"Back to business." Bunnymund tried to change the subject.

North wasn't paying attention, he was pouting. Bunny sighed at the sight and asked,

"What's up with you?"

Tooth giggled, "I think he's just upset that Jack told Sandy and not him about it."

North stopped pouting and defended, "I'm not." They could all tell otherwise though.

"So what do we think it could be?" Bunny said trying to change the subject. It wasn't that he didn't care. It was just that he thought they shouldn't get worried about it when it was minor

Maybe it could be...you know." They knew what Bunny meant and it wasn't about Pitch.

North shook his head and replied, "We haven't seen them since the Golden Age."

"It does make sense though, but how?" Tooth thought aloud.

The discussion continued, but they didn't notice a presence watching ready to attack at any moment.


Jack was lying on his back on his bed staring at the ceiling. He thought the worst was over. The silence helped with his headache and after a few minutes it completely disappeared.

Suddenly a gust of wind blew open his window. The wind blew around Jack. He felt like it was trying to warn him,

"About what?" He asked aloud.

Without warning he heard a crashing and yelling coming from outside of his room. He shot up and grabbed his staff running out of his room. When he got to the globe room he saw the windows were shattered and broken glass was scattered across the ground.

Jack mainly saw that dark figures were around leaping in the shadows attacking the guardians and the yetis.

They looked like nightmares, but they were solid. They weren't made out of nightmare sand and had glowing yellow eyes. The yetis looked like they were blindly attacking the air. The guardians defended themselves as they would leap from the shadows. They were jumping around very fast that they were slightly blurred.

Jack ducked as one flew at him. He quickly shot at it after he ducked, freezing it. When he looked back he saw that Tooth was about to be hit from behind. Sandy managed to pull it away from her with his golden whip just in time.

North defended himself with his twin swords and Bunny threw his boomerang saving North from the shadow.

Jack saw that they were everywhere. There were too many. Jack froze when he saw the eyes. He couldn't move or speak. He could feel something familiar but he didn't know what.

Jack used all his strength and shook his head, there was no time for that. Even though the feeling didn't disappear Jack got a hold of himself. He had to try and minimize the numbers. No one seemed to notice him yet, which gave Jack the perfect advantage.

Jack slammed his staff on the ground yelling, "Hey!"

Frost covered the ground and cold wind blew around as blue bolts shot out everywhere, hitting some of the strange creatures.

It summoned the attention of everyone and thing. Suddenly they all formed together and surrounded Jack.

"Jack look out!" North shouted. Jack flew up and they started chasing him.

Bunny threw a couple of egg bombs at it, but it was unaffected.

Sandy tried to cage it in dreamsand. It broke out of it effortlessly.

They tried to help Jack but suddenly a wall appeared and the dark texture turned into spikes forcing the guardians to get back. Jack was away from the others and was at the moment a target.

They eventually caught up to Jack and the dark created a vortex around him..

"Jack!" North called out as Sandy got rid of the spikes allowing them to break through the wall.

The darkness surrounding Jack began to try and condense him in. The oxygen around him got thinner and thinner. He had to do something and fast. He slammed down his staff.

The guardians just broke through the wall to see the vortex when they saw a blue light shine through the enemy and the blue light exploded sending the enemy all over the place. It also began snowing in the workshop.

They saw Jack was unharmed, his eyes were searching for the creatures that looked like nightmares. But they disappeared in the shadows. The guardians noticed as well.

The guardians went over to Jack as he began to smirk at them, "I leave you guys alone for five minutes and you get attacked."

"Jack you...You could see them?" Tooth asked.

Jack was confused but slowly replied, "Uhhh...yeah. Why wouldn't I?"

None of them replied. North looked around at the scattered glass and the yetis were looking around wondering if the enemy had left.

"They are now gone. Get this place cleaned." North ordered. Jack wasn't given an answer yet.

"Everyone, my office." North announced.

The silence put Jack a bit on edge. "This can't be good." Jack muttered under his breath.


The darkness that attacked the guardians returned to the shadows from where they came from.

"The guardians are the same as always." A voice hissed.

"Yes they always get in the way."

"But the boy. He can see us."

"And his power it must be tested again. When he is completely alone."

"We haven't even began to scratch the surface of the boy's power."


As soon as they got into North's workshop room chatter began almost immediately.

"Since when did they come back?" Tooth frantically asked.

"I can't believe I was right. I didn't want to be." Bunny muttered.

Sandy had constant images popping over his head.

"Maybe it is because Pitch is gone." North suggested.

"Guys."

"Then wouldn't they have come back after we defeated Pitch the first time?" Bunny asked.

"Hello!"

They looked down at Sandy who was waving them down. North translated out loud for him, "Sandy says that his dreamsand doesn't effect them like it used too."

"That's not good at all. Are they adapting or something?" Tooth asked.

"Hey guys!"

"Well they've been gone for a long time. It's possible, I just hope it's not true."

Jack had no idea what they were on about and didn't seem to hear him. He was frowning as well.

Suddenly he hit the floor like a sack of potatoes.

Only then the guardians payed attention.

Tooth called out to him, "Jack!"

Jack immediately jumped back up, "So I practically yell in your ear and you don't notice, but when I pass out that's a different story."

"That's not funny Jack." Tooth said.

"It wasn't meant to be. Now will someone please tell me what's going on?"

All eyes were on Jack when Bunnymund said, "Well we got a little mystery here."

"What?" Jack asked.

"Jack you could see those things, no?" North asked.

"Yes. Why?"

The guardians all looked at each other.

"Jack those things. They are the original fearlings. The ones we fought before Pitch existed." Tooth began.

"We managed to capture and lock them up, it was a time of peace. That was known as the Golden Age. But Pitch freed them and they fused with him. Then the Dark Ages came. "

Bunnymund continued from that, "Pitch managed to command the originals. We managed to defeat him, if you ask me it was sheer luck. When he finally came back the fearlings were made out of nightmare sand. But now it seems the original fearlings are back."

"Nice story, but what has that got to do with me seeing them?" Jack asked.

"Jack these fearlings are just like the ones you've faced before but they have special abilities. One is becoming invisible. But if you've gazed directly into the eyes of a visible one you will be able to see them regardless. We can see them because we have fought them before." North stated.

Bunnymund added, "But our question is, how can you?"

Jack despite the seriousness just casually shrugged and replied, "Well what makes you think that they were invisible today? Maybe they were just visible."

Sandy used dreamsand to make a yeti swinging around blindly. In other words he said that they were invisible to the yetis.

"Well I have no idea when that could have hap..." Jack thought about it. His eyes would have been open when he was in the woods in Burgess seeing the memory, but he knew deep down that he saw them before and it wasn't in the woods.

"Those eyes I've seen them before." Jack mumbled. He scanned all the memories he had and nothing popped up. They were different from the eyes Pitch's fearlings. The originals when he looked at them, he felt a feeling build up in him. Jack knew what the feeling was.

"Jack?" Tooth asked.

"I've seen it before." Jack said aloud on accident.

"You saw it and didn't tell us?" Bunny grumbled.

"It's more of a hunch."

"A hunch?" Bunny asked.

"Okay we should just get over that now. Isn't seeing them a good thing? It means I won't be vulnerable."

They let Jack have this one, but still it concerned them.

"We must find where they are hiding before night."

"That's not a lot of time." Tooth muttered.

"Let me guess. Their powers double when it's dark." Jack guessed.

"Triple, actually." Bunny replied.

"Where do we start?" Jack asked.

"Maybe you should stay here for now Jack." North suggested.

Jack sighed knowing where they wanted to look first, "North I'll be fine in Burgess. I'll meet you there."

Before anyone could stop him. Jack walked out of the door and flew out of a window.

"I'll fly with him. I'll meet you guys there." Tooth said before zooming after Jack.

"He's stubborn." Bunny muttered. Sandy smiled and nodded.

His face turned serious in a matter of seconds, "North he can see them. He sure is full of surprises. If he doesn't know where he's seen them before then he would have seen it before he was chosen."

"That's what worries me."


The originals what are they capable of? Don't worry you'll find out.

There's definitely going to have more action in the next chapter. Next stop Burgess. And what I have in store for Jack...hehe.
