"She's going to be alright,Mate." spoke a male voice.

"Where exactly did you find her,Jack?" Came a soft femaine voice. Soothing.

"well," Then I recongize the closed eyes flew open, These people Didnt need to know about my ugly past.

" Your awake!" Jack shouted as he knelt beside me.

4 other eyes meet mine. 3 i could see. A big russian,a little fairy lady and a rabit. But I couldn't fine the 4th pair.

Then a flicker caught my eye. I looked for what had moved and found nothing. Jack followed my gaze and saw something i Didn't because his shoulders tensed and he hissed the word Pitch. The second the word was out, Jacks companions all jumped in to action and I watched as the fourth pair of eyes appeared. "Julian" I whimpered.

Or I thought I did. I watched as they all lunge for him. There's a look of shock on julians face. I attempt to move infront of julian, but I couldn't. Try as I may I was looked in place. I saw a look of hurt pass through his eyes then as look of confusion took its place as he side stepped the bunny as he charged at him with a boomerange in hand.

A harsh laugh escaped Julian, I'd heard this laugh before. But not from a julian with that level of emotion in his that laugh only came to play when the drugs and liquior began to hit.

I watched as julian disapeared into a black sand.

I watched in awe. How could he do that? Hell how could he even be alive? I'd just waken on the day he died! Which reminds me; Where the hell am I? The bunny, fairy lady, big russian and jack all slowly made their way to me. They did so in such a slow manner that I swear my head almost exploded.

"Sweetie," Jack said as he kneeled before me.

I tried with all my might to move my lips. Jack seemed to notice the fustration in my eyes because he smiled.

"Don't strain yourself, the meds must not have worn off yet?" I watched as jack looked behind him to the trio that was scampering around.

Jack smiled again. I love his smile, I realized.

Jack moved to my side and sat. He gentely wrapped his arm around me. I slowly managed to put my head on his shoulder with a little help from jack.

"While we wait for the medication to wear off ill explain everything. Starting with the people here. The big guy over ther," He nodded to the russian with that big fluffy beard, he kinda looks like..." He's santa claus, but we call him North." Santa Claus. I'm must be dreaming again!Jack saw the disbelieve flash through chuckled then hollered at the big man,

" Hey,North!" He lifted his head and smiled. He bound over. I felt a slight rumble under us.

"Amy,is it?" He said,once he was right in front of us.

I felt my mouth fall open.

Jack and North laughed at me in unison.

"Looks like Sand's little magic spell is wearing off." North said.

"It is," Jack agreed.

"So,North. Amy here doesn't seem to believe me that you are who I say u are." I like the sass in Jack's voice. He knows that because he squeezed me close to him. Now this is the real Jack. Sweet,innocent and...a little boring.

"She doesn't?" He said with a rumble of a laugh that may or may not have sounded a little like Ho Ho Ho!

"Well maybe this will prove it." Said the fairy lady.

She pulled out a thin tube,and grabbed my hand moving my fingures to be over certain spots on the tube. Then I was instantly tranformed.

"Mommy!" I woke screaming. My little night gown. The little pink flowers faded from wear. That's what happes when you live in an orphange with barly enough food for one meal a day.

"Oh,shut up already!" Yelled the girl above me." She's not coming back for you,so just face it." She she was right. That was when I finally gave up on my mother ever coming back for me.

I was 10 at the time. I'd spent half my life in an orphange.I'd seen many things,but never were they happy.

Until that day.

That day I'd had a tooth come out and one of the younger girls had insisted that I put it under my pillow. I did. And good thing I did because other wise I'd have absoultely no hope. I'd have nevee seen the tooth fairy.

Or santa claus later that year, or the eatser bunny the next...

My eyes flew open. A smile on my face.

"Its really you!" I squealed bounding into North's waiting arms.

"Well we know the meds or through," Jack laughed,climbing to his feet. I released North, and he passed me to the tooth fairy.

" I can't believe I'm meeting the real tooth fairy!" I squealed again.

"Oh,Amy!call me Tooth!" She said tapping my nose.

" Doesn't the Easter Bunny get any love?" The bunny said. I squealed again and ran at him. He laughed as I collided with him.

I released my grip but reached out and stroked his fur once more.

"Its so soft," I said in awe.

He laughed again.

"Amy, I want to introduce you to Sandy. He maybe the only one of us you've never seen. But being as your sleeping by the time he comes around I guess it makes sense."Jack said, intertwining his fingers with mine and redirecting me. He lead me to a new room where a small man made of what looked like sand was floating.

"The sandman," I whispered. He turned at his name and a question mark appeared over his head.

"Sand, this is Amy." Jack introduced. Sandy smiled at me and floated over, he took my hand in his and gave it a pat.

Soon my mind was filled with images of medows, Jacks smile and rain.

My eyes open and widen to the size of a watermelon.

Sandy looked pleased.

"Sand, we have to meet. We need rto talk about what just happened," Jack said,his voice hardened. Sand nodded and followed us back to a room where a giant globe was. I hadn't noticed the globe before but I know this was the same room.

.Pitch.

The word was bouncing off the wall.

Who was Pitch?

And why were they talking about him, if he were talking about what just happened with Julian?
