Thanks for all the Reviews, hope you got what you wanted on Christmas…. Anyway on with the Story….

Chapter 3: Manny Explains.

Jamie sat there looking at the moonlight, strange as it was the middle of the day. Then Jamie heard it, a male voice in his head. Jack having Curled up under the Duvet.

Jamie.

"…" Jamie tired to think of something to say to the voice, not knowing if he was going mad.

Jamie Bennett.

"Who Are You?" Jamie asked in his mind.

I Am Manny, Or the Man In the Moon, The Father of the Guardians.

"You must know what happened to Jack!" Jamie practically shouted in his mind,

I do, But you must wait till Jack himself is ready to tell you.

"Okay" Jamie agreed.

Know listen to me, You must help Jack heal…. You're…. Care… for him runs deep. You must help him stop the nightmares.

"How?" Jamie asked,

Simple, when he falls asleep, you must place and hand on him that should calm him

"But…. H-he recoils" Jamie told Manny

I Know, That is how when he sleeps it will help, when Jack Tells you…. You not tell a soul… Especially the Guardians.

"I Promise" Jamie smiled.

I knew I could trust you young one. I am glad Jack chose to go with you.

"What Do you….?" Jamie started.

Another Time, Now I must speak with the Guardians, their likely to visit more often, just make sure that they DO NOT see Jack, he needs rest.

With that the Moonlight Vanished and Jamie stood up. He looked down at Jack who was still curled up under the Blanket. "Jack?" Jamie asked, "I'll be downstairs if you need me"

Jamie stood up and walked out of the room, sparing one last glance for Jack as he left. Jamie walked slowly down the stairs and found Sophie sitting on the phone.

"Sure… Jamie and I can come" Sophie smiled, but Jamie grimaced, it sounded like she was volunteering him for something again. With that Sophie finished the Call and looked up at Jamie, using her Puppy-dog eyes.

"What is it this time?" Jamie asked,

"The Town Christmas Light, switch on" Sophie smiled, "On December 15th"

"Okay" Jamie sighed knowing he had no choice in the matter.

"How's Jack?" Sophie asked,

"Worn out, he's resting" Jamie lied.

"Wow, Didn't know Immortals needed sleep" Sophie replied, looking down, then she looked up mischief in her eyes, "This means Tooth and Bunny will come by more often"

"Likely" Jamie replied, uninterested, "You were going to see them soon enough anyway"

"Really?" Sophie asked

"Yeah, now we live here together, Jack thought it would be nice if we spend Christmas with the Guardians, and go to their Christmas Party" Jamie replied, "I thought it would be a fun surprise if you went to sleep here and woke up at the Pole"

"Can we still go?" Sophie asked,

"Defiantly" Jamie replied smiling

Sophie grinned before checking her watch, "Ah Man, I need to go. Pippa and I are going shopping"

"Don't spend all your Money" Jamie called as Sophie rushed out of the house.

Jamie sat there deep in thought after Sophie left, wondering what could have caused Jack to become so terrified of being touched. Of him.

Jamie knew he'd find out at some point but he was concerned for his Cru-Best Friend. Jamie blushed at the thought he'd just had about Jack being his… Ehm Friend.

(The Pole)

After Hours of fighting, the Guardian's had been forced to retreat by two Exact Duplicates of Jack, they were both even able to use his ice powers. They now all sat around a table nursing their wounds, Bunny had a large Gash over his left arm, Several of Tooth's feathers were missing, North had been kicked in the head by a Fearling horse.

Sandy was the only one of the four to escape uninjured. However they were all glum for one reason, they had managed to get to the Cells and found a scrap of Jack's blue Hoodie in the room along with Blood.

"He can't be dead… he just can't" Bunny kept repeating more to himself than anyone.

"We must prepare for worst" North told Bunny,

"So we just give up?" Tooth asked,

"No, we must choose New Plan" North replied,

"Like what?" Bunny asked, none of them noticed Sandy's desperate attempt to get their attention, as (Yet Again) he was the only one to see Manny's light shining into the room. But as there was no elves around he was forced to Pull one of Bunny's ears till he looked up,

"Manny!" Bunny exclaimed, the Four Guardians jumped up and ran to the light,

Greetings Guardians.

"Manny, we need…" Tooth began

Jack is fine, he is alive.

"Where is….?" North began

Somewhere safe and with people I trust

"You do not trust us?" Bunny asked,

I Trust you, however not to give Jack what he needs at the moment.

"What does he need?" Tooth asked,

The Room was silent for a few minutes a if Manny was debating giving them the Answer. However he spoke in a hushed tone,

Love.

"But We-" Tooth started.

You give him one type of love, the one he requires is far more dangerous. Romantic Love.

"But Who?" North asked

The Only one who ever has… or possibly ever will

This only continued to confuse the Guardians who now stood there with the Question bursting in their mind. Only Sandy stood there in full knowledge of the truth of Manny's words, knowing every Dream ever dreamt, by anyone, Guardian or Human.

"Sandy, You know don't you?" Bunny asked, Sandy nodded however it was Manny who made the first move to communicate.

I would appreciate it if you let Jack Rest, he will return when I deem him ready.

"And when is that?" North asked,

When he is back to himself.

With that Manny left the room, leaving three very confused immortals behind him, now a thousand questions buzzing in their heads, only one knowing the truth…..

And there we go!
