Tooth was slumped against her cage, crying silently. This was all her fault. She knew from the beginning what they were doing wasn't normal. She was the older one between both of them, she should have stopped it before it grew worse. Jack wouldn't know any better, he was just a fun loving kid! Not any longer. He'll just be a fearling. And soon she will be too. Tooth curled into a ball and cried harder. This was the worst thing to ever happen to her.

She cried for more than a few minutues when she heard the sound of a hummingbird's wings. She looked up and saw Baby Tooth. Baby Tooth looked at Tooth worriedly and wiped away her tears.

Baby Tooth said something and for the first time, Tooth didn't understand her.

"I'm sorry." Tooth said about to cry again "I don't understand."

Baby Tooth looked straight at her eyes and said the same thing again and again. Tooth knew it was useless. She rested her head on the bars and closed her eyes when there was a small voice itching at the back of her mind.

"I…lie.. … ..I..beli….e."

Tooth sat up. "Did you just…?"

Baby Tooth nodded and said it again and Tooth heard the voice again except clearer.

"I belie…e, I beli…ve, I beli…e"

"One more time." Urged Tooth. Baby tooth smiled and said loud and clear.

"I believe, I believe, I believe."

Tooth was surprised. "I believe, I believe, I believe." She repeated "That's the answer, is it?"

Baby Tooth smiled up at her and nodded.

Tooth sat up and took a deep breath. She closed her eyes and slowly said "I believe, I believe, I believe."

Nothing happened but Tooth didn't expect anything too. She repeated it again and again. On her 6th try, she felt something, a small change inside. There was hope. She kept her eyes closed. She smiled and chanted again.

"I believe, I believe, I believe. I believe, I believe, I believe…"

Tooth felt herself slowly change. She was getting there! Suddenly there was a big explosion and she felt her cage and all others rattle. Tooht's eyes flew open and she saw herself change completely.

"You're you again!" Baby Tooth said. "The Guardians are here!"

There was another explosion. And she found North's sleigh flying around Pitch's lair. Sandy flew slowly towards her and opened her cage.

Tooth jumped out and hugged him. She was out! Only one thing came in her mind- Jack. She suddenly panicked and looked for Jack.

She saw the guardians battling the nightmares and Pitch.

"North!" Tooth cried.

"We can handle it! Find Jack!" North called while he fought with a nightmare.

Tooth nodded and placed Baby Tooth on her shoulder. "Hold on Baby me." She said and she flew around Pitch's lair.

Tooth bumped occasionally on the wall because of the darkness. Usually she would have to battle a nightmare and she would carefully protect Baby Tooth. She flew around a few minutes until she momentarily panicked and hit the wall so hard she crashed to the ground. She couldn't find Jack. Her hands and knees hurt because of her fall and she couldn't believe she was about to give up. She felt Baby Tooth's tiny hands on her shoulder but she couldn't comfort her now. She felt too weak.

She felt something warm touch her hand and she found a butterfly made out of dreamsand! She looked at it closely and flew away. She thought it was going to hit a wall but it lit the darkness and it showed the way. Tooth followed it closely and soon she was lead to where jack was.

Tooth gasped. Jack was on the floor surrounded by swirling black sand. It was like a tornado and he was in the middle.

"Jack!" Tooth cried but he didn't answer.

Tooth tried to get to him but whenever she touched black sand, she was thrown backwards. She made fruitless attempts until she saw the butterfly. It landed on her hand and she had an idea.

She looked at it closely and blew gently. The butterfly dissolved into pure dreamsand and it floated towards the black tornado.

At first, it absorbed the dreamsand and she thought she failed but then the tornado started slowing down and turning golden until it stopped and disappeared altogether.

Once Tooth was sure it was gone she slowly approached Jack. She almost cried all over again.

Jack didn't look like his normal self. Most of his hair was colored black except the center which was still brown. He looked even thinner than usual and he had frost on his clothes in all the right places except it was all black.

Tooth sat down and rested Jack's head on her lap. Jack was barely breathing and Tooth was once again on the verge of tears.

"Jack?" Tooth said, her voice cracking. "Jack?"

A tear fell down and landed on Jack's forehead. His eyes fluttered and he looked up at her.

Tooth gasped. His eyes were violet except for the barest hints of blue.

Jack smiled weakly at her. "you came…"

"Of course I would. Now let's get you out of here."

Tooth placed Jack's arm over her shoulder and slowly flied out. Baby Tooth saw both of them and landed on jack's shoulder.

"I'm alright… baby Tooth… don't worry." Jack said weakly which only made baby tooth even more nervous.

"Call the others, Baby me. We have to get out of here."

Baby Tooth nodded and zoomed away.

Jack was in and out of consciousness. He would fight to keep awake but end up slumping against Tooth who was struggling with all her might. He hated everything that moment. He couldn't really piece together his thoughts but he knew this was all his fault. If he didn't stand up against the moon or get together with Tooth none of this should have happened.

For what seemed like an eternity he heard Tooth whisper "Jack, we're here. We're going to get you out of here."

He was too tired to respond. He couldn't even keep his eyes open. He felt the wood of the seats of the sleigh on his back and his head on Tooth's lap.

"Tooth…?" He managed to say. "I'm so ….sorry." he mumbled after he totally blacked out.
