Yo! I really loved writing this chapter so hopefully you will enjoy reading it!
I don't own Rise of the Guardians so please take your time and enjoy the ride.
The three walk around the grey palace that is Pitch's liar.
"So are plan is to stick together, right Jack?"
Jack doesn't look at Stein but continues to look around at the cages and stairs, holding his staff tightly, "Pitch likes to play mind games, separating would not be good."
"That sounds like Pitch," Bunny said with a dry chuckle.
"Yeah, I experienced it first hand last time...wasn't pleasant."
The atmosphere shifted to become much more awkward so the three walked in silence, Stein walking slightly ahead and Jack tailing behind the two.
"AH!"
Bunny and Stein quickly turned as they heard Jack scream and saw him getting quickly swallowed by the shadows.
He looked at Bunny, who could see the fear in Jack's eyes, fear that Jack was trying to cover up with determination, "Find Alice!"
Bunny moved quickly and stretched his paw forward, trying to grab Jack's hand, but he just missed him and Jack disappeared completely into the darkness.
Bunny cursed under his breath and both tensed more as Pitch's laugh echoed through the room. Both began to get sucked into separate portals and Stein looked over to Bunny.
"Find Jack! I'll find Alice!"
"Got it! Meet above near the tunnel mate!"
Both nodded at each other before they finally disappeared from view.
Jack fell into a cage that was alone in a large room, he stood up slowly, realizing soon that his staff was gone.
"Pitch! Give me back my staff Pitch!"
"Now why would I do that?"
Jack turned to look at Pitch who stood on the other side of the cage, glaring harshly at the man who seemed very amused by what was happening.
"I just knew kidnapping the girl would bring you to me, my beloved Jack."
Jack felt as though he wanted to vomit, "I am not yours!"
"Then who do you belong to, the rabbit? News flash Jack, he hates you."
Jack gripped one of the cage's bars and looks at the floor sadly, in a whisper he says, "I...don't belong to anyone."
Pitch walks closer, "But you do wish to belong to him, to be his snowflake. Don't you Jack?"
"I...I don't..."
Pitch leaned forward and grabbed Jack by the chin, bring up his face, "Oh Jack how I've missed you."
Jack looked directly into Pitch's eyes and glared, "Well I haven't missed you."
Pitch chuckled and moved his hand to cup the side of Jack face, Jack pushed Pitch back.
"Don't touch me!"
Pitch became slightly annoyed and grabbed one of Jack's wrists, pulling him to him, "This is my lair, I make the rules."
Jack tried to use his other hand to push Pitch away, but Pitch refused to allow the space, Jack eventually stops and glares at Pitch, "If I had my staff-"
"Ah yes, but you don't have your staff, I have it," Pitch said with a smirk.
Pitch towered over Jack and brought his other hand up to cup the teen's face, "You'll be mine Jack...soon you'll be mine."
"I refuse to let that happen."
"I got you easy enough this time, another won't be so hard. Of course if that rabbit gets in the way..."
Jack's glare falters for a moment and Pitch chuckles at the concern that was shown for a moment, "...I'll just kill him."
"You can't kill Bunny."
"And why not?"
Jack looks at Pitch, "He's stronger than you."
"If he is then why did he almost lose to me last time, if not for you he would have died."
"It's been ten years Pitch, you're not the only one who got stronger."
Pitch moved his hand from Jack's face to wrap around the teen's lower back, pulling Jack's body right up against his. Pitch lowers himself and begins to kiss Jack's neck softly, Jack feels disgusted and his whole body tenses.
"You'll be mine Jack," Pitch says against his neck, "forever. I'll kill all of them to make you mine, especially that rabbit."
"I'll kill him slowly," he kisses Jack's jaw, "and in the most painful way," he kisses Jack's cheek. "I'll give him terrible nightmares, breaking his mind, then breaking his body," Pitch looks at Jack and smirks.
He can see fear in the teen's eyes, a fear that Pitch might win and Bunny might really get killed.
In a weak whisper Jack says, "I won't let you."
Pitch chuckles, "You're my Ice Prince Jack and I will do anything to have you by my side, where you belong."
Jack looked to the side, outside of the cage and tried to regain his composure, though he could feel his body shaking in fear.
Bunny...
During Pitch's sexual harassment Bunny was running through on the twisty stair cases and over the brick bridges trying to find Jack.
"Jack! Oi Jack!" Bunny called out, they were already caught so sneaking around was useless.
Bunny continued to run, continued to yell for Jack but no one yelled back and Bunny was starting to lose some hope.
"First Alice, then you let Jack slip right through your paw, way to go self," Bunny said with self loathing.
"Ah so true."
Bunny spun around to see Pitch, but upon closer inspection Bunny could tell it wasn't really Pitch at all but a sand clone.
"What are you?"
The sand Pitch moved toward Bunny with a smirk, "I'm a clone of Pitch, made of sand. I am also tied to him and I must say he is enjoying what you're going through."
Bunny takes him boomerangs, "Well tell Pitch to give Jack back!"
"Oh he's heard you and his answer is 'no'. Jack belongs to Pitch and thus it is only right for Jack to stay here."
"Jack doesn't belong to anyone!"
"Ah but don't you wish that he could be yours-"
"Stop talking!" Bunny threw one of his boomerangs forward but the sand Pitch simple moved to the side, easily avoiding the weapon. Bunny, however, smirked as he saw the boomerang turn and head toward Pitch again.
"Now where was I...ah yes," the boomerang finally collided with Pitch's back but instead of hurting the clone a whole simply opened up and the boomerang passed through. The smirk on Bunny's face faded as he caught the boomerang, "You want him to be your snowflake. To be able to protect him from everything..."
Bunny narrowed his eyes at the smirking clone, "You want to protect him but yet you can't even grab his hand, and you can't even save him now...even though he is shaking in fear."
Bunny's look turned to one of confusion and anger, "What have you done? What has Pitch done?!"
"He hasn't done anything, he is, however, claiming what is his. His beloved Ice Prince shall be his and there is nothing you can do about it rabbit."
"I refuse to let that happen."
Pitch gave a little chuckle, "Well isn't that interesting, Jack said the same thing and yet now he's-"
Before the sand Pitch could finish his statement Bunny had already run out of the room.
"Look at me Jack," Pitch said harshly as he grabbed his chin and force Jack to look from the side to him.
Jack tried to glare and be angry but he was too afraid, afraid of what was happening.
Pitch smirked as he pushed Jack on to the cage floor and straddled his hips.
"Ow! Get off me!" Jack struggled underneath Pitch and used his free hand to punch Pitch in the chest.
Pitch simply grabbed his hand and used one to hold both of Jack's hands above him, Jack continued to struggle.
Pitch chuckled as he brought his other hand down and glided inside Jack's hoodie, touching the other's bare stomach and chest.
Jack stopped his struggling as he felt Pitch's disgusting hand begin to touch his bare torso, he felt as though he would never have enough soap in the world to feel clean again.
Pitch leaned his face closer to Jack's and smiled, "You're so...cold Jack."
Jack cringed and felt a pain in his chest, he was always cold...he hated being cold.
"Oh don't despair Jack, to me your coldness is a great feeling, forget about that rabbit...only thing of me."
Jack looked away from Pitch and again looked outside of the cage toward a door, and for a minute he thought he could hear someone screaming his name. However, the hope in his eyes soon died, he must have heard things...
"Jack!"
Jack's eyes widened and he instantly screamed, "Bunny! Bunny I'm in here! Bun-!"
Pitch put his hand over Jack's mouth and glared at the teen and then glared at the door as it opened.
Bunny continued to run around aimlessly, screaming Jack's name. Thankfully the clone was gone and had yet to return but Bunny still couldn't help but worry over what Pitch was doing to Jack, his Jack-
Bunny shook his head, "He's not yours," though he wished he could say the opposite.
He rounded another corner and sniffed the air, looking for Jack's scent.
"Why does this place have to be a goddamn maze?!"
He sniffed the air again and hope blossomed in him as he caught a little of Jack's scent, he quickly ran into that direction, jumping off of bridges and quickly up and down stair cases.
"Jack!"
Nothing, he continued to run.
"Jack!"
"Bunny! I'm in here Bunny! Bun-!"
Bunny stops running and turns to face a door, he opens it and sees Pitch glaring at him and under him is Jack.
"Jack!" Bunny runs forward and grips the bars of the cage sitting on the floor.
Pitch's glare turns into an evil smirk, "I told you rabbit," Pitch moves his hand from Jack's mouth to push up his hoodie, he begins to touch Jack's bare torso in Bunny's view, "there is nothing you can do."
Jack looks from Bunny to Pitch, "Let go of me!"
Jack's voice cracks slightly and Bunny' grip on the bars tightens, Pitch looks from Bunny down to Jack and leans forward so there faces are only inches apart.
"Don't touch him!"
Pitch ignores Bunny's screams and ignores the creaking of the cage as he moves closer and closer until...he blacks out and falls over.
Jack looks from the knocked out Pitch to Bunny who catches one of his boomerangs with ease, two of the bars are bent to form a whole.
Jack looks up at the cage's top and covers his eyes with one of his arms, he should be happy and smiling now but...he's still afraid and his heart hurts. Icy tears form at his eyes but he holds them back from falling, "You took too long."
Bunny moves into the cage and over to Jack, who doesn't remove his arm to look at him, "Sorry Snowflake...I'm sorry."
Jack lets out a quiet whimper then a very deep sigh as if steeling himself, "What about Alice?"
Bunny looks down at the fragile looking teen below him, "Stein's got it covered."
Jack gives a slight nod then moves him arm to the side to wipe his tears, he stands after a minute and Bunny looks into his blue frosty eyes. They still look afraid and broken but a look of determination is trying to cover over it.
"I need to get my staff."
Bunny nods and the two hurry out of the room leaving the unconscious Pitch.
When they excite the room Jack stops, confusing Bunny, and runs a hand through his hair, "You've got to be kidding me."
"What is it?"
Jack sighs and walks to the door next to the one they just exited, he opens it and inside are two emergency snow-globes that Jack brought and his staff.
"Pitch is an idiot."
Jack gives a soft smile and for a while Bunny can see amusement in his eyes again, Jack walks over and grabs his belongings.
He turns back to Bunny, "Well it is Pitch, now can we get out of here?"
"Yea, let's go."
Gah, I really hate Pitch so much! Anyway, if you haven't guessed by now this story hints at some Jackrabbit but I have no intention of finalizing it and having them together until the sequel. So, hope you all enjoyed this chapter!
