Outlaws of love.
It had been three years since the guardians had deffeated Pitch and had two new guardians join them. Jack and Diana Frost but now they were known as the guardians of fun and imagination.
A lot has happened in the past three years; especially romance. Bunny had a new mate. A beautiful, brown pooka named Shella. Sandy also had a girl. She was a night spirit that granted the wishes of the children who were pure hearted, kind and cared about others. Her name was Starshine. She had golden hair and green eyes. North and Tooth had gotten together even though everyone thought that she and Jack would hook up. Speaking of the male Frost, he "came out" two years after Pitch was gone. He wasn't with anyone because he was waiting for the right person to come along. But when it came to his adopted sister, Diana, that was a different story. Even though every single guy went crazy when she was around, none of them made her feel the way Pitch had. Even though he had threatened to hurt her if Jack didn't give him his staff, she still had second thoughts about him. They way he spoke to her was almost hypnotic and made her melt. His charm and dashing looks were what stole her heart all those years ago. But now, she didn't know what to feel anymore. Yes, she still had feelings for him but she kept them inside and never told anyone about them. For days she'd feel sick to her stomach and when she talked about Pitch, she'd feel better. She tried forgetting about him but she just couldn't. She had nightmares and sometimes dreams about him every night for the past three years and this worried Sandy. He confronted her many times but she just said that she was tired. Not that he ever believed her but he kept her secret safe.
One winters night, Diana was flying over Burgess, landing on a roof from time to time, laying down an extra layer of snow. All the other guardians were out working or helping North prepare for Christmas which was a week away. Everyone had already gotten gifts for one another. After North was done delivering gifts, there would be a party afterwards and every guardian had to attend. Not that Diana wanted to go this year. But she still wanted to give everyone their presents. She wanted to she her brother's face when he finally gets the electric guitar he always wanted. When everyone else asked Diana what she wanted, she told them simple things like CDs and stuff like that. But deep down she wanted to be left alone or to find Pitch.
As Diana was walking on a rooftop, a shadow flew past her and nearly knocked her over. She jumped back in surprise and floated in the air. "What was that?!" She narrowed her eyes looking for the "thing". The shadow flew past behind her. "There!" She yelled out and followed it into the woods. She chased it for hours until the sun came up and the shadow disappeared. She groaned in irratation and because she was exhausted. She sighed and landed on the ground deciding to walk home, she was to tired to fly. As she walked into an open area, she frozen in her tracks and swallowed hard. There in the centre of the open space, was the old rotted bed frame that stood over the dark hole that lead to Pitch's lair. Not thinking, she slowly made her way to it. In her mind she kept telling herself thar she shouldn't be here and that she should leave but in her heart she wanted to go see if Pitch was alive. She looked down into the hole and saw nothing. Moving the bedframe away, she jumped into the hole, not noticing the bedframe move back.
