Oh my gosh! You guys! I love all of your supports and the reviews! Ah! I nearly died trying to hold in all my happiness. Anyways I honestly thought that I'd take longer choosing what I would do for Pitch's part and all, but because of the reviews, they just gave me the motivation boost and ideas came pouring in for Pitch and for the next chapter. So I would like to thank you so much for the reviews!

Wow, I'm sorry it's so late! Many many things have happened that i'm sure you won't wanna hear about so, I had to get this up before I go to Disneyland Saturday! Yay! Tomorrow I will be at a friend's place so no writing. I will apologize deeply in advance. i'm really sorry my English is getting worse and my words are starting to jumble up and vocabulary is laking even more. I guess it's time for me to fine someone to tidy it up eh? I hope you enjoy anyhow.

Dark gloomy clouds hovered over Berk like a blanket to where the sun can no longer be found. It was almost as if it was still nighttime. Everybody longed for the endless frightening nights to be over each and every passing hour they were in bed, too scared to even go to sleep to pass the hours. They even lost track of what time it since their source was gone.

The large tough adult Vikings everyone once knew were pretty much gone during the dark hours. They would share their beds with their fear filled children. It gave a bit of comfort not only to the children, but some to the older ones as well. Though of course they wouldn't show that they too feared the nights when the Boogeyman comes out to play. What kind of Vikings or rather parent would they be to their children whom they were looked up to?

As the minutes slowly turned into an hour, and a single hour would sluggishly reach into another hour; one after another, Vikings soon fell asleep. That time, none had nightmares. None woke up in the middle of the nights shaking or fearing for their lives. Crazy as it sounds, the nightmares felt a lot more frightening and life threatening than the times they used to fight dragons. Lucky for them though, nothing happened. They were all out like a blown out candle.

Somewhere in the Northern part of the isle of Berk were shadows slowly creeping out of a deep dark hole. Around those shadows was the sound of cracking ice that looked to be charcoal black. They were forming spikes and shards poked out of the ground as the followed the shadows. Quiet chortles echoed around and the black shadows begin to form an outline of a tall thin man. "Oh you know very well what I am up to friend." He said. "You're just too scared to admit what a great plan it is!" A sly smile stretched on the man's thin lips as he spoke softly. "Oh, it's not the so called Vikings that I want, no, you can have those." He chortled again, slowly glaring up to the moon. "No, no… It's the dragons that I want. Imagine!" He threw up his hands to his sides. "The one and only great Nightmare King Pitch Black, rising up once again with dragons to defeat your so called guardians."

.

"Oh man! I slept like a baby last night!" Snotlout exclaimed, letting out a hoot, while stretching this way and that.

"You mean you woke up in the middle of the night crying your eyes out?" Astrid retorted. Snotlout stopped in his pace; glaring at the back of the blond braided hair that swayed while she walked passed him while the others followed after. They had passed him, one after another, letting out a couple of laughs and patting the boy. Tuffnut on the other hand stop to stand on the right on him, patting his shoulder. He was the loudest to laugh.

"She sure told you." Snotlout slapped Tuffnut's hand away, scoffing.

"Not what I mean Astrid!" After that, there was silence in the air aside from the steps both human and dragon took to get across the bridge of the academy. The night before might have given them a break from being scared of everything around them, but the nightmares from the previous nights still lingered through out everyone's mind. They were still cautious and weary about riding their dragons. Even if it was a dream and even if it was just absolutely ridiculous, they didn't want to take that risk.

Every once and a while, Astrid would look into Stormfly's eyes. Ever since that day where Hiccup had lost his abilities to see, Astrid was very vigilant about her dragon's eyes. It was only once that it happened. That day of the incident, both Stormfly's and Hookfang's had gone completely yellow and if she wasn't mistaken, Toothless's eyes also went yellow, but it didn't last as long as the other two dragons. It worried her deeply.

"Where's Hiccup?" Fishlegs asked, snapping Astrid out of her thoughts. She wasn't sure how long she had been zoning out, but they were already inside the academy, and when did she stop walking? She put that bit off as she guessed it was from habit of just walking into the arena and subconsciously knowing when she's inside it, causing her to stop walking.

"Yeah, isn't he like, our leader, or somethin'?" Tuffnut questioned.

"Psh! No way!" Snotlout scoffed, rolling his eyes. "He's just the uh," He paused, trying to think of something else other than something like a leader. No way Hiccup would be a leader of any kind!

"The chief?" Ruffnut answered.

"That bucktoothed dragon boy will never be chief! Not when there's a more suitable man like me around to take the part." Snotlout boasted, flexing his arms.

Astrid rolled her eyes, not paying any more attention to the black haired boy. Instead, her mind wandered to the most recent dream or rather nightmare that she had. Why is it that when you have a normal or even cool dream, you tend to forget a lot from it, but when it's a nightmare, you remember every detail about it? She sighed, feeling irritated by that thought. Sure it started out fine, but she couldn't recall how it turned so bad.

Astrid and Hiccup were out on a picnic, something they never get to do. There was never any time to just get away from the village and especially away from (mostly) Snotlout, and the others. So she was happy, happier than riding Stormfly on a sprinkling day. Instead of riding their dragons all the way up to a mountain, they decided to fly deep into the forest first, and then hike up the mountain. She made sure it wasn't too steep for Hiccup's sake. It was all going so was better than going out with your best friend (for some reason, she still couldn't find herself calling him her boyfriend, and it wasn't like she was ashamed of him mind you.) and having a day of working out the body, eating right after and relaxing. Or so that's what she thought that's what happened. The memory of that bit of the dream is a tad fuzzy to her.

"This was nice Astrid." Hiccup said, looking into her eyes sheepishly. She looked at him and gave the boy a fond smile.

"It was." She replied. It was getting a bit more romantic to her as the sun was nearing the horizon. Sure this would be the perfect scene to end the date with a kiss and cuddle until it was fully dark, but instead, she would just rather watch the beautiful works of Mother Nature. It was a good thing Hiccup was that kind of guy too, and she had always admired him for that. She didn't know who leaned in first, but slowly they shorten the distance between them. Astrid's eyes began to fall slowly, while Hiccup's were still half lidded. Now their lips finally met, usually the most wonderful feeling to her, but that wasn't the case. Just as soon she had made contact with him, it was like energy was being forced out of her from the heart first. Eyes wide open, she could see that it was no longer Hiccup she was kissing, or at least the Hiccup she knew. No, it was more like a silhouette of him with bright golden eyes.

Astrid shuddered, as she gripped the fabric of her shirt just outside where her heart is. 'It was a dream yes,' she gulped, 'but it felt so real. I know I felt it.'

She didn't know how long it lasted, but to her, it felt like an centuries. The kiss was not forced, and she wasn't pulled into it physically. It was just… she didn't know!

'Why couldn't I just pull away from… What ever that was?'

Eventually, it had stopped. Only because a new dream started after the… creature sucked out all of her energy and not to mention breath. She felt her life draining painfully. Now she was in the Village. Like the gods decided to zap her forward in time.

Astrid was now on her knees, still gripping at her chest where the energy felt completely empty. She looked down to see thick red liquid seeping through her fingers and dripping slowly down her hand and onto the dirt ground below. The liquid traveled, leaving red streak trails on its way to the ground, her eyes following it. Once it made contact to the earth below her, it strangely vibrated painfully, but not like an earthquake. Her blue eyes, now paling to an almost dull grey colour gazed back up to an empty village. Not a single Viking in sight and the buildings looked old and ransacked. Many of them had collapsed and parts of the woods had black flames on them. They weren't spreading at all.

Without warning, another silhouette appeared, this time, of a Deadly Nadder. Her Deadly Nadder. It didn't make much sense to her how she knew it was Stormfly; she didn't question it either because hey, strange things happen in dreams.

"Stormfly!" She mouthed. Nothing came out. She was mute this time, and she felt scared when the Nadder turned its head to a side view, revealing a bright golden eye; the same type that the Hiccup silhouette had. She wanted to move, dear gods did she wanted to move, but no matter what her mind was telling her, she couldn't move a muscle.

'No' was her last thought as Stormfly started to move her legs, running towards the helpless girl with its spikey poison filled tail in view and ready to attack. Her breath was caught painfully in her throat, her eyes wide and the last thing she saw was a full on detail of Stormfly's beautiful tail that she loved.

"So…" She stated with her breath heavy and slow. "Was that the last thing Hiccup saw?

.

Noise noise noise! There was nothing but noises all around him! Hiccup let out a heavy sigh as Jack was escorting him to who knows where, and he was sure that Jack didn't even know himself as he turned him around several times. Part of him wishes that he could speak up so Jack could tell them why they were here in the first place and he could leave and get home to a pot full of soup his father usually makes for supper, but a part of him wanted the noise. And for one reason only. His stomach would not stop crying out for food. Gods why did he have to skip eating two nights before, and breakfast and lunch today? It was probably even too late for dinner too!

'Really Hiccup, it's not healthy for you to not eat for two day' he told himself.

Hiccup can't see what time it is anymore due to his blindness. Was the sun rising yet or has it been out for several hours? He didn't have a single clue. The moment he was aware his eyes were never going to open again, he knew he couldn't do many things such as draw, write, and simply not be able to gaze up at the stars. He was too stubborn to stop riding Toothless, working at the forge and training dragons. He would never ever stop at least two of the three things he loved doing the most. Hiccup was just glad to have his best friend to support him and not to mention his new friend Jack helping Hiccup with more than a few things.

Hiccup was mindful of those handicaps and the less impossible. He just didn't realize it could be this bad. Just the simplest things he couldn't do: Tell time, walk, and eating would be a problem. With all this noise going around as well, he couldn't tell who was talking, but he could easily guess that it was pretty much everyone.

"I guess it's a good thing." Hiccup mumbled, sighing as he clutched his stomach in attempts to quiet the embarrassing rumbles. Even if it was too loud and he knew no one could hear it, he felt as if it was the loudest thing in the room. He grumbled at the repetitive rumbling noise.

"What wrong?" Jack asked, leaning in closer to Hiccup's ear so the boy could hear him more clearly.

"Oh um, nothing! It's ah nothing at all." He lowered his head, now wrapping both of his arms around his thin torso. Maybe this is why he's so small. With out meaning to, he forgets to eat all day and he does nothing but move around all the time!

"Are ya sure?" Jack asked. His hold on Hiccup's shoulder tightens a bit. "It sure doesn't look it to me." Hiccup hesitated before answering the teen behind him, not liking his situation right now.

"Um, actually," He pause, "I skipped three meals yesterday and didn't have any breakfast or lunch and I don't know what time it is, but it's definitely too late for dinner right? So ah, I was wondering maybe if I can that is, and if it's not too much trouble for you…" Oh gods he was stumbling all over his words like an idiot.

"You need something to eat don'tcha?" Hiccup nodded, shoulders tensing, he felt embarrassed by his request and of all times to do it too. He felt the absence of Jack's hands on his shoulders as they felt warmer temperature wise, yet colder. That sure was strange to him. Those said hands were now on the sides of his waist.

"Ah! Jack what are you-" Hiccup couldn't finish his sentence as Jack pinched had his sides. It tickled, but not enough to actually make him laugh, and he suppressed the giggles.

"It's a no wonder why you're so skinny Hiccup!" Jack exclaimed. "You're all skin and bones kid." He let out a few laughs.

"Thank you for summin' that up Jack! I hadn't noticed." Hiccup said. His mind completely ignoring the butterfly sensations in his stomach, since there is a hungry beast in there that is more dominant.

"Haha sorry." Jack apologized half-heartedly. "We need to get you a quick snack, and then head to Berk." Hiccup nodded excitedly, finally getting some food. Even if it was just a snack and not a meal, it was still something. Plus, they were finally going to proceed with the problem at home.

The way Hiccup brightened up was, Jack had to admit, cute. It was like he was babysitting a hungry child and he was going to finally feed the kid. Every child is happy when his food is on its way. Or so that's how he tried to make out of this little setting. Yes he did find Hiccup a little bit cute (Not a lot, nope. He isn't that adorable with his freckles filled cheeks he felt the need to pinch the life out of. Not at all.) But not cute like Jamie cute. He was a different kind of cute. Hiccup though; he has no idea what he means by it or why he is thinking about the level of cuteness in the first place. 'My mind just tends to wander a lot.' Jack nodded, going back to his previous task.

Jack hadn't been at the North Pole for long, or at least long enough to know where a kitchen was, but luckily for him, he could just snatch a tray of cookies from one of the elves. Jack continued looked around in search of a tray that had something other than sweets. 'If Hiccup hasn't eaten in' he looked up to the open rooftop, noticing a small noticeable ray of sunshine. He sighed. 'In two days, then he deserves something more suitable for that tiny hungry stomach of his.' Jack thought as he switched his gaze from the sky to the boy he was still holding onto, and when did their distance become so close!? Jack noticed.

He quickly stepped back a bit from him, almost letting go of Hiccup, who had his head turned away from Jack before he realized that his warm fingers drummed on his cold hands. It dawned on him that Hiccup had given an attempt on pulling those hands away, but what made him stop? His grip on the boy wasn't tight at all, and he wasn't paying any mind to what he was doing at all so it would have been easy to pry his hands off his waist. Whatever. Food. Now. For Hiccup.

Jack continued his search for elves with trays, or a table of sweets or anything. He spotted a couple of little elves munching on treats. Not what Jack wanted for Hiccup. He looked up to the next story, seeing a table filled with all kinds of treats. They were just below where the guardians met up and right above Hiccup's room. How lucky was that? Jack smiled, sliding his hands up Hiccup's torso so he could pick him up by the underarms. Jack suppressed a snigger as he felt a shudder and a quiet small yelp from the Viking boy as he quickly wrapped his arms around Jack's neck. Really now, he should be use to flying off with him like this without any warning. Jack chuckled.

"Guys!" Jack shouted above the noise as he covered Hiccup's ear that was near his mouth. Surprisingly he was heard and the noise died down. Everybody turned their eyes to the pair floating above them. "If we're going to have that talk about, you know, the Boogey Man, let me know and we'll have the meeting up here." Jack said and then floated up and over the banister to the second floor.

"And here you are princess, your feast awaits." Jack grinned, both releasing their hold on each other. Hiccup scoffed, grinning back at the white haired teen.

"Why thank you Jack, you've been most loyal servant." Hiccup said. Jack kneeled down on one knee, putting aside his staff; he pressed one hand to his chest and grabbed Hiccup's hand with the other.

"I will serve you till the end m'lady."

"Then would you be a dear and fetch me a plate. You see, your eyes are far greater than mine and it will be most helpful" Hiccup smiled, a small shade of pink covered his cheeks. Jack chuckled at not only at the sight, but the request.

"Of course." He said in character, but actually out of character as well. "Anything for my princess." After a couple of shared laughs, Jack stood up and guided the blind boy to the table. "There's a wide variety, you got your deli's, your desserts and appetizers."

"Everything sounds great right now." Hiccup said with a smile, but it soon turned into a serious face that Jack had yet to see from the boy. "Just hand me something already will you Frosty? I'm hungry!"

"Haha alright alright." Jack said, scanning the table. There was a large variety of sweets, very few choices of little sandwiches, and a large fruit bouquet. Boy did that look amazing. Jack picked off two chocolate-covered strawberry from the bouquet, putting one in his mouth and the other up to Hiccup's lip. Instantly, he opened his mouth, taking a bite of the fruit.

Hiccup took a moment to smack him lips, licking them a few times before grabbing Jack's hand; snatching the strawberry and devouring it like a hungry animal. Well, he was hungry, really hungry, so Jack couldn't blame him. Jack chuckled.

"I take it you like it?" He asked.

"Very much! Are there more!?" Hiccup asked excitedly, rapidly drumming his fingers on his legs. Jack nodded, almost forgetting Hiccup couldn't see before answering him.

"Yeah." Jack said. He grabbed another chocolate-covered strawberry and held it to Hiccup's mouth, the boy reacted by opening his lips instantly and eating the fruit whole this time, almost biting Jack's finger in the process.

It continued that way, though Jack being more careful, until the other guardians arrived. Tooth, looked to have been there for quite some time actually. Her body in a lying position where her stomach with towards the floor, legs bent upwards and crossed, and her hands on her cheeks.

"So what's the plan?" Bunnymund asked. "Are we leavin' or what?"

"Yes yes, we shall travel by sleigh yes?" North asked.

"Uh no, we take the tunnels. They're a lot faster."

"I vote sleigh!" Jack shouted, handing Hiccup a piece of watermelon to keep him busy while he sets up a bowl for him. He didn't even have to see Bunnymund's face to know that he was being glared at. "Remember Bunny, Hiccup has a dragon." Bunny grumbled, seeing as how his tunnels might not be safe for a dragon.

"Right, well!" North exclaimed. "To the sleigh!" He marched downstairs with Sandy right behind. Tooth finally snapped out of her daze due to Jack tossing a grape at her, hitting her forehead.

"C'mon Tooth!" He chuckled, escorting Hiccup by the shoulders while he ate from his little fruit bowl. He looked like he was in heaven right now.

"Huh? Oh, right!" Tooth jolted down next to the two boys.

"You too Bunny, or do I have to drag your cotton tail?" He smirked. Bunny grumbled, making comments under his breath.

Paying no attention to what's in front of him, Jack was guiding Hiccup to a set of stairs. Hiccup, putting all trust in Jack, felt he was safe until the floors disappear below his right foot. He gasped as reflexes took over; he gripped onto the bowl with one hand and twisted his body to grab onto Jack's arm with the other.

It was a good thing Jack could fly, because if he couldn't, both he and Hiccup would be tumbling down the stairs, and he would have felt terrible if the Viking boy got hurt because of him.

"That was a close one." Jack said, letting out a breath at the same time Hiccup had.

"Yeah. Maybe next time you could watch where you are taking me?" Hiccup said, grinning.

"Right. Sorry."

"It's alright." Jack position himself and Hiccup in a comfortable way so that he could float down past the stairs.

"You guys alright?" Tooth asked.

"We're fine Tooth." Hiccup smiled, releasing his hold on Jack. The young guardian too was smiling and gave her a quick nod Her feathers poofed out as she gave them a smile back before departing out the door to where North and Sandy exited. . Bunny soon hopped down right next to them, giving Jack an eye roll while grinning before he followed the colourful fairy.

"Where's Toothless?" Hiccup asked.

"Huh. I don't know. I don't see him." Jack said. Before he could call out the dragon's name, Hiccup handed the empty bowl to Jack and cupped his hands around his mouth to let out an odd loud howl. Soon enough, Toothless came around the corner, letting out almost a similar noise.

"Hey there bud!" Hiccup smiled, hugging his dragon's head that was prodding his chest. "It's time to go." Toothless purred happily, turning around for Hiccup. The Viking reached out, feeling for the saddle before hopping on.

"Well… That was interesting." Jack said.

"That sir was a Night Fury call." Hiccup grinned, his head held high with pride. "Where to?"

"This way." Deciding it was unnecessary to be on the floor any longer, Jack flew up and out the door to outside where everyone was in the sleigh. Even the nervous Pooka.

"Where to Hiccup?" North asked, pulling out a small globe.

"To the Isle of Berk." Hiccup answered, not realizing their way of travels. His hands moved to his arms and shoulder realizing his heavy coat wasn't on for the trip. What worried Jack was the fact Hiccup ignored that fact. If they were really going to make that trip back like the way they came, he would have retrieved it. 'Too stubborn for your own good Hiccup, that's gonna be the death of ya if that keeps up.' Jack thought, shaking his head.

"Buckle up!" North shouted, whipping the reigns.

"Oh not again." Bunnymund said, holding on for dear life. Jack sniggered as he dropped into the sleigh right before it took off.

Toothless followed behind, flawlessly maneuvering around the icicles and even performing the loopy-loop. Flying off into the air they went, they rode the icy winds while North prepared the portal to Berk.

Jack looked back to see if his mortal friend was all right in the freezing winds without his coat. Hiccup pressed himself against Toothless's back to keep himself warm. 'Don't worry Hic, it won't last long this time.' Jack turned around right as they went through the portal where the Isle was now in full view.

Yay, finally back to Berk. Now we get down to business cause hey, I hate skipping time. Like, Hiccup wakes up, meets the guardians and time skip to Berk, yeah I don't do that. I will twice for sure and I know when they will be too. But any other times, well, they're just gonna be really small ones or something, I'm not making any sense aren't I? It's time for me to go to bed already. But before I do, i need to explain the Dream Sand Jack had!

I forgot to mention what the Ship and the Seagulls meant. The ship: denotes that you are exploring aspects of your emotions and subconscious.(it all depends on the condition of the ship but I will skip all that) If the ship is sailing the high seas denotes that you are still standing tall despite the emotional turmoil occurring in your like and according to the Rise of the Guardians DVD: (I forgot word for word) Sandy says: Go and search for a new friend. Or something, I will double check later. Now for the seagulls: Indicates a desire to get away from your problems or the demands of your walking life. It may also be a pun for "see go" Which I like. There's more but I don't think you guys would want more. Oh!

Also, I've been wanting to write a HiJack modern AU so bad. I really love them and ideas are just coming to me to where it's enough for a story. So I will be writing one! But that won't happen for a bit due to the fact that I can barely work on this one! I will someday, and don't worry, I will definitely not be leaving this one.

Thank you all again and review for any advise see how my writing and all has plummet off the face of the earth. I myself am not happy but I really couldn't... Yeah. I need sleep.
