Jack remembered what was going to happen soon, and his already pale skin turned almost transparent.

Bunny noticed this and looked at him worriedly. "Hey Frostbite, are you ok?"

Jack swallowed and took a deep breath. "Yea but I have to warn you guys…"

North's brows fused. "About what, Jack?"

Jack debated telling them now but figured they were going to see it anyway. "You'll see…just know I'm fine."

The others wanted to question him but he wouldn't answer them. They wanted to ready themselves for what might happen, but with Jack it could be anything. The next memory came and they sat back to watch.

Jack was rushing around his room. He was shirtless, show his lean upper body. There was hidden muscle on him that you wouldn't see in less he was like this. He had a few small scars that were from living it the woods but they were nothing major.

"Jack?" Elizabeth's voice comes from the other side of the door.

Jack found a shirt and grinned as he slipped it on. "Come in!"

Elizabeth came in and looked at the mess he had made. "Ugh, Jack! Didn't I tell you not to make a mess in your room?"

Jack shrugged. "Sorry mom but I need to find a clean shirt. All my others were covered in dirt from work."

Elizabeth huffed. "Well don't blame it on me, mister; you're supposed to get your clothes to the wash room. Not my fault you just throw them on the ground."

Jack just shrugged again. He turned to her and did a little mock spin. "Do I look ok?"

She smiled. "You look fine. This doesn't have to do with you hanging out with Lindsay all day, does it?"

Jack nodded. "Yea. Since I have no work today and there is no school we were going to walk around town."

Elizabeth's smile widened. "So like a date?"

Jack looked at her confused. "What's a date?"

Elizabeth looked shocked. "You don't know what a date is?"

Jack blushed in embarrassment. "Well I've lived by my self for most of my life. I didn't really have anyone to tell me, Ma and Felix never brought it up before…"

Jack looked away but Elizabeth saw the flicker of guilt and sadness. She hugged Jack gently and kissed his head. "It's already Jack."

Jack nodded and shot her a smile. "So what's a date?"

Elizabeth looked amused. "It's when a boy and girl that like each other go out somewhere together."

Jack blushed. "It's not like that."

"She's coming from the other side of town to see you."

"Yea…"

"You're going to hang out around town."

"Yea…"

"Just the two of you-"

"Mom!"

Jack was bright red with embarrassment, giving his mom a dirty look. For Jack's sake Elizabeth was holding in her laughter, but little giggles would slip through the fingers covering her mouth.

"Well she'll be here soon so hurry up." Elizabeth says as she ruffles his hair and walks out.

Jack scowled and fixed his hair. He stood up and began pacing the room. "It's not a date…right? I mean sure Lindsay is smart, talented, and her eyes are so beautiful-"

Jack turned red again. "I couldn't like Lindsay, right? I mean she might not even like me back! Plus what do you do when you like a girl?"

Jack had never really acknowledged the feeling before, but he sometimes felt isolated. His real parents abandoned him, he lost Felix and Ma, and he use to sometimes get odd looks from people when he first decided to stay. It made him feel out of place around people sometimes. He always shook it off though. After all he had enough happiness to not just sit around feeling bad for him self.

He grinned when he heard Elizabeth telling him Lindsay was here from the kitchen. He pushed his feelings and thoughts aside, he could worry about that later.

"Coming!" He shouts as he runs out of the room.

(Why can't we be Line Breaks? Why can't we be Line Breaks? Why can't we be Line Breaks?)

The adults of Burgess, the name of their town, had a meeting today. They were going to talk about life stock, trade, and all of that. Meaning the kids of the town, roughly 2 dozen in all, were left to their own means.

It was getting late and the meeting was over, but Jack had had other ideas. While the adults were busy he had took some stuff, with the help of Will and James, from the school and was telling the kids ghost stories. Because Jack had to come up with cover stories when he lived in the woods he was good at coming up with stories on the spot.

He was spinning a tale of a young boy with a magic reindeer that were trying to save a princess from an evil sorcerer. For some reason he had made the child sound like him self and the sorcerer like Pitch. He hadn't thought about the Bogeyman for a while but something had been tugging at the back of his mind. It sent occasional shivers down his spine and goose-bumps on his arms. Still though, he had promised to finish the stories for the kids and he kept his promises.

"And so young Arthur and Lulu the reindeer, snuck into the evil Sorcerer Dark's castle. Chandlers hung from the ceiling and flickered with green light. The doors creaked when they opened them." Jack continues his tale.

Some of the younger kids were look listening to him in awe, others where holding each other out of fear. The older kids, there were only 7 not counting; Jack, James, Will and Lindsay, were only half listening while plotting to scare the younger kids. Sarah, Edith and Edmund were sitting on barrels on either side of the make-shaft stage, watching eagerly.

"Suddenly Arthur and Lulu were separated and Sorcerer Dark was staring down at Arthur with his yellow cat like eyes.

'I don't fear you!' Arthur says to the Sorcerer.

'Maybe but I'll soon turn you into a toad and take the Princess for my self!' The Sorcerer growls at him, raising his wand."

The little kids huddled closer together. "Watch out!" One of the girls cry. The adults stood in the back watching with amusement.

Jack grinned and ran behind the 'curtain'. "Suddenly…'

He jumped back out with antlers on his head, making some of the kids jump in surprise. 'Lulu came from behind Sorcerer Dark and poked him in the butt with her antlers! Dark's spell shot a mirror that bounced it back at him and turned him into a big ugly toad!"

Jack pranced around with the antlers, making the kids laugh.

Sarah giggled. "You're so funny, Jack!"

Jack moved the antlers from his head and gave the crowd a mock bow. "The End!"

The kids cheered and the adults clapped. One little kid called above the cheers. "Jack! Can you tell us another story?"

Jack looked over to the adults before giving the kids apologetic. "Sorry kids, that's all for tonight. Now go home, eat you dinner, and get into bed without causing problems for your parents and maybe I can do another story tomorrow. That sounds good?"

The kids cheered and ran over to there respective parents. The adults sent Jack grateful looks and started walking home.

"See ya tomorrow, Jack!" Will says cheerfully walking off with his mom.

"Night!" Jack calls behind him. Jack and James shared a wave as he left. Soon it was just Jack, Sarah and Lindsay.

"Hey if you don't mind, I could walk you home after I put the stuff back in the school." Jack offers Lindsay, blushing slightly.

"No it's ok. After all I'm on the other side of town, wouldn't want you to be late home.' She moved closer and her hand brushed his. 'Thanks for the offer though, Jack. Good night."

His blush heated up a bit more and he hoped she didn't notice. "Good night, Lindsay."

Lindsay picked up her lantern and walked towards her house.

Jack and Sarah picked up the few things they needed to return and went to the school. They laughed and talked the whole way and final made their route back home. Jack was holding the lantern in one hand and Sarah's hand with the other.

"So what story will you tell tomorrow Jack?" Sarah asks excitedly.

Jack shrugged. "Not sure, I just make them up as I go along."

Sarah giggled. "Well they're really good! You should be like a writer or something; you would get a lot of money too!"

Jack laughed. "Maybe!"

As they walked Jack had the feeling they were being watched. Turning sharply to the left he stared intensely at the darkness and trees beyond the glow of his lantern. Nothing stood out, making Sarah look at her brother in confusion.

"What are you looking at, Jack?"

Jack frowned slightly before turning back to her and smiling reassuringly. "Nothing, just had a thought but forgot it. Come on, mom might be wondering where we are."

With that they continued on.

Pitch Black strolled out of the shadows of the trees. His eyes glowed in the dark as he stared after Jack. "We'll see if you have sweet dreams, Jack. Soon you'll be mine."

He chuckled darkly and disappeared back into the shadows.

(Break stories like a Line Break! Break stories like a Line Break!Like a Line Break on a story!)

After tucking Sarah in Jack goes back to his room. He changed into his night shirt and laid down on the bed.

Just as he was closing his eyes he says a shadow over him and a flash of yellow eyes.

Jack gasped as he found him self back in front of his first home. Everything was exactly like he remembered it.

"Jack! Jack, honey!" His first mother calls from in the house.

Jack was about to turn when she came out of the door. Jack froze when he say her smiling happily at him.

"There you are! You're father and I have been looking everywhere for you!" His mother scolds playfully, put her hands on her hips.

Jack couldn't speak, a huge lump was making it hard to breath let alone talk.

"There you are." His father laughs as he walks up beside his mother.

Jack looked back and forth between them. The deep longing for his blood parents came back full force, making his eyes misty. He couldn't hold it back anymore, even if they shoved him off. He rushed forward and threw his arms around both, holding them as tightly as he could.

They hugged him back and he sobbed softly.

Suddenly his mom leaned down to his ear, her lips almost touching them. "Oh Jack….If only someone loved you."

He pulled away and gasped in fear. Their eyes were a familiar yellow, sharp teeth poked out of their mouths and claws looked like knives.

"You're a rat, Jack,' His mother hisses at him. 'No one loves you. We didn't and the others only took you in out of pity. You were the little lost boy who loved in the woods. I bet they will get rid of you sooner or later."

"You're lazy, stupid and childish, Jack.' His father scolds. 'You need to learn to grow up. Not that you would, you're too stupid. I'm glad we got rid of you, we're happy without you Jack.

Jack hiccupped a sob as he back pedaled from the two. Pain and fear shined in his sepia eyes. "Th-That's not true! Felix and Ma loved me! Sarah and Mom do too!"

His mother scoffed. "How can one boy be so dumb? Please, child they didn't love you! In face I think they lighted the house on fire so they would have to deal with you anymore. And that little girl and woman you're living with? They'll leave you soon enough, you'll see."

"It's you're fault their dead anyway.' His fathers sighs in almost pity. 'If you hadn't let them talk you into staying with them maybe they would be alive. And who knows what will happen to the newer two? Sickness, animals? You can't protect them Jack, you're just one weak little boy."

Jack shook his head and covered his ears, praying they would shut up. "Stop it! Stop it!"

Jack looked up just as the two lunged at him, teeth and clews first.

He shielded him self. When he noticed the absence of the claws and teeth and found it seemed hotter them before he looked up.

He was in front of Felix and Ma's house now, flames quickly consuming it. Felix and Ma came walking out, fire burning off their skin and some bone could already be seen.

Jack resisted the urge to gag, both at the sight and smell.

"You killed us Jack.' Felix says accusingly. 'You left us and we died! It's all your fault! It's all your fault!"

Ma joined in the chant and soon they were screaming it at him.

"IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT! IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT!"

Jack screamed in fear when they began walking closer, the flames that burned their skin reaching for Jack. He fell backwards, hitting his head on the ground and blurring his vision.

When his vision came back he realized he was back in the clearing his first parents had left him in. He jumped to his feet and looked around for either his first parents or Felix and Ma.

"Hooowwwwwwwwwwwwww!" A wolf's call echoes through the forest.

Jack froze when he noticed a wolf a few feet from him, growling threateningly at him. He backed away slowly till he saw another behind him. He wipped his head back and forth to see he was surrounded by a pack of dark gray almost black wolfs.

They were at a standstill for a moment before the wolfs lunged forward.

They didn't bite him but they ran their claws over every inch of him they could reach.

Jack howled in pain and tried to curl into a ball, hoping this would all end.

"That's enough.' A silky voice says firmly. 'Don't want him dieing before I get my use of him."

Jack moaned softly, every cut felt like it was on fire and oozed blood. "Pitch."

"I'm sorry, Jack,' Pitch says wistfully. 'I'm afraid for what I want from you it will have to deal with some pain."

Jack panted slightly. "What do you want from me?"

Pitch leaned down and held Jack chin in his hand, rubbing some blood from his cheek. "To help me bring about the next Dark Age, as my Fearling Prince."

"What?!" The Guardians cry in shock.

Jack shivered slight as he remembered the phantom feeling of the nightmare sand crawling through him. Tooth rushed over to him, looking him over.

"Are you ok? How are you alive?!" She asks worriedly.

Jack smiled at her reassuringly. "I'm fine, Tooth, just watch."

She looked like she wanted to argue but Sandy pulled her away.

Jack winces as he tries to pull away. "I won't help you with anything."

Pitch frowned. "You don't have a chose, Jack."

Before Jack could say anything Pitch gathered a ball of nightmare sand and pushed it against his wounds.

Jack withered and cried out as the sand crawled into him. His skin was slowly draining of color and if you looked closely his hair seemed to be turning darker, His eyes shot open as he gasped for breath. His eyes that use to be a rich brown color were getting a gold-er hue.

Suddenly a full moon seemed to appear, shining down on the two. Pitch looked up and sneered hatefully at it.

"Be gone, Tsar!" He shouts over Jack's cries.

The moon's beams seem to focus on Jack. "Do not give up hope, Jack. I will help you."

Jack whimpered but fought against the sand taking him over.

"No!' Pitch hisses. 'He will be mine!"

He gathered as mach nightmare sand as he could and used it to cover Jack in a nightmare sand cocoon.

Everything was silent for a moment till a light burst from the cocoon, breaking it.

"NO!" Pitch cries, flying backward from the force.

Jack was laying on his side, panting harshly. His eyes fluttered and he fell back on his back and passed out.

Pitch growled at the moon. "Curse you! I will be back for him! You'll see, he'll be mine and we will destroy you and your little Guardians!"

Pitch and the moon disappeared from Jack dreamscape just as it too disappeared, Jack falling into a dreamless sleep.

"Sleep well, Jack." A voice faintly says.

Ugh can't tell if I liked this chapter or not. :/ Hope you liked! :D R&R plz! Ta.
