Brother- t-thanks v-victor. Looks behind him and sees a huge sharp black spikes in front of his face he yelps in fear and runs behind me to hide.

Victor- *laughs loudly. Wow you scaredy cat its just I look at it more closely and my face sets in confusion and worry black ice? Oh no wheres pitch and jack?! Oh my god do you know what this means vincent!! I shake him furiously.

Vincent- I get scared and panic.

I sit down on the ice in a ball and hide myself and cry having a panic attack.

Victor- get ahold of yourself damnit! First off we're not stuck here we'll just hitch a ride on some ice or something. Second we cant die we're already half dead so think that's impossible for now anyway. Thirdly you'll have your first kiss and love and freedom I mean we both already got our freedom we're free in forever we're finally out and were in this together remember that. And lastly I shouldn't be telling you all this your the older twin here you should be taking care of me not the other way around you dork!! And hey you didn't stutter this time haha.

Vincent-  ha g-guess your r-ri-ight I'm s-sorry.

Victor- its fine now lets go before we freeze our asses off out here and have a bit of freedom for a bit before we go to pitch.

Vincent- s-sh-shouldn't we g-go after him n-n-now he's hurt a-an-and he's in d-d-danger with the f-fear-fearlings in him he'll s-slo-slowly loose control in time.

Victor- he'll be fine Vincent he's a big boy now. I say as I pat him on the head as he gives me a pouting face. Besides he wont let them take him that easily he's got someone he needs to protect now remember and before you stutter it yes I know the guardians are after him but they'll come around....eventually we both saw how jack is he'll accept pitch he just needs to get to know him the REAL him.

We walk to the icy cliff edge to look at the rising sun.

Vincent- I b-believe you and i-in pitch he s-should be fine. The s-sun-sunrise is p-pretty but is it even s-safe for us?

Victor - I look over at my brother and shrug my shoulders. We should be fine I mean we are half immortal after all.  Then I start to feel a tingly sensation all over my body is it the suns warmth feels kinda nice....then I feel itchy all over not so nice I open my eyes and look at my arms there's red patches on them is this what they call a rash? Its so itchy I couldn't take it another moment and dig my long nails into my skin relieving the itchiness but it gets more and more intence and I need more relief. What the hell man make it stop!!!

Vincent - victor are y-you alright!!

Victor - no I'm not alright I'm itchy all over and cant make it go away whats happening to me!?!

(Present time in pitchs memories/dream pitch pov)

What's going on my eyes feel so heavy I cant open them where am i?

I'm back in my lair how did I get here? Wheres jack and my kids?

Jack?

Jack comes into view is on the bed.

Jack?! I'm so glad your alright where's... Gets close and tries to hug him but goes straight through him.

What? Tries to tough jacks shoulder but goes right through.

Nonono! This cant be happening! I panic a little.

I tried to get jacks attention. Is this a dream?

Jack looks at the bed and giggles he says something but I couldnt hear it he closes his eyes and smiles he starts to freeze the bed again. Wait this like what happened the first time he freezed the bed. This isn't just a dream its a memory. I go in front of jack I wish I was awake right now to see him and be with him and my kid's. He doesn't open his eyes and he's perfectly still then he gets up suddenly I back up a little he's facing the ground. If I was able to touch you right now or have you hear me I would lift your head up to see those beautiful eyes of yours snowflake. Jack moves his head and lifts it and my eyes widen in horror as I see his face his eyes are gone leaving a trial of black blood where his eyes should be. I back up more and shake my with my hands in my hair trying to get myself awake or out of this nightmare. I open them quickly feeling cold hands on my face and just an inch away is jacks face right in front of mine. He's smiling but not his normal one. Why is it getting so cold? Why am I having this nightmare?

Eyeless jack- oh pitch you wont be getting out of these nightmares not while I'm here.

(Back with jack in the really world . jacks pov)

I see pitch is moving in his sleep he's not looking good I get closer to him he's breathing heavy and sweating a bit I get worried. I look over at North who's looking worryingly at pitch as well. North puts a hand on pitches forehead and says,

North- he's running a high fever jack think you can cool him down?

I look at pitch then back at North yes I can. I have my staff in my left hand and put my left hand on pitchs forehead and begin to try and lower his temperature. His face soften and his breathing slowed to a steady pace I stop as soon as I see him let out a cold breath I didn't want to freeze him. I remove my hand from him and look him over he's pale and looks worn out even when he's unconscious. I notice something near his wounds and get a closer look. Umm North what is that. As I said that I point at what I saw it was like black webs and it seemed to be spreading. North looked at it and it didn't seem good at all he took the bandages off his neck and we both gasped I had my hands on my mouth as tears started to form in my eyes his wound it had that black stuff all over it and inside him spreading like an infection but faster. Then pitchs breathing quickened again I felt his head and his temperature rinsed again he was moving around me while still unconscious.  I looked over to father time as he came over to inspect it I looked at him hopefully that he can get rid of it. Can you get rid of this?

Father time - I don't think I can jack this is something only a fearling can get rid of.

What is it? Is it this that's causing him to have a high fever and nightmare?

Father time- yes it is this is something very ancient and only fearlings can infect it to whoever they wish and the only ones to take it away. Anyone infected with it will be in unbearable pain, high fever, labored breathing and nightmares upon nightmares with no escape there so horrible that even the fearlings feared them. If this spreads to his heart it will kill him and there's no bringing him back not this time.

I was full on crying hearing this he can't die not again I cant loose him.

Can't you try and reverse it or slow it down like you did with his wound!?

Father time - no I cannot its best not to go near him right now or touch it, it can infect other if someone directly touches it and wouldn't even know it until its to late.
