Chapter 23 – The truth

I flew over the forest, looking for the cave that Pitch supposedly hiding in but what if the witch was lying? She could have led us on a wild goose chase so she could get to Pitch and warn him first. All my paranoid thoughts disappeared when I spotted a large pile of boulders arranged as a cave tucked away between the trees. I swooped down beside it, backing up against the outside wall and peering into the entrance. I could barely see anything due to the darkness but it was dimly lit by the now present moon, enough to make out the rough insides of the walls. Empty, the cave was deserted.

"Damn it." I muttered to my self as I stepped back.

"Frost?" Scoffed someone behind me. I swiftly turned, wand out to see Pitch standing there, hands behind his back.

"Pitch." I scowled at him as walked towards me.

"Well, its about time you got here." What did he mean? He'd been waiting for me? Just then, Bunny came running up behind me panting with Merida, Rapunzel and Hiccup following up behind.

"Oh look, and you brought friends!" He grinned menacingly, watching the others as they caught their breath. They'd obviously been running as fast as they could to catch up with me. Pitched circled around them, stopping at Bunny then looking at me with confusion.

"Who's this guy?" Bunny glared at him, stepping forward.

"I'm the Easter Bunny, mate." Pitch burst out laughing as he circled back round to stand in front of me.

"Well, Rabbit, not sure about the new look but whatever floats your boat." He continued laughing until I thrust my wand at him.

"Tell us what you want, Pitch." I narrowed my eyes at him, clenching my fist.

"You, of course." Wait, what?

"What do you want Jack for?" Merida question as she stepped forward. Pitch just bit his knuckle, trying to hold back laughter.

"Oh, how precious, they don't know who you really are, do they? Go on Jack, tell them." Pitch stared at us excitedly as I sighed and turned around, holding my wand to my side.

"Pitch is right, it's about time you knew the truth..." All three watched me curiously as I took in another deep breath.

"300 years ago- ."

"Ooo story time!" Pitch said sarcastically as I gave him an evil look before looking back.

"-a boy saved his little sister from falling into a frozen lake. But that boy died that day whilst saving her. He drowned in the freezing water. But he was saved. By the moon, who gave him a new life. He gave him special abilities and set him on his way. The boy spent the next 300 years wondering around this planet. Searching for a reason. He couldn't remember his sister or any of his family. He didn't know why the moon had saved him but he eventually figured out who he was, with some help." I smiled at Bunny as I said the last bit.

"Jack, what are you trying to say?" Rapunzel looked confused, as well as Merida and Hiccup standing beside her.

"That boy... that boy was me." All three just stared at me in astonishment as the truth came out.

"So...you're 300 years old?" Hiccup asked.

"Yes, well, 318..."

"Right, so you're not actually a wizard?"

"No, I'm not even human. I'm a winter spirit. That's why I can fly and summon the winter elements. Didn't you realise that all my 'spells' where ice related?" Hiccup rubbed his arm thoughtfully, thinking about all the times I'd used 'magic'.

"So, if you're not magic, how did you fix your wand?" Merida asked curiously. I held up my wand, showing them the twisted wood and frost circling around it.

"Because it's not a wand..." As if Manny had heard me, a trail of blue glitter started circling around it, changing it back. It started getting longer, the end started to bend into a crook as the whole thing started stretching before the blue sparkle faded away, leaving my staff. I smile grew on my face as I examined my old friend, almost hugging it in relief. Instead, I swung it around a bit then rested in on shoulder. All three faces in front of me where agape, staring at my staff in awe. I looked up through the trees at the brightly shining moon, smiling to my self.

"Alright Manny, it's my turn." I closed my eyes as I felt the beam of white light lift me up from the ground, my whole body glowing blue once more. Half way through the transformation I realised something. They wouldn't be able to see me anymore, I'd be invisible again. A rumor, a story, nothing more. I reopened my eyes as Manny settled me back down on the ground, inspecting my body with my hand. I already felt more like myself, Manny had even changed my clothes back to my frosted blue hoodie and tattered brown pants. I felt good until I looked up and saw Merida, Hiccup and Rapunzel staring in my direction, eyes blank of emotion.

"I knew it, they can't see me." I looked at Bunny who smiled at me sympathetically with sad eyes.

"Sure we can." I snapped my attention back to the three who where now walking up to me.

"Wait, you can see me?"

"Of course we can, why wouldn't we?" Of course! Everyone in the school had at least seen me, they all knew I existed. Therefore, they believed. I laughed to myself in disbelief, looking back to Bunny who was smiling back at me.

"Bunny, you should change back to." He nodded with a smirk as the moon's light shifted from me over to him, lifting him up in the air the same way as it did with me, except the glowing light emulating from his body was green instead of blue. I quickly turned back to Hiccup, Merida and Rapunzel before the transformation ended.

"By the way, the Easter Bunny is real and Professor Jackman is him." I was hoping at this point, they'd believe anything. Bunny was lowered back to the ground in his Pooka form, boomerangs strapped firmly to his back.

"Man, it feels good to be back." I laughed in delight as Hiccup, Merida and Rapunzel all gasped excitedly.

"Oh my god, he's so cute!" I waved my hands frantically at Rapunzel with wide eyes.

Don't call him cute I mouthed at her as she quickly closed her mouth, smiling apologetically at Bunny.

"Oh this is so touching!" Pitch called sarcastically from behind us, folding his arms across his chest impatiently as he rolled his eyes.

"Can we please continue with the whole me being evil thing? All this cuteness is just gross." He scoffed as I turned fully around, sighing.

"Fine...please, continue telling us your evil pan." I said sarcastically as I lent on my staff.

"Well, I'm gonna kill you."

"Wait what? This whole thing was just to get me here?"

"Of course! I knew that the Guardians would send you if there was a threat at a school. You are the youngest after all."

"Okay, I understand why you want to kill me, but why put in this much effort? I mean, why this school?"

"Don't you get it Jack, everyone in this school believes in me, they're all afraid of the Boogieman! I'm more powerful then ever!" He threw his arms up in the air dramatically, black sand dripping from his fingers.

"But you're forgetting something Pitch, everyone believes in me to. God only knows what I could do to you." I smirked at him, pointing my staff towards him.

"But you won't attack me." He smiled confidently, like he knew something I didn't.

"Oh yeah? And why not?"

"Because I have her." He clicked his fingers with a smirk. I black cage appeared in front of him made of sand with a little colourful bird inside. Babytooth! He'd captured her, locked her in cage. I couldn't let this get to me, I had to stay strong, pretend like I didn't care.

"It's just a dumb fairy..." I scoffed as little grains of sand tumbled down the edge of the cage.

"Oh really? What about this then?" He clicked his fingers again as his smirk grew into a grin. We all looked over to the noise coming from the cave as Professor Gothel came out from behind it, dragging something behind her. I knew I should've made someone stay with her. I almost screamed as I saw what she was hauling across the soil. Small boy. Shaggy brown hair. Brown eyes.

"JAMIE!"
