It means a lot, I get such a kick whenever I see a new review pop up! :) Okay onwards to chapter 2!

NORTH

The haze that had swamped North's mind faded away to reveal an absolute nightmare. Blackness was all he could see. At first he assumed that his eyes were still closed. Conducting a closer inspection North discovered, much to his horror that he was in a prison cell. A cell made of black nightmare sand. The events that had taken place at his workshop exploded into existence. Pitch. He had threatened to slit Tooth's throat. He remembered the fairy shaking her head furiously. North could tell if she was saying to them not to surrender or that she didn't want to die. She had been scared though, that much North knew. He tried to stand up. He was unsteady and the world blurred for a moment. He sucked in a heavy breath and stumbled to the front of his cell. Two Nightmares stood outside. There was no doubt of where he was. This was Pitch's lair.

Wait where were the others? Staring down the dark corridor North noticed three other cells. In them he could each one of his fellow Guardians, slumped on the floor still unconscious. Bunny was in the cell next to him. North peered through the blackened sand bars.

"Bunny, wake up. Come on no time for sleep. Wake up now!"

The Australian Easter Bunny stirred and then shot up. He was tense and his eyes wide. North waited patiently for Bunny to take in his surrounding. Bunny's eyes finally settled on North.

"Pitch?"

"I'm afraid so,"

Bunny growled in frustration, "We have to get outta here North,"

"I know Bunny. Wake others, then we will figure out plan,"

Tooth came to and Sandy, much slower though. Tooth looked as if she was going to cry. North sighed. She's blaming herself.

"Tooth this is not your fault," North said gently.

"But,"

"No," Bunnymund said firmly, "we would have done the samething regardless who it was,"

Tooth nodded gravely. Sandy had been flapping his arms around madly for the last couple of minutes. North finally noticed the Sandman and leaned over to try and see him.

"What is it Sandy?"

Sandy made a snowflake of gold sand and then pointed to an empty cell next to him. They understood instantly. North smiled. There was hope. The Northern Lights had been activated. He wasn't shore if he had pressed the right button. Jack knew. He hadn't been captured, he got away.

"Yes, Jack will come and find us. I know he will!" Tooth cried.

"Oh I don't think so Tooth Fairy,"

The voice sent tiny needles prickling down North's spine. Hatred flooded his veins as he stared up at Pitch. The black lean figure was standing on a platform encircling the wall, so the cells were in a kind of pit. The man's bony fingers curled around the railing. He then started to walk down a ladder. He stopped right outside Tooth's cell and glared in at her.

"W-what do you mean Pitch? Where's Jack?"

"Oh he won't be coming. He's got his hands full at the moment he just doesn't know it yet,"

"Why are we here?" North bellowed.

"You're mine now, North. My prisoners,"

"I mean, why didn't you kill us?"

"Don't worry I will, but-"

"To hell you will. You come near me mate and I'll skin you," Bunny snarled.

"So tough, but it's simply pathetic. Anyway, to answer your question North you will die soon, but first I won't you to watch as everything you have worked for falls apart, including Jack Frost. I'll keep the rest of my plan to myself. I know how all of you love surprises,"

"You won't hurt Jack. He defeated you before he will do it again," North said with as much confidence as he could muster.

"Perhaps. I know about we see how he's fairing shall we?" Pitch said with an evil delight.

He extracted a remote from his cloak and pressed a button on it. The opposite wall slid away to reveal a sort of TV screen. It came to life and an image of North's workshop consumed the screen. This wasn't possible, unless Pitch had been in North's workshop at some time. The thought disgusted and enraged North.

"How did you get camera into my home?" North raged.

"The first time I was there, when MIM chose Jack Frost I planted the tiniest slither of Nightmare sand. It's like a snake. You really need to take better care of your home North,"

North couldn't help but take the bait. He howled in an outrage, slamming his fist into the sand bars of his cell.

"Hush now North, here comes your precious Jack," Pitch leered.

At that moment Jack did appear on the screen. He looked around bewildered. He was in North's lounge room, with his favourite armchair upturned! Pitch was going to pay.

"Hello?" Jack called out, "North? Anyone here? Guys, are you even here or am I talking to air?"

"Jack we're here!" Tooth yelled.

Pitch just laughed maliciously, "he can't here you Toothiana,"

North continued to stare at the screen. Jack was currently walking down endless corridors. He was heading to North's office he realised.

"If this is a joke it's seriously not funny. And trust me I know about funny. Hello…" Jack's voice trailed off as he opened the door to his office.

"North…? We have you gone? They wouldn't leave me, right?"

"Oh Jack, we are here. We would never leave you!" Tooth wailed.

Jack walked around the table, his hand running over its surface. He face was set in a firm expression. He shook his head and stood up. Breaking into a sprint North watched as he ran in the direction of the main part of the Workshop. Where all the elves and yetis were? Were they still there? North hung his head. He was positive that Pitch had imprisoned them just as he had to Tooth's fairies. Suddenly Jack stopped short and frowned.

"Maybe they're at the Warren or the Tooth Palace? I'll check there later. Come on Jack, don't stop now,"

North exchanged an anxious look with Bunny. Jack was so clueless. He had no idea what had happened and now he was worried. Turning his eyes back to the ominous screen North's temper rose even more at seeing what await Jack in the Workshop. His suspicions were confirmed. Pitch had taken the yetis and elves.

"Pitch! What have you done to my elves and yetis?"

"They're fine, mostly along with the Toothiana's fairies,"

"You monster! They're still scared from the last time you kidnapped them!" Tooth roared, punching her sand prison.

"Phil? What is going on here!?" Jack's voice echoed off the walls, causing Pitch to smile with glee.

"Where the hell is everyone?" there was a pause and then a dark expression crossed Jack's face, "Pitch. He did this. Of course he did,"

Suddenly in a fit of anger and frustration Jack kicked the ground and shot a blast of ice from his staff. It ricochets off the far wall, sending ice shards skittering across the wooden floor. He burries his face in his hands and then runs it through his hair. North's heart breaks at what the teen said next.

"Why do I keep stuffing everything up? First it was Easter and I know Bunny hates me for it. I hate myself for it. I don't sleep at night because of what I did. Now this! I was meant to go to the meeting, but I wasn't there. Ah I was late and now they're gone…"

North shouted at screen trying to convey to the oblivious Jack that there was still hope, but it was pointless. North felt defeated as Pitch walked away laughing, leaving the Guardians staring sadly at the still alive screen.

As I said this is going to somewhere, I promise. If you have any suggestions please tell me. Oh and review, I don't have a lot, but hopefully that will change soon (crossing fingers) That's all I can do the rest is up to you. Thanks again for sticking with this (and me) :) See you guys soon :) :)
