New Chapter!
Sorry this one is quite short, but the next one should be longer :D
Please review + fave :D
I (sadly) don't own Rise of the Guardians.
"Hello again, Jack." Jack opened his eyes to darkness and immediately began to panic, and it was only when he heard the voice that had haunted his dreams that he realized where he was.
"So you figured out who I am then, did you?"
The voice was taunting him, laughing at him almost.
"I'm may not know who you are but I am not scared of you, whoever you are."
"Oh but Jack how can you not be scared of me, I am everything you fear, I was created by all of your deepest, darkest hates and fears, I am you but without any of your 'goodness', do you fear me now?"
As soon as it fell silent again Jack felt fear bubbling in the pit of his stomach and he wished that his staff hadn't been smashed into a thousand pieces.
It was only then that Jack notice that it was slowly getting brighter, the darkness was beginning to retreat away from the light.
A figure was standing in the only area of darkness left, just standing and watching Jack, then as Jack looked in its direction it slowly raised it hand and waved to him.
As Jack watched, it began to run towards him, swiftly covering the long distance with long strides until it was standing before him.
"So we finally meet face-to-face, I am Jax, I was created when you were filled with anger and hate, I was made stronger until after three hundred years I was strong enough to make an appearance in your dreams, with a little help from an friend."
Jack just stared at Jax; it was hard to believe that through all the centuries every time he had cursed the Guardians or had raged to the Man in the Moon he had been creating something that had been slowly growing stronger.
"Yes, Jack you made me strong, your hate fuelled my strength, but you see, there's a problem, I cannot exist without you, not yet anyway, so I need you to just let me be in control for a little while."
Too late Jack heard movement behind him and swung around only to crash into Pitch.
"We'll Jack it's good to see you looking so well." Pitch tightened his grip so that no matter how much Jack struggled he couldn't break free.
"Thanks Pitch, now we just need to keep him away from the Guardians until I can destroy them."
Jack immediately stopped struggling as anger filled him.
"No, you will never be able to destroy them, they have defeated you twice before Pitch they will do it again!"
Pitch's face twisted in hate as Jack spoke however Jax just laughed.
"You're a fool Jack, even now your anger makes me stronger, even as you defend your precious Guardians you are adding to their downfall." Jax's thin body shook with laughter as he imagined the fall of the 'great' Guardians.
Three hundred years of solitude and being trapped inside another's body, completely conscious and aware but unable to affect anything was enough to drive anyone insane, but add that to being created from hate and rage and you have a completely insane creature that needs nothing but hate to survive.
That is what Jax was, tied to another body to survive and filled with never-ending hatred for everything and everyone around him.
"Jax, how are we going to ensure that he doesn't ruin everything?
Although much younger than Pitch it was clearly Jax who was in charge and this puzzled Jack, from what he knew of Pitch he would have thought that he would have refused to acknowledge anyone else, much less let them order him around.
However Jack didn't have long to consider Pitch and Jax's relationship before Jax turned to Jack and smirked, and that one action made Jack more fearful than he had ever been in all of his three hundred years.
"I know exactly how to contain him..."
The hatred in Jax's voice made Jack shiver all over and even Pitch took a few steps back which made Jack think that perhaps the alliance between the two of them was weaker than it looked.
Jax stalked closer to Jack and a wicked grin carved itself onto his face.
"This will hurt!" He warned him before grabbing hold of Jack's shoulders and pulling him close to him.
Before Jack could yell he felt agony spread all across his body, everything began to fade away until all he could hear was Jax's maniacal laughter, and the. Even that faded away and everything went black.
It felt strange, to have Jack contained inside him instead of being the one trapped inside.
Jax had finally grown strong enough to free himself and with Pitch's help had gained enough power from the hatred of children and adults around the globe to trap Jack inside of himself for the first time.
He could feel Jack's consciousness inside of his own; he could feel the power of it.
He loved that feeling. It made him feel strong and after so long being trapped, that was exactly what he needed.
He had been free, only once before during '68' when Jack had become so full of hate that for one glorious day, Jax had been free to wreck havoc and fill the world with hate as he pleased, however Jack had returned after a day although he remembered nothing of that day. But Jax had remembered, and ever since then he had longed to be free again, and now he had his chance.
"That is our problem taken care of now we just need to destroy the Guardians and then hate and fear will conquer 'hope' and 'wonder'." Jax looked at his companion and was pleased by the look of fear that crossed momentarily across Pitch's face before being wiped clean.
"Time to go visit Jacks' friends in the North Pole, I'm looking forward to meeting them properly for the first time."
