This is the final chapter, and it's in Jack's perspective again but hopefully there will be another story that leads on from this one. I hope you enjoyed it all. Thank you for reading.

I ran into the place where me and Sapphire were kept before but once I entered there was only Pitch pacing at the end of the room waiting for me.

"WHERE IS SHE?" I shouted trying to control my anger. Pitch chuckled.

"Why? Can't you see her?" As he spoke I heard a muffled cry, I looked around searching for her but I couldn't find her.

"I don't know what you've done with her but release her now." I continued yelling.

He answered simply with "No."

I shot ice shards at him from my staff and started to charge him, He was able to deflect them easily. I ran at him and went straight through his body. I felt really confused, How did he do that?

I looked around in front of me until the wall in front of me froze and smashed revealing Sapphire with her hand raised towards me.

"Jack move!" I did as she said and saw that Pitch was frozen still behind me, His scythe was a foot away from where my head would have been. She had saved me again.

With each step she took towards Pitch another layer of ice surrounded his body. Once she finally reached him she said something but I could only hear the last part, "You'll never touch him again." Then ice covered his face.

She started walking towards the exit.

"Sapphire, wait." I put up my hand. She turned to me in one smooth motion and gracefully floated over to me. I thought she was going to say something when she grabbed my neck and raised me by it into the air.

When I looked at her eyes the iris that had been a beautiful hazel colour was black, I couldn't see where the pupil had even began.

"Sapphire...stop" I choked. Her eyes turned back to the natural hazel, she released me and staggered backwards shaking her head from side to side.

"Jack run, get away from me. I don't want to hurt you." She pleaded raising her hand into a stop sign.

"I'm not going anywhere." I replied. In less than a moment she collapsed onto the floor. I dashed to her and quickly sat down, lifting the top part of her body onto my lap. "Sapphire, Sapphire can you hear me?". She nodded, she looked really tired. The other guardians ran to my side but stood behind me to give us some space.

"I've made a choice Jack, I won't let myself hurt you..." She paused and North randomly responded "We will, I promise."

I looked at her puzzled, she was getting pale, even paler than she usually is.

"Jack...take this. It's yours now, look after it and remember me." As she spoke she tugged off her silver snowflake necklace and place it in my hand.

"Wait... Sandy can you?" North questioned. Sandy nodded his head and started walking over.

"No, I don't want to forget everything... Don't" then her attention turned back to me, "Goodbye Jack, I love you." She said those words with her final breath.

"No no, Sapphire come back. What ever you was going to do, do it now." I cried and Sandy walked over. He swirled his hands over Sapphire's body and black sand rose from her, after a minute or so Sandy stopped with what looked like enough sand that It was the size of a basketball. He walked backwards turning the black sand into the shining golden colour it should be.

It didn't work, she still wasn't breathing. I looked to the others, they lowered there heads.

"Come on guys, leave them alone for a minute." Bunny suggested and they walked further towards the exited.

"Sapphire, please come back to me. I love you." Nothing happened.

I kissed her one final time, then hung my head over her body as droplets fell onto her dress.

The only thing I heard was a gasp for air, I turned my head to see her face. Her eyes fluttered open, It looked like she saw me but there was no recognition in her face. Her eyes closed again.

"Guys, she's breathing." They all rushed over when I said those words.

North spoke first, "Bunny you get Sapphire to the apartment we set up for Jack, Tooth you go update Jamie and Sandy you go with her just in case he doesn't understand. Jack I need to talk to you." Bunny picked up Sapphire from me and headed down one of his rabbit holes and they were gone. Me and North were left on our own with frozen Pitch.

"Jack, I'll try and be delicate but Sapphire won't be able to remember any of us, not even you. What Sandy did was remove the nightmare sand from her body but there was too much of it in the memory part of her mind and now she won't even know that she's the spirit of winter." I understood everything he was saying.

"What about winter? What will happen to it?" I asked realising that there was nothing without her.

"She gave you that necklace for a reason Jack but I'll get in touch with the other seasons they should be able to help and the world should say in it's normal way for a few years. Hopefully it'll be enough time for her to remember without hurting herself." I nodded at him and put the necklace on and tucked it under my hoodie.

"Can I talk to her one last time? Where is she?" I asked all at once.

"She's in your home town where Jamie can kept an eye on her because she'll still be able to see us. We don't want to trigger her memories too early, I know this is going to be hard but you have to make sure that she doesn't see you. You can watch her from a far and make sure she's okay as long as she doesn't see you. You go to her one last time, I'll deal with Pitch." North threw a snow globe and pointed towards it. I walked through.

I came out from the portal into a modern living room, Bunny headed out of a room and looked at me with sympathy. I began to walk to the room but when I past Bunny he patted me on the back and said "I'm sorry mate, I wouldn't wish this on anybody but if you do need me for anything, I'll be back at the Pole."

I nodded and entered her new bedroom, she was laying in her bed looking so peaceful, a tear fell from my eyes as I realised this might be the last time I get to see her up close for years. I sat down on the edge of her bed and tucked her in to make her as comfortable as possible.

"I'm sorry that I couldn't protect you from Pitch, I know you said you'd do anything for me but you didn't have to do this to save me." I began, she mumbled like she was about to wake up. I kissed her.

"Goodbye" was the last thing I said to her.
