Jack couldn't believe what he was seeing. Now that he looked harder at the humanoid figure, it did resemble Jamie's best friend. He gawked at the shadowy, nightmare-ish figure. Did that black sand in the school…do this to her? No it couldn't have…Pitch was evil but he's not evil…is he? Jack struggled to find the words. He was so surprised and terrified; frost was forming under his hands and making them stick onto his staff. "Wh-what happened to you…?" He went to take a step closer to her but stopped, the fear of the shadow-y figure starting to grow.

He hissed in pain, clutching onto his head, when her voice in a million ghostly echoes screeched in his mind, "You left me to die!"

"I-It wasn't my fault!" Jack stuttered. "The doors closed and the k-key broke and—"

"SILENCE!" Her voice screamed, making Jack yell in pain. "It was you bumped into my shield that held the door for your escape. It was you who broke the key. You locked me in there, Jack Frost! And it was only you! I knew you hated me! You never liked me! All because I never believed in your precious Guardians or you! And for what happened to your sister!" A hick noise was heard, as if she was crying. "That wasn't my fault, you know…I didn't mean to make her go on thin ice!" There was a sniffle before her voice rose in rage, "You left me in that school so that you could get revenge on her! An eye for an eye! A sister…for a friend!"

"No…no! Birna, it's not like that!" Jack explained, "I forgave you, remember? You seemed like you heard me say that! This is crazy, think of what you're saying! I would never, ever, harm anyone!"

"Oh…would you…?" The shadow of Birna came close to Jack, making him take a step back with every forward one she made. He yelped when she suddenly was right in front of him and grabbed him. The black sand she was made of burned his skin. "You've done it before…oh…it was so long ago…was it? Just over…a hundred years? My…that was a long time ago."

Jack eyes widened when the memory flashed before his eyes. It was a cold, dark night. The water black and reflecting the stars and the moon that was just a very slim crescent before becoming a new moon. He saw…himself…the other Jack was messing around, not a having a single care in the world. The other Jack was wearing a brown shoulder cloak over an off-white long sleeved shirt and brown jacket and had on tattered and worn out brown pants. He hovered over the water, laughing to himself before tapping his staff to the water, freezing it instantly. The other Jack landed on the small platform he made and tapped his staff on it, making it grow in size. He clicked his tongue like he wasn't stratified by the size, and smacked his staff on it. The ice started to grow higher. He flew around it and waved his staff. It started to grow wider. The other Jack turned around when he heard what sounded like a fog horn and shrugged his shoulders, not caring. He watched his creation grow with a large smile on his face.

Jack wanted it to stop. He didn't want to remember this.

The other Jack started to poke at the growing chunk of ice, making it pointy in some spots. He turned around again when the horn went off again. He narrowed his eyes and shrugged again when he didn't see anything in the distance. "Must be hearing things." He continued to work on his ice.

Jack flew over to the other Jack. "You need to stop!"

But the other Jack didn't seem to hear him, continuing his work.

Jack spun around when he heard the horn again. He frantically tried to get the other Jack's attention. "Please! You need to stop it!"

The other Jack hummed when he felt the water move underneath him. He turned around and gasped to see a giant black and red ship heading straight for him…and his ice. The other Jack started flying around the ice, waving his staff frantically. The ice grew faster. "No, no, no! Don't grow! Shrink! Shrink!" The ice kept growing. He spun around to see the ship get closer. "Oh no…no, no, no, no!" He tried to move the giant piece of ice but he couldn't. It was stuck. He turned back to ever getting closer ship. "Why aren't you avoiding it? Why aren't you avoiding it?!" He tried harder and harder to make the ice move or shrink…but it kept getting bigger.

Jack shook his head in despair, seeing the ship coming closer. "Come on! Do something!" His heart raced as the ship got closer. He screamed at the other Jack, "Do something!"

The other Jack was doing everything he could think of but it only made the ice grow until he had a hundred foot high, four hundred feet long iceberg. The ship came even closer. "No…no!"

Jack watched in terror when the ship was only a yard away from the ice.

The other Jack flew out of the way before the ship rammed right into the iceberg.

"NO!"

Jack's eyes snapped open, his eyes stinging with fresh tears. He was back in the darkness made by black sand, the shadow of Birna standing before him. She said to him in a harsh, quiet voice, "1,517 people, Jack. Dead. You killed over a thousand people. Men. Woman. Children…all of them dead because of you and your iceberg."

"Why…? Why? Why did you show me that?"

Birna sneered, "Oh…are you crying?" In a stone cold voice, she said, "Never harmed anyone, huh? You have killed millions, actually!"

"No…"

"The Titanic wasn't your first or your last victim…"

"Stop it…!"

"It was one of many…the frigid winters, claiming the lives of the weak and homeless. Oh wait a moment…"

"Please…"

"You're sister died in one of your winters…"

"No…"

"After she gave birth…"

"No…!"

"The baby died too…because of you. Yes, the eldest survived…but they had to cut off his legs and arm from the frostbite you allowed to form on him…"

"No!"

"You killed your own family!" Birna yelled. The red orbs she had for eyes glowed brighter. "Don't you see Jack?! You. Are. A. Monster!"

"NO!" Frost burst out of Jack's staff, freezing the shadow of Birna in place. "Stop! Stop it! Birna, this isn't you! This…this is Pitch! It has to be! You would never say these things! I know you! And this isn't it!"

He gasped when Birna unfroze. The red orbs flashed dangerously. "You…don't…know me!" She charged at him, swinging his sword of black flames at him. Jack easily dodged and blasted frost at her. She blocked it with her shield and threw it at him. Jack stumbled when it hit him, shaking his head. His eyes widened when he saw a large wave of black sand rush towards him. He found himself pinned to the floor, black sand slowly engulfing him. The shadow of Birna stood over him. "Don't you see? You say Pitch is the embodiment of fear…but the real truth? It's you! And they have every reason to! You are a monster, Jack! This…all boils down to that. All of it. The Titanic…and me. You kill. That's what you are best at."

Jack narrowed his eyes. "Now I know…"

"What?"

"That this is definitely not you, Birna." Jack broke away from the sand's restraints and made the largest ice spike he could make, the shadow tumbling to the ground. "Well…maybe there is some of you in there…but you are just mostly made of fear and nightmares. Like everything else Pitch makes."

The sand that made her crumbled. And the darkness faded away, relieving the outside once again. Pitch was trying to scare him…like last time. But that won't work. He knows better now than to fall for his tricks. But still, in the back of his mind, he held all the regret. What the mere doppelgänger of Birna said was true…but he knew now that they weren't all entirely his fault. He looked up to the sky and said, "To all the ones I caused pain to…I'm sorry…"

He jumped when suddenly a scream echoed through the time frozen world. His heart stopped when he realized what the scream was…

It was Rapunzel's voice screaming Jamie's name.
