Author's Note: Hey, so this plot is going to take a little twist! I came up with an idea that I'm going use that isn't in the summary, involving Pitch having a daughter! That's the only hint you guys get, but continue to read and you will find out soon! XD enjoy chapter 4!

"Jack! Jack please wait! Come back!"

Jack felt a bit guilty for ignoring the brown-haired kid's pleas for him to not leave, especially since the kid could actually see him and every ounce of sanity he had was yelling at him to go back and find out why, or even just to comfort him. He couldn't risk it, though. He didn't want to meet up with the Tooth Fairy and Easter Bunny, and that would have happened if he stayed. Plus, he was just so confused; nothing made sense at the moment. Why had the boy been able to see him? Why had the boy told him that he was a Guardian and saved the world from the Boogieman? He had never done that, and he certainly wasn't a Guardian. On top of all of that, two Guardians were looking for him . . . okay, now the kid's weird story seemed to tie into everything else that was happening. What the heck was going on here!?

Jack became more and more frustrated as he tried to figure out what was going on and couldn't, and he noticed that as he became increasingly angry snow started to come down hard; he sighed, trying to get in control of his emotions. He didn't want to start a blizzard. Taking a deep breath, he managed to stem the snowfall to a light flurry that would only leave an inch or two, and then settled down in another tree, pulling his knees of to his chest and hugging them close to his body. His thoughts were so scrambled up that it was actually turning into another headache. Jack looked up at the sun-filled sky, and just wished that he could see the moon, and that maybe it had the answers he was seeking. The moon never talked to him, though, so even if it did have the answers, it probably wouldn't have told him them.

Jack sighed; in a matter of barely 2 days, his life had been turned upside down, and not for the better. He had to figure out what to with himself; he couldn't just keep running away from his problems, but yet he didn't want to face them; he didn't really see any other alternative right now though.

"Man in the Moon help me," Jack muttered a prayed under his breath. He was highly considering going back to get more information out of the kid when he saw a shadow dash across a snow covered yard and disappear into an ally. His interest piqued, Jack floated away from the tree and followed, holding his staff in a defensive position and feeling a strange sense of déjà vu.

Cautiously but curiously, he walks into the ally, on guard and ready to attack if needed. He inched forward when he heard a scuffling sound, trying to get a better look, and soon the silhouette of a person came into view as Jack's eyes adjusted to the darkness of the covered ally.

"Jack Frost, right? I've been told a lot about you," a female voice calls out, sounding sweet but with just a tinge of sadness to it as well, like it was a bad thing that she had heard so much about him.

"Who are you?" Jack asked. The only response he gets is silence. Slowly he moves forward more, trying to get a better look, when there is a tap on his shoulder. Startled, he turns around and finds himself face-to-face with a girl who looked to be a teenager his age when she became an immortal, since it was obvious to Jack that she was one. She had on a sleeveless, black dress that flared out below her waist and reached all the way to the ground. She had wavy black hair that went down to her mid-back, amber eyes, and wore a black skull bracelet on her right wrist. Her skin also had a greyish tint to it.

She smiled and held out her hand to him, probably to shake, and said, "Hi, I'm Shade."

"What am I gonna do!?" Jamie said out loud to no one in particular. He was the only one outside at this hour in the morning anyway. He was sitting down under the tree, a few tears rolling down his cheeks; he didn't even care that his pajama pants were getting soaked from sitting in the snow, or that he was kind of cold because of that.

"Jamie?" a surprised voice says all of a sudden from up above him. Jamie looked up, hoping to see Tooth floating over to him, but instead he saw his friend Pippa with her head sticking out of her window, looking down at him; he hadn't even realized this was Pippa's house since he had been so focused with Jack. When Jamie looked up at her, Pippa saw his tears, and immediately knew something was up; Jamie Bennett rarely cried. As quickly and quietly as she could, she put on her snow boots and ran outside in her pajamas, sitting down next to her friend in the snow.

"What's the matter, Jamie?"

"It's Jack! I don't know why, but he can't remember being a Guardian, or us! Something is really wrong Pippa; I think he was hurt. He had dry blood on his head, and I tried to get him to stay but he flew off and I don't know where he went!" Jamie said, letting out more tears even though he tried to stop them so he didn't look weak in front of his friend.

"Well, we have to tell the Guardians! How, though?" Pippa says, looking just as panicked as Jamie.

"Bunny and Tooth visited me yesterday and had mentioned that Jack had been gone for a few hours and they couldn't find him; they were looking to see if he had been with us, and I told them about the whole weird snow situation. They said they'd come back today to give me an update, but I don't know when, and this is serious!" Jamie rants.

"I guess we just have to wait," Pippa says dejectedly, and Jamie nods, still trying to be strong.

"I don't know, we just need to find him," North says, rubbing his temples. The Big Four had been discussing Jack for the entire night into the morning, trying to figure out what might be the matter and where they should look for him, and none of them had any good ideas.

"North, you and Sandy should take the sleigh and a snow globe and check Antarctica. Tooth and I will go back to Burgess and look for him there, and check up on Jamie; we told him we would." North and Sandy nod, heading to the sleigh, Bunny opens up a tunnel for him and Tooth. Bunny notices Tooth's worried expression, and puts a comforting paw on her shoulder.

"We're all worried Tooth, but we'll find Frostbite, alright?" he reassures.

Tooth offers him a little smile and nods. "I know Bunny, I just hope that he's okay," she responds, thinking about the puddle of blood that they had seen in the snow right before they saw Jack and he flew off.

"Me too," Bunny says, and the two of them disappear down the tunnel, heading straight to Burgess in hopes of finding the troublemaker before trouble found him.

Author's Note: Haha, a little late for that! I'll fit the BunnyxJack bromance in here somewhere, so don't worry the people who wanted to see that! And there shall be some romance between Jack and Shade eventually! Hope you liked this chappie! Review!
