Jack sat at the window. It was like before, when Sandy had died. Except now, he was worried about Tsuki. His eyes moved up to the moon.

"Why won't you say anything? Please..."

"Jack?"

Jack put his head down. If anything, he wanted Tsuki here with him. But Tooth will do for now.

"Tooth, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have gotten between you two."

"I'm glad you did."

Jack looked up as Tooth sat down across from him. They locked eyes.

"Listen, Jack, Tsuki is there. I promise, but she's like the Man in the Moon now. She won't be able to directly talk to you..."

"But she could at least send a sign to me or anyone!" Jack pleaded.

Tooth sighed and looked down at her small hands.

"I'm not sure about the others, but I heard her screaming. Calling out to someone that would listen."

"When?"

Jack's hopes spiked. If she talked to Tooth, then she must still be there.

"A few days ago. I'm not sure what that was about, but since then, I haven't heard from her."

Jack's face fell.

"So something did happen to her... That's probably why the moon has been covered by clouds for the past few days."

"Maybe, we don't know that for sure Jack."

Jack felt a warm hand on his knee. He looked back up at Tooth. She was giving a soft smile that held kindness.

Before Jack could say anything, the door burst open.

"Jack, Tooth! There you are! There's a problem at Bunnymund's!"

Jack and Tooth looked at each other and jumped up.


"What happened here?"

"'Bout time you mates made it."

Bunnymund hopped up to him. The place was covered in blackness. Tooth zipped around examining it and Sandy had started as well. Jack stood next to North and Vallerie.

"Sorry, Frosty over here had to have a special moment with his girlfriend."

Jack shot her a look and took a step forward.

"Bunnymund, what happened?"

"I don't know, mate. It seems that I was attacked and it looks like the attacker was Pitch."

If a bunny could growl, Bunnymund did it. Jack could see the hatred in his face. He moved past him and towards a small tunnel.

"Are you sure it was him?"

"Yes, I'm damn sure!"

Jack could hear Vallerie and Bunnymund arguing behind him and slowly getting quieter as he got more into the tunnel.

It was covered in fresh green grass and flowers that spotted the tunnel. As he got further in, he noticed the blackness more and more. He finally reached a wall that looked familiar.

"Pitch?"

Jack tapped the wall with his staff and it crumbled. He took a step back and pointed his staff. Although it seemed it was the same wall, it opened up into blackness. Jack couldn't see anything in the hole. He looked around to see if there was anything in it. Suddenly, he felt a small hand on his back that pushed him into the darkness.

"Goodbye, Jack Frost."

Jack turned around and saw nothing. He raised his staff and it glowed a light blue. He looked around and still saw nothing.

"Jack..."

Jack twisted around.

"Jack..."

"Who's there?"

"Help me."

Jack took a few steps and stopped when he saw blood on the ground. He waved his staff to light his path up. He followed the little drops of blood and eventually found a set of pale feet. Jack moved his staff up and saw a girl with pure white hair hanging on the wall. Her thin, pale arms were slung over two large sticks. Her body was covered in dark red needles.

Jack's face went wide with horror.

"Tsuki!"

He dropped his staff and with panicked hands, pulled out the small needles. Tsuki's body slumped down when Jack lifted one of her arms off the sticks. Jack paused for a second and then moved so he was right in front of her. He lifted her other arm off the stick and stumbled backwards with the weight of the body. He laid still on the ground with Tsuki over him.

"Tsuki... come on. You have to be alive..."

Jack's voice wavered with emotion. Seeing her like this killed him inside. He looked around. It was dark except for the light from his staff. He moved his foot in position and flipped it to his hand. He picked it up and with uncomfortable movements, he managed to get himself and Tsuki up in a standing position. His eyes looked around the small space he was in. With a quick, swift movement, he put Tsuki against the wall and lifted her onto his back.

"Come on, let's get you back to the others."

Jack walked through the darkness in hope to find some light.


Jack had been walking for sometime and still hadn't found a way to get out. A groan escaped his white lips.

"...Jack?"

Jack froze. A soft, pain-filled voice whispered into his ear.

"Ts-Tsuki?"

He turned his head and was greeted with a soft face.

"Jack... You came..."

Jack gave a small laugh.

"I wouldn't say I came to get you. It just happened that I ran into you."

Tsuki felt tired and heavy on Jack's back, but it felt ever so nice to be pressed against him again. She shut her eyes and let her body go limp.

"Tsuki?"

"Move forward three steps and then turned to your right and walk another five..."

Jack was still and then went with her directions. He took his fifth step, only, he didn't feel the ground under his foot. Actually, he didn't feel anything. They fell down into the darkness.


"They should be coming in... Five... Four... Three... Two... One."

On one, Jack and Tsuki fell into North's office. Jack had twisted his body around and grabbed onto Tsuki with a firm grip and still had his staff in hand.

"Welcome back, mate."

Jack looked up at Bunnymund. He stood with his arms crossed and then gestured over to North and Tooth.

"You're alright. I'm so happy." Tooth said with a softened worried look.

"Of course." North said with a jiggle of his belly.

Jack sat up and looked around. They were, indeed, at North's. But how was that possible?

"How did we get here?"

"Tsuki sent a message to Bunnymund."

"How?"

North waved a large hand towards the window, where the Moon was shining brightly. Jack gave a skeptical look as a smile twitched at the edge of his lips.

"It doesn't matter." He looked down at the girl who was in his lap. "We have Tsuki now, that's all I care about."

The Guardians watched Jack's face relax and look at Tsuki with care.

"Hey, mate, do you need help?"

Jack shook his head lightly as he got up with ease. He held Tsuki in his arms and carried her to the room they had stayed in before.

"Bunny, follow."

Bunnymund looked at North with a confused look and then did as told.

North watched them leave and then turned back to Tooth and Sandy.

"I have a bad feeling in my belly..."
