I yawn, heading for North's place. It was closer than my lake and I was exhausted. Spirits may not need as much sleep as most, but we need to sleep and eat. I had been working overtime, bring snow in the mornings and nights, and playing with Jamie in Burgess. I spotted a dark shape and frowned. Only someone on their own for 300 years could see such a dark figure, or hear its quiet footfalls. I continued flying leisurely, if it spotted me it would spot me, and I would never make it. The figure sped up, and I immediately sped up. When I glanced behind me I saw it running on air. No time to ponder it now. I managed to make it within sight of North's Workshop before the thing leapt on me snarling. It bit me, and I screamed. Immediately I blacked out.
Jack… Jack… Jack… Jack.. The shadows whispered my name, and I crouched, afraid of the shadows. Endlessly the shadows whispered, and the wind sang. Jack… Jack! WAKE UP! Come on, wake up!
Four Guardians stood over the unconscious Jack. They were all worried, even Bunny, though he acted indifferent. He had lost a lot of blood from a hole in his arm. It was made from bite marks of an animal. It was infected, and Jack was running a fever. Jack would survive though. Then a loud explosion sounded down the hall, and three Guardians rushed towards the clamor, Sandy staying behind reluctantly to protect Jack.
The Guardians were shocked at what they saw, 5 spirits, including Pitch. Pumpkin Head, Head for short, the spirit of Halloween, Lucky the leprechaun spirit of St. Patrick's Day, Tom turkey spirit of Thanksgiving, and most shockingly of all, Cupid spirit of LOVE, all of them, grinning, ready to fight the Guardians. All four Guardians were amazed that Pitch could think to do this. They were especially amazed that he could convince Cupid to fight. Tooth was sad that Tom would fight on Pitch's side. After all, he was a fellow bird. "How is your little frost guy doing?" Head asked mockingly. Bunny tensed, ready to fight. "I'm afraid we only wanted to say hi, let you see who will FINALLY defeat." Head smirked at Pitch at the word finally. Then they vanished.
