Chapter 16

Sorry this is so late, I had so much going on but here it is Chapter 16, I hope you guys like this chapter, I love you guys.

"So you and Tooth broke up?" Astrid asked Jack who was helping her put away the sleeping mats, Jack dropped by unexpectedly to the daycare with a sad puppy dog look that Astrid couldn't turn away, the kids loved him anyway so he stayed and helped her out until their parent came to get them. Now alone in her daycare she could finally get Jack talking about his sudden appearance.

"I don't think we were ever official to begin with," he sighed tucking in the sleeping mats into the closet, "I'm not going to be able to see her until this whole James thing blows over and after I said we can keep in contact she thought it would be better if we be friends during this time so she can focus on taking care of the girls and school work," he explained to Astrid, Astrid sighed and placed a comforting hand on Jack's shoulder.

"I mean could you blame her" Aster asked rhetorically, "If I was going to have a boyfriend I would want to spend time with him and not worry that his mobster brother was going to end up killing me or something." She joked trying to lighten up the mood.

"That's just it," Jack groaned, "James ruins everything, everything I love or even like James swoops in and ruins it" Jack ranted turning to face Astrid, "It's like he gets off knowing how easy it is for him to ruin my life" Jack continued kicking a toy on the floor in anger, "It's like my life is a fly he's ripped the wings off of and now he's just picking at it to mess with it until he gets bored and finally kills it."

"Wow, you just used a metaphor, you must be really pissed" Astrid mocked as she picked up the toys on the ground and walked over to the toy bin and dropped them in, "Well you know what I think you should do," Astrid said putting her hands on her hips, "I think he should confront James, I think you have to finally let the bad blood between you two dry and get him the help he needs." She explained shifting on her feet, "I remember a time when James was just as cool as you, Frosty maybe even more and I think that changed when he met Pitch." Astrid continued, "I know if James never met Pitch, he would've been a much better person, he just needs someone to remind him of who he used to be and get him the help he desperately needs." She said sternly.

"James isn't the easiest person to come in contact with," Jack sighed running his fingers through his hair "and even if he was James would never admit he needs help." Jack continued stuffing his hands into his pockets, "He is just as stubborn as I am if not more." Jack let out staring at the ground; he looked up at Astrid who rolled her eyes.

"He just needs to know you're on your corner," Astrid said walked up to Jack, "he needs to know you're not his enemy, he needs to know you forgive him for what he's done and you're there to help him." Astrid said stabbing Jack's chest with her finger, "James was always the type of person who needed to hear that he was wanted, and maybe that's why he got so close to Pitch because Pitch actually made him feel wanted." Astrid continued as she kept poking her finger on his chest, Jack sighed and nodded, he knew that Astrid had a point and that he need to confront James once and for all but he wasn't sure he really wanted to.

"What am I supposed to do hunt him down tie him up and tell him look James you're sick and I'm going to get you help and you need to trust me even though I've told you many times I hate you and wish you were dead and instead of Emma." Jack muttered out hating himself a little more remembering the countless times those words escaped his mouth.

"Maybe not tie him up but yes talk to him," Astrid said placing her hands on his shoulder, "It's either that or runaway again." She sighed staring into his blue eyes, "And I know you don't want to do that again." She said giving him a comforting smile.

"I don't even know how I can contact him," Jack sighed out, "he always finds me."

"I'm sure you can find a way, Frosty." Astrid said squeezing his shoulders a bit, he nodded and she let go of his shoulders, suddenly his phone started to vibrate and he picked up, Astrid let go of his shoulders and walked towards the rest of the toys on the floor.

"Hello," he said as he picked up.

"Hello Jackson," a sickening familiar voice said through the phone.

"I was just talking about you, James." Jack admitted gritting his teeth.

"Oh were you," James chuckled, "I was just calling to ask you if you knew where Miss Fairy was?" James asked Jack could hear him smirk through the phone.

"It's none of your business, James." Jack growled.

"Oh but it is," James chuckled again, "You see I found her little sister just wondering about, didn't I sweetie?" he asked chuckling, Jack could hear a whimper on the other side of the phone and his heart dropped, James had Baby Tooth. "So you see Jackson, I think it's best you tell me where Miss Fairy is so she doesn't go completely mad when she realizes she lost her little sister." James chuckled, Jack growled, James was a sick individual and he would go as far as he had to, to get his target that's why he was Pitch's right hand man, he was just as sick and deprived as Pitch was.

"James, she isn't part of this, I'm the one you want, just let her go." Jack pleaded with his brother hoping the little bit of his brother would hear him.

"Oh I will," James sighed, "Once you tell me where Miss Fairy is of course, or you could always come get her yourself." James said, and Jack knew he was smirking again.

"Where are you?" Jack asked balling his fists.

"Guess, you know me pretty well." James chuckled before hanging up the phone, Jack growled before heading to the door.

"What happened?" Astrid asked following her furious friend.

"That bastard kidnapped one of Tooth's sisters." Jack growled at her, "I'm going to kill him."

"Jack you have to think rationally, you have to call the police." Astrid said following him out of the daycare.

"If he sees cops he'll run and he'll take her with him," Jack explained, "Pitch taught him how to get out of situations like this," Jack continued as he opened his car door, "I'm going to drag him to the cops bloody and broken if I have to but he's not getting away with this." Jack growled hopping into his car, "I need you to do me a favor and call Tooth and tell her I'm going to get Baby Tooth back." He said before slamming his car door and driving off. Jack knew exactly where his brother would be, James had a thing for horror movies, he was going to be somewhere a horror movie was going to take place and the only place Jack could think of was the cabin their father owned, he drove full speed towards the cabin. Once he arrived the sun was completely gone from the sky and the forest was even more eerie than it always been, this place brought back horrible memories, not too far from the cabin was where Emma died, Jack was ready to face his brother, he was ready to tear his brother apart. Jack walked into the cabin that was lit by candles; James and Baby Tooth were nowhere to be found. "James?" Jack called out.

"Jack!" Jack heard from behind him, he turned around to see Baby Tooth running right towards him, Jack crouched down and hugged her tightly, she hugged him back and giggled, "When did you change your hair?" she asked pulling on his hair as she hugged him, "I thought you changed it to black?" she questioned letting go of him.

"No, Baby Tooth I didn't," Jack sighed, "Are you okay?" he asked looking over her to see if James did anything to her.

"I'm fine, Jack," Baby Tooth giggled, "Why are acting so weird all of a sudden?" Baby Tooth asked in her confusion, "You said you were going to bring me Ice Cream where is it?" she asked tilting her head slightly.

"Baby Tooth, the man who brought you here wasn't me," Jack explained to the seven year old who giggled.

"Don't play games Jack I know it was you, you said so," the seven year old giggled, "we were playing the games we played at my house, and you were even telling the same jokes." She explained with a comforting smile on her face. Jack let out a sigh of relief, James didn't hurt her, he was trying to keep her comfortable, he wasn't trying to scare her he was trying to make her feel safe. It remind him of the times James used to play with Emma, he wasn't all bad, he was just confused, James was still in there somewhere and Jack needed to get him out.

"Okay, why don't we get out of here," Jack said picking up the seven year old, "Why don't we get you back to Tooth, huh?" he asked tickling the girl as he headed to the door.

"Okay," she giggled as she kept pulling on Jack's hair, "Are you sure you didn't change your hair?" Baby Tooth asked.

"I'm sure," Jack chuckled.

"Ah looks like you've arrived." James said with a smirk on his face and ice cream in his hand. Baby Tooth's eyes widen as she stared at the black haired Jack.

"How- How are you doing that Jack?" Baby Tooth asked turning to Jack.

"It's magic," James chuckled sweetly, "Here you go Baby, why don't you go play in the other room while me and Jack two talk a little while." He suggested handing her the ice cream, Baby Tooth nodded with a smile on her face before wiggling out of Jack's hold and running into the other room.

"James," Jack let out as he stared at his brother, James lifted up the other ice cream cone and smirked.

"It's your favorite."
