"JACK!" Jamie called excitedly to Jack when he saw him, but it wasn't Jack who smiled at the boy as he floated down with a fake smile. Oh, if it isn't "my" believer...
"Hey kiddo, how is everything?" He asked as Jack normally would have, Jamie smiled in response not knowing the infinite danger he was in.
Sandy was the only Guardian who stayed behind to look after the unconscious spirit - none of them knew what she was exactly - while the others spread out in search of Jakul. It was Bunny who'd thought to go straight to Jamie's house, fearing that the boy was a likely target and in danger. He hoped out of a tunnel near by in time to see Jamie greet Jakul. Bunny didn't waste time, tossing a boomerang at him; knowing it would likely miss but the aim was to get Jamie away from "Jack" rather than actually hit the winter spirit. He needed to get the boy away. Jakul growled as he dodged it.
"HEY KANGAROO! WHAT'S YOUR DEAL?!" Jamie looked shocked at Bunny for a moment before taking a closer look at "Jack" and realized that his eyes weren't as bright as they usually were and he began to worry.
"Jack... what's going on?" Jakul looked back towards the boy.
"Oh, nothing's wrong. Why don't we go have a snowball fight at the lake?" Jamie smiled, his fears put to rest almost instantly as he nodded and ran inside to get ready. The boy thinking he needed to bring Pippa and the others to the snowball fight to make it more fun.
"So, Cottontail, how are you and those pathetic Guardians doing?" Jakul snickered in mock civility.
"You touch one hair on that kid's head and you're gonna wish you never saw a snowflake in your life!" Bunny scowled, catching the boomerang as it came back. He leapt over to where Jakul was, putting himself between the door of the house and Jakul as he stood up to his full height, brandishing both boomerangs and looking a lot like he was ready to murder Jakul.
"Now what would be the fun in that?" Bunny spun around, his eyes narrowing when he saw that SHE was there too now. She was playing with a bit of sand as she sat on the edge of the fence that went around the Bennett home; the Pooka didn't hesitate to attack, he might have gone soft on Jakul because of Jack, but he wasn't about to do the same for her.
"Ha ha! Glad you could make it Shadow! Ready for some fun?" Jakul chuckled and froze the Pooka's feet before he could get closer to her as Jamie opened the door for the "snowball fight. He smiled as he came out onto the porch.
"Hey Jack, you ready to play?" Jakul smirked.
"Oh, yeah. Ready to play alright." His voice suddenly took on a nasty tone and Jamie looked worried at the sudden change only to gasp when he saw Shadow on the fence and Bunny struggling against the ice that had him rooted to the spot.
"Jack... what's going on? Why's she here and why is Bunny frozen?" He asked, his brown eyes shining with his innocence.
"Why is Bunny frozen he asks." Shadow laughed a little, the sand she was playing with zipped over to Jamie, growing in size and swirling about the boy, trapping him.
"Well... shall we finish what we started now?"
"Jamie run!" Bunny yelled as he struggled harder against the ice.
"Oh this is gonna be fun." Jakul dove forward, freezing the boy's wrists in ice shackles, Jamie cried out in pain as frostbite from the shackles slowly seeped into his skin and was edging towards hypothermia quickly, though it held back.
"How do you like them? I thought of them a while back while capturing nightmares."
"JACK STOP! THIS ISN'T YOU!"
"Oh, but it is Jamie. It is." Jack smiled darkly, revealing his fangs. Shadow smirked.
"Not bad... now let's get him up stairs... It's too cold out here to enjoy him properly..." The terror in the boy's eyes made her smirk grow as he was hoisted up by the sand and sent floating throughout he window he kept unlocked for Jack. She was right behind him on a cloud of black sand.
"Hmmm... what toys do you have Shadow 'cause I have more painful ones that will send delicious screams." On the inside, Jack was beyond horrified. J-jamie! Jack tugged at the dark water that was holding him captive inside himself.
"LET ME GO!" Jakul winced.
"I think he's trying to fight back. Damn it, I thought I broke his will."
"I say start with the icicle... nothing I have will prepare him enough for the fun until after that... plus we don't want to break him the first time..." Shadow said, ignoring Jack's outburst, the black sand snapping around the struggling boy to pin him down to the bed. He lets out a whimper of pure fear, not having any idea what she was talking about; only knowing that he had a right to be afraid... very afraid as the two stood a the end of the bed discussing... something.
"I'm sure Jack is fighting... but this time there's going to be no interference... not from the other Guardians." More black sand spun from her, blocking the window and the door and encompassing the trio in a solid wall of sand. She smirked while Jakul slowly striped Jamie of his Jacket while the boy whimpered and pleaded to be let go. Jakul made an icicle the size of a cucumber and shredded the boy's shirt as the youth still pleaded, tugging frantically at his bonds. A frantic tugging within made Jakul stop and kept him from disposing of the boy's pants; one of Jakul's eyes returned to being icy blue as Jack struggled to help his first believer. Seeing the struggle Jakul was obviously having with jack, Shadow's sand finished stripping the boy before pinning the youth's legs down onto the bed to keep him from trying to kick either of them.
"Now then... let's start shall we? I promise I'll let you be his first... but I can help a little..." Jamie's eyes went wide as he suddenly began to understand, he opened his mouth to protest but an impromptu gag of sand kept him from it, clamping his jaw tight.
"Ah ah... not yet boy... Soon though... soon." She wasn't going to let him make any words unless it was him begging them... She moved over to the struggling youth whose fear grew larger by the minute. She stopped on the opposite side of the bed from Jakul, running her fingers gently along the boy's chest even as tears sprang to his eyes. Her touch was seductive, light, gentle... everything that would begin to elect the boy's body to arousal without touching below his waist just yet. An inner struggle continued with Jack and Jakul while Jakul chuckled.
"If you bite I will rip out your tongue." Jack forced his lips on the boy's unwilling mouth, forcing his cold tongue inside as the boy whimpered into the kiss. Jack fought harder than before, causing Jakul pain. Shadow chuckled at the sound Jamie made, knowing that the boy's innocence was broken now.
"GRR! Stop fighting it Frost! You do know this is one of your dirty desires! Don't deny you want this." Jack growled at him from within, swearing and pushing from the black goo that was holding him. Gasping, Jack had control again and he lunged at Shadow, tackling her to the ground, breaking the ice chains that held Jamie. Shadow let out a sort of squeak of surprise when Jack suddenly slammed her to the ground and broke her grip on the boy.
"JAMIE RUN! GET THE-" Before Jack could finish the other Guardians broke down the door to the boy's room. Shadow laughs.
"You're too late this time Frost!" She crowed happily. Tooth blanched when she took in the scene, but it quickly turns to outrage. North and Bunny moved to Jamie as the boy curled up, weeping silently. North wrapped the boy in a blanket while Tooth and Bunny helped Jack hold Shadow down. Sandy wrapped her back in golden bonds once more. Jack snarled down at her like a feral animal.
"You! I should kill you!" He held the collar of her shirt tightly in his hands and it takes all of the Guardians to hold him back from doing what he'd promised.
"You ruined him! You evil, ice cold bitch!" Jack snarled again, fangs growing from Jakul's influence, though mostly from the spike of anger that Jack was showing that made him want to kill her. She was aware of it but it didn't scare her, not like it should have. Bunny slaps Jack and the fangs disappear and the eyes that had been becoming pitch black were now again an icy blue. Suddenly though they become black again as Jack lashed out suddenly at the Pooka.
"JACK!" North yelled in shock and Sandy's sand bound Jack tighter than even the bonds he'd put on Shadow.
"LET ME KILL HER! SHE DESERVES TO DIE FOR WHAT SHE FUCKING DID TO JAMIE!" He cries out in anger and frustration. Sandy touched Shadow's head, trying to push away Shadow's influence for the time being as she laughed at Jack's anger, eyes alight but when Sandy pushed at her a whip of black sand sent the little Guardian tumbling back. Shadow snarled at the golden man.
"Don't even try it. I'm not so weak as to fall for a little bit of your sand. You might bind me or put me to sleep but you can't purge me! You Guardians cannot stop us now! WE have only just begun!"
