"Okay I'm. My frame rate is working and I'm going to go check... OHHH!"

"BWAAAHAAAHA!"

"That was great!"

"Yeah I know!"

It was a normal day at Bennett's house... Well if by normal it depends on the season. At the moment it was winter & Jamie as well as his younger sister, Sophia's friend since childhood, Jack Frost was there. Sophia was 15(1) now, her brother Jamie was in collage now but lived at home to help take care of their mom, who had become bed ridden a year ago. They still had contact with Jack & the other guardians of childhood as did Jamie's friends who lived close by. In a way the guardians were their family just like Jack.

Back on subject, Jack was visiting the Bennett's and was currently watching people on YouTube play horror games. Some were strange, other just screeched & made annoying comments but there were some that were funny. For example one of the guys had chosen to get drunk during part of their play through. While they were drunk they tried to kill the player character, ended up stoping at a point & read the back of an anime DVD, even quite the game & started playing Minecraft. They saw some of the guy's minecraft videos(luckily he wasn't drunk) which they also enjoyed. Eventually Sophie tried her hand at some of the horror games -which she had downloaded & or bought- to test her courage. For the most part they both freaked out but the games were enjoyable. Then Sophie made Jack play some of the more scary ones.

While Sophie had freaked out a little, Jack on the other hand had nearly jumped onto the ceiling for some parts. Sophie had noticed this but also noticed something she hadn't before ...

"Hey Jack, are you ok? You've been holding your breath the whole time..."

Jack finally calmed down & looked at the blond with a confused look.

"What do you mean?"

"Well I just noticed how you chest wasn't moving & though you were holding your breath."

That statement made Jack even more confused.

"I've... Never had to breath before... As far as I can remember when I became a spirit... I've seen the other guardians breath but I don't think I can..." Jack finished the last part a little dazed by the confusion before saying "Maybe it's because of how I died?..."

This made Sophie be the confused one now.

"Wait what? Died? Weren't you always a winter spirit? I once heard the others mentioned they became spirits over time."

Jack snapped out of the daze & looked a little distant now, as well as upset.

"N...no... I used to live here in town during the colonial period(2)..."

"Wah?! Really?" Sophie asked surprised by finding this out. That meant Jack could have been or known her ancestors. She was brought back to reality when she noticed Jack about to lose it.

"I... I was ice skating with my sister... T-The ice cracked... I got her to safety but ended up drowning..."

At this point Jack lost it & fell to the floor crying. He may have been able to keep everything locked up for so long especially when it came to being alone for thousands of years(3 to be exact but I shouldn't be talking right now) but that didn't matter at the moment.

Sophie felt guilty about what had happened. It was her fault that Jack was having an emotional meltdown right now. She went over to the winter spirit & hugged him, hoping to at least comfort the albino.

A while later Jack had calmed down. Sophie didn't try to ask anymore about Jack's past knowing perfectly well he might have another break down. A couple hours later it was time for Jack to leave. Saying their good byes, Jack left through the window back to North's place.

As Jack was flying by he saw something pass by. Going down to see it, he noticed it was Aster. Jack wasn't in the mood to prank the Easter bunny so he just floated down to see if he could talk to Aster. What Jack didn't know was that Aster was in a bad mood. Aster had just got away from some prankster spirits(3) & didn't really want to talk to anyone right now. All Aster wanted to do was go home & calm down. To bad he wasn't getting a break today.

"Hey Aster!"

"*Sigh* Wha'is it Frostbite?..."

"What's wrong Kangaroo?"

"None of ya business."(4)

"Come on, what's wrong?"

"No..."

"Aster just talk to me! Maybe I can help..."

"I SAID NO!"

SMACK!

At that moment Aster looked shock & looked up at Jack, who was floating a little. Jack was holding the side of his cheek... That Bunnymund had slapped out of anger.

"J-Jack... I, I didn't..."

Jack left as fast as he could before Aster finished. Aster watched, knowing he could have handled that better. Jack was only bugging him to get Aster to open up. Aster wanted to kick himself right now for what happened.

"Maybe I should go apologize to Jack..." Aster mumbled to himself but kind of hit himself knowing Jack could be any where in the woods. But then he remembered that today was the last day of winter so Jack was going to head to North's place. Aster knew his best chance was to meet the albino there & apologize. So with that he made a rabbit hole & headed to the North Pole.

-With Jack-

Jack was crying somewhere in the woods. He didn't want to go to his lake nor did he have the energy to fly to North's after what happened. For a while Jack just sat there, trying to pull himself together. He knew Bunnymund didn't mean it but it still hurt though not as much as what happened to him when he was alive. It was just as much his fault for what happened as Bunny's, it'd probably be best to just wait until the Pooka calmed down to talk.

Finally calming down again Jack got ready to head to North's.

"Leaving so soon?"

That voice... Jack turned around to see a shadowy colored figure.

"Pitch Black..."

There stood Pitch staring down at Jack with a disturbing looking smile. Jack knew Pitch would return after all like the stupid puns go 'you can't kill fear' though Jack did wish there Pitch would disappear & a more kinder & safer boogyman would replace him. Fear is ok for some things like certain rides that he had heard about along with some movies, stories & games but using it to take over the world wasn't right. Snapping out of his thoughts Jack chose to ignore whatever Pitch had been blabbing about & leave that was until some nightmare sand blocked his way.

"Jack, that was rude... I was hoping we could do 'something' together..."

"The way you say it makes me nervous...o_e; Plus why would I do anything with YOU?!"

Jack's only response was more nightmare sand forming around him & the boogyman into a dome. Looking worried & scared now Jack could tell this wouldn't end well. He was really wishing he had gone straight to North's now. The last thing he remembered was Pitch tackling him to the ground before feeling pain.

-Skipping-

Pain... All Jack could feel was pain as he slowly got away. His pants were shredded & blue sticky liquid clung to his lower half from what had happened. Jack used his staff for support as he limped to find a hiding place. Some wind & spring spirits had managed to find Jack while he was out & 'took care' of Pitch while Jack got away.

What Pitch had done to Jack was wrong even for Pitch.

Jack finally made it to a stream somewhere in the middle of place in the woods(which he didn't remember the name of) & collapsed next to it. It was then Jack curled up cried for what seemed like the thousandth time that day. He felt so used... So dirty... So useless... The boogyman had done more than just torture Jack in that dome & Jack was too afraid think about.(He didn't want to remember what happened was an understatement)

Eventually Jack passed out however all he had were nightmares... At some point he was woken up in the middle of the night by little wind spirits that looked at Jack worriedly. Jack just stared blankly at them as though he had given up or had nothing. The wind spirits became even more worried about their friend now. The spirits chattered in little squeaks & whispers that only the nature/weather spirits understood before using the wind to carry Jack to safety. They knew he'd protest if they took him to his guardian friends due to Pitch. So they did the only thing they could do...

They took him to the woodland home of the seasonal spirits...


1) It's a time skip

2) Jack's been ears dropping on school teachings

3) You need to think up what they did because I'm having an idea block for the most part

4) I can do Nightcrawler's accent & I can do Apple Jack's accent(My friend & I had an RP & he likes MLP) but I can't do Bunny's freaking accent!DX
