"Pitch!" Tooth yelled.
"Why can't you just leave us alone!?" I said, trying to sound tough, but that was a pretty hard thing to do when you're sitting in a bed weak and injured.
Pitch laughed and walked out of the door way, making his was toward us. Every one guarded themselves. North brought out his two swords, and Bunny grabbed onto his boomerangs. Sandy put up his fists, and I grabbed my staff from my bedside. Tooth looked at me, "Jack, don't you dare get up out of that bed."
"Now, now." Pitch said, putting his hands up defensively, "I've just come to pay dear Jack a visit."
"Just go." I said, gripping my staff harder.
Pitch put his hands down, but his smile remained, "Oh, poor Jack. What did my nightmare do?"
"Nothing too bad that I can't kick your ass!" I shot a hust of ice from my staff. Pitch was surprised, but he easily dodged it.
"Jack, stop it! You're not in any condition to fight!" North yelled, looking back at me.
"Oh, and how sad that is, because it so happens I've developed a new technique." Pitch's smile only grew as black sand started to circle in his hands. Soon, a perfect black ball was resting in his palm, "I've been working on this for months and it's finally ready." And with a quick flick of his wrist, the ball went flying, catching North in his chest. The ball dispersed on contact, leaving black sand floating down to the ground.
"What the hell was-" North satrted to sway on his feet, and his eye lids started to droop, "How..?" And suddendly, he collapsed on the floor.
"Damn you, Pitch!" I screamed. I threw my legs off my bed, and forced myself to my feet. My sides were screaming at me, telling me to get back into my bed, but of course I couldn't listen, "What did you do to him?!"
"Just gave the lad a little nightmare." Pitch chuckled. Bunny threw one boomerang at Pitch, then the other; both missed. "Mind your manners, rabbit!" Pitch threw one of his black orbs at Bunny. He tried to dodge it, but it caught him in his arm, and he went down too.
Using my staff as a crutch, I drug myself up to when Bunny was now laying. "Jack!" Tooth yelled from behind me, "Get away from him!"
I ignored her, "What do you want Pitch?!"
"Your head on a platter." Pitch's smile never faulted.
"Sorry," I said, "not on the menu." I ran at him, throwing my staff out as a sword and caught Pitch on the side of his face.
"Damn you, brat!" Pitch regained his composure, and grabbed onto my staff. He pulled it his way, then threw it to the left, taking me with it. I screamed out as I hit the floor, feeling my broken bones rubbing together. I curled into a fetal position on my side trying to will the pain away.
"Jack!" Tooth screamed, starting to fly over. Sandy ran after her.
"Stay where you are!" I yelled back. Both remaining Guardians stopped in their track, looking at me with worry.
"Trying to be the hero, Jack?" Pitch walked over to where I was on the floor. I tried to stretch myself out, telling myself I needed to get back up, "You're not cut out for that."
I chuckled, "You don't know much, do you? Have you forgotten last year when we all beat your ass?"
Suddenly there was a flash of pain through my side, and I was aware of someone screaming... or was that me? I opened my eyes and saw Pitch's foot in my side. I tasted something metallic in my mouth, blood most likely. I must have bit my tounge.
"Get away from him!" Tooth ran, and jumped, grabbing onto the back of Pitch. She was doing her best to strangle him, but despite that, Pitch was laughing. He reached back and grabbed her feathers on the top of her head. When Tooth let go, Pitch threw her forward onto the ground, then knocked her out with one of the black orbs.
"No! Tooth!" I yelled through my gritted teeth.
Sandy walked up to Pitch, extending his sand whips. Quickly, he started firing at Pitch, making him jump around. I saw this as my chance to try and wake up one of the other Guardians. Bunnymund was the closest one to me, so using my arms, I crawled over to him, "Hey, Bunny, wake up." I shook his shoulder, but he still lay still, with a terrified look on his face. I wondered what he was dreaming about... "Hey, Kangaroo!" I yelled into his ears, figuring making him angry was my best bet of him waking up; but it didn't have any affect.
"HA!" Pitch's short laugh behind me caught my attention, and when I craned my neck around Sandy was kneeling on the ground out of breath.
"Sandy!" I screamed.
Soon, Sandy was also put into a nightmare with's Pitch's ball of black sand. Leaving just him and me.
