As soon as everyone saw a now sleeping Elizabeth, they looked shocked.
"Oh my god..." Adair whispered.
"Hey guys." Jack muttered.
"W-...What happened?!" Tooth screamed, nearly waking Elizabeth.
"Shh! She fell back asleep!" Daniel hissed lightly. Tooth quickly covered her mouth.
"What did he do?" Bunny asked cautiously.
"I...We don't know exactly. We-" Daniel was interrupted by Tooth.
"W-Why is there bruises on her neck?!" Everyone's line of direction then turned to Elizabeth's neck.
"Wait. He didn't...?" Adair breathed. Daniel was quick to relieve them.
"No! No. I mean- he was about to...I think..."
"It was pretty obvious..." Jack muttered, hate filling him. Moon, he hated Dwyer so much.
"We need to get her out of here, da?" North asked.
"Probably best."
"Wait. Where's Pitch? Wasn't he with you?" Bunny said.
"I dunno. I think he's dealing with Dwyer." Jack replied simply. He really just wanted to get Elizabeth out of here...
"Death and Patrick aren't here too! I think they got lost or something."
"Should we go look for them?" Adair inquired. Honestly, she felt a bit uneasy.
"I guess. We shouldn't stay here." Tooth spoke.
"Then lets go."
.

"How did we get lost in a stupid hallway?!"
"Death, calm down."
"Then tell me, Patrick, how could we have gotten lost in a hallway?"
"...Honestly, I have no clue."
"I think it's your fault."
"What?! My fault? How?"
"...Because you told Pitch it was my idea for trapping him in a box!"
"Would he honestly believe me? Think rationally, Death."
"I am thinking rationally! Your just the idiot I had to be stuck with!"
"...Sticks in stones may break my bones but words will never hur- Ow! W-Where did you get a dictionary?!"
"See. Words did hurt you, didn't they?"
"Seriously, where did you get that dictionary...?"
"I don't know. Found it."
"Mhm..." He replied sassily.
"W-What was that?!" Death cracked up.
"What was what?"
"Were you trying to be sassy?!"
"Maybe..."He trailed off.
"C'mon, stupid," Death began, dragging Patrick, "Lets go find everyone else."
.
.
.
"Pitch! Death! Patrick? Anybody?!" Tooth called out, floating in the air slightly. She would glance at Elizabeth, but would always have to look away quickly. Tooth couldn't stand to see Elizabeth like this.
"Where could they be?" Bunny asked.
"They shouldn't be far." Adair stated.
"Oh! There's Pitch!" North exclaimed, catching his attention. Pitch immediately walked over and took Elizabeth from Jack's arms. He practically cradled her in a protective embrace.
"Where were you?" Tooth wondered.
"I could ask you the same thing." Pitch said. "I went in the direction those idiots went in, but I only saw an empty room!"
"Hey!" The twins yelled at being called 'idiots'.
"Hey, it's true." Adair shrugged, making her brothers glare at her.
"Is not!"
"Could you two stop saying everything at once? It's kinda weird."
"You and Rayne do the same thing!"
"Whatever."
"Okay, you three, stop fighting." Bunny cut in. Pitch rolled his eyes at the rabbit, and began walking off. He held Elizabeth tightly, because she looked so scared and vulnerable even when she was asleep.
"W-Where are you going?" Tooth called after him.
"I'm getting her out of here. What were you going to do?"
"O-Oh! Um..." She stuttered, before smiling sheepishly, "I guess we shouldn't stay here then."
They began walking.
.

"So...What happened to Dwyer?" Jack asked what everyone as thinking. Brave boy.
"He'll live, unfortunately."
"'He'll live'? What do you mean by that?" Daniel cut in, curiosity getting the better of him.
"Don't worry about it." Pitch seethed, making Daniel step back a couple feet.
"Okay..."
"So, where is he exactly? I wanna rip him to shreds." Bunny stated, boomerangs in hand. Everyone agreed, making Pitch's hate for them die down quite a bit.
"I don't know, actually. It's been a while since I seen him." 'On top of my daughter. Next time, he wont be so lucky to live.'
"Hm. Well, I- How did we get back here?!" Adair screamed in shock.
They somehow were back into the large room.
"Didn't we go in the other direction?" Daniel questioned to no one in particular.
"Da. We did." North stated, unsure. After a while, he felt doubt.
"Who said you were leaving? And with Elizabeth?" A voice echoed through the room, and, across from them was Dwyer.

Ooooooh! What's gonna happen?! If you all review, I'll update sooner~!
Honestly, my favorite part was when Patrick started to do the 'sticks and stones' and Death throwing the dictionary at him...Best thing I ever wrote! XD.
Love you all!
