Thanks for all the reviews, so (As Promised) Here is the next chapter, while I Listen to him once again watching and Laughing at Avengers Assemble, for which he is (I think Planning to write a FF which has Jack Frost in as one of the Avengers….. :) ).
Chapter Five: Knowledge is a Powerful thing
Though Jack was now more prominent around the house, though he still remained practically silent, only speaking a few words occasionally. Though Jack's sudden appearance Around the house made Sophie seem to wonder what had happened, but she never questioned it, just watched Jack as if curious to see if she could find out what's happened.
However, she could never seem to watch him for long enough to determine the cause of his anguish, though she had stopped referring to him as he 'Adopted-Brother' and started calling saying he was her Brother-In-Law, even Jamie smiled about that part, Sophie always did enjoy teasing people, though as the day continued, she kept finding herself, dangled upside down by a trick rope, placed there by a certain Winter Spirit.
They had spent most of the day having a large snowball war with the entire childhood population of Burgess, though the Victor's were easily Jack, Jamie and Sophie, due to Jack's ability to create Perfect Snowballs.
The Rest of the day Jamie, Sophie and Jack had spent inside the house, sitting, chatting, eating and drinking. Sophie desperately tried to get answers from either Jack or Jamie. However Neither Boy revealed anything, to do with either what had happened or Manny.
That Night, Jamie and Jack were (Once again) Alone in the house (Sophie having rushed out to go Late night shopping) and sitting at the Kitchen Table, this time with a much more vocal Jack,
"But…. We love one another…. Why can't we be together?" Jamie asked sounding hurt
"Your Mortal, I'm not" Jack replied, looking down at the ice-cold cup of (What was) Hot Chocolate, but which seemed to have frozen into an ice lolly like state, only without the Stick stuck in the centre.
"But…. I don't care about that!" Jamie exclaimed, "All I want is to be with you!"
Jack looked up at this point, his eyes full of tears, "But…. You'll grow old and die and I'll still be…."
Jamie had enough, he stopped Jack but kissing him again, lightly.
"Listen" Jamie told Jack as soon as he removed his lips from the others, "I waited 2 Years to tell you, then I find out you love me back, so do you really think I'll let you go?"
Jack looked into Jamie's eyes and saw only the burning flame of truth, "No"
"Good, I'd even Take on Pitch Black single handed if you wanted" Jamie replied, but at the mention of that Name, Jack had once again gone completely still and silent. Jamie picked up on it immediately.
"Jack?" Jamie asked placing a hand on Jack's, the older of the two looked up at Jamie who narrowed his eyes, "What did Pitch do?"
Jack looked at Jamie with very serious eyes, "I Can't….."
"Jack…. Please" Jamie asked,
"No" Jack replied,
Jamie decided to pull out his ultimate weapon, the Puppy Dog Eyes. He made them as wide as possible and then looked up at Jack, "Jack…. Please…. I can't help you until I know what it is that's hurt you"
"Jamie….." Jack breathed,
"Fine… I'll go ask Pitch then" Jamie replied, jumping up
"NO!" Jack exclaimed,
"Then tell me what's wrong!" Jamie replied, looking over at him.
"You won't… like it" Jack replied,
"I don't care, I want to know" Jamie pestered, sitting down looking at Jack intently.
"He…." Jack strated then muttered the next two words looking down at the ground as a shiver went through his body.
Jamie frowned, had he really heard what he thought he heard? "I Didn't hear, can you…..?"
Jack looked at Jamie, tears staining his face, "He…. He" Jack breathed in and looked up at Jamie, "He…. Raped me"
Jamie looked at Jack, Shock, Horror and fear flooding onto his face, he threw himself into Jack's arms, crying too. Jack placed his arms around Jamie, who after a couple of minutes he looked up at Jack, who was has stopped crying, while trying to comfort Jamie.
"I….. I'm so… sorry" Jamie looked at him
"It's not your fault" Jack told Jamie, looking at him.
"But…. I forced you to tell me!" Jamie cried out.
Jack looked at him and then pressed his lips to Jamie's, quieting him.
"Better?" Jack asked, whipping away Jamie's tears.
"Much, you?" Jamie asked smiling slightly happy to see Jack mischievous smile back on his face.
"Strangely, yeah" Jack replied,
"Maybe I should be heading up to bed" Jamie yawned, "But I'll need to make sure you don't have another Nightmare"
"I've been having Nightmares?" Jack asked,
"Every Night" Jamie replied, "But every night I managed to calm you down"
"Oh, but if your too tired." Jack replied,
"No!" Jamie exclaimed, "But I might need protection from nightmares tonight"
Jamie and Jack shared a glance before understanding what Jamie meant. Then they both stood up and walked out, leaving the room empty, much like the cups of Hot-Chocolate.
(The Old Castle)
Pitch walked slowly into the room where Jack 'had' met his end. He looked at where Jack had died, or was supposed to, he decided to visit the room every night, though tonight it felt different, as if the atmosphere had changed within the world, as if a massive pile of fear had been blown to pieces.
Pitch frowned, even if Jack had survived (Somehow), then he would be useless, with Pitch holding the threat of another 'Play Time' with him over his head. But Pitch looked down at the little town at the bottom of the cliff, Burgess was soon to be his, a fortress where none could penetrate, a fortress where only fear existed, no hope, wonder, fun or dreams.
Pitch smiled, within three Days he'd have enough Nightmares and Shadow versions of Immortals to take over the town. Then Pitch realised something, Jack's little friend, Jamie Bennett lived within the town, Maybe rather than threaten to have fun with him, maybe he'd threaten to force Jack to watch as he had some fun with that kid. Then as he killed the kid and then had his fun with Jack and then Ended his life too.
Pitch let his laughter roar around the castle, knowing his new plan would ensure both the suffering and death of Jack Frost.
A Little Bit From Pitchy there, I doubt Pitch will count on Jack being Pissed and Back to normal now….. But oh well let's hope he gets what's coming to him.
Before I update (Again most likey tomorrow (If I get to 30 Reviews), if not Sunday Update)
Hope you enjoyed, next Chapter will see the Guardians meeting with Jack for the first time in weeks.
