Chapter 12

Jack takes me to Sandy's place, a gorgeous mansion made out of golden sand. I stare in awe at the beauty it has. Sandy is waiting for us on the porch and waves. We land and Jack starts having a conversation with Sandy and hands him something I don't quite see. But judging by the look Sandy gives Jack, it's important. Sandy goes off with the object to another room while Jack comes up to hug me.

" , I have to go back to help North a little more. Will you be ok with Sandy?" Jack asks me, searching my eyes for any signs of fear.

"I'll be alright Jack. I trust Sandy and you do too," I say as I pull him down for a quick passionate kiss. Jack looks at me, all the worry gone from his eyes.

"I'll come back as soon as I'm done. If I'm not done by the time you're done training with Sandy, he'll take you to Tooth. Ok?" Jack asks me and I nod. He flies off on the wind toward North's workshop and I turn toward Sandy.

"Shall we get started?" I ask him, he nods and sand images appear above his head quickly. "Whoa! Slow down a bit, I'm new at this," I laugh. Understanding this he slows the sand and I make out 'I will train you to face your fears and the true power of illusions.' Sandy pulls out a vial of black sand and I gasp and back away a little. He waves his hands, 'don't worry! This will be a controlled simulation of your worst fear you know of.' Sandy motions to the sand sofa and I lay down on it. He mixes a bit of his golden sand to the black to water down the effects of the nightmare. I close my eyes as he sprinkles it above my head and I plunge into darkness.
