Chapter four
Tooth, Sandy, Bunny and North were barely ten feet away from the sleigh when Jack began groaning again.
"Oh, gosh! He's coming to again!" Tooth hovered faster, trying not to move too much in case it still hurt. Finally, he was laid gently back in the sleigh.
"Jack?"
His glassy blue eyes were like diamonds to everyone; it seemed like years since they'd seen him.
"Tooth? How'd I-"
"Shh. Don't move. Is it painful anywhere? Like your back or limbs?"
"No. Not anymore. I'm fine. I just feel a bit weird." Jack replied, sitting up.
"What happened? It's like, that grenade hit you really hard, but we didn't think it'd stop you breathing or anything. Why were you acting so… demented in your sleep?"
There was a pause. "Nightmare."
Tooth gasped. "Oh my goodness. I should have known. Pitch! Ugh! He has to make our nightmares the worst, doesn't he? Jack, I'm sorry. Can you tell us what it was about?"
Jack silently winced at the memory of drowning over again. "Nah. I- I don't wanna talk about it."
"Jack, come on, you can tru-" Tooth was stopped when she spotted something about Jack's eyes. They were the familiar ice-blue that she had always known, but there was something about them that didn't feel right.
"Oh… ok, just leave it, you can tell us later, if you feel up to it."
Jack nodded as the others turned and the sleigh took off.
Tooth watched with concern as Jack looked away into the distance, making her wonder;
What was in that nightmare that made him act that way?
I know, so long and way too short. But I'm really tired and busy, I'll be on break soon enough, but I'm running out of ideas! If you have any, tell me and I'll find a way to combine them maybe?
