Jack's Pov

I climbed through the window and into Sophie's bedroom, gently holding her in my arms.

Eve was hovering outside the window, her cat senses searching for any sign of danger.

Walking over to Sophie's bed, I put her on it, but in her sleep, she locked her arms around my neck and I leaned over to try and put her on the bed. 'Oh man, come on, Soph.' I thought as I struggled to pry her for my neck. I did and sighed with relief, then I saw her start to roll of the bed. I cringed as she fell on the floor.

"Sophie? Is that you?" A woman, I assumed her mom, called out.

My eyes widen, sure the mom can't eye me, but still, it would be weird to find your kid on the floor sound asleep with a window open. Thinking quickly, I threw a small blanket on to Sophie and then a stuffed animal for good measure. Then darted out the open window and up to the roof, out of sight of anyone looking out the window.

Eve closed the window as Baby Tooth flew out and they both came up and joined me on the roof. We stood listening for just a moment to be sure Sophie was ok.

"We should get back." I said when I didn't hear any screaming or anything alarming.

Eve nodded and mounted her broom.

I was about to jump into the air when…

"Jack..." A young girl's voice laughed.

I froze. It was so familiar, like a memory.

"Jack, you look confused. You okay?" Eve asked with concern as she pushed off the roof and hovered at the edge. "Jack?" Eve asked concern written all over her face, when I didn't answer the first time.

"That voice, I know that voice..." I trailed off.

Baby Tooth looked as worried as Eve did, but I wasn't paying any attention to them.

"Jack, what voice?" Eve asked.

I looked at her like she was nuts.

'How can you not hear it? You have ten times better hearing then I do.' I thought.

"Jack..." The voice called again.

This time I couldn't sit there. I leaped into the air and was carried by the wind. I was searching the source of the voice.

"Jack, what voice are you hearing?" Eve asked from behind me, but I was too focused on finding the source to hear her.

I landed on a rotating vent of a house far from the Bennett's. As I slowly spin I hear it again calling my name. I turn and it's coming from the woods.

"Jack." Eve tried but I leaped off and toward the woods. I had to find the voice.

We landed in a thickly wooded area in the woods. The way that the branches hung, gave off the creepy horror movie vibe.

"Jack, I think we need to leave." Eve said sounding worried.

"Jack..." The voice called again.

I sprint into the woods, deeper and deeper. Avoiding low branches, up turned roots, and pushing other braches out of my way. Until I came to a small clearing. In the center of this clearing was a child's bed frame. 'Okay, could this get any creepier?'

"Jack, please. I've got a really bad feeling about this." Eve said as Baby Tooth grabbed the hood of my Hoodie and tried to pull.

I waved them both off. "Don't worry, there's still time."

I walk over to the bed frame and see a hole beneath it.

"Hey, Eve, how's your Mana?" I asked as I lift my staff.

I hear the sound of sparks, but they were faint.

"Not full. I have enough for one energy ball, but that's it. Why?" she asked.

I answer in bring my staff down on the wooden planks of the bed frame.

Crack! One broke.

Crack! Another snapped.

Soon I had revealed the deep dark hole completely.

"No, Jack. We have to head back, Pitch might have attacked and they need us." Eve said.

"Jack..." The voice called again from in the hole.

"I think there's someone trapped down there." I muttered, but knew Eve could hear it as well as if I said it normally. With that I jumped bravely dawn the hole.

Baby Tooth and Eve followed right behind me. The farther we fell, the stronger the smell of Sulfur got. I heard Eve choke, it must have been too strong for her.

When we fell out of the labyrinth like tunnel, we saw that we were in an underground cavern. Baby Tooth tugged again on my hoodie, as if saying 'okay we've seen it, can we go now?'

I waved her off. "Baby Tooth, Baby...come on!" I walked deeper in.

"Jack, I don't like this." Eve said as she dismounted her broom. "I don't like this at all."

I noticed that her hands where gripping Nyx, her broom, so tightly that her knuckles where pure white.

"I have to find out what that is." I said as we continued deeper in.

My eyes widened. Hanging from the ceiling was dozens of huge bird cages. In them all was the Mini Tooth Fairies. I leaped on to one as Eve's ears kept turning and twitching, her eyes just as shifty. The fairies started to twitter loudly.

"Shhhh! keep it down." I whispered.

Then I leaped to another one. "I'm gonna get you out of here, just as soon as I –"

I was interrupted. "Jack…"

I was almost hypnotized as I turned away.

"Jack..."

Eve mounted her Broom with her wand out and pointed it at a lock on the cage door.

"Alohomora." I heard her say then a frustrated sound.

"As I can –" I said slowly as I look down and see mounds of the Tooth boxes that had been taken.

I leaped on to one, my mind focused on one thing. My Teeth, my memories, the answers to all my questions. My duties forgotten, along with the fairies, the guardians, Baby Tooth, and Eve.

"Jack, I can't unlock these… Jack?" Eve's distant voice called.

I was rummaging through the boxes, searching for the one with my face. I was so busy searching that I hadn't noted Eve hover next to me, nor how much darker it was getting.

Then I did notice Eve, she looked worried. "Eve, can you magically get them?" I asked desperately.

She opened her mouth to answer, but was interrupted. "Looking for something?"

I swung around and shot a blast of ice at Pitch, who dodged into the shadows. I leaped on to the floor and away from the teeth.

"Don't be afraid, Jack. I'm not going to hurt you." Pitch's voice seemed to come from everywhere.

His shadow passed over the walls like he was playing some sick game of 'guess the right one'.

Eve dismounted her broom and I stepped in front of her instinctively.

"Afraid?" I questioned.

"We'll be fine." Eve whispered in my ear and man did it seem like she'd said that before.

Not to a kid, but…me. I felt a spark in me, I felt suddenly braver. Then we saw Pitch on a bridge across the cavern.

I gave Eve a nudge and she wrapped her arms around my neck. For a second it, was awkward, but then I leaped in the air and landed on the bridge.

Eve let go and readied an energy ball, her tail was flicking back and forth, meaning she was angry or annoyed. Her ears where perked however, alert for anything. Her body mirrored mine in that we were being vigilant.

"I'm not afraid of you!" Eve and I said, our voices sounding like a mixture of bravery and anger.

Pitch smirked as we walked closer to him. "Maybe not. But you are afraid of something."

"You think so, huh?" I challenged.

"I know so. It's the one thing I always know." Pitch said as he finely faced us fully. "People's greatest fears." He mused, then looked directly at me. "Yours is that no one will ever believe in you."

I heard Eve hiss behind me, as I felt panic rise with in me.

Pitch looked at Eve. "You on the other hand are very difficult." He waved a hand as if to remove a mask that he wasn't wearing. "Always hiding yours so well."

"I don't fear anything." Eve said her voice so full of bravery that I almost believed that she didn't have any fears, but I knew of one. Fire. I didn't know why.

Pitch laughed. "Yes you do. You fear many things. I know your core fear, as well as the others that you hide."

For a second Eve had a flash of panic that mirrored mine.

"Your core is that you'll lose the ones you love." Pitch said and then shadows surrounded us.

I couldn't see anything and I thought I fell against a wall, but the shadows left and I realized it was the floor.

Pitch's laugh filled my ears and I see Eve, her eyes wide and her pupils are huge and filled with fear. I never seen her this scared. Her tail had fluffed up and her back was arched, like she was trying the make herself bigger. I swear that her hat was higher, was the hair on her head standing up too?

I stood and helped her up as I took in where we were now. We were right where we had started. In the main room.

"And worst of all, you're afraid you'll never know why. Why you? Why were you chosen...to be like this?" Pitch's voice seemed to come from everywhere.

Spun trying to find him. He was targeting me. I turned and found that me and Eve where backed up to a wall.

"Well fear not, for the answer to that..." Pitch said and suddenly appeared in front of us. "Is right here." He said and held out a Tooth box.

On it was my face, but I had brown hair and eyes. They were right there in front of me…

"Do you want them, Jack? Your memories?" Pitch asked in a teasing way.

I started to reach, but stopped and closed my eyes. I couldn't, what if it was a trick? I felt Eve's hand on my shoulder. It was shaking. I opened my eyes and Pitch as gone.

We walked down a corridor into another room of cages and tooth box mounds, but this one had a globe like the one North has, but this one looked a little tarnished.

"Everything you want to know..." Pitch's voice echoed as his shadow seemed to be everywhere. "...in this little box." He taunted.

Every time I turned Pitch was gone. It was like a fun house, without the fun.

"Why did you end up like this? Unseen. Unable to reach out to anyone." Pitch said toying with me.

Eve gripped my shoulder as if saying 'Don't listen to him.'

We slowly backed up, Eve right behind me.

"You want the answers so badly. You want to grab them, and fly off with them." He said sounding so close by, yet so far. "But you're afraid of what the Guardians will think. You're afraid of what Belleve will think."

My breathing speed up as Eve gasped. I turned to see she was against the wall. We were cornered.

"You're afraid of disappointing them." Pitch smiled at my fears showing on my face.

Everything he was saying was true. Eve tugged me away from the wall fearfully. Her cat half was really kicking in, she hated being in a corner with nowhere to go.

"Well let me ease your mind about one thing. They'll never accept you. Not really." He said taunting, but it was like he knew something I didn't.

Eve's energy ball lit up, but it was weak. Barely a glow in the shadows that surrounded us.

I shook my head trying to clear it of these thoughts. These terrifying thoughts. "Stop it! Stop it!" I screamed, grabbing my head.

"After all, you're not one of them." Pitch said as he appeared in front of us.

I gripped my staff tightly with both hands and pointed it at Pitch as Eve tried to throw her ball at him, but it didn't get to him before it fizzled out.

That meant the only thing she could do was use her wand.

"You don't know what I am!" I yelled.

Eve's eyes widened about something, I was worried what it was.

"Of course I do. You're Jack Frost." He said annoyed. "You make a mess wherever you go. Why, you're doing it right now." He tossed my tooth box at me.

I caught it and my eyes widened as I came to the same conclusion that Eve had. "What did you do?"

Pitch chuckled and started to fade into the shadows. "More to the point Jack, what did you do?"

I charged at him Eve was behind me, but we were swallowed by darkness.

"JACK!" Eve screamed.

I turned around and found an ornate wall in front of me. I hit it several times. My eyes widened, "Baby Tooth!" I had left the one free fairy in Pitch's Lair. "EVE!" I screamed as I hit the wall again.

That's when I realized that the wall I was hitting was an egg emblem. I was back in the Warren.

"Happy Easter, Jack." Pitch's voice echoed.

I slowly turned and my eyes widened again, broken eggs lay scattered on the ground. "No." I whispered.
