"Why me?" I muttered.

"Patty?"

I turned around and saw Jack. He sat down next to me and draped his arm around my shoulder.

"No matter how much you want us to stay away, I'm not leaving you."

I looked into his sparkling eyes. "Jack…"

He put a finger on my lips and sighed. "Patty, how come you remembered all your memories without getting your baby teeth? No one else had their memories before."

I shrugged. "I don't know. I've always remembered my memories."

Then a harsh whisper said in my head, "You need your memories so you can remember the darkness, the cold loneliness. If you are afraid, I can take over!"

I shook my head and Jack looked concerned. "Patty?"

I pushed him away. "Get away from me! As long as I'm here, you're in danger!"

I turned away but ran right into Pitch. I heard Jack growl behind me. Pitch dug his long nails into my arms.

"So you got my message?"

I swallowed. "You can't have me!"

Jack hissed, "Let her go Pitch!"

Pitch just chuckled and suddenly I was surrounded by darkness. I screamed and heard Jack call my name. Pitch just stared into my eyes.

"Be afraid, Patty! Be afraid!"

I screamed louder as the darkness engulfed me. Pitch just laughed. I saw all my nightmares come true. I saw Jack drowning, I saw my mother dying, and most of all, I saw myself, collapsing on the ice, my whole life collapsing.

I fell to the ground, changed. Pitch bent down next to me, his black eyes shining. He smirked and his sharp teeth gleamed. I took a deep breath. I looked at Pitch and wasn't afraid. In fact, I was angry. Pitch just smiled.

"How do you feel, Patty?"

I stood up and Pitch followed. I looked him in the eye and turned away from him. The darkness evaporated and Jack stood in front of me. He pulled me into a hug.

"Patty! Thank goodness you're okay!" he gasped.

He pushed me away and his smile vanished. "Patty…your eyes are black."

I just stood there. Jack looked different. His white hair was now grey and his outfit was in black and white. Everything was in black and white. Everything was bland. There was no light.

I just stared at Jack. "Where's all the color?"

Jack looked concerned. "Patty…"

A voice cackled in the back of my mind. I just stood staring at Jack. Then, the ground beneath him crumpled and he fell through. I screamed.

"Jack!"
