North, Tooth, Bunny, Sandy and I all get off of North's sleigh once we reach the villages of Corona.

All the houses' doors are closed as well as the windows. Usually, they're open. The people of Corona are very friendly people. They're always talking to eachother, interacting, just being neighborly. Now with all of the doors and windows closed, it doesn't even look like Corona.

North walks up to one of the houses and knocks on the door. The rest of us walk up behind him.

The door opens, just a crack. A man looks outside before opening it all the way. He walks outside and straight through North who let's out a surprised gasp. The man shrugs before going back inside, closing the door behind him.

"Well... that went well." Bunny says.

"Come on," North says, turning away from the house. "if we can find someone that believes we can find out what's going on." We all split up and start knocking on doors, hoping to find someone that believes.

Is it really that hard to believe in Jack Frost? I seriously thought that of any place in the world, Corona would have the most believers. After my eighth house, I still can't find anyone that believes.

"Hey guys!"

But Tooth does.

We all rush over to the house.

"Santa, it's such a pleasure to meet you!" Says the man frantically shaking North's hand. He turns his attention to Bunny. "Easter Bunny!"

"Uh, it's Bunnymund, thanks." Bunny corrects.

"Easter Bunny," I say, nudging Sandy next to me. Sandy smiles. He looks up at the man and waves. When he ignores him, Sandy walks up to him and waves to him again. He turns away to look at Tooth. "So you're all real?"

"Um... yes, I beleive so." Sandy stomps his foot in frustration. Seriously? I calmly walk up to him.

"Um... Hello? It's not exactly nice to ignore people." I say. He does the same to me as he did with Sandy. Wait a minute. I try to place a hand on his shoulder, but when my hand passes through, everything starts to make sense. I frown and drop my hand back to my side. I turn to Sandy and shrug.

"Sorry," Sandy just lets out a sigh.

"We need to ask you something." Tooth says.

"Well ask away!" he says. I don't think I've ever seen an adult as happy as him. Not that I ever see too many adults... moving on.

"We hear that the town has been having nightmares." Right after bunny said that, the man's bright smile dropped.

"Yeah, we have." He says.

"Do you know when it started?" North asks.

He nods. "A little less than a week ago."

"Anything else you can tell us?" Tooth asks him.

"It started with the kids." He says, "A few days later it spread to adults. The kids are extremely tired all day. It's insane. Parents are really worried, those that don't have the dreams. They're really worried for the kids. The adults getting the nightmares still sleep as they would any other day. They know they're just nightmares."

"Do you?" I ask him. He can't hear me, I know that. But he can hear Bunny.

"Do you?" Bunny asks for me. I'm not sure if its for me, or just stealing my question. But that doesn't matter right now. I can argue with him about it another time. But right now, right now there's more important things to worry about.

The man shakes his head. "It's happening to all the kids at the same time, and to a point where they can't sleep at night. This can't-this isn't something from the imagination. It's too much of a coincidence."

"Do you know what the dreams are about?" North asks. He nods.

"I get the same nightmare over and over again. My family... they leave me." His eyes start to water.

"What is your name?" Tooth asks, flying over to him.

"Jeremy." He replies to her, his eyes still watering.

"Okay. Well, tell me Jeremy," she says, putting on his shoulder. "what is your biggest fear?" she asks him.

"My biggest fear?" he repeats. We all nod, even though he can't see either me or Sandy. "That they all leave me." I can tell he's trying to figure out what is going on. He isn't an idiot. Although I doubt he will. He doesn't believe in the boogie man.

And no, this isn't one of those times where something is said won't happen then it suddenly does.

"I think we know that what we thought is true."

See? Didn't happen.

"Black." North says. I know he doesn't say anything else because if Jeremy knew the so called 'boogieman' is a part of this, it could cause unwanted attention that would just get in the way.

"Is there anything I should know..." Jeremy asks.

"No!" North exclaims. "Um, no. It's nothing. But you make sure that the kids stay inside. No one should be out in the village. Especially alone." Tooth nods.

"Is there anyone living alone?" she asks. Jeremy shakes is head.

"No one I know."

"Well make sure that's the case." Bunny tells him already leaving and hopping towards the sleigh. North walks out and I follow him. Sandy follows with Tooth behind.

"So the hunt for Pitch begins." I say.

"Alright, we need to split up. Sandy, you stay here. This town needs you most. Bunny, go west, Tooth, go south, and Jack, go east. I'll stay at the workshop. If you find Pitch, don't do anything, he can't know you're there. Come to the workshop and we'll deal with him together." North instructs.

It doesn't take long for us all to start our search.

Okay, very short chapter and very late! _ I'm so sorry! I've got this lack of inspiration and school just started and I'm just like . I'm working on Spirits now so if I finish that quickly I can start on the next chapter for this and hopefully (but I'm strongly doubting) I'll get it up a week from now (aka Friday or just next Friday whatever you want to call that...)

Please review guys! They make my day!
