Hey guys! I might as well say this now, just in case.

I DO NOT own anyone from ROtG. That includes Pitch, Jack, Bunny, Tooth, Sandy, etc. I do own Ranger, Iyana, and Charles.

Thanks for the comments, sparklehannah, peerainbowdog, and Where'sMyPen. Love you, and all those who liked and followed! Feedback and support has really helped me write this.

To tell you all the truth, I'm saying all of this because this is getting close to the End. At least, of this part of the story. I plan to leave it and maybe pick it up later with a nice and happy temporary ending. It might end up becoming it's actual ending. Who knows. College is beginning and that adds a bit of pressure on me. People have high expectations because they see me as the lazy genius. It's such a drag. ;)

Now, onto the Immortal Child! What will Ranger's decision be?


Pitch paced back and forth. Ranger has been gone for a week now. He had gotten used to her company. Her calm answers to his questions. Her fake cheery attitude. Her melancholy façade.

He knew she was probably safer with the Guardians, but something was bugging him. He couldn't shake it. And it was tiring him out.

He stopped and put his face in his hands. "What is the matter with you?" He said, letting out a long sigh. "You've seen wars before and gotten through them. You can do it again."

He knew that he was lying to himself. He barely got through the World Wars. And the fights he had with the Guardians couldn't even be called wars. It was four against one, usually. Until it became five against one. Almost four against two.

"Pitch. Can you hear me?"

Pitch looked up and around. He hasn't hear that voice in a long time. If he was going crazy, so help him. He did not need that right now.

"It seems you can. I need a favor, from an old friend."

Pitch scoffed. "I have no old friends." He said. "I must be going crazy. I need to rest." He turned and began heading to his room.

"It's about Annaliese."

"Who?"

"Ranger."

Pitch paused. Considering he's an immortal feeding off of fear, and considering the people he knows... this shouldn't be that crazy. Right?

"What about her?" He asked.

"She's going to die. But she's going to be reborn. As you did long ago."

"Oh. This." Pitch sighed. "What do I need to do, John."


Bunny looked over Charles' shoulder, watching as the child did all he could. Jack had already left with Toothania and North to where Pitch was. North concluded that whatever happened, only Pitch can fix it.

Suddenly, Charles stopped and back up into Bunny.

"What is it?" He asked.

Charles' hands fell to his sides as he closed his eyes. "Her heart has stopped." He said softly.

"Oh no..." Bunny's eyes widened as Ranger's body began to glow with a soft white light. It was slowly lifted into the air, into the moonlight. The glowing got so bright, Bunny had to squint to see. But there was nothing to see. The child was gone.

He stood there, unsure of what to do.

"We're back!" North declared as he walked through a portal, tossing a sack onto the ground.

The sack had black marks here and there, as if they were burned. Or the black was just sand. The top was coated in ice, sealing it shut.

"He wouldn't talk, so we brought him here." Jack explained, leaning on his staff. "Where's Ranger?"

Damn it. Bunny sighed and closed his eyes. How does he explain this to Jack? A kid who hasn't seen any other spirits die accept Sandy. And he disintegrated into black sand. Must have been traumatizing. This would be worse.

"She's dead! I already told you!" Came Pitch's voice from the bag.

"He lies." Jack said, wheeling on Bunny. "Right?"

Tooth hovered behind Jack, putting a hand on his shoulder. "...Jack..." She said softly.

"Jack, you must stop." Pitch said. "Only I can bring her back. If you kill me, then she's gone forever."

"Bring her back then!"

"I cannot from here. You have to let me out, and let me go back."

"I don't trust you."

"You can come with me then. But we don't have a lot of time."

The bag was opened and Pitch stumbled out, almost falling to the ground again.

"Let's go." Jack said darkly.


Short chapter, huh? Well the next one will be a bit longer. I wanted to post something so you guys know I'm not dead. Yay! I have an idea of what will happen to Ranger, but I need a vote. Just a simple one, nothing to big. You need to make a choice. Want to see Cupid or Robin Hood?

Thanks guys. 3
