Chapter 2
"Jack, thank goodness you're here!" Tooth sighed in relief as I, Jack Frost, entered North's industrious toy factory.
"Tooth, something bad is going on. I've known something has been up since earlier on this year." I said, trying to dodge the massive yetis while I was walking. "Where is everyone?"
"They're at the globe," she replied, as she too was flying in and out of the crowd of yetis surrounding us, "someone doesn't believe in us anymore."
"Ah, Jack, you're here!" North said enthusiastically, in his strong Russian accent, as he rubbed his big hands together.
"North, what's going on?" I questioned gingerly.
"Nice to see you too, frosty," said a familiar and annoying voice which belonged to the Australian Easter kangaroo.
"And you, cotton tail!" I replied back, laughing as I went to join North at the globe.
Bunny shot me the finger, so I left it at that.
"Jack, this isn't a laughing matter," North quietly spoke, and it didn't take me long to realize that it really wasn't.
In January earlier on this year, we noticed that one light had switched off. That light represented a girl called Billie Valentine. She was 15. We instantly thought that she had just stopped believing in us as she was going to be 16 in a few days. However, that wasn't the case. We've never known why she stopped believing in us, but what we do know is that it wasn't a personal choice.
"What's happened, North?" I calmly asked, trying not to sound too worried. There was no reply. I turned to look at him to see why he wasn't answering, "North-"
"Jack. Look at the light next to the girl's," he replied, impatiently.
I leapt into the air so I could take a look at Britain on the globe. As I focused my eyes on Billie's hometown, I instantly saw what was wrong. My mouth dropped open, agape, and I felt my eyebrows automatically rise. A sense of horror went through my body as if I had been electrocuted. This was really bad.
"No," I quietly whispered to myself. My mouth had gone dry, and I was in too much shock to say it any louder.
The light that represented a child called Andrew, who was Billie's younger brother, was flickering on and off.
"Why is it doing that?" I asked, cautiously.
Tooth flew up from below and came next to me, and was followed by her little fairies who always stuck close to her. Baby Tooth landed on my shoulder, even she look worried. I gave her a reassuring smile without trying to look too anxious, which probably didn't work, but she kindly sent one back.
"The girl who doesn't believe in us anymore has told her brother that we're not real," Tooth said sadly, "he still believes in us slightly, but he doubts the fact that we're real." She crossed her small arms across her feathery body and let out a helpless sigh. "What if he stops believing in us for good?" she cried quietly.
"That ain't gonna happen!" Bunnymund said loudly. "We're not gonna let that happen!"
"Precisely!" North cheered. "Even if it did, it's happened before so we would be able to stop it."
A smiley face appeared above Sandy's head while he put both of his golden thumbs up, meaning that he agreed.
Tooth let out a silvery laugh and happily clapped her hands together. I would have joined in on their little celebration, but I caught something in the corner of my eye. I quickly turned around and gasped loudly. 3 more lights were flickering on and off. They were placed right beside Andrew's light.
"Um, guys?" I said nervously, "we've gotta problem,"
"What is it, Jack?" North asked as he walked up to the globe. I moved out the way so he could see, and his eyes widened. "No. This can't be happening!" he yelled and slammed is hand down on the wooden table, making everything shake.
"Oh no!" Tooth cried, and quickly clapped her hands over her mouth in shock.
Bunny took a step back. "Crikey. This shouldn't be happening!" he yelped.
I had to do something. I knew where the town was. I was there this morning bringing the snow blizzard.
"North, I'll go and see what's going on," I said.
North nodded, "Tooth, Bunny, I need you to keep an eye on the globe. Sandy, come with me." He walked off to his office with Sandy by his side.
"Jack, will you be alright on your own? I can come with you if you want-" Tooth asked, but I quickly interrupted her,
"I'll be fine, but thanks," I responded and gave her a small smile, "keep an eye on the globe, Bunny."
"Yes, sir." He sarcastically replied, and gave me a lazy salute.
I stuck my tongue out at him, picked my staff up and headed for Britain.
