"Would you look at this" Jack said fascinated that he got one of the nightmares with his ice. Poking at it with curious eyes.
"You know Jack for a neutral party: you spend a lot of time with those weirdoes. This isn't your fight." Pitch crept behind Jack from the shadows making Jack jump in fear.
"You made it my fight when you stole those teeth." Jack exclaimed with frustration covering his voice.
"The teeth? Why do you care for the teeth?" finding in to the darkness then popping up behind Jack, once again scaring him.
"It's none of your concern, just Hand them over. Now!" Jack demanded.
Pitch looked Jack up and down, left to right, then, an idea came to mind, if killing sandy doesn't work out then, yes that would be just fine. Laughing at his brilliant plan B, he forgotten that Jack was still there.
"What's so funny Pitch?!" Jack shouted at him angrily catching Pitch's attention.
Looking back at Jack the thought of his plan setting into motion nearly made him laugh once again but didn't. Colleting himself and being the sly slippery bastard he is, he weaves away from his secret plan.
"The thing that's funny is that you, Jack Frost telling me, the boogie man to hand over the teeth as if I am inferior to you. Ha, you and what army; you're nothing more than a nuisance to them, a bug that needs to be squashed. Don't make me laugh. Ha-ha."
Losing his temper he froze Pitches' feet to the ground and presses his staff up under his chin. Silence came over the two but for different reasons, for Jack finding something insulting to say at Pitch, but for Pitch it was just out of surprises that Jack of all things was able to catch him in his tracks literally.
"So now what? You going to kill me? You can't kill fear Jack. So just face it, you and your little friends are too late." He spoke with impertinence covering his voice.
"Tsk" Jack glared at him "What do you mean we're too late? What are you playing at? ANSER ME PITCH!"
"Ha-ha you'll find out soon little Jacky"
"wha…"
"JACK!" Tooth's voice came from above.
"Tooth?" Jack replied taking his eyes off of Pitch.
"JACK LOOK OUT! BEHIND YOU!" turning around to see one of Pitch's nightmares running at him. Ducking out of the way, the black horses aimed at Pitch setting him free from the ice. Looking down at Jack he gave a smirk then fades off into the darkness.
"Jack are you ok? You're not hurt are you?!"Tooth ask quickly while flying to his side.
"Ya, ya I'm fine" Jack spoke angrily without knowing.
"Jack" Tooth spoke softly "Did Pitch say something that upset you?"
"What? No it's nothing, sorry guess I'm just angry at myself for letting him getting away." Jack didn't meet her eyes. Jack thought about telling the others what had happened and about what Pitch had said but decided not to for it will only cause worry and doubt among the group.
"It's not your fault Jack; it could have happened to any of us." Tooth stroked Jack's shoulder.
"Not me"
"Bunny!" Tooth snap
"It's ok Tooth besides at least I didn't dream of dancing carrots with candy canes." Jack gave a cheeky smirk as if taunting Bunny.
"What, how do you know-"being cut off by the laugher of the others.
"Come lets head back to the pole where done here right sandy." North turn to him to reserve thrums up.
Returning to the pole North, Bunny, Tooth and Sandy headed to the globe room to discuss what to do to get Tooth's little helpers back. "Jack aren't you coming?" Tooth asked. "Ya, I'll be there in a minute I just got to do something." Jack replied.
"What is it I could help?"
"Tooth I'm sure that Jack can do it himself; right Jack." North cut in knowing that Tooth's been smothering Jack since she found out that no one cooks for him.
"Ya, besides Tooth I'm Just going to make a sandwich that's all." Giving a smile then a wave wondering off to the kitchen.
Reaching the kitchen a sudden shiver went down his spine as if someone was watching him. Shaking it off, he got the ingredients for his sandwich: the bread, the meat and of course the cheese. Making his food at the counter that faced north, when a sudden crash caught his attention. Grabbing his staff he swung around to face the intruder when a small elf came out in a daze his friends fallow not too long after. Stunned at himself to be startled by the elf's trying to get into something they weren't allowed to. Walking to them the elves shrank back thinking that Jack would tell North that they were being bad. He looked around the counter to see a very colorful jar in the shape of an egg with no lid. 'It must have been a gift from Bunny.' Jack thought. Looking at the elves with a cheeky grin he picked up a cookie that had been split into pieces and handed it one by one to the tinny helpers "Don't get me into any trouble for giving you guys this, ok" he spoke in a whisper as if North was just outside the door. Giving a salute to Jack they march out of the room.
Giving a chuckle at the elves silly march as if they were soldiers going off to war with pieces of cookies as weapons. Jack stood up and headed back to finish his sandwich; he then laid his staff on the counter to his left. Jack was careful not to freeze the bread and cheese for no one likes soggy food. Science Jack freezes everything he touches he always had to be careful about what he touched. Jack was almost done with his food when another sound from behind made its presents. Sighing deeply for the knowing that the others would what some cookies to. "Look little guys" he paused turning around pitching the bridge of his nose "I can't give all of you coo…kies" he slowed his speech when he felt a hot breath ghosting over his face. Opening his eyes slowly he meets the eyes of a black horse. Through his fear he recognizes that it was one of Pitches nightmares. The cold yellow eyes with black sand particles floating around it. Waves are carved into its sandy body. 'How did one of Pitches nightmares get in?' Jack thought.
Speechless of the sight, the over whelming urge to scream for help that clawed at Jack's throat never made sound; for two hands with long fingers wrapped itself around Jacks neck cutting off his breathing. Jack's eyes widen then clenched, his hands shot up to try and pull away at the hand around his throat, but to no avail. Jack gasped for air, his vision darkening, but jack's stubbornness would not let him give up so easily. Jack saw a small elf stumbling into the kitchen oblivious to what is happening. The elf made his way to the cookie jar trying to get a cookie from the same cookie Jar that the others got into. An idea came to Jack even though Bunny might kill him for it but he was going to risk it. The hands tightened. Jack reached for his staff in a haze. Gripping the staff tightly as he could, he aimed at the oblivious elf hoping that he would hit the jar and not just the elf. The staff glowed a soft blue then fired a light that turned to ice to anything that it hit.
There was a loud crash. Looking back the horse it stood as if nothing had happened 'It didn't even flinch' Jack thought before gasping again for air. The horse squeezed tighter and tighter each time raising Jack into the air. Jack's feet were dangling before long then the next thing that he knew he fell to the ground with a hard thud and knocking the air that was left in his lungs out making him lose consciousness. The last thing that Jack remembers was a boomerang cutting the arms off the demon horse.
