get him." Pitch turned to leave but stopped as a bright rainbow burst in through the window.
"Boy, you would not believe the things I had to go through to get wood from an enchanted forest. Sheesh, I never thought I'd get enough fire extinguishers for the wood nymphs." he looked around, "Where's Jack?"
"Escaped to go play with his friend." Pitch looked at him, "You want to come?"
Patrick laughed at his tone, "Sure, if only to keep you from throttling him."
"My thoughts exactly." Pitch said as he grabbed the offered globe from North. He and Patrick quickly walked through the swirling light.
(Burgess)
"I'm just saying Pitch, he's a child. Cut him some slack." Patrick said as he and Pitch walked the streets to Jamie's house
Pitch sighed as another person walked through him, "I know Patrick, but if Death gets her hands on him…"
"Well did you tell him about her plan?"
"No, we thought it best that he didn't know the whole thing. All he knows is that Death wants him and nothing else."
"That's your mistake; he has no idea why he's being held under such surveillance. You guys should have told him the whole truth."
Pitch nodded, "I know that now, and soon as I see him I will." he frowned suddenly at the feeling of dread that filled him as they approached Jamie's house, "Something's happened." he rushed forward
"Jamie! Where are you!" a woman was standing on the porch calling desperately.
"Is that Jamie's mother?" Patrick asked as they stood in front of her
Golden eyes narrowed, he had heard her voice before. He glanced at her coppery brown hair, her tear rimmed sapphire eyes. He was surprised when she looked at him, her eyes widening. He quickly ran to the side of the house, his heart beating fast in his chest. She had seen him he was sure of it, but how?
"What's up Pitch?" Patrick asked at the expression on his friend's face
"I think she…I think she could see me Patrick."
"Impossible Pitch, adults can't see us unless they believe. And most of them don't."
Pitch shook his head; "You're right, I was probably imagining it." he then jumped to Jamie's window and quietly faded through the glass.
Patrick followed, "Doesn't look like Jack even came here." he glanced at the room that was clean.
Pitch was about to reply when there was a gasp from the door; he turned and froze at the blue eyes staring at him.
"Pritchard?" her voice quivered slightly
Pitch stared at the woman, his heart almost stopping. He stared into her eyes, eyes that he had not seen since they had closed forever that night after the sickness had claimed her. His voice trembled, "Mother?"
The woman ran and embraced him, as if he would slip out of her arms, "You have changed so." she cried hot tears into his robe. "I have searched for you for centuries. Your father told me told me what happened while you were being chosen."
"I don't understand." his head swam with confusion, "How are you still alive?"
"He never told you?" she glanced out the window at the waning moon. She smiled at him, "I am Moon's wife, and you are his son."
The room echoed with the sound of Pitch collapsing to the floor
Please review and let me know what you think. I warned you it would get a bit crazy, I promise all will be revealed in the upcoming chapters ;) But yeah, let me know what you think and if you would like a Pitch and Patrick spin off. Your comments are very helpful and looked forward to. Thank you.
