The snow fell gently to the forest ground. As well as some landing on the branches above, and even settling blissfully on the tip of jacks nose. This day was by far one of the best snow days he had ever conjured up.

He gleefully brushed the snow off and twirled his staff in his hands and whistled a tune then tuned to the sky and lifted it up high "Hey wind" she smiled cockily "Let's go!" and as a natural a fish to water jack was floating in the air effortlessly "Let's go see the others"

He was only in the air for a couple of seconds when something hit him a dark shadowy figure in the shape of a large bird. "What the hell... no it can't be!" as jacks realization hit him so did another large bird, then another and another. He stood no chance so he fled and sped to the nearest guardian. At this point he was heading to North's anyway.

He flew and flew blocking hits and taking them at the same time it seemed hours before the workshop was in sight "North, help!" he screamed and shouted but was not heard. Another bird hit him hard, and it caused him to fall to the snowy ground landing in soft frozen earth.

"Shit I have to get out of here!" he stammered to his feet confused North couldn't help no one could. So once again he called to the wind "Get me out of here wind!" a large violent gust rose him up and sent him flying, but sadly the shadows followed as well.

They gained speed and jack was becoming tired from all the flying. He was at his limits. Just then a figure appeared in front of him "Pitch!" jack took his staff and flew dead ahead only to fly though the boogieman "Sand, that damned sand of yours what do you want for me?" Pitch's hand rose holding it out almost in a friendly manner "Please Jack don't make this harder than it has to be."

Without another word Jack flew off unwary of where he was going.

It took several moments to realise the air was getting hotter around him and the wind weaker. But still he flew then Pitch came back riding one of his sandy creations "Please Jack stop, you're heading toward the equator you'll over heat"

"Shut your mouth, like you would care!" as he shouted the last part he attempted to hit Pitch with ice but as soon as it had formed it also faded simply splashing the shadow man with water. The heat was intolerable Jack could no longer bear with it and he fell.

The earth came rushing forward to him head first, he crashed into the side of a canyon spinning and tumbling crashing into the sides as the ground came closer. Then boom the dissent ended and his world faded.

Jack awoke in agony he screamed in pain tears unstoppable. Bones where broken, cuts felt and blood could be seen "Oh god, HELP ME!" the pain caused him to shake "Please help...me" he could feel darkness swoop over him along with unbearable heat. The last thing he saw was a shadow in the corner of his eye come running up to him.

Jack was still hot and all his body in pain once more but a little more comfortable. He slowly opened his eyes to find he was lying in a bed of snow and a small thin blue blanket placed half way up his body "Where am I?" he looked at his hands they were covered in bandages and slight red shadows could be seen.

A door opened slowly to his left and Pitch entered holding a bowl and other objects Jack couldn't make out. "Pitch you brought me here and helped me, why?" Pitch said nothing and simply sat down close to the small teenager "Please tell me, it hurts"

"That's because you flew too close to the equator and almost died. I had to carry you back here and dress your wounds. Then on top of that you were over heating almost melting to death so I then have to go and get you as much snow as I can bloody find all the time I take you with me in fear of you waking up and walking off, you are an idiot!" jack flinched away

"Where's my staff" he whispered trembling Pitch sighed and rolled the blanket down until Jack was uncovered there next to him was his staff the same as he had left it "You don't have to worry about your guardian duties for now, your helper will take care of winter for the time being."

"My helper" Jack croaked the winced in pain as the bandages on his arm were being removed

"Yes. North has the yetis. Bunny has the eggs. Tooth the fairies and sandy his sand" Pitch was sat cleaning the many cuts on Jacks arms carful about his brushes and fractured wrist.

"Who's my helper?"

"You don't know, the wind" Jack smiled he knew the wind was his friend but his helper but then something more pressing came into mind "Why Pitch, why are you helping me?"

"I don't want you to die, just them to suffer for a while" Jack's eyes widened he went to grab his staff but was stopped as Pitch squeezed his other wrist "Argh!" Jack screamed again "It will only be for a while, think of it as a punishment for your friends, they locked me away and turned you into one of them, just as I was liking the thought of you being like me." He wrapped jacks hand roughly making the boy cry out more "They deserve it, I finally had the power to be seen I could have helped use jack then they turn you against me. So I'm going to make them see what it's like to lose something you worked so hard to get then they will know what it's like to be me!"

Pitch was interrupted by the sounds of gargling and coughing he realised his grip to see Jack vomiting over himself. Clearly the pain Pitch had caused was too much for him causing this reaction.

Pitch took out a towel dipped it in cold water and cleaned Jack up the best he could, and like a smooth child Jack had fallen asleep.

Pitch placed his hand on the brow of the young guardian "I'm sorry Jack. Rest now and please forgive me"
