By the way you guys…I AM SO EPICALLY SORRY FOR THE LACK OF UPDATES! X( Try not to hate me!

Hal hadn't asked for much in life. He didn't see it like that anyway. Before becoming what he was Hal had a normal life just like the guardians. And while they were perfectly happy to be thrust into new lives Hal had not. Hell! Even Pitch was happier than him! Hal erased that thought from his mind when another scream was heard from behind the wall. Scratch that. He didn't sound too happy right now.

Hal chuckled at the thought of his prisoner and folded his hands, resting them on his knee. He didn't really need to keep him locked in there but it was fun to hear those screams. While Pitch had been a mere annoyance to the guardians Hal was a menace.

The Halloween figure wasn't a to blame though. He'd been taken from his rather happy, for him anyway, life and been given this crappy job. Who the hell did the man in the moon think he was?

One of the tiny goblins bounded on a fours into the room. Hal, who'd been reclining in his massive throne of a chair, straightened to hear the news the goblin brought. "Yes?" he purred. "Speak!" he barked when the timid creature hesitated to give it's report.

The goblin fiddled his hands nervously. "M-master…J-jack Frost is coming to find you. H-he's sworn revenge against you on behalf of Cupid and the boy's sister." the goblin lowered his head in respect. Secretly he was hoping for some sort of reward for sneaking into the guardian's mind.

Hal grinned devilishly and with a snap of his fingers the goblin's small body was engulfed in flames. "Excellent."

"I can't tell Jamie." Jack thought, unaware of the dark creatures that had invaded his mind's privacy.

Since he knew who was responsible for Jamie's death and Sophie's crash it made perfect sense to avenge them. Didn't it? Of course the brunette would argue with him. "That's what he wants Jack!" he could imagine Jamie's exact words and smiled for a moment.

Jack was at his spot by the window. They were still at North's workshop of course. At the moment it seemed stupid to go anywhere else after all. Not to mention North was still trying to drill Cupid information into Jamie's head.

Jamie wasn't too thrilled to listen to the man's lectures but after being whacked upside the head multiple times and told gruffly to "pay attention now!" he seemed much more willing to learn. It was a miracle he got any sleep.

Jack noticed the new Cupid yawning as he came near the icy guardian's little hide out. "Tired?" he asked with a smile. Jamie nodded and didn't resist when Jack pulled him into his lap.

Jamie laid his head on Jack's shoulder and sighed. "You're lucky." he muttered. His brain was a bit foggy from lack of sleep.

"And why is that?" Jack asked, his smile morphing into a smirk.

"You didn't have to learn about powers, history, and stuff when you died. Oh no! The great Jack Frost got a free pass in that area!" Jamie was practically rambling now Jack could tell. He chuckled and hugged him closer, being careful not to squash the boy's fluffy white wings.

"True but, I had to learn the hard way. Not to mention I didn't have anyone to talk to and learn from for years." he pointed out bluntly.

Jamie looked up at him with eyes that were barely open. After a few moments he stuck with a simple "Touché." and fell asleep in Jack's arms. The winter spirit laughed and carried him to their temporary bedroom.

When Jamie was safely tucked under the blankets Jack decided to do something he'd never done before. He was going to willingly talk to the Easter Bunny.

"So tell me. Why on earth you would want up know more about Hal if you didn't have some stupid scheme up your sleeve?" Bunny demanded, barely looking up from yet another egg he was decorating.

Jack rolled his eyes. "First of all, I don't have a scheme yet so don't worry."

Bunny gave him a curious look and set down the egg and paint brush for a moment. "Alright, whadya wanna to know?" He took a seat on the edge of the desk beside North's globe.

Jack gave himself a mental high five and began with, "Who is he?"

Bunnymund had to think on how to answer this. After all who was Hal? The rabbit rubbed his chin with a paw for a moment of thought before answering. "Hal is the spirit of Halloween. You've probably got that by now." Jack nodded in response, urging him to go on. Bunny took a deep breath. "Well, I'll go ahead and say this he's a selfish pig. A sadistic pig." he paused to grumble about something before continuing. "Doesn't like people at all. He's not really useful at all. Halloween doesn't even need a spirit. The man in the moon made him who he is as punishment for how he behaved in his past life. Selfish and greedy to the rotten core." Bunny shook his head in disdain. "I don't know where he is now or what he's planning so I can't really help you but I will say this." Jack raised an eyebrow at the serious look he was now being given. "Don't try to fight him. He's not worth it and you'll just be playing right into his game."

Jack didn't hesitate for his reply. "I don't want to fight him. I want to end him."

A/N: I am so so so sorry for not updating sooner. I kinda got sidetracked by my fictionpress stories soooo…yeah…but I'm back now and I promise not to abandon this story!

And hey guess what? :D We're actually getting into the plot now! Yay! And now you know who Hal's prisoner is. He deserved it

-_- And sorry this is shorter than my usual ones. I had to end it there or the next chapter wouldn't really make sense with how I plan to start it.

Anywho, please review and tell me what you think! :)

P.S. I HATE AUTOCORRECT! XP
