Jack slowly became aware of his surroundings. He could hear soft snores somewhere to the left of him and bells jingling in the background. He opened his eyes a crack but quickly closed them again when the light shot bursts of pain through them. He opened them again, but slower this time. As he got used to the light, he turned his head towards the sound of the snores but gave out a cry of pain as his head throbbed. Now that he was aware of the pain, his whole being hurt. His arms, his legs, his chest. Everything. He couldn't ignore the pain any longer. His eyes began to tear up and he let out a whimper of pain. The snoring individual must have heard and started to wake up.

North hears a small whimper of pain He opens his eyes, and looks toward the winter spirit on the bed. What he sees makes his heart break.

His eyes are filled with tears and he can see the pain written all over Jack's face. North gently whispers, "Jack. Jack, can you tell me what happened?" Jack looks at him and says, "Who's Jack?" with confusion written on his face. North looks at Jack in shock. North asks, "You don't know who you are?"

Jack looks at the big man with confusion and uncertainty in his eyes. He thinks back to why he is hurt. He tries to remember how he got hurt but quickly realizes he can't.

Jack looks at the man and asks him in a distressed tone, "Who are you? What's wrong with me? Why can't I remember?" The man looks at him with sadness in his eyes. He answers in a happy tone, "I'm North, Spirit of Christmas and Guardian of Wonder. You somehow got hurt and have a fair sized gash on your head. You must have hit your head on something causing your amnesia. But don't worry. You'll be better before you know it. Now, sleep. It'll help."

Jack opens his mouth to say he's not tired, but instead, a yawn appears. Jack gives the large, burly man a sheepish smile and falls asleep quickly.

North tucks the blankets around the sleeping form and goes to call the other Guardians. He must inform them of the situation.

"What did Snowflake do this time?" Bunnymund asks North as he came out of his tunnels. North saw that everyone was there and began the meeting.

"Earlier today, Jack came stumbling into the workshop injured and bleeding. He collapsed and I took him to his room. I tended to his wounds and just a little over an hour ago, he woke up. He didn't know who he was, or who I was. He has amnesia. He doesn't remember us or anything that has happened and we need to solve the problem of Jack's memory loss." North told them in a somber voice. Sandy looked shocked. Bunnymund felt bad for immediately thinking Jack did something wrong.

Tooth was already making her way toward Jack's room, wanting to see how he was. North saw this and stopped Tooth immediately, telling her that Jack was currently asleep and that she would be of no help at the moment. He went on to say, "What we need to do is find a way for Jack to get his memories back. and once that is done, Then, we shall find out who attacked him. Anything else?"

Tooth was going to ask when she could see him. North interrupted her saying, "Soon, Tooth. When Jack wakes up, we will all go see him." Tooth nodded, satisfied with the answer.

"How are we going to get his memory back? It's not like we can just hand it over to him or find it hiding under a rock or something." Bunny asked.

North nodded thoughtfully, answering, "I planned to show him familiar things, like his lake, hoping to jog his memory. That's all I have for now." Bunny had a thoughtful look on his face at this and North saw that Sandy had no questions and North settled down to wait for Jack to wake up.
