Nightmares (part 1)

Rating for this chapter: T (for mentions of blood)

Darkness…. Fear…. That's all he could feel at the moment. The world around him was dark and cold and lifeless. The other guardians were motionless on the ground, covered in blood. His hands were covered in the blood of this fellow guardians… had he done this? Why did this happen? How did this happen?

Then the said guardians looked over to him.

"How could you?"

"You did this!"

"Why? Why i thought we were friends?"

"Just as Ah' thought. Yer just as untrustworthy as that son of a cockroach, pitch black."

Jack woke with a shout. He looked frantically around the room. He realized he was just dreaming…

"It was just a dream…. Just a really bad dream…." Jack told himself. He wrapped his arms around himself, he took a deep breath.

Just as he was about to leave the room the other guardians came rushing through the door.

"Jack what's wrong?!"

"We heard you shout!"

"Ya okay frostbite?"

Sandy was making lots of sand images.

Jack sighed.

"Yeah guys I- I'm fine… just a… um… had a crazy dream is all…" Jack hugged himself tighter.

This action did not go unnoticed.

"Ya had a nightmare, didn't cha Jack?" Bunny stated.

Jack looked away, but nodded.

"Oh sweet Tooth."

"Why did you no say?"

Sandy made a question mark.

Bunny walked over to Jack.

Jack looked up at Bunny.

"Jacky, wha' excactly did pitch tell ya yesterday when you saw him?"

Jack looked away again. "I- I don't want to talk about it right now… we have bigger problems right now." Jack replied and stood off the bed and made his way past the other guardians to the door.

The others watched him in worry.

"Something must have spooked him, he usually brushes it off as nothing..." Tooth suggested.

"Yeah Ah think yer onto something, sally." Bunny agreed.

North and Sandy nodded, staring at the door the winter spirit had left through.

Jack walked down the hallway. He sighed as he walked into the meeting room. He walked over to a window and opened it. He felt wind rush around him comfortingly.

"Hey wind." he giggled as wind picked him up a pit off the ground. "Nice to see you too."

He then grew silent leaning against the windowsill. The wind calmed and felt as though it was hugging him from behind.

"I'm fine wind… just a bit spooked…." Jack sighed.

Jack then felt a nudge on his chin. He looked down and saw baby Tooth stared worriedly at him.

"Oh hey baby Tooth." Jack smiled at her.

Baby Tooth chirped looking concerned.

"Yes I'm fine baby Tooth…."

He sighed, closing his eyes. Wind brushing his hair comfortingly.

The others walked into the room. They saw Jack leaning against the windowsill with it opened-to Bunny's dismay-and baby Tooth sitting on his shoulder.

They walked into the cold room.

"Jack?" North called.

"Hm? Yeah North?" Jack turned around.

"Very thing alright my boy?"

Jack stared at him for a moment and then smiled. "Yeah… if not… then… I will be…"

"Well we should get back to that planning." Jack suggested.

The others nodded and they all sat down around the large table.

The planning was going a lot better now that they understood what was really happening. The plan was to have Bunny go and talk to mother nature. Figure out what her-their if you count pitch-plan on getting revenge.

"Alright let's go kick some hindy." Bunny shouted standing from his seat.

"What just a tick kangaroo." Jack hulted.

"Bunny." he corrected. "And what should Ah' wait fo'?" Bunny raised an eyebrow.

"How do you plan on getting in?" Jack asked.

"Wha'?"

"How do you plan on getting in to mother's castle. It's twice as guarded as North's place and if they think your there to harm, your dead." Jack stated a matter a factly.

"Ah have ya know frostbite that, mother nature and Ah' go way back." Bunny pointed out.

"Oh i see. Well i guess you haven't thought that she is going to war and she would totally not think your there to stop her, well you being a guardian and all."

Bunny opened his mouth, then closed it and then reopened it to just close it again.

"Mmhmm. That's what I thought."

Bunny rolled his eyes, . "Alright if ya so smart, wha's yer idea frostbite?"

"Well… first thing we need to do is make a distraction. North and Sandy are going to make sand bombs. Then Tooth and her fairies are going to plant the bombs and then you and I Bunny are going to bust in after the bombs go off, and rade mother nature's throne room!" Jack finished posing with his hands in the air.

They all stared at him in shock.

"What?"

"N-nothin', just wasn't expecting the two through plan that might actually work." Bunny replied.

Jack rolled his eyes. "Whatever."

North and Sandy made the sand bombs, Tooth got as many as her little helpers she could spare, and Jack and Bunny got everything they needed to infiltrate mother nature's castle.

After everything was complete, they all set the plan into motion. They flew to mother nature's land, landing just a few feet away from the borderline of her territory. Tooth and her fairies got to work, Tooth directed her fairies outside of the castle, her fairies got to work fast and planted the sand bombs without any problems.

"Alright bombs away!" North yelled. He pressed a button and within seconds the castle was shooting out sand from every window.

"Haha! We did it!" he turned to Jack and Bunny. "Your turn."

They nodded and bombarded the doors of the castle open and dashed to the throne room.

But little did they know that mother nature was not alone in her throne room….
