It was dark, cold and the world was all fuzzy.

Jack woke up in a small, dark, and cramped cell. His staff was no where in sight, Pitch probably had it stashed somewhere. Jack sat up and got to his feat rubbing his head. He blinked a few times to gather his bearings. Once he could see properly, he walked to the cell door that was locking him in. He peeped out of the little window in the door and saw that he was in Pitch's lair. Great.

"Have a nice nightmare, Jack?" Pitch's voice echoed as he approached the door and unlocked it letting Jack out.

"Nice try, but no." Jack said with a smug smile.

"Follow me." Pitch said and started making his way.

"Where are we going exactly?" Jack said.

"No questions." Pitch snapped.

Jack grunted. He thought of running away but he knew that wouldn't do him any good since he remembered what happened last time. He just ended up running around in circles and then somehow warped into Bunny's home! It was such a demented and disoriented place.

After walking on walls, across bridges, and on sloping floors, Pitch had turned a corner and stopped so abruptly that Jack almost ran into him.

"Go on in." Pitch said and extended a hand toward the door.

Jack had to admit, he was getting a bit scared. But he breathed in deeply and entered the room.

It wasn't a big room, nor a small one but it was empty, except for one thing. One terrifying thing.

One of the walls was made of thick, sturdy and strong black sand but was somehow transparent. But of course it wasn't the wall, it was what Jack saw through the wall and into the other room.

Jack saw North, Bunny, Tooth, Sandy and Baby Tooth (in a cage) all chained to the wall.

Jack flew over and pounded at the wall.

"Guys!" He cried.

"Jack!" The Guardians exclaimed. They sounded alright but Jack wanted to know why they were all chained.

"They are unharmed Jack. Relax." Pitch said as he entered a slim hallway that Jack had not noticed before.

"What are they doing here?" Jack said with his fists clenched.

Still in the hallway, Pitch said, "They are here because of you, Jack. Does that sound familiar? It's your fault why they are here. Yours."

Jack lowered his head and grit his teeth. He tilted his head towards his chained up friends who shook their heads 'no'.

In the cell-

Tooth whispered with her eyes shining with tears, "What are they gonna do to Jack, North!?"

"I don't know Tooth but Jack will be ok, he is a brave boy." But North couldn't trust himself, he felt something bad was going to happen. He could feel it in his belly.

"At least that bloody screen is gone. It was giving me a headache, Oi!" Bunny exclaimed trying to loosen up the environment but failed to do so.

In the other room-

"Kay Pitch, what's the catch?" Jack said turning his gaze onto the nightmare king who finally emerged from the hallway.

"It's simple, Frost." Pitch said as he raised his hand which held a little needle with a dark fluid contained in it.

Jack's eyes dropped down onto the needle. It made him woozy. He gulped. What was he going to do with the needle? What was that dark stuff in it? Did he have to inject themselves with it? The questions in his brain made him shudder. Sure, it was a small needle, but what kind of stuff could it do?

Instead of asking any of the questions swimming around in his head, and assuming that the needle was intended for him, he blurted out, "What if I don't take it? And what do my friends got to do with it?"

"I needed a motive. You wouldn't do such and stab yourself with a needle without a reason." Pitch scoffed at Jack's stupidity. "As such..." Pitch walked over toward the glass, Jack watching every move. Pitch laid his hand on a certain spot as a black electric shock traveled into the glass and down one of the chains that was containing Baby Tooth. Once the electric current reached her cage her body was shocked. Her limbs flailed out and she squealed with agony. After the electricity wore out she fell over in her tinny cage and began to shudder uncontrollably.

"Baby Tooth!" Jack cried as he pounded his fist against the wall.

Tooth stood up and walked as far as she could toward her little baby as her eyes started to sparkle with tears again. Baby Tooth was curled up in a ball and still shaking, she looked quite damaged and hurt.

Jack couldn't bear to see any of his friends go through that so he knew that there was only one option left. It's just a needle, I mean, it's just a needle... Jack thought to himself.

Pitch tossed the needle towards Jack, who caught it with one hand.

It's just a little bit of serum, but there's no harm in asking. "What's this stuff gonna do to me, Pitch?"

"Well that would ruin the surprise!" Pitch said.

"Don't do it, Frostbite! Don't do it you bloody bastard!" Bunny shouted out but quickly shut up as Pitch taunted him by placing his hand against the wall.

I have to do this. I can't let them suffer for my sake. Suck it up, and do it Jack!

Jack said to himself as he rolled up his sweatshirt sleeve showing his bare arm.

Pitch had not answered his question and won't. Jack was scared but he couldn't show it to his fellow Guardians. But he knew Pitch was feeding off of it.

With trembling hands, Jack managed to place the tip of the needle against his skin. After his hands stopped shaking he drove the needle into his skin. He winced a little. He could feel the sharp stick in his arm. Slowly and cautiously, he pressed his thumb down injecting the serum into himself. Keeping his mind clear and ignoring his friends protests.

After he had every last drop into him and took the needle out and smashed it to the floor with a shatter.

Jack triumphantly stuck up and chin and smirked and turned his gaze toward his horrified friends.

"I did what you wanted me to Pitch, now let 'em go."

"Of course. I have no need for them." Pitch said as he placed his hand against the wall making it fall along with the chains.

Tooth was the first to come bounding towards Jack.

"Jack, honey!" Tooth cried as she gave him a hug that almost made Jack fall over.

"I'm OK Tooth!" Jack said releasing Tooth.

Sandy came over with Baby Tooth in his hands followed by North and Bunny.

"Oi mate! What were ya thinking, Frostbite!? We can handle ourselves!" Bunny ranted but chuckled at the end. A hysterical and worrying chuckle by that. He knew that him and his friends couldn't bust out of the chains themselves. But the serum Jack gave himself worried him the most and he knew that was the same situation with everyone else as well.

As Bunny was thinking these thoughts. He looked at Jack again who had a saddened expression on his face.

Jack held little petrified Baby Tooth in his hands. Jack remembered the last time he did this. It was when Pitch broke his staff which he offered for Baby Tooth but chucked her into a crevice in the ice in the Poles.

Tears almost came to Jack's eyes. Baby Tooth looked so small, weak, frail and scared. All because Jack asked a stupid question. She needed help, fast.

"North! Snow globe!?" Jack asked in a panicked voice and delicately covered Baby Tooth with his palms and put his hands in his sweatshirt pockets.

North nodded and took out a glittering snow globe and threw it against the wall creating a portal. One by one, the guardians filed into the portal.

Pitch was watching this from a safe distance. He did admire how caring and selfless Jack was for Baby Tooth when he should have been worrying about himself. Oh, how should he have been worrying about himself! Finally! Pitch could finally get his sweet and cold revenge he wanted, and it had only just begun!
