Darkness. That was all Jack saw. Nothing more.

It was foggy, the alleyway seemed to not have an end. Long paths that split here and there leading back into the town. Jack didn't know exactly where to go but he knew what to follow.

Screams were heard here and there. Victims to the nightmares, children crying. Some even yelling for their parents to save them. It was almost like what Elsa described from her childhood in the mental adoption center.

He felt bad for what she dealt with, he was close to feeling things but stopped himself before he got in too deep to the point they'd weaken him. Now wasn't the time to feel weak, not when he knew he was close to his enemy. After a while of walking in what seemed to be nothing, there was a sound of footsteps behind him. In a flash he whipped around with one of his arms reaching for his staff.

He heard the sound fade away, but he didn't flinch from his stance. He just kept his eyes moving from one dark shadow to another, but there was nothing. He loosened his body clearing his thought that it could've been a stray dog running past.

"I wouldn't have done that if I were you" A dark voice said in Jacks ear, causing him to reach for his staff again whipping around to the man now infront of him.

"Pitch" Jack named as he tightened his grip, but never took his eyes off the man who smiled wildly

"That's me, now then why you pointing that stick at me? What did I do" Pitch said sarcastically knowing his reasons

"You, you scared Elsa -"

"Correction, you trapped her life in a wall of ice for how long has it been oh that's right 6 years " Pitch said placing a finger on the staff, gently pushing it down as he gave Jack a look of You're the guilty one

"Better solution than just handing her over to you, who knows what you would've done with her" Jack said narrowing his eyes as he watched Pitch lower his staff.

"Well I'm glad you asked, I would've given her a luxerious cage. Maybe a dish of guilt every day. Oh and that's right, I've heard these are in style" Pitch said in a normal tone while he formed something that was very familiar with some smokey sand of his.

When Jack saw the familiar form he lost his control, shooting 2 shot's of frost at his target.

"So much for being in control don't you think?" Pitch said sarcastically as he reappeared from another shadow behind Jack. With no hesitation, Jack elbowed the dark man in the gut.

"Enough with the sarcasm, I'm here for one thing. That's Elsa's freedom from YOU" Jack claimed as he flew with the wind making his next move. Aiming for the center of the man, Jack held his staff like a pole for billards. Steady, Aim, Hit, and Score.

3 shots traveled the distance to the dark man. One of the 3 hit the target but not where Jack wanted. the other 2 shots hit one of Pitch's obediant NightMares he used as a shield. From close shadows around, dark forms walked out from the shadows.

Every shadow in form of some casual fear, including the mares. One figure different but Jack couldn't recognize it when shady figures jumped at him. A snake was thrown managing to tie itself around his ankles,down on the ground were gorilla forms pulling down the chain of snakes. His only idea was to fly against the gorilla's strength. As he flew up higher, he watched Pitch sit on a bendable chair with dark popcorn.

The view pissed Jack off, instead of fighting him he was just having his shadows fight for him. Out of action Jack shot multiple ice shots all around him shooting most figures around him. His legs were free to move, that he kicked the other shadows throwing themselves at him. From there he again shot multiple shots around him. (Almost like a disco ball shooting the light all around the room).

With most opponents shot down he could concentrate his aim back at his main target. Pitch was already shot multiple times from not being fast enough to dodge jacks disco ice shots. Searching eagerly, Jack couldn't spot the dark man. Before he knew it, he was hit directly causing him to fall from the air straight to the dirty alley way floor.

His body ached from the hit but he still tried to get back up to his feet. Pitch stepped on his back, crashing his body back to the floor knocking the air out of his lungs. A dark cold arm was wrapped around Jacks body making things worse his staff was out of reach when Pitch kicked it away. The only thing Jack could see was the snowflake necklace.

Reaching his arm over like a stepped cockroach he grabbed it and carefully brought it close to him. He grasped it tight thinking he was done for. He was gonna die that instant, strangled by a dark man. Lost in a dark alleyway, with no other chance to see his girl. Before he could loose hope, it came to him.

A average height girl in a white dress fading to blue at the very bottom. She had the most gentle yet fierce eyes, and the whitest platinum wavy hair loose down to her waist line. When he saw who she was, he thought he was dying. He saw a light, and she said something only he could hear. Before he knew it the moment he blinked his eyes, he had somehow gotten the dark man off his back.

He felt stronger than before he looked at his hands. The necklace in one of them, he closed his hands back into fist took a breath in and before he knew it, he got a couple strong hits on the man infront of him. Spitting out dark blood Pitch faded into the shadows to attempt a sneak attack, but he failed when he showed up behind Jack but his fist were frozen the moment his hands made contact with Jacks skin. No injury was left.

Either Jack got colder or the angel he saw helped somehow he didn't even know, nor did he question it. Confused with what happened Pitch attempted his other plan. Mares stampeded around them running in circles non stop. That moment Pitch qued in his familiar formed shadow. It was no surprise to Jacks eyes, but he felt something odd.

His arms trembled alittle but he didn't want to feel weak. Not with the form infront of him. He looked straight into the eyes of his fears, but hesitated to make a move. Infront of him stood a shadow formed as his little sister, but she was older. She looked like someone he had met, his eyes widened and he felt a hit to his heart when he saw the face for himself.

That woman shaped figure was Ginnie. His sister. Realizing he was frozen for so long made everything clearer to him. The whole time he was under frozen water he thought the world was frozen too, to his mistake everyone outside the ice was living life. His sister was little back then, but she grew older. She got married, she became a nurse. She became his guardian for a bit, but it's been 6 years of guardian experience. Meaning 6 years ago, she forgot he ever existed...

A few tears fell from his eyes, every memory he made with Ginnie disappeared. He finally knew why Ginnie cared so much for him when he was first admitted to the mental adoption center. Looking straight into Shadow Ginnie's eyes he saw memories he made with her. Including the one when he saved her from falling into the ice. He was stuck in his stance, and couldn't break eye contact.

It was as if something was forcing him to look into her eyes. The more time he looked into her eyes, the weaker he felt. He swore to himself he wouldn't let his emotions get to him the moment he found Pitch, but he never expected to see something this surprising. Mares took advantage of his weakened state, they rammed their sandy bodies into him knocking his stance over, causing him to nearly fall to the floor.

He had to do something before it'd be too late but he just couldn't do anything. A mare rammed its head into his back causing his knees to hit the floor, his body slumped over, and the necklace fell from his grip landing on the floor. Right when the necklace made a small thump with the floor something happened that saved him. Unexpectedly the moment the necklace hit the floor, frost rushed it's way straight towards the dark Ginnie freezing her completely until the pressure caused the whole form to shatter.

Jack regained control of his body, when he stood back up he heard some kind of voice whisper. It came from the shattered ice infront of him.

"I'll never forget you"

Jack wiped the tears off his face. He was about to do something about the mare stampeding in circles, when he looked down at the frost. Elsa's charm was still in one piece, when he picked it up he mumbled a small thanks then tied the necklace back around his neck. He turned his attention back at the dark mares, which were now headed his way. Reaching his arm up he shot a frost beam at the first mare leading the pack of mares. The moment the beam hit the mare it froze all the mares at such a speed.

His attention was brought back to the search of the dark man hidden from anger trying to rethink his plan. Jack heard a man grunt in anger when he heard the frozen mares shatter like the Shadow Ginnie. His body sensed movement up ahead causing him to make a quick beam shoot from his hand. In good timing, a dark beam of terror was broken down in ice.

He spotted Pitch on the other side of the alleyway standing in the in front middle of a tall building. His arms were stretched out and his fingers moving one after another. His eyes with a hint of red, and his mouth showing his canines. The boogeyman was pissed.

Not a word was spoken when out of nowhere the man started to shoot beams one after another instantly fast. Jack mirrored his actions making his ice hit the shadow beams crashing to the ground, but his ice made it past making some shots at his target. All his training was paying off, if he kept that up there was a chance he'd win this battle.

Each crashing beam sent some forceful aura to swirl around them. It was some trial to see who was the strongest, so far Jack was winning. Pitch was starting to loose balance from the many hits he's taken. As for Jack he was still standing with the few scratches he had. Deciding it was time to end it, Jack jumped up into the air. While he dodged every sharp beam shot at him he worked up getting most of his power to one more direct hit. Swirling his hand around he felt the power flow from his palm to his fingertips.

As result he shot his final throw. It flew in the air grabbing power from the wind dragging it to the target. To weak to even dodge the hit, Pitch threw his final shot before the ice hit his heart leading to a slow yet lonely death. As for Jack, he took a sigh of relief but it was interupted when he felt a sharp hit to his chest. He lost his breath, and fell again to the floor beneath him.

His sight went blurry. The last thing he saw was the light from before except this time she smiled softly as a tear slipped down her cheak following a whisper that again only he could hear.

See you soon

Everything went black. All he was able to hear were muffles of multiple voices and felt much movement. But eventually that was absent too...
