Chapter 5
Difficult to remember where I was or how the story was supposed to go. I hope this is good please review and let me know what you think. More to come very soon. I have another two chapters to type up and that isn't the end either.
Tragedy had nightmare about her family, her life, and her afterlife. Bad Dream was working with the Nightmares. Daydream was out helping a young actor who did not know how good he was.
The next few days went on as they had before Jack knew about Tragedy. Tragedy left the cave to help an elderly woman reunite with her lost wife. Daydream went to work with a business major trying to take a test. Bad Dream went back to the Guardians to see if he could fix what he had done.
The North Poles cold did not affect the man who had nothing. He walked up to the Yeti who opened the door and asked to speak to the guardians. North of course answered first and spoke to Bad Dream about everything that had happened in the last year.
"Why would Jeanie join up with Pitch Black after Jack drowned?" North asked.
Bad Dream remembered the way it had been told to him, "She had nowhere else to go. She felt blamed for the death of Jack and she was alone. She had nowhere to go but to fear. Pitch gave her love, Jack didn't even remember her. Can you imagine being a child and watching the person you were closest to die? I was lucky I died before my bride."
Jack arrived and when he saw Bad Dream he nearly shot fire from his eyes, "what are you doing here?"
"I am here to show you the truth. I made a mistake in hurting you; I didn't know how bad Pitch was."
Jack looked from Bad Dream to North and shook his head, "I want to meet my sister."
Bad Dream knew this was a bad idea so he decided to cut his losses and go home. "You will never understand. I will protect her from you. She is a wonderful girl with the kindest heart. She has a twisted sense of humor but that is something that makes her Tragedy." He got up and left, making sure that Jack didn't follow.
Tragedy made it home first. She had time to think for a bit. About her dreams, about the way that Bad Dream and Daydream never have time alone, about how strangely similar their stories were. Her spine started burning, she ignored it. Daydream's real name was Kathrine; Bad Dream's real name was Daniel. That man from her memory looked a lot like Daydream. The light bulb turned on and her back felt like it was on fire again. She fell forward and cried out. Moon was trying to keep her from doing what she should have done days ago.
In that moment, Tragedy decided to bring the fight to her brother. She knew he was planning to attack her and it was only a matter of time until he found her secret layer. She wrote a note for Daydream and Bad Dream then she pulled her invisibility cloak over her head and stepped into the bloody mist.
Her back stung as the moon burned in her ribs felt like it relit; Manny was trying to stop her. He had interfered with her life enough, he stopped her from reaching out to Jack several times, stopped her from saving Pitch, and now trying to stop her from telling Bad Dream and Daydream the truth. Tragedy would not let him stop her again. She regretted not standing up to him sooner. She left a blood stained note informing them all she had learned.
Dear Friends,
You have been searching long enough. Trust only each other. Bad Dream, Daniel, and Daydream, Kathrine, you found each other. Enjoy your time together, work less, there are other dreamers out there. I will be back later, going to see my brother.
Love your friend,
Tragedy
Tragedy reached the end of the mist and held her breath. "I can do this," she whispered as she glided into the light. Everything was white with a light frost. Jack sat facing away from her stirring the frost with his staff. The same staff that he used to save her from the icy death that he suffered. She watched him silently, warmth filling her. Her back burned; she winced and fell forward slightly her foot smashed the ice and Jack jumped up spinning around.
