Fucking hell, Antarctica is freezing! If it weren't for the jacket, I'd be an ice cube. Pitch and I arrived there just before Jack landed. I was still in the cage, but Pitch quickly changed it into a thick rope that wound loosely around my neck, with a length of sand that returned to his hand, like a leash, like I was a dog. The pair of us concealed ourselves behind a large mound of snow.

Jack arrived, and like in the movie, he went to throw his teeth over the edge, but decided against it. It was then that Pitch decided to reveal himself, and he and Jack then proceeded to fight. Which resulted, not in injury, but in a large, beautiful ice sculpture. Then Pitch started to talk about them partnering up and shit. I didn't pay attention, I already knew what the gist was. Then Pitch asked Jack for his staff, and I knew that it was my time to shine. Pitch pulled on the leash, and I was dragged from behind the snow and next to him.

"CLAIRE! Let her go." Jack hissed, venom dripping from the last three words.

"The staff, Jack" Pitch reached out his hand. "In exchange for her."

I then felt the sand around my neck start to tighten, I tried pulling at it, but it was useless.

I tried to talk, but it came out as a strangled breath.

He's trying to kill me? After I was so fucking nice to him?! Douchebag…

Jack handed over the staff,

"Now, let her go." His face was a mask of pure determination.

"No"

I was still being fucking strangled, so my survival instincts kicked in, literally, I kicked Pitch in the shin, hard. That really made him pissed, so the bastard threw me into a damn hole. Like what he did to Baby Tooth in the movie. I smashed into an ice wall before falling into the hole. A loud crack pierced the silence. I was unconscious before I hit the bottom.

JACK'S POV!

I gave my staff to Pitch. I had to, I was freaking desperate, the guy was strangling Claire for goodness sake!. I asked for Claire, but Pitch refused. Claire the kicked him in the shin, and he flung her into a wall and she fell into the hole below. I cringed at the loud crack when she hit the wall, I could swear, that from the corner of my eye, I saw Pitch cringe too.

Pitch then snapped my staff over his knee, and a wave of the most unbearable pain washed over my body. The pain was equal to that of losing a limb. Pitch then did the same to me as he did to Claire. I even hit the wall right next to where Claire hit it. I fell down the chasm, hitting the walls as I went. When I landed, a whole new pain spread through me. Pitch threw the two halves of my staff down the hole after me, and they landed with a clunk. I managed to pull myself up and I saw Claire, lying on the ground, unconscious. I crawled over to her, cringing again as I saw the dark bruises around her neck.

"Claire? Can you hear me?"

She groaned in response, as her eyes fluttered open.

"Hey, Jack" Her voice was raspy, as if it hurt to talk.

I collapsed on top of her and hugged her, taking care to avoid the bruises on her neck. Delicately, I pulled the pair of us up so we were resting against the side of the chasm. I could feel her shivering next to me, wrapping her jacket around herself.

Wait, she wasn't wearing a jacket before. There's no way that Pitch would've given it to her, but the colour says otherwise. I imagine his wardrobe has little variety in colour.

"Sorry, I can only keep you cold."

She just leaned her head on my shoulder, and I leaned my head against hers.

Then, a golden glow came from the pocket of my jacket. I reached in, and pulled out my teeth. Claire sleepily reached out an arm and softly stroked the container. I did the same, but when I did it, all these weird diamond things appeared, and I was looking at my memories.

CLAIRE'S POV!

I was completely surrounded by white. There was no hint as to the how far it went, for all I knew it could go on forever. Just as I was about to freak out, a young man, about 20 years old, appeared out of nowhere. He was completely bald and had a very handsome face. He was dressed in a pale silver suit that seemed to glow.

"Who are you?"

"I am Man in the Moon, but you can call me Manny." He smiled "And you, are Claire."

"How do you know my name?"

"I know all, and besides, it was you that asked me to be in this world."

"That was you? Awesome!"

Manny chuckled

"Manny, can I ask you something?"

He nodded

"What is happening in my world, are they missing me? Eliza would have noticed my disappearance and called the police!"

"The moment you left that world, the memory of you left too. There is no trace of your existence. No one remembers you, according to them, you never existed."

Tears welled up in my eyes, and spilled down my cheeks,

"So, no one remembers me? Even my parents?"

"No, their life in Japan will continue, without memories of their daughter, who remained in Australia when they left for their holiday."

"Is there any way that I can get back home?"

I took his silence as an answer

The tears became thicker, and I started sobbing. Manny walked over and hugged me,

"Claire, can you hear me?"

Huh, that's Jack's voice…

Ugh, everything hurts, and the freezing air isn't helping. I like the cold, but not when it's this cold! Then, I heard I distant voice, that sounded like Jack,

"Claire, can you hear me?"

I struggled to open my eyes, but eventually, I managed it.

"Hey, Jack"

Ouch, it hurts to talk. It feels like I swallowed rusty nails.

I felt a weight on me, and I looked down, only to see Jack basically on top of me, hugging me. He then softly pulled us up, and leaned us against the freezing wall. I was shivering, a lot. Fuck this cold.

"Sorry, I can only keep you cold"

Instead of answering, I leant my head on his shoulder.

Wait Claire, do you like Jack, or do you like Pitch? Why the hell did you just lean on him?! I am so fucking confused right now.

A golden glow came from Jack's hoodie, and he pulled out the pretty container that held his teeth. Without thinking, I reached out my arm, and sleepily stroked the lid of the box, and Jack followed my example, and I knew that it was now that Jack saw his memories.

While in the movie, it takes about 10 minutes from Jack's perspective to remember everything, from my view, it lasted seconds. Shock covered Jack's face.

"Did you see that?" he said excitedly

"Nope" I lied, I knew exactly what he just saw, and I just thought it would be easier to lie about it. At least my voice was getting better.

"I saved her!" Jack kept repeating. Suddenly, he crawled over to his staff, leaving me to fall, with the loss of my leaning post.

"Owwwww"

Jack didn't hear, or he was just so determined that he paid no attention. He grabbed both halves of his staff, and held them together. He had his back to me, so I couldn't really see anything. After what felt like a minute, he turned around, with his staff back to its original, unbroken form.

"Can you fly?"

I stood up, and flew a few metres into the air, but pain filled every cell of my body and I fell back again.

"It would seem not." Jack then wound one arm tightly around my waist and took off, speeding back to Burgess.

As we flew, we spoke. Well, yelled would be the better word, as the wind snatched away most of our words.

"I'M SO SORRY THAT I LEFT YOU IN THAT BASTARDS CAVE. DID HE DO ANYTHING TO YOU?"

I shook my head in response, unable to speak.

"THANK GOODNESS. AT LEAST WE'RE OUT OF THERE NOW"

I nodded.

All this yelling continued for another few minutes, then we flew in silence until we arrived at Burgess. Jack took a detour to Jamie Bennett's house.

"Wait here" He left me in the garden, just below Jamie's window. I stood there, bored out of my freaking mind, and praying that no one would see me, when I heard excited laughter coming from Jamie's bedroom.

Congrats Jack, your first Believer, apart from me that is.

Helloo!

Thanks again to all who have reviewed!

Jack finally has a vote in the poll, but I am still writing both endings :)

That's pretty much all I needed to say, but I won't be able to update as often, because school starts again tomorrow.

I love you guys
