Jack was being her usual self: running through the pole to get away from Phil and Bunny. She jumped onto a table, front flipped onto a bookcase and climbed up it before leaping onto a rafter, without relying on her staff because Phil took it away. Jack proceeded to yell at the two from the rafters.
"It was an accident! I didn't mean to freeze that section of the floor!"
"Accident!?" Bunny roared "That was no accident you lyin' little witch! Phil was carrying a crate of fragile train parts to be boxed up for Christmas and I was just passin' through with my eggs, because of your 'accident' the train parts broke so North can't finish the train and my eggs are elf food!" There was no attempt to hide the anger in his voice at all.
"I didn't mean it." Jack said
"Get down from there or I'll knock you down!" Bunny yelled, pulling out his boomerangs and letting one fly.
It hit Jack's face with a loud 'smack'. She nearly lost her balance, but gripped a beam that held the rafters in place.
"I didn't mean to do it!" Tears fell from Jack's eyes. Bunny, however, seemed unconvinced.
"If I catch you doin' that again, I'll be sure to knock you down from up there." The rabbit threatened before he hopped away. Phil tried to give Jack her staff, but seeing that she wasn't going to take it, he put it on a bookshelf for her to grab when she needed to.
Jack pulled her hood over her head and cried into the support beam. She hadn't meant to do that. Maybe she should just go. Nobody needed her now, it was her off season and summer was in Burgess. Tooth had gotten angry at her earlier that day for her accidental freezing of Tooth's fairies when she sneezed.
Sandy before her, Jack froze Sandy's dreamship and he got so mad he made a sand volcano at her. North was the first one she ticked off. Maybe if Jack hadn't froze the entirety of North's office than she wouldn't have done any of that. But it wasn't her fault. She didn't know why she did that, but now she didn't care. All she knew was that she needed to go.
To get as far away from everyone as possible. She jumped down onto the bookcase and grabbed her staff. She flew out to the work place where North kept the snow globes smashed everyone of them. She flew out open window as fast as she could. As she flew higher she said "Wind, please, just take me somewhere far away. Where no one will know I'm even there."
She felt the North Wind envelope her and then she was in the Arctic, staring at the nightmare sand ice sculpture. But, wait.. There were only remnants of the bottom structure. It was as if it had been melted. And the sand.. Where was the sand? Jack clutched her staff to her, about to call the wind before something warm hit her. She was knocked forwards, her staff flying from her hands as she hit the snow. She turned to see Jill, the spirit of summer, and Pitch, the nightmare king, standing before her.
"Hello Jack." Jill said, a grin akin to that of the Cheshire cat on her face.
"Jill," Jack said, sweat forming on her brow from the close proximity she was to Jill, "get away from Pitch."
"Why?" Jill asked in a mocking voice, not giving a flying firework what Jack had to say.
"Because, he's a bad guy!" Jack cried as she was reaching for her staff, before it was snagged by a nightmare "Hey!"
The nightmare dropped the staff in Pitch's hands, the nightmare king smirked "Oh, does this belong to you?"
Jack tried to grab the staff, but stopped when Jill kicked her upside the head. Her vision started dancing more than sugarplums on Christmas Eve. It all turned black when Pitch's nightmare sand enveloped her.
