Hey guys this is just proof of how weird my mind is. Anyways I own nothing but my OC.

Cynthia POV

All the guardians were shocked when I came back with Jack. He was missing for three years so I guess they have the right; oh, also the fact of how beaten up he looked. Seriously he looked half dead.

"Cynthia where did you find him?" North asked.

"The lake near Jamie's house," I said.

"Impossible we looked there a dozen times mate," Bunny said.

I shook my head. I noticed a piece of paper in his pocket. I took it out all the guardians looked over my shoulder. Tooth read it aloud.

Dear guardians,

Jack has been with me for the past three years. He is strong I'll admit that it took awhile to break him but nevertheless I managed it.

-Pitch.

I was shocked to say the less. We heard a groaning sound and turned towards Jack. He was waking up.

"What…" he said.

I felt uncomfortable. I decided to let the others deal with him since well they knew him better. When he saw them he looked startled.

"I'm dreaming," he muttered.

He looked around.

"How…what," he said.

"Jack," North said kindly, "What is the last thing you remember?"

"Seeing a pair of gold brown eyes."

North looked at me, "Jack that was Cynthia she found you and took you here."

"Cynthia?"

I moved into view.

"Hi," I said.

"But Pitch…" he said.

"Pitch trapped you for three years. In the middle of those three the Man in the Moon chose another guardian. The other guardian is Cynthia," North explained.

Jack shook his head as though to clear bad thoughts. I felt uncomfortable, after all the guardians talk nonstop about Jack and now I am actually meeting him.

"So," Jack asked trying to get the attention off of him, "What's your center?"

"Friendship, bravery, trust, and love," I said.

"So what happened when I was gone?"

"Not much actually other than looking for you and getting Cynthia we didn't have much action until today," Tooth said.

Jack shook his head, "This still seems like a dream."

"Pinch yourself," I suggested, "I do that to assure myself that I'm not dreaming."

He looked at me again causing me to become self conscious. I shifted uncomfortably those blue eyes seemed to look at my soul. Thankfully North saved me.

"I can assure you that it is not a dream," he said.

"Okay, what's today's date?" Jack asked.

"December 22nd," I answered.

Jack suddenly stiffened. He was looking behind us. I turned and gasped.

"Well, well, well it is so nice to see all the guardians together again. So touching," Pitch said.

I moved next to Jack and bent down beside him. I placed my hand on his shoulder causing him to flinch.

"Do you have your staff?" I asked so that only he could hear me.

He nodded his head that was barely noticeable.

"Good, when I say now attack him," I muttered.

I looked back at where Pitch was. I saw him slowly come towards Jack and I. I grabbed my bow and an arrow. I notched it. He came closer 10 feet. Jack had his staff. 5 feet.

"Get ready," I whispered.

3 feet.

"NOW!" I shouted.

I let the arrow fly at the same time ice came from Jack. Pitch disappeared. When he reappeared he had Jack by his hood. Jack had a scared look in his eyes. He was making whimpering sounds.

"Let him go," my voice was dangerously calm.

The other guardians had their weapons out but they didn't attack. Jacks staff was on the ground. I willed roots to appear. The roots flung Jacks staff towards us away from Pitch. Tooth caught it.

"Well, now where is the fun in that?" Pitch asked, "None of the guardians will attack me when one of their own is at my mercy."

Pitch pulled Jacks hair causing him to cry out in others looked at each other. I knew that they didn't want Pitch to have Jack again, but also they didn't want to hurt Jack either.

"Let Jack go and you can have me," I whispered.

Jack shook his head as much as he could with it being pulled by Pitch, "Cynthia no!"

"I'm not going to let him hurt you again Jack! It's better me than you," I cried out.

The other guardians were stunned. I walked over and he tossed Jack to the other guardians. Where he lay in a heap.I kicked Pitch and wrapped him in tree roots and leaves. Tooth gave Jack his staff. Pitch disappeared and didn't come back. The others looked at me stunned.

"Cynthia I don't know whether to be mad at you or proud," North said.

"Well I couldn't let him have Jack," I said brushing my dirty blonde hair out of my eyes.

Jack seemed to be studying me.

"Well that was certainly brave," he said.

"Or stupid," I muttered then I said louder, "the only reason it worked was because he wasn't expecting it."

"He will be expecting it next time."
"So we have to be on guard."

North nodded agreeing. I smoothed out my dress with fall colors on it.

"What I've been wondering is what Pitch did to you in those years he had you," North said looking at Jack.

Jack stiffened at the reminder but slowly relaxed when I put my hand on his shoulder. I could tell that he was beginning to trust me.

"He did a lot of things North, most of which I don't want to remember," Jack muttered.

North nodded. He went into his office. Slowly the other guardians left us. I looked at Jack he reminded me of somebody. I couldn't quite put my finger on it.

"You okay?" I asked.

"I'm fine," he mumbled.

I raised an eyebrow. Over the years I have learned whether or not someone is lying. Right now Jack most certainly is lying.

"No you're not," I said, "please tell me what is wrong."
I was worried that he would push me away but instead. To my surprise he took a deep breath and started.

Hey guys thanks for reading. It probably made no sense at the beginning unless you read the summary. Anyways please review.
