SO. SHORT. ;_;

Chapter Warnings: Latin (there's translation at bottom)

Jack sat on his bed, legs crossed, arms still wrapped in a straitjacket. "What is happening to me...?"

He slowly started singing to past the time. At first it was just a tune, which slowly formed into Latin words.

"Si dues me relinquit… ego deum relinquo…Solus oppressus nigram... clavem... habere potest... omnias ianus praecludo sic... omnias precationes obsigne... sed qui me defendet? Ab me... …terribilissimo ipse…" At this point, he lost the spirit to sing, and slumped forward slightly.

Several dark voices sounded throughout the room, for a few seconds, filling the room with an eerie sensation.

The hound stood on the other side of the room, backing up slowly. It had remained on the other side of the room, never taking its red eyes off Jack.

"Omnias ianuas praecludo sic… omnias precationes obsigne…" Jack continued the song, his voice cracked and quiet. The more he sang the foreign song, the more the hound backed up.

"Sed qui me defendet? Ab me…" He sang, his voice getting stronger with each word. "…terribilissimo ipse…" He finished, looking up at the hound with anger and determination in his eyes.

The hound lay down, resting its head on its paws. For once, the hound didn't look so scary after all.

Bunnymund had informed Sandy, Tooth, and North of the horrors that lay ahead. He told them about Sherlock and Johanna, about the asylum, the hound, everything. None of them believed him at first, but they soon came around when Bunnymund showed them the picture of the hound that Jack drew him.

"How do we kill it?"

"You don't," a familiar voice came from behind them. "because it is a Guardian to the Gates of Hell."

Latin Translation:

If God has forsaken me,
Then I shall forsake God, too.

Only the oppressed may possess a black key,
I close all doors
Thus I seal away all prayers.

However
who protects me?
From the most frightful: myself
