I just couldn't help but type up this chapter. I can't wait to see what's gonna happen!

I know what you're thinking. 'How can you not know what's going to happen? You're the author!', but I still don't know exactly what's going to happen. I never really know until I write it up. Get it? No? Okay. I'll explain a little. When I get an idea, I only have a very vague idea about what's going to happen. I have the general plot of the story in my head, but I don't really know any specifics. So, I basically come up with most of the story as I type it up. It seems complicated, but it's easy for me. Well, on to the chapter!

Where Is Truth When You Need Her?

Suspicions.

Oh God... She paces around her room, in very deep thought. Damn, I shouldn't have put that at the bottom... I shouldn't have written it at all. What if he doesn't love me back? What if he's weirded out now because I said that? Damn, damn, damn! She screams in her head, frustrated with herself, and losing to these doubts. As a matter of fact, she was terrified. It scared her to think of all the possibilities that could happen.

She didn't notice Pitch standing in the corner of her room. "Audrey, dear, what's wrong?" He asked, feigning a caring voice. Of course, he already knew what she was so afraid of, but he wanted an answer from her.

She flinched when she heard his voice, "U-um.." She looked at him, using her powers to make him believe her. "It's nothing Pitch, I'm fine." She said, her voice booming in his head. He simply nodded,

"Alright then. Get yourself ready, we're going to train. I'll be waiting in the training room." He says, disappearing into the shadows. She shudders. She hated how he always sneaked up on her like that.

She shook her head and changed her clothes. She put on a fitting black t-shirt with brown khaki knee-shorts. She put her hair up into a pony-tail and didn't bother putting on any shoes. She used the shadows to get to the training room. Pitch smiled proudly at her, "You're getting good at using the shadows. You need to practice using the air around you, to be able to compress and decompress the air. Change the air pressure. Try it." He said right as she arrived in the room. She sighed a little, taking in a deep breath after. She closed her eyes, slowly lifting her hands and holding her arms out. The higher she raised her hands, the denser the atmosphere became.

Then, she let her arms drop to her sides, the air becoming suddenly so incredibly thin it was nearly impossible to breath. She returned the air to it's normal pressure and opened her eyes. She released a breath she didn't know she was holding and looked at Pitch. He applauded her, "Wonderful!" He faked a smile and patted her back.

"Now, you can control the air pressure, let's see if you can change the pressure around a certain target." He made a nightmare appear, turning Audrey towards it. "Try tightening the pressure around the nightmare so it cannot move." He said.

She outstretched her arm, her hand towards the nightmare. She closed her eyes in focus, and slowly closed her hand into a fist. The nightmare wanted to whinny and rear back in fear, but it wasn't able to move. It wasn't even able to breathe. The nightmare disappeared, having been killed. Audrey released the pressure, sighing a little and letting her arm relax against her side.

Pitch grinned. Perfect.. She's the perfect weapon. With a little more training she.. no, we will be unstoppable. He pats her back, "Good job. Practice some more, and then you can rest before I give you another mission." He disappeared before she could even respond. She sighed.

"I wonder what the next mission will be.." She pondered out loud. I hope it won't have an affect on my plan. I don't want to have to change it again.

She sighed yet again, shaking her head. "This is gonna be a pain." She brings down the temperature of the air, freezing the lungs of the nightmares around her.

Pitch was in his room, sitting in a big fancy chair. He closed his eyes in frustration. What did she say to him? She wouldn't tell me.. On that last mission.. He sighed. She told me it was nothing, but something doesn't seem right. She made me swear that I wouldn't use my sand to control her,-or else I wouldn't be able to use her powers- so she could easily betray me. Damnit! I can never tell what she's thinking, and it bothers me. She could be planning something with the Guardians.. no, she wouldn't. Not if she wants to keep her Jack safe. Pitch laughs darkly. As long as I watch over her every move, she won't have the chance to betray me. Everything will go according to my plan.. and I will rule. Fear will be the norm.

Jack was bored. Haha, that's rare. He was stuck in another Guardian meeting, and he would do anything to just leave and get to Audrey. But, unfortunately, the other Guardians were having doubts. Well, some of them anyway. Namely Bunnymund and North.

"Frostbite, listen, ya don't even know if this is the same sheila! Pitch could be trickin' us!" He tried to explain calmly, but Jack just wouldn't listen.

"No, you listen, Kangaroo! I know it was her! It wasn't an illusion and it wasn't a trick!" Jack yelled, getting really tired of the 'Easter Kangaroo'.

North sighed heavily, "Jack, how do you know this is not a trick? How do you know Pitch isn't controlling her?" Jack slapped his hand on his forehead.

"You all saw the letter! And I saw her, she was in no way being controlled!" Jack shouted. "How many times do I have to tell you?!"

Sandy tried to cut in, but nobody was paying attention to him. He pouted and noticed a little elf, with a bell on it's head. A light bulb appeared over Sandy's head, inquiring that he had an idea. He grabbed the elf and shook it, causing the bell to ring. Everyone got quiet and looked at Sandy. He dropped the elf and pointed at the moon. North laughed a little, "Sandy, vhy didn't you say something?" Sandy huffed angrily, sand smoke coming out of his ears.

North looked at the glowing moon from the roof window. "Manny! Vhat is news?"

The moon shot a beam of light onto the floor, and made a shadow that looked like Pitch. North looked at the moon after looking at the shadow. "Vhat must ve do?" The moon cast down another bright beam of light, this time showing a picture, not a shadow, a picture of none other than Audrey. Bunnymund spoke up,

"Well, what about the sheila?" He asked. The moon sent another bright beam of light, this time showing the Guardians a vision. In the vision, Jack was talking to Audrey, then suddenly she passed out. Pitch appeared and took her, and he disappeared. Then, it showed Jack saving Audrey from Pitch's lair and the Guardians defeating Pitch with her help. The vision went away, and the moon light narrows to the Guardian sign on the floor.

Tooth flits by North and Bunny. "Uh guys, this means Jack was right! It's not a trick! And... Audrey is to be a Guardian." Jack smiles. I knew it wasn't a trick!

The moon disappeared behind the clouds, indicating that he was done talking. North sighed. "We should have listened to you Jack. Now! We must save Audrey!" He shouted excitedly. Jack looked at him.

"What are we going to do?" Jack asked, looking at his fellow Guardians. Sandy suggested with his sand that they somehow meet up with Audrey, but then went against it because they didn't want the vision to happen. Then Bunnymund suggested they go to Pitch's lair and sneak Audrey out. North agreed with the idea, but Sandy explained that that might ruin the plan Audrey had already formed and make things worse. Jack, of course, agreed with Sandy. And so did Tooth.

Jack sighed, seeing this 'planning' was going absolutely no where. "Well, until we think of something that will work, maybe for now I should just wait for her to show up at her home in the forest. It's something at least." He says, looking at North, then Bunny, then Tooth and Sandy. Sandy raised his hand, wanting to go with. Sandy wanted to see Audrey, since he was already acquainted with her. Jack agreed to let Sandy go with him, and North let Jack go, leaving himself, Tooth and Bunny to form a plan.

Jack leaned against a tree, talking with Sandy. Sandy mentioned with his sand that he knew Audrey, and Jack looked, well, he looked shocked.

Sandy made words out of his sand, saying that he met her soon after she became a spirit. She never told him her name, but she often asked him to give her good dreams whenever she fell asleep. Jack looked surprised, to say the least. "And you never told anyone?" Jack asked him, Sandy simply shook his head. He then explained that it was hard enough for her to just talk to him alone, he didn't want her to be afraid of him, and involving anyone else would result in many others trying to talk with her, and he didn't want her to be more afraid than she already was. Jack nodded slowly, understanding for the most part.

Then, as quick as it started, the conversation ended. Jack couldn't help but think of Audrey. He hoped she was alright, and that she could possibly meet up with him.

She walked to Pitch's room, wondering what on earth this 'Important Mission' was. Audrey sighed, just wanting this to be over already. But she had to be patient if her plan to escape this place was to work. She sighed, keeping herself calm. Getting impatient will just make things harder.

She entered the room, and looked at Pitch. "So, Pitch, what is my mission?" She asks, easily faking that she was excited for this mission.

Pitch grinned, "You are to go to Jack, test out your new powers on him. Make sure you give him a show!" He laughs darkly, and I nod, smirking.

"Don't worry, I will." She suddenly took a straight face and looked at him, using a bit of her power. "Don't follow or observe me, otherwise I may not be able to do my job properly." Her voice boomed in his head. He nodded reluctantly, shooing her off. She smirked proudly, leaving the lair.

She flew to where her home used to be, expecting Jack to be there. And of course, he was. She smiled, landing in front of him. Jack looked at her wide-eyed, surprised she had shown up so soon. She smiled at Sandy, who was there as well.

"Hello Jack, Sandy." Her voice was soft when she spoke to them, instead of cruel and cold, like when she talked with Pitch. Jack grinned and this time he couldn't help himself. He hugged Audrey tightly, and felt even happier when she hugged back. She laughed a bit, "It's nice to know you missed me too." Her voice was light and airy, just like it was back when her and Jack had become best friends.

Jack pulled back, nodding. "I'm glad you're alright!" He tenses up a bit, the looks around frantically. "Pitch isn't around this time, is he?" He asks, his voice low. She smiles and shakes her head in the negative.

"Nope, I made sure that he wouldn't show up." She responded, laying a hand on his shoulder. "Calm down, Jack." She said smoothly, her voice ringing daintily in his ears. He immediately calmed down, enjoying the sound of her voice in his head. He chuckles,

"It's amazing how you do that." He says, grinning. She laughs, and the looks over to Sandy, who apparently was trying to get their attention. She smiled at him,

"What is it, Sandy?" She asks. He makes a picture of Santoff Claussen, asking her if she would like to go there. She smiled. "I suppose I could go, though I'm not sure how well I would do around the other Guardians, but I'm sure I can manage somehow.." She said, and both Jack and Sandy cheered happily. "Although I won't be able to stay for too long, otherwise Pitch would get suspicious of me, and that would kill the plan." She said sadly. Jack and Sandy both nodded understandingly, and Jack grabbed Audrey's hand. She blushed lightly, but she didn't really get time to react before they launched into the sky, headed for Santoff Claussen.

After such a long flight, they finally made it to the North Pole. She stared in awe at the giant palace-like place. "Woah.. it's huge!" She exclaims, and Jack laughs out loud.

"It's North's workshop! What'd you expect?" He asked, smiling at her with a brow raised. She shrugged and flew up to the door, dragging Jack with her. Sandy followed along, laughing silently. Jack knocked on the giant door, the yeti Phil answering. He grumbled something, and let them in, sending a questioning look at Audrey.

They walked in, heading to North's office, where he made the ice sculptures. Audrey hid behind Jack the entire time, the loudness and crowdedness made her nervous.

Jack chuckled, understanding how she felt. He knew she would eventually get used to it, but it will probably take longer for her than it did for him. They eventually come across Tooth, North and Bunnymund. They all greeted Jack and Sandy upon seeing them return, but they all stop when they notice Audrey hiding behind him.

Jack smiles, "Come on, Drey, don't be shy. They aren't gonna bite you. Well, the Kangaroo might, but the other two won't." Jack smirks at Bunny, who shot Jack a glare in return. She peeks from behind Jack, looking at Bunny, then Tooth, then North. She looked at them nervously, definitely not used to being around so many people at once.

"H-hello... I-I'm Audrey.." She manages to stammer out. She looks at Sandy, who sends her a reassuring smile. She smiles back, suddenly feeling a wave of confidence wash over her. She steps out from behind Jack, although she still clung to his arm. Tooth was the first to speak up, glad there was finally another girl she could talk to, and one that would be a Guardian.

"Hi! I'm Toothiana, but you can call me Tooth for short. That," the colorful fairy points to the big man that Audrey assumed was Santa, based on his outfit, "is North, known to most as Santa Clause. And this," She gestured to the giant... -rabbit?- Kangaroo thing beside her, "is Bunnymund, also known as the Easter Bunny. Even though we all call him Bunny." She smiles and flutters towards Audrey, hugging her tightly. "It's so great to finally have a GIRL to talk to!" Tooth exclaimed, making Audrey feel uncomfortable again. Jack somehow managed to convince Tooth to give Audrey some space.

Bunnymund and North both greeted her, and she waved in return. Yep, it was going to take her a while to get used to this. She looked around nervously, getting a good look at the place. Soon, everyone, -including her- went to another room. A living room of sorts, it had couches and a fireplace and even a coffee table. In this room, they got to discuss several things with Audrey before she had to leave. It was nice, she finally decided, to get to know everyone and become friends with them.

Maybe it wouldn't take as long as she thought.

Another chap done. ^^ I hope you all like it!

By the way, I don't own ROTG or any of it's characters. Thanks!
