Sophie had a hard time sleeping. She was scared of going to sleep. The boogeyman can change dreams. She didn't know if he could do it without being there. Or if he has to be there to change the dream clouds.
Nick helped her by telling her stories to help her fall asleep to. Tooth even turned YouTube so she could listen to it when she actually fell asleep. They kept an eye on the sand above her head. It wasn't the sparkly gold, but it was a mix of light gold and light gray.
Her dreams sad but had some happy moments in it.
They Guardian's had an idea what the mark on her pale finger represented, they just hoped that wasn't the reason.
"Jack? Sandy? I wasn't expecting you." Jamie told his friends as he went into his office. He had seen them in the living room, and when his girlfriend wasn't looking, Jamie motioned them to go to another room.
His girlfriend didn't believe in them, so they weren't seen by her. He kissed his girlfriend goodnight before going to his office after Sandy helped her go to sleep.
Jack looked at the man who was the young boy he protected. He was a good man who was living his life helping others. Jack, and the others were proud of the man Jamie became. Very proud.
"It's about Sophie Jamie..." Jack told her. Sandy nodded and his sand started creating images quickly as Sandy attempted to explain things to Jamie. Jamie looked at the sand but shook his head. "Is Sophie hurt? What happened? Is it the kids picking on her?" He asked Jack knowing he would be able to understand Jack better.
"No. They haven't bothered her for a while now... You should sit Jamie." Jack told his friend. Jamie frowned more and crossed his arms before he sighed and sat down and rubbed his face. "What happened to Sophie?" He asked once more.
"Pitch Black happened." Jack told him. Jamie tensed up. "But we got rid of him." He said. Jack nodded. "We did. But it appears that he's back... He attacked Sophie tonight. We just left her with Nick, Tooth and Bunny." Jack explained.
Jamie stood. "I need to go home." He said, and Jack grabbed his shoulder. "That isn't all. He marked her..." Jamie interrupted him. "What do you mean he marked her?" Jamie demanded to know.
"We don't know one hundred percent.. But we think he marked her as a bride. That's what Nick thinks. It is on her ring finger on that hand." He said.
"They are watching her right now. Making sure he isn't around her, and she doesn't have a nightmare. We came to warn you that he could still be coming after you. But also to warn you." Jack said.
Jamie rubbed his face and started pacing the office.
"I have to go home to Sophie." He didn't know how to explain this to Laura in the morning. She would be safer here. His family loves her, but he didn't want to risk it at all. He loved her too much.
She was upset when he went last time without her. But she was also visiting family.
"I'll leave in the morning." He said. The two Guardian's nodded at his words. They will make sure the couple get through the night safely.
