By End of Grace

A/N Thanks for the reviews guys. Can't believe I've got over a hundred now! You guys rock! I have not read the books and what happens in the chapter is simply me playing with the characters. I do not own rise of the guardians but if I did I would have more North and Bunnymund moments!

Chapter 12

Tooth had flown with Jack all the way back to her palace without stopping. Once they were in the main hall, Jack collapsed taking in deep breaths while Tooth flattered around in a panic.

"He's back! he's back, what am I going to do? What does he want?"

The Baby Teeth floated in to the room to try and comfort Tooth as she whizzed around the room. Jack got back up to his feet and flew up to Tooth taking her hands in his, forcing her to stop and look at him.

"Tooth, what's wrong? Who's back?"

Tooth looked conflicted for a moment, biting her lip and looking to the floor. The baby tooth's came a bit closer, chirping encouragement to their mother. Tooth sighed as she rubbed her beck.

"Come with me Jack"

Tooth and Jack floated down the many hallways of Tooth's palace before walking in to a large courtyard filled with statues. Most were females that looked like Tooth, with beautiful wings and at the end of the walk way was a statue of a human man holding one of the female's hand's.

"How much do you know about me Jack?" asked Tooth as she brushed down the statues, pulling away ivy. Jack rubbed the back of his head and shrugged. "I'm not surprised. I don't really like talking about the past. You see Jack, my father, Haroom, was a slave to a very selfish maharajah who was also a skilled hunter. One day he and my father came across a flying elephant, that protected of the sisters of the wind. When the Maharajah saw them, he thought them a better prize to take back and went to kill one of them. My father did not want that and step in to the line of fire, the arrow pieced his chest. My mother took the arrow out and kissed the wound, healing it and saving my father's life. That when they fell in love." smiled Tooth as she gazed at the two statues of her parents.

"What happened to the Maharajah?" asked Jack.

"Because of what he had almost done, the sisters wanted to kill him. But my father beg for them to spare his life. They agreed only if he left everything behind, his weapons, his clothes, the machine he traveled there in, but most importantly his vanity and cruelty. He agreed and the flying elephant came down and sucked it all out of him, when it was finished the Maharajah was nothing but a monkey. He left, my parents married and a year later I was born, and I was born human. So my parents moved to a human village so I could make friends. When I lost my last baby tooth I changed in to the person you see now, it did not bother my parents nor did it bother my friends, but the villagers driven mad by fear demanded that I be locked up and sent away. My parents and I moved to the jungle to be safe but the villages hired hunters to come after us. One partial hunter had my parents captured and had word sent out that if I did not show myself he would kill them. I came to rescue them and they fought with me but in the end they told me to go as we were out numbered. My mother gave me a bag containing shimmering ruby box with a note and my baby teeth. The note told me about how teeth held the memories of that person, their hopes and dreams. my parents..."

"They were killed, weren't they? By the Hunter?"

Tooth only nodded as she continued her tale. "I spent a long time grieving in the jungle, the animals and my friends tried to cheer me up, but the children from the village were growing up where I was not. So I started to collect they teeth to help them remember their kindness and such. To hide what we were doing from their parents, they would hide their teeth under the pillow and I would exchange it for gold or a precious stone. But the parents soon caught on, and summoned the hunters to get rid of me once and for all. I was on my nightly rounds, I was meant to pick up someone's teeth but when I got there it was the Hunter! Suddenly metal bars fell around me, it was a cage to trap me in, and I had fallen for it. The children beg for me to be released but the Hunter had told the parents that he was going to sell me to a carnival as a freak and he would split the wealth with them. He and his men took me all the way back to the palace of the sisters of the wind. When they asked him what he wanted, he revealed that he was a monkey, more to the point he was once the Maharajah that was turned in to one. He told them he had killed my parents in revenge for being turning in to a monkey and was about to kill me when my ruby box glowed. Suddenly the cage was gone and I had all my mini fairies around me. They, the sisters and the jungle animals attacked the monkey king and his monkey minions. I went to kill the monkey king and almost did too, but the memory of my parents stopped me. So I let the jungle decided his fate. His screams could be heard all the way to the moon. The sisters told me when one of them died they all died, and that I was now the ruler of this place and that's when they turned in to statues."

"So, this is it! This is your family?" asked Jack staring at each of the statues. "And the doctor at the hospital? It was the monkey king?"

Tooth nodded "I didn't image I would ever see him again. I don't even know how he has been come human again"

"We don't know if that's the case Tooth. We're able to turn human with our bracelets, maybe he can do the same? But what is he doing in a hospital pretending to be a doctor for?" Jack wondered running his fingers though his hair.

"Who knows? But it can't be good" said Tooth as she floated down in the floor in fount of her parents. "He won't be able to get here again of that I'm sure of. The way was lost long again and only people that can fly or have some ability to teleport can get here"

"Well that's some relief for you then Tooth. Look, let me fill Bunny and North in on what's going on, since we don't know what he's up too we might as well continue as if nothing is wrong until he makes his move"

"Your right Jack. The children still need me, so I best get to work, with yesterday and this morning I'm starting to fall behind. Give my best to North and Bunny"

Jack nodded, and turned to Tooth's parent's statues and taped his cane on the floor in fount of both of them, creating two beautiful ice roses. Tooth gave him a quick hug and a kiss on his temple.

"Later Tooth, and try not to worry too much ok?" said Jack as he flew off leaving Tooth alone with her mini fairies.

North was sitting on a bank of grass outside Bunnymund's home in the warren a large drawing pan in his lap and charcoal in his hand. He and Bunny had discussed about rebuilding his rabbit hole so it was more suitable for them and their family to be. North did not mind waiting for children with Bunnymund, there would be time for that. Besides they have their hands full with Jack at the moment. North tried not to think about Holly and went back to drawing. Bunny was off doing the rounds at the moment and would be back any moment. Now that Bunny was out of heat, their wild sex life had calmed down, so they could take their time and explore one another without Bunny begging to be taken. North knew all of Bunnymund's sensitive places, what to do to make him moan and knew that Bunny's favorite place to have sex was out in the open. It was the thrill of getting caught or simply because he was a rabbit, North suspected it was a bit of both. Two furry paws covered his eyes as two furry lips pressed against his own.

"Guess who?"

"Jack Skellington?" joked North as he pulled Bunny's paw's away.

"HA, He wishes Mate" said Bunnymund sourly as he sat down on his hunches next to him, peering at the drawings. "Looking good Mate, but why a work room? I do most of my stuff out here in the open?"

"I know, but I thought it would be good to have a storage work place, for you when your mixing paints and such. It's not really a good idea to have so many paint cans around a kitchen"

"I guess. I see the master bedroom is the biggest room in the place" smirked Bunnymund. as he kissed North on the cheek. "Let's see, a room for Jack..no problem. Why do I need a guest room?"

"In case of guest staying? You never know"

"I guess, but since you throw all the parties at the pole most people would crash there. Besides too many people here would ruin it, don't you think?"

"True, so you wish me to remove it?"

Bunny thought about it and then shook his head "Nah Mate. Besides like you said you never know, plus we can always change it later if we need to."

North nodded in agreement as he placed the pad and charcoal down. "It's so peaceful here and quite. The only time the pole is this quite is on Christmas eve or when everyone is a sleep"

"Give it a few days and you won't be saying that. Although it's beautiful its empty, at least at the pole you have the yetis and the elves. I have my stone guards sure, but they're not really good conversationalists"

"I'm here now Bunny and I promise you, you will not be lonely again" said North knowing Bunny was referring to his people, the pooka. Then a thought came to North and he turned and faced Bunny. "Would they have approved of me?"

"Who?" Asked Bunnymund wondering what North was on about.

"Your people Bunny, your family and your masters and students. Would they have approved of me?"

Bunny's mouth dropped slightly as he frowned in thought, eventually he sighed as he rubbed his chin.

"I don't know is the honest answer. It wasn't unheard of, that a pooka took another person of another race but it wasn't considered normal. My Masters would not have care and would have been happy for me. Ma too if she was alive, she would have been thrilled over your cooking, I know that. But My father and my brother? No way. If it wasn't traditional or right they were both against it. You being a guardian and a holiday leader would work in your favor but the moment they would find out your human? Forget it. Hell, even the fact that your male would not have been the problem."

"Gender would not have mattered?"

"No, as long as one of us got pregnant they would not have been upset. Once my father found out my preference he organized a small party for his friends and their sons. It was nothing sort of a find a suitable mate party and everyone knew except me. When I found out, I left, I was so annoyed and embarrassed. I think that was the last time I spoke to my father thinking about it. Pitch attacked a day or two later and I was ignoring him. Seems a little silly now"

"Not really. You thought he was taking away your choice, you had a right to be angry"

"Well his idea or what was good for me and what actually was were always different things. What about you? Would your family approve of me?"

"I was an orphan growing up on the streets before a good man took me in, and showed me how to make toys. Don was a good man and I think he would have like you. Later I met my Mary, well you know how that ended. Then I became guardian and you, Jack and Hol...you and Jack and the others became my family and they have all given us they blessing."

"Then that's all we need" said Bunny as he kissed North again as he wrapped his arms around North shoulders. North wrapped his around Bunny's waist and pulled him closer as they kissed deepened, letting out a deep moan as he fell backwards pulling Bunnymund on top of him. They were both planting chaste kisses on each other's face and neck that they didn't noticed Jack coming towards them until.

"Whoops! Sorry guys" laughed Jack as he landed a few feet away from them. Both groaning in annoyance as Bunny climbed off of North and sat back on his hunches' glaring at the guardian of Fun.

"Not funny Snowflake!"

"Jack, not that we're not happy to see you, but what do you want?" asked North sitting up, brushing grass out of his hair.

Jack became sober as he got closer "We took Holly's stuff to the station, the place was quite because the police had been roped in to helping at the hospital. Turns out during the night a load of snow fell on it and someone had let loose a load of dogs in the children's wing"

"Someone other than you is causing trouble?" said Bunny with a small smirk.

"Ha ha very funny but yes. The snow was only on the hospital and nowhere else and no one knows how the dogs got in there without being seen. So me and Tooth decided to go and check it out, in case of it being a spirit or something. We split up, me like this and Tooth in her human foam to cover more ground. When alone Tooth bumped in to a doctor, a big one with a hair face. Turns out he knew what she was and started to man handle her"

"Is she alright?" said North suddenly alert and leaning forward.

"Yeah she's fine just a bit rattled. She was able to escape because her bracelet broke. Turns out this doctor is the Monkey king, a really jerk that killed her parents"

"The Monkey king? What on earth is he doing back? and as a doctor?" asked Bunnymund looking at North who was stroking his beard.

"The doctor who caught us in the hallway, the one that knew our names. It was him! Who knows what he is up too, could he be the one causing trouble at the hospital?"

"I doubt it North" said Bunnymund "Other than being a bloody brute that guy has no powers to speak of. An ally maybe?"

"In the past Pitch and him have worked together. And since Monkey King has a human form we can assume it was Pitch that gave it to him" said North as he stood up looking at Jack. "Jack could you go back to the hospital? Find out if there is another spirit there and wither or not is working for the Monkey. Bunny and I will go to the dream castle and speak to Pitch and Sandy. See if we can get answers from him"

Jack flew off as Bunny stood up and North put on his large coat. "Why do I get the feeling this is not going to end well Mate?"

"Because I have the same feeling in my belly Love. Come one, let go"

The Monkey King sat in his human office, in his true form looking over a very old piece of parchment at his desk. Although his face and hands still had their human colour the rest of his body was covered in thick black hair, much like his beard and moustache. His dark eyes gazed sadly at the faded picture in fount of him. It was of a young man in Asian clothes, with a bow and arrow tied to his back and a sword to his side. Dark hair peeked out from under his turban and bright kind eyes stared back at him. The Monkey King sighed as he folded the picture back up and tucked it safely back in to his chest plate. He leaned back in to his chair, resting his hand over his heart were the picture laid.

"Not long now my love. Now that I have the snow globe I'll be able to get to that freak and get you back. Then I'll be able to get the wish granter's memoires and use them against her to bring you back. And if she can't, well, human science will help me. Just wait a little longer."

There was a small knock on the door and a tall white monkey in armour stepped in. He saluted.

"Sir, The army is ready and is waiting on your orders sir"

The Monkey King stood up slowly as he took the snow globe from his desk, and shook it to Tooth's palace. Steeling his eyes and standing up straight he barked his orders.

"Tell them to prepare for battle. The fairies are quick and tenacious so to be on their guard. They must be all captured "alive". The Freak is mine! No one else's. Have a small squadron ready to search the towers for the wish granters memories. We will need them for our plan to work"

"Do you really think she will come?" the white monkey asked "Why don't we just take her now?"

"No! If we try force on her do you really think she would grant my wish?" snapped the Monkey king "Besides once the other guardians know she is here, they will take her to the Freak's palace anyway. Then once my wish is granted, I swear on my life I will kill that bitch Toothiana"

With a swirl of his cape, the Monkey king and his general left the hospital and its grounds.

Jack was flying towards the hospital quickly hoping to get this over with sooner than later. After Holly's death he had hoped he would never step foot in that hospital again, and here he was going there twice in a matter of hours. He had liked Holly, thought she was smart and brave, was great at giving hugs and was a good listener. He felt a tightness in his throat as he flew lower as he approached the building.

"Frost! Hey Frost! Down here!"

Jack looked down to find the Groundhog waving his arms like a lunatic trying to get his attention. After his stunt at the pole Jack would have been happy to ignore him, but now since he was a guardian he couldn't. Muttering a curse under his breath Jack descended quickly, the guest of cold air knocked the groundhog to the floor.

"What do you want rat face?" asked Jack crossing his arms against his chest. The groundhog got up and brushed the dirty off his fur.

"I suppose I deserved that for the other day." he said

"You deserve a lot more but I'm in a rush. So what do you want?"

"Your here to see about that new spirit aren't you?" smirked the Groundhog rubbing his paws.

"You've seen it?"

"I've seen HER, yes. A wish granter too, very rare for a spirit"

"Rare? Wish granter? What are you on about?"

"Hasn't North taught you anything kid? Us spirits are put in to different categories depending on what we do. Holidays, season, service, darkness and the rare kind the wish granters. And I'm not on about Lucky or Aphrodite granting the odd wish, this spirit very reason for being is to grant peoples wishes. Holidays are like myself and North. You are a season spirit while Tooth and Sandy do a service to the children of the world. Pitch well is goes without saying which one he is"

"Ok, I get it, this spirit is a big deal. But why start causing trouble now?"

"Well she only woke up a few days ago kid. She hasn't gotten a hang of anything yet. Probably doesn't even know what she is"

Jack could relate to that. When he woke up from the lake and started freeze things it had freaked him out at first but he soon got use to it, but when he asked questions to the moon and received no reply it was heartbreaking. The Groundhog rubbed his neck and looked worried as he looked at Jack.

"Look Kid, this is going to be hard for you and the other guardians to hear but I got to tell you, it's about the new spirit"

"What is it?"

"Its Holly"

Jack's mouth dropped and his eyes widened for a moment but then he frowned deeply as he grabbed the Groundhog by his chest fur and started to shake him.

"That's not funny hog. Your sick thinking..."

"I'm not lying kid! I saw her with my own two eyes. Petite and slim with brown hair and green eyes. Only now she also has a green wreath in her hair and two small feathered wings on her back."

Jack let him go and the Groundhog watched as a bright smile appeared on his face. "She's back? She's an angel! This is awesome" he laughed as he did back flips.

"Yeah but kid that's not all"

"What? Is she ok? Is there something wrong" asked Jack now looking very worried.

"She doesn't remember"

"What? that's she died?"

"No...she doesn't remember anything. Not you or North, nothing of her old life. As far as she is concerned she's only just been born and the moon only told her, her name"

"She's like me, when I first woke up, I didn't remember anything either" said Jack rubbing his face. "Oh man, she won't even remember North! He'll be even more heartbroken!"

"Well, better it come from you then me kid, he probably kill me for sure if I told him!"

"Yeah...thanks! You know for telling me!" said Jack rubbed the back of his head feeling a tad awkward as the Groundhog shrugged.

"Don't mention it. I mean it, don't! I have a reputation to keep, and if anyone thinks I'm going soft, it's your backside I'll come after. Now go and get your sister before she causes anymore trouble!"

Jack nodded as he ran in to the hospital yelling out goodbye and thanks as he did so.

It had been over an hour now, and Jack was no nearer to finding Holly then he was when he entered the building. The children in the kids ward were all happy to see him, but when he asked about an angel the children all shook they heads. They knew someone was granting their wishes but they didn't know who. He looked in on Ben's private room where she was shot, the roof and anywhere else he could think off. He was in the lower basement now, when he heard the sound of bells. They rang sadly down the empty corridor as Jack followed the sound. He stopped outside a large door and felt his heart sank. The Morgue. Slowly he opened the door and walked in. The room was a lot cooler than he expected as he walked in. A small lamp at a desk had been left on, so Jack could moreover about without knocking in to anything. There were Three long tables, Two of them holding a body, were covered in long white sheets while on the end one curled in a ball was Holly. Jack slowly approached her, not wanting to scare her. "Holly?"

Slowly her eyes opened as her wings fluttered behind her as she stared at Jack. She stared at him curiously as she sat up.

"Can you see me?" she asked as she came off of the table and walked up to Jack. She raised her hand gingerly as she touched his face, brushing away his hair from his eyes. "I can touch you...are you like me? and that noisy thing outside?"

Jack nodded, he wanted to answer by his voice wouldn't work and his eyes were stinging with tears. Holly noticed this and bought him in for a hug, gently stroking his back. "What's wrong? Have you just woken up too?"

Jack shook his head as he pulled away, as he touched Holly's cheek "I'm just really glad to see you Holly"

Holly gave him one of her bright smiles as she ruffled his hair "I'm really glad to see you too, but you have me at a disadvantage I'm guessing Noisy outside told you my name but I don't know your name?"

Something sharp went thought Jack as he forced himself to smile back "My name is Jack Frost. What are you doing down here Holly?"

Now Holly looked uncomfortable as she brushed her bangs out of her eyes. "I woke up down here, a few days ago. I was laying here on this very table, the cloth that was covering me turned in to this dress I'm wearing. I ventured outside and saw an orderly and asked him where I was...he walked right though me. I tried everything from shouting and jumping around in various wards but no one noticed me. Has that ever happened to you?"

"Yeah it has. It's because you're not believed in by children. Belief is what gives us strength and what allows us to be seen"

"Well, I wondered though the hospital when I saw a small girl holding a doll that looked a bit like me but with golden hair. It was a Christmas Angel and she was asking for it to snow, because she had missed it during her confinement. The bells on my wrist began to rang and I felt my whole body tingle. I went to the roof and felt this over powering need to sing. So I did, and it started to snow. That's when I saw it, the moon. A voice whispered in my ear telling me my name was Holly and I was the Christmas Angel and wish giver but that is all he told me"

"I know, he has a habit of not telling people what they need to know until they need too. But you don't have to worry about that!"

"What do you mean?"

"I'm taking you home! Our old man is going to be happy to see you"

"What are you on about? 'Our old man'? are we related?"

"Sort of. The old man is North, the guy that brings Christmas presents to kids during winter. I bring snow and ice and now you bring their wishes. We're all family! Of course there is also Bunnymund, the Easter Bunny. He's kind of our mum"

Holly looked so confused "The Easter Bunny is our mum? and he's a guy?"

"Come on!" said Jack as he took her hand and tugged it "Let's go and see everyone. Everything will be explained then. We have to go to the Sandman's castle everyone is there"

"I don't know..."

"What?"

"What if they don't like me? Or want me in their family?"

"Trust me Holly, we already love you!"

Still feeling low from earlier, Tooth made her way back to her family court yard, with the intent of cleaning it up a bit. She felt a bit ashamed that Jack had seen it overgrown and all. She had sent her fairies to get the teeth and had asked for a few minutes alone to do this, and only bother her if it was an emergency. The fairies knew that this was a very private thing so left her too it. Taking water from the well, she started to wash away the dirt and grime from the statues. Then she pulled out all the weeds growing and used her wings to cut the grass.

"There! That should do it!" said Tooth wiping her forehead. There was a bright light that flashed in one of the towers, that she recognised as one of North's snow globe portals.

"Probably came to check up on me" smiled Tooth as she flew up to greet him. She flew in, intending to hug the large man for his thoughtfulness but almost flew straight in to the Monkey King. She was so shocked to see him, that she didn't move fast enough as he grabbed her and pinned her down.

"I've got you know Freak! Spread out! Capture the other fairies and bring me the wish granter's teeth!"

"Let me go! The other guardian's won't let you get away with this! They'll come and..."

"I want them to come and if my hunch is right they'll bring the Wish granter with them as well. And then I'll final have what is mine and my revenge on you and your mother"

The living room inside Sandy's castle was large with three long sofas, various arm chairs and tea table. A large fire place, with large bookcases on either side. On the opposite wall was a large map, covered in little lights, showing the children's belief was still going strong. Large wooden beams crisscrossed the ceiling holding it up, like you would see in an old castle in Europe. Pitch was laying back on one of the sofas reading a book with Sandy laying in his lap dozing after a long nights work. They had both flown though the night delivering dreams and nightmares. They had not been strong nightmares, or major fear impacting like he would like them, but it was still nice being able to do his work without anyone breathing down his neck. Once they got back, he and Sandy had stripped and bathed each other in their sand, taking each other bringing each other to the brink. Yet they both knew something was missing, something soft and strong. Something that bought them both to heights and took her with them. They both shed tears for their lost and grieved. He looked at his manacles and sighed. He wasn't happy over having most of his powers sealed up, but they kept the nightmare voices at bay and allowed him to have a life outside of his cave again, so he was grateful. He was rubbing Sandy's hair when a large hole appeared in the floor and Bunnymund and North appeared from it.

"Don't you two know how to knock?" Pitch drawled dropping his book to the floor.

"We have a problem concerning an old enemy and friend of yours Pitch" said North as he walked over to one of the other seats and sat down.

"Friend? Can't say I have one of those, pawns maybe" said Pitch as he shrugged, still rubbing Sandy's head.

"Shouldn't you wake him up already?" said Bunnymund as he leaned against the seat North was sitting on.

"I'm letting him rest, unlike you two, we were out working all night. What were you doing that made you two so tried?" he smirked as the two of them blushed. Sandy tapped Pitch on the chest and waved his finger in a "no" kind of fashion, as he sat up on Pitch's lap.

"Our apologies Sandy for barging in, but it's quite serious, and we need to speak to Pitch" explained North. "You gave the Monkey King the ability to become human yes?"

Pitch frowned as he sat up a little straighter, but still holding on to Sandy. "What on earth makes you think that?"

"Because he's been seen in human foam posing as a doctor. He also attacked Tooth" said Bunnymund crossing his arms as he glared at the once nightmare king.

"Seriously that gorilla is posing as a doctor? He doesn't have the brains for it" laughed Pitch."As for giving him the ability to become human I think you'll find it was the other way around. He gave me the spell to turn human"

"How did he get a hold of it? or of the ingredients?" asked North.

"He supposedly got it from some witch. It's not that hard to gather those ingredients if you know where to look and you have patience, that which the Monkey has in spades. He's been waiting a very long time to get revenge on Tooth and get back what he thinks is rightfully his"

"What are you on about? You mean this isn't just about revenge?"said Bunnymund now looking concerned as he stood up straight, North leant forward in his seat.

"If the Tooth fairy did not see the need for you to know then I don't see why I should tell you either" said Pitch as he leant back down on the sofa. Sandy gripped the fount of Pitch's clothes and pulled him up slightly. His lower lip wobbled and a small sand heart floated above his head. Pitch's cheeks darkened as he sighed and rolled his eyes.

"As far as the gorilla is concerned, Tooth's mother bewitched his lover and servant Haroom in to loving her instead, making him turn away from him. He thought that killing Tooth was the perfect revenge on Tooth's mother. Only he did not expect his lover to fight so valiantly to protect them both and die for his efforts. It's said that his remains are buried somewhere in Tooth's palace, that's what he wants."

"Why would he want the remains?" asked North looking confused.

"Because the man was his! He still thinks of him as property or as a lover, I don't know nor do I care. Besides this is all a mute point as he cannot even get to Tooth's palace, he has no means of getting there."

"He may have a point there Mate" said Bunnymund to North "We could be getting ourselves bent out of shape for no reason. The ape hasn't made a move in over 300 years, why would he make a move now? What's changed?"

"You may be right. But until we hear from Jack about this new spirit, we do not rule out that he may have an ally or not" said North rubbing his forehead.

Sandy raised an eyebrow "Snowflake/?"

"Oh, there is new spirit making trouble at the hospital where...you know...making snow and such. We thought it best to investigate in light of finding out about the Monkey King."

Pitch frowned and looked to the floor as Sandy leapt up with a large smile, showing a tray with cups on.

"Do we have to entertain?" Pitch moaned as he stood up to help Sandy. Sandy simple took his hand and showed North and Bunny an image of a bottle being poured in to cups with a clock. Pitch rolled his eyes as he translated.

"We're getting your drinks while we wait for the brat to turn up. We won't be long"

As Sandy and Pitch left, Bunny turned to North "Maybe giving Pitch to Sandy was a good idea, the bloke's completely whipped"

North laughed as a cold breezed blow though the room, indicating that Jack had arrived. There was some slight mutterings before Jack entered the room, out of breath but smiling.

"You guys are not going to believe this!"

"What took you so long Frostbite? This new spirit give you some trouble?" asked Bunnymund.

"What? No! I had to bring her with me, because I doubt that you would believe me if I told you!" smiled Jack "Hey come on in"

North stood up to greet the spirit with Bunny as the young woman walked in. She appeared very nervous, her face look down at first before she raised it up for them to see. Both of their jaws dropped as tears quickly filled their eyes, their reactions to her made her feel more unsure.

"Um...I'm pleased to met you. My name is..."

"Holly!" cried North as he ran to her, embracing her tightly in a large hug."My little girl! You are back!"

"I, um, sir I don't think..."

"We're so happy to have you back darling!" said Bunny as he took her from North giving her just as stronger hug. It was then that North noticed her wings, fluttering gently on her back.

"You are a angel now? You're a spirit like us now! This is wondrous news" laughed North as he went to hug her again but quickly stopped when he noticed that Holly broke away from Bunny and looked like she was ready to bolt.

"I've always been like this! I think you've got me mixed up with someone else. Jack this wasn't a good idea"

North turned to Jack, his face told him he wanted answers. Jack went to Holly and took her hand.

"She's lost her memories guys. She doesn't remember who she was. I thought if I bought her here, it might jog her memory"

North looked back at Holly, who looked even more confused and upset, He wanted to hug her and tell her everything was alright. He went to do so, but Bunny grabbed his arm and shook his head.

"Let's give her a minute, this is all going over her head. Give it a chance to sink in a bit"

"Your right. I just can't believe it"

"You can't? imagine what Sandy and Pitch are going to do when they see her"

"Umm...excuse me, Mr. North?" said Holly as she stepped forward, rubbing her hands together.

"Yes Holy, what is it?"

"It's just that from that way Jack explained it, I kind of work for or with you at Christmas. You see I'm the Christmas angel and..."

"Christmas angel? That is wonderful news!" cried North joyously as he again embraced her and spun her around as Bunny slapped his forehead and shook his head. "We can be family again, a real one"

"What is all the noise in here?" asked Pitch as he and Sandy came in, Sandy holding the tray of glasses. North's back was turned to them, so they could not see Holly, as he looked over his shoulder.

"Jack has bought guest with him..." as he moved out of the way and pushed her forward slightly.

"Well they will have to get their own cup, I'm not...Holly?" said Pitch as he looked at her. She tried to smile and gave him a small wave. Sandy promptly dropped the tray in shock before flying right up to Holly and kissing her fully on the mouth. Holly's eyes almost popped out when she felt the small man's lips on hers but there was something right about the kiss that made her pause instead of pushing him away. When the kiss ended, Sandy smiled at her, images of hearts and things appearing above his head. Holly bit her lip, and shook her head, as she flourish her wings and took off to sit on the beams holding the roof up.

"Holly! Come down now!" shouted North, seeing her curl up on the beam.

"No!"

Using the shadows, Pitch travelled up to the beam where Holly was sitting. When she noticed him, she jumped back, almost falling off.

"Holly, do you really not know who me and Sandy are? What we mean to you?" he asked as he knelt down in fount of her. She shook her head again, almost tearfully.

"I'm sorry, I don't even know who I am"

Pitch looked out of one of the large windows, although it was daylight, he knew the moon was still there listening and watching.

"I suppose this is still punishment for everything I've done for you to take her memories old friend"

"What do you mean? Who are you talking too?" asked Holly, who was on the verge of freaking out.

"It doesn't matter. Holly, I want you to believe me when I say this, but both I and Sandy care about you. As do North and the others I suppose, we care about you and that we're happy to have you home" said Pitch as he bowed his head pleading for her to believe him.

Holly frowned all the way thought Pitch's little speech, looking in to his eyes and seeing that he meant every word. She looked down at the others who started back, they all seemed happy and worried about her too. She turned back to Pitch, reaching out and cupping his face with her hand.

"I believe you" she said as she smiled at him. Pitch took her hand and kissed her knuckles.

"Shall we get your memories back? We can help you, all of us" said Pitch taking her hand and pulling her up to stand, as both Jack and Sandy floated up to them.

"How?"

Sandy showed her an image of a large tooth, then a long tube with teeth in it.

"I don't understand, sorry"

"What my friend here is trying to say, is that the Tooth fairy can help us. She will have your baby teeth that contain all your precious memories inside them. In other words restore your memory" explained Pitch as he pointed to Jack "It worked for him. He spent 300 years not even knowing he had a life before he got his memories back."

"It's true Holly. Tooth would be glad to help you out" said Jack trying to reassure her.

"HEY! Can you guys come down here, so we can be part of this conversation?" shouted Bunnymund. Holly let out a small laugh as she jumped down and floated down to the floor in fount of them, Jack and Sandy followed shortly by Pitch. Suddenly a Baby Tooth came flying in squeaking like mad, flying franticly around the guardians.

"Whoa, calm down Baby tooth! What's wrong?" asked Jack, as the fairy flew in to his hands and started to squeak really quickly. "The Monkey King has taken over? He's chained Tooth up? Wants us to bring the wish granter? Wait, how did he even get there? North's snow globe?"

"How did he get one of those?" asked North "He would not have gotten past the yetis"

"Tooth must of lost the one she got at the pole when we went to the hospital. He must have picked it up" said Jack as he twirled his staff. "Now, let's go and kick his butt!"

"Good luck with that" said Pitch as he sat down "Got nothing to do with me"

Sandy showed several images in argument but Pitch simply shook his head "This is Guardian business. Besides someone has to stay with Holly"

"I'm going with them" said Holly firmly pointing to North and Bunny. "This Monkey King wants to see me as well"

"All the more reason not to go" argued Pitch as he throw himself off the chair and grasping Holly's hand. "There is no reason for you to get involved this time"

"What do you mean this time?" asked Holly as Pitch looked away. She looked at the others but no one would look her in the eye.

"If this Monkey king has attacked Tooth, and destroying the teeth, Holly may never get her memory back." said North placing a hand on Pitch's shoulder. "But if you help us, the sooner we can restore Holly's memory"

Pitch frowned as he looked at Holly's face, who looked up at him imploringly.

"Fine, I'll help. But only this once"

Holly floated up and kissed him on the cheek. "Thank you"

Pitch looked down at the floor in shame, releasing her hand stepping away from her. "Don't thank me yet"

Holly concerned looked at Sandy who shook his head as he took her hand, making her blush. She didn't know why these two men made her heart thump the way it did, but it was a warm feeling.

"If we're already to go, allow me" said Bunnymund as he tapped his foot on the ground opening a large hole. Jack leapt right in, followed by Bunnymund and North. Sandy pulled on Holly's hand as he lead her down the tunnel, leaving Pitch to take the rear.

As they came out of the tunnel they found Tooth palace in shambles large amounts of smoke rising from the towers. North and Bunnymund pulled out their weapons as everyone walked through the rubble.

"The Monkeys sure went to town on this place haven't they?" said Jack looking at the destruction.

"They looking for something, they don't care what they break as long as they find it" said Pitch as he walked behind them. A large monkey stepped in to their path and bowed to them.

"My king wishes to speak to you all. Please follow me"

"Where is Tooth?" demanded North pointing his sword at the ape. The monkey did not even flinch as he pushed the sword away.

"My king has the freak with him, she is unharmed for now and if you wish her to remain so, follow me"

North put his sword down as they followed the monkey down to the courtyard were the Monkey king was holding Tooth. She was bound by her hands and feet with a gag in her mouth, while the smaller fairies cried in large cages. The monkeys lined up on either side of the guardians, standing at attention as they walked towards their King. He stood in fount of the statues of Tooth's parents under the cover of a tall tree, Tooth by his feet. He threw his arms out and smiled.

"Welcome guardians. I apologise for the mess, but your friend would not tell me the location of what I want, so I had my men look for it." his black eyes fell on Pitch "Pitch Black? HA! I heard that you got caught but seeing you with them? You have truly fallen low"

Pitch practically growled as Sandy punched his hand ready to take the king on. The king continued to smirk until his eyes came to Holly then it turned to a genuine smile. He bowed.

"Miss Holly. Your new form suits you well. Now you really are North's daughter, but of course you don't remember ever being his, do you?"

"Leave her out of this!" snarled North as he went to charge forward but the Monkey King grabbed Tooth by her golden feather and pulled hard. Her muffled scream stop North in his tracks. North backed off and the Monkey king let go of her.

"Now, Now, I have nothing against you or your family guardian of wonder, but I do need her to grant me my wish! and as payment I will give her this" said the king as he held out Holly's tooth box. Holly stepped forward away from the group as she approached the king.

"Holly don't!" said Jack as he went to grab her. Two large iron cages fell down from the tree trapping Jack with Pitch and Sandy and Bunnymund and North in the other. Holly gasped as she glared at the king.

"Let them go! Let them all go and I'll grant your wish!"

"No. I do not even know if you can grant my wish yet. So here is the deal. You grant my wish, you get your memories back, I and my men leave and your friends go free! BUT NOT HER!" he roared pointing at Tooth, before backhanding her to the floor. "No matter the outcome today, she dies!"

Pitch tried to teleport though the shadows but the bars of the cage glowed blue and crackled with energy. The same happened when North tried to cut them with his swords.

"Don't bother" snapped the Monkey king "those cages are enchanted with magic, anyone caught in there becomes powerless. Well...miss Holly? Do we have a deal?"

"Let me hear this wish first" she said placing her hands on her hips, her wings flapping angrily behind her. The King nodded as he stepped aside showing Holly the statue of Haroom.

"This man in life was my friend and lover, before one of the sister's of the wind stole his heart with her magic and turned me in to a Monkey. It took me a long time to gain my army of monkeys and went back to get my love only to find this freak had been born. I captured her parents in order to get her to come out of hiding. I went to kill her but my love was so strongly under the witch's spell that he gave his life up to save hers"

Holly looked with her eyes over at Tooth who was crying and shaking her head in denial. "I see"

"After I captured her I tried to use her to get revenge on the other sisters of the winds, but somehow I was over powered when she sprouted those mini fairies and she threw me in to the jungle to my fate. The animals there do not take kindly to a once human like me!"

"This is all very touching I'm sure! But that doesn't tell me what your wish is"

The king snorted angrily as he turned back to her "Very well! My wish is this! Give him back to me!"

"Huh?"

"I want you to bring my lover back to life! his remains are inside this statue, use them to being him back"

Holly looked down at her wrist and saw that her bells were not ringing nor did she feel any urge to grant his wish. Yet she felt bad for him, he really did love Haroom but his greed and arrogance made it impossible for him to see beyond anything else. Plus with everyone in cages she was on her own, she needed help. The statue of Haroom gave her an idea.

"I'm truly am sorry Monkey King, but even I cannot bring back the dead. But there is something I can do! I can make that statue of him come to life, give him all of Haroom's personality and such. Since he has Haroom's remains inside of him, it would be as close to the real one that you're ever going to get"

Tooth's eyes widen in horror at what Holly was purposing to do, and tried screaming at her though the gag. Holly smiled at her and winked, before becoming serious again when facing the monkey. What was Holly up to? The monkey king snarled and gnashed his teeth as he stormed back and forth. This wasn't what he had planned, or what he wanted! But if the wish granter said she couldn't bring back the dead, then she couldn't. Wish granters upon hearing a wish often had the over whelming desire to grant them, even when they were bad wishes that lead to terrible consequences. He would have to settle for the next best thing.

"Very well. Bring the statue to life, give him my dead lover personality, memory and heart. That is my wish"

Holly's bells rang on her wrist as she walked over to the statue and placed her hand on it. The statue glowed bright blue before walking off of its pedestal. Holly fluttered out of the way as the monkey king approached it.

"Haroom?" the monkey approached the statue cautiously as the statue raised its arms in a beckoning hug. The Monkey king dropped Holly's tooth box and embraced the statue tightly.

"Haroom it has been so long!" he cried kissing the statue's cold lips. The army of monkey cheered as the guardians and Pitch watched on in disgust. The monkey king turned his back on the statue and picked up Holly's tooth box. As he handed it to her, the statue of Haroom walked over to Tooth and pulled out his sword.

"As agreed Wish granter. Your memories"

"And my friends? You will release them?"

"They'll be free to go after I kill..."

Smash! Both Holly and the Monkey King turned to see the statue had cut though the chains binding Tooth's feet and had removed her gag. The monkey king drew his own sword and rushed over.

"No Haroom. She is our enemy! Get away from her"

Although he was made of stone as was his sword, Haroom moved as fast as the wind and his sword was as sharp as the flint that carved it. With one strong strike the sword pieced the Monkey King's armour and his chest. Everyone watched in as the monkey king fell to his knees and fell backwards only to be caught by Holly. The statue pulled out his sword now covered in blood and pointed it at the other monkeys, who now were all running away in retreat. The statue returned to Tooth and finished freeing her. Once free from her chains, she hugged the statue of her father tightly before flying past the cages holding her friends and fairies fast, shattering their cages in to pieces. Holly rested the monkey king's head in her lap as he coughed up some blood.

"Why? My wish...I don't understand" he pleaded with Holly to explain. Tears fell from Holly's eyes as she spoke.

"You wished for him to have all of Haroom's personality and memory. In life, despite what you thought, Haroom loved his daughter very much. He died trying to protect her from you. He did still care for you of that I am certain but...he just loved his daughter more"

"But I wanted what they have got" the monkey spat glaring at North and Bunnymund. "I wanted him and I to be like them. Like I saw them in the hall that night, so passionate..."

Holly shook her head "It may have been what you wanted...but it wasn't what you wished for"

The Monkey King let out a terrible heart breaking cry as he coughed up more blood, tears spilling from his eyes.

"Grant me one last wish, one last one..." he whimpered he voice almost too soft to hear.

"Okay let's hear it" said Holly, then suddenly realised her mistake as the monkey grinned. He grabbed her hair pulling her closer, as he whispered in to her ear. Holly's pale flesh went from white to pink to scarlet to fire engine red. She felt a burning sensation in her stomach, the rush to grant this particular wish, but pushed it down as hard as she could while gripping her bells trying to stop them from ringing.

"I can't grant that wish! " she cried out looking down at the dying king. He let out a weak chuckle.

"I know what you wish granters are like. Once you hear a wish you can grant you can't help but grant it, even if you don't want too" with one last laugh he died. Holly dropped his head as she stood up, trembling and still gripping her bells. North ran over to her and hugged her tightly.

"Holly are you alright? That was amazing bringing the statue to life"

"I'm sorry!" Holly cried placing her hand on North, her bells ringing frantically "He made a wish...and I need to grant it!"

A bright blue light shone around North and Bunnymund. North felt himself becoming weaker as he started at Holly, who was crying.

"He said it was only for a few days but...I'm so sorry"

"Holly? What have you done?" whispered North as he leant on her for support. There was a deep growl behind them, as all of Bunny's fur stood on end, his ears pinned back and his eyes blazing with a deep hunger that North had last seen only a few nights ago. Bunny licked his lips nosily, he went in to a leaping position after opening a large enough hole behind North. North pushed Holly out of the way as Bunnymund leapt, pushing North and himself down the tunnel, sealing it up behind them.

To be continued...
