Set after the events of the Rise of the Guardians movie and before Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters movie (set after the first Percy Jackson movie though)

I own nothing but the story line and 2 characters that will appear in the later chapters.

Third person P.O.V

The nightmare consumed her mind night and day, it was etched into her memories. The overwhelming power it had over her only increased the fear. The very thought of living forever in the dark all alone, never seeing anything or anyone else again scared her more then her usual fears. How could something so simple as a bad dream have such an affect on her? It was a figment of her imagination and she knew it but she couldn't stop it even if she wanted to. She felt the will to fight slowly leave her night after night as the dreams continued. Each one more violent then the last. She felt alone and more scared then she had ever been.

She felt herself slipping further into the deep dark recesses of her mind and she had all but given up. Her dreams kept her longer and longer in sleep and whenever she woke up in fright it was almost as if the nightmare was there with her, despite the fact that her room faced the rising sun and her bedroom was filled with the warm glow. Even out in the sun she couldn't help but be scared, she swore time and time again that she would hear a dark and sinister laugh just before she woke up.

There was no doubt in her mind that he was real, the master of all things dark and the king of nightmares himself. The bogeyman was real and she knew it, better yet she believed it with all her heart that here was someone out there feeding her nightmares. Several times she would see a tall man with grayish skin standing just within her vision always wearing the same charcoal black robe with dull golden eyes that seemed to see right through her and into her soul. His hair was just as black as his floor length robe and pointed backwards away from his head in spikes.

His very presence in her dreams just added to the fear, and the small smirk he wore would only turn into a devious smile with each passing second. It was almost as if he was the cause of her fear, like he enjoyed it. And little did she know, he was feeding off her fears and becoming stronger and stronger with each little whimper and scream.

She had begun to lose hope that she would ever be free from her prison of nightmares, that when he was done wit her there would only be an empty shell of her left. No fears, no pain, no emotion and no hope to ever return to running around and be brave in the face of danger. To declare herself fearless and brave was what drew her to chase after every fear she could think of and conquer it.

She slipped further and further into the nightmare kings clutches when he decided to see what made her so fearless. She had a younger sibling just a few years old and was plagued with nightmares, she would cry and cry all night when they came and nothing but her mothers singing would calm her down. She grew more and more afraid for her little sister and began to become too overprotective of her.

Memories of seeing her sweet innocent baby sister made her weep on the cold stone floor of the cell he had thrown her into. Her wails did not slip past the nightmare kings ears and he smiled wickedly as they rose higher and higher. It was like music to his ears and there was no-one around to interrupt and certainly no Guardians to aid her. They didn't even know she had been taken.

One missing child wasn't a big deal when people went missing all the time, right? Lossing hope came as a bonus to the package. In only four years of having the child in his possession he had grown stronger then ever before and had a better control over his fearlings so they would spread darker nightmares. He often wondered what would have happened if he added another child to the mix, but didn't want to alert the Guardians as to what he was doing.

One simple accident and it was all over, and it just so happened that this accident's name was Jack Frost. Now don't get me wrong, accident's happen all the time and most are bad. Though the occasional good one managed to slip by unnoticed, which is just what happened. Though Pitch kept a close eye on most of the Guardians, Jack frost was the one he watched least. He felt that he didn't need to, maybe he should have payed more attention to the boy as he called him.

Jack Frost P.O.V

Snow. Ah beautiful snow. I had just finished laying down a fresh blanket of snow as the sun started to rise. Smiling I headed off to my frozen lake in hopes of creating another layer ice to the already melting one. The sun was just peeking over the trees as I touched down. The wind protested wanting to play more but I felt the urge to just stay at the lake for a while.

I had spent a good amount of time before I looked towards the sky. It had grown dark and the sun was almost set. I stared at the sun for a bit before realizing that it should be setting yet. Kids were just getting off school and I had hoped to get in a few snowball fights in with Jamie and his friends before they headed inside.

I frowned, something was up. That or I had spent more time here then I had actually thought I had. Sighing, I jumped into the wind and headed off towards Jamie's house to see him, he was always up for a snowball fight. The wind started to really blow as I got closer and closer to his house. Stopping I looked around to see children and their parents stopped outside, some peaked out their winds and others stood in front of their homes.

The Northern lights were shining brightly in the sky, which could only mean one thing. North was calling the Guardians to his workshop, and he needed them fast by the way they kept stretching farther and farther outwards from the North pole. 'Something is definitely wrong' He thought as he called the wind to help get him to North's faster. North wouldn't just call them with the lights for no reason, he had the yeti and his portals for that.

Speeding along towards the workshop I somehow managed to miss Sandy's dream sand following me until Sandy dropped right in front of me mid flight. I tried to stop as fast as I could and almost knocked Sandy right off his cloud of dream sand.

"Hey Sandy, sorry didn't see you there. You need to speak up little guy." I said whilst snickering. He frowned and blew sand out of his ears like a train. The sight of it just made me snicker more, it only made him frown more. "Alright alright, I'll stop."

He started to make symbols with the sand above his head but they were moving so fast I couldn't understand them.

"Wow there! Slow down Sandy I can't read that fast. Start over and slow down." I made a motion to move slower with me hands and he sighed. Moving slower he made a moon shining along with a wave of water. I frowned, water and the moon? It sounded to me like The Man in the Moon was choosing a new Guardian, but that would mean there was something going on and that we needed more help that we had. What we could possibly need 6 guardians for I had no clue.

I was so lost in thought as to what it could mean I didn't catch the last three pictures. Sandy was looking at me with obvious anger but I just smiled.

"Tell me about it when we get together with the other guardians. Maybe North has something to tell us that could go with whatever it was you were trying to say, okay?" Smiling more I launched back into the wind and speed off hoping he wasn't too mad, but then again I've seen him mad. Pitch had too and it didn't end well for him. That was 2 years ago.

When we finally reached North's workshop, Bunny and Tooth were already there. I waved to Phil who made the 'I'm watching you' motion with his fingers. I giggled remembering each and every time I've tried to sneak in here. Tooth was flying around spewing orders to her fairies as they came and went. When she caught my eyes following her around she squealed and flew over, instantly putting her fingers in my mouth.

"Still as white as snow." She giggled excitedly before flying off to order more fairies to pick up teeth.

"Nice to see you too Tooth, and you Kangaroo." Smiling I sat on the nearest table to me. Bunny's ears twitched and he lifted his eyes away from the egg he was currently trying to paint.

"I'm a bunny for the last time, Frostbite." He scowled at me and the sighed. North was yelling at the elves to get away from the toys the yeti's were making. "This had better be good North, I was in the middle of painting new egg designs."

"Man in Moon has called for us." North gestured to the moon as the moon shone brighter. The moonlight spread along the floor and the floor opened up. A large pedestal with a even larger crystal sitting on top rose out of the hole in the ground. The moonlight shone on the crystal and a bright blue glow shone. I hadn't seen it before so when I saw the look on the other Guardians faced I got even more confused.

"Man in Moon is choosing another new Guardian? But Pitch is gone. Manny?" Everyone looked at the moon as the sound of many people all whispering flowed into the room. So this is how they knew I was to be a Guardian? Some pedestal rises out of the floor and some whispering? It made no sense, why would the Moon choose a pedestal?

"Please not the groundhog, please not the groundhog, please not the groundhog." I hear bunny repeating over and over as he watched the blue light shift and from a silhouette. Why not the groundhog? Wait... There was a spirit groundhog? I could help but snicker at that, and bunny.

As the light shone on the pedestal a picture of a young girl wearing what seemed to be a pale green dress that draped down and looked like it dragged along the ground slightly., her hair was incredibly long and looked to be make of millions of little leaves. She wore no shoes, like me, and had a small version of my staff except the staff looked smoother and had a vine curling around the top of the staff where a orb sat. The staff was all brown with tinges of green and the orb was glowing a pale yellow.

"Who is this? I've never seen her before. She's a teenager, like you jack, but slightly younger? Could she be a new spirit?" Tooth blurted all at the some looking back and forth between me and North. "Could she be a child? I don't remember seeing her anywhere. Look at what she's wearing. It looks old, and dusty. Like before us. Ladies, theres a street ball hockey game in Toronto, and it's getting very violent. Two front teeth, and 1 molar. Fly to it girls!"

"Calm down Shelia, Maybe she's a foreigner? Maybe a spirit from another country? You every see her on your rounds Sandy?" Bunny hopped over to him and frowned when Sandy shook his head. He started to make symbols but they flashed too fast for us to read.

Bending down to his height after sliding off the table I tapped his shoulder. He stopped making his pictures and looked at me.

"Slow down there little guy and start over." I said. He just hung his head and pointed at the moon. I hadn't noticed that the moonlight was still shining until he had pointed at it.

The moonlight dimmed and the pedestal sunk back into the floor where it had come from. A shadow of a boy then danced across the floor and we saw the boy just sitting in water before coming up for air. A voice called out though we could tell where from.

"7 minutes, a new record Percy. How do you do that?" The boy spoke next. "I don't know, I just like being in water, It's the one place I can think." the shadow then changed to the boy facing off a woman with snake for hair he was facing away from her as she walked closer to him. He had his eyes open and we could see that he had the same blue eyes I did. Before we could see him do anything else the shadow changed to his facing off with a person who was talking.

There were four barrels of water sitting off to the sides. He raised his hand and the water burst from the barrels causing a ball of water to trap the guy he was facing off against to lose whatever footing and weapon he had on him.

He spoke again and I almost laughed at it. I mean the kid must be crazy. Gods don't exist.

"Yeah, I think I really am the son of Poseidon." He sighed and picked up this weird looking bolt of lightning before looking up at the clouds that covers most of the moon. The shadows disappeared and the room went back to it's moonlight-less ways. We all just kinda stood there mulling over the scene before Bunny spoke.

"I still don't know who that was, and something tells me I don't want to." He said and hopped back to pick up the egg that elves were currently batting around. North looked slightly angry but at what I didn't know.

"Who ever he is we just need to tell him he's a guardian and then figure out what we need his help for, right?" I said hopefully. North shook his head and sighed. I frowned. "Did I say something wrong?"

"That boy isn't just a mortal, he's a child of a god. Poseidon to be exact. We don't usually mix with the gods, they have a reputation of involving human lives in their affairs and it never ends well." North's jaw clenched in anger. Gods? Humans? I couldn't help but snicker.

"You can't be serious North." My snickers turned into giggles. I turned to look at Tooth and Bunny for confirmation that North was joking. I stopped giggling when I saw the look on their faces. "You have got to be kidding me.." I dead-panned. Bunny looked down right furious and Tooth looked calm which made me frown.

"'e aren't kidding Frostbite. None of us are. It ain't something to be giggling at." Bunny stuffed the egg he was holding back into his pouch and a nasty scowl worked its way onto his face. I frowned even more trying to take it all in. I mean, Gods? What's next, Aliens? Killer Robots? Pitch's return?

They couldn't exist.. Could they? I mean I haven't seen any super powered children running around, but that could just be me not really paying attention.

"If he's a guardian that means he's either a spirit, or is going to become one soon." North's sentence hung heavily in the air. No-one spoke for a while, the only sounds were that of the elves and yeti's running around making toys.

Hello! This is the end of the first chapter of hopefully more to come. I have no idea when the next chapter will be up and I was planning on posting it when I could.

This is not my first fanfic, it's just the first one I've put up on here. I accept anything you throw at me, even if you say it's a piece of crap.

Review and see you later, ThePaperNovelist out!
