Chapter 20
NOT MINE!
"What happened to hurt him so badly?" Jamie asked taking the ice pack off his cheek and pressing the back of his hand to it.
"Do you know how Pitch got turned into the Boogyman?" Katherine asked.
"No, Jack didn't know and I never got the chance to ask North," Jamie said. "What happened?"
"The first Fearling happened. After it infected him the Guardians didn't know what it would do to him. One day Pitch was out with Sandy, spreading dreams.
"He touched one of the dreams and it turned into a Nightmare. He ran, terified. The Nightmare followed him and they were soon joined by other Nightmares ones that he had not created, then the Fearlings joined him."
"How did that hurt him so badly?" Jamie asked, grabbing one of the cookies Katherine had just taken out of the oven.
"Sandy. The way Sandy looked at him after he made his first Nightmare. As if he was the most disgusting thing he had ever seen," Katherine said, turning to face Jamie.
"Sandy? And Pitch? Were they a couple?" Jamie asked, taking a bite of his cookie.
"Yes, that's what turned him into the Boogyman, the Nightmare King. He is Sandy's oppsite."
"Wow. I never imagined Pitch like that. What was he like?" Jamie asked, taking a drink of milk.
"I never met him. North wasn't even born yet, let alone a Guardian," Katherine said.
"Oh," Jamie said, "What was he the Guardian of?"
"He was the Guardian of Courage. He helped children overcome their fears."
