I don't own anything

A/N: This chapter...mixed feelings for this one. I both love it but I also think that I might be unvailing a little more than I should...Tell me what you think, R&R people.

"W-What?" I asked again "N-no she can't be gone. I told her to get out of here, she can't be gone." Bunny sighed "Pitch took her coming out mate." I ran a hand back through my hair worry filling by body with a strange taste of guilt.

"No, no, no, no this isn't happening." I said "You guys just played a prank on me...yeah, that's it. Vanessa's gonna come out of that door any moment now." I looked toward the door, hoping, praying that it would swing open and Vanessa would be standing there with that beautiful grin on her face and say 'Got ya.'

I looked between the door and North frantically, "She can't be gone." I said in a hoarse voice "She can't." tears brimmed my eyes, threatening to spill down, as I sank down on the floor.

"Jack," North said "She is gone." I shook my head, "No...no she can't be North. I told her...I told her to get out to avoid this!" Tooth looked down sadly "I can't believe it," she said "Pitch actually took her...what do we do now?" she asked.

"We go get her." I said, my voice getting stronger, my sorrow filling on with anger. "We gather the other spirits, get to Pitch's palace and get Vanessa back." I stood up, my eyes blazing.

North gave a full bellied chuckle, "What we wait for then? Let's go!" I smiled slightly, for two things. One, I'm getting Vanessa back and two, I'm going to kick Pitch's ass when I see him.

They started to walk toward the door when Bunny grabbed my shoulder, "Question." He said, his emerald-green eyes staring a hole in the back of my head "Do ya love 'er?" he asked.

I turned around to meet his gaze "Do I love Vanessa?" I asked myself more than him. "Yeah," I said quietly at first "I would do anything for her, anything to protect her, anything to...anything to save her from any threat. So yeah, I do love her. Hope that answers your question." I replied with a cocky smile.

Bunny smiled as if he knew something I didn't, "Well," he said "Suppose we should get her back then." I nodded and looked at the rays of sunlight that now flooded into the tower.

I really did love her, I really did. She's just so... beautiful. Not just her appearance, but her personality. She's feisty, she's sarcastic, she's stubborn, she's just...wow. Golden blonde hair, that I could have sworn sparkles in the light, bright green eyes that I sometimes think hold a hint of gold. A strong, lean build with muscle and tanned skin. She screams summer, as much as I scream winter, we're different. As different as Summer and Winter, to be exact. But God I love her, might not have known it but I always did.

"Jack, you coming?" Tooth asked, I snapped out of my trance and nodded "Yeah." I said catching up with them "So, who's first on our list of spirits?" I asked. "Ze person who can help us the most. One of the wisest spirits ever, she was actually a few years younger than Vanessa. Much older when she died though, she was young."

I looked at North "Mother Nature?" Tooth asked "I thought she was around longer than~" North shook his head "Mother Nature only became a spirit when people started to hurt the earth, she came to protect it."

I nodded, "So, where is Mother Nature?" I asked, Tooth shrugged along with Bunny. I looked to North, who smiled "Not far."

My feet ached as we all walked along the roads of London, "Are we there yet?" I whined. Bunny grabbed his ears "No!" he shouted "We aren't there now and we weren't there two minutes ago when you last asked."

I smirked lightly when Bunny asked "Blimey, how much farther North? My feet are burning." North sighed as we reached a small house that worked its way into the trees and the dirt cliff thingy.

A woman came out, with either really dark tanned skin or really light dark skin. She had fizzy red hair and one dirt brown eye and the other a vibrate green. She smiled laying the basket that she was carrying on her hip. "North, what a surprise. What brings you~ what's happened?" she asked when she saw our faces.

"Pitch, happened." I said, my voice laced with bitterness. "Sorry, I'm Jack Frost" I introduced myself, setting my staff on my shoulder. She smiled "Mother Nature. But most people just call me Tessa (I'm smiling right now, because I just thought of this)"

"Okay, Tessa." Bunny said looking at the woman "Pitch is back, he has destroyed Father Time and Sandy, and most recently kidnapped our friend and newest guardian Vanessa Summers."

Tessa's eyes widened through out Bunny's speech, "Vanessa?" she asked "Vanessa Summers, she spirit of Summer." I nodded, staring at her. "A-and Pitch stole her? Pitch Black."

"Yes." Tooth responded, Tessa shook her head; once, twice, thrice. "Can...can I take a minute?"she asked "I mean you don't just expect me to be okay with everything once you dump it on me."

I smiled slightly, I guess I could never fully smile now. "You in?" North asked her. Tessa looked to North something flashed in her eyes, "North..." she said "C-can I talk to you for a minute?" she asked.

North nodded as if they had an unspoken conversation, Tessa smiled at us "The rest of you can go inside, make your selves at home. There are brownies on the stove and water somewhere in there."

Tessa ran a hand through her fizzy red hair, "I can't do this North." she said to her jolly friend "I-I just can't. T-t-to see Pitch...again, after all these year. Two hundred and...gosh I don't even remember. W-what if something happens?" she asked him.

North sighed "Tessa, you worry too much. Pitch is cold, dark, and has a horrible sense of humor." Tessa smiled, a far off look in her eyes "Not the way I remember it," she said "He always had a great sense of humor. Passed it on to Eriana, to." A shadow fell across her eyes "Oh, Eriana. Oh god I miss her so much."

North looked at her, something not quite right in his eyes. Tessa caught it "North," she said looking at the man "Is there something you want to tell me." North shook his head nervously "No." he said, Tessa weeded out his lie.

"Fine. If you won't tell me, I'll figure it out on my own. I always do." Tessa replied with a smirk.

I walked into the kitchen, looking at the many pictures on the wall. "Frozen memories." Tessa said walking up behind him "Back when I was mortal, they didn't have camera's."

I looked at all the different photo's, one of when Tessa was young. Her skin was light and both eyes were the same bright green. She was laughing sitting by a pond, the sun setting in the sky.

The next one was with her and...and a girl. She had pitch black hair and bright green eyes, so...so familiar. "Eriana." I whispered under my breath, the young girl coming to my memory. She was my first seer, but then...she died.

Tessa looked down at him, smiling "My daughter, I never knew her. Well I knew her, but not really. When I died, she was only five...maybe four even." I blinked at the picture. "She turned out great," I said, my eyes locked on the bright green of Eriana's eyes. It rang a bell in the back of my mind, you know the feeling you get when you know something, but you can't remember it.

"You knew her?" Tessa asked me, I nodded my head slowly "I was having some fun, frosting a forest, when I saw her crying on a rock. I asked her what was wrong, she looked up at me and said some snark remark." A smile found its way to my face remembering the memory.

"She had run away from home, her father had always kept here there. Never letting her have any freedom, always making sure she was safe. She got feed up with it and ran away."

Tessa looked up to me, "Did you ever find you who her father was?" she asked, I shook my head "It never was something she wanted to talk about." Tessa wiped a tear from her eye.

"So, Vanessa Summers? What's she like?" she asked me as we walked down to the kitchen. "Beautiful." Was the first word that I blurted out, a blush now forming on my cheeks.

Tessa smiled at me, "You like her then?" she asked. I smiled down at the floor "Yeah. I do, I really do. Not at first thought, at first I thought she was a pain in the ass. But then..." I trailed off hoping she would get the picture.

Tessa smiled again, "Well, when you find her you need to tell her. Or else it'll be too late." Sorrow fell over her eyes, I looked down at the floor "So, what do you think about Pitch?" I asked her.

Tessa looked up "Pitch Black. I don't know, Jack. He wants power, he wants to be believed in. That's all he wants Jack, and I have a feeling that your friend has something to do with it."

Oh and I forgot something...LOKI'D!
