Hey! I was at a soccer tournament this weekend so I didn't have computer access, but I did write this chapter in my notebook! So, finally, here it is!

Oh! And thank you all for the response for the first chapter! I was amazed! You all are amazing!

Review and read on,

Emily


The frigid cold air blew against Jack as he flew. He didn't mind though. After all, he was a winter spirit. All the boy had ever known since he awoke in the icy pond was coldness.

Where he was going he wasn't sure. He just knew that he had to get away. It was obvious that the Guardians didn't care for him. Who would? Pitch had been right! Everything he did turned out to cause disaster. Who was he helping by staying there?

Maybe it would be better if I was invisible. Jack thought. If he were invisible, he wouldn't hurt anyone, and nobody could hurt him. Nobody would have to pretend to be his friend, only to mentally hate him.

Below him, Jack spotted a small town. He watched as people shook hands, laughed, and talked. Little kids ran around playing games, then reluctantly going inside as their mom called them in for bed. The Guardian of Fun lowered himself down onto the ledge of a brown roof and set his staff behind him. Running his pale white fingers through his hair, he sighed.

"Why me," He asked, "Why did you choose me?" Jack looked up at the moon.

"If you think you were helping me you weren't! Thanks for ruining my life Manny, and my after death!" By now Jack was yelling. He paced back and forth on the roof top, screaming and throwing his arms around until he was hoarse and breathing heavily. Part of him wondered if people could hear him below, but honestly he didn't care. He was in rage.

"Well, if it isn't Jack Frost. Finally get tired of being the Guardians play toy, I see?" Jack quickly grabbed his staff and pointed it threateningly at Pitch. Without warning, he fired ice at the Nightmare King.

"Woah! Cool it with the ice, Jack! Ha, get it? Cool it? You know, because it's ice and-"

"Yeah, I get it. Now you have 10 seconds to get away from me." Jack said, sitting back down on the ledge.

"Come on. You know you want to talk to someone. Why not me? I know how you feel." Pitch sat down next to Jack. Jack shrugged, staring at the ground.

"I don't know."

"We are one in the same, Jack. We both have suffered from loneliness, no home, no family, no one to believe in our existence. We both have been squashed down by the Guardians. By the way, I saw your meeting with them." Jack shook his head.

"So I guess your going to laugh at me now, huh? Go ahead, shoot." Jack spread his arms out to add to the effect.

"What? No. I was going to say thank you. Jack, you stood up for me! Bunny was just going finish me off for good, that or lock me away in a closet somewhere! Heck, the others even agreed with him. But not you, Jack. Why not you?"

"Being invisible, having no hope, it's the worst thing in the world. If you were locked up, you would have no hope of ever being seen and believed in again. Sure, you've messed up pretty bad the times you've been believed in, but being a Guardian is about giving others chances to fix mistakes. Guardians are supposed to build up hope, not tear it down." Jack said. To his surprise, Pitch put a comforting hand on Jacks knee.

"Thank you. Jack, do you see now? The Guardians can't be trusted! They are hypocrites! You and I, though, we can build a world of our own! A place of no Guardians, and hope is always around and never broken. We would rule, Jack."

"No. We have been over this, Black. Kids would fear us, not believe in us." Jack said.

"Jack, listen. I swear I will change. I will bring joy to the kids. I swear."

"But how can I trust you? Last time with Baby Tooth-"

"I swear. Look, I will never break a swear on a handshake," He stuck out his hand, "Work with me, Jack, and I will change. I swear." Jack stared at the hand in front of him. It was so tempting, but was it the right thing to do? Could he really trust Pitch? Could he really betray his old friends?

Well, they did betray me. He thought. Looking into the man's eyes, he grasped the hand.

"Deal." He said.

So, how was that? I hoped you liked it! The next chapter should be up soon!
