I'm thinking about renaming this fic, but not sure to what yet...
I'm just not that keen on the title.
What do you think?

Anyway, here's part 2 at last!


My Jack would not hate Easter... :
Part 2: Betrayal:

When the Boogieman and winter spirit had finished their bath, Pitch lifted himself out and lent a hand down to help Jack out as well. They dried themselves with a pair of soft black towels, before Pitch took Jack's to help him dry his hair properly so that the water wouldn't end up freezing to it and his scalp, something that Jack despised. It reminded the younger spirit of flying through rain. It would always freeze on his scalp and feel uncomfortable.
They dressed before leaving the lair on the back of one of Pitch's largest Nightmares. Jack had actually found he'd become somewhat attached to them; he wasn't sure what it was about these dark creatures, but he felt drawn to them somehow and could understand now the beauty Pitch saw in them. This one in particular, Onyx. She seemed to be Pitch's favourite as well. Unless she was to far away to call upon, which in it's self was unusual since she mostly remained by the Boogieman's side, then he would always choose her when he needed a ride.
As they flew up higher in to the clouds above, Jack let himself slide of and gracefully spun loops around Pitch and Onyx as they continued to fly through wind that grew colder and colder as they went further north. Pitch smiled at him as the boy giggled, letting the wind pull him about playfully.
When they'd nearly reached North's Workshop, Jack sat back down on Onix's back behind Pitch. They landed shortly after, coming to a smooth stop outside the main doors.

"Pitch..?"

"hmm?"

"I'm... kinda nervous here."

"Oh? I couldn't tell. With all the calm staying still you've been doing since I asked you here." Jack mumbled a shut up in Pitch's back making him laugh.
"Come now my dear, I'm only playing. You'll be fine. Everything is going to be okay."
Jumping down from the Nightmare, they advanced to the door and Pitch raised his hand to knock.

"Wait..."

"... Yes?"

"...Do you think... No, nevermind."

"What is it Jack?"

"It's nothing. I just hope we can all, you know, get along." Pitch smiled and leaned down to kiss the boy's forehead.

"For your sake Jack, so do I. Though I can't promise any friendship of sorts, I will try my best. Well, at least so that we may be able to put up with each other to a minimum." Jack smiled back, and Pitch moved to knock, alerting the residence of their arrival. Though he supposed they most likely already knew they were there and only waited for their knocking as a form of upholding formalities, because North opened the large door barely five seconds later.
With a guarded look he nodded to Pitch who gave a nod back, and then smiled down at Jack who smiled nervously back up at him.

"Hello Jack, Pitch. Please, come inside." He moved out of their way and motioned inside. They walked in and North shut the door behind them.
"How are you, Jack?"

"I'm good, thanks. It's nice to see you again, North." He smiled brightly.

"That's good to hear, Jack. It's nice to be seeing you also." North smiled back, but it faltered as he looked down at the darkened patch of skin on Jack's right cheek.
"Please, follow me." He walked forward and, Pitch taking Jack's hand to comfort him, they followed until they were all in a large furnished room that resembled a living-room, where Bunny and Tooth were waiting for them as they talked in hushed tones by the fireplace. When they heard the door shut they both turned to see North closing it as Pitch and Jack walked to the centre of the room. Jack smiled, tightening his grip on his lover's hand before letting go to walk a few more steps closer.

"Jack! It's been so long..!" Toothiana flew forwards and puled Jack into a strong hug, much to Pitch's dislike. But he said nothing and did not move; this was not the time for being overly possessive.

"Tooth! I can't breath!" Letting him out of her strong grip, but still keeping her small hands on his shoulders, she smiled brightly at him and gave a quick apology. She was smiling, but her eyes looked... sad? Maybe she felt bad for them not having seen each other in so long, he thought.
Bunny walked towards him then, but he didn't smile. He just looked... Jack wasn't sure what expression that was, and it made him nervous. It almost looked like pity.

"Hey there, frostbite." Bunny patted his back.
"How ya been?"

"Good... I'm good. I'm, happy to see you guys." Tooth lifted her hand to touch Jack's cheek.

"Jack, sweetie what's this..?" She looked in Jack's eyes and then over his shoulder at Pitch. North looked down at the man who was now glaring back at the Tooth Fairy.

"Yes, mark on cheek; what is it?" Pushing Tooth's hand away, Jack turned around to look at North.

"Oh, this? It's nothing, really. I just fell out of a tree when I was messing around, that's all."

"You are sure..?"

"Yes! It's nothing, really. It'll be gone by tomorrow. Doesn't even hurt, see?" He poked at it and smiled best he could, wanting them to just leave it alone. He couldn't let them suspect it was Pitch; even if it was. Pitch didn't mean to hurt him; this was nothing, at least, not when it came to how Pitch use to treat him, and he didn't want them thinking bad of their relationship. But they didn't seem completely convinced...
Glancing around the room he realised someone was missing.
"Hey... where's Sandy?" North walked up to Jack, his large frame blocking his view of Pitch, and the exit.

"Sandy, he be here very soon." He placed his hands on Jack's shoulders, gently squeezing, the weight a lot heavier that those of Tooth's. It was comforting, but at the same time he was starting to feel a little suffocated between the three Guardians around him.
"Jack, I want you to know we are sorry, sorry for not being there for you like we should have. But we are here now, and we only want you happy, safe. We are here for you, Jack; we shall help you."

"...What are you talking about?" From behind North he heard a startled gasp and then a bang.
"W-what..?" He shoved past North to see Pitch lying on the floor, unconscious; Sandy stood behind him.
"Pitch!" He tried to run over to him but that same strong grip was back on his shoulders in an instant, keeping him grounded.
"What are you doing?! Let me go!" Sandy walked over Pitch and towards Jack, lifting his hand, a thin line of dream-sand began to make it's way to him.
"No! Sto-stop... y... why... nn..." Everything went black, his body and mind falling under the control of golden sand; but oddly enough there were no dreams to great him when he fell under; nothing to entertain him in his forced sleep. Only sheer darkness.
North stopped his body from falling to the floor and picked him up in his arms.

"Bunny, you take Pitch to cell. Keep eye on him."

"My pleasure."

"Tooth, Sandy, you come with me." North walked out through a door in the other side of the room close to the fireplace, the other two following close behind as Bunny dragged Pitch out of the door he'd come in through.
Pitch, unlike Jack, was dreaming; it was sweet and calming, but it was something he would forget the moment he woke, with only an echo of laughter and a sad sentiment of something, something he would of liked to remember, left to tell him he'd ever even had it at all.

When Pitch began to come to, he felt sick. Hot. Drained. It was incredibly hard to open his eyes, but he knew he had to. He slowly did so, and couldn't comprehend where he was; it was so bright he couldn't see, as if strong white light was pouring in on him from every end, burning at his skin and blinding him. When his eyes adjusted somewhat and his mind was fully awake, he realised that that's exactly what it was. No wonder he felt like he might just die. He was in what seemed to be a square room lined top to bottom, apart from a cool small black circle he sat upon in the centre, with lights. He could barely see and it hurt to move, but he could just make out one area of the room where the light was slightly less intense. It appeared to be the exit; a door lined with the same lights save for a panel in which he could only just make out an unmistakable silhouette...

"...Rabbit..!" His voice came out hoarse, his throat too dry.

"Had enough beauty-sleep at last I see?"

"Why... What i-is this..?!" He hadn't felt this weak in so long. Barely able to see, skin burning up, head throbbing painfully; it was as if he had contracted a deadly human illness. But this is what happens when such a being as himself is exposed so drastically to such strong light.
He reached out a hand to examine one of the many lights on the floor, only to pull his hand back when it barely touched what seemed to be a glass surface that covered them all, possible to protect them from being broken by himself. It burnt as if he had touched fire... Bunny chuckled at his efforts as he watched him through the metre or so long and wide area of the door that held no lights so that the room's prisoner could be observed from the outside.

"Yeah, that ain't gonna work, ya mug."

"How dare you do this..! I came to you all, putting my trust in you, something I would never do under any other circumstances, all for Jack's sake... and you fools do this?!"

"Yeah, cause we don't trust ya. Even if ya mean all of what ya said, we can't let frostbite be with ya any longer."

"And what, might I ask, have you done with my said lover..?!" Bunny made a sound of disgust.

"Lover... That what'ya like to call kids who ya manipulate to wantin' to be with ya?"

"I never manipulated him in to wanting me! I became attracted to him and he returned my affection..! I love him; and before you say anything else no not for his body or his power!"

"Sure, whatever. If ya'd really like ta know, North, Sandy n' Tooth are with him in a secure room. Once he's awake they're gonna try and keep him calm and help him realise what ya really are and what ya've done to 'im, no mater how long it takes. We'll make him better, he'll be back on our team, he'll forget about you, and ya can stay in here for the rest of yer sorry life."

"You're... You are all going to regret this..!" Pitch dipped his head as he began to pant. He was finding it very hard to keep this up. He didn't want to look week in front of his enemy, but the heat and pain made it hard to talk correctly. He felt like laying down and closing his eyes, but he forced himself to look back up, squinting from the blinding light.
"You have no idea of what you've done..."

"Oh? Looks to me like we beat ya, again." Bunny laughed.

"I hope your eyes burn out of their sockets from staring in to this damn room for so long..!"

"That ain't gonna happen. Ya see this?" He taped the glass of the door's panel.
"It's no normal stuff. Don't matter how long I enjoy watchin' ya squirm, my eyes'll stay jim-dandy."

"...Fuck you!" Bunny just laughed again and lifted something up that blocked what little view Pitch had of him before more light filled that now black shape on the door. He must have closed a panel of some sort...
Letting his head rest on the cool black circle of floor beneath him, Pitch took a shaky breath and couldn't help but fear that he may be stuck in this painful room for a very long time; but even worse, they might just make Jack hate him...
He couldn't loose him; he just couldn't...

Bunny walked to a different room; when he got there he stood beside North.

"Is he secure?"

"Oh yeah, that room's workin' just as planed."

"Good."

"Listen mate, I gotta go, Easter's tomorrow and I've gotta make sure everything's in order. But I'll be back before I start my rounds of bringing the nippers their eggs to see how Jackie's doin'."

"Alright. We see you tomorrow."

"Yeah, see ya'." Bunny turned to look at the corner of the room where the Sandman sat and said his goodbye, before stomping his paw on the ground, leaving through a tunnel.
North stood in front of a heated door, looking in to a room with heated walls. In the centre, on a panel meant to keep the centre of the room freezing, was Jack shouting at Tooth as she tried to calm him down. He'd just woken up, far from happy and throwing threats around. After a few minutes she exited as Jack tried but failed to follow as he shouted at her, unable to walk more than a step off the cold area of the room.

"Come back here! Let me out! I'll make you all pay for this..! As soon as I get out of here you're dead! You hear me?! I'll make you pay for this you bastards!" Tooth shut the door without looking back, her head down.

"Was this really needed, North?" She looked up, tears in her eyes. North sighed, putting a hand on her shoulder.

"With how darkness has changed him, Jack is too dangerous. Unstable. To that we can see Pitch told truth. We had no choice, Tooth."

"But you heard him... He hates us. How are we suppose to help him when we've betrayed his trust and taken his lover away? He won't listen to anything we say..."

"Jack does not mean what he says, darkness caused by Pitch makes him feel this way. We need to find way to take away that darkness, and then he will listen. We will find way, this is promise." Tooth nodded, though her facial expression stayed the same, sad and doubtful. She had a terrible feeling that this was not the answer, but fuel for the black fire that Jack had fallen in to.
And she had to resist going to Pitch to ask forgiveness and beg he help them save Jack, even if that would now be far fetched... It's just that she had the nagging feeling that Pitch, for once, had done nothing wrong, at least not on purpose; and that he truly loved and wanted Jack to be safe.
When she was in that room with Jack, she felt a sort of aura around him, something alien to who Jack was, but more than what North thought it to be, something that did not belong, not just to Jack, but to this world. Something that tells you you're not safe that she should have felt around a different spirit, but no longer did.
Toothiana was scared.
She was terrified,
of Jack Frost.


So there's part 2~
Originally it was to be longer, but I decided to cut it in two, ending this chapter here so that I could get it out now; cause wow I haven't released a new chapter in forever...
WARNING! It's going to get a lot more dark from here on...

I promise I haven't given up on any of my BlackIce fanfictions, PitchJack is still my OTP~ Infact soon I'll have a new one coming out called Brutal Beasts! (though you'll only be able to read that over on my AO3 account when I let it out, because it's too explicit for this site) I just had a long break because, well life and me stuff, and work was stressful and they were overworking me and not paying me on time... I'll hopefully get properly back in to the swing of things with fanfictions and drawings, now that I've quite my job and am working part time from home (I'm a tattoo artist and piercer if you were wondering) I now have more time for me.

Thanks for reading, please leave a comment and tell me what you think~
