The guardians arrived at Burgess in record speed. Bunny was the first one to get off the sleigh, and proceeded to sniff the air for any signs of Jack.
"We should split up..." Tooth suggested. She had a point. Burgess lake had loads of forest spreading around the lake itself. North nodded.
"How about...Bunny and Tooth, me and Sandy?" North said. The others nodded and split off in their groups; North and Sandy would check one half, Bunny and Tooth would check the other. They would find Jack, no matter how far they had to go.
La la la lalala la la, la lalala la lala...
Jack burst into a clearing and turned round in a circle. It was snowing, and he liked the flakes landing on his face.
La la la lalala la la, lalalalala la la...
Jack turned and saw a girl behind him, freezing to death. She was curled up in a ball and was crying, singing the song under her breath. Jack tried to touch her, but when he did, his fingers went straight through her and she screamed. Jack leaped back, and could only watch the child die. Suddenly, he saw loads of people who had died of the cold.
"No..." Jack murmured at what he saw. He saw Bunny, Tooth, Sandy and North's bodies lying among them. "I did this..." Everything flashed white all of a sudden and he found himself in a green field. He saw the beautiful grass freeze and die at his feet. He destroyed everything. Then he saw it. The creature again, but this time it was larger, and it was more of a cloud, but it still had it's eyes. Jack ran. He ran as fast as he could. The creature only taken two leaps and it caught him.
You can't run from your fears...
The creature tied him to a tree and set it on fire. Jack screamed as he felt the flames coil round his legs. Then, just as the flames reached his hips, there was water. It always ended like this. Jack relaxed and didn't bother to fight. Maybe it was better for everyone if he was dead.
La la la la lalalala la, la la la la lalalala la,
La la la la la la la la la laaa laaaaa...
Jack closed his eyes...
And woke up, trembling. His throat was dry, and having no water, the screaming only made it worse. Jack closed his eyes. He didn't have the strength to keep them open. He knew he had lost blood, and only going to sleep for fifteen minutes didn't help.
"Did you have a nice dream?" Jack opened his eyes again could feel Pitch's presence. Pitch kicked Jack's shoulder, making Jack wince. "Seems like the mighty guardians have forgotten you..."
"Stop it..." Jack croaked in barely a whisper.
"They don't care about you..." Pitch could feel Jack's fear coming in waves. The spirit let out a choked sob, " you're useless- I can see why they disapprove of you so much..." Jack felt slender fingers grab onto his throat and lift him upwards. He was trembling, and Pitch loved it.
"They have left you..." Pitch whispered and threw Jack onto the floor. Jack screamed in agony. His whole body hurt so much. The pain was unbearable. Pitch sank back into the shadows, leaving Jack shaking and wailing on the stone floor.
"Ya found him?" Bunny asked. Sandy shook his head sadly.
"Where next?" Tooth said urgently. North thought.
"How about Alaska, yes? Bunny did see him there last." North said. The others agreed. Thinking about it, Alaska was the last place Jack was seen in.
"Yeah, lets go." Bunny said. North clapped his hands.
"To the sleigh!" he cried and the guardians climbed into the sleigh.
Two minutes later, they arrived at Alaska. Bunny climbed out of the sleigh and sniffed the air. Hang on...was that scent...Jack?
"Same groups as before, yes?" Sandy and Tooth nodded. North turned to Bunny, "Bunny?"
"He's been 'ere. Follow me" Bunny said and darted off, guardians behind him. It was Jack's scent! Faint, but there. Bunny reached a mountain side, and stopped dead in his tracks.
"Bunny!" North said and ran to him with Tooth and Sandy at his side. "You found h-..." North stopped talking and looked at the sight before him. The mountain's side was cracked, and blood stained it. Tooth put a hand over her mouth and Bunny crept forward. He sniffed the blood on the side- it was Jack's. Sandy saw Bunny's expression and went to look for clues. North bent down and picked up some black grains on the floor. It hadn't snowed there for a week, so everything was almost intact.
"Pitch..." he muttered, "PITCH!" he cried and the guardians, apart from Sandy, looked his way. North shown them the black sand and Bunny cursed. At that moment, Sandy came floating back with a wooden object. Jack's staff. Tooth taken it gently and stroked it.
"Oh, Jack..." she said. Sandy made some symbols above his head. Bunny nodded.
"Sandy's righ'! We should go back ta Burgess an' find tha' lair frostbite was on about a while ago!" Tooth and North agreed.
"The sleigh!" North said and muttered, "I will make Pitch sorry he ever saw Jack..."
Jack was exhausted. His back, throat and leg hurt. The pain seemed to spread everywhere. Tears rolled down his cheeks. The darkness- it was horrible. He needed light. He needed company. Why would anybody come for him? Maybe he was better in the dark.
