North's POV:

When we came into the room Tooth went over to Jack along with her fairies. I looked to Pitch seeing the King of Nightmares and Fear shaken for Jack along with Jack's blood still on him. He must have felt my eyes on him for he took a side glance at me.

"Tooth, Pitch and I are going to let you do what you need to do. We'll not be too far let us know when you're done."

Tooth nodded her head as she got to work. I escorted Pitch out of the room noting that he looked back to Jack as we walked out. We went into another room not too far away and Pitch sat down on a nearby chair. I went into one of the wardrobes in the room and pulled out a pair of black jeans and a charcoal button up shirt and a black jacket. I walked over to Pitch handing him the cloths.

"Thought you could use new cloths…"

Pitch looked down at himself seeing the blood on his cloths and hands, taking the cloths I handed him.

"There is a bathroom right over there if you wish to wash up. I'll leave you be just call when you're done I have questions for you."

Pitch just turned and walked into the bathroom without another word.

Pitch's POV:

I took my clothes off and through them away seeing as I could no longer wear them. I turned to the shower and turned it on stepping in letting the hot almost scalding water cascade down my body seeing the water turn a pinkish color from Jacks blood. After scrubbing my body clean I stepped out and dried myself. I put on the cloths North had handed me and I have to say that the man had impeccable taste in clothes. I walked out of the room to see North sitting on a chair outside Jacks room. North pulled up another chair for me to sit in. We waited in silence for what seemed like ages but in reality it was about three hours when Tooth finally emerged.

"I have done all I can for Jack."

Tooth sighed as she removed the bloody apron and gloves handing them to her fairies to throw away. I walked into the room as Tooth and North followed me in. I sat down in the empty chair that I sat in earlier by Jack's bed side.

"Tooth tell us…tell us what happened to Jack."

"The damage is severe but I believe that Jack will pull through with time. Jack's injures consist of second and third degree burns on his arms, neck, face, and eyes. With severe blood loss once healed Jack is going to have massive scaring and will most likely be blind due to the fire damage. But the pattern of the scaring suggests that he was surprised and went on the defense."

"Tooth do you know what did this?"

"I was done magically and it held darkness in it. I don't know any more then that I'm afraid."

I thought of what could have done this when an idea came to me.

"Tooth could I have a burn sample from Jack? If what you say is true and this was done by a dark fire welder I might be able to narrow the search."

Tooth went over to Jack with a specimen jar and took a few samples of Jacks burned flesh and handed it to me.

"North do you have a lab or area where I can work?"

"I have empty work room you can use but I don't have any medical equipment."

"That's fine I'll have my nightmares procure some as well as having them get my records of every dark being that uses fire."

Tooth stepped forward and placed her hand on North's shoulder.

"North I'll go and contact the others and tell them the current situation."

"Very well I will show Pitch to his temporary lab."

Tooth's POV:

I went to North's control panel and activated the Northern lights calling the last two Guardians to the North Pole. Now it would be a waiting game till they got to North's. North soon came by without Pitch. Just in time as a hole opened in the floor as Bunnymund appeared.

"Now what the bloody hell is wrong!?"

"You will know as soon as sandy gets here…"

We waited no more than a few minutes before sandy came in on his golden sand plane.

"Now what in the blue blazes is going on and where is Jack he should be here for this bloody meeting!"

"Bunny that is what North and I have to tell both of you…"

"…What happened to the frost bite?"

"You must not get mad or upset and wait till I'm done. About eight hours ago Jack was attacked by an unknown dark fire being. Jack was brought to us by Pitch because Jack called him for help. Pitch brought him to North with MIM's direction to do so."

"When Pitch came to workshop he was severely shaken with Jack in his arms and bleeding badly."

"North patched Jack up as best he could and called me for help…When I got here and saw the wounds on Jack I honestly didn't think he would hold out. Good thing for us that Jack is a fighter. When I was finished the injuries consisted second and third degree burns on his arms, neck, face, and eyes. He also had severe blood loss. Once Jack is healed he is going to have massive scaring and…and he will most likely be blind.

I started crying as North put an arm around my shoulders as he began to talk further.

"Pitch has set up a lab in one of my empty workshops, to find and determine what kind of dark being did this to Jack and possibly find a way to heal him more then we can."

"…Can Sandy and I see Jack?"

"Unfortunately no. Jack has to stay in isolation for at least four days. It will reduce the chance of Jack getting an infection. I am only letting myself and Pitch in for now."

Normal POV:

The days became longer as the guardians waited. North was working on the years toys for the children but stopped by Jack's room often to check on his progress. Sandy came when he could to check on him as well. As for Bunny he stayed at North's as sat beside Jack's room so if anything were to happen he could get Tooth right away for she had to go back home and check on her fairies and the teeth collected. Pitch…He had not slept since he brought Jack to North's trying to find out what had done this.
