Mean Seasons 15 No Help from Me
Spring and Summer snarled as they watched Jack play with the children of Burgess in the frigid evening after dinner. The green maiden clenched her teeth and turned to her sister, electric green eyes snapping with disdain.
"We have to get rid of him. I don't know how, but we have got to make him pay for what he's done."
Summer nodded, then her eyes went wide as an evil smile crept up her face.
"Come with me sister. I believe I have found the answer to our problem."
ROTG
"So, you wish to be rid of Jack Frost, ladies?"
"Yes, mighty Nightmare King. We understand you have your own grudge against this pest." Spring said, bowing slightly.
"Indeed I do. What are your conniving minds thinking this time? You cannot seriously hope to take him on by force. He is a Guardian, and they have taken to looking out for him of late."
"We noticed." Summer growled, fingering a bruise left from the Tooth Fairy. "No, what we want is to break him."
Pitch raised his eyebrows
"How do I fit in to this scheme? Surely you know that I can only intensify and revive fear. I do not implant it."
"Of course not. Is it not your job to know what someone's fears are, Pitch Black?"
"Yes. But that does not mean the information is free." He snapped, "Besides, I would not tell you even if you could pay the price for such knowledge." He stood next to his globe and looked fondly at the three dark purple dots in the town neighboring Burgess.
Summer was puzzled "Why not? Think about it, Pitch. With Jack broken, you could...remake him. You could enslave him, he'd help you destroy the Guardians...the possibilities are endless!"
Pitch threw her against the wall, his eyes intensifying
"I DON'T WANT HIM BROKEN! At least not yet. As tempting as it is, ladies, I need Frost to stay intact. Try to break him if you will, but mark my words, you will get no help from me."
He retreated into the shadows a threat in his voice
"And ladies...should you succeed...you will find that the Guardians are the least of your worries. In fact, you may find that fear is your new best friend..."
The two season siblings made a hasty exit, desciding that their revenge was worth waiting for...perhapse for longer than they would like to admit.
They also decided to never entewr the Nightmare King's abode unannounced.
Ever. Again.
