This is my first chapter of "Rise Of The Gaurdians Short Stories", I hope you all read, enjoy and comment on it and give me ideas for more chapters in the future.

The Gaurdians were at the warren and were helping bunny with decorating his eggs, it was a few months after they defeated pitch and they were trying to make next year's Easter an amazing one. They were all either painting or getting eggs.

Jack was extremely exhausted, considering the heat in the warren and how he was a winter spirit. He tried not to let it show though, he didn't want to dampen the mood. Unfortunately, Tooth saw him having to lean on his staff to stop from collapsing, he then had to rest on a wall and still use his staff to keep him upright. Tooth, with her motherly instinct, rushed over in worry, just in time to catch him from falling. This did not go unnoticed by everyone else, they came over too, concern on their face.

"Jack, what's wrong?" Tooth asked, her face soft.

Jack managed to form words between his heavy breathing, "I'm... I'm a winter... Spirit... Remember? Too... Much warmth... Can... Hurt... Me." Sweat rolled off his face and his eyes drooped, even his staff seemed to be affected by the heat.

"Oh, Jack, we forgot, we need to get you somewhere cold." Tooth started helping him up when his legs gave out underneath him and his eyes fully closed, but you could tell he wasn't asleep, luckily he was caught by bunny. Even though he was incapable of walking around by himself in this state he tried and started walking, what went unnoticed by Jack was the silent conversation everyone else was having.

They agreed that sandy should knock him out before he hurts himself. Sandy gathered a ball of sand in his hand and hit Jack's head with it. The pale teenager fell to the ground, only to be caught by bunny. Bunny fully carried him and created a tunnel beneath him that tooth and him went through to North Pole.

Tooth gently layed Jack's small body on the cold snow, outside of North's Workshop/House/Factory. The small teen sinking into the snow.
