FRIDAY.
"Goooooood morning!" Bunny said as he walked into Tooth's room, waking up both her and Jack.
"Wha- what? It´s morning already?" Jack asked, still half asleep.
"Yes, Frostbite. I think you wouldn't be so confused if you hadn't decided to sleep with Sheila here" Bunny said with a smirk. The two Guardians were lost for a moment, until they realized what he meant. With their faces growing red as a tomato, they broke apart; with Jack quickly jumping off the bed, only to end up falling after his right foot got tangled in the bed sheets. This earned a laugh from Bunny.
"Shut up Kangaroo" Jack said growling from the floor.
"Get ready, love birds. We leave in an hour" Bunny said chuckling, not really paying attention to what Jack said.
"We are not love birds! We are teammates!" Tooth and Jack yelled.
"Riiiiight. And I'm not the Easter Bunny" Bunny said as he closed the door. Jack, with his face still red, left to change as soon as the Australian left.
"Amelia, my dear, today is your chance!" Pitch said to the summer spirit, who was playing with some flames.
"To destroy Frost? Is it Saturday already?" she asked.
"No, today is Friday" Pitch said.
"So?"
"So? Today you can show off your power to him! Make him suffer… but not kill him… yet" Pitch said with a warning tone.
"Honestly, why not? We could attack today and they still wouldn't stand a freaking chance" Amelia growled.
"My army is not ready yet. I have been gathering all of my minions around the globe since Wednesday. They could have been prepared for today, (you know making a bit of a change in plans), but because SOMEONE didn't give the right nightmare to the RIGHT Guardian, it would have to be tomorrow" Pitch said.
"Why did you want Frost first? I mean I know you said that you and I were going to bring pain to him during these days, but from I've heard, he hasn't suffered anything" Amelia said. Pitch let out an internal scream: the summer spirit was starting to get on his nerves.
"I wanted Frost first because after being alone and abused for 300 years he is more fear-and-panic-and-suffering-prone. Do you have any idea how those things feed my nightmares? If you would have follow the instructions as you were supposed to do…" Pitch said coldly.
"Fine, I get it! I didn't follow your orders and now we definitely have to attack tomorrow, I get it" Amelia said with an annoyed tone. Pitch smiled.
"Well then, go. But try not to be caught by them. It is day time after all" the Bogeyman said. Amelia left, leaving some burn marks on the floor on the way out.
"Keep an eye on her" Pitch commanded Nico.
Meanwhile, in S. A. W.; everyone was currently playing a nice game of soccer. Well, all except for Jody, who was trying (and falling miserably) to convince Amanda to participate in the match.
"If you just give it a try…" Jody kept on saying.
"Over my dead body I'm going to play that game" Amanda hissed while glaring at the counselor.
"But you'll have fun!" Jody insisted.
"Yeah, in the hospital while getting treated for a broken leg or a broken nose" Amanda sarcastically snapped back.
"Man, if looks could kill, Jody would not be still trying to convince Amanda to play" Jack said to Jamie. They were currently on break from the match. So far the result was 5 – 5 between the two teams.
"Yeah…" Jamie said looking at the floor.
"Are you okay? You have been deadly silent all morning" Jack said worried.
"I did the little homework you gave me" Jamie admitted.
"And?" Jack asked, nervous for his friend's reaction.
"I'm sorry for the campfire story" Jamie said, feeling bad. Jack knelt beside him.
"Hey, it's okay kid. I should have told you before, it's just that I was afraid of the reaction" he said.
"You mean a reaction like this?" Jamie said while putting a ridiculous face. Jack bursted out laughing.
"Maybe" he said with a grin.
"Bennett! Overland! Break is over, go back to your positions!" Rosi yelled across the field. The two friends got back to their game, one of them unaware that he was being closely watched by a girl with red hair and orange eyes.
"Well then Frost, didn't you know that having too much fun can agitate the human body a bit too much? Especially in summer with all the heat?" Amelia said as she made some circles with her hands. Small, transparent flames appeared.
"Give him hell" she ordered. The flames went directly to the soccer camp, dodging kids and a green ball until they were close to Jack.
"Come on Rosi! Just past it to Tooth! She's closer to the goal!" he yelled at the girls.
"I didn't knov you vere so in to soccer Jack" North said from behind him.
"Not much, actually. You should see the people in the World Cups, though" Jack said as he wiped some sweat from his forehead. He was suddenly feeling very hot.
"Jack, are you feeling vell?" North asked concerned. But Jack could barely listen to him to tell him that he wasn't. Everything was suddenly so hot and dizzy and he felt like he was burning. He was also starting to see black dots in his eyes.
Jack heard some call his name, telling him move, but he was feeling too weak…
Before he knew it, something round hit him in the stomach, sucking the air out of his lungs. He fell to the ground, in great pain.
The last thing he heard was a girl yelling his name before complete darkness enveloped him.
