"Pitch has the boy?" North asked him.

He sighed and curled his fingers around the staff. "If he went with Pitch... Tooth would be saved."

Tooth frowned, "And you just let him go?"

Jack shook his head, "He went with him. I couldn't stop him from going."

Bunnymund chuckled, "See I told you. I told you he couldn't be trusted, that he was a danger."

"He went with him because you guys made him feel like he had no worth. So maybe you should shut up." Jack shouted at him.

"Jack we didn't know..." North whispered approaching him like he was a hurt animal.

"You did know. You knew what you were doing and saying sorry won't make up for it. Now I am going to go find him, join me or don't I don't care." He replied flying up and leaving the Warren. The other Guardians exchanged looks. North shrugged as he went to follow, Tooth and Sandy following as well. Bunnymund was hesitant, he rolled his eyes and hopped after them.

Somewhere, under a bed, a hole opened up. Down that hole was a dark, a dark that made demons shake in fear. Down that hole was his lair, Pitch's lair. The only light that lit the lair was Nightlight's dim purple light. He sat on top of one of the cages, waiting for a command from Pitch. The Nightmare King was still weak, he could only appear as a shadow. He crept up from below, rising up to look inside the cage where the boy sat inside, smiling. "Why won't you give in? It didn't take much for little Nightlight to do it." Pitch asked slightly annoyed.

Raf grabbed his feet and rocked back and forth in the cage, "I have more will, I guess."

He snarled, The nightmares continued to fill inside the cage. Screaming at Raf. He bit his lips and looked directly at them as they screamed.

"You're useless."

"No one ever remembers you."

"Just give up, you're not even strong."

"Not even Frost will remember you by the end of today."

"They're not even looking for you."

"They can't remember you."

Raf laughed, "You guys are so stupid."

Pitch growled and made the nightmares hold back, "What do you mean?

He chuckled, "It's useless. I've already told myself all that stuff millions of times. Hearing it again won't make me freak out and break. You can't break what is already broken."

Pitch smiled, "Yes but I can still shatter it." The nightmares filled the cage again, as the boy yawned and looked them directly in the eye.

The Guardians flew above the city, Tooth, Sandy and Jack floating side by side while Bunnymund hopped from roof to roof and North rode in his sleigh. "We need to hurry. It won't be long until we start to forget." Jack pointed out.

"The last hole to his lair closed up when we trapped him down there, where can the new one be?" Tooth asked.

Jack bit his lips looking into windows and under beds, "I don't know but it has to be near by." It seemed to him that the other Guardians didn't seem to worry as much. Occasionally they would forget what they were doing. His heart was beating fast, he didn't want to lose this friend. Didn't want him to be outcasted. Again. He repeated the same thoughts in his head, 'Raf saved us with fire. Raf saved us with fire.' He tried to keep him visualized in his head, tried to remember his face but at times it would go blurry. They better be getting close.

"Keep eye out for nightmare. They can be going to Pitch's lair!" North shouted to the others.

Jack nodded and continued down, looking for any signs of darkness. The guardians stopped moving, all of them except for Bunny and Jack. "Oi! What are you doing?" Bunny shouted to the rest of them.

Tooth looked at them in confusion. She looked to her hands and mumbled, "I- I don't know."

Jack began to pant. They didn't remember. "We are looking for Raf. Remember?"

"Who?" North asked.

Bunny sighed and continued to run off. Jack turned and flew off to follow him. "What are you doing?" Jack shouted at him.

"Can't waste time, Frostbite. If they forgot then we're next. Gotta hurry." He replied.

Jack held his breath and nodded, flying lower to look in homes and dark alleys. Then, he saw one. A nightmare. "There!" He shouted flying towards the nightmare. Bunny followed behind. The other Guardians following him to see what was happening. Jack landed on the ground and ran towards the Nightmare. It saw him and ran off, going down a sewer drain. Jack stopped and lifted the top off. "This is it, this is the hole." He coughed.

"Well common then!" Bunnymund shouted jumping down the drain. Jack nodded and followed him down.
