A/N: So, we're nearing the end of this story. It wasn't very long, only about 10-ish chapters. There is still the matter about the endings. PLEASE DO THE POLL! I don't want to choose the ending for you people, though mine was the one who won with everyone else. BUT PLEASE DO IT. JUST DO IT!

DISCLAIMER: I don't own anything of this story. I'm not joking. I don't own it, I didn't even write it. I got the OK from the writer to put it up. Literally the only thing I own of this story are the author notes, and one of the endings. That's it, nothing else.

Chap. 8 Broken Thoughts

Jack finally stopped when he landed back on his lake. Pitch was still there, smiling serenely.

So Jack, have you finished your little talk? Pitch asked, studying his fingernails.

"What do you mean, 'little talk'?" Jack asked. "You mean where Hiccup tried to kill me? No." A thought crossed Jack's mind. "How do you know about that?"

"I have my sources." Came the calm answer. "Anyways, what happened? You flew off with murderous rage, and now you've come crawling back paler than ever."

It was true. The fire's heat, instead of coloring his skin, made even paler.

"Is that what a hero would do?" Pitch said, taunting him.

"I'm not a hero! I just spent 300 years invisible! That only changed because of you." Jack realized something. "Because of you." He whispered. Then he yelled, "Because of you! You're the reason I'm in this mess. That was your sand in the lake! That's why it wouldn't freeze over. And then you told me to find Hiccup!"

"Now, Jack. I didn't tell you to go after Hiccup. You chose to do that yourself." Pitch corrected. He glanced up at the sky "Speak of the devil." he added

Hiccup came swooping in, riding Toothless. "Jack! You can't hide from-" Hiccup noticed Pitch, still with the calm expression from earlier.

"Hiccup! We were just talking about you." Pitch said.

"Why are you here? I thought you were back-" Hiccup said.

"You thought wrong. I was here, having a nice chat with Jack." Pitch stepped forward, completing the little triangle.

"Chatting with Jack? I thought you said-" Hiccup was interrupted again. He was getting annoyed of it by now.

"What? You two know each other? How?" Jack was confused.

"OF COURSE WE DO!" Hiccup roared. "WHY ELSE WOULD WE BE TALKING TO EACH OTHER?"

"Now, Hiccup, we don't want to be rude." Pitch said, still calm.

"Rude? You told me to kill him!" Hiccup pointed at Jack.

"What? Pitch is your…your boss?" Jack staggered back, shock overtaking him. "So it was you who killed me." Jack rounded on Pitch. "Your sand made sure that I'd fall through. And then you told Hiccup to kill me with fire after I didn't die from drowning! You were behind this all along!"

"Good job. That took you forever. Now have you figured out who my dark prince and princess are?" Pitch asked.

"Hiccup." Jack answered. "And...and Elsa!" Realization dawned on him.

"Yes I was going to have Hiccup marry her and-" Pitch didn't get to finish, because Jack was already gone.

"Jack! You can run but you can't hide!" Hiccup yelled to the sky.
