"Still no signs of Pitch." I muttered to myself as I took one last check in the forest of Burgess. It was the middle of the night, and even though North and the others believe that Pitch won't be a problem again for a long time, that's too soon for me, and I didn't want to take any chances at him surprisin' us again. It's the middle of January in 2016 and I'm still on edge from 2012.

Just as I'm about to head back to the Warren, I hear a disturbin' number of growls and snarls, and considerin' I'm in the middle of the forest, that could be any number of things. I turn to face the sound and my eyes widen significantly as I watched six extremely large wolves come towards me. Their fur was all different and ranged from chestnut brown to ash gray. Each of them had to be about 6'6 because they were taller than me. Behind them was a woman with peach colored skin, medium length green hair, yellow eyes, and all of her clothes were made out of fur. She wore a short fur cape, a sleeveless shirt, long pants, and boots. "Well, if it isn't the Easter Bunny."

"What are ya doin' here? This isn't your area."

"Is that any way to speak to a lady?" She crossed her arms as she stepped forward.

"I don't know, I'll let ya know when I see one." I spat as I pulled out my boomerangs.

She staggered back a bit at my comment and shot me a pissed off look of disbelief. "How dare you!?"

"Wolfina, the last time I saw you was a hundred and fifty years ago, and you were being cast out by Mother Nature because you had sent your wolves on children and somehow learned to control Wendigo. Why she let you live is beyond me, but I can't have ya here near children. You were supposed to stay in the rain forest where no one would be able to find you."

"I left, obviously. You see, I don't quite agree with Mother's punishment."

"And what do ya plan on doin' about it?" I questioned as I glared at her and her wolves, my boomerangs ready for a fight.

"Oh, nothing much, just going to dethrone her. The queen of Nature...Wolfina. Has a nice ring to it, doesn't it?"

"Y-You...?" I couldn't help it, I started laughin'. I was clutchin' my sides and tears were falling from my eyes. "You think you can actually...!" I continued to bellow out my laugh as I held a hand out to a tree for support so I wouldn't fall over laughin'. "Ya really think ya can defeat Mother Nature!"

"Of course I do, I have my wolves and the Wendigo at my command."

"Oh my...!" I started laughin' some more. "...and you're damn confident about it too! Well..." I started as I tried to calm myself. "...not that it matters, but I know for a fact that you wouldn't be able to defeat her...and I still can't let ya near the little ankle-biters, so I'm only gonna ask once. Please leave and go back to the forest."

"I won't." She replied with pure agitation and defiance.

"Then, I guess I'm gonna have to make ya leave!" I growled out.

"Boys..." She started in a sing-song tone. "Lunch!"

Almost instantly the wolves started to attack, and I was tossin' my boomerangs at them, kickin' at them, and even usin' some of my more discreet powers of nature to cause them to either be held up or trip. It was goin' great so far, and the wolves hadn't gotten a single swipe in, but then it started to snow...a lot. 'Dammit Frostbite!' I thought as I continued to fight.

"Snow?" I heard Wolfina question.

"Yeah! SNOW!" I heard Jack's voice boom with fury, and I was a bit stunned that it could hold such a sound. It practically sounded like a roar.

"JACK FROST!?" I heard Wolfina shout, and if I didn't know any better, I would say that through her clear rage, there was a hint of fear. 'Someone's afraid of Jack? Someone like her?'

"You never learn!" I heard him shout and that alone made my eyes go wide. I took the time to look in the direction of Jack and Wolfina, and he started to send electric ice after her. He leapt onto one of the wolves and slammed the butt of his staff down on one of the wolves heads, not only freezin' it, but killin' it. I was completely gobsmacked that Jack was capable of killin' a creature, but then again, he was a fighter, and although we still didn't get along much, I had to give it to him for his skills. "You bring these wolves, and you've given them a SPECIFIC taste for children! I know your tricks! Why are you here!?"

I started to continue my attack on the wolf in front of me, tryin' to take in Jack's words, and about a million questions started swimmin' through my head. 'How long had they known each other? How did he learn about what she did with the wolves? When did he learn to kill? How many battles has he had to face in order to be able to fight like he does? The last question left me just a bit dazed, because if he had to square off against Wolfina enough times to where he learned her tricks?' Then, it brought forth an even more startlin' question. 'What other spirits has Jack had to face...alone?'

"That's none of your business!" I heard her shout, interruptin' me from my thoughts, and that's when I noticed she took out her own sword to attack Jack.

"I'm making it my business! I won't let you hurt children!" He growled out as somethin' new shot out of his staff, or at the very least, somethin' I hadn't seen. Pure ice shards started bein' formed in mid-air and they all immediately started goin' after her as if they had a homin' signal on her. "I've already taken out two of your pets...if you don't want to make it more, go back to the rain forest! You will not harm any children!"

"You monster!" She shouted in panic as she jumped onto one of her wolves, and leapt into the sky at Jack. My eyes widened in horror as I watched her slash her sword at Jack in mid-air.

"JACK!" I shouted, but neither of them were payin' any attention to me anymore, and neither were the wolves as Jack fell to the ground, clutchin' his side. I was about to go and help him, when I watched him form an ice patch around the wound. "Jack?" I whispered out as the questions from earlier repeated themselves.

"I am NOT a MONSTER!" He screamed as he spun his staff in his palm, changing the direction of the blizzard, and to my immense surprise, he created a snow tornado that enveloped her, lifted her up into the air, and when he stopped spinnin' his staff, it disappeared as if it was never there.

"How can you say that, when winter kills!?" She screamed as she tried to get steady on her feet.

"LEAVE THIS AREA!" He shouted, not answerin' her question, and it only made the situation that much more concernin'. Then, he shot more ice shards at her while she was still unsteady, and she got bloodied up pretty good, but then she glared at me. She gave a wolfish grin and disappeared for a blink of a moment before comin' up behind me and before I could react, slashed my arms, legs, and back.

"I'll leave for now! But I'm giving you a little gift! Have fun, Jack Frost!" As my vision blurred I watched her and the remainder of her wolves disappear one by one.

I heard footsteps comin' towards me as I started to only be able to see silhouettes. "Oh...Bunny..." Jack's voice echoed, and then everything went black.
