Chapter 7: The meeting of Midnight Shadow
Jack stamped his staff on the ground in anger. For some strange reason, he felt a pang of anger in the pit of his stomach. He stood up and started walking away from the group.
'Jack! Where are you going my boy?' North called. Jack kept on walking until he stood at the edge of the door.
'Going to see an old enemy.' With that he flew out. Angela stared in shock at the empty door fOR quite some time.
Jack flew over ice caps and ice bergs before reaching proper land. He landed and thought on where Pitch would hide. 'Obviously underground like before. But... that entrance is sealed now...' he thought, his face crumpling up in thought.
'Jaack!' a playful voice called. Jack recognised it and his face had a goofy grin. He turned around hoping to hear the voice again.
'Jaack! Come find me!' Jack turned his head and just saw the rim of a shirt disappear behind a tree. He flew to it and peered behind it but found nothing.
'Jack! Over here! Come catch me!' the voice called out from behind him. He squinted his eyes and grinned. He flew over and heard a loud giggle. He followed it until it lead him to an abandoned house. It was very small. It looked like the kind he used to live in when he was alive.
'Jack! I'm right behind you!' Jack grinned and turned around.
'Found you Angie! Ah-'He came face to face with a person who looked almost exactly like Angela. Except her skin was a dark grey and instead of bright orange hair, she had greyish-blue ones. She had a devilish grin with black sockets that were uneven. His mouth dropped open and told himself to be calm. She circled him. As she was circling, Jack gripped his staff tighter and more protectively. This... imposter was the same size as Angela and had the same figure. She wore a long black shirt that had spaghetti straps, black skirt and a black beanie hat. Her devilish grin turned into a smirk.
'Jaaack! How can I sound like Angela when I am not her!?' laughed the girl. Jack put on a stony face.
'Who are you?' demanded Jack. The girl stopped twirling around Jack and stopped dead in front of him. She bent her head to the side and smiled slyly.
'Your. Worst. Nightmare.' She screamed ,at the word nightmare, and suddenly grew bigger and bigger until she towered over Jack, her eyes and mouth were black holes of nothingness. Jack's eyes widened in fear. He felt his heart beat against his ribcage, begging it to escape from this monster. He took a few steps before tumbling to the ground.
'Do you fear me now? Well! Do you?!' she yelled, her voice and another's echoing after hers. Jack shot ice at her and knocked her to the ground. Her black hand touched her cheek and her head jerked to Jack. She started crawling to him when something inside of her told her to stop. She blinked and noticed that she was on the ground. She got up and her eyes went back from confused to crazy.
'Let me repeat. Who are you.'
'Midnight. Midnight Shadow, at your service.' She bowed to him. 'I would LOVE to stay, believe me. But I have to go.' She waved to the guardian and slipped to the ground. Jack walked out of the house and examined it. He flew off back to the Pole. He would need to tell North about this.
