I feel stupid, the books came out in 2011 and still are, of course I wouldn't have read them as a child. Alright, well, ignore my silliness and here's your update you guys! XD I stayed home from school just to update my two stories (Not really, it's just a bonus!) SO thanks for reading!

The Sandman was busy with his job of granting dreams to the children of the world. Although Chritsmas also needed to be taken care of, Sandy couldn't leave the children's dreams open to attack. He gave them dreams of Santa Claus and Rudolph and other festive things. Sandy couldn't help but smile at the pure joy of his job. Sure, it was alot of work, but he couldn't have asked for anything better.

As he was musing, Sandy noticed shifting of shadows from the corner of his eye. The trees brew uneasily in the wind and it seemed, to Sandy, as being a darker environment. Sandy tried to ignore it and continue with pleasant dream-giving, but he couldn't shake the feeling of being watched.

"Sandy!" Sandy heard his name called. He turned to see a familiar face in front of him. It was the winter spirit, Jack Frost, breaking the ominous feeling. Sandy waved eagerly at his fellow Guardian. However, the spirit seemed troubled by something. Golden sand morphed to take the form of a question mark above the dream-maker's spikey yellow hair. Puzzlement stretched across Sandy's face, clearly getting his point across. "Sandy, I need help." Sandy waved his hands so that Jack could continue explaining. "Pitch, he came and took Cupid. We need to save her! He even had this," Jack displayed Bunny's boomerang in front of him. Sandy's eyes widened in shock. What had happened while he was away from Santoff Clausen?

Sandy waved his hand for Jack Frost to follow him as they made their way back to the North Pole. Sandy and Jack were greeted by the little teeth fairies, panickly trying to explain what had happened. Even Baby Tooth, Jack noticed, was sincerely worried about something. Jack pulled Baby Tooth away and asked, "What happened here?" Baby Tooth eagerly pointed in the direction of where the toys were being made.

Sandy and Jack followed her in the direction she pointed in. A large table filled mostly with working yetis was layed out on front of them. Baby Tooth landed on the table next to a pile of quarters and chirped a few times, eagerly pointing at them. "Something happened to Tooth..." Jack said, decoding the little fairies speech easily. Sandman looked shocked at what had happened. He felt guilty, he coud've helped if he had stayed in the North Pole for just a bit longer.

Jack turned to see the disappointment in his friends eyes. "It's okay, buddy," he said, putting his hand on Sandy's shoulder, "We'll get her back." Sandy's face lit up at this. At that, a yeti barged into the room. Jack had given this one the name Phil. In his gargled speech he tried to point the boys into the sleigh room, but then looked confused at Jack. He held out his hands to signify the staff, and the lack there of. Jack looked down and sighed.

Sandman suddenly noticed that Jack didn't have his staff, too. He made the staff out of golden dreamsand and gave a questioning look to Jack. Jack told them what had happened at Jamie's home. "When I tried to mend it back together like I did last time, it wouldn't work. I think he put some kind of spell on it." Jack sighed at his stupidity. He could've protected his staff, Cupid, Jamie, even Bunnymund and Tooth if he had actually thought things through.

The yeti, shocking Jack out of his moping state, spoke again and pointed to the sleigh room. He had forgotten how important this was. Jack and Sandy silently followed the enormous yeti into the room. They looked questionably around as they saw nothing. Phil reachd down to the floor to display a snowglobe. The same kind of snowglobe that North used to maneuver around the world on special occasions. "Where are they?" Jack asked urgently.

The yeti gargled again and shrugged his shoulders. Jack looked at how the room was kept. Alot of things were strewn across the room. "Pitch..." Jack said in a hushed whisper.

At that moment Jack, Phil, and Sandy all turned to a noise in the corner. From the darkness they heard, "Sanderson Mansnoozie..." almost hissed at them. "Jackson Overland Frost..." The voice continued. A shudder ran up Jack's spine as he heard the voice speak their names. Sandy's eyes sprang open at the sound of the voice.

Jack noticed from the shadows a figure began to appear. It was completely black and growing as he watched it rise from the darkness. Two lanky arms appeared from the figure, one holding an excessiveley long scythe that curled within it's own form. It's shape seemed to be constantly moved, yet it stayed in the same spot. Jack got ready to stand his guard when he realized he didn't have his staff to fight the shadow with.

Sandy turned to Jack and mouthed the word run. He eagerly waved his hands at Jack, trying to shoo him away. What should he do? Jack didn't want to leave his friend, but Jack didn't know if he could stand a chance against something that even Sandy was worried about.

Sandy gathered sand into his hands, preparing to face the evil spirit. Jack watched Sandy from behind him as he turned to give Jack a smile and a nod of approval. Jack took a couple of steps backwards, then flew out the nearest window, leaving Sandy to fight off this spirit. If Sandy couldn't fight him, Jack would definitely find a way to save everyone. Tears began to drip down the winter spirit's face as he thought about Sandy facing off against the dark figure. "You better be okay."


Sandy fought valiantly against the spirit, but, as he attacked the spirit, he didn't notice the giant sythe swinging towards him. Sandy disappeared into the darkness, captured by the Dark Reaper. The Reaper, too, disappeared into the darkness to report back to Pitch Black.


Jack returned to the Bennett house in time to see Jamie waking up. Jessica had been cradling his head on her lap. He flittered open his hazel eyes and smiled up at the girl above him. As jack Frost flew in the window, however, he leaped up from the bed to give him a giant bear hug. "Jack!" he yelled, welcoming the winter spirit into his house. As Jamie was hugging him, his feet kicked something on his floor. As he stopped to pick it up he realized it was Jack's staff in two pieces. "Oh my god..." Jamie held both pieces of the staff in his hands. "Can't you fix it, Jack?" Jamie asked, eagerly hoping the spirit would say yes.

Jack shook his head disappointedly. Jamie's brows furrowed as he looked down at the broken staff. He tried piecing it back together but to no avail. Jack sighed and glanced at Jamie's broken attempts. "No, no," He said, "You gotta do it like this," Jack tried to dramatically put the staff back together but ended up failing miserably.

"It's okay, Jack," Jamie said, "You can do it, I believe in you!"

"Same!" said Jessica, approaching the boys.

Jack let a slight smile stretch across his face. "Alright," he said, hopping a bit on his feet to pump him up, "I can do this." he whispered. He brought the two pieces of the staff together. Jack clenched his eyes shut and thought of the Guardians, of Jamie and Jessica, he even thought about Cupid.

"Wooow" Said Jamie. Jack opened his eyes to see his staff whole again. Brilliant blue lights stretched across where it had been broken. The lights lit up the room as Jack watched with awe. "You just needed to believe in yourself, Jack!"

"No..." Jack said, testing out his staff, "I just needed something to fight for."

"Maybe both," said Jessica peacefully. The three of them laughed happily together when Jack realized how drastic the situation actually was. He told the two of what had happened when he went to visit the North Pole and what had happened while Jamie was unconscious.

"No way..." Jamie said, astonished. He remembered the Guardians being so strong and unbeatable. Yet, here they were, being taken down one by one by Pitch Black and some new villain. What were they going to do?

As they stood there pondering ways to help save the Guardians and Cupid, a cool breeze came from the open window. At this, the three of them heard a little sneeze come from inside Jack's coat pocket. With a surprised expression, he reached into his pocket to pull out Baby Tooth curled up in the palm of his hand. She seemed eager to help.

The two boys started laughing as Baby Tooth chirped up a storm about the cold weather. Jessica stared amazed at the little multicolored faerie. She had yet to see anything supernatural besides Jack Frost and Cupid and they still looked like humans. "Is this the Tooth Fairy?" She asked looking at the little creature in front of her.

The boys chuckled a bit at this question. "No," Jamie said with a smile, "The Tooth Fairy is much bigger. This is just a baby tooth fairy." Baby Tooth glared up at Jamie as if to say, just a baby tooth fairy?

Jack settled down the conversation by bringing back the subject at hand. "I think we need to find out where Pitch is keeping everyone first."

Jamie and Jessica began pondering a bit. "I think I know the place." Jessica said raising her pointer finger.
