Images of Rosy floated around him. Jack stood and watched. Her smile, her eyes, her hair…everything about her made his heart beat faster and smile goofily. He grinned as an image of him and Rosy cuddling came along. He floated upwards to me greeted by someone…Rosy! He floated towards her and she turned. She came up towards him, her beautiful face coming closer to his. They were inches apart when there was darkness suddenly. Pitch's laugh boomed though the dark room.

Jack shot up from the space he was laying in. He was still on the floor. He shook his head making his hair sway. He then stood and walked to the window; he unlatched it and then opened it. He breathed in the cold air and smiled slightly.

"Where are you Rosy?" he sighed, looking out into the distance.

Rosy woke in a dark room. She looked around slightly confused and then remembered that she was at her dads. She got up from the bed she was laying in and walked towards the door. She opened it and looked around…

…Darkness…

Dad really knew how to decorate!

She walked down the long dark hall way. She came to the main room, where she saw the globe. She walked over and went to touch it. She flinched, she couldn't? She pulled away and stared at the lights. A smile pulled at her cheeks.

"Darkness is great, but a small pinch of light is better" she smiled peacefully at the globe.

Pitch was watching and had heard what she said. Of course she wouldn't just like darkness; she was a mix between darkness and light. Her mother…was light. Pitch didn't know why he fell in love with her but he did. But then again, opposites attract.

He watched for a little longer before walking out of the shadows towards Rosy. She turned as if she had sensed him. She hugged him, similar to the hug the night before. Pitch smiled at his daughter.

"Dad…?" she said after the silence, she was still clinging to him.

"Yes my child?" Pitch's face was full of care.

"Why did Jack hate me?" a tear came to her eye as she asked. Pitch's face fell. She was still thinking of him! He thought for a second. He wasn't good at these things.

"I don't know?" which of course was a total lie! Rosy nodded and stepped away from her father. She looked him in the eye, her eyes filling with tears. "Rosy?-" Rosy ran the opposite direction as her dad put his hand out. He pulled it back as she ran. He watched her run back into the dark.

Rosy kept running. She ran out of the cave into another tunnel. She followed it to a wood. There was no bed so she figured she was in a different one to her fathers. She circled the clearing and then began to trek the wood.

She came across a town. She flew down and recognised it almost immediately. It was Burgess, the place she had met Jamie.

She hid in the shadows, watching everyone as they went around doing their business. She remembered that many can't see her so she walked away from the shadows and into the light. She came to Jamie's street and that's when she saw him. She stopped and flew to nearby darkness.

Standing there, talking to Jamie was…

...Jack frost…

Rosy watched as Jack turned to where she had stood. He stared at that spot for a while and then turned back to Jamie. Rosy flew over the building she was behind and into some more darkness, so she could hear what they were saying.

"her names Rosy" Jack said to Jamie, a smile formed on the small boy's face. Jack stared at him.

"I know her!" Jamie giggled "she's a guardian right?" he added. Jack nodded and looked away sheepishly. "that's not all she is, is it?" Jamie gave the winter spirit a knowing smile and Jack blushed. Rosy leaned in closer.

"no…" Jamie chuckled. He motioned his hands as if to say 'go on'.

"…I love her!" Rosy gasped, and then covered her mouth to silence herself. She smiled, was it true? Did he really like her? She got a happy feeling inside her stomach and she had to prop herself against the wall as she watched the two boys carry on their chat.

"so have you seen her?" Jack asked. Jamie shook his head.

"sorry Jack" Jamie added. Jack sighed.

"I need her to be back, I just can't…go on almost" Jamie nodded. Rosy decided now would be a good time to announce her presence. She took a step out of the shadows, not much but enough so if they did turn they would see her bare feet. She coughed but they didn't hear. She rolled her eyes, frustrated. She went to tap Jack but pulled back, what if he was lying and he was just sent to bring her back to North! But her heart thought other.

She blinked hard and took another step. She couldn't take it anymore so she wrapped her arms around Jack's waist. He jumped and looked down at Rosy's arm. Jamie squealed, excitedly. The arms let go and Jack turned around. Behind him was Rosy, she was looking down at her feet. Jack didn't know what to do. He threw his arms around her, taking her by surprise. He pulled her into a kiss and Jamie made vomiting noises.

They parted and just stared into each other's eyes for a while. They were pulled back when Jamie tugged on Jack's hoodie, gaining the guardians attention.

"NO!" came a voice, all too familiar. They turned to the shadows to see black sand floating out. Rosy gasped and Jack went in front of her and Jamie. Pitch came out of the darkness, looking pretty pissed off. "HOW DARE YOU LEAVE FOR HIM!" Pitch was talking to Rosy. Rosy scowled.

"I love him dad!" Rosy answered back. Jamie looked shell-shocked. Dad? I love him?

"I know, that's what I thought" Jack said to the little boy. Jamie laughed slightly and then his attention was brought back to the father-daughter fight that was about to happen.

Rosy drew out her sword and pointed it at her father. He smirked and made a whip, similar to Sandy's, using the dark sand. He knocked the sword away, so his child was defenceless. Rosy scowled at her dad. She put her hands out and made the dark sand as well. Jack and Jamie both gasped. She could make the sand? Rosy smirked at her father, quickly making a sword out of her new power. She took her stance in front of the two gawping boys. She ran up and struck the axe her dad had made. Their faces were inches away.

"you threaten him and them, you deal with me!" she whispered to her dad. She shoved her dad away so he nearly fell into the shadows. He looked at his daughter.

"if that's the way it's going to be, so be it…" and with that he vanished into the shadows. Rosy picked up her real sword and tucked it away. She then walked up to the boys as if nothing had happened. She giggled as their mouths were still perfect 'O's.

"close your mouths boys, don't want to catch flies now do we" they closed their mouths and stared at Rosy. "what?" she walked past with a smug expression. "I'm hungry" the boys followed her into Jamie's house.
