Hello! Sorry for the long wait! I won't make excuses so here you go! PS. this one is slightly slow, so please bare with me.

As the months past again, Karma wasn't seen by any of the Guardians or by the other spirit beings; and yet people still went to jail and got sentenced with things. When it got into the late December, Winter was out of control. Winter was going crazy without it's shepherd; making it snow in in places where snow should never be. Summer tried to tame the now out of control Winter, but just causing deadly storms trying to shoo Winter away from places it wasn't suppose to be. Trying to put things back into order, waiting for the new shepherd to be appointed.

They Guardians were still in shock of what happened to Jack. North spent most of his days and nights, creating so many different toys that he didn't ever really want to think about it. He was focused on Christmas so much that, even right after the day of his traveling night, he created ten different toys with in the hour.

Bunnymund tried to find Karma as much as he could, he checked around her tower and in every court house, but he couldn't find her. There was a few times when he got a glimpse of her royal red horse and chased after it, but it was always too fast and would disappear into the fog; but not once did he ever get to find Karma. He stopped looking for her after a few months went by and into November, after that he really didn't like to leave the Warren, because he couldn't stand the sight of snow any more. Not without thinking of Jack.

Tooth tried to keep her mind off but found it hard so she always had a small thought in her mind of him. Her way of coping was to just watch the snow, unlike Bunnymund, she found some sort of comfort in seeing the designed flakes float by. But since Winter went loose with Summer chasing after it, those snow flakes would just run away with Winter. It was almost depressing not to see the snow to her.

Sandy, was the only one that ever saw Karma. He saw her crying up to the Man in the Moon in Aotearoa, but it was only for a minute and then she saw him and ran off. Sandy spent some time helping Aster try and hunt down Karma, but he only ever saw her that once. When he wasn't working of his craftsmanship of the dreams he was trying to help others.

It was long past December and was now the month of April. Summer was still trying to shoo Winter out of the places it shouldn't have been, and still waiting for it's shepherd who never came. No one was appointed and it had almost been a year since Jack was put to peace. The other Guardians, kept up with their work, but just like it happened before with Old Man Winter, they started to forget. Jack was as if a long lost memory now. As hard as they tried to hold on to the memories of Jack, they started to forget.

As for Karma, she was off on her own quest, in a way. She knew she had to fix this mess she caused some how. It was that night when she called up to the Man in the Moon in Aotearoa, did it finally seep in. Karma finally figured out what justice is. Justice is more then sentencing one, but also giving back to those who deserve it. For once, yelling up at the Moon, told her all the answers.

Now she was hunting the one person in the world that could have any reason by means to fix what she did.

She was hunting Death, himself.

"Death!" Karma's voice rang out as she called down the bottomless pit; that was where Death would hide as he sent out his reapers to collect. The cave didn't stir with any sound. "Death!" She called again, "I know you can hear me in there. Answer me Death! Death!"

Then out of the darkness, the voice of an old man sounded, "Now isn't it the girl who killed joy, literally." He sounded almost amused as clicking foot steps started to echo down towards Karma.

"I need your help." Karma's voice was quieter.

A laugh came from the cave as a old man in a suit took slow clicking steps toward her and into the light. "You need my help?! Seems to me that you can handle it your self."

"I need to fix what I have done. I am justice, and I need to give back what I took, and pay my dues." Karma admitted, with shame in every word she spoke as Death gazed at her with a grin.

He stopped in front of her looking down, "So you finally figured it out. Took you long enough, but I can't help you Karma. What is done is done. Only we, can take immortality, and the Man in the Moon can give it. I can't bring him back, I am Death. Besides, who said he wants to come back?"

Karma's temper started to itch as her rage built, "Or you are being too stubborn and not letting an innocent go."

"Says you, who took his immortality away in the first place, little Mrs. Justice."

"I am Justice. I am trying to right my wrong ways and pay what it need be I owe. I am justice. If you do not obey th-"

"Then what? You going to kill Death too? Good luck."

"What makes you so special?" Karma spat sourly, "you are Death. You only bring pain. No one obeys by you."

Death's tone went low, "Death is release. I bring peace. I am apart of life in everything. I am what everything leads up to in the end. I am the bringer of peace after the hard days work. Your little Jack Frost, doesn't want to come back. I can't and won't make him. Even if I could, I wouldn't try to take that from him. He is finally at peace, let him be." Karma stayed silent, biting her tongue. "Do you want to see?" Death offered, and with a wave of his hand, everything changed.

It looked to be the lake were Jack found refuge. It was winter, and he was ice skating with his little sister. She looked so happy as she held his hand on the ice, dancing in circles. Karma and Death stood in the middle of the ice, as the two of them glided, not knowing Karma and Death were there. Jack's smile was so big, that he never looked happier. He was playing on the ice with his little sister. On the shore line was what looked like his mother and father having a cup of tea together. On the other side was the girl he loved sitting watching. His best friends laughing long the ice. They were all his fond memories, and that is what he found peace in. "Do you see this?" Death's tone asked Karma as she saw, "He is happy. This is his peace he is looking for. This is what he wasn't given when he was chosen; the happy ending they all get in the end."

"No," Karma shook her head, "The world needs Jack Frost. I made a mistake, I need to fix it. Jack needs to come back, please Death, take it back just this once." She practically begged. "The world will be in ruins by the time Summer has taken out Winter. Children will never find the joy of playing on a snow day because no one is there to shepherd it. Please the world needs Jack Frost."

Death shook his head looking down at her, "I can't Karma. The world needs joy, and Winter needs a shepherd, the world can need Jack Frost; trust me I know. But we can't do that for him. He has to want to go back." Karma looked as Jack and his sister skated by with the happiest look on their faces. How could Jack want to leave his sister? Why would Jack leave his peace, he has waited centuries for?

So thank you for reading! Please keep reading! I promise I will try to speed it up with the wait and the story line! Please tell me/us what you think should, would, could, might, and will happen next time. Or just tell us what you think! Thank you!
