Chapter 27: Promises

After breakfast Kristoff took Jack, Olaf and Hiccup back to his car. The brunet double checked all their belongings in the car and cabin. The four teens said their goodbyes and got into the car. As the car back out the wooden area Jack stuck his head out the window shouting, "Don't be a stranger when ya see us school man!" Kristoff laughed, "You got it man." The green truck took off back into the city.

They decided to drop Ola off first seeing as his house was farthest out of the city. The drive only took an hour and they stopped when Olaf told them too. They stopped in front of a large pair of white and blue gates. The freshmen pressed the intercom and informed the guard who it was, the gate quickly opened. Hiccup looked up at the house in awe, "Whoa". "Big huh?" Jack questioned hearing Hiccup gasp weakly. "Yeah…" Hiccup nodded slowly. The architecture of the three store house was breath taking. "Most of the house is made of glass, Elsa came up with the idea and my mom and dad really liked it." Olaf explained as they got out the car.

Not even seconds later did two young ladies run out the house shouting Olaf's name. Anna, and Elsa both wrapped their arms around their young sibling. Olaf blushed and smiled hugging them back. "Hi guys! I'm back, see? Safe and sound," He smiled as they continued to hug him. "Thank goodness you're ok!" Elsa sighed, Anna nodded with a smile of relief planted on her face. "I think Olaf wins the welcome home greeting this time," Jack whispered to Hiccup who chuckled. "Yeah no doubt," He agreed. "We should probably, ya know go," the brunet stated getting back into the car. Jack followed and they left before the three siblings could send them off. Jack was dropped off at his complex and waved Hiccup off as the car left.

He walked inside and took the elevator up to his apartment. Going to unlock the door he stopped and frown. Something didn't feel right about his house. Opening the door he had the hook of his staff face down, in defense mode. Just as he closed the door someone cleared their throat and the teen almost had a heart attack at the sound. He frowned catching his breath and glared in the direction of the sound, "Dammit Pitch!" He sighed leaning on the door. "It serves you right for not being prepared," The well-dressed man stated bluntly. "Ya could've called," Jack stated. "Oh I did. But it seems someone forgot to charge their phone, while out on his little adventure. He also forgot to tell me he was going out for a full night!" His exclaimed.

Jack was a bit taken back the tone, "Hey, I called my mom and dad and told them I was ok. That I was out with friends and safe," Jack defended. "Yes, but did you inform them that this was a hiking trip? With no adult chaperons or professional guide!" Pitch scolded. "Hiccup is professional! I mean not with a license and all that, but the guy knows the woods like the back of his hand!" Jack explained. "Oh I'm sure he may, but tell me if that is so, why did you not return the evening of?" Pitch asked. Jack was silent, "There was an accident…" He spoke softly looking away. "Ah and this accident was?" Pitch asked. Jack shook the thought, "Hey hiking isn't something new to me ya know! I've done it plenty of times!" Pitch rolled eyes, "You've done that at home! With the safety of your parents your Uncles and Aunt. This is not home Jack! You're still learning and learning takes patience. You can't just up run around when you feel like it, that's reckless and you can't afford to be reckless." He informed the teen. Jack huffed, "Reckless!? Oh please I of all people know patience and I know how to handle myself in a new place! Besides I wasn't even alone!" Pitch now stood and walked up to the teen, "You'd put your life in the hands of a stranger?" Jack frowned, "Hiccup is not a stranger! He's my friend and the guy just needed some help to get through some things. I thought… I don't know, if I reach out my hand to help he'd feel better." Jack shrugged and Pitch eased up on his angry tone, "And who will help you, if you get lost, or injured or worse!? You're not invincible Jack."

Jack's eyes widened slightly at those words, looked away and sighed ruffling his hair. "I know that… but I'm also not weak. I can't live… won't live my life scared to take chances because of this," he placed his hand in front of his face. "You and everyone else believed that I could be just as normal and great as I was without my eyes, well I'm trying to be! I'm trying to believe that, and I do! So… I'm sorry I worried you… and I know I should've thought about me before going out into the wood without an adult, but_" He was silent for a moment and kept his head down. "Everyone worked so hard to get me back on my feet… Everyone held out their hands to help me… I just wanna do the same… like you guys taught me." He said softly now facing Pitch eye to eye.

The business man was silent now, he felt pride curl up in his chest and the boy's words. "I understand your aspirations to help, but promise me you won't forget to think of yourself." Pitch looked at the teen, who was the closest thing to a son he'd ever had and felt proud to know that his lessons were helping the boy in life. Jack nodded and smiled at Pitch. Their moment was interrupted by a knock at the door. Jack turned to the door then back at Pitch. Straightening his tie and clearing his throat he told the boy to open the door. Jack did as told only to hear a light chuckle of a man. "Sandy?" Jack questioned he looked at the short man then motioned back at Pitch. Pitch sighed, "We went to college together and he just so happens to live here as well. That's the only explanation you're getting Frost," Pitch informed firmly.

The blonde man tipped his bowler hat and smiled, "Morning Jack." He nodded and smiled at Pitch, who merely rolled his eyes at the other man. "I came to make sure you were alright. Pitch was worried sick about you and called me in the middle of the night, to rant about how much trouble you were in when he found you." Sandy chuckled seeing Pitch glare at him, hearing Jack chuckle. He let the short man in, "Well I'll have you know he gave me what for… we just made up." Jack informed and Sandy nodded, "Good. I'm glad to see I don't have to put the fire out."

Jack laughed and Pitch rolled his eyes once again. "Well thanks for having my back," Jack smiled. "Shouldn't you be getting ready for school young man," Pitch informed and Jack remembered it was a school day and rushed upstairs to get ready. After he left Pitch looked at Sandy, "And what are you doing here?" Sandy took a seat for himself and smiled, "I'm merely checking on my dear friend after his distort phone call to me about his missing teenager." The movement of his hands was swift and smug like the smile on his face. Pitch frowned unamused at his friend's excuse. "Yes, well you should've been checking on him before letting him run off into the woods," Pitch stated crossing his arms and legs. Sandy waved his finger going tsk, tsk, tsk, with a frown of his own "I'm not one to pry on a new friend's privacy. Beside the boy is far more capable then you give him credit for." Sandy signed with a smile, as Jack came rushing downstairs with his staff in hand.

His school uniform was thrown on under a gray fleece coat, with a scarf loosely wrapped around the coat's high collar. "See ya guys later!" He shouted running out the door. Pitch sighed rubbing his eyes with his thumb and index finger, while swinging the royal blue satchel bag with his opposite hand. Jack rushed back, and heard his keys in the bag Pitch held. He grabbed it and smiled, "Thanks." And he was gone again leaving the two adults in silence. Sandy couldn't help but smile while Pitch merely shook his head at the never changing boy. Rushing through the streets he'd finally learned like the back of his hand, made the trip a little less dangerous for the blind teen. He got to school with time to spare, but only stopped when he ran into something.

The object may have been shorter than Jack, but it was certainly strong enough to push the teen back and on his butt. Jack fell and blinked up at the laughing being he ran into. "Where's the fire son," Principle Moon asked. "I… uh, wait what?" Jack asked getting to his feet and dusting himself off. "I asked where the fire is, seeing as ya looked like you were running for life there," Mr. Moon smiled. "I was trying to get to school on time… thought I was late," Jack explained. Mr. Moon laughed holding his round stomach, "Well rest assured Jack you got here with time ta spare. I wish all my students were as eager to learn as you, or are ya running because ya know your mother would have your hid if she heard." Jack laughed weakly, "Let's go with both." The principle gave another hearty laughed agreeing with the teen. "Jack!" The voice was clear and familiar both males turned to Olaf rushing up to Jack with Anna on his heel. Both freshmen hugged the white haired teen unexpectedly.

The contact was surprising, but enjoyable as Jack stood with wide confused eyes. Manny smiled warmly at the sight. "We were looking for you all morning," Olaf explained. "We wanted to thank you for saving Olaf, but you left before we could," Anna continued. Jack patted both shorter teens on the head caringly. "You're welcome, it's what friends do. And Hiccup and I didn't want to interrupt the moment." He explained listening for the eldest sibling. "Where's Elsa," He arched an eyebrow. "She had an early morning meeting to go to, about the Winter Ball," smiled Olaf. "She told us to give you her regard, "Anna saluted and Jack chuckled at the change of the strawberry blonde's voice.

Another sound caught his ear through the cluttered halls, "Morning Merida," Anna shouted from across the hall, only to have red head ignore her as she ranted to the brunet next her. Olaf winced, "Looks like he's still in trouble." "I see you kids have some cleaning up to do. I'll leave you to it," Manny said softly and headed into his office. Jack nodded at the older man and went to confront the two as they got closer. "Hey, glad to see you're in one piece," He smiled at Hiccup. "Yeah, but my ears aren't," The brunet grumbled. "What's tha suppose ta mean!" Merida barked with her hands on her hips. "Whoa," Jack hid behind Hiccup hearing the girl's fiery and whispered, "I see what ya mean." Hiccup sighed, "For the last Merida I'm sorry." The girl huffed, "Ya darn right you are!" She spotted Jack and Olaf pushing Hiccup aside, "As for you two! The next time ya wanna help the lad unwind, go the bloody arcade!" She scolded. Jack winced at her high voice and nodded with a smile, while Olaf trembled in fear. "Yes ma'am," Both said like they were talking to their mom.

The red head sighed, finally feeling her rage calm down. She pulled Hiccup into a loving hug and blushed with frown on her face buried in his chest. "And don't scare me like that again," She grumbled gripping his shirt. Hiccup smiled warmly and pulled his girlfriend into a hug. "Same goes for you," Anna smiled ruffling Olaf's hair. Jack listened with a smile as everyone seemed to calm down at their own. Hearing the love and care for his friend's safety warmed the teen's heart, but he felt a hint of loneliness at the fact that even though he was surrounded by all these people Jack was still alone in a way.

The school bell rang the five students headed to class as a group. Once he and Merida broke off from the others to their class his name was called out again. Once again Jack wasn't prepared for the arms that wrapped around him into a hug. The small head pressed against his chest and arms around his waist reminded him of his sister. But he knew it wasn't her he smiled at the familiar smell of honey and sunflowers. "Hey Rapunzel. You ok?" He asked a little worried the girl gave him such a dramatic hug. She lifted her head and took a breath, "Am I ok?! Are you ok?! I heard about the trip and the cliff and Olaf and You and Hiccup and the cabin and the ride home and… you didn't answer my calls this morning and you weren't there when I came to meet up with you… I thought you weren't coming to school_" Her mouth was moving at the speed of light and Jack had to calm her down. "Whoa hey, hey! I'm ok. See," He held his hand up, only to display his right hand bandaged up from hanging on to the cliff. Rapunzel gasped, "What happened?" She took his injured hand to examine it. Jack laughed uneasily, "It's just a scratch, really. Punz, I'm ok." He assured her.

The blonde released a sigh of relief and she finally felt herself calm down. "Don't. Ever scare me like that again," She huffed and Jack chuckled. "You got it," The blonde held up her hand swiftly. "Pinky promise," She said her brows crossed and lips pouting. Merida rolled her eyes and walked inside the class while Jack just laughed and took the girl's pinky in his own. "I promise, to try my best not to scare you like that again," he smiled and she glared at him skeptical of his words, but finally and approved his promise.

After her first Rapunzel stayed by Jack's side asking him about the adventure the guys had shared. She laughed at the part of Jack hitting the wall and being called "Jackie" by Kristoff's mom. The two spent most of their time together in the halls, at lunch and study hall with the others. By their last class Jack knew something was up, he stopped at his class room door and turned to the blonde beside. The girl's class was all the way down the other hall, so why did she follow him all the way to his. Surly the cliff incident didn't spook her that much. "Ok what's up," He asked looking at the now surprised blonde. "What do you mean," She asked uneasily. Jack arched an eyebrow, "You've been glued to my side all day. Not that I'm complaining about your company, but you're kinda going out of your way to stay with me. What's up?" He asked crossing his arms like a teacher would to a student.

Rapunzel bit her bottom lip lightly and played with her hair. "I…well… I've sorta been avoiding…Dagger" She sighed in defeat. Now Jack looked surprised, "Why?" She twirled her golden locks around her finger again. Even though she he couldn't see she avoided his eyes, looking everywhere but up. Finally she released the breath of air she didn't knows she was holding. "I may have sorta kinda ran into him while we were out yesterday. I tried to avoid him, but kept feeling like someone was watching me all day after that and I know he's gonna ask to the dance, but I don't wanna tell him your taking cause he might try to fight you again…" She spoke in one long breath and huffed out air after her explanation. Jack blinked at the blonde a bit surprised and confused at the same time.

He laughed and ruffled the girl's hair, "Thanks for looking out for me Punize, but the reason I took the job is so you could tell him. I mean ya can't keep avoiding the guy forever. Just be honest with him, after what he pulled the first time we met I'm sure he won't mess with you again." He turned to leave but she grabbed his arm, " Just promise me to you'll be careful." Jack smiled at the blonde and nodded, " I promise Punzie." The warning bell rang, "See ya after school, and remember. No more running. Don't worry you'll be alright," He winked and headed into class. Rapunzel sighed, "It's not me I'm worried about."

As the last class of the day came to an end Jack found himself being the after school delivery man. "Oi Jack, think ye could me ah favor," Merida asked packing up her bag. "Sure what's up," Jack asked. "Ya know where Hiccup's engineer class is," She asked. Jack nodded, "Yeah I've been there a few times." "I need ya to take something to him for me. Hold out 're hand," She instructed. Jack did as told and she placed a small heavy, but smooth object in his hand. " Could ya take this to him? He left it in my car this morning. I've gotta a stupid club meeting and can't give it to him. This is really important to the lad, so promise me he'll get it." She squeezed his hand around the object.

Jack gripped it tightly and felt the sculptor's structure. "I got ya back Mer," He nodded and grabbed his bag. As he left the class, Jack made his way down the school's art hall. Majority of this hall was still crowded with students. Jack was used to all the commotion and activity, however his usually high senses were shot when an object came crashing against his head. He had very little time to regain himself before being grabbed by two strong arms.

By the time his senses came back to him, his back made harsh contact with a brick wall. He groaned at the pain, but forced his head to settle. Listening to the laughter around him he took note of the familiar sounds and uncomfortable smell. "Well, well, well lookie here," A voice chuckled. Jack arched his eyebrow, "Dagger?" he questioned. The voice laughed "Can you believe this guy?! Blind as a bat, but knows who I am. I'm touched really, with almost everyone knowing who you are, getting all buddy, buddy with ice queen all. I came to see if you could help me out too. If you can no eyes," Dagger smirked, smugly walking up to Jack. The white haired teen smirked, "I'll see what I can do." Dagger laughed "EXCELLENT! Ya see I've been trying to get my blonde beauty to take to the dance. So mind helping me see why she's been glued to your handicapped side all day!?" The larger teen growled, cracked his neck and was now inched from Jack's face.

Jack huffed "Well there could be many reasons to your problem. One: I'm not named after a murder weapon. Two: I don't abuse my power… what little I have. Three: I'm not a bully. Four: I actually complement girls instead of threatening them. Or Five (which may be the most important of all): I don't smell. And Six: She's already gotta date, from what I hear." Jack smirked only to have his head pushed against the brick wall harshly. Dagger laughed, "You're a riot Jackie boy, ya know that. I beat you hear a lot of things with those special ears of yours. Now tell me! Who is taking her to the dance?" He pulled Jack to his feet by his hair. Jack cringed but kept his smirk, "Some guy. No body special. But I think you know Otherwise you wouldn't be doing this. Ya know kicking a blind man while he's down."Jack winced at the dizziness searing through his head. Once on his feet Dagger pushed him away and he stumbled back into the wall again. He still had his staff in hand and gripped it tighter to ground himself. "What's wrong no eyes? Having some trouble getting your balance," Dagger snarled.

Jack shook his head to once again to regain his senses. He pushed off the wall keeping him up, putting one foot forward to stay balanced. Still holding his head he groaned "You could say that." His staff now held side ways in his hand, pressed the bottom up against the wall and the hook pointed at Dagger. The staff made hard contact with Dagger's gut, like a trigger to a barrel. Fumbling back the jock groaned loudly in pain. Jack slumped back into the wall again, "I figured you learned from our first fight." He pushed himself forward and prepared his staff, "I'm not that easy took beat in a fight." Dagger held his stomach and raised his head showing an ugly grin, "Oh but this ain't a fight Jack, it's a beating."

Jack heard it but wasn't quick enough to stop the random punch to his cheek. His staff was grabbed in front of him and thrusted violently against his head. The impact made him let go, allowing Dagger to take it and swung its hook into the boy's side. Jack held his side in pain, as he began to fall. But he was gripped under his arm and pulled into a full- nelson. Although his movement limited Jack still fought for freedom.

Dagger laughed at the sight, "Now, now Jackie boy. How do you expect me to teach you a lesson, when you won't even stand still." He asked punching him in the gut. Jack's struggling came to a slow end. Dagger smirked in triumph and smacked Jack's cheek "Much better." The sound of his own heavy breathing was the only thing keeping Jack's senses a float. His head was aching and ears ringing, even if he could see his eyes wouldn't be able to focus long enough to see an attack. The harsh blow to his face and stomach reminded Jack that this wasn't a fight this was an assault.

This moment was planned and he didn't see it coming. He let his guard down, becoming comfortable with a new environment. The bursts of pain that surged through his body weren't new to Jack, this wasn't his first beating, not he knew uncle Bunny wouldn't be there to save if it continued. At that moment a thought hit Jack, as someone kicked his chest. He wanted to help so many people and he did, but of all the people helped who would help him in return.

A new sound graced Jack's ears, two very clear thuds and a shout. Suddenly his arms were free and he could move again. Now blindness aside Jack knew an opening when he saw one. "Jack". He heard and turned to hear the same voice, "You alright?" He arched an eyebrow "Hiccup?!" Jack felt another back press against his. "You ok," Hiccup asked again. The brunet's voice was clear this time. "I could ya know be better, but elbow room always helps," Jack smirked. Hiccup did a double take as he looked back at the teen. "How can you joke looking like that?" Jack gave a weak laugh "Good thing I can't see myself or I wouldn't know what to do without my beautiful face".

He spoke sarcastically and now it was Hiccup's turn to laugh. "I'm sure you're fans will grieve for you," He stated as three larger teens began to surround him. Jack kept his smirk, "In have fans" he asked. " Yeah, but we've got bigger problems". Hiccup explained gripping the branch in his hand tighter. Jack frowned, "How many"? Hiccup did a quick count of the crowd. "Three on your side three on mine."

Jack sighed "You take the ones on the left, I'll take the ones on the right." "Deal! Now!" Hiccup shouted in time for Jack to dodge the punch and kick his attacker. He smirked hearing the body he hit fall into another one. But his victory was short lived when he heard his name called and fist came down on his head. He fell to the ground and felt footsteps rushing closer. He rolled out of the way just in time to avoid the foot coming down on him. The jock growled "Stay still ya little punk!" Jack continued to avoid getting stomped on. "Jack your staff!" Hiccup informed struggling to get free from two large arms crushing him. With his spread out he felt to his left and o right. His fingertips grazed the wooden stick and he grabbed it a swung. He hit he towering figured the sound of the impact gave him the free range to stand.

Once on he was on his feet he heard the sound of a punch and a groan. "Hiccup?" Jack shouted listening for a reply. "Seems your hero antics are contagious Frost," Dagger snickered. Jack glared at the bully "Let him go!" He command only to be laughed at. "And if I don't?" Dagger taunted, Jack growled deep in his throat. He gripped his staff firmly in his hand and stood into a fighting stance. He took a deep breath and centered himself, before holding the staff with both hands. He began to spin the staff until it picked up speed so quickly that the sound of collected wind was the only thing he heard. Hiccup and Dagger were both distracted at the speed of the staff as Jack walked forward. Hiccup glanced back at Dagger, who held him in a standing headlock. The brunet now felt stupid seeing as his hands were free and took the opportunity and elbowed Dagger in the gut. As soon as Dagger let go Hiccup shouted "Jack Now!"

The G shaped hook wrapped around Dagger and threw him to the ground. "Let's go." Hiccup stated walking away and Jack followed. Unfortunately he didn't get far, as he felt a hand clutch his ankle making him fall. "I'm not done with you no eyes," Dagger shouted and was on top of him in second. His hands went straight to Jack's neck and started to squeeze. The lack of air became apparent to the white haired teen causing him to struggle for freedom. "Their over here Professor Ronin!" A familiar voice shouted. Jack realized it was Kristoff. "What's going on here!? Mr. Deranged release him!" NOW!" The instructor shouted as he and Kristoff pulled the older teen off Jack.

30 minutes later Hiccup and Jack sat in the principal's office. After Pitch and Hiccup's dad were called the two were dismissed. They sat outside the office beaten and bruised in silence. Jack finally broke it, "Hey, thanks for saving my ass back there…" Hiccup looked at him and couldn't help but chuckle. "Never thought I'd hear those words from a guy that knows how to fight." Jack laughed at that and shrugged, "Hey, let's not forget the guys is blind as a bat." Hiccup replied, "Ya make it hard to remember ya know." They both laughed and Hiccup shrugged, "No problem on save. But let's not make it a regular thing." Jack huffed with a smile "Agreed_To be honest I didn't think anyone was goanna help me. You showin up was one hell of a surprise to me ma."

Hiccup laughed weakly this time. "You kidding me? As many times as you've stood up for me for no reason. It's about time I start returning the favor." Jack nodded at the statement. "Speaking of favors," He reached into his pocket and froze. "What's up man" Hiccup asked. Jack pulled out the broken figure reluctantly. "Merida told me give this to you." He said showing him the figure. Hiccup looked at the hand sculpted dragon broken in half. "Whoa, Merida's anniversary gift to me…" He took it out of his hand. "It must've broken in the fight" He stated looking at it. Jack ruffled a hand through his hair and weakly banged his head on the back of the wall. "I'm so sorry man I_" Hiccup interrupted him. "Dude it's not like you did this on purpose, you didn't start the fight, and you got jumped. It was an accident," He shrugged. "A little glue here and there and it'll look good again," The brunet assured.

But it didn't comfort his friend like he hoped. Silence consumed them again leaving Jack to think of how he screwed up. Though he'd ignoring the aching of his head and body. The broken figure in Hiccup's pocket was a fresh wound and was a clear reminder of how he broke his promise to Merida and Rapunzel. His thought were interrupted when he heard Hiccup's hitch of breath. "What's up man? Is it Dagger again" he asked looking up and listening around. Hiccup gulped, "Worse. It's my dad."

So yeah Stoick is about to make his entrance and I'm so excited!

Jack and Merida are about to get their time, the Winter Ball is inching closer aaaaaaaand Elsa might need a date, so does Anna and Hans and Kristoff. Yeah drama is about to go down and I can't wait to show you.
