It's been three days since Ebony had gone missing. Pitch, Dream and the guardians kept looking. Everyone was worried. They called the search off that night to get some of there job done. Jack went back to his pound and over to a big old tree with a hole at the end of the trunk. He looked around to see if any one was around. Seeing that he was alone he went in. In side the tree was like a small home with little shelves carved into the tree it self and some hand made furniture. The bottom of the tree was dug and carved out to make a to bed room,small kitchen and a home made bathroom. Something like that would have taking a long time to make. Luckily Jack had 300 + more years to make. Jack came in the living room and set down his staff and a small bag. Then walked over and plopped down on the couch. A figure moved in the dark. " Welcome home."
Jack looked up '' You shouldn't be here. You should go home and talk to Pitch." Out of the darkness steeped Ebony. She came over and sat next to Jack." I can't, you heard him. If we want to be together I can't live there." " But there so worried about you." " I know Jack, I know." She put her head down then (grrrrrrrrrrrr...) Jack handed her the small bag. " I thought you might be hungry. Inside it was a burger and fries that he swiped. " Thanks sweaty." she said kissing him on the cheek. Jack knew hiding her was wrong, oh so wrong especially hiding her from Pitch. If he wasn't going to kill him before he sure will now. Jack knew he couldn't hide her for to long. He knew he had to get her to talk to her parents. But how, that was the big question. All that night Jack thought about it. And came to the only conclusion he could. And it will have to be done tomorrow. The longer he waited the worse things will get.
Then next day jack went to Pitch's layer and set his plan into action. But first he had to take a big gamble and tell Dream and Pitch were their daughter was. thankfully Pitch was so received to know his little girl was safe he didn't care about Jack hiding her. But he knew Pitch wouldn't let it go with out some sort of punishment. But Jack would take it like a man, he knew for her it was worth it. So that night when jack came home he didn't come alone this time.
