I have to say, I am very disappointed by the lack of reviews I got on this story. It doesn't make me want to write it if I don't get any feedback.

Chapter 4

~Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III~

"Are you okay?" I looked up at Merida and sighed. I ran my fingers through my hair and shook my head.

"No. No, I'm actually not very okay at all, really." I felt comforted when she sat down next to me. She looked at me for a minute and I raised my eyebrow at her.

"Well go on. What's botherin' ya?" She asked and I nodded. I was feeling so groggy and I was moving so slowly. I didn't know what to make of it anymore.

"Just… Nightmares… And not the dragons either. I can handle Nightmares, they set themselves on fire. But they're really just big sweethearts. I'm talking about the boogeyman. Do you believe in him? Please tell me you do? Because I seem to be the only one with this problem. Endless nightmares. Every time I sleep." Merida took in what I said and took a deep breath.

"Hiccup, I am sorry that you're havin' trouble sleepin'. But I don't think the Boogeyman is the cause of that. He's just a figment of children's imaginations to personify fear." She explained and wow, did that pretty much sum up the psychological aspect of my problem but no, the Boogeyman was in fact, real. I didn't have proof of it so I just smiled through the very slow and what seems to be diluted way of registering everything around me.

"You're right." She wasn't right. I knew what I saw. And he was tall, pale and looked a LOT like Dusk.

I'm not crazy. If I am, so is Jack.

[$%^&^#]

"Hey Jack…" Of course. He was with the dimwit duo. Not to say I didn't like Dash or Dusk… I just hated them. We've been going to school for a while now and they still manage to make fun of me every chance they get. Luckily Jack gives them a look that shuts them up.

"What's up, Hiccup?" Jack looked up from the map and I gave him a weary grin.

"Can I talk to you for a sec?" Dash and Dusk exchanged a look and I knew what that one mean. Jack just stood up and pulled me to the side.

"You look like crap." He deadpanned and I rolled my eyes.

"Thank you for that complement." I said sarcastically. He grinned at me and it faded rather quickly.

"Seriously, what's wrong?" He asked quietly. It was now that I took to envy his height advantage because he had to hunch over to talk to me quietly.

"I saw him too. He's been in my dreams every night. I can't sleep. He keeps me awake. As much as I'd hate for you to feel the same way, please tell me you feel the same way." I said quickly and he pursed his lips and thought for a minute.

"Guys, I'll be back in a bit." I called and they nodded in unison. Jack led me out of the library and down a few flights of stairs.

"So what exactly does this mean? Does this mean you believe me and you have the exact same problem? Because that would be nice to have company. I mean, misery does enjoy company." Jack halted and turned around to face me.

"Hiccup, if you need to talk to me about the Boogeyman, don't bring it up in the same room as Dusk. For some reason it doesn't feel right to me. Anyway, yeah I've seen him several times. It's like I see people's dreams in gold and I know when they're having a nightmare because it's dark purple. And look at you. You're covered in purple dust." He started patting me off but I didn't see anything on me.

"Are you sure that you see purple? I'm not seeing purple…" I trailed off once I stared at the confused look on his face. He wiped off my shoulder and cupped his hand and held it in front of me.

"You don't see that?" I shook my head. "Are you serious?" He grew frustrated and I felt really bad. I didn't mean to upset him.

"I'm sorry, maybe if I squint—"

"Can anyone else see the dust?" He cut me off and I shrugged. "Where is Rapunzel?"

"I have no idea. Maybe she's outside." I offered and he quickly sprinted towards the exit with me trailing behind.

Sure enough. Rapunzel was outside. However she was talking to someone. He was tall, and he was pretty darn handsome. I realized this after being overwhelmed with jealousy. She seemed to like him. I didn't like that.

He had brown hair and brown eyes. Average. But there was just something about him.

"Rapunzel!" Jack called out. The look on that guy's face could kill. Rapunzel looked so happy to see us that she completely blew off whatever the guy had been saying.

"Yes?" She asked with a smile and Jack stopped in front of her, breathing heavily and held out his hand.

"Do you see anything?" He asked desperately and she tilted her head to the side.

"I see your hand…?" She offered lightly and Jack looked distressed. Trying to dissipate the tension, Rapunzel motioned over to the guy. "This is Flynn and he's a third year. Flynn this is Jack and this is Hiccup." Flynn looked disinterested and perked a brow.

"Pleasure." He said flatly and I frowned at him and took that time to glance at Jack who looked way too confused.

"Nice to meet you." I responded for the both of us.

"Rapunzel are you sure you can't see anything?" Jack asked desperately.

"She can't see anything so just leave her alone." Flynn cut in and Jack's eyes narrowed.

"Was I even talking to you?" He snapped and Flynn seemed to raise up a bit more. Flynn was definitely taller that both of us.

"Let's go Jack." I yanked on his arm lightly.

"Yeah. Go run around with this runt and find him a normal name." Flynn spat and Rapunzel looked very very annoyed.

"Excuse me—"

"Don't you dare insult Hiccup. He didn't do anything to you. Leave him out of this. If a fight is what you want, I will gladly give it to you." I have to say, I am pretty flattered that Jack stood up for me but I didn't want to get him in a fight. And Rapunzel looked so upset.

"Flynn." She snapped and Jack and Flynn just ignored her attempts to calm them down. The fight started when Jack looked down at his hand, which apparently was purple (so he says) and wiped it down Flynn's face.

I tried to jump in but Flynn was on top of Jack in a heartbeat. A swift punch in the face. I shakily took out my wand. Quick. What's a spell? What the hell is a spell? I started trembling and pointed my wand.

"Wingardium Leviosa!" What the hell does that spell do anyway…?

Flynn was picked up from the ground, not by much but just enough for Jack to roll out from under him and I couldn't hold the spell anymore. Flynn fell to the ground and Jack gave him a swift kick in the ribs and Rapunzel finally screamed loud enough to get them to stop.

Jack had blood pouring out of his nose and Flynn was curled up on the ground.

"WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU GUYS!? STOP FIGHTING!" Her eyes were just filled with tears and I felt like the crappiest person alive.

"Rapunzel, I'm so sorry." I apologized and she just shook her head. I walked over to her and she hugged me and softly whimpered.

"Why are you guys fighting?" Flynn got up and glared at us and stormed off. Jack walked over, blood seeping from his fingers and Rapunzel moved his hand away and frowned.

"Your nose is broken…" She said quietly and started unbraiding her hair.

"What on earth are you doing?" I asked quickly because she seemed to just throw her hair on the ground. Did she want to get dirt in it?

It was now that I noticed how long Rapunzel's hair actually was. She only unbraided about 4 feet of it and still she had a lot in her braid. She pulled out a handkerchief and wiped the blood off of his face. Then it got strange. She wrapped her hair around his head so it overlapped on his nose. Jack looked very confused and she just stared at him and inhaled deeply.

"Flower gleam and glow… Let your powers shine. Make the clock reverse, bring back what once was mine.." Her hair started to glow. It was the coolest thing to watch. It started at her roots and weaved in and out of her braid. "Heal that has been hurt. Change the fates design. Save what has been lost. Bring back what once was mine. What once… was mine." She sang and very easily unwrapped her hair and began to braid it again. Jack touched his nose and marveled at it.

"You healed me." He said, amazed. She nodded, uninterestedly.

"Yeah. I did, didn't I?" She said quietly and Jack frowned.

"Rapunzel, I'm sorry. I'll apologize." Jack offered and Rapunzel shook her head.

"Don't bother." With that she walked away.

~Jack Frost~

"Are you ok?" Dusk asked and I glanced up. "You keep zoning out. Are you alright?"

"Yeah. I'm fine. Tired I guess." I glanced over at Hiccup at the Hufflepuff table. I didn't want to eat. I wondered how he kept having nightmares and I kept seeing them. He was drenched in purple. It seemed to get more and more each day. Something that made me smirk was the fact that Flynn was slowly gaining purple on him too.

Now that I really looked, I notice this. Everyone speckled with gold. Very few had purple. But what did it mean? Was it the Boogeyman? I wish I could ask Dusk if he knew, but I'm not exactly sure if I could trust that from him. It was his father, wasn't it?

And Dusk let something slip. His father's name. It's Pitch. Pitch Black. Creepy enough, right? Well what would he say to me trying to figure out his business? I don't think he'd appreciate it. But the thing that is really confusing me is how the nightmares are selected. I am almost 100% positive that I made Flynn have nightmares. In fact, he looked exhausted right now which was fine with me. He's a jerk anyway.

But if I had nightmares in my hand, then why wasn't I infected by them? Is that how it's spread? Person to person? If so, wouldn't Rapunzel get it? She hugged Hiccup.

This is all so confusing. I didn't know how to solve everything. For once, I was all out of ideas.

[$#^%$]

"So, Jack. Your birthday is coming up soon. You excited?" Dusk asked and I shrugged. My birthday is December 21. The winter solstice. Which would probably explain my name and all.

"I'm not sure. I don't even know if North is sending me anything." I said absentmindedly. I had Bunnymund on my stomach. We were in the dorm getting ready for bed. I was petting my rabbit and he was just sitting there.

"Can I hold Bunnymund?" Dusk asked sweetly and I gave him a warning glare.

"If you hurt him in any way I will turn you to ice. I've had him all my life." I said and Bunnymund seemed to give me a look of disapproval as I handed him off to his new holder.

"Relax. I'm not going to—ow!" With a quick bite to Dusk's hands, Bunnymund fell to the floor and Dusk glared at him. Bunnymund seemed to glare back. He was mad at me too.

"I told you not to hurt him!" I yelled and looked under the couch. "Where the heck is he?"

"Way to lose his rabbit." Dash smirked at Dusk and I glared at them both.

"Do you guys mind helping me look?" I snapped and Dash rolled his eyes and knelt down and started looking. Dusk walked around the room trying to scan for him.

I was getting distressed because we couldn't find him.

[!%$^%]

"Have you found Bunnymund yet?" I shook my head at Hiccup's question and sighed deeply. He frowned.

"He has to be in the Slytherin common room somewhere. I mean, he is a magical pet, right?" I looked at him unsure what to say. I wasn't aware if my rabbit was magical. Maybe he was, I just didn't know. "Okay… well I'm sure he'll come around. What was he doing last time you had him?"

"Dusk was holding him and he bit him." I said quickly and Hiccup perked an eyebrow.

"That's weird. Does your rabbit bite everyone?" Hiccup asked accusingly.

"Yes. He hates everyone, actually. He's a very unhappy rabbit and I love everything about him and I miss him." I said with a frown. "I don't know how to find him…"

"If only there was something we could look at that showed the exact location of everyone…" Hiccup offered and I nodded in agreement.

If only…
