Warning: Includes what some people may consider torture. Basically, Jack getting hurt.
Jack awoke with a pounding headache and a very sore shoulder. He groaned and rolled over, freezing when he felt a rough rope tying his hands behind his back. He wobbled until he could push himself up onto his knees. He rolled his aching shoulder and leaned against the wall behind him. He squinted and tried to see something through the suffocating darkness when a bright light turned on. Jack yelped and shut his eyes tightly, having been temporarily blinded.
Jack blinked, trying to get his vision back, when he heard a cruel, familiar laugh resounding through the large room. He rubbed his eyes against his uninjured shoulder and blinked a few more times, looking up. His pained eyes widened when he saw a tall, lanky figure with dark blonde, shaggy hair standing on a dark pedestal. Next to him was another intimidating, broad shouldered man in a dark robe. He recognized both of them.
"...Jared?..."
Bunny had ended up in Antarctica, following Jack's scent to try to apologize. He was freezing, but he felt terrible and ignored the cold. He called out Jack's name again and again until Jack's scent disappeared completely in the middle of nowhere.
Bunny glared at the ground, then at the sky. He shouted in anger. "Come on, Jack!" He shouted at the howling wind. "How do you just manage to vanish like that?!"
A rough gust of wind knocked Bunny over. He growled and pushed himself up, only to be pushed down again. He repeated this for a minute before huffing angrily and staying on the ground. He furrowed his eye brows and vaguely remembered Jack talking to the wind… Could the wind possibly be friends with Jack? Was Jack in trouble?
Bunny cleared his throat. "Uh… Hi.. Wind…" The wind brushed against him in an almost… Friendly way. "Uh, are you trying to tell me about Frostbite… Jack?" The wind brushed against his back, ruffling his fur and sending chills up his spine. "Is he okay?" The wind shoved Bunny from his sitting position violently. Bunny took this as a no. "Okay… Can you show me where he is?" Bunny stood and the wind pushed him. Bunny followed and ran, pausing every minute or so to let the wind guide him.
"Don't worry, Jack," he thought. "I'll get there soon."
AN: I was gonna stop it here, but lucky for ya'll, I felt like writing more. XD
Jared laughed cruelly and stepped down from the pedestal, followed by Pitch. "Yes, Jack," He spit out the name. "It's me. I wanted revenge, he wanted revenge," He gestured to Pitch. "and, although he declined my suggestion to lose the man-dress," Jack snickered and Pitch glared at Jared. "We agreed to help each other."
Jack frowned, glancing at Pitch. "So, you found someone more desperate than me to help you?"
Pitch chuckled. "Oh, Frost, I don't need help to destroy the Guardians," he smirked. "I need help getting revenge. And Jared needs that too."
Jack rolled his eyes. "God, Jared, I'm still not entirely sure why you hate me!"
Jared scoffed. "You know exactly what you did!" he shouted, his green eyes turning red.
Pitch put a hand on the boy's shoulder. "Calm down, Jared. No need to get upset over nothing."
Jared's eyes flickered from green to red. "N-nothing!?" He fumed.
Pitch sighed. "Calm down, child,"
"Yeah," Jack added. "Just chill, Jared." He said, smirking.
Jared's fists opened and balls of fire popped up in them. "That's IT! ! !" He darted at Jack and threw the fireball at the winter sprite. Jack ducked and the fireball burst against the wall in a tiny flurry of sparks, barely singeing Jack's hair. Jared screamed in anger and threw another fireball at Jack. This time, it hit Jack's already injured shoulder, making Jack cry out in pain. His shoulder steamed and a blister began forming over the wound.
Jared panted and his breathing slowly calmed. Soon, his eyes changed back to green. He instantly looked weary and reached for the golden locket around his neck, clutching at it as if it were his life line.
Pitch stepped forward and put a hand on the boy's shoulder. "Jared, you should get some rest. We can work on the plan later."
Jared nodded mutely and slowly disappeared into a dark hallway. Pitch turned to Jack with a creepy grin.
Jack rolled his eyes. "Let's just get this over with…"
Pitch sighed. "You are no fun, Jack Frost. Well, that's probably not the best way to put it…" Jack rolled his eyes. "Jack, I know you have no respect for anyone but yourself, but please, don't do anything unnecessarily stupid. Don't anger him. You'll get hurt. Much more hurt than you were just now." He gestured to Jack's shoulder.
Jack sighed. "So, how exactly do you plan on getting your precious revenge?"
Pitch smirked. "Well, you'll see when Jared wakes up,"
With that, Pitch left and the lights shut off. Jack sighed and curled in on himself, falling asleep after hours of staring at nothing.
AN: Hey guys! Wasup! Am I rushing this? Sorry if I am…
