Disclaimer: I don't own Rise of the Guardians...

North burst into the room anxious to see how Jack was doing. What he saw before him made him stop shocked. Jack was unconscious in the corner by Bunny who was bleeding from a wound on his stomach. He looked around and back at the two.

"Where is Jamie?" He asked Bunny.

"The fearling got him!" Bunny said wincing as he stood up. He put a paw over his wound and pulled it back to look at it. It was soaked in his own blood. "Jack tried to stop him but that thing is strong. A lot stronger then Pitch. He went after Jamie and I jumped in to try to stop him and he... well he got a hit on me." Bunny winced again in pain. "Jack flew up to protect Jamie and the thing did something to him and threw him over there. Just as Jack was passing out the fearling grabbed Jamie and disappeared. I was about to check on Jack when you came in."

"We have to get the boy back." North said frowning deeply. The large man walked over to Jack. He knelt down and looked the boy over. "He has a broken tibia. Other then that as long as he waked up he's fine."

"That's a relief," Bunny sighed. "He should heal quickly right? I mean my wound is already getting better. It's going to hurt for a while though."

"It may take a day of rest. I'll have to set the leg though." North said as he gently picked Jack up and moved him to the bed. The boy groaned in pain and slowly opened his eyes. "Jack? My boy are you awake?"

"North?" Jack asked gasping in pain. "My leg hurts."

"I know."

"Where's Jamie?" Jack asked suddenly sitting up. He gasped in pain and fell back to a laying position.

"The fearling has him. Jack we will find him." North said walking over to the door. He looked at Bunny. "Go get Pitch send Phil in here with supplies to set a broken leg."

"Right." Bunny said leaving the room.

"I failed." Jack said covering his face with his hands. "I couldn't protect him."

"You did everything in your powers to protect him." North told Jack. Jack didn't move his hands. North put a hand on his shoulder. "Look at me Jack."

"If I would have done everything in my power to protect him he would either be here or I would be dead." Jack said moving his hands away from his face.

"So you held back against this thing?" North asked. Jack got mad.

"I did try I just don't feel like I did enough." Jack said not really knowing how to explain himself. "I love that boy like he was my little brother. I died to save my little sister and to make sure she was safe. I should be able to do the same thing for that boy."

"I know you died for your sister and that was a very brave thing you did." North said as Phil opened the door. "This situation is not like that. You have others here with you to help you save Jamie. If you and Bunny both got beaten by this then we all will have to lend a hand. That includes Pitch if he's willing to help us. You are no longer alone Jack."

"I know it just hard..." Jack said looking away from North. Phil walked over to North and handed him the supplies.

"Jack this is going to hurt quiet a bit." He said frowning at the boy.

"What?" Jack asked panic stricken.

"Jack, don't be afraid!" Pitch said coming in the room he was frowning. Jack looked at him wide eyed. "He has to set your leg he's trying to help you. I felt his fear and rushed over."

"I should have explained better." North said frowning. "I'm sorry Jack."

"It's alright I should know you won't hurt me." Jack said calming down. He gave Pitch a smile. "Sorry both of you."

"Phil is going to hold you so you don't move and hurt yourself while I do this." North said calmly as the yeti walked over to him.

"Can't you knock me out or wait for Sandy and have him put me to sleep." Jack asked still full of fear.

"The pain would wake you up." North said he felt horrible about this. "I wish I had something I could give you, but we used up the last pain medication when you ran into that tree a while ago."

"I knew my clumsiness would catch up to me one day." Jack said jokingly. Phil lifted the boy gently and wrapped his arms around him. "Lets get this over with then."

Bunny stood outside the room not wanting to see the pain in Jack's features. He closed his eyes and turned his head away from the room as soon as the cries of pain started. Jack was sobbing and he could hear Pitch saying comforting words to the boy. Confused by that he went into the room. Jack was sniffling but he appeared to be asleep.

"It is done," North said propping Jack's leg up on some pillows. "He passed out."

A Line!

Dylan threw Jamie roughly to the ground. Jamie grunted in pain and sat up glaring at the boy. Sighing Dylan looked around at where they were. He had taken them to Pitch's lair. He didn't really know where else to take the boy. This seemed as good a place as any.

"What do you want?" Jamie asked the thing.

"Why is that always the question everyone asks first?" Dylan asked annoyed.

"It's kinda a good question," Jamie said shrugging. "You beat up my friends and kidnapped me. Most normal people like to know why that happens. What the motive behind everything is."

"I like causing pain and tormenting people." He said shrugging. "It's funny how you consider yourself normal. Your best friend is the winter spirit and you hang out with the Easter Bunny, Santa, the Tooth Fairy, and Sandman. I would think you would think normal is over rated."

"You're horrible!"

"Another cliché response." Dylan rolled his eyes. He walked towards Jamie and pulled out some rope and a gag. "Before you start going on about how Jack is going to kick my ass and the guardians are going to save you time to tie you up and silence you!"

Dylan tied Jamie's hands together then threw the rope up to a well placed beam and pulled it. Jamie was pulled into the air by his hands. He screamed out in pain before Dylan shoved the gag in his mouth. The boy whimpered in pain and tears started falling down his face.

"Shut up or I'll make it worse!" Dylan snapped. He walked away from the boy to find something useful around here. Then he stopped and laughed. "How stupid of me! I forgot I have the powers to make you shut up and sleep!" Jamie's eyes widened as the fearling walked towards him again. Black sand was swirling around him. "I have the perfect nightmare for you!" He said before waving his hand and the sand swirled all around Jamie. Jamie fell into a not so peaceful slumber.

The second line!

Jamie gasped sitting up suddenly. He looked around him everything was dark and he couldn't tell if anyone was around him. He heard a noise so he decided to give into his hope.

"Jack?" He yelled nervously. "Jack please help me!"

"Why would I help you?" A voice answered him. Suddenly the darkness turned into a house. He was in his room and Jack was at his door, but it wasn't the same old Jack. This one had brown hair and brown eyes. Sophie was standing next to him frowning.

"Jack what's going on?" Jamie asked for the first time afraid of the other boy.

"Well you just woke everyone in the house up because you were screaming!" Jack said angrily. "I told you I have important things to do tomorrow! You stupid waste of space!"

"Jack?" Jamie asked tears forming in his eyes.

"I can't even talk to you right now! I have to tuck Sophie back in!" Jack said sighing scooping the little girl up. "You're so lucky mom wasn't home tonight!"

Jamie watched them leave. He was confused as to what exactly was going on and why Jack was human and mean. Jack had never talked to him like that before. He had never even seen Jack truly mad before. What did he mean he was lucky mom wasn't here. His mom wouldn't ever hurt him.

That was short! A third line!

"We have to get Jamie back!" Pitch said his eyes were squeezed shut and he looked like he was in extreme pain.

"Are you alright?" Tooth asked him nervously. Sandy and her had just arrived at the Pole. They had been filled in as to what had happened.

"I can feel Jamie's fear." Pitch said in a pained voice. "This is bad. It's getting weaker."

"That's good isn't it?" Bunny asked confused.

"No, I created this nightmare sand that slowly shuts the body down while the person is trapped in a nightmare." Pitch said rubbing his temples. "Dylan must have used it on Jamie. It lowers the power of the fear that's why I didn't want to use it except for on Jack because I was in the nightmare basically feeding off his fear."

"So he's killing Jamie?" A voice asked from behind them. The five of them spun around and saw Jack holding onto the wall looking grief stricken.

"We will save him." Pitch reassured him.

"I'm still not sure we should even trust you!" Bunny said angrily. "None of this would be happening if you weren't a horrid being!"

"If you can help get Jamie back I could care less." Jack said looking at Pitch. "Where would Dylan take him?"

"My lair. He probably wants to find some weapon or something useful." Pitch said thinking.

"Then we have to go now!" Jack said clutching his staff tight in his hand.

"Jack, even if we get to Jamie the only one who can wake him up is Dylan." Pitch said frowning. "I don't know if I have that power still."

"Well then we will make him wake Jamie up!" Jack said angrily. "Or you will try and wake him. I don't really care how it happens we are going to save and wake Jamie up!"

"Jack, your leg isn't healed yet!" Tooth said fluttering over to him.

"It's good enough!" Jack said forcibly. He looked at North with pleading eyes. "We need to leave! Please North. I need to save Jamie!"

"Jack is right we must protect the children." North said standing up and grabbing his swords. "To the sleigh!"

Okay so it's a bit short but here is the update! I feel like this was a fairly uneventful chapter. Anyway let me know what you think by leaving me a review! Until next time!
