"Fine, lets get this over with" Jack mumbled as much to his displeasure. Pitch smiled as he knew that the winter spirit wouldn't say no. This was going to be fun. Chuckling under his breath, Pitch pulled a lever on the panel beside him and Jack looked around for a whirring sound was heard.
Jack wasn't sure if this was a test or not but it wasn't. Instead another side of the wall on the left side of the spirit opened up and there, standing on a stool each, were the four other Guardians. Each of them had chains wrapped around their wrists that were strung up to the ceiling so they were pretty much helpless.
"Guys!" Jack said running towards but he couldn't help them for there was another glass wall in front of him. Tooth's violet eyes perked up at the sight of him.
"Jack you're okay!" she said happily although her voice sounded strained. They all looked very tired and strained in fact. It looked like they have stood on those stools for a long time, Jack thought. Jack could make out the marks around their wrists from the chains much to his disgust. They must have tried to break free. Pitch have no right to do that to them!
"Jack, you hurt?" North asked and Jack shook his head. Not yet I'm not, Jack thought silently. He cast Sandy a look and the golden little man formed the image of a chain with a figure tugging on it as if to say the chains couldn't be broken. Jack nodded sadly and looked at Bunny.
"You okay Kangaroo?" he asked trying to light the mood a little bit. Bunny cracked a smile though at the nickname he hated.
"Yeah I'm good mate" Bunny said, "Although these chains are a bloody pain" he added and Jack smiled. Yes, Bunny was fine. A coughing came from Pitch and the Guardians glared at him.
"Now Jack, we can begin" Pitch said smiling. Jack nodded and pressed his hand on the glass before walking back to the centre of the room. North looked confused. If jack wasn't with them, then what was Pitch up to? He didn't have to think long.
Pitch smiled and cleared her throat, "Now then, let's start your first test" he said and Bunny rudely interrupted.
"Test? What test?" he snapped and Pitch rolled his eyes.
"Shut it Rabbit. You don't want to make this harder for Jack do you?" he asked casting a smirk in Jack's direction. Jack's anger burned like fire in him and he clenched his fists so hard, his knuckles went whiter than his skin. "Just watch and observe" Pitch said and that only made Bunny more angry.
North could see he was about to burst and Tooth saw this too. "Calm down Bunny. We don't want Pitch to hurt Jack so don't make him mad" she whispered and hearing this, Bunny eased up. As much as he hated Jack's pranks and names for him, he still cared about him and he couldn't bear it if he got hurt. He still had to say something though.
"Well if he's doing tests then you're going down ya bloody creep" Bunny retorted and at this, North, Tooth and Sandy smiled as they had full confidence in Jack. Pitch didn't seem bothered by this.
"I never said that they would be… easy tests" he said with a hint of amusement and the Guardians now had dismayed and worried looks on their faces.
"Are we going to do the tests or not?" Jack snapped for he was sick of Pitch's teasing already. He was going to get out of here with his friend's whether Pitch liked it or not.
Pitch said nothing back but he pulled a lever on the panel. A clinking noise was heard and a shiny object shot across the floor and stopped at Jack's bare feet. Jack hopped away from it as he felt it scratch his toes. He then looked down at in awe and when he picked it up he could clearly see what it was and it almost made his heart stop. It was a sharp knife that glinted with danger in the dim light. Jack stared at it; a feeling of dread churning in his stomach as he knew what this meant.
The others saw the knife and the gasped in horror. This time Pitch had taken a step too far! Jack ran a finger across the surface of the blade and it made him shudder. "This first test will be for your fellow friend Sandy" Pitch said looking at the Guardian of Dreams who cast him a death glare back. "All you have to do is slice the blade deeply across your shoulder. Simple as that" Pitch said gleefully.
Hehe…. Me and my cliffhangers:) If you have read my other fics then you will know my love for cliffhangers XD Okay, five more reviews should get you the new chapter with Jack's test result! Thanks guys! xxxx
