Frost and Feathers

Chapter 5: Pitch, meet Mother Nature

Hi, i hope you guys like this. if you dont feel free to tell me..... just nicely... and no cussing. 

Jack's POV.

Ugh, how in the heck am I supposed to get out of here? I think to myself. It's been 3 days since I've been captured and I am REALLY hungry. I would seriously lick this floor for an all you can eat buffet. The door on the other side of the room opens and Pitch walks in with Cupid. 

"Alright, just make sure to only cut him, not kill him." he says to her and leaves the room. I guess I'm target practice for now. Cupid looses an arrow that lands right by my head, and a firey pain burns in my cheek. I feel my icey blood run down my face and she looses another arrow that cuts my ribs as it goes by. My hoodie starts to get stained by my own blood as I continue to get cut by Cupid's arrows. One gets me right across the chest, and one gets my stomach.

"That's all for today." She says and exits the room. When its all over, I have some cuts on my arms, one across my chest, three across my sides, one across my stomach and three on my face. I better get out of here soon... I don't know how much more of this I can take. Ever since I've been captured it's been nonstop target practice. First with fears, then with weapons, and even with Pitch's sand and Cupid's dust. They're trying to create something stronger than nightmares, but I don't know what, and by the sounds of frustration coming from the room they plan in, it's not going very smoothly. Whatever it is though, I'm gonna be the test-monkey. I have been so far atleast. I get very tired and lean my head back against the wall. My eyes start to close and I drift to sleep.

Tooth's POV.

"Ok, everybody, we need to train to make ourselves stronger so we can get Jack back and defeat Pitch and Cupid." I say in North's globe room. 

"Ok so.... how do we do that?" Mother Nature asks. 

"Idea!" North yells jumping up excitedly. "We will train in my new training room." 

"Jeez! How many secret rooms do you have?" Sandy asks with his dream sand pictures. 

"A lot." North states looking down at Sandy. Sandy crosses his arms with a look of annoyance. 

"Alright, North. Lead the way." Nature says bowing gesturing her hand toward him, her amber eyes glinting in amusement. I smile, it's nice not to be the only girl anymore. I fly after North to this 'training room' and I am followed by Nature and Bunny. "So what is it like, being a Guardian?" I hear her ask Bunny.

"Oh, it's great. The kids are just amazing." He says. "And when you make a special connection with them, it's one of the best feelings in the world."

I drop back and start flying with them. "Jack and Jamie have an awesome connection." I add in.

"And me and his little sister Sophie." Bunny announces. "She's so sweet. I lover 'er so much."

"I hope I get a connection like that." Mother Nature said wishfully.

"Me too." I agreed.

"Ah, finally, we are here!" North announces, stopping at a door.

Jack's POV.

Pitch locks the last cuff around my right ankle. "That should do it." He says straightning back up. I got longer chains so I'm not against the wall anymore and Cupid can have more of a target to practice on. I'm sitting on my knees with my back hunched over and my arms at my side. "Alright Cupid, he's all yours." Pitch says and again leaves the room. After another of Cupid's target practices, I am left bloody and scratched. I have cuts on my legs and back with some on my hands. PItch walks back in to see Cupid's progress. He is obviiously pleased to see me bloody and in pain. "It's time. We leave tommorrow night." He says and they leave. Time for what? I think to myself. Whatever it is, it obviously requires me to be bloody and weak.
