This chapter didn't want to be written. -_-" I'm sorry this chapter is so horribly short! D: Well, Enjoy Chapter 11!
Jack sat on his bed looking out the window. The sun was out and shining on his cheeks. His sepia eyes showed deep thought and his hands played with his shirt.
"Was it the moon that saved me? How though, and why does Pitch want me? How are I going to keep him from turning me into…whatever it was he had been turning me into?!" Jack sighed in frustration and ran his hands though his hair.
Jack looked over to a shadow in the corner of the room and shivered. He rubbed his stomach, feeling the phantom pains of the claws cutting into him and sand going in.
He jumped when there was a knock on his door.
"Jack?' Lindsay's voice comes from the other side. 'Can I come in?"
Jack was quiet for a moment before nodding. He realized that was stupid since she couldn't see it. "Come in."
Lindsay walked in with a concerned look. She sat next to him on the bed. "Are you ok, Jack? Your mom said you haven't come out of your room in two days. Did something happen?"
Jack's eyes flickered over to the shadowed corner again. "No, just haven't been feeling that well."
Lindsay looked at the corner as well before sighing. "Well I'm sure going out for a bit will help. Come on you're hanging out with me today."
She grabbed Jack's arm and pulled him off the bed. Jack stumbled as he tried to get him footing. He tried to object but Lindsay had already pulled him out of the room and towards the front door.
"We're going out, Mrs. Overlander." Lindsay tells Elizabeth.
Elizabeth smiled at the two. "Have fun, be careful!"
Sarah giggled at the bright blush on Jack's face. "Bye Jack! Bye Lindsay, have fun together!"
Jack blushed even brighter as the door closed behind him.
(You think the Line Breaks are your ally? I was raised in the Line Breaks! You were merely adopted by the Line Breaks.)
Jack and Lindsay played in the forest, running around and throwing leaves. They went back into town and Jack bought them some cakes to share.
It was midday so they ate lunch together.
Jack had some grapes that he was eating; he slipped one in his mouth before looking at Lindsay.
Her long black hair was braided and in a bun. A few stray hairs stuck out from all their playing, sticking to her skin. Her hazel blue eyes shined beautifully as she stared out into the forest. Her lips were a light pink and Jack couldn't help but wonder if they were as soft as they looked.
Jack blushed a bright blue as Bunny rolled around laughing.
"You have it bad, Frostbite!" The Pooka snorts.
"Shut up, Kangaroo!" Jack growls.
"Awww that's so adorable!' Tooth coos. 'You two would be so cute together!"
"Not you too, Tooth!" Jack groans, covering his face with his hood and hands.
"Being in love is nothing to be ashamed of, Jack." North says comfortingly, patting the smaller spirit's shoulder a little too hard.
Jack winced and rubbed the hurt limb. Jack looked to Sandy for help but he just shrugged and giggled quietly.
"Traitor." Jack mutters, pouting. "Can we please just get back to watching already?!"
"Fine, fine.' North sooths as Bunny finally ends his laughing fit. 'Back to watching."
"Thank you." Jack mutters sourly.
After a while longer of hanging out it was soon time to go.
Both stood up getting ready to go home.
"Jack?" Lindsay says softly.
Jack turned to her and noticed the soft blush on her cheeks. "You ok?"
She moved closer and kissed him on the cheek. "Good night."
She turned and ran off in the direction, leaving Jack frozen in shock.
Jack looked at where she had disappeared in shock before it turned to a goofy smile.
His arms went limp at his sides and he sighed dreamily. He grabbed his lantern in a loose grip and began his walk home.
A few feet away in the shadows of the trees, Pitch's eyes narrowed in disgust. He looked up to the moon and sneered.
"You can't protect him forever, Tsar. I'll get him from you…one way or another." And with that he disappeared into the night.
So short. _" Anyway, hope you liked! R&R plz! Ta.
