Mavis's POV
Mavis rolled over groggily in her bed and groaned. Her bed was so comfortable, the way it only can be in the morning.
"Are you awake, sunshine?" said Jack.
"Mmmmm... What time is it?" Mavis asked.
"10:45" Jack said. That woke Mavis up. She shot into a sitting position, "Why didn't the alarm go off?"
"It did," said Jack, then he caught site of Mavis's glare.
"Why didn't you wake me up?" Mavis asked.
"Because you looked like you needed the rest," Jack replied. Mavis tool a deep breath. She understood when Jack was coming from.
"Why is it such a big deal for you to wake up early?" Jack asked.
"It's the only time of the day I get to see my dad," Mavis said sadly. Jack's eyes filled with guilt and empathy, "It's ok, though, I'll try again tomorrow," Mavis said. She started to get up.
"What are you doing?" asked Jack.
"Going down stairs to eat," Mavis said. She made toast and buttered it. Then she scarfed it down, and ran upstairs and brushed her teeth, hair, put in her contacts, and applied her little amounts of make-up. Then she grabbed her jeans and pulled in a Beatles t-shirt. Then she walked back down the stairs to see Jack talking with someone. What the- she thought. She peeked around the corner trying to get a view of the new being in the room, and here what Jack was saying. Jack sounded angrier than he has ever been.
"If you touch her, you'll have the fight of your life," Jack said. The new figure just laughed. Then she caught a site if his eyes. They were a starting yellow. He must have seen Mavis staring because he winked at her and said, "I would leave to comfort your scared little girlfriend, if were you," said the man who she had just realized was none other than Pitch Black. Pitch vanished as Jack aimed his fist at the place Pitch had been standing.
"Jack?" Mavis asked quietly. He looked at her with a martyred expression on his face. He opened his arms towards her, and she fell into them, shivering i.
"Shhhh..." Jack murmured, "It's alright. I won't let anything happen to you. Don't be scared. I've got ya."
