Prologue

"My heart's a stereo~ It beats for you so listen close~" a singing voice was heard as a young teenage girl sat in a tree with her legs crossed. She was strumming a guitar in her hands while her large see-through butterfly wings gleamed in the sunlight peeking though the trees' leaves.

"Still singing your heart out I see," a voice says from a hole in the ground where a large bunny pokes his head out.

Girl rolled her baby blue eyes at the massive bunny, "I see you're still shooting out of holes. When are you going to start riding in cars like normal people?" she mocks him.

"Aye, I'm a bunny not a person," he retorts. "And you should stop using that tone with me Miss Spring," he scolds, an annoyed note in his voice.

"Oh, shut up Bunnymund. You know you can't tell me what to do, even though you're a Guardian," the girl replies as she stood up. "Besides, I can still sing better than you can when you're drunk on carrot juice," she giggled.

"I can't sing at all...so don't go there" the bunny growls and the girl just huffs as she flaps her wings, and flies into the air. "Oh hush it. At least-" she sees something creeping up from behind Bunnymund, and screams, "Look out!"

"What?" the bunny says and looks back and his eyes widen. Quickly, he jumps over the black sandy horse. "Pitch's nightmares...I thought we stopped him," he remarks and pulls out his boomerangs and throws it at the horse.

The girl flies into the air as more of the nightmare horses came galloping into the open. 'What on Earth is going on?!' she thinks in horror as she watches them circle around Bunnymund.

"Go away you bloody ankle bitters," the bunny warns quickly as he starts attempting to fend them off.

"Oh man," the girl says as she watches one nightmare horses kick Bunnymund straight in the back of the head, knocking him onto the ground.

The last thing Bunnymund sees are the black horses melt into a black wave and wash over him. Once the black dies away there is no one there...they had taken Bunnymund with them.

Girl's face paled in horror when she sees no one was there. "Oh god...oh god, oh god, oh god!" she cries out in terror as she bites her nails. "I have to warn the Guardians!" she says before flying away as fast as her wings could carry her, straight toward the North she flew.

A bit off in the distance, a tall, dark figure watches the girl from the shadows. Looking at his palm, a picture of Bunnymund slowly turns to ashes and is taken away by the wind. As the girl disappears from his sight, he slinks back into the shadows, already knowing where she was going. There is no need to follow.
