Oh wow. I'm sorry. I really am. I guess I should explain what happened. I got writers block. Badly. Really Badly. And no amount of marshmallows would make it better. So I did the next thing I could think of. I stopped writing. I had everything mapped out. I had sticky notes telling me to type for my life! So now I did. I worked up the courage and typed this. Read it. Enjoy it. All that.
The first thing Tooth thought when she saw Jack was that the cage was small. And it was true. The cage was made of a rusty metal that, while thin, looked hard as a steel girder. And then there was the primitive being inside the cage.
"Jack?" Tooth whispered gently, tears pouring from her eyes. Jack looked up and tried to smile broadly, but it turned into a pathetic sort of half-smile. His hair was covered with dust and black sand and his face was no better. His eyes were blood-shot and had large bags underneath them from lack of sleep. His entire body was thin and weak. It wouldn't be a longshot to say that the creature couldn't look less like the Jack Frost they knew. What had Pitch done to him?
"I couldn't break the cage by me-self." Bunny explained, "Those bars are as tough as nails and there doesn't seem to be a door." The guardians nodded to each other and each tried their respective weapons on the cage. Nothing worked.
Sandy thought for a few moments. While it was true that the Guardians couldn't break the cage on their own, if they were to work together, the cage might not be able to bear their combined strength! With a small jerk of North's hand, Sandy got everyone's attention and began to explain his plan.
It was rather simple. If everyone got into position and Abby counted them in, they could get the attacks to hit the same spot at the exact same moment as everyone else. Abby nodded and took out a small necklace she had been wearing.
The necklace was made entirely of gold and hanging on it was an hourglass. Inside the hourglass was a special sand that was rarer than Dream-Sand. It was rarer than Sweet and Sour Noodle Sand. It was the infamous Sand of Time, which was found on the shores at the world's end. And only specific Spirits could get there.
Abby gently sighed and nodded at the Guardians. After taking their places, Abby gently turned the hourglass upside down and the entire room seemed to lose it's time. The guardians could feel the time had slowed down, so they began to attack. The attacks didn't hit the cage immediately. Since time had slowed down, they flew towards the cage in slow-motion. And the Sand of Time ran out.
Instantly, time snapped back to normal like a rubber band. The Guardian's attacks, which had lined up perfectly in the space of the time-slow, struck the cage, sending out a clear note. And the bars of the cage finally gave way.
With the cage breached, the rest of it began to return to its normal state, Black-Sand. Including Jack.
"JACK! What happened?" Tooth looked into each of the Guardian's faces but didn't find an answer. She finally looked deep into the Spirit of Time's eyes and asked the question again. "What happened to Jack?"
"I believe I can answer that question." Everyone whipped round to see…Pitch. He was standing in the corridor they had just come down and was holding the limp body of the Spirit of Winter. And the entire world shuddered to a halt.
I have a feeling you people have a horrid idea of what has happened. And don't worry, I'm not that cruel. I seriously would never do that in my first Fan fiction. Or my second. I don't know. Anyway, thanks. I really want to thank everyone who actually thinks my story is good. I decided to leave this as a cliff hanger. I know it's mean but I now have three things to do in my life on this laptop of mine. 1) Fan Fiction. 2) My website! 3) My best friend. So yeah…I guess this is a bit long for an author's note but…Thanks again. I really mean it. And I will write the next chapter ASAP!
