~Hollow's Grave third person~

A hushed panic spread across the village of Hollow's Grave from the sight of Gilbert rushing to Madame Lussa's lair, not only that but a strange enlarged rabbit was hopping around with Sandy... the creatures of the village knew something was up when Madame Lussa sped out of her lair with Gilbert causing worried whispers to arise.

Gilbert felt the worried haze washing over the village but he could not concern himself with such matters at the moment as Rayne was in danger, not only did her burns look serious but she cried... The Halloween Queen never cries.

The two burst through the door shocking those within, Madame Lussa instantly tented to her Queen's wounds. Thankfully the burns were not as bad as they had first appeared; the blood had only masked most of the burnt area creating a gashed look, taking some bandages Rayne was carefully wrapped up.

Stepping back Madame Lussa waved her hands slowly and gracefully over her Queen as she began chanting words of healing, picking up her staff she began rattling the skull perked at the top over her Queen's fore head before a gentle glow illuminated Rayne's body, mind and spirit. This was a cleansing of the soul to strengthen her body into healing faster, the creatures of the village knew this spell well and knew it would not be complete in the eyes of the recently wounded would open.

Rayne should wake up at any moment so they all stood there awaking patently, in this time Gilbert had finally noticed what was so odd about the room... there was a huge rabbit stood in the middle of it, Gilbert had to double check... he knew Sandy was here but how could he miss the rabbit?! THE BIG FRIGGEN RABBIT!

Gilbert had gotten side tracked before but this was a new one for him, he glanced over to Jason seeing he wasn't all too bothered by the huge bunny... then again Jason being a skeleton he could hide emotions well and better than most, Madame Lussa suddenly stopped her chanting stealing back Gilbert's attention.

"Why've you stopped?" He panicked watching Madame Lussa take a few steps back, her head was darting from side to side as she looked over Rayne's body and placed her hand on Rayne's fore head. "Madame Lussa?" Gilbert called again earn a strict hush from the witch doctor.

"Her mind... troubled it is... she rejects my spell... not normal. How was she hurt?" Madame Lussa swiftly glanced back at Gilbert and Jason making them flinch; Madame Lussa wasn't a one to mess with and deserved respect above many others.

"L-light travel..." Stuttered out Jason, a crimson glow came from behind Madame Lussa's skull mask as she marched over to Jason causing him to stubble backward in fear. "Please, I don't want to be your next conjuring staff." He pleaded feeling her staff bonk his head, her staffs were always made of bones from old deceased animals, they brought wisdom she said.

"You think my Queen cruel enough to allow that?! No!" Lussa scolded. "I see very well the light burn her skin but her mind, her mind and spirit are cut!" Her strong South African voice panicked. "Yes... her spirit and mind are at war, why?" She suddenly demanded.

"Sandy you don't suppose it was our fault do ya mate?" Bunny whispered to Sandy hearing the words of the witch doctor, he already felt guilty as it was after what had happened back at The Pole.

"Your fault?! I hear you admit?!" Lussa sped over to the Bunny pointing her boned staff at him taking the bunny completely by surprise.

"What? No no you've got it all wrong." Bunny tried to explain as all eyes shifted to him, even Sandy was looking at him wondering how he was going to handle Madame Lussa.

"So you lie?" Madame Lussa accused.

"No!" Bunny reported annoying the witch doctor.

"I don't follow... it not your fault yet I feel lies! Who be you anyway?! What are you? Bunny? No... much too big for bunny, kangaroo perhaps? But where is pouch?" Lussa rambled.

"I'm not a bloody kangaroo!" Bunny suddenly snapped taking back Madame Lussa, regaining his composure Bunny lowered himself apologetically. "I'm a bunny... The Easter Bunny."

"Don't yell at me ever." With a frown Lussa bops Bunny on the head with her staff, his ears lowered all the more as her gaze shifted to the ground. "You wish to tell me something? Well, speak up." The witch doctor requested.

Before Bunny could answer a small huffed growl was heard from behind them all, Lussa turned swiftly to find her Queen's protector had shifted to his more human form. For some reason this brought a smile to all their faces that knew him, Fluffy might be a cub in his wolf form but he was fully grown man when he chose to take on his human appearance.

A white skinned wolf rested over the back over his back with the head of the wolf being worn like a hood, the nose shaded his face well as you could only make out the ember eyes that hid beneath. His skin was rough and tanned with the additional clean scar here and there; from what you could see of his face his hair was naturally brown by his beard.

"I think I know what the Rabbit is trying to say." His husky voice claimed as his fingers stroked against Rayne's hair softly, his eyes filled with worry but an admiration as he watch his queen. "It was that boy wasn't? The one with white hair." Bunny's posture stiffened giving Fluffy the answer he was looking for.

"What boy?" Lussa interrupted whatever was going on with the Bunny and Fluffy, though she got no answer from either of them. Fluffy walked to the witch doctor bending down slight to be at her head height placing his huge hands on each of her shoulders.

"I will inform soon Madame Lussa but for now we need Rayne safe, I feel danger. Pitch has sensed her fears and is on his way with his nightmares, we need everyone on high alert." He looked at everyone as they all nodded heading for the door. "No you stay here." He ordered Madame Lussa. "I need you to bring her out of this. You, Bunny come with me." Lussa shockingly took no offence to his orders as Bunny followed him out the home.

"What's this about mate?" Bunny asked seeing all the creatures ruffled up and on edge, all placed themselves in a fighting stance as some potted around this globe much like the one North had. Only difference was this one had very little lights on it, seeing Fluffy walk towards it he hopped not far behind him.

"You think Pitch is welcome here?" Fluffy challenged Bunny as he looked over the globe with intense eyes.

"Well before now we thought-" Bunny was stopped with a blade to his throat, Fluffy glared at him in burning rage.

"How dare you!" He spat at the rabbit. "Pitch is as much our enemy as he is yours! What's your game rabbit? You a spy? The Guardians don't trust us so they sent you?" He interrogated the Rabbit.

"But Sandy's here too!" Bunny defended.

"Sandy has a right! You've done nothing good by Rayne! NOTHING! She tried everything to get the kids to believe in you when we were alive, even after I asked her not to and you never came to prove her right! You don't even remember her... Why did you come back with Sandy?" Fluffy pulled back his blade looking at a very stunned rabbit, Bunny let out a nervous sigh as he held up a ribbon he had in his paw.

"She... she dropped this... and you're wrong mate." Bunny confirmed but hopped back from the look of rage on Fluffy's face. "I do... I do remember her mate, I didn't at first but believe me I do remember her. Rayne Bennett." Hearing the name Fluffy calmed instantly and allowed his glance to shift to the globe before them.

"You didn't remember her before?" Fluffy questioned making Bunnies ears perk up thankful there was less rage felt in the wolf man.

"No mate... rumours have a bad habit of deceiving you..." Bunny regrettably admitted, Fluffy saw the look on his face... he knew that look well. It was the look he held on his own face often in the reminder of his own memories. "You knew Rayne in her past life?" Bunny now questioned, he had only knew Rayne up until she was 10.

"Yeh... you could say we knew each other well." A depressed tint grew on Fluffy's tone at the reminder of his own past.

"Oh?" Bunny urged him to continue, Fluffy rubbed the back of his neck nervous on the information he was about to let the rabbit into.

"I'm her ex fiancé..." He admitted, he didn't know how much the Bunny knew of Rayne but as far as Rayne had told him she hadn't seen the rabbit since she was ten... he damned himself for every time he called her crazy when she spoke of the Easter Bunny.

"Fiancé? Wow who knew that little ankle bitter would get married." Bunny beamed with joy before he ran the over the words once again. "Wait... Ex?" Bunny frowned as the wolf man seemed to back away.

"She died before we could be wed." His head lowered even more with thoughts of the past flashing before him, he looked at them in disgust of that night. Seeing the rabbits questioned expression he continued before the dreaded question could be asked. "I killed her."

A deadly silence leaked between them before a sudden burst of rage lit from Bunny.

"YOU WHAT?!" He yelled before a sudden line of lights flashed up making Fluffy run around the creatures with a great speed commanding them of the next plan of attack.

"KEEP A SHARP EYE! LEAVE NONE OF THEM STANDING!" He commanded as gust of black sand bellowed from the sky, dark horses rushed and crashed against one another to get close the Hollow's Grave.

The Creatures of the night stood firm with the moon's ray of light shining better than ever seen before, each being touched by the moon the creatures began to glow much like the Halloween Queen did.

An out raged powerful roar shakes the ground whist the creature jump up into the air with weapons held tight, they hurdled towards the shadowed horses leaving breath taking shards and strands of light where they were once stood.

~North pole – third person.~

North had went off to check on how his place was holding up after Halloween's little tantrum, It had really angered Jack the way she treated them like we were the enemy... makes him believe all the more she works with Pitch, looking over to Tooth she didn't seem right.

"Are you ok?" Jack questioned with a worried tone to his voice.

"Just worried about Bunny and Sandy." She confessed fluttering around aimlessly. Jack couldn't see why she was so worried, Bunny and Sandy could take care of themselves but he had a feeling it was something deeper than that.

"Is Hollow's Grave really that bad?" He gulped, he knew the question was a testy one but he couldn't get it out of his mind, part of him seemed to want to go there... like he needed to be there but he refused the feelings.

"Yes... it is. When Halloween started scaring the children they got candy as a reward for scaring her away, that candy rotted their teeth and made painful memories to children... I was sick of doing nothing so I went there with my fairies to take her on and bring her down on hallo's eve... little did I know she had the place guarded with werewolves and everything... it was terrifying..." Tooth stutter holding herself in comfort.

"Did they... attack you?" Jack moved closer to Tooth trying to comfort her but Jack couldn't hide the rage boiling inside of him.

"No..." Tooth seemed to look in a daze as though thinking about something.

~Flash back Tooth first person.~

I glanced down at the village that was said to be the home of Halloween, not much of a home I tell you. It was a rundown village with walls falling apart and moss creeping around old cracks of abandoned houses, frowning I clenched my fists. This is the feared Hollow's Grave? What a joke.

"Wings up ladies." I called to my fairies before we swooped down at great speed, we found ourselves in the center of this broken village with no soul to stop us... I began to wonder if we had the right.

Sudden growls screamed from all around us as light filled orbs burst into fully grown werewolves, terrified cries from my fairies rang loudly in my head as we were all scattered apart trying to avoid the sharp claws that threatened us. Using my speed I angled my wings perfectly cutting the side of a grey werewolf.

Hearing the giant beast yelp in pain I could not help looking back to see the damage, normally I won't take pride in hurting another but this was an ally of Pitch... I cared not for their pain and was glad they're in pain for all those children that painful memories.

Taking that as it was I suddenly felt myself being slammed from my flight and scrapped across the floor, it took a moment for my sight to regain its self. Looking up I saw what had knocked me flying... a blue werewolf twice the size of the others, a large growl bellowed from it as I moved back.

It's claw raised high and aimed for attack, my eyes snapped shut.

"STOP! What are you all doing?!" A female voice yelled angrily, I opened my eyes looking up for the voice. There it was, a female figure in the sky. Her eyes glared at the werewolves making them cower and back away allowing my little fairies to find me again.

The woman floated down hovering protectively before me. "She's the Tooth fairy, the guardian of memories. Not our enemy." I was needless to say shocked by her words, who was she anyway? The woman turned showing more of her features, she extended her arm to me offering her hand.

"A Queen should not be treated like this and this is not the way in which Queens act, I'm the Halloween Queen. I hope you're not hurt." My eyes widened, I couldn't believe what I was hearing or seeing... I'd just been saved by the Halloween Queen. Her eyes looked so sincerer and true I had to take her hand.

~End flash back~

"Thankfully Halloween stopped them saying I was a Guardian... in a way she saved me back then and now..." Tooth cut off lost in her thoughts of Halloween crying, she didn't think Halloween was human before becoming who she is today... maybe Tooth even had her teeth and never knew it.

Jack stood there unable to make sense on what was going on with everyone; in the end all he could really do was pull Tooth into a reassuring hug to at least try to make her feel better.

"She knew you Jack... but..." Tooth began, though she too couldn't find the words to say. Jack just smiled and pulled away from the hug.

"Let's go see how North is." Jack and Tooth wondered around the work shop looking for North but he wasn't anywhere to be found, nor was his yetis and elves.

"North?" Jack called out with no answer.
