A/N: Hello again! For this chapter, I decided to add some different point of views. The chapter is short, for that I apologize. I just didn't want to wait so long for the next chapter. I also wanted to get this up on Easter, with a little Bunnymund in there! Anyways. Enjoy!

Silence. I can't breathe. It feels like if I don't say something, I could drown. In a few moments, urgent whispers swept across the crowd below us. I could move again, so I stood up, hovering a few inches off of the ground. Jack stood up as well.
"What...?" I heard him mumble under his breath. His grip tightened on my hand. That was when we realized that we were holding hands. I quickly let go, thankful for the fact that he couldn't see me blush.
Several minutes later, I heard a scream, and then another in a different direction. I felt my heartbeat rise, and found myself looking everywhere, frantically searching the dark for something I couldn't see. I was getting a sick feeling in my stomach, which only grew worse when I heard his laugh. The one sound that sent chills down everyone's spine, familiar to Jack and I.
Was it possible to get any darker? I seemed like it, as he swept through the crowd and more screams filled the air. His menacing laugh grew louder, until it stopped, seemingly above everyone.
"Look at you all, trembling in fear," he hissed. "Pathetic."
He flew through the crowd again. Small lights began to shine below us, people had started taking out their cellphones.
"Oh, how smart of you! Yes, use your cellphones and such. Let them light the way," he spoke in a mocking tone. "They won't last for long!" he was practically singing. Acting like the kid who knew a secret.
"Now look. At. This!" Pitch appeared in front of us from the shadows. "The Guardians!" he looked around. "Well, two of them. And just who I wanted to see," he said, walking up to Jack. "What a pleasant surprise!"
Jack grabbed him by his shirt. "What did you do, Pitch?"
"Ooh, I love it when you're angry! It's absolutely adorable." Pitch laughed. It was making me sick to my stomach to hear him talk.
"But what are you going to do now?" he melted into the shadows, leaving nothing for Jack to grasp. A chill ran down my spine when he reappeared behind me, and whispered into my ear.
"I'll be waiting."
Chaos filled the workshop. I couldn't think straight. Everyone was talking about Pitch, trying to figure out the situation. On top of this, I was worrying about my fairies back at the Palace. We rely on the light of the sun, and right now, they would be completely in the dark.
Behind me, a fight was breaking out between Bunny and Jack. They were bickering about something stupid again. North was trying to break them up, while Sandy fought to be seen. Enough was enough.
"Will you two just stop it?" I said, to no avail. "I said, STOP!"
Bunny dropped the elf he was holding, and everyone looked at me.
"There is no use fighting. Is it really helping anyone?" They said nothing, but looked down.
"I need to go. The Palace is in complete darkness. From the looks of it, I'm going to have to get back in the field and help my fairies. We can't let last year repeat itself." and with that, I flew out of the workshop, and into the cold.

What happens now? After Tooth left, I had nothin' to say to Jack. Yeah, we shouldn't of been fighting. I feel like it's our fault that Tooth left for the Palace, but I know it isn't.
"Sorry, mate."
"Sorry." he returned. I looked over at Sandy, to see him sigh.
"She's right, you know," I started.
"Yes," North added. "What do you think Pitch is up to?"
"I don't know. When the flames went out, it looked like the sun was being swallowed or something," Jack explained. "Everything kind of, stopped."
Sandy was trying to say something, but I couldn't understand the little guy's pictures above his head.
"Uh, paper, North. Sandy's tryin' to say something." North handed him a paper and pencil. Sandy scribbled something down, handed it to Jack, and he read it out loud.
"What if we're looking for something that isn't there? Maybe it's exactly what we see." he read.
We thought about it for a moment. "The world stopped?" I said.
"Not just world," North said, giving us a hard look. "All planets."
It got really quiet, as we realized that this could be true. Sandy took the paper and wrote on it some more.
"Should we get some rest?" it read.
"Nah, mate. I get the feeling that we won't be getting decent sleep for a while.
A/N: Alright, this is really short. The next chapter will be more exciting though, I promise! Please review. Thanks for reading!
