The light in the darkness, the warmth in the cold

Chapter six : with the boogyman

Pitch panicked, he stood on the edge searching for the falling body of jack , but he saw none .
He shouted jack's name while he ran going left and right looking for Jack. He didn't hear a thump or anything. He called a nightmare horse , rode it , and jumped of the cliff.

The nightmare horse landed ,pitch ordered and the horse transformed into a dog which started to sniff the icy ground following jack's scent.

The nightmare dog eventually lead pitch to what seemed to be a cave entrance on the tremendous icy wall ahead of him .
" jack " pitch called .
" Jack are you there? " he asked.
Suddenly pitch heard a thump followed by a whispered laughter and the next thing he knew he was falling down what seemed to be an icy slide.

He screamed in surprise when someone's hand was on his upper back and he was pushed faster down the slide as it went left and right causing his hands to pump at the edges of it .
" ouch " pitch said in pain.
" frost you idiot, you're gonna pay for this " he threatened.
" see if you can catch me first " jack said. And with that jack leaped high enough to be in front of pitch as the slide started to descend downwards increasing their speed.

As they reached the end of the slide, pitch and jack found them self on the icy ground near the crack which jack sleeps in.
Pitch was throwing up on the floor  as nausea took over him , while jack was just sitting there laughing at him. Pitch was wiping his mouth with his sleeves, when jack decided that it's time for him to run . He got up quietly, looked towards pitch who was busy cleaning his mouth and he sprinted as quickly as he can with out being heard .

" oh not so fast " jack flinched as he heard pitch 's voice.
He ran faster now , but it was too late as two silky black strings wrapped it self on jack's ankles which made him fall face first on the ground.
" what the !! " jack said .
" hey you that really hurt " jack protested .
" well you should have thought about that before you made me sick " said pitch.
Jack was thinking of a snappy comment but he couldn't come up with one .

" fair enough , now could you please take these things off me" said jack.
" alright, alright. Don't be such a baby " said pitch as the strings disappeared from jack's ankles.
" admit it you liked the slide, didn't you? " asked Jack smirking.

" well it was actually quite impressive" pitch shrugged.
" how long did it take you to build it ? " he asked .
" 20 minutes, I built it when you were searching for me with your nightmare dog " jack said casually .

" what !! "
pitch's jaw hung open.
" don't look at me like that, besides I'm sure that you can do such a thing with your powers what ever it was " jack answered.
" no I wouldn't. If you are this powerful with out your staff, why do you keep looking for it ? " pitch wondered.

"  true , the staff isn't the source of my powers , but it keeps them suppressed so that it won't burst out " jack said.
"Why not though? " pitch asked.
" are you blind? , you built a slide in 20 minutes, you have beaten two spirits, and you almost crashed the guardians. If you had the staff, you wouldn't be able to do any of it , not in 20 min that's for sure. " protested pitch.

" I guess you're right, but great power comes with consequences" jack said.
" what kind of consequences? " asked pitch curious.
" you know, like when you came to wake me up when I was resting, it overwhelmed me when I was talking with the guardians, so when I regained control again I couldn't even stand , let along stay conscious , the same thing happened when you tried to save me and I was about to freeze you , I could simply kill my self trying to contain it, or kill people around me if I let it go " jack replied.

" oh " was all what pitch said.
" why do you steal children dreams? "
Jack literally just gaped his question at pitch, as if he was saying that he gave pitch a sensitive information about him self and that pitch is obliged to do the same.

" I don't ....I don't know " pitch muttered .
" to get the other spirits attention I guess " pitch shrugged.
" I thought you needed fear to survive ! " jack wondered.
" I do , I also can survive on normal fear for instance all kinds of phobias or hallucination " said pitch.

" then why ? " asked Jack whispering.
" to make people see me  , when I was first created other spirits ignored my presence because no human believed in me , so I made them believe " pitch confessed.
Jack eyes winded in shock .

" will you are very well known in the spirits world and in the human's world " jack said his voice trailing from heard enough to a squat .

" your point kid ?!! " pitch demanded.
" will you consider to stop stealing children dreams? " jack asked nervously.
" frankly I thought about it but .." pitch trailed off .
" but what??" Jack asked urgently.
" I'm afraid if i did no one will ever believe in me " pitch admitted forcefully.

" what if? " jack said then looked down in silence.
" what if what!!" Pitch argued .
" what if I believed in you until I or you fade , will you stop it ? " jack said quickly.

Pitch was speechless, he backed off a little from where he was standing. They stood silently for almost 13 min , with pitch staring at the horizon completely trapped in his own mind , and jack looking at the ground.

After what felt like eternity for both of them, jack spoke up .
" forget what I just said, It was stupid to think that one person is enough , I will go search for my staff "
And with that he started walking away.
" I wi-will s-stop " pitch shouted.
" re-real like really really!!" jack said . although he was far away from pitch, pitch could practically see jack's smile which reached his eyes.

" you will never steal any dreams from now own , promise me, in fact make it a spirit to a spirit promise, you know when you have a mark on your arm with the other spirit power and they do the same" jack said excitedly.
" I know what spirits promise is " pitch huffed .
And with that jack raised his sleeve to reveal his left arm where pitch made a tiny mark right above jack's elbow. It looked like a nightmare horse. Then with a huff pitch revelled his arm and jack marked him with a snow flake at the same position he got his mark .

They stood facing each other, pitch had his hand on the snow flake , while jack had his hand on the horse , they nodded and said in union " an oath shall never be broken, so as the spirits promise. If it'll, my powers shall be taken "
And with that Jack Frost and Pitch Black were officially friends.
