Hey school and everything as keep me really busy. I know this is short but I promise the battle is in the next chapter. :) Enjoy Chapter 11: Confused Child!
"Hello Jack." Master says happily as he comes into view from the shadows.
Jack whimpered softly and tried to move away as much as he could.
Master clicked his tongue, much like a disappointed parent would, and smiled evilly at him. "Now Jack, that is no way to say hello."
Jack knew Master would just hurt him if he didn't take the hint so reluctantly he moved closer to the Nightmare King and keep his eyes on the floor.
"H-Hello Mas-Master." He says quietly.
Master's grin widens as he pats Jack's head, making him wince at the contact. "Good boy. Much better."
Jack stayed quiet as he moved away as quickly as he could.
Master laughed as he took in a deep breath. "Oh your fear is so…intoxicating. Sweet with a biting chill, very different from any other fear I have ever collected."
Jack just listened fearfully; it was a stupid hope, but maybe if he pleased him with his fear maybe he wouldn't make the nightmares as bad.
Suddenly Master cocked his head, as if listening to something far away. His evil grin turned into a hateful sneer, he looked at Jack closely making him shrink back.
"How did you contact them, how?!" Master grabs his shirt and pulls him up to the bars, a dark look on his face.
"I-I-I don't know what you're talking about, Master." Jack says quickly.
Master watched him for a moment before throwing him across the cage, his back hit the other side of it and he winced.
"Blast Manny. Well no matter I will not let them take you back, you are mine now." Master sneers at last part at him before stalking back into the shadows.
Suddenly a jolt went through him when he realized something. He wasn't in a nightmare, Master had forgot to put him back to sleep.
What was he going to do now?
Like a skittish animal he moved toward the cage's door slowly. His eyes twitching this way and that as he watched for Master or one of his pets. Nothing the area around him was empty; no soft, hardly heard clops of hooves or clicks of Master's shoes.
As slowly as immortally possible he reached his thin hand through the bars and closed it around the latch.
Could he finally be free?
R&R PLZ! :D Ta.
