other guardians heard her calls and entered the globe room. They saw that the lights were going out. Luckily, only a few went out and it wouldn't take away that much power from them.

Anna, however, had other things on her mind. Although children were important and she didn't want to see them get hurt, she was still worried about Jack. She had lost him so easily, but he wasn't completely out of her reach yet. Somehow she had gotten hold of him for a moment and was desperately clinging on to regain control. She had to somehow magnify her efforts and get her best friend back. She could worry about finding out who she was later. Her number one priority for the moment was to find Jack and bring him back. Back to his normal, fun loving self.

"Can you pinpoint Pitch's location?" Tooth asked hurriedly. The fairy was too worried about Jack. They all were. They knew children were their number one priority, but Jack was also considered a child. He had barely reached adulthood when he died and forever remained in the merge of child and man. He was their baby and if your baby was sick you'd do anything to make them well again. If Pitch was causing fear, then Jack couldn't be far behind. To Pitch, Jack was like a new toy and whenever someone got a new play thing, they'd want to test it out as soon as possible.

"I'm going after him." Anna slammed her fist into her hand.

The other guardians turned to her and blinked.

"Look, Sunshine." Bunny placed a hand on her shoulder. "We all want to help him as much as you do, but we can't just barge in without a plan."

"He's my best friend. I can't let him be corrupted." She said to them. "Plan or no plan, I'm going to save him no matter what it takes." Her voice showing her determination. Before any of them could stop her, Anna flew out in search of him. It probably would've been smarter to wait for them to pinpoint the location. Oh well, she'd follow her instinct and the trail of fear. Surely it would lead her to Jack or to Pitch most likely and she could get the information she needed to find Jack.

"Why do we have to work with kids?" Bunny complained as he watched the red head fly out.

"Now now Bunny." Tooth said soothingly. "Like all children they refuse to listen. And let her go for now. We have bigger problems to worry about." She turned to the globe and a look of worry completely washed over her face.

"But if she's to be a guardian..."

"If she's to be a guardian, we must let her figure it out on her own." North spoke over Bunny. He didn't like the idea of Anna flying off like that, but finding your centre was a task you had to do on your own. He was worried about her, but she was clearly capable of defending herself from Pitch. Something inside her had almost destroyed the nightmare sand on Jack and if she could tap into that power again and reach its full potential, she could maybe have enough power to not only save Jack, but destroy Pitch as well.

She had no set destination where she was going. She was flying blind. Anna landed on a snow covered area. The cold reminded her of the friend she had lost. The friend she was determined to get back. The snow melted beneath her feet, causing her to sink ankle deep in the snow. At least it wasn't frozen water, otherwise she'd be swimming in the ice depths. She didn't hate water, but to unexpectedly plummet into it was not a pleasant feeling. Worse as it was icy cold.

"Olaf!? Please help!" She pleaded. She didn't think her dear little snowman would know what to do, but she needed someone she could talk to and Olaf was her closest friend besides Jack.

"What can a little snowman do?" A familiar voice questioned. Anna recognized it and it only brought tears to her eyes. It was that same voice that use to comfort her, now it only brought her pain. Pain that reminded her she had failed him.

"Jack?" She stood up and faced him with a longing expression. "This isn't you. Please fight it. Fight it for me, for the guardians, for the children. For you!" She begged. If Jack were to ever snap out...no scratch that...when he broke free he would be devastated and be full of regret if he done something horrible while under Pitch's influence.

He didn't seem to take in anything she said. "I'd rather embrace it." He said coldly. (Pun not intended) "It's more fun to bring fear and I don't have to worry about all the rules to be a guardian."

"You don't mean that. You're saying what Pitch wants you to say. So snap out of it, Frosty!" She pointed her finger at him. If she had to go all feisty pants on him, she will. Anything to bring him back to his senses.

"Make me...Sunflower." He challenged and struck an ice beam at her.

Anna quickly dodged and looked up at him. "This isn't you, Jack. Just let me in and we can break Pitch's hold on you." That earned another blast of ice in her direction. Anna melted it with her own sun beam.

Jack refused to listen to her words and wanted to get the job done so he could leave as soon as he can. A large round object moved around in his pocket as he jumped around trying to hit the summer spirit. All his attempts were failing and all he got were near misses or they were melted with her powers. Powers that were the opposite to his.

It was only for a moment. But he managed to gain control and retrieve Anna's memories. If he could get them to Anna, then she could find out who she was and embrace her destiny. Jack quickly shoved the box in his pocket and was immediately sent back to the confides of his mind.

"You got them?" Anna asked.

"Yes. Now lets hope we can find a way to get them back to therealAnna." He said.

The battle was a mix of hot and cold. Blasts of ice ran into beams of sunlight. Anna wasn't trying to attack Jack and was mainly using her powers as a defense mechanism. It was still Jack and the real him was in there somewhere. Seeing this was getting nowhere, Anna looked at Jack sadly and blasted at him. It him right in the stomach and it sent him flying back. Anna breathed in and out heavily and finally realized what she had done.

"JACK!" She shouted and ran over to his unconscious body. "I'm sorry! I'm sorry!" She cried frantically. She didn't mean to attack him, but he hadn't given her much option. If she didn't strike out he would've worn her out and finished the job.

Olaf had arrived at that moment and quickly waddled over to Anna.

"He's fine." Olaf placed a hand on her shoulder and then pointed with his other hand to show he was still breathing.

"You don't get it." Anna shook her head. "I could've killed him. How can I be a guardian if...if I can't even control my powers?"

"You were only protecting him from doing something he'd regret." Olaf told her. "You're not capable of hurting anyone." The snowman then turned to look at Jack and saw something glinting in his pocket. Curious, Olaf took it out and recognized the memory box. "Anna?"

The summer spirit had held herself together and let her tears come flowing down. Olaf was trying to make her better, but she was mad at herself for going so far as to hit him with such force. When she heard Olaf's voice, Anna slowly looked up and her eyes widened to see her memory box. A mosaic pattern decorated the top and on the side was her own familiar face smiling back at her. What did she have to be so happy about? There was nothing to smile about.

"Anna!" A faint voice called from the box. It was so familiar and comforting. Anna recognized it, but couldn't bring herself to know who it was that the voice belonged to.

"I think it's time you see Elsa again." Anna blinked confused at Olaf. Elsa?

The wind began to blow gently and flakes of snow were brushing against them. They seemed to ignore it. Nothing wrong with a little wind and snow.

"What do you mean?"

It did hurt that Elsa's name was unfamiliar to her, Anna never seemed to be the kind to forget her sister. She did die for her. But he supposed that's why she couldn't remember. Anna had to leave everything in her previous life behind in order to have this one.

"You'll see." He said with a faint smile.

The wind was growing stronger now and felt as if it was attacking them. Jack was waking up and from the looks of it, he was ready to fight.

"I never thought you had it in you." He faced Anna.

She quickly got up and pulled Olaf away.

"I think it's time we finish this." He said darkly and charged his staff. He then unleashed his power, knowing this would finish her.

"NO!" Olaf yelled and stood in front of Anna. His job was to keep Anna safe and he would do so. He also had to keep Jack safe and stop him from killing the person he loved. He knew. For a long time now, he knew they had feelings for each other. The two were oblivious to the idea, but the snowman wasn't.

"OLAF!" Anna called and shielded herself from the blizzard like blast. Her vision was blurring and before she knew it, for the first time in forever, her world had gone completely pitch black.
