Pitch now controlling Jack's body could mean danger for all of us. What scared me was how much Jack looked like the nightmare king. The guardians and I need to get our newest member back and we can't let Pitch leave with Jack's body. With Pitch controlling Jack's young body and powers, plus his own; this could spell trouble for everyone. This battle was going to be difficult for all of us (maybe not Bunny), because we all knew that it was our injured Jack just trapped in a nightmare.

"Jack please it's us, you need to wake up." Tooth pleaded with him.

"I told before; I'm Pitch Black." Pitch raised Jack's staff and before any of us could act, he froze one of Tooth's wings; she fell to the ground from the extra weight of her wing and was struggling to get up. Sandy was the next one up. He formed whips out of dream sand and began slash out at Pitch, but with Jack's speed on his side he dodged them easily.

Bunny and I ran up to Pitch and just as I was about knock him out; I couldn't do it. I knew Jack was still there. Bunny, however hit him right away knocking him across the room, but managed to get to his feet.

"I wouldn't be hitting me if you care about your friend." Pitch said as he stood up. "It's still Jack's injured body. Any damage done to me will really be put on Jack and he can feel pain even from the slightest touch." He raised the staff once more and slammed it to the ground only freezing our feet to ground. We couldn't get away allowing Pitch to get near us while Jack's staff was starting to spark.

"Any last words?" He raised his staff towards us, about to make a final attack. All of a sudden we here a loud 'CLANG' and Pitch dropped to the floor, revealing Sandy floating behind him with a large frying pan made out of dream sand. All of the ice that was summoned in the battle was now gone allowing everyone to move.

"Seriously mate, doesn't that seem a bit…cartoony?" Bunny asked him. He just shrugged with a question mark forming above his head.

"Look." Tooth pointed to Jack on the floor. His hair and skin was slowly turning white which had to mean that Pitch was gone, at least for now. We all sighed in relief.

"We need to get him back to the infirmary." Tooth picked him up and wasn't even struggling, almost as if she was lifting a feather. We all knew that Pitch has offered Jack to join him before; now we know that Jack is going to be on his side whether he wants to or not. Once we got Jack to the infirmary Sandy continued to pull any Nightmare sand out of him.

Walking to the lake in Burgess, I could feel cold, but this cold isn't snowballs and fun times; it felt like every single drop of fun and happiness slowly disappeared with each step I took. As the lake came into view everything around it slowly went black and it was like I was in this dark void and there was nothing there, but me and that lake. I felt like I was in a trance; like I needed to look at my reflection in the frozen lake. I got down on my knees, put my hands on the edge of the lake and looked down. What I saw scared me, but I didn't move because I still felt drawn to the lake. I didn't see my reflection; I saw Pitch.

When I looked down at my hands, they would be my hands, but when I put them over the ice, the reflection would show Pitch doing it. I heard someone call my name and snapped out of the trance. I stood up and turned around to see my little sister, Pippa. I was just about to say something when her appearances change. She had snow white hair, pale skin and blue eyes and all of a sudden she disappeared. I was about to run after her, but I could feel pain in the back of my head, like someone hit me very hard. I hit the floor, but then after a few minutes it got warm and comforting.

I opened my eyes slightly and can see four blurred around me.

"Sandy, do ya think it's goin' well?"

"Guys I think he's waking up."

After a couple more blinks, I could see the guardians around me with smiles on their faces and I could hear sighs of relief filled the room. I tried to sit up, but Tooth slowly pushed me back down.

"Jack no, you need to stay down."

"Guys, what happened?" I asked lying down. They all got these weird looks on their faces and began to tell me everything. From when Pitch brought me back to the work shop to the fight. I felt guilty and powerless that Pitch had taken over me, tried to hurt my new family and I didn't have any control over it.

"Guys I am so sor-"

"No frostbite. You have nothin' to be sorry for. It wasn't you, it was Pitch."

"I know, but I can't feel but helpless if Pitch can take over me when he wants."

"Don't worry Jack." North told me. "Sandy is going to take all of the nightmare sand out you, so that Pitch won't be able to take over you."

"M'kay." I mumbled. Sandy came up to me and started to pull any sand from me.

(One week later)

I hate not being able to do anything. I have been stuck in the infirmary for a week, and have been on I.C.U. due to certain reasons. Yetis have been guarding the doors to make sure I don't leave or incase if Pitch comes back. North says that today I can get out of bed today since Sandy says that he got rid of all of the nightmare sand and haven't seen a sign of Pitch. My injuries have been healed, since immortals heal faster and the fact that I refuse to stay down for a long time, mostly the second one, so I could move around easily.

"Hey North."

"Jack, how have you been? What are you planning to do today?" He greeted me.

"Much better. I haven't seen Tooth in a while and I'm sure that she would be happy to see me." I told him.

"Alright, but tell if anything out of the ordinary happens." He was still on me on about what happen with Pitch. I was a bit annoyed, but I also couldn't blame him.

"I will." I reassured him and flew out the window.

(Tooth's Pov)

I was so busy with my work I couldn't make any time to visit Jack. I felt guilty, but I'm sure that Jack understands. While I was working I could feel a slight coldness in the air that I knew that wasn't Jack's, but felt very similar; very playful.

"Excuse me. Are you the Tooth fairy?" I turned around to see a little girl, about eight years old, with white hair that ended between her shoulder and her elbows, blue eyes, pale skin, bare foot.

She wore a light grey drooping knit beret that allowed half of the top of her hair to be visible, dark blue skinny jeans, a light blue hoodie. She had a white cat that had light blue oval stitched eyes and nose, the inside of its ears were also light blue, at the bottom of its right paw and left leg were green patches and the other bottoms of the paw and leg were red, had a red ribbon around its neck along with a fancy bow and a round gold bell that made it look like a collar; it looked like old fashion stuffed toy, but it's arms were wrapped around her neck and it was moving towards her head like a monkey. She had a staff that was similar to Jack's (in structure and size), with light blue ribbon wrapped around it that made it look like a candy cane. Her clothing, cat and staff were covered in a light frost as well. This girl's appearance gave her away as a winter spirit, but she look more familiar to me than that.

"Yes I am. Can I help you?" I asked her.

"The moon told me that I could find out about my past here. He doesn't talk to me, so when he did I knew I had to take what he said." She explained.

"Yes of course. Let me get your memories." It didn't take me to long to find this girl's memories since there are many helping me.

"Okay here they are, just press the diamond and they'll start." I gave her the box; she sat down on the floor pressed the diamond, and stared into space.

As soon as I got to Tooth's palace I was greeted by Baby Tooth.

"Hey Baby tooth, can you take me to Tooth? I haven't seen her in a while." She nodded and led the way. As we got closer to where Tooth was, out of nowhere my staff started to glow light blue. I stopped and stared in awe at my staff; even though I wasn't paying much attention, Baby tooth was too. My staff glows fully when I want it to like when I need to attack, but this glow was different. I wondered if this had anything to do with Pitch. I decided to get out of there quickly, because if Pitch was going to take over he would do anything to those teeth again. Baby tooth decided to join me on my back to the pole. The further away I got the more my staff's glow started to fade, but I still needed to tell North.

(Tooth's POV)

The little girl snapped out of the trance after a few minutes; which means she didn't live that long which was rather sad, but wasn't really surprising due to how young she looked.

"I remember…I REMEMBER EVERYTHING! I even remember why the moon chose me." She seemed so happy to have her memories back, she twirled her staff like a piton and her laugh felt contagious, 'where have I heard that laugh?', but I didn't ask her one thing.

"I'm sorry I was so busy trying to help you that I didn't catch your name." She stopped and looked a little embarrassed as well.

"Right sorry, I'm-"She got cut off from her staff that started to glow light blue, that made the ribbon almost looked like it disappeared. We stared at her staff in awe then the staff faded back.

"What just happened?" I asked her.

"I don't know. It never did that before." She explained.

"Hmm…how about we go see North, I'm sure he might know something."I suggested.

"Okay." We both flew off, with her cat trying to hold on to its dear life to her, and I still haven't gotten her name.

"I still didn't catch your name."

"Right. I'm Pippa Frost and this is my cat, Snow."
