Sorry this Chapters short the next one will be longer I promise. Please read and review, thank you.

Sandy, Jack and Ebony walked back into the globe room where North, Bunny and Tooth waited for them. They didn't talk. North made one of his portals and they all walked through. Once they arrived they made a plan and split into three pairs, they were all going to meet up at Jamie's house after various tasks had been completed. Jack and Ebony where going to look around Burgess and see if she could recognise anything or anyone. Tooth and Bunny were going over to Jamie's house to check up on Jamie and his family, even if Bunny didn't say it they all knew that he was excited to see Sophie, his little ankle biter. North and Sandy decided to go patrol the town streets to make sure there was no sign of Pitch or his nightmares.

Jack and Ebony walked to the Orphanage apartments that she apparently used to live in. It was a large three story building with a stone wall around the outskirts either to keep the children in the grounds or keeping others out. There was nobody playing outside in the snow like Ebony expected, it seemed like everybody was in the main living room looking really glum. She slowly approached the window that was slightly open and listened in.

"Okay children, we have some bad news. Snows now officially missing, nobodies seen her in three days and the police still don't have any leads as of yet." Most of the children started to cry except for a couple of the other teenage ones but they still had water filling there eyes, even one of the adults that was standing behind the main guy was crying silently.

He continued, "We are putting up missing persons posters tonight and tomorrow morning but if any of you know anything then we need to know now." The children just shook there heads.

After a few minutes of silence one of them asked a question, "Do you think we'll ever seen Snow again?" As the small boy spoke a flash flew into her mind briefly causing a little pain in the back of her skull.

It was her defending herself and the child against bullies. When they both got away for a few minutes she told the little boy to run home. He was out of sight when the bullies found her and started beating her to find out where she'd told him to go but she never caved.

Once she was out of the flashback she realised that she had missed the adults answer.

Everyone was exiting the room leaving her look into a empty space. Jack's hand on her shoulder made her jump. "They really do love you." He smiled trying to make her feel better. She turned around and tried to smile but her heart felt like it was shattering into pieces.

"Yeah it seems like it, doesn't it? But now they'll never be able to see me again, I'll be missing forever. They'll never see me." Ebony muttered loud enough for Jack to hear. Out of the blue Jack gave her a tight embrace which shocked her but she sunk into it and hugged him back trying not to cry again. She hated crying it made her feel weak.

Afterwards both of them walked towards the part of town that Jamie's house was in. As the sun set Ebony changed completely. Her hair changed turning dark brown almost black, she wore a black knee-length Mac coat with black leather boots and along with that she had a black fedora had with a black ribbon around it. Jack looked totally stunned.

"What happened?" Ebony asked.

"I dunno but you look different." Jack stated the obvious.

"Good different or bad different." She peered at him to try and see if she was going to get a honest answer.

"Good different, you look like one of the woman spies from the old gangster/mob films."

Ebony laughed, putting her hands up like guns spinning around on the pavement. Jack laughed from seeing her act so childish, she was still a kid inside. He rushed to catch up with her.

They continued walking along the pavement laughing and something weird happened.

An old man looked up smiling at Ebony and said "Good evening."

"Good evening" She replied. The old man carried on walking toward the next street. "Jack, I thought you said nobody could see us?" She asked astonished at what happened.

"They're not meant to be able too, definitely not adults." He paused for a minute. "Could you try and change back into your other outfit?"

"Why? Do you not like this one?" She teased spinning in a circle.

He laughed then turned serious. "I want to see if they can still see you when your in your other form that's all."

"How do I do that?"

"Maybe you just need to think of it." He assumed.

Ebony did as he said, she felt silly just standing there thinking.

"There you go." She opened her eyes and looked down she was back in the leather armour and her hair was blonde again. "Now try and ask that person the directions to a newsagents."

Ebony ran up to the man leaning on a postbox while reading a evening newspaper and asked but they didn't see or hear her at all. She shrugged and returned to Jack, He was trying to think but he still couldn't figure out how that worked. She stood there and tried to concentrate on the other outfit but it didn't work this time.

"Come on lets go tell the others." Joy filled Jack voice. He grabbed her hand and they started running.

Jack and Ebony was halfway down the street that Jamie's house was on when Ebony heard something. It sounded like that little boy from the orphanage, he was yelling and screaming in fear. She flew off in the direction of the voice slipping out of Jacks hand. She heard Jack say something from behind her but it wasn't clear.

Ebony flew into an alleyway, the little boys yelling came from around the corner. She ran around the corner but it was a dead end and no one was in sight. She quickly looked around the back of the dumpster bin to see if he was hiding behind there but still nothing. She was sure she heard him from this alley, she slowly stepped backwards and turned to exit.

As soon as she turned around she bumped into someone.

"Oh sorry."

"That's alright my dear." Ebony knew that voice, she glanced up to see Pitch's looming form above her. He immediately grabbed her neck raising her into the air.

"You shouldn't have refused my deal, I wouldn't have to kill if you said yes but you declined my request and I can't have MIM making you a Guardian. You already had some abilities when you were mortal, once you've figured out your immortal ones you'll be very powerful indeed. That's why I wanted you on my side but now you have made my choice unavoidable." Pitch said as he walked around the corner.

"Release her Pitch," A voice came from the beginning of the alley, Jack was walking toward them with his staff raised. Ebony was now grasping at Pitch's hand but he placed her in front of him as a shield so if Jack was going to shot ice at him then he would hit her first.

"Why would I do that? She looks so defenceless like this, its kinda cute." Pitch said pinching her cheek. "What would you do if I did let her go?" Pitch asked with an evil smile plastering his face.

"What do you want Pitch?"

"I want what I wanted before. You by my side, us to be partners destroying children's beliefs everywhere."

"D-don't Jack." Ebony gasped.

"Shh, we're talking" Pitch tightened his grip making her choke. "That is my deal Jack, you for her. I love making deals." He chuckled.

"Okay" Jack muttered lowering his staff.

"I'm sorry what was that?" Pitch asked cockily.

"I will turn evil if you let her go." Pitch laughed the moment he heard his answer.
"We should be leaving then, Goodbye sweet Ebony." Pitch whispered into her ear then chucked her powerfully into a brick wall landing on a dumpster with a loud clang.

Ebony was able to see both of them walking into the shadows, Jack looked back at her a last time before she fell into unconsciousness.
