Nya! I'm so sorry for the delay! I got dstracted is my excuse... Please forgive me... Anyway, please enjoy!
Rushing through the crowd, I quickly follow Trixy to where Pitch is. We end up finding him in a fight with Eve in an alleyway a little ways from the crowd. Just as we get there, one of Pitch's nightmares tackles Eve, sending her into a wall. "Eve!" Trixy and I both shout out. Trixy goes to her hurt sister and I face Pitch. "Alright, Pitch. Now you've pulled the last straw..." I growl in a low voice. "Now, now, Willow. Can't I give you my side of the story first?" he tries to reason with me. I narrow my eyes, which are starting to glow a burning red. "5 seconds..." I growl.
"Well, they attacked me first. So I was simply defending myself" he says, trying to look innocent. I glance at eve for confirmation. "You were scaring that poor little girl to death! She would have been scarred if I hadn't interfered! Then you got angry and attacked me!" she shouts. She winces from her wounds after. I growl and glare at pitch. He gives me a toothy grin. "Well, I can't have some one ruining my work, can I?" he sneers. I roar and lunge at the nightmare king. "You lying bastard!" I shout, claws swiping for flesh. He barely dodges every attack, but I can sense his fear. Suddenly, I see a blur of blue and gray out of the corner of my eye. My reflexes kick in and I swipe at the blur, miss, then jump away. I use my claws to skid myself to a stop. "Oi! Watch who ye sratchin' at, lass" a thick Australian voice comes from the blur. I look up to see the giant rabbit from before holding boomerangs in his hands, er, paws. "You?!" I shout. The rabbit gives me a grin. "No need to be so angry, lass" he says before throwing his boomerang at Pitch. Pitch barely dodges the weapon. "Ha! You missed..." he starts, but is abruptly cut of when the boomerang hits him in the back of the head on the way back to it's master. I can't help but laugh a little. Pitch gets back to his feet angrily. "Fine, if it's a fight you want, then it's a fight you'll get..." he grumbles. Then he summons his nightmares and attacks us. "Hmph, could this get any more annoying?" I taunt.
I center myself, using my emotions as a medium, and let loose a wave of flame. About five nightmares dissolve from the heat and the rabbit's boomerangs take out another five. Soon enough, we get down to just three and pitch. The rabbit and I are in a fighting stance and have everything aiming at Pitch. Pitch looks frantic as he stumbles over his own feet at the sight of us. "Now, then. This is your last chance. Get lost, or get burned" I give pitch his last chance to run. He backs away. "Well, darling. You are rather stunning" he tries to get on my good side. Little late for that... I snicker to myself. "Hey cottontail! What I miss?" that damn voice. Jack floats in and lands next to the rabbit. "Oi! Quit callin me cottontail!" the rabbit shouts. I growl. "Frost..." I growl. The air around me starts to sizzle as my emotions start getting out of hand. "Ah, how wonderful of you to join us, Jack" Pitch's snake-like voice pulls me out of my little bubble of emotions. I look at Pitch, who I find has been gazing at me. He's serious about me getting revenge. Of course. He wouldn't joke about something like that. I think to myself. I growl like an animal and let my emotions consume me. Smoke envelopes me and I transform into my demon fox form. I fall to all fours and growl at Jack. My emotions bubble up and the horribly painful memories from my past life cloud my mind. I crouch and bare my fangs. Pitch chuckles. "Now, let the real fun begin..." he chuckles. I get ready to pounce, but a small, almost inaudible voice whispers in the back of my mind. No. Don't do this. The voice says simply. Yet, it catches me off guard. I falter and look at Jack. My anger comes back as I see the fear in his perfect blue eyes. I shake my head, snarl and attack. Suddenly, a vision of a snowy day blurs my vision.
It is barely twilight outside as I sit on a ledge looking out on the forest. I sigh and watch as my breath floats in front of me. I nuzzle into the slight warmth sitting beside me. "Having a good time?" the person beside me asks. I smile and wrap my arms around him. "Yeah, thanks for taking me up here" I giggle. I look up at him. He grins down at me. "Anything for you" he chuckles.
The present day returns and I hesitate, using the wall behind Jack to stop and thrust myself back away from him. I land away from all of the people staring at me and shake my head, trying to understand what I just saw. I look back at Jack who looks worried. That only makes me more uneasy. What the hell was that? I growl in frustration and back away from all of them. "Willow..." Jack steps in my direction. I snarl, which stops him. "F-fuck you" I growl, sounding more unsure than angry, turn and run as fast as I can. I can hear Jack yelling after me, but I don't care. I don't care anymore...
When I finally stop running, I find myself in a strange meadow, crisp with spring. I feel peaceful and decide to sit down on the small rock formation in the middle of the meadow. I'm already back in my human form, but my eyes still burn red with uncontrollable emotions. I sigh and rest my head in my hands, trying to calm myself down. The vision is still going through my overactive mind and I try to desperately figure out what it was from. I tremble and feel like my head is gonna burst.
"Are you alright?" a calm voice asks me. "Go away, Jack" I weakly grumble. "Hey, you actually called me by my first name. And without saying it like its venom or something" he lightly jokes, obviously trying to make me feel better. Yet his voice only makes me feel worse. They bring up that vision that burns my memory, like there is more behind it, hiding deep within my subconscious mind. In my absent mindedness, I accidentally let out a whimper. I hold my head tighter and curl up into myself.
Suddenly, I feel a hand on my back. It feels soothing, but I know who it is. I abruptly stand and step away from him. "Don't touch me" I growl, but my voice slightly cracks. His face is filled with the emotion of pity. I don't want his pity. Do I? I shake my head, clearing such thoughts from my mind. "You're in pain. Let me help you. Please" he begs, stepping forward. "No!" I panic. The closer he tries to get to me, the more memories come back. The memories confuse me, scare me. All this time... How could I not remember any of this? I close my eyes and try to stop these sad memories from flooding my already jumbled mind. "I can help. Even if it's just a little..." Jack offers. I can feel him, just a step away from me. I can almost feel the chill from his body as he reaches out to touch me. At that moment, I finally break. I fall to my knees on the ground as tears stream down my face. I remember all of it. The bullies abusing me almost to death, me meeting Jack, the two of us playing with Emily. My death in the burning house. Jack confessing his love, as well as his sorrowful goodbye.
I can feel Jack beside me, trying to sooth me with his presence. I lean into him involuntarily. He puts his arms around me and rubs my shoulders. We sit here for some time, until my sobs come to an end and all I can hear is the soft sound of his breathing. I pull away from him. My golden eyes look up into his ice ones. I shake my head, close my eyes and stand up, regaining my composure. "I still don't understand..." I whisper. "Understand what? Your memories?" he inquires. I huff. "Yes and no. My memories, you, Pitch" I go down my list of frustrations. Jack perks up at me mentioning Pitch. "Pitch? What about him? And why did it seem like the two of you where working together?" he asks. I can hear the shock and underlying anger in his voice. He must not like the thought of me teaming with pitch...
I turn my back to him. "It's none of your concern. Forget about what happened before" I return to my ordinary self. Even though my voice was softer than I had meant it to be. "Wait. Answer my question! What were you planing with Pitch?" he sounds panicked and hurt. I haven't done anything to hurt him! He's jumping to conclusions! I roared in my mind, but answered calmly. "Just get lost, Frost. I don't want to talk anymore" I say in my voice of stone. He grabs my wrist and pulls me back to him. "Just tell me what you had planned!" he shouts. I whirl around to face him, my eyes burning red again. "Why do you care?!" I shout back at him. He steps back and lets go of my hand. His hurt expression turns to sorrow and he steps toward me again. I don't move and glare at him, awaiting my answer. He brushes a cold hand across my cheek. "I just worry about you. No matter how cold you get towards me, I will never change my feelings toward you" he whispers. My eyes widen, but I shake the feelings from my mind. "You don't know me. Stop acting like you do!" I shove him away and let smoke envelope me. Before I fade away, Jack steps into my smoke, holds me close to him and kisses me. He pulls away before I can register anything, and the world fades into smoke and moonlight.
