Chapter 1

*Jack*

Third person p.o.v.

Jack was bored, it was about mid afternoon and all of the children were stuck in that prison they call school. Not only was he bored but frustrated as well. No matter how much snow he summoned it melted before it could hit the ground, what should have been a blizzard turned into a massive rain storm. Finally giving up he decided not to worry about it and floated over a random school. To his surprise and pure delight, kids were outside.

Okay so they weren't exactly children, more like teens, but it would hopefully still fill his time.

He allowed his altitude to rapidly decrease, willing the wing to catch him just above a lamp post. He landed, squatting on it looking for entertainment.

"Hey brown eyes!" Three blonde boys confidently walked towards a group of girls.

"What do you want?" A girl asked as her and the others glared.

"Oh nothing, just wanted to say hi, you know that's how people greet each other." The boy explained slowly as if he was talking to a small child.

"Oh, hi," another girl gave a wide sweat smile then growled, " now go away."

The two groups exchanged comebacks until one boy personally pointed out a girl who had refused to say anything.

"Why so quiet?" He snarled hitting his friend in the arm when he smiled and waved at the girl. This action earned an "ouch" from the nice boy.

The girl smiled at the boy that had waved then proceeded to glare looking up from the volleyball she was fiddling with.

"Why do you care?"

"I don't"

"Asking implies that you do. If you didn't care you wouldn't ask," jack snickered at the boys reaction to her logic, "now if you'll excuse us, I want to play volleyball."

The nice boy laughed and followed after her happily, the girl then turned, "By the way my eyes are green!"

Jack frowned slightly, ~that voice~ he thought, ~I've heard that voice before.~

He studied the girl carefully, her long pitch black hair framed her face perfectly, parted to the right and fell over her left eye slightly. It fell down her shoulders and back in soft, loose waves lack a waterfall.

She had a nice tan even though it was the middle of winter, and she looked pretty healthy.

But what really got jack's attention was her eyes. Her sea-green eyes stirred something deep inside of him, even from a distance jack could see them perfectly, it seemed more like he was picturing them rather than looking at them. He could clearly see the waves in them. He had to of seen her before, everything about her seemed to scream at him.

Yep, he had definitely seen her before, but were? He was about to fly closer when he saw something that made his skin crawl.

As he looked up at the northern lights a sickening feeling developed in the pit of his stomach. He knew something was wrong, he could feel it. Usually when he was called to the pole it was for good reasons, little meetings the allowed the guardians to catch up, but something told him that this was different. Still he silently prayed that it was nothing big as he headed to the north pole.

"Oh just tell us already!" the giant Australian Easter Bunny demanded.

North and Bunny were arguing, glaring at each other with their noses practically touching.

The large Russian Santa sighed, "I told you! I do not know, Man in Moon told me to call!"

Jack laughed at the two, they were standing there oblivious to the small golden man trying to get their attention. The sandman was frantically waving his arms in the air, rapid dream sand images flashing above his head as he tried desperately to point out the moon.
Deciding to cut Sandy some slack, Jack stepped between

The two holiday spirits, " Guys! Sandy is about to explode! He has been trying to get you attention for five minuets."

"Oh, sorry sandy," North turned to the small man," What is it?"

Sandy glared but pointed to the open window were the moon was shining brightly.

"Finally!" Tooth exclaimed looking up from her buzzing mini fairies.

"A beam of light shone brightly on the floor, a shadow began to form into a figure all the guardians recognized.

"pitch? Is that even possible?" Bunny panicked looking to North.

" No, it has only been two years, he could not have come back yet." he replied.

"Unless he had help." Jack growled pointing at the shadow that had changed into a new form.

It was obviously a boy. His clothes seemed ragged and ripped. His hair was wild and moved as if it was on fire.

" who exactly is that?" Jack frowned at the image wile eyeing the fiery spear in his hand. He couldn't tell if he was goanna like this boy or not but something about him seemed

Off.

"I'm not sure." Bunny was hovering over the image," But I don't like him."

"Good to know you open to options." The winter spirit murmured just loud enough for Bunny to hear and not the others.

" I heard that," Bunny sent jack a glare.

"You were supposed to," he teased. "So if this guy is helping Pitch, how are we supposed to stop them?"

As if on que a giant blue crystal emerged form the center of the room. Bunny's eyes widened, "What! No, not another one! I'm still not used to Him!"

Jack frowned he had a pretty good idea what this meant. "Gees, that hurts Bunny, I though we were besties." Jack joked, smirking as the over grown rabbit rolled his eyes.

" Fine, as long as it's not the ground hog."

A form began to appear above the crystal, slowly shaping into a familiar person, well at least familiar to jack, the others not so much.

"Who is that?" Tooth asked eyeing the girl with a look of confusion.

Sandy shrugged.

"I've never seen her before ." Bunny squinted at the image.

" well maybe she's just a shy spirit." North suggested.

"uh, guys," Jack paused not sure what to say," she's just a normal kid." they all looked at him like he was an alien.

"You know her?"

"Yeah, well no, at least not personally, but I've seen her around." He paused slightly uncomfortable with all the attention, but he continued." Earlier today, but as far as I could tell she was a normal teenager. She was at school and hanging out with friends and stuff. That doesn't sound like a spirit to you dose it?"

The others nodded slightly frustrated.

"Fine, I'll get the sack." Bunny turned to leave but Jack quickly stopped him, wrapping the crook of his staff gently around the rabbit's neck.

"That is not a good idea, we don't want to freak her out, besides she probably can't even see us yet." Jack turned to North," I'll get her."
