Chapter two

"Where are they? They should be back by now," Tooth wondered as she paced nervously. Baby Tooth fluttered near her mother's head, twittering anxiously.

When Jack hadn't come home, the Guardians had started to worry. It was nearing midnight when Sandy and North decided that it was time to go searching for Jack. It was now almost 6:30 am.

Tooth was too distressed to sleep. Bunny, on the other hand, was not. He was currently dozing on North's couch. It's not that he didn't care about Jack. It was the fact that Jack would sometimes disappear for hours or even days with little to no explanation. Bunny figured that the "Frosty ankle-biter" was just fine.

For a while the only sound in the room was the occasional sleepy mutter from Bunny. The time ticked slowly by. 7:00 rolled around. Still nothing. 7:30. Nope. It wasn't until almost 8:00 in the morning that something finally happened.

North's booming voice could be heard before he even came into sight. From the sound of it he was talking to one of the Yetis. He came into the room a moment later, Sandy close behind. But, it wasn't North that woke up Bunny a few seconds later. It was Tooth.

"JACK!" she cried as she noticed the unconscious teen in North's arms.

-Interruption-

"JACK!" Tooth had cried. Bunny jumped up, instantly awake and wondering what in the bloody hell was going on.

"What in the bloody hell is going on?" he asked angrily.

"I'll explain on the way," North said as he led them out of the room.

Moments later they were on the way to the room Jack slept in when he came to the pole. "And when we landed, we found him like this." North was just finishing his explanation.

Tooth looked down at the still boy in North's arms. She worriedly asked "What do you think happened?"

"It's hard to tell. He's not hurt. Just unconscious." North said as he pushed open the door to Jack's room. The Yeti he had been talking to before had already opened the window so that the room was cold enough for Jack to rest comfortably.

The large man gently tucked the still-sleeping teen into bed. He shood the others out of the room. "We should let him sleep.," he whispers. Tooth was about to protest, but when she opened her mouth, instead of a complaint, there came an enormous drawn-out yawn.

"Jack isn't the only one who needs sleep," Bunny commented with a smirk.

"We should all get some sleep," North agreed with a yawn bigger than Tooth's had been.

Sandy and Tooth parted with "See you laters." and "Let me know if anything happens with Jack."

Bunny had decided that he was too tired to go back to the Warren and just went back to his temporary bed on the couch. North, once he was in his room, barely had time to take of his boots before falling into a deep and well-deserved sleep.

None of them could even imagine what was going to happen next.

-Interruption-

Jack woke up suddenly, sitting up as fast as his aching body would let him. Bad idea. His head exploded with sickening pain and for a moment, Jack worried he was going to pass out again.

The pain slowly passed and as it did, Jack began to notice his surroundings. He was in his room at the pole. Which meant he had been gone long enough for the Guardians to come searching for him. Obviously they had been successful or he wouldn't be in this bed right now.

There was no clock in the room, but Jack guessed it to be after dinner time. The sun was going down and shadows were starting to creep into the room. "How long was I out?" Jack asked aloud.

"Not long enough." A painfully familiar voice said. One of the shadows moved and slithering out of the darkness came... Pitch.

He smiled as he noticed the fear and shock clearly showing on Jack's face. He stepped closer to the bed, loving the fact that the boy was too afraid to move. "Oh yes," Pitch laughed,"That's exactly what we needed. A touch of fear.

As he said fear, he conjured up a nightmare and hurled it straight at Jack. The teen collapsed, curling into a ball as terrible images began to invade his mind.

Jack, in response, did the only thing he could. He screamed.

Sorry for the cliffhanger
