OMG so I just want to apologize I did not intend for this update to be so late! With the holidays and starting a new job I've been working non stop and with one day off ah it's just been crazy with back to back shifts! AGAIN I'M SO SORRY I feel so bad for not being able to get a chapter up sooner! I have some fun plans though :3 (well I think they are lol) I hope you enjoy!

Jack and Jamie left the group, walking down the sidewalk, across the street and to the park which was small and quite. It was cold out, but not as cold as it should have been. Things were starting to warm up without Jacks help to keep winter going.

Jack gazed at him when Jamie wasn't paying attention, he hadn't really change, he was still that boy he meet about ten years ago but his baby face was gone, a more soft, older face replaced it. He looked so mature for his age, which Jack though about to be around twenty-one, twenty-two now.

They found an empty bench and sat side by side. "It's really good to see you Jack, despite the circumstances." He beamed. Jack returned the smile, "So am I but-and don't take this the wrong way-how is it even possible that you can still see me? I though kids stopped seeing us after a certain age."

Jamie nodded and turned his gaze towards the gray sky. It was still bright but with all the clouds it blocked out most of the sun. "If I heard North right…because I was the first child to believe in you, I got to choose whether to continue to believe in you or not. Why wouldn't I choose to?" Jacks smiled widened.

"Well that's great then, I'm sorry I didn't know, I didn't think there was such a thing…you know me and rules, I barely abide by them let alone read them." He chuckled. "Thanks for your help by the way."

"Of course, wouldn't have dreamed of turning you down." Jamie looked back towards Jack a big grin on his face.

They talked for hours, though it hardly felt like a few minutes. Jack asked Jamie about college, how his family was but mostly about his sister. Jamie heard stories from Jack about traveling around the world, being a guardian; how he liked it, what he didn't like about it. There wasn't much he didn't like about being a guardian except for the meetings they had, they were boring when North hosted them, and sometimes Tooth was too, all she talked about was teeth.

"Well your welcome to stay with me until this whole thing blows over, I wish there was more I could do." Jamie sighed, a bit of frustration in his voice. Jack patted his shoulder, "Jamie you're doing enough, really, I just wish they had told me, I would have rather left your out of it."

"Isn't that nice, a friendly reunion..makes me sick." A chilling voice with a bit of disgusted to it cut through. Jack looked away from Jamie fast and saw Pitch strolling towards them. He stopped a few feet away placing his hands behind his back. "My my, you've grown…aren't you a little old to believe in fairy tales?" Pitch mused. Jamie stood fast and somewhat stood in front of Jack as he stood at the same time.

"Jamie don't." Jack grabbed his arm.

"Yeah Jamie don't." Pitch smirked, one eyebrow raised. Pitch raised his arm, sending out a large cloud of black dust, moving fast and covering a good portion of the surrounding area. "You know I love traps just as much as the next guy, but not when I see them coming." He glared, just as the other guardians rushed in, next to Jack and Jamie.

Jack glared towards tooth and Bunny, "Did you guys use us as BAIT!"

Tooth's face twisted in panic and she didn't know what to say, Bunny on the other hand could have written a novel. "How'd you think we were going to get him out mate? He wants you." Bunny smiled and hopped out of the way as Jack foot stepped towards him.

"How pitiful…you really think you can take me on? You're barley standing on any powers anymore."

"We beat you before, we will do again!" North drew his swords. Pitch laughed, leaning his head back then snapping it forward.

"The only reason you won was because of him." He pointed to Jack, "Any now he's no use to you. So I tell you what. I'll spare you-all of you, if you just hand over Jack." Pitch glanced at Jamie with an evil grin. Jack glanced at Jamie; he understood now why Pitch didn't attack sooner. He needed Jamie out in the open to use against them or more against him, they wouldn't let an innocent guy-let alone Jamie, come to any harm.

"Fin-."

"No Jack, just take Jamie and get back to North's sleigh!" Tooth cut him off, pulling him and Jamie to start moving as swirls of gold and black collided around them. Jamie didn't protest but Jack had a few choice words as he was dragged away by Jamie out of the way, towards the sleigh.

"Don't say I didn't warn you." Pitch was shooting black arrows at Sandy who was barely missing them, though he knew what would happen if he got hit my just one and he would rather not deal with that again.

Running about where Pitch's nightmare creatures, biting at Tooth and her fairy's and trying to trample Bunny. North was fighting off his own small cluster of the creatures. Pitch had sent more of his minions after sandy and took to the sky, watching the chaos. He wore a wicked smile, he knew he was winning and there was nothing at this point to stop him. He held all he power, all the moves in his hand. His eyes traveled down to Jack and Jamie. He shook his head, as if they could get away, they had nowhere to run, nowhere to hide from him now. Black dusk swirled around him as he moved down towards the two.

"Jack we have to get you away from here." He took his arm turning to stand between him and Pitch as his feet landed softly on the ground. "He's not going anywhere but with me." He grinned.

Jamie glared, "No he's not!" Jamie rushed forward, Jack yelling no, and Jamie took a swing at Pitch, who only laughed as he caught Jamie's swing, pulled him closer and twisted his arm behind his back. "Do you still have those nightmares Jamie? People thinking you're crazy for still believing in the tooth fairy, Santa Clause?" Jamie yelled as Pitch pulled up higher on his arm.

Jack stepped forward, "Pitch stop, you want me, just leave him out of this!" Pitch chuckled.

"How does it feel Jack to be so human, so weak?" He pushed Jamie down, kicking his in the gut then stepping over him, out stretching his hand towards Jack. "I told you before, we're meant to work together Jack, our powers together, and we'll be unstoppable." Jack stumbled back before Pitch grabbed his neck and pulled him forward. "We'll create a frozen nightmare wonderland Jack, can't you see it?"

"No I don't see anything involving you but the Guardians kicking your ass back to the hole you crawled out of!" He struggled against Pitch's tight grip.

He leaned in smiling and put his lips against Jack's cheek, close to his ear, "I'm not giving you much of a choice." He laughed pulling Jack in against his own body, black dust swelling around them both. Jack saw nothing but darkness, and felt suffocated by the dust and Pitch holding him. Jack's body was struggling to get away as his mind got foggy with his own nightmares.
