Chapter 10: The Blind Truth
"So, mom made you, my Berk Babysitter?" Jack smirked at the older man. Pitch rolled his eyes, and continued looking around the teen's apartment. "Babysit. No. I've been given the "wonderful" job of making sure you don't get yourself into any trouble." The man replied looking at Jack's book collection. "Oh! Uncle Kangaroo must be raging right now," Jack chuckled leaning on the wall. "Hmph, Well regardless of the Rabbits discomfort, your mother and father left me in charge of checking up on you."
Jack leaned off the wall arching an eyebrow at him, "And how often are you goanna do that?" Pitch turned from the bookshelf replying, "As often that is needed. It depends on you Frost." Jack nodded at him before rolling his eyes. "Ok well, Since you're here there's something I wanna show you? I knew that other than me and my dad, you would appreciate this little addition to the place." Jack stated going upstairs to his room and to his attic door. Pitch followed the teen unamused by his enthusiasm, but his eyes widened at the sight of the piano.
"My god…" Those were ere the only words Pitch could muster. Jack smirked and laughed lightly as his teacher's reaction. "So I wasn't crazy. It is there!" "A Crown Jewel. Truly a sight to behold." The man stated in awe as he circled the instrument. "And a limited edition as well. Frost do you have any idea what you have in your possession?" Pitch looked at the teen. "A keeper, and teller of many stories? It's slightly out of key and it's been here for some time." The white haired teen replied. "Nothing a bit of tuning won't fix." Pitch quickly replied. "Well aren't you excited?" Jack asked with a smirk.
The black haired man quickly gained his composure and cleared his throat. "I'm rarely surprised by Lunar, but this may be one of his best surprises yet." Pitch smirked and Jack blinked in confusion. "Wait you mean Mr. M? He put this here?" Pitch shook his head, "No Frost he put you here. The piano was more of a gift." The teen kept his confusion expression, "He already found this apartment, and got the moving crew to help, he even got me into the school I wanted. Why giving me a piano? Does he like me that much?" Jack half joked and half questioned. Pitch sat on the piano stool and anaylized the keys and asked, "Jack have you memorized this place from top to bottom?" "Yeah I've been here for almost 5 days," Jack replied. "You can mentally store every corner of this apartment, but you can't mentally store the feelings of home." Pitch was cut short when Jack figured out what he was going to say. "The piano is my symbol of home." He said in realization, and his piano instructor nodded standing up.
"Lunar and I see eye to eye, an old friend and I have decided to put aside our differences, and I tolerate your annoying egg sucking Uncle, because we care about you. That being said Frost this teller of tales is yours. " He now stood and place one hand on the piano facing Jack. Jack was a taking back, by such words. Pianos meant a lot to the man and friends of the Frost family, and to be given such a grand instrument was a big responsibility for the teen.
So it didn't surprise his teacher when Jack began to protest, "What makes you think I'll be able to take care of it? The only thing I ever did was play it. I can't fix it you like you dad and wasn't as deep into the instruments as you two were." Pitch snapped his fingers once and Jack was silent. The man smiled at the teen, proud that he remembered their old silencing exercise. "This instrument is more of a guardian than I am and you will treat it with respect. I've taught you how to do that much. I can think of no other hands to leave this treasure too." Pitch's voice smiled and Jack held in his chuckled and nodded at the man, before they left the room.
As Pitch walked to the exit Jack spoke, "But what about the tune up?" Pitch simply looked at the boy saying, "I have an instrument shop I've opened up in the city. I'll retrieve my tools, and tomorrow while you're at school I will come by and fix it."
Jack nodded, "I'll just leave the key under the mat than." "No need. Your father gave me a spear," Pitch replied in the doorway. "Of course he did," the teen frowned slightly rolling his eyes. Pitch smirked, "Take care Frost, and try not to be a fool." "Sir I'm really starting to think you've got the wrong Idea about me." Jack smirked and Pitch rolled his eyes before leaving down the hall.
The next morning Jack woke with a light weight on his chest. He groan slight blinking his eyes open. He quickly held up his hand stopping the long tongue from sticking to his face. He grabbed the chameleons tongue with his thumb and index finger. He tiredly frowned at the intruder and asked, "How did you get into my house," he let go of his tongue, "again?" Pascal gave what sounded like a gasp for being caught. "I'm never caught twice little guy, but points for trying." He yawned and got out of bed. He ruffed his hair with his hand and rubbed some of the sleep out his eyes, when the sound of his doorbell rang threw his ears.
Feeling Pascal on his shoulder he crack his neck to the right and faced Pascal on his left. He smiled weakly at the chameleon and went downstairs to answer the door. Reaching for the handle he shouted, "Ok. Ok I'm coming." He opened the door to a frantic voice of apologies. "I am SO SORRY! My aunt scared him, he ran out the apartment! I didn't think he'd just slide under the door! I'm so_" Rapunzel stopped her rant at the sight of a shirtless Jack Frost.
"Eep!" She quickly covered her bright red face. "Ow_" Jack winced holding his ears, Pascal did the same with his hands. "I am so sorry! I'm not looking!" The blonde said quickly, and took a quick peek at the well fit teen. "It's ok, I probably should've grabbed a shirt on the way to the door. Hold on." Jack said calmly and left coming back with a hoodie on. "OK, I'm decent," He smiled and Rapunzel removed her hands to see the teen in a gray hoodie. She started again, "I'm_" Jack finished for her. "Sorry. Yes I know and it's ok. I mean I'd freak out to if I opened a door and saw a half-naked guy looking at me." He joked and she covered her mouth to laugh. She looked to see a spot of green on top of Jack's head. "Pascal!" She smiled and the chameleon hopped of his head, into the girl's hands. "Bad chameleon. No going into strangers houses." She said waving her finger at him and Pascal turned a bright pink.
"He got scared by my aunt and ran out. Somehow he found his way on the floor, and chased him." She explained to Jack. He chuckled, "He must get into a lot of trouble. This is the second time he's found his way into my apartment, but I see his side kick cat isn't with him." Jack stated leaning in the doorway. "Oh. Wait, wait what was its name?" She asked, he nodded. "Toothless," he recalled. "So you're the person that found them! J.F? Jack Frost!" She smiled, Jack nodded putting his hands in his pocket. Rapunzel gave a slight bounce, "I knew only Sherlock could find Pascal!" She thought out loud, but turned red at the fact the she said it out loud.
Jack held his chuckles and heard his alarm clock going off. He cleared his throat, "As much as I love solving missing chameleon cases I kinda gotta get dress for school." He shrugged bringing her back to the realizations that is 6:30 in the morning on a school day. "Oh my gosh! Your right! I better get going too!" She stated running down the hall to the elevator. She turned back to him and shouted, softly "Oh! Um… would like to walk to school again? Maybe?" She asked not wanting to be a bother to the boy. "Sure I'll meet you on the elevator." He nodded and she rushed into the elevator. Jack laughed and shook his head before closing the door.
And hour later he was locking his door when he heard the elevator, and rushed to press the button. It stopped just in time and Rapunzel stood there slightly surprised. "How did you do that?" she asked looking at him with an arched eyebrow. "Timing dear Watson," He gave her a grin and she shook her head in disbelief. The wind hit Rapunzel a little softer than usual this morning. She chalked it up to the weather, but Jack purposely shielded her from the wind. He didn't mind it, he liked the feeling in fact, he was so use to the cold that he'd grown accustom to it, more so the summer or spring.
"So what book do you have today?" He asked wondering if she even brought a book this time. "Oh well I'm done with the other one and I was going to get another book at the bookstore, but I'm sure you know what book it is." She smirked at him. "I'm glad to see how much of a fan you are of me Watson!" Jack joked and she didn't even try to hold in her laughter. "Yeah right! I'm more interested in how I deal with insane notions and crazy schemes to solve cases." She arched an eyebrow at him. "Insane? Crazy? Dear Watson all of my brilliantly planned schemes are of particular detail and deduction. Besides they say those who are mistaken of insanity are truly geniuses." He smirked and she crossed her arms shaking her head. She laughed and continued walking, "Whatever you say Sherlock."
As their walk continued Rapunzel asked Jack how many Sherlock stories has he read. "All of them?! Seriously! I've only gotten the first two!" She said having second thoughts about her bookworm status. Jack laughed, "Well there's not much I could do when I was home schooled. So reading was a great pass time for me and my sister," He explained. "Oh you have a sister?" The blonde asked excitingly, and Jack nodded. "Yeah she's a handful sometimes, but I wouldn't want her any other way. She hated being stuck in the house while I studied." His smiled had a hint of sadness, feeling guilty that his training kept Emma locked up.
Rapunzel nodded understanding the emotion, "I know how she must of felt. I was home schooled when I was really young too. My parents were so protective that they never let me leave the house grounds, let alone the house in Corona." "A so you're from Corona? How'd you end up all the way down here in Berk?" Jack asked facing her. "Well after begging my parents to let me go an outdoor school. They sent me to Scotts Dale Academy, it's like a private junior high." She explained and Jack nodded understanding. "I met my best friend there and by the end of the 8th grade she was going to Berk Academy. So we both begged my parents to let me go to Berk Academy. After her mom and my mom talked they agreed I could go as long I had someone to stay with. My friend offered to let me stay with her, but I wanted to see how it felt to live on my own."
The teen's shoulders dropped lightly as she looked down in disappointment. "Unfortunately my parents didn't like the idea and bought my Auntie Gothel an apartment and paid her to stay with me, since she worked in the city." "Why pay? Shouldn't your Aunt want to watch over you out of the goodness in her heart?" Jack asked eyebrows arched. "Ah_ Well my mom and auntie aren't the best of sisters, and she was the only one in the city that they could call. They knew she wouldn't do it willing so they offered money and she jumped at the chance, I guess." Rapunzel replied. "Well she totally gets the worst Aunt ever award," Jack frowned and it made Rapunzel giggle. At the sound his frown turned upside down.
"So how long have you been out of home schooling?" She asked now changing the subject. "Hmm well counting today, and including the days it took to move here and get settled? I'd say about 24 days in counting," Jack shrugged and Rapunzel froze. "What! So you just got out of home schooling? Oh wow!" She exclaimed looking at the boy who chuckled at her reaction. "Yeah, yeah shocker I know. But I willingly stayed home school for so long for a reason. It was more like training then just schooling really," He stated thinking about everything he did in Russia. "What kinda training?" Rapunzel asked skeptical of the word. "Ah well you know the usual. Reading, Writing, Manners, Piano playing, Tai Chi training, oh and one of my uncles taught me how to sword fight." He said remembering all the things he'd learned and practiced over the years. Rapunzel was a speechless to say the least, but she somehow found the words to ask. "What_ would you _ need _ all _ that for?" She was wary of his answer, but very curious. "Oh. Right you probably can't tell, but I'm_" Jack cut off by a shout. "PUNZIE!"
The teens turned to the sound and Rapunzel smiled seeing a curly red headed girl running towards them dragging Hiccup along. "Morning Merida!" She waved happily at the girl. "Mornin!" The girl said with a smile and out of breath. "Hiccup saw ya out of the crowd and we ran to catch ya," The girl smiled as Hiccup was bent over trying to catch his breath. "We? Excuse me, but she ran to catch you and dragged me with her," The brunet corrected. The two girls giggled at their friend and Rapunzel shook her head at the two. "So, you heading to school? A bit early for you isn't?" Merida asked looking at her while Hiccup got himself together. The blonde nodded and smiled weakly, "Yeah well Pascal sorta woke us up kinda early today." "Us?" Merida question and finally looked beside her to see a smiling Jack.
"Yep, my aunt scared Pascal out the apartment and he slid under a door that was a level below mine. Turns out it was his, and we ended up walking to school together again." She explained and Jack nodded silently. "Oh allow me to introduce my friends. Jack this" She pointed to Merida. "Is my best friend Merida, and this," she pointed to Hiccup, "Is my friend Hiccup." She whispered happy, "Their officially dating so don't get any ideas with Merida. No matter how pretty she is." Jack held his laughter. "RAPUNZEL!" The two shouted turning red. Rapunzel laughed and Jack soon fallowed in the fit. "I'm sorry! I like to brag about it!" She laughed, and Jack's laughter slowly came to a stop.
While Merida softly hit Rapunzel, Hiccup decided to meet Jack first. He walked up to the male and held out his hand, "It's nice to meet you. Like Punzie said I'm Hiccup." Jack shook his hand with a strong grip, which shocked the boy. He smiled, "Nice to meet you too. Jack Frost. Not to sound strange, but do you have cat?" Jack asked. Hiccup nodded, "Yeah, a black one. How'd you know? "He asked the white haired male. "You smell like him. While like his shampoo really." Jack stated putting his hand in his pocket." Hiccup frowned in confusion, "What? You've met my cat? I've never met you man." Rapunzel chimed in to explain, "That's right Hiccup! He's the one that found Toothless and Pascal last weekend." She held her head high as the fact that she was right. Hiccup blink a few times and kept his confused expression.
Jack nodded, "I don't know how yet, but they found their way in my attic and we met. Sorry I didn't stick around after dropping them off I had a few things to take care off." The brunet nodded, and the three were interrupted by Merida. "Can we greet while walk? I wanna get to school on time lads." Rapunzel rolled her eyes and started walking. "That's a first," Hiccup snickered fallowing the two beside Jack.
As they walked Hiccup spoke with Jack. "Rapunzel keeps calling up Sherlock, and says you've got serious hearing skills. That true?" He asked with an arched eyebrow. Jack laughed lightly and shrugged, "Yeah I guess you could say that. Ears are kinda like my second eyes." "Oh? That's cool I guess. Thanks for finding Toothless. He can get into a bit of trouble sometimes." The brunet replied a bit confused, but over looked it for the time being. Merida was done scolding Rapunzel and confronted Jack with a skeptical frown. "Merida Donborch," She said walking between the two guys. Jack smiled down at her, "Nice to meet you. Jack Frost."
Merida continued to size him up while they walked and he asked Hiccup how long the three of them were friends. Rapunzel decided to walk with Merida while the males talked. Strangely enough Hiccup found the other teen easy to talk to, though he was still a bit of mystery to him, he found his company comforting. The brunet didn't have many male friends and thought Maybe this guy Could be the first… maybe. They talked throughout the whole walk and even laughed a bit the few similarities they had, Hiccup didn't really feel an "after Rapunzel," vibe from the other male and was really starting to enjoy his company. As they entered the school, Rapunzel began talking with Jack again and Hiccup was dealing with glares from his girlfriend.
The four teens were stopped when Principle Moon said good morning to them. "Oh Good Morning Mr. Moon," Rapunzel smiled, he felt warm from her smile and did so in return. "I'm sorry to intrude on your morning conversing, but you three mind if I took Jack for a moment?" He asked with a smile. "Course' not Mr. Moon," Merida smiled and started walking away with Rapunzel. "See you class Jack," The blonde smiled with a wave. "I guess I'll catch you around too." Hiccup said waving and fallowing the girls, but he stopped and turned walking back to the boy. "Hey if ya don't have anywhere to sit at lunch our table is, ya know open for ya." Hiccup said kinda embarrassed. Jack smiled, "Cool, I'll keep that mind man. Thanks." He nodded and at the Principle and took his leave.
"Well aren't you popular?" Mr. Moon teased. Jack chuckled and grinned sheepishly, "It's just four people Mr. M." "Ah yes, but four people that notice you for who you and not for what you are," He noted. Jack shrugged, "Yeah not yet…" Mr. Moon arched an eyebrow, "You haven't told them?" He asked, Jack shrugged again. "I tried to tell Rapunzel this morning, but her friends showed up and I didn't want to interrupt their good mornings." Princeple Moon nodded understanding the the older man stated pointing at the teen, "Yes, but to be a true friend you must not keep such a serious notice sercret." Jack nodded knowingly, "I know sir, and I will. I just don't see it as serious as everyone else, but I know it's best if they know about it." Mr. Moon nodded at the boy's responsibility and smiled. "I got a call yesterday, from the Boogieman. I'm glad you two like my little gift," Mr. M gave a proud smile. Jack chuckled, "Yeah you certainly made his jaw drop." The school bell rang and students began to rush around them. "Hurry on to class now Jack, don't want you late on your second day," Mr. M shooed him away and Jack complied walking past him. But he stop and glanced back the man, "Thanks for looking out me Mr. M." The round man smiled, "Your welcome Mr. Frost." Jack chuckled before leaving for class.
Jack walked down the crowded halls to his second class he kept a steady pace. But his pace changed slightly. Something was coming, but he was late to react when someone pressed their hand against his chest and crashed his back into a locker.
The contact was loud and made his sensitive ears ring. But the culprit's voice got through the ringing. "So I know your new, and don't know how shit rolls around these halls, but that's why I'm heard to inform you pretty boy." Jack frowned at his voice and scrunched up nose at the smell of his breath. "That it's okay to come to school without brushing your teeth?" Jack asked trying to fight horrid morning breath off, more so then the guy. The guy growled and pulled his fist back punching the locker. The sound made Jack's ears ring again. "Listen white dye! Stay away from Rapunzel or I'll mess you face up so bad you won't be able to smell or see a damn thing!" He growled.
"Rapunzel? Oh I see what this is, ok. I'm assuming you were shot down?" Jack asked bluntly. The teen picked him and smashed him into the locker harder. "You must not have heard me clearly _" "Oh no I heard you just fine! You see I just don't care," Jack growled back which seemed to have taken the guy by surprised. "What's going on here!?" A teacher shouted. The bully dropped Jack and quickly left. Jack landed on his feet and confronted the worried adult.
After her third class Rapunzel made her way happily to lunch. She walked into the slowly filling lunch room to see Merida and Hiccup already seated. But her happy mood went south seeing her two friend's faces. "What's wrong?" She asked a wary look on her face. Her two friends were silent. She gave them a hard look, "Guys. What. Happened?" After another second of silence Merida frowned and spoke, "It's that Frost lad!" "What about Jack?" Rapunzel frown sitting down. Hiccup was scanning the room, but stopped to look at her and rolled his eyes, breaking down to answer weakly. "Seems Dagger properly introduced himself by throwing Jack into a locker, and threatening him to stay away from you." Hiccup explained. "At least that's what the rumors say…" He quickly regretted his words, see her worriedly expression. "It's just rumors Punzie. No proof that any of its true lass!" Merida stated.
"Yeah I'm sure Jack's fine," Hiccup stated continuing to look around the cafeteria for anything out of place. Rapunzel quickly stood, "I have to go see if he alright!" "Wait Blondie!? I'm going with ya_" Merida shouted, but Rapunzel was already out the door. She didn't get far when she ran into someone who caught her, "Whoa where's the fire Watson?" Jack smiled helping her stand. "Jack! Oh my gosh! What are you doing here?" She asked a bit surprised at his presences. "Coming to lunch. Hiccup invited me to sit with you guys this morning so I thought I'd give it shot." He shrugged. "Are you ok? I heard Dagger pushed you into the lockers and_" She was cut off by the boy. "So that's his name. Dagger? Wow, totally fits the way his breath smells." A giggled broke from the blondes lips, but she caught herself. "What? I mean, your ok? He didn't hurt you or scare you?" She asked worried and confused. Jack shook his head, "No, I've taken worse punch from my uncle and the only thing that scared me was his breath," he chuckled and she laughed pushing some hair out of her face.
They stood there in silence for amount and Rapunzel broke the silence. " Glad to see you're alright and I'm sure the others will think so too. Come on," She said walking inside the noisy room. "Lead the way," Jack bowed and fallowed her inside.
The noise hit Jack like a freight train. The different levels of voice and tones and sound had his ears ringing, but he kept his composure walking to the table. Once he sat down Hiccup immediately asked, "You ok man?" Jack took a deep breath and focus on one sound tuning the rest of them out. He found Hiccup's voice and nodded, "Yeah man I'm good. Word must travel fast around here." He said still bringing his over powered senses down. "Yeah, plus Dagger's pretty famous around here, and not for good reasons," He explained Jack nodded. "I could kinda tell by his lovely greeting. Good idea saying no to him Rapunzel." He winked at the girl. No one noted the blonde's soft blush, but Merida.
Rapunzel smiled playing with her hair, "Thanks. I just wish saying no didn't cause you so much trouble, and on your second day at that." Jack shrugged it off, "Eh, it's the curse of pretty girls, but it's cool. I mean if a guy like that is after you I would be looking out more so for then me." Merida frowned at the girl's deepening blush. Hiccup saw her blush this time and felt the heat of his girlfriend's anger, so he decided to change the subject. "So Jack. You brought your own lunch?" Hiccup said seeing the teen pull a container out his bag. Jack nodded, "My mom taught me how to cook and ever since I moved I've been making my own dinner.
This is just leftovers from last night." He said opening the bowl full of lasagna. "So where are ya from?" Merida asked trying to piece this guy together. "I was born and raised in the states till I was 13. Than my family and I moved to Moscow," he replied. Their eyes widened, "As in Russia?" Hiccup asked in shock. "Yeah my family and I lived with my uncles North, and Aster for about 5 years." "Oh wow you lived in Russia?! What made you wanna move all the way down here?" Rapunzel asked her eyes filled with excitement and curiosity. "Same reason as you. To live on my own, plus I few friends of the family here. Mr. M, was big help of this happening." He stated before taking a bit of his food. "As in the Principle? No wonder he addressed you by first name." Merida said understanding this morning's incident.
"Yeah He found the complex for me, helped me get into the school and even move in my place. I'm totally in debt to the guy." Jack laughed weakly ruffling the back of his head.
Rapunzel was about to ask him another question when a girl walked up to their table. She had pale blond hair in two thick pig tails that were in plats. Hiccup waved at the girl knowing her, "What's up Ruff?" He asked looking at her. She shrugged, "I don't know somebody told me that Principle Moon wanted Rapunzel, and sent me to tell'er." "Why you and where's Tuff?" Hiccup asked still confused. She shrugged again, "How the heck should I know!? And he's in a detention for a stink bomb prank we pulled." "How'd you get out?" The brunet asked, "I snuck out duh," She rolled her eyes leaving the table to go to her own.
"Well I'll see you guys at study all, probably a call from my aunt." The blonde sighed and stood leaving. Jack listened to her go, and looked back at the two. "Does her aunt usually call her in the middle of a school day?" Jack asked the two nodded. "Yeah almost every bloody day!" Merida groaned at the annoying old women. "Hmm ok… why doesn't she just text her or call her cell phone when she's out of school?" He asked. "Rapunzel keeps her phone turned off when she's at school, and for some reason her aunt only texts her on weekends." Hiccup explained Jack gave a confused look and Hiccup nodded, "I know we think it's weird too."
After finishing their lunch the bell rang for the end of the lunch period. The three packed up and headed out the large room with everyone else. Walking down the slightly crowded hallway to study hall Rapunzel came running at them. Merida saw the distressed, fearful look on her face and rush to her friend's side. "Punzie what's wrong? What your auntie say?" The red head asked only to see the blonde covering her mouth and shaking her head. Her watery eyes were covered by her flowing hair. "Rapunzel what is it?" Hiccup asked stand next to the two girls, Jack was walking over to comfort the girl as well.
"Rapunzel, please. Tell us what's wrong!" Merida begged holding her trembling friend. "Jack_" She said softly. "Wha?" Merida asked not hearing the girl clearly. "Jack? What about Jack?" Hiccup asked and Merida's head shot up glaring daggers at the white haired boy. "What did you do!?" She growled Jack took a defensive stance. "What? I didn't do anything_" He jumped back when Merida ran at him, and Hiccup grabbed her. "He couldn't have done anything Mer, he was with us the whole time." Merida looked at him, "But Punzie said_" "Jack." Jack looked at the blonde girl as walked over to him.
She hesitated, but reached her hand up to touch his face. She felt him jump slightly at the contact, and he blinked becoming accustomed to her warmth. She looked up into his eyes and saw that they were a beautiful, Caribbean blue fade into a pale, soft cerulean (sky) blue and a missing pupil, she held her breath. "Jack…are you really_"
None of them were prepared for the fist that made swift contact with Jack's face, knock him out of Rapunzel's grip. Rapunzel gasped covering her mouth with bruised hands. "Punzie!" Merida rushed to aid her friend and Hiccup did the same. "Gosh! Pretty boy. Not only are you blind, but you gotta be deaf too." Dagger sighed cracking his knuckles walking up to the boy.
Jack rubbed his check to calm the pain frowning, "No my hearing is just fine. But your might not be. She was asking me question, and you interrupted." Someone shouted fight and seconds later a small crowd surrounded the two. "Oh no," Hiccup side under his breath knowing what was about to happen.
"What did you do to her to make her cry?" Jack frowned at him. Dagger laughed at the sight, "I simply told her the truth. What kind of girls goes for a guy who can't even see!? But rejects me!" He laughed at the thought. "What?" Merida and Hiccup said together, the crowd of student were shocked too. Dagger gave a toothy grin at this reaction, and played off the crowd, knowing the embarrassment would easily break Jack. "OH! You didn't tell them?! Were you not going too? I mean I can understand why, not being able to see is pretty lame, but_"
The muscular teen was silenced, by Jack's lower palm upper cut the bully in his chin. The force lifted the other male off his feet and on his back. Jack's voice was a bit deeper and his eyes a shade darker, "That information was not yours to tell," He glared at the teen across from him. Dagger stood wiping some blood off his now busted lip, he gave another wicked grin and the sight of red. "You don't wanna fight freak," he warned with a smirk. "Your right," Jack put his bag down and kicked it away, he cracked his neck and rolled his shoulders and looked at Dagger.
"So I won't." He motioned with his hand for the male to come at him, and the older male did. Running like a bull Dagger formed a fist and Jack let it hit him. He didn't wince at the pain, but sighed, "Figures." He easily caught the other fist of the opposite hand and lifted it before bending it back in the opposite direction. Dagger winced at the force and growled, "What the hell are you doing?" Jack kept a straight face and replied, "Not fighting." He jabbed the fingertips of his free hand into Dagger's arm pit, making his right arm go lip.
Dagger stepped back in shock at the nonexistent feeling of his right arm. "What the hell did you do!?" He shouted using his one good arm to punch him. Jack raised his arm blocking the hook punch, and jabbing his right hands finger tips into the other armpit. With both hand now limp and useless Jack did a swift sweep kick and Dagger was on his back once again. "You'll have some trouble getting back up without, these" Jack said waving his hands.
He stood over the struggling male, "There are three things I'm going to warn you of never doing again. 1. Don't hit girls. 2. Don't interrupted a conversion. And 3. Stay out of other people's business." He glared and walked away from the poor excuse of a bully and got his bag. He walked over and gentle helped the shocked Rapunzel up and held her close to help her keep her balance. He stopped and turned to back to him, "And if I'm so lame. At this moment… what does that make you?" He questioned and left the crowd in silence, while Dagger squirmed on the floor in a blind rage.
Jack walked quickly and Rapunzel had trouble keeping up, as did Hiccup and Merida. "Hey! Slowdown will ya!" Merida shouted as she and Hiccup caught up with him. Rapunzel looked up at the male as his white hair covered his face. "Jack are you o_" She was cut short when the teen picked her up and carried her bridal style to the nurses office. When Jack walked in the nurse looked surprised to see the two. "She got hurt during an altercation so I brought her here." Jack explained and sat Rapunzel down. "You look worse than her honey," The nurse motioning to Jack leaned against the wall exhausted. "I'm fine ma'am just take care of her first." He said out of breath and leaning his head against wall.
After Rapunzel's hand was bandaged up, and Jack's face was tended to. The four teens were sent to the Principal's office. Each teen told their side of the story and were released. As they walked out Mr. Moon fallowed them. "Jack." He spoke clearly and softly so only his ears would caught it. Jack turned his head to the man and he spoke," Bunnymund would be proud," he said with a smile and Jack couldn't hold his own grin as they walked to study hall with late passes.
In study hall all four teens sat together, in an awkward silence. Hiccup was first the break the ice. "So Jack. Is it true that your, ya know?" Jack was leaning back in his chair rocking back and forth. He stopped and faced the other male, "I can't see you Hiccup, but I'm not blind. Remember when I told my ears were my second eyes?" He smirked. Hiccup chuckled, "Yeah I guess I get why now."
"Good, but do ya think I should've left Dagger Breath some mint? I mean was just_ ugh" Jack shivered and Hiccup laughed. "I'll say this Frost I didn't trust ye at first." Merida stated bringing herself into the conversation. "But a sight like that ya may have got it," she smirked. "Does that mean your my friend now?" He asked. "I'll consider it, but not confirm." She replied and Jack shrugged, "Eh I'll take that."
He looked at the blonde across from him. She's been quite for some time, but he could hear her breathing. "Rapunzel? You mad at me?" He asked worried that he had upset her. "What!? Oh no! I mean you saved me! It's just… you. I mean… I'm sorry." She said softly. Jack placed the chair back on the ground and gave the girl his full attention.
"For what? For being a good friend and treating me like everyone else. For bring me into your group of friends when I'm clearly an outsider?" He shrugged and Rapunzel quickly protested. "But Jack your_" "Sightless?" He questioned. "I may not see like you and everyone else, but I am certainly not blind. I hear. I touch. I taste. These three senses are all the eyesight I need to live an everyday life, like all of you. I didn't care if you found out that I was blind, and I wasn't trying to keep it a secret." He explained, "Than why didn't ya tell us?" Merida asked. Jack shrugged, "To be honest. I forget. I'm so use to just living life I don't see being blind as "being blind". He sighed, "I mean sure sometimes I have to feel around a few things to get my barring, but after that I'm good. My memory is photographic, by touch. My hearing is training to its fullest existent. My sense of smell is spot on and my taste is very sensitive. With these three powers I'm just like everybody else. So please treat me like you have been. Cause I'm not goanna change now that you guys know." He said laying back again. "Agreed?" He asked. "You got me man," Hiccup shrugged. "Ai I suppose you're not all bad," Merida smirked. Rapunzel looked at her friends in awe and stood up leaving her chair. Jack jumped at the contact of her hugging him from behind, but he quickly relaxed in her hold.
Her voice smiled, "I finally snuck up on you Sherlock." Jack smirked and chuckled, flicking her forehead, "There's a first time for everything Watson." "Ah Hey! No hitting girls, remember." She wined holding her head and he pressed his thumb on the burning spot and pain went away. "Hey_ How did you do that?" She asked looked down at the boy who gave his signature smile, "Elementary Dear Rapunzel." She stared at him wide eyed then broke into laughter. Merida sighed placing her cheek in her palm. "She likes him," she sighed. "Yep," Hiccup sighed at the sight. "But not like Rider," Merida noted. "Nope," Hiccup agreed.
