Meet The Guardians

Tooth brought up her had to her mouth and cleared her thought. Braking the small tension that was created by the silence.

"Anyway...Jack, we need you. Something has gone terribly wrong." She said as a few "mini me's" of her flew out and to Artemis. They climbed on her from both sides, Artemis's head went back and forth watching them as they crawled up to her face.

"Girls leave her-" Tooth stopped herself short as she flew over to Artemis in a matter of a second. Tooth lifted open Artemis's mouth with her helpers gently, squealing in joy.

"Oh oh!...I remember you! Your teeth were so wonderful, filled with such beautiful memories!" Tooth exclaimed smiling happily at Artemis, who only smiled un-suringly as her face was squished. Jack leaned against air watching in amusement at the two.

"Your the tooth fairy?" Artemis asked with a funny sounding voice, due to the fact her lips and cheeks were squished together. Tooth pulled away giggling sorry, and nodded.

"Yes! And i remember you, you never gave up on believing!" She said, then looking to Jack smiling.

"So many memories with him!" She said turning back to Artemis, she blushed lightly and nodded.

"Oh Jack! She needs to come with us!~ Please please!' Tooth said, now in front of Jack, her fists to her face in anticipation. He shook his head smiling.

"Tooth, isn't that your decision?" He asked smirking. She then popped herself up and rubbed her head. She laughed a little and pulled Artemis to her feet. Much to her surprise, Artemis stayed quiet, afraid to speak. Jack wrapped his arm around Artemis's waist, causing her to jump once more, glancing up at him as shivers of delight ran up her spine. Tooth glanced at them before entering the new founded portal, Jack smirked to Artemis and jumped in without warning.

She held onto him tightly, she was close to screaming if it weren't for it being so short. They were now all back to a familiars "Santa's Workshop" The big world globe lit up wonderfully. Jack remained having his grip on her as she now looked forward. There stood North, Tooth, a huge rabbit, and a small man who looked as if he was made of sand. Artemis found the big bunny rather intimidating, crawling behind Jack as he laughed lightly at her.

"Oi, whats with the lass?" The Rabbit pointed to her, his accent was as of a deep Australian, he held a boomerang of some sorts in hand.

Jack scowled at him lightly before introducing her to him. She eventually walked away from Jack and waved.

"Don't mind the kangaroo, he's a little...wier-"

"I'm a Bunny!" Bunnymund stated cutting Jack off. Normally saying you were a bunny wouldn't sound so intimidating, but yet when he said it, it did. Causing Artemis to laugh, lifting her hand to her mouth to keep it in as Jack and Bunnymund glared at each other. Then looking over at her once they heard laughter. North stepped in behind her placing a hand on her shoulder.

"Don't mind them too much, Bunnymund's got a grudge against Jack since '68" North said with his Russian accent. Artemis looked up at him and smiled. She now noticed the tattoos on his arms that read, "Naughty" and "Nice".

Artemis then looked down as a small man tugged on her shirt. She looked down to see a man made of sand, he outstretched his arm as sand floated about. Taking the form of a flower, Artemis bent down and took it into her hand gently. It then loosened and exploded, sand grained flying everywhere and floating back to the man.

"That's Sandy.." North said to her, slapping his small pals shoulder lightly.

"He eh...Doesn't talk much" North finished smiling, Artemis then glanced back over to Jack and Bunnymund, who looked as if they were about to destroy each other. Tooth's mini selves were pulling on Jacks hood, while Tooth was pulling on Bunnymund's shoulder. Artemis smiled and shook her head giggling to herself. These were the Guardians, the protectors of children. Artemis glanced back at Sandy as he pointed to her, as if reading her mind, and pointing out to her...They would protect her too from now on.

Jack huffed and yanked himself free from the little Tooth's, turning to the side folding his arms. He looked over at Artemis's smiling face, then looking away. He was trying to seem intimidating as Bunnymund hopped off towards North and Sandy. Artemis crossed over to Jack as Tooth went over with the rest of the Guardians.

"So what did you want?" Jack asked, lightly pulling Artemis over to him. North sighed and stepped forward.

"It's Pitch"
