North took the girls to the guest room and let them rest there. The guardians didn't know of Pitch's new power and it was unsettling to think of what he could do now.
They all thought about what could and might happen to the children of the world. Then one child in particular came to mind for Jack and he raced off without explanation.
North rubbed his face with anxiety, "We need to find Pitch and make sure he doesn't hurt another child like this. These two girls didn't deserve this." He frowned and waved his swords around angrily. He began to try and think of a way to turn things up, but every time he tried he plan would crumble due to holes.
Bunny went to check on the girls and found they were sleeping peacefully thanks to Sandy's dream sand. He began thinking as he stood in the doorway watching over them. They needed to get home and Bunny was sure their parents were past freaking out and had the cops looking for them in a search party.

Jack raced to Burgess with worry in his eyes. His worry shown in the weather because it began snowing pretty roughly. He made his way to Jamie's home and checked on him. He was fine, playing with his little sister in his room.
He tapped the window and Jamie looked up.
"Hey Jack!" He smiled as he opened the window.
Jack smiled, mostly in relief, "I'm glad your okay, Jamie." He stepped into the child's room.
"Jack!" Sophie smiled and leaped from the bed to meet Jack at the window. She hugged his leg with a big grin.
"So, what brings you here Jack?" Jamie asked the spirit.
"Just wanted to check on you is all. Make sure your still believing and all." He smiled and tapped Jamie's nose.
"Yeah. We're all still good over here." He glanced outside seeing it was snowing.
"Hey, wanna have a snowball fight?" Jamie asked the winter spirit, as he was getting his jacket and hat on.
"I'd love to Jamie, but I got guardian duties to tend to. You and your friends stay together outside. Okay?" Jack said and hugged Sophie. She got off his leg and Jamie waved goodbye.
Jack sighed in relief and let the snow fall calm down. "Alright, wind. Lets go to the North Pole."
...
At the North pole, the guardians had noticed a few lights flickering here and there.
North was watching carefully, and Tooth checked back and forth from her palace to here. Sandy stayed in the room with the girls to make sure Pitch didn't come back and Bunny was right there with him. The two girls were their main concern at the moment.
Eventually the two woke up. Martha first then Izzy.
"Ow..." Martha groaned and curled up in the covers. She had a headache and the light in the room didn't help. Izzy however, got up and was alert. She sat on her bed and looked around making sure there were no yetis watching her. She had caught Sandy and Bunny in the room talking and Martha in the bed next to hers.
"Hey, Martha." Izzy said in a sort of whisper tone, "You remember what happened?"
Martha opened her eyes and sat up. She looked over to Izzy, but not before glancing at Sandy and Bunny. ".. No I don't.. Perhaps the guardians know."
Right on cue, Jack flew in from the door with a gust of wind behind him. Martha covered herself instinctively from the cold, as did Bunny, and Izzy lit up, "Hey Jack!" She smiled.
"Hey Izzy! Nice to see your doing good." He smiled glad she had gone back to normal. Bunny walked over to the beds and studied the two. Martha smiled when he came over, "Hi Bunny," She looked over and nodded to Sandy as a thanks for the good dreams then back to Bunny, "What happened?"
Bunny's ears lowered a bit at the question, "After you girls were taken, we began tracking him." Izzy listened with Martha.
"But he showed up here." Jack said, "With you two..." He trailed off.
Izzy and Martha glanced at one another then back to Bunny, "What happened then?"
Bunny paused a moment, "... He turned you gals into fearlings and made you go against us."
"We didn't do anything bad? Did we?" Martha asked for Izzy and herself.
"No of course not. Eventually, you two were knocked out and put in here." Jack explained.
The girls looked relieved. "What if that happens again?"
"It wont." Came Bunny's sharp reply.
"We wont let that happen to you two again." Jack agreed.
Then North came in, "Alright... I've got plan... Tooth, Sandy, and I will take a look at the flickering around the world. More than likely, Pitch will be at one of those spots. Jack and Bunny... You two have choice. One stays here and one can go with us."
They both volunteered to stay.
"Bunny, I can protect them. You can go. They'll need you more than me." Jack proposed.
Bunny shook his head, "I'm more experienced. So I should stay and protect them." He argued.
"Bunny," North stopped their proceeding argument, "You come with us. We can trust Jack. And he'll keep them having fun while we're gone."
Bunny frowned and thought about it before looking back at the girls. He sighed heavily and walked to Jack, "Take care of them, Frostbite.." He nodded and Jack did too. Then the four guardians left to fill the world with belief once more.
Jack looked at the two girls as they sat in their beds looking back at Jack.
"So... You two wanna go sledding?"
