Thank you all for the reviews! They were great! I enjoyed reading them all. I understand your pain about cliffhangers. They are horrible and cruel, but an excellent way of keeping people interested. In all honesty I was just tired and I ended the chapter at a decent enough point and slept for a few hours. It was around three in the morning it shouldn't happen in this chapter no worries.

Dylan pulled the sword out of Pitch and was thrown back by a huge Russian. North had finally defeated all of the nightmares around himself and went to help Pitch and Jack. Possibly a moment too late, but what's done is done. As North fought Dylan, Jack caught Pitch and gently lowered him to the ground. He pulled his hoodie off and pressed it against the wound to try to stop the blood flow.
"Jack!" Tooth yelled from across the lair.
"I'm a bit busy at the moment!" Jack yelled through clenched teeth. "Stay with us Pitch! You were just starting to be good!"
"J-Jack, go see Jamie." Pitch coughed out a bit of blood coming up.
"I have to take care of you first!" Jack said as small golden hands gently moved his out of the way. Jack looked over to see Sandy.
"B-bring Jamie over he-here." Pitch coughed out. "I-I'm going to wa-wake him up."
"What will happen to you?" Jack asked as Sandy was shaking his head.
"T-the boy deserve more then me." Pitch said not looking at Jack.
"NO!" Jack yelled standing up. "You are not going to kill yourself and Jamie isn't going to die!" Jack looked at Dylan and North. He flew to Dylan and grabbed him by the shirt slamming him into the wall. "Fix this! Wake Jamie up and get out of here! Leave all children alone!"
"Jack it's too late!" Dylan said rolling his eyes. "One of them is going to die shortly. Which one would you rather live without.?"
Jack did not have to decide Bunny had already brought Jamie over to Pitch. Tooth was crying quietly away from them. North was standing by Jack and Dylan just in case he had to step in. Jack's grip loosened a bit and North quickly grabbed the fearling. Jack flew over to Pitch and Jamie. Sandy was still holding the hoodie to the wound it was very red now. Jack knelt down and took Pitch's hand.
"A-after I wake him fly him out of here." Pitch said quietly. "I don't want him to see."
Jack nodded and Pitch painfully sat up. He put a hand over Jamie and a little bit of black sand showed up.
Jamie...
Jamie was in a corner he cursed himself for allowing himself to get trapped in the corner like this. Jack was still coming towards him an evil glint in his eye. Jamie tried to take a calming breath but stopped from the pain shooting through him. As far as he could tell he had a broken wrist and several broken ribs. He was also covered in head to toe in bruises, but that was an entirely different matter in itself.
"Jack please!" Jamie cried he heard Sophie pounding on the door. "At least wait until Sophie isn't home she shouldn't hear this!"
"It shouldn't matter this isn't real right?" Jack laughed. For a nightmare the pain sure did feel real was all Jamie could think. "I am going to kill you I hope you realize that."
"I kinda figured." Jamie muttered before he could stop himself. Jack's fist hit him hard. He now had a black eye to add to the list of injuries.
"Don't be a smart ass!" Jack yelled.
"Jacky stop!" Sophie yelled through the door.
"Get in your room before I bring you in here too!" Jack yelled his face turning red from anger.
"Leave her alone!" Jamie yelled as Jack walked towards the door. He jumped on Jack and Jack easily knocked him off. Jamie fell on something sharp. He had no idea what it was but it hurt. Thinking about it though it probably should have hurt more.
"Stupid boy." Jack said shaking his head at him. Jamie felt blood pooling around him. "Ruining all our fun."
Everything was growing quiet. Jack's lips were moving but Jamie couldn't make out what he was saying. He felt himself coughing up blood. The metallic taste multiplying in his mouth. Everything around him was vanishing growing darker by the second. For an instant he saw Pitch stand there looking at him in horror. He could tell the man was yelling his name but he couldn't hear it.
"Jamie!" There were so many noises around him. Everything was so loud now. He was in so much pain too. He coughed and heard a gasp as he felt blood coming out of his mouth. "Jamie wake up!" That was Jack! He wanted to cower away to hide, but he couldn't! "Please wake up!" Was he mistaken or was that concern he heard.
"Jack?" He coughed.
"I was too late I'm sorry." A weak voice said beside him. He then heard a soft thud.
"Pitch!" Several voices yelled at once.
Jamie slowly opened his eyes. Jack was beside him looking worriedly at him then at someone else. Jamie could just see the dark robes and realized it was Pitch. As if the shouts weren't a good enough hint. He saw North in the distance with the man who kidnapped him held up by his shirt. He saw Sandy and Tooth next to Pitch. Bunny was standing looking shocked.
"Jamie!" Jack yelled looking at him tears starting to fall down his face. "What did he mean he was too late?"
"You died in the dream didn't you?" Dylan asked Jamie who was still coughing up blood. His body hurt so bad and all he wanted to do was go to sleep.
"What?" Jack asked looking as shocked as Bunny. "No! You're going to be fine Jamie!"
"Take him to the pole!" North yelled slamming Dylan against the wall. "The yetis are excellent medical professionals!"
"What about-" Jack broke off he didn't really want to know if Pitch was gone or not.
"Just go!" North yelled.
Jack gently picked Jamie up wincing as the boy groaned in pain. He was still awake but he was having a hard time keeping his head up. He just wanted to sleep. Jack flew as fast as he could calling on the winds to take him as fast as they could. They were flying dangerously fast. Jack had never actually flew as fast as he currently was.
"Cold." Jamie muttered weakly. "So tired."
"Stay awake!" Jack said desperately. "Please Jamie stay with me!"
"Trying 's hard." Jack frowned the boy's words were broken and he sounded so weak. Jamie coughed and some blood landed on Jack. "Sorry.."
"Don't worry about it Jamie." Jack said concentrating on flying. "Just stay awake and think of the snowball fights and snow days we can have when you get better."
"Don't think I-I will." Jamie said barely louder then a whisper.
"We're at the pole Jamie!" Jack said as he saw North's building come into view. "Just a bit longer!"
"Sorry Ja-" Jamie trailed off and fell limb in Jack's arms. Jack flew through an open window and landed gently.
"PHIL!" Jack chocked out tears flowing freely. "Jamie! Please wake up!" The yeti still wasn't here. "PHIL GET IN HERE NOW!"
Several yetis and elves rushed into the room. The Elves stopped at the door when they saw a shirtless bloody Jack holding a lifeless Jamie in his arms. The yetis took Jamie from him and Phil picked Jack up as he tried to go after them. He set Jack down in a chair and said something in yetish.
"I have to make sure he's okay!" Jack cried. "Please let me go with them."
Phil just shook his head and hugged the boy. He knew that his yeti brethren would try and save Jamie, but it was probably too late. Jack cried into the yeti fur until the other guardians returned a tied prisoner with them. North had Phil take the prisoner to get medical help. He took Phil's spot hugging Jack as he cried. Soon the boy had cried himself to sleep. North just help him there for a while. All of the guardian's were trying to take in what had happened.
A Line!
Jamie was confused as he looked around at his surroundings. He was in the forest by his house and it was snowing. It was summer time though. He walked for a bit until he came to the lake. Jack's lake. There was a girl standing there smiling at him. She had long brown hair and brown eyes she was wearing a brown dress. She didn't look more then seven or eight years old.
"Hello Jamie Bennett." She said he noticed the smile was sad.
"Who are you?" He asked wearily. "Where am I?"
"I'm Jack's little sister." She said Jamie's eyes widened. "I'm guessing we are at the lake Jack drown in."
"He drown in this lake?" Jamie asked stunned. "Jack has a younger sister?"
"Had. I died a while ago." She said sadly. "He drowned to save me, but that's something you should ask him about."
"If you're dead does that mean I am?" He asked worriedly. He couldn't leave Sophie and Jack yet.
"No, Jamie you need to wake up." She said gently. She walked over to him and put a hand on his shoulder. "Tell Jack I love him and miss my big brother dearly. Tell him I said thank you."
A line!
After waking up Jack could be found sitting by Jamie. The yetis had managed to bring him back, but the boy had yet to wake up. Jack noticed Jamie's hand twitch slightly. He got very excited and watched the boy even closer.
"Jamie?" He asked cautiously.
"Jack?" Jamie asked blinking looking around him.
"Jamie you're alive!" Jack yelled hugging him.
"I talked with you're sister." Jamie said as Jack let go of him.
"What?" Jack asked shocked.
"She said you drowned to save her?" Jamie asked. "Why didn't you tell me that?"
"It's in the past." Jack shrugged. "How did you talk to her?"
"I don't know. She said she loves and misses you. She also said thank you." Jamie said tiredly. The boy fell back asleep. His body still had a lot of recovering to do. Jack pulled the hood of his new blue hoodie up and with out looking back walked out of the room.
Kinda short. Let me know what you think! I love hearing from you all. I didn't give Jack's sister a name because I honestly thought her name was Pippa and that is not the case and I don't really feel like getting into the character name game so she's just Jack's sister.
