Chapter Six:

~Jack Frost~

"Hiccup is here!" North called and I pretty much flew into the living room to see Hiccup. I'd missed him and his sarcastic remarks. I was excited to show him a few tricks that I'd learned while we were on break.

But when I saw him, I stopped dead in my tracks. Hiccup was almost completely purple. And he looked absolutely terrible.

"Are you ok?" I rushed over to him and examined him and he rubbed his eyes.

"Yeah. No big deal. Just tired. I can't sleep without having a nightmare." He admitted with a frown. I knew Hiccup couldn't see the purple dust. I didn't know why though. I was starting to think I was crazy but I knew there was something wrong and I knew the Boogeyman had something to do with it.

I just didn't know how to stop it.

"Merry Christmas."

"Snoggletog!" Hiccup said in response with a very surprising grin.

"…What?" I raised an eyebrow and North laughed merrily.

"Snoggletog is what Vikings celebrate, Jack." North pointed out and I nodded. I handed him a box and he handed me one too.

"You didn't have to get me anything, you already got me a birthday present." I said with a smile and he shrugged.

"Yeah but you're my best friend and Snoggletog only comes once a year so, oh well."

I opened my present and smiled. It was kind of weird looking, actually but in a cool way. It was a chain and it had what looked like an icicle pendent.

"I have one that's a dragon. I made Merida and Rapunzel ones for Christmas too." He said proudly. "They glow colors when your friend is in trouble. I'm green, you're blue, Rapunzel is purple and Merida is red." He said excitedly and I was very jealous. He always had the most kickass presents.

He took the time to open his present. He excitedly mentioned that he never received a present from anyone who wasn't family or Gobber, which kinda made me feel really awful. Christmas was a big holiday in this house (clearly) and I couldn't imagine what it would be like to not really celebrate it.

He tore off the paper and opened the box, then looked up at me confused.

"I'm sorry but what is this?" He asked curiously and I smiled and gently picked it up.

"This is a dragon egg. I got it from the guy at school that teaches us about magical creatures." Hiccup looked so excited I swear I thought he was going to explode.

"A dragon egg!? How did you afford it?!" He asked and held it trying his best to contain himself.

"No worries. But I don't know what kind of dragon it is. But I made sure it wouldn't be too dangerous. And since he'll be a baby for a while he could be like, your owl. I don't know how big he'll get though." I admitted and Hiccup just stared down at the egg and beamed. He was so happy. I had never seen him be so excited over something before.

"I'm glad you like it, Hiccup." I said as I put my necklace over my head. He nodded vigorously.

"Like isn't even the word to describe how awesome this is, thank you. I ALWAYS wanted a dragon."

Yeah, I think I would do anything for Hiccup. I realized that as I smiled at him. I almost forgot he was a very ugly shade of purple.

##$# $!

"North." I called quietly while we sat at the table and ate dinner. Hiccup went home about an hour ago. He wasn't feeling well. I could see why.

"Yes, my child?" North answered with a smile. I sighed.

"Did you see the purple on Hiccup?" I asked and his eyebrow raised and I shook my head. "Forget about it."

"No. What is what you are saying?" He asked and I put my fork down and looked at him.

"It's just… Hiccup started out being kind of purple. Like dust was on him or something. But no one else saw it. Just me. And the more purple that got on him, the worse his nightmares got. I just think it's the boogeyman and I don't know how to save him." North looked over at Tooth and they shared the same expression.

Terror.

%#&$(*Q

Sandy stopped by at the house and he seemed confused why he was there and North tried to explain but kept forgetting what he was exactly explaining so gave up and said "Jack, you tell him."

So I did. I told him about seeing the Boogeyman, I told him about how I saw Hiccup become purple more and more as the days went by and I told him about it spreading through the school.

Sandy's eyes narrowed. He reached down in a small sash that he had tied around his waist and pulled out a pile of golden sand. I smiled.

"Yes! Yes it looks like that but it's purple!" I knew I wasn't crazy! I just knew it.

"Jack, we need to have a discussion. Please go inside and we'll talk more later." North said curtly and I frowned. Why couldn't I listen? I'M the one who figured this out! I should know what happens! Plus, I'm twelve now. I'm not eleven. I'm almost a teenager…

I sighed and walked into my room and plopped on the bed.

Now it's time to play the waiting game.

~Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III~

I held a letter in my hands. I had two and they almost seemed identical. One was from Merida, the other from Rapunzel.

They both mentioned nightmares.

This doesn't add up. What is causing everyone to have nightmares like this? If the Boogeyman is real, he's one person. So how does he have a hold on so many people at once?

Sleep has been scarce. I feel like the more time progresses, the more vivid and horrific my nightmares get. The simple nightmares I used to get almost seem like a paradise over what I've been seeing lately.

I started looking at my hands. They were peach. I don't understand why Jack kept calling me purple.

I took my letters over to my desk and began to compose a reply to the two ladies. I told them pretty much how it was. To cherish their nightmares now because they will get worse. I don't want them to worry about me so I just brushed it off as though I'm still okay even with the nightmares. I don't want to lie to them either.

I glanced over at a dreamless sleep potion that I got from the nurse at school. I was debating on if I should take it. It's guaranteed sleep.

But it's also guaranteed I won't wake up for a while.

My eyes were practically on fire. I couldn't take it anymore. My body was weak, I felt drunk. My depth perception was completely off. I just couldn't do it anymore. I wrote one more letter. One to Jack. Telling him that I was taking a dreamless sleep potion and to not worry. But I'm not sure why I told him that.

Maybe because we both know he should worry.

I gave my letters to my father's owl and it flew off to deliver them. I played with the bottle for a bit longer and I finally decided to go for it. I got up and walked over to my bed and laid down and stared at the liquid for a minute. I looked around to see if there was anything that could wake me up no matter what. I had nothing. With a sigh I uncapped the bottle and downed the whole serving.

What's the worst that can happen? I have to sleep through a nightmare?

They aren't real.

~Jack Frost~

I was mindlessly doodling on my nightstand when I heard our fireplace have a damn-near seizure and a loud voice that I don't think I've ever heard before.

"Where's Jack?" He asked almost angrily. North seemed to take defense.

"Who are you and what are you doing here?" He asked and I poked my head out. He was huge! He had a long red beard and long red hair. He had a Viking helmet on and he took it off and fumbled with it and looked at North desperately.

"My name is Stoick. It's my son. It's Hiccup." Everything seemed like it was in slow motion. How did I not know?

I glanced around my neck and sure enough, it was green. Damn it! Why didn't I see that before?

"He's asleep, he won't wake up and he's screaming. But he's screaming for Jack." It was then that an owl flew in through my window and delivered a letter that I quickly scanned. He took a sleeping potion. Dreamless sleep was supposed to work but damn it, Hiccup!

I rushed into the living room and Stoick looked at me desperately. Sandy nodded and we all stepped into the fireplace and headed to Hiccup's house.

$# &$

I'm not entirely sure what I thought Hiccup's house would look like, but I'm positive this wasn't it. I had to remind myself that Hiccup was a Viking for that to make sense.

I had no time to admire the house though, I heard Hiccup screaming from upstairs. Stoick looked so defenseless. I rushed towards the sound and I was brought to Hiccup's room. He was flailing on the bed and tears were streaming down his face.

But that's not the first thing I noticed.

The Boogeyman was standing right there. I saw him face-to-face. He smirked at me. It gave me goosebumps.

It was eerie how much he looked like Dusk. But how different they were at the same time.

"Hello, Jack Frost. It's nice to see you." He said politely with a very snarky undertone. "Hiccup has told me so much about you." He said with a laugh and nudged Hiccup and how he would whimper my name and thrash about. It made me sick to see.

I heard footsteps coming up the stairs and my heart was racing. I don't know why I forgot my wand at home, but I did.

I rushed to the bedside and the Boogeyman "tsked" at me and waved and grabbed onto Hiccup.

"Pitch!" North called out. Pitch chuckled and vanished leaving me reaching at nothing. Hiccup was gone. I looked up at North with a horrified look. He didn't look too happy either. I collapsed.

I let Hiccup go. He literally was right in front of me and I was too slow to get to him in time. I was absolutely disgusted in myself.

"What happened?" Stoick rushed into the room and I shook my head and stepped back.

"The boogeyman took him. He just vanished. He's gone." I pointed at the empty bed and crossed my arms. I didn't know what to do…

"Hiccup?!" I heard a familiar voice yell.

"Hiccup!" Another one. Was that… No. How did Merida and Rapunzel…?Oh. Right.

I ran downstairs and I was shaking so I almost fell a few times. I noticed their necklaces were glowing green. Rapunzel had a sun and Merida had a bear.

"Oh Jack! Thank goodness. Where's Hiccup?" Rapunzel said with a soft smile. My eyes stung. I looked over Merida and Rapunzel. They were turning purple too.

"The boogeyman got him." I croaked. I couldn't her what the adults were saying upstairs. Stoick didn't sound very happy at all. Merida looked really confused.

"The Boogeyman?" She echoed and I nodded.

"He's real. He gives you nightmares." I wiped her arm where I saw a patch of purple dust and held it up in a desperate attempt for them to see it too.

"He makes you purple. He gives you nightmares. He drives you crazy. And he can kill you." I said, angrily. Why couldn't I get here sooner?! Why couldn't I get to Pitch? Why didn't I bring my wand?!

"…Nightmares aren't so scary." Rapunzel said quietly. "Why don't we face them and get Hiccup back?" She said that so innocently I could have laughed. I stared up and pushed them both into the fireplace.

If we were going to get Hiccup back, we were going to need me to have my wand.

"North Pole." I said simply and we vanished in a heap of green flames.

Ohhh shiznap. Looks like stuff is going down. I wonder how they're going to get to Hiccup. Ohhhh dear.

Anyway, who's excited? We finally get some action, yo! I know I'M excited!
