Hello, I am back. Please enjoy.

I don't own RotG


Bunny just stared at him as Morana slowly turned her own confused expression to look at Jack waiting for him to explain. "My" Bunny started before shaking his head, "My eggs?"

"Yes," Jack said calmly ignoring both his compatriots looks, "your eggs." He repeated as if it wasn't a strange request.

"Jack, what exactly are you thinking?" Morana asked.

Jack sighed and looked to her, "Trust me." He said before turning back to the still confused assuie, "Well? I just need them for an experiment with her powers." He explained thinly his intentions.

Bunny looked to the girl with a scrutinizing look and she just shrugged her shoulders in confusion before turning and looking at Jack herself. Bunny sighed and looking back to Jack nodding, "Alright, its far enough out from next Easter, help yourself." He said before turning back to his desk and sitting down, ignoring Jack dragging the girl away by her cloak and towards the fields of eggs.

Jack quickly set to work stuffing his pockets with eggs as they popped out of the ground. Morana looked on still confused, "I don't understand how eggs are supposed to help us." She said quietly as she watched as Jack eagerly stood and floated back over to the girl.

"This way," Jack said as he stood straight and wrapped his arm around her waist again, "If you kill them it won't matter." He stated simply as he winked at her and took off into the sky, Bunny's shout of "If she what?!" echoing behind the two as he shot back to the south pole. He laughed as her arms tightened around his neck and she screamed that she hated him into his hoodie. When he landed outside of the castle he let her go and she glared at him, "What?" He asked walking inside.

"I said never do that again." She deadpanned.

Jack laughed, "Nothing bad happened." He simply stated as he walked away from the angry girl and into the ice palace.

"Nothing bad happened this time, you idiot!" She shouted after him, to which he just laughed at harder and continued walking, smiling to himself when he heard her grumbling as she got closer to him. "So, what now?" She asked gesturing to jacks pockets full of eggs, "We have a bunch of eggs with tiny legs, how are they supposed to help me keep my powers in control?"

"That, my dear," Jack said as he quickly turned causing Morana to almost walk right into him, stopping mere inches from his chest, "is the brilliance of my plan." He said and Morana just gave him a confused look as he spun around yet again and walked off leaving the girl standing there.

"What?" She said quietly to herself before shaking her head and walking after Jack again. Jack on the other hand had a proud look on his face as he walked surely towards the room they had been practicing in, sure that his plan was going to work. "Jack, can you stop being cryptic and tell me what you hope to accomplish with this?" Morana finally groaned as they entered the room.

"Simple," Jack said as he looked back at her, "You're too afraid of hurting me that you won't let me be the guinea pig so," He explained as he pulled an egg out of his pocket, "meet your new guinea pigs." he said proudly as Morana looked at his hand nervously.

"It's living?" She asked as Jack walked closer to her.

"Yes, by technical standards, so either you kill it or come next easter kids will." He said nonchalantly and took her hand before she could protest and placed the struggling egg in her hand. "Control it." he whispered. Morana breathed sharply and looked at the egg in her hand as she felt the power surge through her hand and start to drain the poor little egg. "Just concentrate." Jack breathed suddenly much closer as he watched the egg in her hands start to writhe slowly. Her breathing steadied and she felt the power ease away from her slowly and the egg slowly went back to its normal behavior of kicking its legs trying to escape.

Jack let out a breathy laugh and looked up into the completely surprised face of the girl in front of him. Her head was still cast down in excitement as she watched the egg, and Jack took the time to examine her face. Despite the fact that she had been stay with him he hadn't actually observed her much, what with trying to figure out how to help her control her powers. She had blood red hair that fell in front of her face in random clumps and fell down her back in a mass of red waves, her skin was almost a grey color and her eyes were a striking red that held so much emotion it made her the easiest thing to read. Her dress was black and shredded in multiple places, the strap on her right side fell away from the mesh collar that wrapped around her neck. There was tear along her side and the bottom of her dress was almost completely torn away on the right side and on the left it was shredded and dragging along the ground. She wore black stockings that could be seen all the way on her right due to the missing fabric, but Like Jack she wasn't wearing shoes. Her dress also held accents of red along the flowing sleeve and collar. The sleeves she had were separated from the dress and made of a mesh material that was torn just as badly as her dress. Jack's eyes lifted back to her face to see her red eyes staring right into his. Her gaze held his captive for what felt like eternity before the little egg managed to struggle out of her hands and both eyes cast to ground to watch the little thing scramble away.

Jack glanced back at the girl and cleared his throat drawing her attention, "See?" He asked, "I told you you could do it." He laughed and Morana smiled gently.

"With eggs." She added with a laugh, "Hardly the most living creature I would encounter." She said as her eyes turned back to the egg.

"We'll work our way up to that." Jack said confidently, "You'll be able to control them perfectly when I'm done." She simply laughed and turned to him with a serious expression.

"I could do it with an egg, Jack," she sighed and her eyes fell to the floor, "what if I can't do it with something bigger?" She asked in a pained voice as she hugged herself.

Jack walked slowly to her and reached out to put a hand on her shoulder, but his arm froze in the air when she flinched away from his touch. He sighed and looked out the window, his eyes widening at the lights that shot across the sky. Morana looked at the spirit and followed his gaze, Jack turned back to her with an apologetic look, "Duty calls." he said as he ran to the window. He stopped and turned around, "I'll be back soon, keep practicing." He said with a smile as his staff pointed to the egg running into a wall. Morana looked behind her to see the sight and laughed before turning back to Jack with a smile on her face and nodding as Jack shot off towards the pole.


Jack selt a smile break across his face as he flew away, Morana was finally trusting him and even better, she was learning how to control her powers so she doesn't have to fear them anymore. He flew quickly through the sky as thoughts of what to try next to help her filled his mind and before he knew it the workshop was within his sights and he sped up as he saw the open window North left for him. He dove in and stood to find North standing at the controls with none other than Pitch Black.

Jack's expression immediately turned to a glare as his staff rose in defense, "What is he doing here?"

"Are you not happy to see me?" Pitch taunted, before looking at the stern look on North's face, "I need your help." he said looking down at the ground.

Jack laughed and lowered his staff to rest against it, "And why would we help you?" he asked and looked to North expecting to see the same amused look. But it wasn't there. "North?"

North sighed, "Pitch has explained situation to me, and we must help him."

"What's the situation?" Jack asked in anger.

Pitch cleared his throat before speaking, "I had in my care a being of great power, one that has the ability to take life itself," Jack's breath hitched, "She came into my care when she first took the lives of over fifty million people with her powers. I have kept both her and others safe for hundreds of years. But a couple days ago, she escaped. She shadow travelled to the south pole but by the time I got there she was gone. I need your help in recovering her before she takes the lives of more innocent people." Pitch said with his head hung low, "It is my fault she escaped and I need to find her. If not for her own protection."

Jack observed Pitch carefully to see if he could find any insincerity in his voice of face, but there was none. The man seemed honestly worried for Morana. Jack looked to North who nodded and sighed in defeat, "I know where she is." He said.

Pitch looked up suddenly with an anxious look, "You do?"

Jack nodded, "I found her in a cave half frozen so I took her back to my home. I have been teaching her how to control her powers." He explained suddenly very interested in Pitch's concern.

Pitch laughed, "You poor boy," He said, "She already knows how to control her powers, she is just using you to escape and allow herself to wreck havoc among the world again. Do you know what she does when you are not around?" He asked carefully and Jack looked to the ground. Could Pitch be telling the truth? It did seem rather odd that she was able to stop herself from killing the egg so easily when she had spent so long tell Jack she couldn't do it. But the look on her face when she did, that look of wonder and excitement couldn't possibly be faked, could it? He wrestled with his mind as the questions flowed through his min, looking for the truth. "Jack," Pitch interrupted his train of thought, "I am just trying to keep her safe, that is all." Jack sighed and nodded his head.

The three walked down to the Sleigh where North flew off towards the south pole. Jack sat in the back and thought of what was happening while Pitch stood stoically at the front by North.

'She believes in me in a way no one else has or will, and I'm betraying her. And she doesn't even know, she still thinks that when I get back it will be just me and we will continue on with her teaching, if she even really needs it. But even if she doesn't I am helping the person she escaped from find her. But what if all she had told me was a lie and she did run away to cause damage to the world? She wouldn't would she? Although Pitch did sound sincere and what he said makes sense. But if this is right why do I feel so guilty?

They landed and as Jack hopped out of the sleigh and made his way towards the castle the answer to his question rang loud in his mind. Because she trusts him. His steps faltered and he slowed to a stop with the castle in sight. He turned to Pitch, "Let me just go get her." He said, turning back and taking a step before Pitch shouted suddenly.

"No." He said and Jack turned back to see him frantically shaking his head, "No, it is much to dangerous, let me go in." He said and tried to walk past Jack before Jack stuck his staff out infant of him.

"Why are you so determined to make sure no one else sees her?" Jack asked darkly and Pitch sputtered out a useless response, "You lied, didn't you?" Jack asked as North walked up behind Pitch, effectively blocking any escape. "She didn't run away because she wanted to hurt people, she ran away because she wanted you to stop hurting her." Jack said as Pitch started to nervously back away only to run into North's broad chest. "I can't believe I fell for it."

Pitch looked back to Jack and smile broke onto his face, "But you did." He laughed as he suddenly fell into the shadows on the ground and was gone.

Jack looked around frantically before turning to look at the castle, "No." he said as he ran into the structure, hoping that he could get to Morana before Pitch did.


Aren't I just mean? Anyways, I thought the eggs would be fun thing for Jack to test and it also leads to the plot of future chapters. I hope you enjoyed and I apologize for the late update, but that's why the chapter is so long. Please leave a review as I am self-centered and thrive off of the praise. Also it makes me update faster.

The Freak is out of here! :)
