A/N: Thank you to everyone who has supported this story! This is my first Rise of the Guardians story (that's not a cross over). I realize the chapter is kinda short again so I'll try to make them a little longer in the future. Again, thanks everyone!
Chapter 1- The First Guardian
Toothiana and Baby Tooth flew over London and, with their work done, were now heading back to the Tooth Palace. After their first adventure, Toothiana decided it wouldn't be so bad to get out in the field once in a while. Tonight she picked Baby Tooth to accompany her.
Tooth inspected the last molar they collected. "Oh look at that!" She showed the molar to Baby Tooth. "Look how it shines in the moonlight! Isn't it the prettiest thing?"
Baby Tooth squeaked in delight as she fluttered alongside her queen. Toothiana smiled and pocketed the tooth.
Suddenly she stopped, hovering in mid air. Baby Tooth squeaked in concern. Her queen was on alert. Something was wrong.
"Shh, shh." Tooth waved at her while she tried to listen. "Do you feel that?" She asked quietly.
Baby Tooth looked around but saw no threat. But suddenly there was something off. Something drawing near and near...
"Out collecting teeth again, are we?" said a voice. Both fairies whipped around to see Pitch leaning against a nearby chimney.
"Pitch!" Tooth exclaimed. "I should have known. I see you've come out of your hole. What do you want?" She put a protective arm in front of her little fairy but Baby Tooth was ready for a fight.
Pitch chuckled. "Oh don't worry, it's not the teeth or your fairies that I'm after this time. This time I'm after something much bigger."
Tooth furrowed her eyebrows. "And what could that be?"
Pitch leaned off the chimney as his eyes became dark. "Oh you'll find out soon enough. But first, I need you out of the way."
Tooth barely dodged out of the way as Pitch used a shadow whip to try to catch her. "Come on!" She cried to Baby Tooth who followed after her as they whipped past the city.
They flew through narrow streets and dodged out of the way of billboards and chimneys in hopes that Pitch would hit something, giving them time to escape.
But a shadow is not easily defeated. Pitch suddenly appeared in front of them on top of a roof. Toothiana skidded to a stop, still in the air.
"I don't know what your plan is, Pitch. But I don't intend on letting you get away with it!" She dove at him but Pith dodged.
Baby Tooth watched as they fought it out. So far Tooth only got one hit on Pitch's arm but it wasn't enough. It was a losing battle. Whatever Pitch's plan was, he was determined to see it through.
Baby Tooth was torn between saving her queen and getting help. Her mind was made up when one of Pitch's whips finally pinned down Toothiana. Baby Tooth quickly flew off in the opposite direction hoping her queen would forgive her for leaving her behind.
Toothiana watched as her little fairy flew away. "Go, go!" She said quietly as the shadow whip tightening around her turned into a chain. She struggled to get up but was helpless as the chain got tighter and tighter.
Pitch stood above her as he brought the tips of his fingers together. "One down, four to go."
