Jack's Return to Darkness

Chapter 6- Weak

I groan awake, I try to reach up to grab my head but can't move my arms or legs, 'great, restrains last time I was in these was when Pitch first kidnapped me, not that terrible of an experience if I'm being honest', "Take it easy Jack" North, "let me out of these restrains North, and can you please lower the lights or something" I can see the light through my eyelids lower but not enough to use my shadows and escape, just enough to open my eyes so I do and see North and Bunny, "oh god, what's the kangaroo doing here" I was his face twitch in disgust, "zip it mate, your only alive because Manny insisted on it." "and why would he do that, huh" before Bunny can speak up North stops him, "Bunny, not now. And to answer your question Jack, Manny believes he can rid you of the fearling that's sharing your mind" my eyes widen, "WHAT, NO" I try to get out of the restaurants before North pushes my shoulders into the bed careful not to hurt to much, "I Won't Let Him", "to bad mate, Manny still wants as you a guardian but that can't happen if you have a fearling in you, he's also going to try and make sure you never remember that you and Pitch have relationship" "NO" I try and summon some nightmares to help me but Bunny flips the lights on high blinding me and ending my concentration. "Jack it's what's for the best" "best for you North, because it sure as hell won't be best for me." "Oh relax Frost, I'm going to ask Manny for a special request that should make you feel better" I can't tell but North must not have known about Bunny's little plan, "Bunny what are you planning?" "oh relax North it's nothing bad. Come on I want to check on Tooth and Sandy, mostly Sandy, we did them with Pitch." I feel North release his grip on me and hear a door open and close. 'Damn it, I'm sorry Pitch, I'm sorry I was so weak'.

I don't know how long I was in the room but my eyes adjusted to the light and I had a nightmare ready to attack the next person who entered through the door. It's the most trusted nightmare Onyx, the only one I trust enough to help me and Pitch, Pitch what are they doing to him, I need to get out of these. I give one last attempt on the restraints when I hear the door start to open and Onyx laying next to the bed ready to attack on my command, I see Bunny walk through the door, 'perfect, Onyx get ready' 'of course master Jack', "hello there 'Frost' how are you feeling" I growl at the use of 'Frost', "My names Pitchiner and I want to see Pitch and leave with him." He lets out a chuckle "not going to happen mate, especially considering what I have planned for you", Onyx readies herself, "and what would that be exactly", "Simple, I'm going to see if Manny will erase your mind completely, than I'm going to help you make new memories, you are going to be what I want you to be basically." I snap and Onyx knows because she takes off towards Bunny slamming him to the ground as more shadows appear and undo my retrains and bring me my staff from wherever they kept it. "Onyx, down girl" she gets off Bunny and walks to my side as I point my staff at Bunny. "Now I'll ask once, Where is Pitch", he doesn't answer, "very well, Onyx go look for Pitch, but stay to the shadows" she nods and leaves as said shadows wrap around Bunny silencing him from calling for help, "bye bye Bunny. Oh and as for your plan, you can forget that." I walk out of the room and walk around searching for Pitch with the help of the shadows to keep my unseen.

I walk maybe 30ft from the room I was in when I smell the scent of blood and follow it to a locked room, I listen for any voices and don't hear any so I walk in using the shadows around it, and I find Pitch chained to a chair with gold sand the room extremely bright almost no shadows for him to call upon for help, and he's covered in blood, 'Bunny', I look around and don't see any guardians so I walk into the room and run to Pitch cupping his face in my hands, "Pitch, Pitch open your eyes, open your eyes Pitch" slowly but surely he opens and see me, "there's my boogeyman" he gives a very weak smile, "oh Pitch what have they done to you, hang on ok", 'this is going to hurt', I grip onto the golden sand and feel the same pain as before, but I ignore it and try to get Pitch free when Onyx walks in with others and they begin helping me, and eventually we get Pitch free as the guardians, including Bunny, walk in.

"Jack put Pitch down and came with me, now." North, who does he think is my dad, my dad died centuries ago. "No, not happening. Oh and for the record Manny isn't getting anywhere near my mind, and if does, well Onyx will protect me." she lowers to the ground and I put Pitch on her back and use shadows to keep him there, "Onyx take him home, now" she nods and leaves, "now what you going to do mate, no nightmares to help you" I just laugh, "you really only think I brought one with me, no, no, that would just be stupid." I give a long whistle and around 20-30 nightmares form and jump back onto one that's a mix of my frost and nightmare sand. "Oh Jack, what did he do to you" "naïve little tooth fairy, Pitch didn't do anything to me, I chose this so many years ago, I chose to be with him." I snap my fingers and all the nightmares but the one I'm on runs towards the guardians while I slip into the shadows on mine and return home. I jump off the nightmare once we arrive home and run straight to Pitch, I find him in our room resting, I walk over and sit next to him running my hand through his hair be careful of his wounds. "Oh Pitch, I'm so sorry, I should have protected you" I can feel a tear start to run down my cheek as I close my eyes, then a hand on my cheek gently wiping away the tear, I open my eyes and Pitch is smiling up at me. He pulls me down to him and lay beside him, him pulling me close. "I Love You Pitch", "I Love You Too Jack"

((I'm trying to decide if I should continue or just end it there, thoughts))
