Black sand poured down Jack's ears and mouth,exiting his body. Hallow remained unmoving until the shadows that had entered Jack's body carefully retreated back and to Hallow's side. Hallow's eyes faded to their normal form and shine as she gasped for air. Doing this mentally instead of physically was harder than she thought,but she was glad that she was able to do it. The shadows carefully and gently loosened their grip from Jack's body. Eventually the two spirits were lowered down onto the ground. Hallow quickly wrapped her arms around Jack as he fell onto his knees and his head hung down over her shoulder. She remained still like this,not knowing if she had succeeded or not? What if she had only made it worse? Would he be the same? The two were oblivious to the world around them as Jack-O-Lantern and the Guardians had stopped their fighting as they watched impatiently to see the result.

"…Jack?"Hallow asked in a whisper. She held her breath,waiting for any response. Silence remained for what seemed like hours,but could only be for around 30 seconds. The wintery storm carefully and slowly started to die out,the wind resting as the clouds started to spread apart,showing the starry sky that they hid,along with the full moon and its glorious shine of moonlight. Jack's stiff body suddenly seemed to twitch as Hallow heard him groan. Jack carefully lifted his head from Hallow's shoulder and straightened himself as he looked up at Hallow. His eyes were no longer dull,they were bright and beautiful glacier blue,filled with life and fun as they were meant to be,however,they were wet with fresh tears as drops rolled down his cheeks. Hallow stood almost breathlessly. "J-Jack?"She asked. The winter spirit blinked a few times before he wrapped his arms around Hallow's waist,hugging her close. Hallow could only hug him back tightly as his cool temperature clashed with her body warmth to form an irresistible feeling of cold and warmth. "Jack I'm so sorry,I never knew that I had Nightmare Sand within me! I'm so sorry I-"Hallow muttered as apologies escaped her lips. But she was soon shut up as Jack pressed his lips against hers,embracing her in a loving kiss. Hallow's cheeks went pink as blood rushed to them,but she smiled and kissed back equally. The two remained like this until Jack pulled away and looked down at her,his eyes still watery.

He smiled warmly. "Hallow…thank you."Was all he could say. She had not only saved him from the Nightmare Sand,she had helped him conquer those small fears that had been bugging him: the fear of being alone,the fear of losing his family,the fear of what could of happened to his sister after his death…all was gone and resolved. He nuzzled his face against Hallow's lovingly as he hugged her closly,welcoming her warming embrace. Hallow chuckled,smiling widely. She had never been so happy. Jack-O-Lantern and the guardians took a sigh of relief as they all ran up to the two.
"Jack,you back with us mate?!"Bunnymund asked.

"Hallow,are you ok?!"Jack-O-Lantern asked. It was only then that they realized in the position they were in. Jack had ended up pulling the petit Hallow onto his lap as they were snuggling each other. Jack and Hallow's faces went red. As the guardians held in any giggle fits,the two spirits scrambled to get to their feets,brushing dust off and restoring their composure.

Jack cleared his throat. "Um,yeah,I'm fine now. The Nightmare Sand is out of my system now."Jack said with a smile as he looked over at Hallow. Hallow nodded as they turned back to the guardians.

Tooth looked over to Hallow. "Hope you don't mind if I ask but…what DID you do?"

Hallow thought. "…my job as the spirit of Halloween: I just helped him conquer his fears. They won't be bothering him anytime soon."Hallow said with a smile. Sandy gave thumbs up as the guardians felt satisfied,not wanting to end up questioning Hallow. Besides,they didn't want to ruin the moment between the two young spirits. Tooth could not help herself as she wiped off a fake tear from her eye and pulled on Jack's cheek.

"Our baby Jack is growing up."Tooth said.

Jack's pale cheeks quickly turned pink at this. "T-Tooth!" Hallow held in her laughter. But soon the warm moment was ruined as they heard a familiar voice approaching them.

"No…no no no…I had this all planned out,this wasn't supposed to end this way! There's no cure for my Nightmare Sand! There couldn't be!"Pitch yelled at the top of his lungs,obviously angry and agitated. Everyone turned to him.

Hallow stepped up. "Your power is based upon fear,Pitch. My job is to take down that fear. With that fear gone,you have no more power than just hiding under the bed."Hallow said as she held her broom. "As long as I'm around,no children will live in fear!"Hallow said. The guardians smiled as they all took out their weapons. Pitch looked at them,glaring. He was more than just angry. He was PISSED.

"Face it Pitch! You're done with."North said.

Pitch let out a broken laugh. "No…it can't be…I won't go down…not again!"He yelled,the nightmare sand surging from behind him in massive numbers. He was going to give it his all,he wasn't going down without a fight. He suddenly sent the tsunami of nightmare sand towards the group. Everyone quickly braced themselves for the wave. Just then,Jack and Hallow looked at each other and smirked. They wrapped each other in one arm as their other hand held their weapons,pointed up at the upcoming wave. The moonlight shone brightly upon them,giving them a glorious gleam,a blessing from Man in Moon. Their weapons glew brightly as they conjured up their elements. Hallow's shadows swirled around as Jack's snow and ice started to form up,the elements mixing into one,big attack.
"…ready for one more fear to take down?"

Jack smirked. "This one's easy."

With that the two let out a yell.
"CHARGE!"The two screamed at the top of their lungs as the shadows and ice mixed up into a single,powerful beam. The beam went straight up,right into the middle of the tsunami of Nightmare sand,going through with ease. As this happened the Nightmare sand was cracking as it froze to the touch,freezing just a foot away from reaching to the group. Then Hallow's shadows did their work as a huge explosion occurred within the wave,all of it surging up into the air. Next thing anyone new,the wave of Nightmare Sand was gone. In exchange,it started to snow. BLACK and white snow,shadow and ice. Everyone stared in awe as it peacefully snowed the black and white snowflakes. Jack and Hallow panted from their surge of power. When they assured themselves that Pitch had coward away,they lowered their weapons. They could hear Bunnymund cursing,on how they needed to catch him. But Hallow and Jack decided to ignore their furry friend for once as they turned to face each other. Bunnymund continued to talk to himself when Sandy tapped him,pointing then at the teen spirits as they were looking at each other with gazes full of wonder that just begged the question,'what now?'. Tooth quickly made a hush finger over her lips as she shooed off Jack-O-Lantern and the Guardians back to the sleigh,mentioning that the 'lovebirds' needed space. Jack and Hallow were oblivious to anything else besides their own gazes as the two blushed,the moonlight shinning down upon them and the black and white snow falling down on a beautiful Halloween night.

"So…"Hallow said,breaking the awkward silence.

Jack chuckled and smiled,holding Hallow's hands. "So…have you ice skated before?"

…

"Trick of treat!" Children all around were laughing and running up and down the streets. They wore costumes of all kinds and colors as they trick or treated in Halloween night. It had been exactly over 700 years to this date of the events known by the people as 'Black & White Halloween',named after the strangely colored snow that had happened that night. The strange phenomenon had been passing every single Halloween night,never failing. Kids ran around,showing off their bags of candies and costumes to their friends.
"I'm the Tooth Fairy!"A little girl said as she showed off her home-made wings.

"I'm the Sandman,I'm going to make you VERY sleepy!"Another kid laughed.

"I'm the Easter Bunny,hop hop hop!"Another kid said between giggles. Just then,events seemed to repeat itself as a familiar black and white snow started to fall upon the town.
"H-Hey,it's snowing!"

"Alright!"

The kids smiled and quickly pulled out their mittens and coats they had around,knowing that this snow would happen. As the children left their candy bags to rest and played with the falling snow,one of them couldn't help but to just stare up without saying a word.

"What's wrong?"One kid asked.
"I'm just thinking,how come this special snow only appears on Halloween? I'm curious to know why."The child said with a smile. Suddenly their conversation was interrupted by a female voice.

"So you wanna know why the Black & White snow only falls on Halloween?"

All the kids suddenly looked around,,searching for the source of the voice.

"Over here."The voice said. All the kid's heads turned to a tree. On one of its branches sat a female figure around the age of 14 or so,holding a hooked staff in her hands. She wore a purple hoodie which she had up as it covered her face. Her pants were long and black,and she wore no shoes.
"Who are you?"One kid asked. The girl smiled as she blew into her hand and a snowball formed on it.

"My name's not very important."She said as she threw the snowball to one of the kids,the kid cached it and laughed as he looked up while muttering the word 'cool'. The girl jumped down from the tree. But as she did she stabbed her staff on the ground and crouched down,resting her fee on the hooked staff as she stood on the staff with an amazing balance. She took off her hood to reveal soft features onher face. Her hair was very short and somewhat spiky,as it was white as snow. Her eyes were glacier blue,but her pupils were diamond shaped. Her skin pale,easily could be blended with the snow.

She smiled. "But I can tell you why the snow is black and white every year on Halloween."She said. The kids all then quickly gathered up.

"Can you tell us?"One asked.
"I guess I could,but it's a long story."The girl teased.
"PWEASE!"The kids begged.

The girl laughed. "Alright."She said as she jumped off her staff and sat on the ground,holding her staff close to her. The children all sat around the white haired girl as black and white snow fell all around them. "I'll tell you this story. It happened long,long ago. But let me ask you." The girl looked from side to side and smiled,asking her question to begin her story:

"Have you heard the story of the Spirit of Winter and the witch of Halloween?"
