An invisible force raced through the woods. However, no leaves were crushed, no footprints were made, and there was no trace anyone was ever there.
The invisible force stopped abruptly in front of a giant mountain, and shed it's cloak. From inside the cloak, was Fear with Jack.
With a flick of his wrist, an opening in the cave formed, and he walked into the darkness that awaited.
0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0
Blue eyes cracked open and searched the pitch black room Jack was placed into. Everything was black, darkness surrounded him, the silence was deafening.
Jack was suspended in midair by black chains that connected to the ceiling. He wasn't that afraid, but more than that, he was bored again.
He exhaled a big breath, causing him to sway slightly. His face brightened with a grin, and he swung his hips to a random direction.
He swung side to side, but slowly stopped, and went again..and again..and again until he was full out swinging around, the chains clinking everywhere.
Then he suddenly went still, the chain hardened in place, and he lost momentum. Out of the darkness, walked Fear, who was rubbing his temples.
"Honestly! Can a guy not get any peace in his own prison!?" he grumbled.
But Jack didn't hear anything, everything was blocked out as he swung to look at Fear, and saw his soulless black eyes, that went forever. He went silent, just staring into the void.
Fear noticed this, and shut his eyes, "Woops, sorry, that tends to happen to my victims.." his deep voice like a whisper.
Jack shook his head, coming out of his trance, "Huh? Oh..wait a minute! Did you kidnap me!?" he looked around nervously.
Fear nodded slightly, leaning against a wall nonchalantly, but his face scrunched up, "Well, yes and no, your owners have one day to save you.."
"Owners?" Jack cocked his head to the side.
"You know, your owners..the ones who stole you away from desolation, punished you for not listening with a collar, and gave you a tiny room of your own?" he unconsciously tugged at his spiked necklace tight around his neck.
"No, I have a family not owner, they were always there, and treated me like a son," Jack smiled crookedly.
"What..is...a 'family'?"
Jack stared at him in disbelief, "You mean, you don't have a family!?"
Fear shrugged nonchalantly, "I have an owner, nice guy though, gave me this collar to make sure I don't disobey," he rubbed the black and white spiked 'collar', "And he gives me a nice small room, where every night he chains me up, he's really nice."
Jack said nothing.
"And some months, he even lets me have a small, thin slice of bread. My owner even uses the collar when I disobey, he says it sends electric current through my body to punish for bad behavior."
"It must be horrible! That horrible, and and..he has to be stopped!" Jack panicked slightly.
Fear shook his head, "No no, it's good, my owner says that it helps me get stronger. And he even says that I can do his work for him, which is this!" Fear smiled, his sharp white teeth shining slightly, but it slowly turned to frown.
"Oh no, I left your, 'family' a riddle to find you...owner will get mad, ahrg!"
Jack's face brightened slightly with the hope that Sera would find him, and save him..But, this Fear guy seemed like...he needed help.
"And..you like it when he shocks you?" Jack raised an eyebrow.
"I did, but then owner says that it wouldn't work any more on me, so he went to something called..torture..it think.." he shrugged, and pulled down the neck of his shirt, revealing a giant scar that went from his left shoulder to the middle of his chest.
"Owner gave this to me, he says it reminds me what happens when I disobey him.." Fear pulled his shirt neck back up.
"What did you do?"
"I let go one of his others, her name was..Deceit..I think..she said that if I helped her, she would help me but owner says that she lied to get away from him, and I have to believe owner, or he not be happy.."
"Well..do you want to be happy?"Jack shook in his chains again, and again.
Fear sighed, and with a flick of his wrists, the chains dispersed, and Jack fell to the floor criss-cross, but the strange thing was, Jack stayed that way on his own will.
"I don't know, owner says I'm happy..or should be.." his brows furrowed.
"But..are you?"
"I..I do not know..Di-" he clenched his teeth, "Owner..owner..he is owner..not other.."
"What?"
Fear frowned slightly, "Owner says never to call him by his name..He says he punish me if I ever do.."
"Oh..but...what do you feel is right?"
"I..I do not know..he never lets me think for myself..I hear him whisper things about messing with plans..I don't think he knows I can hear whispers, but I hear every whisper..good or bad.." Fear reclined against the wall.
"Umm..Fear.." Jack had to play his cards right, or he wouldn't get to Fear properly.
"Umm..Fear?"
"Hmm?"
"Is..Fear your real name? Or did you have a life before you became a spirit?"
"I..I do not remember my life.. not know.."
"You know Fear..a family is much better than..an..'owner'."
"What is a family like?"
"Well..normally, it means people that are related to you or something..but..from past circumstances, I've figured out-the hard way per say-that family are people that hold a place in your heart, y'know? Like, they can be from your relative's arch enemy, and still be your family..because..you love them in like..not a romance way-It could be that way-but more in the caring sense.."
"A family..sounds nice..owner never talks about families..and he only hurts me.."
"Well..I'm sure I could find your family," Jack offered, smiling slightly.
"But owner would get mad."
"What if he didn't find you? I could make sure he doesn't..I mean..I guess so.."
"Really?..I mean..Owner would get mad...but..he..he can't...control..me...anymore," Fear gritted his teeth, "He...he can't.." his head exploded into a blinding pain.
"No...more...owner….You..cannot..con..trol...me...an..y...lon..ger! G...e...t...ou..t...of..m..y...he..ad!" Fear growled, and all went silent. He sat there panting, Jack was staring at him in confusion.
"I'm..free.. I'm free!" Fear breathed, "He's gone!" with a single touch, the collar around his neck shattered like black glass, and fell to the ground.
"Whoa.."
Fear turned to Jack, smiling, "Y'know kid, you got something special in you.." he gently poked Jack's chest, "You keep making amazing things happen child of moon and nature."
"Yeeeaaahhh..umm, don't call me that, I prefer Jack.." Jack smirked and rubbed the back of his neck, "And I'm not necessarily the 'god' child," he laughed.
"C'mon, I guess that riddle was for nothing..and I may have sent your family on a wild goose chase."
Jack just shrugged, "Sure, we can go..ooor, we could stop by the desserts and meet up with one of my friends?! Eh, eh?"
"Sorry Jack, I don't want anything to happen to you on my account."
"Fine!" Jack whined, but his whine was cut short by a sudden paling in realization of something, "Umm..Fear..do you know where my staff is?"
"Oh, that piece of wood? Here," he snapped his fingers, and spiders came from the walls, bringing the staff with them in a blanket of web.
"Creepy.."
Fear eyed him strangely, "Spiders are my friends..they were always there to hang with me before..he cut off my direct contact with them..so I could only use them when doing something for him.." Fear spat mention of 'him' like acid on the tongues.
"Oh.."
Fear shrugged, and snagged Jack's hood, and levitated somehow in heck. Randomly, a hatch formed like clay in the ceiling, and opened up to more darkness. Fear slid in through them, somehow dragging Jack behind him.
Left, right, up, down, the vent-like tunnels went everywhere until they reached a dead end.
"Made this a while ago, so no one but me could get through," Fear mumbled, and reached out to touch the black wall. Almost instantly, it molded like clay into an opening into the light.
Jack shielded his eyes, waiting to adjust to the light, and looked around their surroundings. Fear was standing there, eyes narrowed, staring into the distance.
"We have to leave now, there's someone who shouldn't be here, here," Fear grabbed Jack's hood again, and levitated once more, and took off.
They were flying at incredible speed, when they stopped abruptly, making Fear skid to a hault. In front of them stood a man with torn up, and scorched red hair, and torn up jeans and a ripped shirt, and he was as well barefoot.
What was strange to Jack, was that on his cheek was a scar that was an X, and it instantly looked like it dripped blood, and his eyes were red slits on the white like a snake's, his razor teeth a slight smirk.
"My my, Fear, aren't we quite rambunctious today, eh?" the man sneered.
"What do you want!?" Fear growled.
The man was looking nonchalantly at his fingers, but pointed at Jack, "Him."
"No!" Fear snapped.
"What's gotten into you Fear? Owner wanted me to bring the boy to him, and I thought you loved owner like the rest of us. He took such good care of us all, and he would have went easy on you if it weren't for the girl you let out" the man snarled.
"It was the right decision, and now, I've opened my eyes to reality! But..you can open your eyes again too.."
"Yeah right," the man scoffed.
"You could be free from him..just trust me," Fear smiled slightly.
"Really?"
"Yes."
The man reached for Fear's hand, and went to grab it with a smile..But that smile turned to a smirk, and his hand receded, "Try again idiot, I'll never leave owner, so if you don't mind, I'll take the boy now."
"Over my dead body!"
The man shrugged.
"So be it."
