Tooth's POV:
"Hey, Jackie boy" The cloaked person said.
We all stared in awe at Jack while asking ourselves who was this person, why he had such an evil aura and how Jack was connected to him.
"Jack, who is this?" I asked him while my eyes were still on the mysterious figure.
"Aw, Jack, don't tell me you forgot to talk to your friends about me?" He said in a playful way. "You're hurting my feelings"
Despite his apparently rough tone you could distinctly notice a female sounding voice.
"What're you doing here?" Jack asked angrily.
"Now, now Jack is that anyway to talk to your frie-"
"YOU ARE NOT MY FRIEND!" Jack interrupted
Everybody was suddenly looking at Jack surprised at his outburst.
"Who are you?" asked North adverting everybody's eyes from the furious Jack.
"Me?" She asked
"I've been present since the beginning of time, I am older than all of you and almost as old as Father Time himself" She said slowly removing her hood.
"I am Death" She said once her hood was completely removed and there before us stood a beautiful young woman, she seemed to be no older than Jack. She removed the rest of her cloak showing a perfect and curvy body of a 17 year old girl, her beauty left everyone in the room breathless.
She had dark green eyes and brown hair, was wearing a dark blue shirt and black jeans.
Bunny, who was probably the only one that had already recovered from her beauty, laughed. "YOU… Death, like I would believe that" He snickered.
"You'd better believe it, it's true" She said
"Oh yeah, prove it"
"You're going to regret asking that" She said.
Suddenly Death's eyes turned from dark green to a pure black and suddenly the room's temperature dropped immensely, it was freezing cold, but not Jack's cold, no, this was a cold you could only feel in your deathbed.
A scythe appeared in her hand, it seemed sharper than North's swords and looked like it could cut through steel.
Everybody was trembling with the exception of Jack. Noticing the fear in our eyes Death calmed down and while throwing her hair behind her shoulder she said: "Proof enough for ya?"
Bunny just nodded in silence while North came forward to be in front of him.
"What do you want from us?" He asked.
Death smirked, "All I want is what is rightfully mine"
"And what is that?" I asked.
She didn't say anything all she did was smile even more and look directly at Jack.
Everybody once again had their gaze fixed on Jack, while he looked like he wanted to run away and never come back.
"Jack, what is going on?" I asked, he looked at me like he wanted to say something but immediately frowned and turned away.
"Jack~, are you going to tell them or do I have to?" Death asked with a grin on her face.
Everybody kept looking at Jack and he wasn't saying anything.
"Very well, we'll do it your way" Death said approaching us while everybody followed her with their eyes.
"Like I said I was here almost as long as Father Time, every time somebody died I would collect their soul and move on to the next one, but as time went by the world started to become overpopulated and I had was starting to fail to keep up with the dead. So one day MiM came up with a plan he would divide to responsibilities of collecting souls in between three spirits, there's me, Father Time who is responsible for collecting the souls of the mortals that die of old age and finally…" Death stopped speaking so that we could let the information settle in.
"MiM struggled to find someone else to help me with the souls, but then he remembered something so dangerous and deadly it was perfect, it was as deadly as me it can kill thousands per year, it was so perfect that MiM had to create a new spirit just for the job" Death said as he suddenly looked straight at Jack. "This happened about 300 years ago"
"Isn't that right, Jack?"
These words echoed throughout the room and in the minds of the spirits. Since becoming a guardian all the spirits learned about Jack and they knew he had also been born 300 years ago and if what Death was saying was indeed true, then Jack was …
"Enough" North said receiving surprised stares from every spirit. "What do you want of us, Death?" North looked at Jack and he knew the winter spirit had had a hard time adjusting with all the spirits and this wasn't helping him.
"All I want is what belongs to me" Death said. "I want the souls Jack, the souls of the dead you collected for me"
This was going to settle it, if Jack gave Death the souls of the deceased then he really was a servant of her.
While this went through the minds of most of the spirits, it was not the same for the guardians, even though Jack was family to them, they couldn't believe it they would never accept it, they kept repeating to themselves that their relationship would not change.
"Very well" Jack said. "Let's go and I'll give them to you"
As soon as those words left his mouth something inside almost everyone in the pole snapped. Suddenly they felt scared, not the same fear as the when faced with Pitch, no, this was a new fear, a fear of something they didn't fear a long time, a fear of death.
"But, why not give them to me here, Jack" Death said making Jack snap out of his saddened state and stare at her with wide eyes. "We can perform the ritual anywhere after all, or are you going to disobey me" She said with a grin.
The room's temperature suddenly dropped, this was because the rage Jack was feeling, Death was no longer doing this for the souls, she was now doing this just to mess with Jack.
"So, what do you say?" Death asked.
Jack took a moment to look around the room, nobody looked directly at Jack with the exception of Tooth who looked at him in disbelief she didn't want for this to happen she wanted it all to be a dream.
"Very well" Jack answered.
Death smirked. "Glad to hear that, now let's begin"
