Back again….. and Dam it feels good to be back writing the stories!
Chapter Six: The Book of Childhood.
Time until the Trickster Escapes: 2 Days 5 Hours.
Pitch Black hid within shadows as the Old man fell asleep, he crept forward, his Nightmares hiding nearby, he walked over calmly, preparing to snatch it away when he realised he was being watched, he turned to see a Daemon walking towards him, he looked around as more approached him.
"So, the Mighty Nightmare King, what do you want here?" The Old Man asked standing up,
"Well this is a surprise, you are so ancient, yet you can see me, tell me Old Man, how is that possible, and if you don't I'm sure some FEAR, will make you" Pitch replied, standing tall.
"Oh Pitch, Pitch, Pitch" The Man replied, "You should know who I am, I am Loki, the Tricksters right hand man"
"Loki?" Pitch asked, "You are quiet famous, tell me, why do you fight for him?"
"Because its fun!" Loki replied,
"I doubt that, Living is Fun" Pitch replied, "but your life is of a Slave"
"Slave? I work harder than you" Loki replied,
"To get what? A child's book?" Pitch asked,
"Indeed, but a Book that in the right hands, could undo my Master" Loki replied,
"How so?" Pitch asked, his hand itching to withdraw his axe and slice at this fool.
"It contains an entry, about one Jackson Overland Frost and if the young Bennett boy were to remember… then my Master wouldn't rise again" Loki replied.
Pitch smiled, "Well I'll just have to take it then!"
With that a thousand Nightmare's burst forth, attacking the Daemon's, Pitch leapt for the book, but Loki vanished,
Pitch turned on the spot to see Loki standing by a now lit fire, holding the book over it,
"Well, Mr. Nightmare King, it was a nice try" Loki said as he dropped the book into the fire.
Pitch scowled as the Book went up in flames, he created a bow and aimed at Loki, firing one Nightmare arrow, it hit him and sent him flying into the ground, Nightmare sand overcoming him,
"P-p…Pitch…." Loki smiled, as Pitch withdrew his axe,
"You made your mistake, now here's your punishment" Pitch sneered as the axe found its mark, and Loki lay dead, the Daemon's all in retreat,
"Dam, now I need to tell Sanderson…" Pitch grumbled before he saw the small man standing beside him,
Loki was once the Trickster, many worshipped him as a God…. I doubt he's really gone for good Sandy told Pitch,
"I cut off his head, how much more dead do you want?" Pitch asked,
When the Trickster was out last, we: Cut off his head, hit him with an Arrow through the heart, burn him alive, drowned him, poisoned him and had him torn to shreds by wolves… and he just got up every time Sandy replied,
"So he's un-killable" Pitch sighed,
"As is anyone given the Trickster title" A Voice called and both of their heads turned to see Natura standing there,
"So how do we end him?" Pitch asked,
"I have a plan, but the others must never know…" Natura began.
Time until the Trickster Escapes: 1 Day 23 Hours
Pitch smiled as he stood there, The room of a boy who had once ruined his plans, he watched as the boy slept, Pitch scowled how was he meant to create a vision of Jack? All he could do was give Jamie a nightmare…
Then Pitch smiled, he knew what the nightmare needed to be about, he plunged his nightmare sand into Jamie's dream and it turned swiftly from a dream about Winter, to one about the fall of the Winter Palace and its King.
Pitch watched as the Nightmare end and Jamie sat up, looking around, Pitch realised that if Jamie saw him it then the plan would fail, he jumped out of the window.
(In Jamie's Room)
Jamie awoke looking around, that face, he knew it.. But where from?
Jamie swung his leg off his bed and looked around his room again, something about that teen reminded him of his childhood, but why he walked to the door of his room and opened it.
He screamed as a beast stood before him, he backed off as the creature approached him,
"So… You are Jamie…. Bennett" The Creature spoke and Jamie nodded silently, both creatures were unaware Pitch sat in the shadows ready to aid if Jamie needed him. Pitch knew that this Creature was a Daemon.
"My Massster wants to see you" The Creature smirked, "Come with me!"
"I don't think he wants to do that" Pitch smiled as he walked behind Jamie,
"Stay out of this Shade" The Daemon replied,
"Who are you talking to?" Jamie asked the Deamon,
"Silence Mortal!" the Daemon hissed,
"I Rather think that this boy is off limits, or do you want the King's of Winter, Nightmares and The Moon on your back for the rest of your rather short life." Pitch asked,
"I doubt you'll have a chance Shade!" The Daemon hissed sending a wave of pure energy at Pitch sending him flying out of the window, hitting his head on the way down as he was knocked unconscious.
"Now come with me child, your life will end soon" The Daemon told Jamie, grabbing him as it vanished into darkness,
(Meanwhile)
Deep in the hall the King of Winter sturred for a moment muttering a Single word,
"Jamie…."
The King then fell back into his comatosed state, no-one hearing his call, no-one able to find him.
(Back with Pitch)
Pitch grumbled as he stood up, looking around, he jumped up and looked into Bennett's room, finding it empty he cursed loudly, knowing no-one could hear him, he turned and rushed towards where Sandy and Natura waited,
"What happened?" Natura asked as he landed,
"A Daemon got him, I tried to stop them but they bested me" Pitch scowled,
"I know you tried your hardest Pitch and I thank you for it" Natura replied, "But Jamie being caught by a Daemon and Winter's power almost gone, there is little to no hope for us… we must face the fact that we have a large chance of losing this battle"
Then we shall have to fight harder Sandy replied, Or try and Rescue Jamie.
"It could take weeks to find the child, and… he doesn't even believe in any of you anymore… so how would we get him out of there?" Pitch asked,
"We should speak with the others, maybe they'll have a plan" Natura nodded,
They all nodded, and rushed off unaware that the last of the locks were now in danger of breaking and a being was ready to escape…
Hope you enjoyed!
See you all soon BenneFrosters!
