Darkness. The water reflected it. The walls were lost in it's shadow. Among it's ghostly folds, a tall figure paced to and fro. "Well, isn't that just precious!" he said, gazing at the large mirror. It was the only thing present that, instead of reflecting darkness, showed four children. Well, children compared to him, anyway. Even the white-haired one. "What a surprise! Jack Frost, teaming up." His mock smile faded. "Again." He recognized his enemy, and his face became a mask of such intense hatred, it would have frightened even a nightmare. Of which there were plenty about to frighten. He fixed one with his maleficent gaze. "Come," he said, beckoning the creature with one finger. "You, my friend," he said, stroking it's neck with his long, cold hand. "You will bring him to me." The nightmare reared at the command of it's master, and galloped away, it's hoof-beats echoing back. He grinned, wicked pleasure filling his twisted mind at the thought of all the suffering, the despair, and the raw terror about to come. "See you soon, Jack Frost."
