When I woke, I felt a pain in my head. I went to put my hand on my head but I couldn't. My hands were tied above my head. I looked around the room and my eyes suddenly locked on a body that was opposite me. I gasped…it was Jack! I squirmed around trying to free myself but couldn't. I heard a noise and I turned back to see Jack was waking. I smiled as he shook his head to get rid of the dizziness. He looked up and our eyes locked. He went to move closer but then realised that his hands were trapped above his head too. His staff was placed next to him.

"Jack?" I croaked. He smiled at my voice.

"Yeah?" his voice seemed just as hoarse as mine. I coughed slightly, clearing my throat. He copied but a lot weaker.

"Jack! You sound awful…I should never have left, this is my fault we're here-" I gasped "where are the others?" he suddenly looked just as worried as me. He cleared his throat and looked at me and then around the room, looking for something.

"I don't know, we came to find you and they got taken away before me. I saw you and then I was taken too. I tried to stop Pitch so if their dead it's my fault not yours! It was my idea to come find you, my fault for trying to get to Pitch, my fault for not helping the others, my fault for not being brave enough to get you away from that creep…my fault we're here" he looked down and I bit my lip. I felt the tears trying to escape but I blinked them back.

"Jack it's not your fault, I chose to go after Pitch…" I shuddered at his name. Jack looked up and I could just about see his tear-stained face in the darkness of the room. I gave him a loving smile and he gave me a weak grin.

A door swung open and Pitch strutted in. He looked down his nose at Jack and smirked at me. I fidgeted as he got closer to me. He crouched down in front of me.

"Pitch, touch her and I swear-" Jack started saying, trying his best to sound menacing.

"You'll do what frost?" Pitch mocked. Jack scowled at him and tried his best to get free, failing miserably. Pitch turned back to me and I gulped. His hand traced along my leg and I shivered, trying to keep my moans to a minimum. I heard Jack growl and Pitch grinned, tracing his fingers along my leg again and again. A moan escaped my mouth but I couldn't help it. Pitch quickly shoved his mouth to my mouth making my eyes go wide. I squirmed around, trying to get free.

"Pitch!" I heard Jack snap. I felt Pitch smile through my lips as he continued to slide his hand along my leg. I hated this and so I squirmed again breaking the kiss, turning my head to face the other way. I gasped when he began to kiss and bite my neck. With all my might I kicked him away from me, my hands still hanging above my head. Pitch smiled to himself and straightened up. He turned to Jack, slapping him across the face with the back of his hand. I squeaked as Jack looked back up, the side of his face bright red and tears beginning to fall.

"Jack…" I said softly. With that Pitch left. I wanted to free myself and comfort Jack, to wipe away his tear and kiss his cheek, to tell him everything was going to be alright. We sat in awkward silence. Jack pushed his foot out and I pushed mine out too so our toes were touching. He smiled at me and I gave him a caring smile.

"Anemone…?" he whispered, bless him. I could see the red tint on his cheek and it made my heart ache. I smiled kindly.

"Yes Jack?" I braced myself for whatever he had to say.

"Has Pitch done anything to you?" I could hear the harsh tone he used when he said Pitch's name. my face fell, I wasn't prepared for that question. I thought for a while; should I tell him about the first kiss Pitch stole, the way he touched me? I shivered at the memory and decided to tell him. I nodded and he growled. "What did he do?" his was cold and full of hatred. I felt tears in the corners of my eyes.

"The same as now…" I spoke softly; I didn't like Jack's angry voice. It scared me. He growled again, a lot louder than the others. He sounded frustrated. I looked up to see he was trying to free himself, he failed again. Whatever we were tied in, it was strong. I heard sniffling and I looked up to see Jack was crying. "Jack?" he tried to stop but it seemed to keep going.

"What's wrong Jack?" he looked me in the eye.

"The fact I wasn't there to protect you…" I gasped and I felt more tears, some beginning to roll down my cheek.

"It's okay Jack, he didn't try anything. I kicked him off before he could even try" this caused Jack to chuckle slightly and I smiled. I would do anything to hear his laugh, to see him smiling again. To see him free.

"Go to sleep Jack, you'll need the energy" I said finally. He gave me a weak nod before closing his eyes. I closed mine too, only to see fear…
