Hey! I got two followers and one favorite, so I'm going to continue this story, just for the heck of it. :) So, here is the second chapter. And if any of you were confused about anything in the first chapter, just ask me. Otherwise, it might make more sense after this chapter, or in later chapters. Everything will come together in the end. Okay? Okay. So, on to the story!

Where Is Truth When You Need Her?

We Meet Again.

Jack paced back and forth in North's workshop, it was obvious he was very troubled by something. It was all about what happened about an hour ago. Jack's mind was clouded with the words that were spoken, what does it all mean?

Jack and North were having a conversation, something about freezing the elves, when there was a shadow that momentarily covered the globe then disappeared.

A voice rang out, a voice they knew all too well. "Hello Jack, North." Pitch. Jack growled,

"Pitch! We just defeated you last year, you shouldn't be alive!" He yelled. Pitch only laughed,

"Oh, but I am, Jack. I had a back-up plan all along. A new friend of mine, an old friend of yours." At that, Jack froze. 'Old friend of mine? No... Audrey?' He thought.

"Pitch, what have you done with Audrey?!" He yells, a fusion of anger and worry laced in his voice.

Pitch appeared, a smirk evident on his face. "There's no point in worrying over her, she's on my side now.

Jack's eyes widened. No... "No! You're lying!" Jack screams, and North has to hold Jack back from attacking Pitch.

"Don't worry too much, you'll see her again soon." Pitch cackles and disappears.

Jack cringes at the memory. "Why did he have to bring Audrey into this?!" He yells at himself, slamming his staff on the ground, creating a mass of fern frost on the floor surrounding him. "Dammit!" He curses, bringing his hands into tightly closed fists.

North sighs, and the other guardians look worriedly upon their wintry friend. Bunnymund takes a step towards Frost, "Frostbite, you need to calm down. We'll get ya friend back, we just need a plan. And I kinda wanna know why ya never mentioned the sheila in the first place."

Jack lets out a frustrated sigh, keeping his eyes locked on the ground beneath his feet. "We need to come up with a plan fast. We can't let Audrey just be controlled by Pitch. I... I need to save her."

Tooth flits nervously over to Jack, placing a small hand on his shoulder. "Jack.. who is Audrey? How do you know her?" Jack slowly looked up at Tooth, then looking at the other Guardians as well.

"I met her about 200 years ago..." He begins, then goes into the story of how they met.

(Jack's POV)

I was flying around, bringing winter to the world, as I always did. Then, as I was passing over a forest, I heard a voice. A beautiful voice, she was singing. I flew down and perched myself on a tree to see who the voice belonged to.

"I don't mind if you've got something nice to say about me~" The girl sang, her voice like an angel's. I took immediate notice of her raven-colored hair, and her eyes, almost like mine. "I enjoy an accolade, like the rest~" She sang.

I watched her as she flew and spun around the tree, she seemed to really be enjoying her little performance for herself. "You can take my picture and hang it in a gallery, of all the who's who's, and so 'n' so's, who used to be the best, at such 'n' such~" She landed delicately on a branch, a sweet smile on her face. "It wouldn't matter much~"

She spun around a couple times before I sent a gust of wind her way, almost making her fall over. She hid behind the trunk of the tree, peeking around it. I had to admit, she looked cute.

I walk out on air to where she can see me. I put my hands up in mock surrender, "Hey, I'm not gonna hurt you.. But I will say, you've got an amazing voice." I smile, showing her that I'm not a bad guy.

I noticed a tinge of pink on her cheeks as she came out from behind the tree, "H-how long have you been standing there?" She asked me.

I grin, "Only long enough to hear you singing that song. By the way, I haven't seen you around before. Are you new? What's your name?" I ask as I float over to her. She took a step back away from me, as if she was afraid.

"M-my name's Audrey... Audrey Lee. I-I've only been a spirit for 8 years.." She stammered, making me smile.

"Ah, so you are a newbie!" I grin, "I'm Jack Frost, the winter spirit. I've been around about a hundred years. What kind of spirit are you?" I ask, my mind buzzing with curiosity.

"Th-the moon told me I'm the Spirit of Truth and Lies.." She said.

"Truth and Lies? Hm.. well, do you have any powers?" I ask, and she simply nods. She holds her hand out in front of her, and I wonder what she's going to do. Something then formed in her hand. A little blue ball of... air? I watched as she threw it at the tree, leaving a huge crater in the tree.

Woah. How did she do that?! I looked at her, my jaw hanging and my eyes wide in shock. "I can control the air.." She said quietly. So.. does that mean she controls the wind too? Cool.

"...That was awesome! Do you have any other powers?" I asked, not able to hide the grin on my face. She giggled and nodded.

"Yeah, I do. I can tell when someone is lying and when someone is telling the truth. I can make someone believe any lie, and I can make someone tell the truth. All it takes it a touch." She smiles. This shocked me. Really? I grin.

"That's pretty cool, but can you prove it?" I ask, challenging her. She smiles and nods.

"First, I'll ask you a question, and you have to lie about it. Okay?" She asks, and I nod. "So, what did you think when you heard me singing?" She asks.

"I thought you sounded like a guy." I lie, like she told me to do. She then touches my shoulder.

"Truth." She says, and suddenly I blink a few times.

"I-I mean you sounded really pretty, and I wanted to talk to you." I blush, placing a hand over my mouth. "H-hey!" I shouts. I can't believe she actually made me say that. I mean, it was the truth but still. She smirks,

"Hey, you wanted me to prove it, so I did." She laughed a bit. I eventually started laughing with her.

And two years later... I never would have guess she would suddenly disappear like that.

Jack shook his head, looking at the others around him. They all looked confused. "So, what happened? You suddenly cut off in the middle of the story.." Tooth said.

Jack blinked. Really? He had been so caught up in the nostalgia of the memory he had forgotten about the problem at hand momentarily, enjoying the familiarity of the sweet memory. But now he was back to reality.

He sighed a little, "Sorry... I got.. caught up." He says, and relays the events of the memory, like he meant to do before.

Soon a plan was formulated, and Jack left to the place where he met her all those years ago, to wait for her to show up.

Audrey listened as Pitch complained about those 'Stupid Guardians', as he said. She played along, making sure his anger didn't get too out of hand like the last time. That time, he had gotten so frustrated about the Guardians beating him, he ended up taking out some of his anger out on her, which only added to her scars.

She definitely didn't want any more.

This day, another change in her plan came up, but it was actually a change that benefited her.

Pitch gave her a mission to give a message, specifically to Jack, even though it was for all of the Guardians. Perfect.. this is my opportunity.

She was given the message, and then she left, using the shadows. Before she left the lair though, she made a stop to her room. She picked up her own message, a letter she had prepared. After thinking about what she would say, she vanished from Pitch's lair, going to visit a place before she met up with Jack.

She got to the place she used to live, the now non-existent tree she used to reside on. She was slightly shocked to find Jack there, although it truly wasn't shocking at all. She was merely surprised to see him there. She slowly made her way towards him, nostalgia creeping up in her heart.

A small twig crunched under her foot, and she froze. She looked to where Jack was. He was in a battle stance, until he saw that it was her. He tensed up, she could see that much.

"Jack.." She started, but then she felt Pitch's presence. She had to act like she was on Pitch's side for the time being. She took a more determined stance, shooting Jack a half-hearted glare. "Jack. I'm here to bring a message from Pitch Black." She said, a harsh coldness dripping from her voice.

Jack looked at her, a saddened look in his eyes. It pained her to see him look at her like that, but she couldn't show that, not in Pitch's presence.

She felt Pitch move, he was now observing from behind her. Good. "Pitch will be rising again soon, and he will rule. Fear will be in the hearts of every child and adult alike." She said.

Suddenly, the look on her face softened. 'Jack..' She lip-synced. 'Play along.' She winked a little at him, hoping he understood. His eyes widened in shock and realization, and he winked back, letting the smallest of smile slip by.

She smiled, glad he got the hint. She used the shadows to charge up to him, and he feigned surprise, hiding that he was genuinely surprised that she moved so quickly.

She held him up by the collar of his hoodie, feigning a glare. "And trust me, when I say this:" She leaned in, whispering in his ear, "I've missed you, Jack." Her voice carried a softness and longing to it that could make a grown man cry. Those words only being heard by the winter spirit himself, Pitch of course, thought she was saying something else, because Audrey had him wrapped around her finger. What no one else saw, Audrey slipped her letter into Jack's pocket.

She let go of his hoodie, taking a step back. The fake coldness returning to her voice again, "Until we meet again, Jack." She spat, then disappeared into the shadows.

Jack was honestly speechless. She had changed so much... yet she still remembered him. And she even said she missed him. He flew up into the sky and sped to North's workshop. He couldn't deny he was happy that she wasn't being controlled by Pitch, but why was she pretending to be siding with him? It was confusing. He had to talk to North about this, before they went any further in the plan.

Jack burst into North's workshop, "North! You have to get the others here, before we go any further with the plan!" Jack shouted, going up to the Russian.

North looked at Jack, "Vhat? Vhat are you talking about, Jack?"

"Something happened, something totally unexpected. I'll explain when you get the others here!" Jack said, waving his hands around frantically.

North sighed and turned on the Aurora Borealis. (A/N: Northern Lights are also known as Aurora Borealis, in case you didn't know.)

It didn't take too long for Tooth, Bunnymund ans Sandman to arrive in the globe room.

Bunnymund spoke first, "Is something up? What's going on?" He said, holding an egg and a paintbrush.

North pointed to Jack, "He said something urgent happened that he must explain before ve continue vith plan." North explained shortly.

All eyes were on Jack.

He took in a deep breath, and relayed everything that happened just earlier.

Everyone was surprised, to say the least. As Jack waited for someone to say something, he moved his staff to the crook of his elbow and shoved his hands in his pocket.

His eyes went wide when he discovered something in his hoodie pocket.

He took his hands out of his pocket, holding a folded piece of paper. "Oh my God.." He whispered. Tooth flitted up to him,

"What is it Jack?" She asked, gesturing to the paper. He unfolded the paper, his eyes only going wider.

"It's... a letter... From Audrey.. she must've slipped it in my pocket!" He said, realization flooding over him. So that's why she had me by my hoodie.. it was so she could slip this in my pocket.

He read it, first to himself and then out loud for the others.

Dear Jack,

I couldn't explain this to you before because Pitch was watching over me. But here in this letter, I will explain everything. I'm so sorry that I suddenly disappeared all those years ago, Pitch had captured me and tried to bring me to his side. He asked me to join him, day after day, and I refused every time. I was held prisoner, chains of black sand drained my powers, so I had no means of escape. After the last time you and the Guardians defeated him, I saw my chance for escape. He asked me to join him, and I agreed, only on the condition that he wouldn't use black sand to control me. I've made it so that he honestly believes that I am on his side, even though I'm not. I've got my powers back, and I've been using them on him so he'll believe me. I have a bit of a plan, but I will need the help of you and the Guardians. I need you all to play along, act like and treat me like your enemy. And when the chance comes, I'll convince Pitch that I never existed, and I can escape him. Please, this is the one favor I ask of you, if only for my freedom. Until we meet again.

Sincerely and truly, Audrey

Jack blinked, only then did he realize he was crying. Well, kind of. His tears froze as they streamed down his cheeks.

He looked up at the other Guardians, all of them seemed somber. Then, North piped up excitedly. "Idea! Ve help Jack's friend and defeat Pitch once and for all!" He said. Tooth nodded,

"Me and my fairies will help!" She said, smiling.

Sandy gave a thumbs up and nodded, a smile plastered on his face.

Bunnymund smiled, nodding. "Alright, we'll help the sheila."

Jack smiled, rubbing his eyes. "Okay! Let's come up with a plan.." He said, suddenly happy again. He was going to save Audrey. That was really all the motivation he needed.

It was later that evening, and Jack had decided to stay in the room North had for him in Santoff Claussen. He was sitting on the window sill, the window open and the cool breeze flooding into the room. He couldn't sleep, not when he was thinking about Audrey, and if she was okay.

"Don't worry Audrey.." He whispered. "I'm coming to save you.." He clenched his fist. "Pitch will never get away with what he did to you." He said, if only to assure himself.

He looked up at the moon. He sent a glare at it. "Why didn't you tell me? All that time I was searching for her, and you didn't even give me any help! Not a hint, a sign.. nothing." He looked down at his hand, then back up at the moon. "She went through so much pain.. if only I had known, I could have saved her much earlier.."

He took the letter out of his pocket, reading it over again. He read that paragraph over, and over and over. He was hoping, wishing that there was a secret message of some kind. He looked at the bottom of the page, noticing something he hadn't seen before. At the very bottom of the page, in very small letters, he could barely see what it said.

That little sentence just changed his whole world. It made him want to find her even more.

Just that only little sentence, in the tiny little letters.

It was written so small, it was almost like she didn't want him to see what it said.

P.S. Jack, I did, and I still love you, I only hope you can return my feelings.

That's the end of the chapter! I know, it's a cliffy, but it's a good cliffy. Yah? Yah. Well, I'll be writing the next chapter soon, so stay tuned! Send in those reviews!
