Toothina landed gently on the ground edging Jacks Lake, shivering in the cold wind. She looked around, not seeing Jack. Toothina circled the Lake, and heard a chirp. She looked up, and saw Baby Tooth, who she had brought along, flying in a circle above the middle of the lake. Toothina fluttered her wings, then lifted a good three to four feet into the air, and flew over to Baby Tooth.
"What is it, Baby Tooth?" Toothina looked around, and let Baby Tooth land on her shoulder, and chatter into her ear. Toothina leaned in, listening to Baby Tooth, and then gasped.
"He's beneath the what?!" Toothina started, then whipped around, and saw a familiar sleigh land on the ground on the edge of the lake. North jumped out, followed by Sandy, and lastly, Bunny, who was looking very green, and they all went over to Toothina.
"Did you find him?" North questioned, looking around Toothina.
"No, but Baby Tooth told me tha-"Toothina answered, only to be interrupted.
"Where is he then?" Bunny topped his foot on the ice.
"SHUT UP AND LISTEN." Toothina yelled, shocking the other guardians into silence. "Baby Tooth here," Toothina gestured to Baby Tooth who was fluttering over a clear patch of ice. "She told me that Jack is under the ice!" Toothina was about to continue, when she was interrupted again by a noise. She turned to Bunny to tell him of for interrupted her again, when she realized it wasn't coming from him.
Clunk.
Toothina looked down, and then gasped. Two hands were pressed against the ice, and between them was the face of Jack, pressed against the ice, looking up at them. Bunny pushed past her, and leaned down.
"Huh, Frostbite really seems to be in a bit of a pickle." Bunny rapped on the ice.
"Bunny! It iz not a time for Jokes!" North reprimanded the big bunny, who shrugged.
"Whatever. How do we plan to get him out?"
"We could break the ice?" Toothina suggested, and then heard Jack bang on the ice, and shake his head, obviously saying not to do that. Sandy made a question mark above his head, and Jack Pointed at the ice, then himself, and then shrugged, obviously not being able to explain.
""Maybe we could hunt down… the Dark Jack?" Bunny shrugged.
"Dark Jack?" North looked bemused.
"What? It's the best name I could think of." Bunny was cut off by the sound of Jack rapping on the ice, drawing their attention. The ice had frosted over, and Jack was drawing in the frost, a picture of his staff, and a question mark. Toothina frowned.
"Sorry Jack, he got it." Toothina watched as Jacks expression got grave. He drew a picture of the staff in two pieces, and a picture of him curled up on the ground.
"It'll hurt you if he breaks it?" Bunny tilted his head. Jack nodded, and then used his fingers to write out one single word
Hurry.
Jack then disappeared beneath the ice, which was frosting over quickly. The guardians glanced at each other, and then North ran over the lake towards his sleigh; Sandy created his Plane, and pulled the goggles over his head. Bunny ran and jumped into the sleigh with North, and gripped the sides, readying himself for the wild ride that was to come. After they all clambered into their rides, they realized Toothina was still in the center of the Lake, above Jacks patch of ice, Baby Tooth perched on her shoulder.
"Toothina, are you coming?" Bunny yelled across the Lake.
"I'll stay here and watch over Jack." Toothina shooed them away with her hands. "You guys try to track down the Dark Jack!"
"Okay, be careful." North then snapped the reins, and the reindeer bolted, pulling the sleigh of the ground, and they guardians disappeared into the distance. As they vanished into the clouds, Toothina sighed, and then petted the top of Baby Tooth's head.
"Guess we'll keep an eye on him, huh Baby Tooth?" Baby Tooth chirped in agreement, and Toothina turned back to Jack, only to stumble back in shock. The Dark Jack stood before her, admiring the staff. He looked up, and took a small step toward her.
"Why… Hello there, Tooth Fairy." He grinned, baring his teeth, which were as sharp as daggers.
"Why…Who are you?" Toothina drew Baby Tooth close, sheltering her with her hands.
"Oh... I'm many things, I have many names. But you can call me… Jokul." The spirit tilted his head, watching her with curiosity in his gaze. "You care very much for him, don't you?"
"What do you…?" Toothina blushed, and shrugged, looking back at Jack.
"Do you want him back?" The spirit gestured at the ice.
"Yes…?" Toothina edged closer to Jacks patch of ice.
"Here, have him back." The spirit brought his foot down, and the ice exploded. The spirit reached down, and grabbed Jacks hood, and lifted him up. Jack struggled weakly, hanging in Jokul's grasp, making noises of protest. Jokul then tossed him towards Toothina onto the ice. Jack slid on the smooth ice, and banged up against Toothina's legs. Toothina dropped to her knees, keeping one eye on Jokul, and gently picked up Jack, gathering him in her arms, drawing him close to her arms, releasing Baby Tooth from her grip. Baby Tooth flew up and fluttered around his head, chirping worriedly. Jacks eyes were slits, and he looked very exhausted. Toothina looked up at the spirit, then gently sent Jack down, and stood up, leaving Baby Tooth with Jack. Toothina took a brave step towards Jokul, leaving a few feet between them.
"Why did you give him to me?" Toothina gestured at Jack, who was lying limply on the ice, with Baby Tooth sitting in his hood, next to his neck.
"Oh… maybe I was just feeling nice." The spirit shrugged. "Is that banned?"
"Nice..? Aren't you like an evil spirit of something?" Toothina looked at the spirit curiously, watching as his face twisted, into a glare of rage. Why had that angered him..?
"Just take him before I decide to take it back." Jokul spat.
"What do you want from us?" Toothina knew that he wouldn't give something for free.
"Oh, well if you're offering… I would like to keep this staff. It has great power." The spirit examined the staff, which was now black and sharpened.
"Keep it! Just leave us. Please." Toothina knew that Jack would be devastated about his staff, but she couldn't just the spirit trap Jack again.
"Please, huh?" The spirit tilted his head.
"Please..." Toothina begged, gazing up at the Spirit, who was towering over her.
"I guess I could. But beware, I will be back!" The spirit then rose into the air, and flew off into the clouds, vanishing from sight. Toothina looked back to Jack, and ran back over to him, and gently picked up Baby Tooth.
"Baby Tooth, go find the guardians. Tell them to come back to Jacks Lake. Hurry!" Toothina then lifted her hand, and Baby Tooth launched out of it, heading back towards the Pole. Toothina looked down, knowing that her wings couldn't carry the weight of both Jack and her. She rested his head in her lap, and he murmured something sleepily. "Shh, Jack… Sleep now, you're safe. We'll get your staff back." Toothina stroked his hair gently, and watched as Jacks eyes closed, and he fell into a dreamless sleep. Toothina sighed, and settled back.
She hoped the Guardians and Baby Tooth would arrive soon.
