The next chapter if here at last! I hope you all enjoy it! Thank you very much for the reviews! To answer a question Jamie is eleven years old and Sophie is six. Anyway on with the chapter!
Jamie sat by Jack's bed side. He was worried sick. Bunny was sitting across the room painting an egg. Jamie was staring at a sleeping Jack. Jack had fallen asleep shortly after he woke up. North had told the boy that Jack just needed to rest because having a battle for your life inside your nightmares. Jamie was still nervous that Jack wasn't going to wake up again.
"Don't worry child." Jamie turned and saw Pitch standing behind him. Bunny jumped up and grabbed his boomerangs. "Oh calm down! I'm not hurting anyone!"
"You just tried to kill Jack!" Bunny yelled. North came in the room confused.
"What is going on?" He asked looking around. His eyes grew wide when he saw Pitch. "What are you doing here?"
"I just finished battling Dylan in his head and got sent out. When I enter a nightmare I leave where ever the person is." Pitch explained. "I really wouldn't have had myself end up here on purpose."
"Who is Dylan?" Bunny asked not lowering his weapon. He glanced at North noticing the man has not raised his weapons.
"Oh Jack or Sandman didn't tell you guys?" Pitch asked looking from one to the other.
"Jack pretty much woke up said a few words to me and then fell back asleep." Jamie told him not leaving the chair by Jack's bed.
"Sandy left to do his job." North said still weary but not drawing his swords yet.
"Dylan was Jack's best friend in his nightmare. He was a human version of you," Pitch pointed at Bunny. "He was killed regrettably by me while protecting the dream versions of Jamie and Sophie."
"I was in Jack's dream?" Jamie asked surprised.
"How were you fighting him if you killed him?" Bunny asked angrily.
"He was taken over by a fearling that is more powerful then I am. He decided he no longer wanted to help me create fear and nightmares." Pitch walked over to the window in the room. "He is going to do that on his own."
"He took your powers?" Jamie asked.
"The fearlings supplied me with my abilities." Pitch explained. "He just took back what was his. I still have some powers they are just very limited. I can still tell you are afraid Jack is mad at you and that he will never wake up."
"I just didn't mean to say those things to him," Jamie looked down at his hands.
"Until Jack wakes up why don't you come with me." North strongly suggested to Pitch. "I have more questions for you."
"I'll come with you." Bunny said jumping forward as Pitch stepped towards the door.
"Someone should stay with the child in case Dylan come out of the nightmare." Pitch said looking at North.
"Bunny stay." He said as a yeti pushed forward and put a hand on Pitch's shoulder. "Phil and I have Pitch under control."
"At least call Tooth and Sandy back here!" Bunny yelled after the man.
"Do you think he was lying?" Jamie asked Bunny.
"Not really and I am in no rush to meet this fearling he was talking about." Bunny said sighing sitting back down in his chair. "We need to get you home soon."
"It's the weekend I can say I'm at the twins house." Jamie said hurriedly. "Please don't make me leave yet! I want to be here for Jack when he wakes up!"
"I'll talk to the others when they get here." Bunny glanced at Jack. The boy looked so much better then he had a few days ago. He was back to his normal pale color and actually looked like he was sleeping peacefully.
"What do you think he's dreaming of?" Jamie asked.
"Snowball fights with you and your sister. Sledding. Covering Easter eggs with snow." Bunny said shrugging.
"I like when it snows on Easter." Jamie said smiling. "It adds to the egg hunt."
Bunny muttered something and went back to painting an egg.
A line!
"So what happened the day you attacked Jack?" North asked as they entered his office.
"This may take some time to explain." Pitch said sighing and sitting down.
"We have time."
"Alright."
Flashback
Pitch was pacing back and forth trying to thing of more ways to get back at the guardian's. He was above ground for the first time since the last fight he had with them. He was in the forest where Jack Frost normally played around at. Sighing he turned to pace back the other way when he heard yelling.
"Jamie!" That was Frost Pitch thought happily. He could fight the boy now and get it over with. "Jamie please wait!"
"No!" That annoying boy who ruined everything yelled.
"I didn't know!" Jack said desperately to the boy. "I'm so sorry!"
"Sophie and I lost our dad because of you!" Jamie yelled at the white haired boy. He could see that the smaller boy was crying. "You and your dumb ice!"
"I have to freeze the roads. It's part of winter." Jack said sadly.
"I hate winter!" Jamie yelled tears falling faster.
"No you don't Jamie!" Jack said Pitch could feel the fear coming off of Jack. It was exhilarating.
"I hate it and I hate you!" Jamie said before running off towards his house. "Leave me alone I don't want to see you again!"
Jack just stood there stunned. His breathing was increasing. Tears were now openly falling down his face. Pitch smirked as the fear of losing Jamie and of not being believed in started to fill Jack. It was making Pitch more and more powerful by the minute.
"Aw had a falling out with your buddy there Frost?" Pitch taunted.
"Pitch?" Jack spun around wiping the tears away. "What do you want?"
"Same thing as always Jack." Pitch said still smirking.
"Leave the kids alone!" Jack yelled clutching his staff.
"Oh please at the moment I'm not interested in their fears!" Pitch laughed. "Your are so much more powerful!"
"Wh-what are you talking about?" Jack said gulping. "I'm not afraid!"
"You can't hide that from me Jack!" Pitch yelled forming a black ball of sand. "You're afraid Jamie will stop believing in you."
Jack's grip on his staff loosened for a moment then the boy squeezed it tight again.
"I was going to fight you, but now I have a better idea." Pitch said throwing the sand ball up and catching it. "Did you know if you die in dreams you die in real life?"
"So?"
Jack had no time to dodge the ball of sand that was hurtling towards him. His eyes widened and he gasped when it hit him in the chest. Dropping his staff he feel to the ground with a loud thump. Pitch causally walked towards him smiling.
"Time for me to get to work." Then Pitch vanished to form the nightmare inside Jack's head.
End flashback
North sighed and ran a hand across his face. He stood up and walked across the room. Pitch sat quietly watching the large man. A small multicolored elf ran forwards and said something to North. He waved at the small critter and it ran off.
"Jack is awake."
"Already?" Pitch asked confused. "Shouldn't he need more rest?"
"You are forgetting that Jack is a Guardian and does not need as much rest." North said walking towards the door. "Phil is going to watch you while I go and check on Jack. We will finish talking later."
Another line!
Jack stretched and sat up looking around him. He smiled softly when he saw Jamie asleep curled up next to him on the bed. The boy had at least three blankets wrapped around him to keep him warm against Jack's cold. He glanced quickly around the room and saw Bunny was also asleep. The giant rabbit was curled up on the floor asleep.
"I need to get out of this bed." Jack muttered to himself. He flew up careful not to wake Jamie and landed next to the bed. "My staff!" He grabbed the piece of wood and smiled at it.
"Jack?" Jamie muttered rubbing his eyes. He looked behind him on the bed then in a panic around himself. "Jack?"
"Don't worry Jamie!" Jack said walking over to him. "I'm right here!"
"You're awake!" Jamie said happily. He hugged his friend.
"Geez you act like I was asleep for a long time again." Jack said hugging him back.
"How are you not mad at me?" Jamie asked quietly. "I told you I hated you."
"I know you did Jamie. You didn't mean it though." Jack said sighing holding the boy at arms length. "Even if you do stop believing in me and hate me I will still be around for you."
"Why?"
"Cause you're like my little brother and I always take care of my younger siblings." Jack told him. "It's how I became who I am."
"I don't blame you."
"I know bud. It was an accident though I hope you understand that I just freeze the water around me. I never intentionally hurt people." Jack explained.
"I know." Jamie gasped and was staring behind Jack. "Jack, who is that?"
"What?" Jack asked spinning around clutching his staff. Jack gasped when he saw Dylan standing behind him smirking. "Dylan?"
"Hey Jacky!" The fearling said laughing. "Did you miss me?"
