3rd person POV

"Why? Why? Why? WHY?!" Jack's fists slammed into the wall with a force that shattered the frost. He felt the stares of the other Guardians on his back.

"When was she taken?" The winter spirit's voice was low and feral. No one could believe it was his. Tooth piped up nervously.

"Around four hours ago."

"DAMMIT!" The wall caved under a pale fist. North flinched like he was the one hit. Bunny's paw came down on Jack's shoulder. The boy faced him, blue eyes holding all the rage of a storming sea. The Pooka recoiled at the unexpected sight. Sandy debated briefly on throwing some dream sand on the raging teen. That thought was banished when the walking icicle shoved tears off his cheeks.

For the first time in a long time, the Guardians saw Jack for what he really was. A broken, lost, immortal teenager with low self-esteem and trust issues. Everything about him screamed anger except his eyes. They were full of pain and fear. Pain in losing his best friend. Fear for her life.

"Wind! WIND!" A rush of freezing cold air bounced around the room, pushing the windows open. "Take me to Harmony and Libros." Then the frost child was gone. Bunny, North, Tooth, and Sandy all exchanged glances.

"To da sleigh!"

Jack's POV

That bastard! How dare he take her. How dare he steal Harmony. THAT SICK BASTARD! The wind pulled me through the air like a bullet, faster every second. Cities, lakes, mountains,and plains blurred into a nothing beneath me. Clouds brewed around me with snowy storms. The temperature dropped by the second. I could feel the storm expanding and growing in intensity. It stretched for miles in all direction, throwing down sleet, snow, rain, and lightning. Cold, white lightning.

A disruption in the storm alerted me to where Libros and Harmony were. I concentrated my storm on that area. They had at least an hour on me and were approaching Death Valley rapidly. I couldn't do anything there. I had to cut them off. Easier said than done.

First, I made sure lightning struck in the area every second, forming a wall of pure energy. Then I beat the heaviest and hardest of precipitation around them. It would slow them down but not stop them.

"Faster wind!" My shout was lost in the roar of the storm around me. But I could feel my speed increase by the tenfold. It was thirty minutes of this neck breaking speed until I found them. Libros was on his chariot with Harmony tied up in the back. They were twisting and turning, trying to find a way through. Each time the chariot shifted, Harmony almost fell out.

"LIBROS!" Using my staff, I froze a wall in front of them. The son of a bitch couldn't stop and collided with the wall. The chariot jerked, then steadied. Harmony looked at me with scared, large eyes. My heart twisted at the sight. The black eyed jerk faced me.

"Oh, hello Jack." His tone was polite and smug. "Awful weather we are having right now, isn't it?"

"I kinda like it." I smirked as I watched Libros come to the realization I was the one behind the storm. He was an idiot if I ever saw one. "Let her go." His laugh was chilling and nails-on-chalkboard sounding. Harmony shivered.

"Nah, I rather like having her with me. She's fiery. Besides, my master needs her desperately. But I plan to steal her from him anyways." Harmony wriggled out of her gag.

"I am not a prize!" A tanned hand came in contact with her porcelain cheek. I sent a blast of frost to coat Libros. He dodged, jerking the chariot and almost sending Harmony tumbling down. He smirked.

"Oh, behave Jackie. We wouldn't want our precious muse to fall." The grip on my staff tightened. Harmony scooted closer to the edge. She locked eyes with me and looked to the far away ground, then back at me. She was going to jump. She wanted me to catch her. She trusted me. I nodded at her.

"Why do your master want her?"Libros smirked.

"He is quite taken with our precious doll her." The sick bastard lifted Harmony up by her hair, getting a scream from her. The villain laughed cruelly.

"Ah! I love your scream, darling. It is so refreshing!" He pulled her body against his and smushed her against the side of the chariot. I flew forward but was met with a magical barrier of some sorts. I pushed against the stupid force field, then beat against it with ice and frost. Harmony was sandwiched between a manic and a solid wall. He smashed his lips to hers, but at the last second she turned away. He only got her cheek. Pulling back, he threw her against the front of the chariot. Her head knocked against the wall with a crack.

"HARMONY!" The disgusting jerk proceeded to kiss the stunned girl. He locked his lips over her mouth and held her nose with his hand, starving her of oxygen. Her struggles ceased, and he started to fiddle with her sweater hem. As it was coming off, I felt a disturbance in the atmosphere. An electrical disturbance.

"Libros! Move your chariot!" He gave me a sneer then was screaming. A column of lightning struck the chariot. I prayed that Harmony would be okay. The lightning fried what every was keeping the barrier up, and I could get through. When the plasma rod was gone, the chariot was falling though the air. I dove toward the flaming wreckage. As it tumbled, I commanded the wind to find Harmony and Libros. Pieces flew up around me. It probably looked like ball lightning from the ground. The ground came up rapidly.

"Wind, slow the descent of everything!" It worked, but impact was still hard. The ground jumped up, grabbed me, and then I belonged to the black sky.

My head was spinning and the world around me was smoky. I coughed weakly, and the event that proceeded this came rushing back. Harmony! Libros! I called the wind to clear the smoke, and soon I could see everything around me. The chariot pieces still burned. The sky was still black.

"Harmony? Libros?" My voice was hoarse and thin. A cough came from close by, and I found myself at Libros' side. He was coughing up blood and had blackened skin.

"I...I...am...sorry...Jack." He coughed violently. I tried to cool his burns with small bits of frost.

"Don't talk. Save your strength." His hand found me wrist.

"I...can't...be...saved...Find...Harmony...Tell...her...I...am...sorry...Tell...her...I...I." Then his lips moved no more. The black eyes I feared slid shut. Bile rose in my throat. Tears burned unshed in my eyes. I froze his body in ice.

"I wish it didn't end like this." I really didn't want him dead. I just wanted him to give Harmony back. Steeling my nerves, I searched for another body. It felt like forever. Finally, my eyes landed on a girl's form. She had minimal burns on her. I could only assume Libros' body had protected hers. Slowly, I felt for a pulse, scared of what I wouldn't find. But there it was. Faint. But I found it.

She needed medical attention now. Scooping her up gently, I brought her to my chest. The wind carried us up to a familiar red sleigh.

"NORTH!" The master swordsman pulled down to my level. I was grabbed by Bunny and Tooth and pulled into the sleigh.

"What 'appened, mate? That storm o' yours was somethin' else, frostbite." My eyes remained locked on the face of the girl in my arms.

"Libros is dead. Harmony isn't far off. We need to get to Santoff Claussen now." Without a question, North kicked it into high gear. The sleigh took off at a speed that broke the sound barrier. Tension blocked my throat, but my eyes never wavered from Harmony's face. She would make it. She had to. If she didn't, it would be my fault. I had killed Libros, and I didn't to kill her too. I didn't want to kill Harmony, but I had. I killed Harmony.
