IMPORTANT: Right, I know most of you know this, but I can't stress at how important this is. This story will preview events from the film, but some will be altered to match this particular fiction. It's not very often I do this, but I wanted to try something different. This chapter will show that. I've changed a tiny detail before in previous stories and I get reviews telling me about how it's wrong or that I misinterpreted it. It's my story, so it's going to be different. Thank you and enjoy.


Watching the child unravel under a simple touch amused me. Reaching into her dream and twisting it into a horrifying nightmare with the ease of lifting a finger. It was time to let the Guardians know that I was back and ready to face them again. I was fed up with being repressed, I was surprised that they'd kept it up this long. Exiting the child's room I slip through the shadows and into the steet, already feeling the accusing eyes of an onlooker.

"Don't look at me like that old friend," I begin, stepping from the shadows and looking up to the moon, "you must've known this day would come. My Nightamres are finally ready, are you Guardians?" I grin, fearlessly. I watch as a couple of nightmares streak past the moon. It's then the my vision is caught by a hooded teen skating along a telephone wire. It might've only been fifteen years since our previous encounter, but I had pushed all thoughts about Jack Frost to the back of my mind, almost forgetting about him. Only remembering him self-consciously. I'm not prepared to allow those thoughts to be awakened again after so long. A darkened figure dashes past him, grabbing his attention and causing his pursuit. I have no idea what it was. A nightmare or something completely different. A Nightmare will have no trouble escaping his grasp and I'm sure he's capable of handling anything else. He was the least of my worries now a days. So why do I have a pulling urge to follow him. In a sigh if irritation, I slip through the shadows, keeping him in my sight, but at a distance so not to be noticed. He comes to a stop in an alleyway, prepared for anything thrown at him. A trash can is knocked to its side from his right and he swivels to look for the source of the noise.

"G'day mate." The figure of a pooka greets, swirling his boomerang expertly in his hand. A Guardian? I can already work out what's happening, it's easy to piece that pieces together. Tsar Lunar obviously thinks that the present Guardians won't be able to handle me on their own, so they're recruiting. I stumble back slightly in pain, slipping into the shadows and onto a roof. I scowl up at the moon.

"The only relationship I had was destroyed by you and now you're using that to your advantage?! You saved him and I thought it was for my sake, for a repay of all the things I did for you. It was pretty shit that he couldn't remember me, but at least I could see him. But, you didn't revive him for me. You brought him back to use him?! To use his power! You knew all this would happen and you want him to be the one to kill me! You're lucky you're up there and not down here because I swear to god!" I fume, letting off steam and cutting myself off abruptly. Breathing a pained sigh, I exit through the shadows, he isn't worth my time. If he wanted to use Jack to get me, then I'll have to get to Jack first. Following the rules wasn't really the teens thing, so there's no doubt he'll decline the offer, especially that the Guardians ignored him for so many years. He would be easy to twist, but better yet, I can get into the tooth palace. Getting his memories will be simple.


I watch as the Nightmare riddle the Tooth Palace, swiping every tooth box and baby tooth they can. The original plan aligns well with the new plan, but I didn't expect the fairies to put up such a fight. It would've been nice to look for Jack's memories first, meaning I could return them sooner, but this way works to. When everything is collected, the Nightmares scatter, exiting through openings and heading back to the lair. Quickly after, however, sudden pain strikes me as a handful are destroyed... the Guardians are here. I watch from the shadows as the sleigh enters, North thrusting the reins into other hands, pulling out his weapons. Breathe is caught in my throat as I realise who it is that's been handed the reins.

"Jack?" I breathe, confused at why he allowed the Guardians to subdue him so easily. No matter, I have his memories and very persuasive methods. I hear the sudden crash of the sleigh as it hits the ground, crash landing, and panic creeps up on me, worried for the teen. But why should I care now? He was helping the Guardians! Yet I can't help but continue to love him. Enough hiding, it's time to make myself known and to do something about Jack.

"I have to say, this is very very exciting," I begin, throwing my voice around the room to plant my fear within the Guardians, "The big four, all in one place." I stifle my laughter as they all look around, fear stricken, awaiting an attack, "I'm a little star struck." I peering over a ledge above them, grinning down maliciously.

"Did you like my show on the globe North, got you all together, didn't I?" I remind, smirking in triumph as North has a small tantrum.

"Pitch-!" Tooth begins, clenching her fists and preparing to dive for me. I smirk down at her and casually begin to walk away, when Jack interrupts her.

"Pitch, what are you doing?" He calls to me. I stop and look down at him, in slight disbelief.

"Jack, don't." Bunny warns, glaring at me.

"No rabbit, let the boy speak," I grin, warning him off slightly, "tell me Jack, why have you all become so chummy?" I finish.

"You're not normally like this, what's gotten into you?" He questions, pure worry lacing his emotions.

"Wait, you know this guy?!" Bunny questions, clearly under the impression we had never met.

"He watched over me for some years and then abandoned me for fifteen of them." Jack replies, looking to me accusingly.

"I abandoned you? Look who you're standing with Jack. And we knew each other a lot longer than you think, long enough, that I know who you were before you were 'chosen'." I reply, defending myself and hating the thought he thinks I left him. I watch my words strike a nerve. All he wanted at the moment was to fin out who he used to be. And I was the one that knew the answers.

"Don't listen to him Jack, he's trying to get into your head." Tooth orders. I can't help but scoff at her comment.

"That's right Jack, don't listen to me," I begin, slipping through the shadows to the bottom floor where he alone is standing, "Listen to your head. What are your instincts telling you?" I question, closing the gap between us and placing my thumb and index finger on his chin, pushing his head slightly to look me in the eyes. I watch his eyes scan my face and the constant calling from the Guardians filling my ears. They're most likely running toward us, to separate me from him.

"If you want your memories, you know where to find me." I whisper, leaning into him slightly so he can hear me. The rushed footsteps of the Guardians get closer as I slip into the shadows, out f their grasp and fairly certain that it won't be long before Jack will be able to steal some moments of my time.
