The center of a dark snow storm (jack x pitch)

CH.22: Devil inside, trapped with history

Note: listen to song up top.

Previously in CH.21:

Tooth- guys it's pitch! Sandy was telling me.....

What do you mean it's pitch!!

Tooth- he's here but...

I cut her off again and fear coursed through me was he here for jack? I ran off before tooth could talk again and went straight for Jack's room but it was locked from the inside out. The others came up after me sandy was trying to say something but i ignored him and told north to unlock to door and he was trying to find the right key.

(Back to story extra long chapter author's pov)

North after a bit got the right key and was about to open it but it opened on its own from the inside the door opened and out came pitch, everyone except sandy backed away quickly getting there weapons out ready for an attack. Pitch closed the door behind him he looked at each guardian a frown on his face when his eyes met bunny.

The guardians didn't say anything to shocked about pitchs appearance, his actions and his not even acting like pitch. Sandy got in-between them and told them to put there weapons down. North reluctantly did so if sandy trusts pitch enough to have his back turned on him let alone protect him then it's worth hearing them out on why he's here. Tooth did the same and bunny he kept his guard up as with his boomerangs.

Bunny- sandy how can you ask us to put out weapons down with pitch!?

Pitch sent a glare at bunny.

Pitch- I'd kindly ask you all to keep your voices down and don't make a ruckus, Jack's sleeping right now sh-He needs his rest.

His voice held distaste in it, he really didn't want to try and be nice to them but jack made him promise he'll try his best.

(Flash back few minutes before)

As soon as sandy and pitch to the pole and landed pitch felt the fear there as fed on it to get as much as he could to slip into the shadows to go to jack. Tooth had seen this and was about to tell the others but sandy stopped her and tried to explain things to her.

As pitch went through the shadows he came out entering a room with a lit fire place he looked around and found jack laying in bed looking sickly. He went over staggering a bit from the spent energy and went to Jack's bed. Jack was partly asleep she looked over and saw a blurry figure her vision went normal again as she focused.

Jack- pitch?

Pitch- yes I'm here....i should have never let you gone on your own..

Pitch got closer and sat on the edge of the bed he gently put a hand on Jack's forehead feeling the unnatural heat radiating off of her. He removed his hand and got up he felt Jack's fear spike thinking pitch was going to leave. Jack held an arm out to pitch, pitch held Jack's hand and reassured her.

Pitch- I'm no leaving I'm just going to get your staff it might help you cool down or heal up.

Jack let go of his hand as pitch looked around the room he saw Jack's staff on a chair, he went over and grabbed it unlike the last few times pitch held Jack's staff the shadows didn't envelope it, there were no shadow's at all. He didn't think much of it and went to jack he held Jack's hand with the staff.

The frost slowly enveloping it, jack let out a sigh of relief.

Pitch- do you feel any better?

Jack- a little not as hot but still not to well. I don't know what's going on, and i...I'm scared to find out what.

Pitch sat with jack he moved the hair that was in Jack's face a bit, her hair looked slightly longer then before. Was it growing? He gently combed her hair with his finger's she looked content and tired.
