Devil's Deal
-Still Jack's PoV just so u know-
I was so ashamed I didn't know where to go so I just flew. Flew as far as I could like maybe if I flew far enough I'd drop of the edge of the Earth or that if I got far enough away I could leave all my problems behind. I ended up at the South Pole a cold barren place where life was harsh.
No humans lived here for it being too freezing for them to survive. Maybe this was the right place for me, somewhere others wouldn't get hurt simply because I was near them. I stood at the edge of a steep cliff that dropped off into deep freezing waters.
I ran at the edge swinging my arm that held the tooth box but stopping just before I let it go. I went to throw it from where I was standing but it was like the thing was super glued to my hand, I just couldn't let it go. I let out a sigh walking back from the cliff edge and banging the box against my forehead.
Why couldn't I do it I wanted to do it really bad, but I also wanted to know really bad. I knew these memories wouldn't provide all the answers I needed, nor would it hold any comparison to the memories I had made with Isis. I missed her so much, I'd give anything in the world to get her back anything.
I looked at the golden box in my hands the funny pattern on its flat top and the picture of my mortal face on its side. "I thought this might happen" I heard a 'regretful' voice say behind me as my eyes widened.
My eyebrows knitted together in anger "They never really believed in you, I was just trying to show you that" he continued but my face still twisted in rage.
"But I understand..." before he could say anything else I twisted myself around and threw a powerful blast of ice at him.
Pitch conjured up nightmare sand to shield himself as I advanced on him "YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND ANYTHING" I shouted with great wrath.
Sure I had messed up, but it was him who had tricked me, lured me in, taken Isis and ruined everything. I shot another bolt of ice at him but he blocked with more nightmare sand.
"Oh I don't know what it's like to be cast out" he retaliated throwing sharp black sand at me which I dodged once then twice and flew up into the air.
From where I threw a powerful stream of freezing ice downward on him with an angry cry. He blocked with a large amount of nightmare sand causing snowy dark fog to rise up into the air obscuring my vision.
"To not be believed in, to long for a… family" he continued now behind me.
At the mention of family I stopped attacking and relaxed slightly. I had often wondered if I had a family before I was Jack Frost.
"All those years in the shadows I thought no one else knows what this feels like" I wasn't sure if Pitch was being sincere or not so I didn't let my guard completely down.
He was one to distract you with pretty words and fancy speeches but when I came down to it he hadn't meant a word.
"But now I see I was wrong" he said holding a hand out to me my grip on anger loosened further. "You don't have to be alone Jack, I believe in you and I know children will too" He assured me stalking around me.
"In me" I asked surprised.
"Y-y-yes" Pitch chuckled enthusiastically putting a hand on my shoulder.
"Look what we can do" he said directing my attention to nightmare sand I had frozen in a frightening form.
"What goes together better than cold and dark, we can make them believe" He continued excitedly.
"We'll give them a world where everything, everything is.." "Pitch Black" I finished for him.
Pitch paused for a moment pointing a finger upward "And Jack Frost too, they'll believe in both of us".
"NO, they'll fear both of us" I corrected "And that's not what I want" I had finished my conversation with him and went to leave.
"Now for the last time leave me ALONE" I ordered walking away.
Pitch looked after me before his face harden with anger "Very well, you want to be left alone, done" he decided.
"But first" black sand swirled around Pitch's form and when it cleared he wasn't alone.
"JACK" I heard Isis yell making me whirl around immediately. "ISIS" I yelled back jumping toward Pitch and holding my staff at him hostilely.
-Isis's PoV (finally back to my own character)-
I had been trapped wandering around in the darkness of Pitch's lair for what seemed like eternity. There was no natural light only the light I made myself using my electric marble light balls. Suddenly nightmare sand swirled around my feet and I was transported… right back into Pitch's grasp.
He had and arm coiled around my neck tightly making it once again hard for me to breath. I looked around shortly at all the snow and spotted the one person I had been longing to see this whole time.
"JACK" I called to him overjoyed and began to struggle in Pitch's grasp.
He covered my mouth with his hand again grinning menacingly. "ISIS" Jack yelled spotting me he looked just as happy as I was and then his demeanour changed greatly as he pointed his staff at Pitch.
Pitch tightened his grasp around my throat cutting off circulation and causing me to gasp for the little air that was reaching my lungs. I thought immortals couldn't die but then again I'd rather not have the theory be tested out on me.
"THE STAFF JACK" Pitch ordered no longer covering my mouth and reaching his hand out for it.
Jack face was pained as he tried to think of a way out of this "You have a bad habit of interfering" Pitch informed him.
"Now hand it over and I'll let her go" he told his lip twitching upward in a smirk.
"D-don't do… it" I wheezed gripping onto Pitch's arm only causing him to tighten his grip.
Jack's staff glimmered magically with energy as he stood down flipping his staff around and holding it out for Pitch to take. Pitch loosened his grip slightly grabbing onto the end of the staff and yanking it from Jack's grasp.
"Alright now LET HER GO" Jack demanded.
Pitch smiled and looked at Jack like he was an idiot and he kinda was at that moment. Does he really expect the king of darkness and deceit to keep promises, yes he does luckily I had a back-up plan inspired by Baby Tooth.
"No, you said you wanted to be alone, SO BE ALONE" he growled gripping my throat tighter.
Pitch laughed leaning forward and reaching into the front pocket of my pants "Guess you won't be needing these anymore" he whispered into my ear.
I was so angry and repulsed at that second I slammed my heel into his foot again and thrust my head backwards. Right into Pitch's forehead causing him to stumble backwards and me to stumble forwards, I had learned a small amount of self-defence in my time as a mortal.
I staggered right into Jack's arms breathing in deeply and trying to get the circulation running again. "ISIS ARE YOU OKAY" Jack asked in alarm.
"I'm… just… peachy… snowflake" I wheezed in-between breaths.
"Ouch that really hurt GIRL" Pitch hissed cradling his forehead then he grinned. And to my alarm he brought his hand down to grip all my magic cards between his hands.
"This should teach you a lesson" he decided gripping the cards tightly and tearing them all in half all at once.
"NO" I shouted weakly feeling like I myself was being pulled in half as I became light headed.
Pitch laughed sinisterly letting the cards scatter in the breeze. He looked at me right in the eyes and my pain and sorrow only seemed to make him happier "Don't be sad your boyfriend will be joining you" then he cracked Jack's staff in half on his knee getting grunt of pain from Jack.
At least I know how Jack felt now and truthfully it was no good. It was like what I imagine being hung over, heartbroken and bashed up feels like all at once, so yeah that painful. Jack stumbled a bit holding a hand to his chest no doubted finding it hard to breath also.
Pitch conjured up some nightmare sand and fired right at us "WACTH OUT" I cried shielding Jack with my own body.
I was thrown back forcefully making me feel like a rag doll, bowling Jack over in the process and we both went tumbling into a large frozen crevice. We plummeted down the hole hitting some stone that was jutting out of the rock.
One rock in particular I remember 'cause it hit me right at the base of the back of my head and it was extremely painful after that everything was fuzzy and turned well, Pitch Black. The last thing that was clear in my mind was the sound of Jack's staff tumbling into the crevice after us.
-And back to Jack's PoV-
"Ow ow ow ow ow ow" I groaned easing myself up from the ground and propping myself against the crevice wall.
I looked up to see the sky darkening rapidly and we were stuck down here. Something clicked in my mind and I beside me to see Isis lying sprawled out strangely a short ways away, unmoving.
"ISIS" I cried terrified as I scrambled over to her.
I shook her shoulder lightly "Isis, Isis, Isis" I repeated many times but got no response.
I held onto her form and pulled her closer to me hugging her tightly, and stroking her hair. I breathed in deeply smelling her sweet scent and feeling her warm breath on the back of my neck and her heart beating steadily. I continued to stroke her hair in a soothing manner.
Though I don't know if I was trying to reassure her, or myself that she was okay and that everything would be alright now we were together again. I was just about driven insane, without her I didn't know what to do. Now I realise how mortals must feel about the person they love.
When you're not with them you miss them so much and go crazy. When you are with them to you want to protect them. At that moment I decided that I wouldn't let fear control me any longer.
Yes, I was afraid that if I told Isis how I felt that she would not feel the same way, and she would leave me but now I realise that's irrational and stupid. Even if she doesn't return my feelings we can still be friends, but I feel very certain that she will.
So after all this is over and Pitch is safely locked away in the mental asylum for immortals I'll tell her how I feel.
I sighed calmly that seemed like a good plan I decided while stroking Isis's hair. While I was stroking in the middle of her dark brown hair however I felt something sticky on my fingers.
Raising my hand up in the low light my eyes widened as I stared at the crimson substance on my hand "Is this blood"?!
YAY!
Did I just do a cliffhanger... yes I think I did ^-^
