Jack's point of view

It's officially been a year since our battle with pitch and since I last saw Autumn. I sit in the middle of my frozen pond contently watching the leaves float off the trees. Then I notice that they're all shades of vermilion. The lighter Autumn's work is; the less happy she is. Vermilion is one of the lightest shades I've seen. In the sky standing out against all of the dull colours are silky pastel patterns.

I spring up from my sitting position and rush off to the pole. North rarely uses the northern lights so it must be something important. The second I get to the pole I know somethings up. All of the Guardians are standing in front of the globe still as statues. I leap through the window and inspect the sphere. The lights are brighter than ever and the rotation seems fine.

"What's wrong with the globe," I say smirking when they jump.

"Good, all of the Guardians are here so I can tell you why I've called," says a familiar voice; the moon. I walk over to join the others not taking my eyes off of the crescent. "Pitch is back and strong; stronger than he's ever been," Manny says lifelessly. "The spirit of spring disappeared last night without a trace, there is no evidence but I believe that Pitch was behind it." I look over at the others, none of them showing any emotion.

"Just in case I want you to get help from another seasonal spirit, they are strong and unpredictable," All of the eyes in the room stare at me; it's making me extremely uncomfortable. "Jack, I want you to bring Autumn," Manny says snapping me back to reality. Manny disappears and I let out a long sigh.

"Autumn?" Tooth asks curiously.

"Autumn Leaves, she's the fall spirit," I say not taking my eyes at the ground.

"Where is she?" Bunny says with furrowed eyebrows.

"She's in Burgess," I say still not meeting anyone's gaze.

"You should go get her then," says Bunny with what almost sounded like concern.

"She's not exactly going to come easily," I say finally looking up. North hands me a snow globe and the sack. "Thanks," I say flatly. Before anyone could say anything else I jump out the window and fly off to Burgess. Autumn is not going to be happy.
