Confessions

Chapter 5

I STILL DON'T OWN RISE OF THE GUARDIANS!

P.S. To clear up any confusion, Caleb and Claude are the twins. Jane is the girl that is not Cupcake or Sophie. Sammie is Cupcake. Pippa is Jack's sister. Monty is the blonde boy who is always with Jane. Not sure if those are their names in the movie but that's how I felt like putting it so deal with it!

Jack was trapped. The moment Pitch took Jamie was burned into his mind. All the things that he could have done assaulted his consciousness.

"Jack, come on, you can't help Jamie like this. The other ankle-biters are here to help."

Jack broke through his haze. "Sammie?" he asked.

"She's right here Frostbite," Aster said, relieved Jack had finally come out of his coma-like state.

"And Jamie?" Jack asked, hoping it had all been just a dream.

"Pitch still has him. North, most of the yetis, and the boys are working on fixing the globe so we can find Pitch and Jamie," Aster said, running a paw through Jack's snow white hair.

"Where are Sandy and Tooth?" Jack asked, sitting up.

"They're with Sammie, Sophie, and Jane. When North told Sammie what happened, she just, kind of shut down. Sandy gave her some dream to calm her down. She should be fine when she wakes up," Aster said.

Jack got out of the bed and moved over to stand by Sammie's bed.

"How's she doing?" Jack asked.

Tooth looked up from where she was running her hand through Sammie's hair. "The poor girl's heart-broken. The sooner we find Jamie, the better, for everyone."

Sandy nodded, a picture of Jamie over his head.

"I know, especially for Jamie. Will you come get me when she wakes up?"

Sandy nodded and resumed his vigil over Sammie.

"I'm going to Burgess. I need time to think."

"Alright, I'll come get you when Sammie wakes up," Aster said.

"Thanks," Jack said, giving Aster a quick hug. "Sophie, will you come with me?" Jack asked softly, putting his hand on her shoulder.

"Sure," Sophie said, standing and following Jack out of the room.

"Here, meet me at the tree-house. I need to fly, clear my head," Jack said, tossing Sophie a portal.

With a nod, Sophie whispered her destination to the portal and opened it. Looking back she said, "We'll find him Jack. Before Pitch does anything to him," and stepped through the portal.

Jack smiled sadly and took off, heading for his pond.
