Jack closed the window to Sophie's room, after placing the child on her bed and making sure she doesn't fall off this time, and turned to head back when he heard the voice calling his name, glad he left Baby Tooth behind. Knowing where the voice is coming from Jack flew straight to Pitch's lair and jumped down the hole leading into it.

Landing on the ground, Jack flies right for the cages holding the fairies and pulled open the doors, freeing the ones he can before Pitch can stop him. Twittering their thanks the fairies flew up and out of Pitch's lair to freedom. Just as Jack was about to free the rest of the fairies he is hit by a wave of black sand, knocking him to the ground. "Nice try Jack but I can't let you have Tooth's annoying helpers." Pitch sneered as he came into view.

Jack leapt back to his feet, his staff pointing at Pitch, "I'm not afraid of you and I will free Tooth's fairies, you can't stop me."

"Oh really?" Pitch taunted before pinning Jack to the wall, stalking over to him. "That's where you're wrong. You see Jack I know what you fear you're scared of being alone, of not being seen, not knowing who you are and what your purpose is."

Struggling to get free, Jack growled at Pitch's words. "You don't know me at all Pitch, I may be scared like you said but I have learned to overcome my fears and I do know who I am, what my purpose is!"

Pitch glared at Jack before he shrugged, turning away. "If you say so but it doesn't change the fact that you make a mess no matter what you do, in act you're making one right now." He stated as he released Jack, tossing him the capsule holding his teeth and slipped into the shadows.

Jack caught the capsule without thinking and shoved it in the pocket of his hoodie, chasing after Pitch as he did though he knew he wouldn't catch him. He turned around to find himself looking at broken eggs leading to the park in Burgess. "No." He whispered in horror at the sight before him.

Not wanting to watch as Bunny found out what it felt like to not be believed in Jack looked away hurt showing on his face. "I'm sorry Bunny I didn't want you to go through this again." He thought, running over to Bunny as he huddled on the ground after one of the children had walked through him.

"Jack where were you? We needed you, Pitch's nightmares came, they crushed every egg, destroyed every basket." North said as soon as he saw Jack.

Jack glanced quickly at North but, other than that, ignored him in an effort to comfort Bunny, Tooth fluttering behind North. "I'm so sorry I wish there could have been another way to do this."

"But there wasn't. Don't worry about it Frostbite, getting Sandy back is important even if I have to feel what it's like to not be believed in, now let's make this look real." Bunny told him so only Jack could hear before he stood to tower over Jack, anger and hurt showing. "I don't want you here, leave! We never should have trusted you." He shouted and turned his back to Jack.

Jack took a step back, unconsciously reaching into his pocket and pulling out the tooth capsule. "Jack, where did you get that? Where's Baby Tooth?" Tooth questioned as soon as she saw what was in his hand.

"That's why you won't here, you were with Pitch." North looked at him in shock, Tooth gasped covering her mouth.

Upon hearing that Baby Tooth was missing Jack jerked around, searching for her. "You mean she's not with you, I left her behind when I took Sophie home."

"She flew after you before we could stop her, we thought you knew that." Bunny let Jack know.

Jack shook his head, "I'm sorry please let me explain." Jack pleaded but North and Tooth turned away from him. Hurt, Jack let the capsule fall from his hand before fleeing in a blast of snow and cold wind. Once he was gone Bunny leant over to pick up the capsule an held it out to Tooth, who took it just as Bunny started shrinking.


Jack stood on a cliff overlooking the snow covered landscape, clutching his staff tightly in anger at Pitch for what he did. His eyes narrowed when he heard Pitch's unwanted voice coming from behind him and spun around blasting his power at him. "Like I said before, you know nothing about me." Jack screamed as he did.

Pitch swatted the blast aside, "Wrong. I do know. I know what it's like to be alone, to be invisible. To long for… a family." He replied.

"I have a family, with them I'm never alone so I don't have to ever fear about being invisible. I am a Guardian." Jack proclaimed as he turned away from Pitch. "Now leave me alone."

Pitch watched Jack as he started to walk away, an angry look on his face. "You want to be alone fine be alone but first." He said and jerked an arm out, Baby Tooth in his hand, the fairy making a distressed noise causing Jack to spin around upon hearing her.

"Baby Tooth." He shouted and flew forwards.

"What's the matter Jack, I thought you wanted to be alone?" Pitch sneered as he tightened his grip on Baby Tooth. "The staff Jack, you have a bad habit of interfering, I'll let her go if you hand it over." He demanded.

"Let her go first then I'll hand over my staff." Jack bargained.

"Done." Pitch replied and let Baby Tooth go. She instantly flew to hide in Jack's hoodie pocket as Jack held out his staff to Pitch, who grabbed it and immediately snapped it in two before hitting Jack with his black sand, knocking him out as he fell down into a gorge.

Pith glared at Jack, throwing his broken staff into the gorge with him then leaving. After several minutes Jack regained consciousness and reached into his pocket to pull out Baby Tooth and make sure she is alright. Baby Tooth twittered, assuring him she's fine so Jack set her in the folds of his hood and stood up, moving to pick up his broken staff. He aligned the two pieces together before using his power to meld them back together and was soon flying back to Burgess with Baby Tooth.


Jack landed outside Jamie's window, listening to the boy as he pleaded with his stuffed rabbit, knowing it's time to renew the boy's belief when the rabbit hit the floor. He quietly pushed open the window and stepped into the room.

Hearing the sound of frost covering his window Jamie looked over at it to see an egg being drawn in the frost. He quickly glanced at his toy then back to the window saying softly in awe, "He's real," making Jack smile and draw a rabbit above it bringing it to life.

Jamie laughed and jumped on his bed watching the rabbit as it hopped in the air around his room before breaking up. "Snow?" Jamie said confused until a single snowflake landed on his nose. His eyebrows knit as he remembered what his mother told him. "Jack Frost." He whispered.

"Did he just say?" Jack said.

"Jack Frost?" Jamie began to search his room.

"He said it again… he said… you said…"

Jamie turned around to see Jack standing near the bottom of his bed. "Jack Frost." He stated, his mouth hanging open, his eyes wide open.

"That's right but that's me, that's my name, you said my name." Jack responded. "Wait can you see me?" Jamie nodded. "Can… can… can you see me?" Jack asked and Jamie nodded once more, a smile spreading across his face. Over joyed Jack let out a light sob, "He sees me… he sees me." He did a flip and landed on Jamie's desk, laughing.

Jamie takes a step back before jumping forward, excited. "You just made it snow!"

"I know!" Jack answered.

"In my room!" Jamie exclaimed.

"I know right." Jack jumped off the desk.

"You're real?"

"Yeah man, who do you think brings you all the blizzards and snow days and you remember when you went flying on that sled the other day."

"That was you?"

"That was me."

"Cool."

"Right."

"But what about the Easter Bunny and the Tooth Fairy…?"

"Real…real…real. Every one of us is real." Jack told Jamie as he picked up his toy rabbit.

"I knew it!"

"Jamie who are you talking to?" Jamie's mom asked just then. Jamie looked at Jack who moved his head towards the door, a smile on his face.

"Um... Jack Frost." Jamie answered.

His mom chuckled, "Okay."

Jamie turned and grinned at Jack, both of them laughing until a loud noise drew Jack to the window to see North's sleigh crash land outside the Bennett's house.

After glancing back at Jamie Jack flew outside. Tooth saw him and happily pointed at him. "Look." She fluttered the best she could out of the sleigh calling Jack's name.

He walked over to help her back to her feet, "Are you okay?" She simply smiled at him while running a hand over her head feathers, North stepping up next to her.

"What are you doing here?" He asked Jack, who turned at the sound of a door opening and closing.

"Same as you." He told them with a smile as Jamie came running over to them.

"The last light." North said in surprise.

"Wow, it is you. I mean it is you. I knew it wasn't a dream." Jamie laughs turning to look at Jack.

North and Tooth look at him in awe. "Jack he sees you." North whispered and Jack nudged Jamie, the two of them smiling at each other.
