I'm so sorry this is late! The Magician told me I needed to speed it up. So I hope you like it!

North had to fight Bunny out of the room. He refused to believe that the lifeless figure with a small smile in the bed, was Jack. He didn't want to believe it, but this time not believing didn't take it away. Jack was still there, but at the same time, wasn't. North fought him tooth and nail, to the point were he had to use some of the dream sand from Sandy. North couldn't bear to see Jack and hoped that it was just his mind playing tricks. North took the now sleeping, Bunnymund to the sitting room, set him by the fire to warm. He didn't want to let him out of his sights, just in case he wakes up and tries to convince himself it was a bad dream. Bunnymund slept quietly as North sat quietly looking out the window. It seemed that Winter, it's self started to cry for it's shepherd's death. Winter outside the window seemed to fall ever so slowly roaming freely. Even the Northern Winds howled with a sorrow as it announced to the world of the death of the beloved Jack Frost. The howl filled the deserts, to the depths of the ocean, rang in every hill, and called to every person and spirit on earth. Even the Man in the Moon could hear the Northern Wind's crying moan. When it seemed like moments, but in reality was over an hour, Tooth came into the sitting room fluttering over to North who seemed frozen in thought. "North," Tooth's voice was soft, "How's Jack?" she sounded so hopeful. Just hearing the hope in her voice broke his heart. North looked at her from his seat and pressed his lips thin, not wanting to say it aloud for it just might bring the reality to it. Tooth stopped and stood on her feet now looking down at him. North could barely make eye contact with her. "North," Tooth soon found herself on her knees, "no." her voice was all in disbelief, "no, North. He's gone?"

North just looked back down at his hands not wanting to look her in the eyes and see her cry, "I had to fight Bunny out of the room. Jack had a smile on his face, he is no longer in pain." North's voice was soft as he didn't know what to say to her.

It was when Sandy entered, was when Tooth couldn't stand it anymore, "I have to see him." Sandy had a question mark over his head as Tooth started to buzz down to the infirmary with North close behind, not wanting her to see, and Sandy confused in the back. Leaving Bunnymund to sleep by the fire and an elf as a pillow.

"Tooth," North chased, "you don't want to do that." Tooth didn't listen as she opened the door and just North left him. Jack's body was sitting limply in the bed. Not a muscle has moved, and that slight smile was still holding like a mask. It broke North's heart once more to see him. Tooth didn't believe what she saw, that brown haired boy with the pale skin; he looked the same, but so different now. Tooth fell to her feet and walked over to the side of the bed. Sandy didn't know what to say, it was a really big shock to see this.

"Jack," Tooth's voice was pained as she let two fingers roam the mess of brown on the top of his head. North walked up to her. She didn't even notice she was crying. Placing a hand on her shoulder, North's heart broke. "I guess we need to let him go then." Tooth's voice was soft and unwilling. Sandy couldn't watch his friends so sad. It hurt to see them like that. So he blew some sand their way, making them sleep soundly on the ground. Sandy put a cloud of sand under them and lifted them away from the room with Jack in it. They floated to the room that had Bunnymund in it sleeping and Sandy set Tooth and North there too. The three slept soundly dreaming. Sandy on the other hand just sat watching the free roaming Winter out of the window, not wanting to think about Jack.

When the three awoke, they knew it was time to say their final goodbyes. They didn't know what to do, so they just thought that Jack would want to be in the place he was always at peace. So they collected Jack's body and set out for the lake he was created. They were taking him home.

They waited for the Rider who brought the night to take his round to take him back, just incase some one saw them. It was not dark there, not with the Moon beaming down on the lake. North held Jack in his arms as he walked out of the sleigh. This was the one time Summer, let Winter roam freely on her grounds at this time of the year. Winter started to freeze the lake like a doc for North, Bunny, Tooth, and Sandy. The Northern Winds cried ruffling Jack's brown hair. When the ice stopped North stood holding Jack close, not wanting to let him go, but he had to. So North set Jack down on the water gently. Jack didn't sink into the water, but sat on top it, like a leaf. Then the Winds lifted him simply off the water, holding him gently. Then it started with his feet. They slowly started to flake away turning into delicately designed snow flakes. They swirled around in the Northern Winds flaking away from Jack's body bit by bit. It looked so beautiful under the pale moon light. Soon it was only the last bit of his face that was left. Jack still had that small smile on his face as it fell away into the drifting snow. They walked back to the shore while the snow now drifted around the lake in the breeze. It was when the Moon started to fall and the sun did rise, was when the ice started to diminish in the water. Jack was now at peace and the Guardians had to find something that would take their minds off of it.

Soon it became months since Jack had gone. It was soon the month of November, and Winter was roaming freely around the world. It was snowing in places it should never be snowing like the Saharan Desert. No other shepherd was appointed and until there was, no one could control it. Karma wasn't seen by the Guardians for quite some time, until she showed up at the North Pole.

"He's dead Karma." North's voice was angered as Karma fought to get in. A pang went off in her chest, "What do you want now?"

"Can I not visit my old friend North now?" Karma's smile was plastered across her face.

North turned his back walking away, "He was wrong about you." His voice was sad.

"Now what did he say?" She mocked.

North turned to see her with saddened eyes, "You were so much more. He was wrong. You are nothing more then this, this monster."

Karma settled back away from the yeti's at the doors, "Don't talk to me that way." Her voice thunderous.

"It is the truth. You cause so much pain that you will never be anything else greater then that."

"I am so much more." Karma steamed.

"Are you Karma? Tell me what makes you more then just pain?"

"I am justice!"

North had a sadden anger behind his voice, "Tell me what justice had to do with Jack's death. He did nothing! Justice is give and take. Not everyone is punished in justice. If you are more then pain, you are everything but not just."

That was the one thing Karma kept dear to her. Justice is all she ever wanted in people, and for people. That was suppose to be what she is, what she was made of, but now she found that she was wrong.

"I'm sorry." She whispered realizing her mistake.

North looked out at her, "It is too late for that. I'm sorry, can't bring Jack back. Leave Karma. You may have seen your mistake, but it doesn't mean you are forgiven."

Karma started to back away from the door her great red steed stood on the ice. The snow stayed away from Karma as if it was parting making a path as she walked to the steed. Winter it's self stayed away from Karma, as if she was the plague. She needed to fix something to find the Justice she owed.
