Chapter 10: Facing Pitch, Sandy's Death

Jamie's brown eyes were as wide as dinner plates as he traced his eyes over the Guardians and the spirits.

"Santa Claus." he whispered and, as he named them, he shined his flashlight over every one of them. "The Easter Bunny? Sandman. Windsong, Narain." His eyes finally landed on Tooth. "The Tooth Fairy! I knew you'd come!"

Tooth chuckled nervously. "Surprise! We came."

"He can see us?!" Jack exclaimed hopefully.

Bunnymund looked at Jack and Casey sadly. "Most of us."

That was when Jack and Casey realized that Jamie's flashlight just passed over them. The young boy couldn't see them. Jack and Casey looked down, disheartened at the realization.

"Shh!" Tooth exclaimed "You guys, he's still awake!"

"Sandy, knock him out!" Bunnymund commanded.

Sandy nodded and pounded a fist into his hand, which got a look of confusion from Jamie.

Bunnymund rolled his eyes. "With the dream sand ya gumby!"

A low growling alerted them and they saw Jamie's dog standing and eyeing Bunnymund.

"No stop," Jamie ordered. "That's the Easter Bunny! What are you doing, Abby, down!"

"Alright, nobody panic." Bunnymund said, slowly setting his bag of teeth down.

"That's a, um," Jack started. "That's a Greyhound. Do you know what Greyhounds do to rabbits?"

"Well it's a pretty safe bet it's never met a rabbit like me." Bunnymund said. "Six foot one, nerves of steel, master of tai chi and-"

Jack rolled his eyes and poked Jamie's alarm clock with the end of his staff, which set off the alarm, which in turn got Abby barking.

"Crikey!" Bunnymund exclaimed as Abby began chasing him around the room. Sandy conjured up a ball of dream sand and was trying to hit Abby with it. He finally threw it, but instead of hitting the dog, it hit Tooth. The ball bounced off the walls, hitting Bunnymund, then the dog, then Narain and Windsong, then North. When he collapsed on the bed, his weight sent Jamie flying through the air, where Sandy caught him and put him to sleep.

As they stared at their sleeping friends, Casey glared at Jack when all he said was "Whoops." As they watched their friends, Bunnymund's dream carrots took the candy canes from North's dream and started dancing with them. Jack jumped down from the dresser, laughing. "Oh man, I really wish I had a camera right now."

Casey slapped Jack's shoulder. "You just caused all this chaos and that's all you have to say?!" Jack just shrugged.

They heard a noise and looked out the window to see two of Pitch's nightmares fly by. Jack and Casey jumped out the window as Jack called out, "Sandy come on! We can find Pitch!" The three flew through the air after the nightmares until Jack nailed the last one and froze it solid.

"You got it!" Casey exclaimed as she and Jack leapt into the air onto the roof where they saw the nightmare. Jack smiled and looked around for Sandy.

"Sandy, did you see that!?" He poked the frozen nightmare with his staff. "Look at this thing." Neither he nor Casey noticed Pitch come up behind them.

"Frost? Aqua?" he said, causing Jack and Casey to spin around. They attacked, but the Nightmare King easily dodged and ended up on the roof above them. "You know, for a neutral party, you two spend an awful lot of time with those weirdos. This isn't your fight."

"You made it our fight when you stole those teeth!" Casey exclaimed.

"Teeth?" Pitch questioned. "Why do you care about the teeth?" He suddenly turned to see Sandy standing behind him, an annoyed look on his face. Pitch laughed. "Now this is who I'm looking for." Sandy began attacking with a fury of sand whips, which eventually knocked Pitch to the street below. Casey and Jack stood next to Sandy and grinned.

"Remind us not to get on your bad side." Jack said as the three floated through the air to the street, landing in front of Pitch.

Pitch began backing away. "You can't blame me for trying, Sandy!" he stammered. "You don't know what it's like to be weak and hated! It was stupid of me to mess with your dreams, so I'll tell you what," He stood and an evil look crossed his face. "You can have them back." Very soon Jack, Casey and Sandy were surrounded by nightmares.

"You take the ones on the left, we'll take the ones on the right?" Casey asked. Sandy just shrugged.

Pitch came up riding one of the nightmares. "Boo!" he exclaimed and the nightmares attacked.

Before Sandy, Jack and Casey even began fighting, North's sleigh crashed in above them. North, Bunnymund and Tooth were still half asleep and it wasn't until a bump jolted the sleigh did they wake up. Sandy grabbed the free hands of both Jack and Casey and lifted them into the air, a ploom of nightmares following them. Sandy let go of them and Jack and Casey immediately began to fight.

Bunnymund threw his boomerangs, North drew his swords and Tooth fought with what she had. Narain slashed at nightmares with her black sword and Windsong shot the nightmares with her arrows. Two nightmares came at Jack from either side and he just dropped, letting them collide. He lost his hold on his staff and free fell for a minute or two before he grabbed hold of it again and landed on one of the sleigh's wings. Casey soon landed on the other side. Bunnymund looked at Jack and grinned.

"You might wanna duck."

Jack looked behind him just in time to avoid getting hit in the head by one of Bunnymund's boomerangs. Bunnymund caught the boomerang, a grin present on his face.

Sandy, meanwhile, was fighting off Pitch's nightmares. Casey looked at North, then back at Sandy. "We gotta help Sandy!"

Windsong looked up just as Pitch conjured an arrow made of nightmare sand and shot it at Sandy. The arrow connected with Sandy's back, instantly stopping him in his tracks.

"No!" Windsong yelled and she, Casey and Jack took off into the air.

Pitch cackled. "Don't fight the fear little man!" And a few minutes later, Sandy was lost to the nightmare sand.

Windsong, Jack and Casey stopped a moment in the air, then charged forward. Windsong stopped a little ways away and strung her bow. She fired at Pitch as Jack and Casey flew forward, their staffs out in front of them. Pitch crushed Windsong's arrow like it was nothing and sent a wave of his sand at them, but before it engulfed them, at the edge of the wave, two lights flashed, one was light blue the other, dark blue. Jack and Casey sent a surge of energy through the sand simultaneously soaking it then freezing it before it shattered and it fell to the ground as snow. Pitch backed off, but as the Guardians and the two older spirits looked on, they saw Jack and Casey falling through the sky.

Windsong and Tooth took action, both of them flying towards the younger spirits. Tooth caught Jack in her arms and Windsong caught Casey and the two lowered them back onto the sleigh.

"Jack, Casey, how did you two do that?" Narain asked.

Jack and Casey looked at her and Windsong, confusion all over their faces. "We didn't even know we could." Jack replied as he and Casey shared a look.

"We'd better get back to the pole." Narain said, a sad expression on her face. "It looks like we have a Guardian to mourn."

The others nodded in reply, but no one looked more upset about what had happened to Sandy then Windsong.

Casey put a hand on Windsong's shoulder and, when the older girl turned to look at her, Casey saw tears shining in her twilight blue eyes. Casey forced herself to sit up and pulled Windsong into a hug.

"I'm so sorry." she said softly.. Windsong didn't say anything.

Was this any good?
