…

It felt like hours before the Guardians final opened their eyes to find themselves in the town of Burgess, in Sophie Bennett's empty room.

North blinked confusingly. "What in the world are we doing here?"

Sandy shrugged and made a question mark with golden dream sand above his head.

"Yeah, you said it Sandy." Bunny agreed.

Tooth sat up and groaned, rubbing her eyes. "Why did MiM send us here? There must be a reason. He wouldn't teleport us here unless it was important."

"We don't know Tooth; I guess we'll have to find out by ourselves." North said.

Sandy looked around with a frown and made a picture of Jack and a question mark.

Tooth's eyes widen. "Oh my Gods! Sandy's right! Where's Jack?! He should be here with us!"

Bunny frowned thoughtfully. "Hey, if this is Sophie's house, then shouldn't Jamie be here? Maybe he'll know where Snowflake is."

Tooth's worry vanished a little and she grinned at him. " Of course Bunny! That's a great idea! I'll go see in his room!"

Before anyone could say another word, she zoomed out of the room and a door could be heard squeaking open.

The Guardians could hear her muffled voice. "Jamie? Are you there? It's Tooth!"

They heard a disappointed sigh and Tooth fluttered in the room again with a scowl. "He isn't there."

Bunny huffed. "So we've heard."

"Hey guys!" North said, looking out of the open bedroom window. "There's Jack, here he comes!"

The others scrambled to the window and sure enough, when they looked, a flying figure with white hair was coming their way, except there was a flurry of blond hair just below his head.

"What's he carrying?" Tooth asked.

" Well then let's ask him." Bunny said, then cupped his hands around his mouth and yelled. "Hey Frostbite! Over here!"

Jack gave no hint that he hear Bunny, he just kept getting slowly closer.

"Hey Snowcone!" Bunny tried again, this time a little louder. "Are you deaf or what? I'm talking to you!"

Nothing.

The Pooka's arms fell to his side and he sighed. "Either he's completely deaf or he's making fun of me."

Tooth squinted her eyes. "Wait guys, is that… Sophie?"

"What?" North exclaimed.

They waited for a few seconds for Jack to come closer and they saw that Tooth was right, in the spirit's arms, there was Sophie, fast asleep.

Bunny frowned. "What's he doing with the little ankle-biter?" The Pooka had become very close to the blond headed girl after their battle with Pitch and felt a bit protective when he heard that she was in a pair of freezing arms.

What if he drops her or gives her a cold? If he ever does that, I swear I'll… Bunny shook his head and sighed sadly. Manny's right. We don't show enough trust towards Snowflake. Of course he wouldn't let Sophie fall, that would be absurd. He's shown enough proof that he is worthy of being a Guardian, he definitely earned our trust, then why don't we still doubt his loyalty?

"So that's why he's so slow! He doesn't want to drop her!" Tooth remarked. " It kinda confused me since he usually would've arrived here five minutes ago. He's so fast when he wants to…"

After a few seconds in silence, Jack was only a few yards from the window when Bunny spoke again: Ok, look here Frostbite, I have no idea why you're carrying Sophie or why you're ignoring m-"

His voice died down when Jack flew in the window and through him, like he was invisible.

The Guardians gasped in horror and Bunny stumbled back in shock. "He…he doesn't… believe…"

"No wait Bunny!" Tooth said before Bunny jumped to conclusions. "Did you see the way your chest turned faintly golden when Jack flew through you? Don't you all see? We're in a memory!"

The other legends' eyes widen in understanding and Bunny gave a sigh of relief faint enough so that no one heard him.

"The Jack-was-gone-for-a-long-time-and-we-thought-he-betrayed-us-to-pitch memory to be exact, judging by the fact that Jack is carrying Sophie." Tooth said sadly. "Oh why didn't I see it before!?"

Sandy listened the conversation in interest and turned his attention to the memory. This was the perfect opportunity to see what his fellow Guardians had been hiding from him. It had to be something they were really ashamed or angry of doing if none of them even wanted to talk about it with him.

It was just then that they saw someone else with Jack.

"Baby Tooth!" Tooth exclaimed. "What is she doing here?"

"Didn't she leave with Jack when he carried Sophie to her home?" North said.

Tooth nodded when she remembered that Baby Tooth did, in fact, leave with Jack.

They watched as Jack tried, and failed, multiple times to pull Sophie away from him but the girl simply held on tighter.

Bunny snorted in laughter.

Finally, the spirit freed himself from her grip and laid her down on the bed. He sighed in relief and turned to fly out of the window.

The Guardians saw Sophie starting to slip out of the bed before Jack did. The young Guardian winced as he heard a dull thud behind him and he turned to see Sophie on the ground. Incredibly, she was still asleep.

He was about to pick her up to put her back on her bed but then he heard a woman's voice saying: Soph? Is that you?

Jack froze half way and hastily picked up Sophie's blanket and dropped it on her, he also dumped a small toy besides her for good measure.

Then, he picked up his staff and leaped out of the window, letting the wind catch him and carry him away.

The Guardians were gone with a white flash and then found themselves following Jack in the sky, floating in the wind like him.

"Crikey!" Bunny exclaimed. "Is that how the boy feels when he flies? The wind is flipping cold!" He wrapped his arms around his furry belly and shivered.

Sandy made an image of Bunny trying not to be sick on North's sleigh then a question mark and a X mark on the first image.

"Sandy' got a good question Bunny. Why don't you like my sleigh but you don't feel queasy when you're floating in the wind? With no floor under your feet! At least my sleigh has one! It doesn't make any sense!" North sounded hurt.

Bunny shrugged. " Oh I dunno mate, maybe because it's more gentle!" He emphasized the last word to make North understand.

The Russian huffed in annoyance and crossed his arms.

Then they heard a little girl's voice: "Jack!"

The winter spirit stopped in his tracks and looked around for the source of the voice. "That voice… I know that voice…" He muttered to himself.

"Jack!" It said again.

Jack frowned and flew quickly in the direction of the little girl's voice.

"Oh that curiosity of his…" North shook his head fondly.

The Guardians had to struggle to keep up with him since he moved so fast.

They finally stopped at the middle of the Burgess woods, in front of an old, broken bed.

Jack advanced slowly and cautiously, his staff ready to shoot ice at anything dangerous.

Baby Tooth squeaked nervously and tried to pull Jack away by tugging at his hood.

Jack waved at her distractingly, not taking his eyes off the bed. "Don't worry, there's still time."

The small fairy sighed in frustration and followed the spirit to the old bed.

"Oh I have a bad feeling about this…" Bunny said unhappily.

They looked through the bars of the bed frame and Jack broke it enough for him to slip through.

He looked at the hole uncertainly then heard the girl call him again and then, with a determined expression, he jumped in the tunnel, the Guardians and Baby Tooth right behind him.
