The next night, Pitch grimaced as he drank in the new terror, the hopeless fear that the Nightmare Prince brought He cringed when he felt one of the tendrils snap.

"He killed one." he whispered to MN, "Literaly frightened them to death."

"SH! You really want Carrie to hear that?! She has enough to worry about, Father!"

Carrie looked over to the whisping duo. "Is something wrong?" She asks.

"Um.." Pitch said "No...nothing."

MN glared at him

"If you won't tell her.": Jamie said suddenly from the bed "I will. Mom...Jack killed someone."

Carrie froze. "What? Why?"

"He literaly scared them to death." Pitch said softly

Carrie winced. "We need to get him back to normal before he does something to make himself suicidal."

"Jaaaaaaaaaaaamieeeeeeeeee" the haunting voice crowed, the eerie laughter creepy and dark. "Where is my favorite meal?"

Carrie jumped to her feet and moved so she was between the window and the bed. "Where is he?"

Cackles reached her ears "I am everywhere, yet I am at the same time...Nowhere! I am the shadow creeping up on you. I am the chill down your spine. I am under Pitch, and the boy and girl will soon be MINE!"

Pitch grimaced "A game of riddles then."

Carrie frowns. "I suck at riddles." She admits.

"He will sneak up behind you, then disolve into my shadow, and then attack the children. Too simple, Frost."

Carrie blinks then steps closer to Pitch. "Don't encourage him."

"I see you are too smart for my riddles!. Very well, how about a game?"

Carrie looks around warily. "What kind of game?" She asks.

"I call it, Find me before I turn the little girl into a Fearling! Won't that be FUN?! Master, you play too! Everyone has to guess where I'm going to be!""

Carrie tensed. "No that won't be fun. At all." She said giving the others a look that says 'help me change his mind.'

"Oh, and refusal is not advised. You see, I have several Fearlings already, and they all would love to eat little Sophie. What can any of you do to stop me? CAN you even stop me?!""

Pitch growled "Don't make me do it, Frost. You know I can."

Carrie froze and felt the blood drain from her face. "Where's Sophie?"

Hiccup grunted as he smacked away a Fearling "Under Toothless."

Carrie sighs in relief. "Thank goodness." She says moving closer to Jamie.

"You can't hide her under that dragon forever, Viking!" Jack laughed madly, surrounding Hiccup with shadows, "I thought of a new game! Hide and seek! Come on Toothless, where is your rider?! AHAHA!"

Toothless was torn between gaurding the little girl, and going after Hiccup. He didnt have long to wait as Jack screeched in pain and released Summer from his shadows, wich were burning brightly.

Pitch smirked "Nightmare Prince or not, Jack is still a Winter Sprite."

"That was not so Fun." the shadows hissed. "I suppose then, I shall have to resort to other games."

Pitch growled and looked towards Carrie, muttering "Shut the window. He's in this room."

Carrie nods backing up to the window and shutting it.

Jack snickered, apearing in the middle of the room.

"Well done! Games are fun, don't you agree? Now that you have me inside, let us play a game!"

Carrie ask "OK how about the quiet game?"

"Yes! YOU be quiet while I feed! I like that game!" he cackled again, then sent a chill everywhere

Carrie twitched. "That's not how you play the quiet game." She points out moving to stand between Jamie and Jack.

Pitch turned to Mother Nature with a regretful stare, before sighing

"I am going to end this."

"Father NO!"

"I have limited time to fix him, and his freedom is not helping! Ask the woman if he is worth her son and daughter's LIVES!"

Carrie stared at Pitch and Mother Nature. "We need to turn Jack back to normal before we lose him permanently."

"If Pitch takes full control we may lose him anyway. However if he doesn't, there's no telling what danger he will be to your children."

Pitch sneered "Your choice, woman. I could end this right now."

Carrie froze. "I can't make that choice." She said.

"Then I will." He crooked his finger, and Jack went limp

Carrie winced at Jamie's horrified gasp. And quickly hugged her son.

"He cannot lift a finger without my say-so. " Pitch said softly "He is no danger top your children, and now we can cure him."

Carrie nods. "Hurry up then."

"This will take a while." he snapped

Carrie raises an eyebrow. "Then you'd better get started."
