Thank you to all who reviewed, fav, and followed, both previous and new readers. Thank you to those of you who left suggestions. They were a great help in my planning process! Now I'm sad to say that the Human Jackson Arc will be wrapping up in the next 4 chapters. I love Human Jackson but I have big plans for the Jack Frost 300 Years Arc and then the movie. I feel bad for Pitch already and I'm the writer! Anyway time for reviews.

Melancholy's Sunshine: (Ch16) I'm glad you like it! And thank you, I just had to throw that Mother Nature/Father Time moment. I would not leave me alone until I wrote it out.

Serami Nefera: (Ch16) I'm so glad I made your day! I really enjoyed writing it out. I just had to throw in Father Time. I mean, Mother Nature can't be alone all this time and not find someone. I love Pitch/Susanna too. I thought they would be cute together. (Ch17) Pitch will try, but the odds are not in his favor. Hope Pitch did scare you too badly! (Ch18) Many things will happen in the incoming chapter. Susanna and Flee will continue to evolve in this fic. But they might be different (like Jack). Love the Snow Queen idea! I just might use it. Nightmare/Snow Queen has a very wonderful name to it.

Guest: I'm glad you like it!

DOCOTRSINTHETARDIS: (Ch16) Yes! I love them!

RiseoftheSoulGuardians: (Ch16) I love them too. I really loved your ideas and thank you for the suggestions. I kind of combined the two. I hope you like how it turns out.

Randomly Talented: (Ch16) That would be spoiling my big plans for the fic but I can tell you that it will be a combination of the two. Hope it comes out to your liking.

Yana5: (Ch17) Thank you so much! Thank you for following and reading. Glad you like it.

BookwormFangirl: (Ch17) OMG! Thanks so much!

PeterPanfan13: (Ch18) Thanks so much! Thank you for following and reviewing.

Again thank you again for reading and reviewing. And a side note I do not own ROTG or "Jellyfish Song/Kurage no Uta" by Clear (Nakazawa Masatomo). And on that note: ENJOY!

11/18/16 AN: The song at the end had been changed. I thought this one was a cute and better lullaby for Pitch to sing to Jackson.

Chapter 19: Nightmare

Trees were everywhere as he ran. Jackson pushed aside branches as they got in his way. He had to run faster; he had to escape.

"Get back here you ankle-bitter!" a deep Australian voice yelled.

Jackson continued to run. He jumped over branches and tried not to trip over his own feet as he lost his shoes.

"Stop! You will not get away!" a female voice snapped back.

"Stop!" Jackson felt his heart beat faster. The Russian voice was deep and freighting. It held none of the kindness or jolliness that Jackson remembered from his stories. "There nowhere to run!"

And he was right. Pretty soon Jackson found himself in front of a stone wall as he exited the forest. Jackson's eyes went wide as his chasers stopped behind him. Jackson turned around in defiance, pressing his back to the wall.

"What do you want from me?" he yelled as he stared at the huge human adult, the hummingbird, the giant Kangaroo, and a golden man.

"You are a naughty child. You have aligned with Pitch?" the Russian man said. Jackson looked at him with dread. He couldn't believe Santa was attacking him and calling him naughty. How could he be on the naughty list?

"He is a monster!" the Austrian Kangaroo said this time with raised boomerangs. "And you allowed him to escape!"

"He destroyed millions of lives!" the hummingbird fairy yelled back. Her eyes were narrowed in anger. "Don't you understand! He and his fear needs to be destroyed!"

Jackson swallowed nervously as the golden man flashed pictures above his head as he held two whips in his hands. Jackson was filled with fear as they spoke, but anger soon filled him when they talked about destroying fear and his brother.

"You can't destroy fear!" Jackson snapped back. "Without it, there will be chaos!"

The Russian man scoffed. "Ha, I see Pitch has brainwashed you. Fear only brings destruction and death. It needs to be destroyed." He laughed as he raised his swords. "I guess Man in Moon would have to fix you. Then you will tell us where Pitch is when you see the truth, ya?"

"You stupid Guardians, you can't destroy fear or darkness! If you think I will help you hurt my brother then you have another thing coming!"

The Guardians look darkly at him.

"Then we will force you, you bloody ankle-bitter!"

The Guardians attacked and Jackson screamed.

Jackson frowned in his sleep. His eyes move back and forth behind his eyelids and his lips allow a fearful moan to escape, "Koz." He tossed and turned as the dream changed.

Jackson gasped as a sword came out of the sky and struck the ice. Jackson could only watch in horror as the ice started to crack under his sister's feet.

"Jack, I'm scared!" Flee sobbed as she stared at him with pleading, brown eyes. Jackson looked at his sister calmly, not wanting her to see his fear as well.

"Hang on Flee! I'm coming!" Jackson took off his shoes and slowly moved his feet towards the ice. He slowly made his way towards the middle of the ice, wincing every time the ice cracked under his feet. Jackson glanced at the ice fearfully as the cracks began to spread under his bare feet.

"J-Jack?" He looked up at his sister and saw her fearful expression. Jackson pushed his fear down and smile reassuringly at her.

"It's alright. I'm coming. You're going to be alright."

"Jack!" Flee sobbed as Jackson reached for her. Flee reached out her hand shakily to grabbed his. Jackson managed to grab her hand before a boomerang collided with the ice. The motion of the boomerang caused the cracks to break underneath their feet.

"NO!" Jackson looked up to see his brother watching in absolute horror. "JACKSON!" was the last thing he heard before he and Flee fell through the ice and into the icy water.

"KOZ!" Jackson woke up with a start. His soaked hair clung to his face as he sat up. Jackson looked around the room fearfully as the dream of his death lingered in the air. Jackson sighed after a moment and attempted to slow his breathing.

"It's just a dream," he whispered to himself. "It's just a dream." But was it really? Jackson shuddered slightly and shifted his eyes to his sister and Night. Flee was still sleeping peacefully on her bed. Night was sleeping on the makeshift bed of mismatch blankets and coats at the corner of the room. Her ears twitched slightly in her sleep as she began to wake up. Jackson pressed his lips together to try and not make a sound. He didn't want to wake her up.

Much to his dismay, Night cracked open one yellow eye at him. "What's wrong, Master? Nightmare?"

Jackson sighed. Maybe I should lie.

"It's nothing. I'm fine." This made Night become more aware of what he was most likely trying to hide. Jackson watched as Night got up and walked towards him. She nuzzled his cheek with her muzzle in a soothing gesture.

"Don't lie to me, Master. I can taste your fear."

Jackson sighed tiredly. "It's just a bad dream, Night. But…" his voice trailed off to a soft whisper. "I felt so real. It felt like it was happening for real."

"Nightmares are like that sometimes." She paused as if thinking of something. "Do you think you have developed your grandparents' powers? Creator often said that they were more psychics than warriors."

Jackson furrowed his brows. "You think I saw a possible future?"

Night's ears twitched at the question. "Maybe. It's hard to say. But it could be possible. What was the dream about? All I could get was something about the Guardians and then something about ice water."

Jackson sighed again. This time, he felt more worried and scared. Night continued to nuzzle his cheek and occasionally licked his cheek to lap away tears that he didn't realize were falling. "It was two actually," he whispered. "I was running from the Guardians. I saw them clearly too, which was weird, considering I didn't know what they actually looked like. Koz never showed me and all I know is from what are in our storybooks." Night snorted at the mention of the Guardians.

"Why were you running?" she asked softly.

"Apparently, I helped Koz escape them and they were angry. They wanted to destroy him. They said he was a monster and that he should be destroyed. They said other stuff too and I didn't like it."

"What happened?" she asked when he paused with a shuddering breath.

"I yelled that I wouldn't hep them, so they…attacked."

Night looked at him sadly and licked away his tears. "It's okay, Master. Creator and I won't let them hurt you."

Jackson choked out a sob. "I…know. But it gets worse."

Night nuzzled him some more. "What is it?" she asked in a protective tone that made him relax slightly.

"We were at a lake and we were skating. I wasn't skating yet, but Flee was. When I was about to go on…this sword came out of nowhere and struck the ice." Jackson took a shaky breath. "It began to crack." Night looked alarmed at this, but he continued his story before she could say anything. "I was scared, Night. Flee was in danger and I went to save her. It was so real and I was so scared." Jackson's voice shook as he tried to suppress his sobs. "When I got to her a boomerang came out of nowhere and broke the ice." More tear began to flood over without stopping and he began to sob. "I saw Koz before we fell in. It was so cold. We died! We died, Night! We died!"

Jackson then sobbed into Night's fur, wrapping his arms around her neck and never letting go. As he sobbed, Jackson listened to Night's breathing and soothing words. Jackson felt so safe with Night and the reminder that his brother would protect him. But what if he wouldn't be able to protect him? What if he really did just see his and Flee's death? What if the Guardians harm Kozmotis and prevent him from protecting them? Or worse, kill him before he could do so.

Jackson cried harder into her fur for the rest of the night. He didn't know how long he cried into Night's fur. He hadn't realized he fallen asleep several hours later with Night standing protectively near him. Nor did he notice his brother shadowing into his room, interrupting his job of spread nightmares, and holding him close. What Jackson did remember though was his brother's voice singing the same familiar lullaby that he used to sing to him all the time before they got separated.

"Sway, sway, swaying between the waves

Sparkle, sparkle, sparkling, their voices drift into the distance

The dreaming jellyfish sing their song

and sleep on the gentle shore

Sway, sway, swaying, a ray of light

Sparkle, sparkle, sparkling, their voices drift to you

No matter when, as long as this song echoes out

In many colors, they hang in the clear sky

Sway, sway, swaying between the waves

Sparkle, sparkle, sparkling, their voices drift into the distance

The dreaming jellyfish play their song

Sparkle, sparkle, sparkling, their voices drift to you"
