After the head nightmare broke away the other 6 turned into nightmares as well, so those hoof prints in the snow heading into the forest belonged to the real reindeer!

"Lizzie take this!" Yelled Jack as he took out the light from his pocket. Lizzie leaped forward to take it but the other nightmares broke their harnesses and they started their descent. North, Lizzie, Bunny, and the sleigh fell carelessly in the air but the nightmares darted towards Lizzie and her alone.

"Whoa whoa whoa!" She yelled as she crossed her arms In front of her face. Thankfully Jack swooped in in time carrying her in his arms out if the way. Still the nightmares pursued towards their target. The two flew up into the sky to be level with the other falling guardians. The nightmares were gaining on them. Lizzie took the light out of Jack's hand and forced it into her chest. Immediately her wounds stopped their continuous stinging and the circles under her eyes disappeared as the color returned to her skin and her brown strands of hair returned to their sun kissed blonde. Jack let go of her and they both watched the nightmares come speeding towards them. Lizzie had an idea.

"North! Hold on to that sleigh! Sandy! Hold on to North and Tooth hold on to me..." She grabbed her hand and then Jack's. She was about to spread her wings to slow them down until she stopped.

"Where's Bunny?!" She yelled. The nightmares were getting closer. "Look!" Exclaimed North as he pointed to Bunny who was spinning out of control far below. She let go of Tooth and Jack and pulled her wings tightly to her side making her fall faster right in the direction of the nightmares. She heard Jack screaming her name but she ignored him. She knew what she was doing. The nightmares were going full speed in her direction but they started to reconsider that action. They slowed down and hesitated in mid-air wondering what to do. Then she shot strait through each nightmare making them disappear leaving behind specs of sand which were also spread in her hair. Once they disappeared she saw how close they were to the ground. They were about to go strait through a roof to someone's house. She quickly shot down to his level and grabbed the scruff of his neck and pulled up. Their feet barely dragged across the shingles. She shot up even faster and made it to the others, she passed Jack and Bunny grabbed his arm and the others shot up with her. Her wings beat hard and every muscle was stretched because of the weight, it had to be at least 5,000 pounds because of the sleigh. It was a chain made up of guardians and a sleigh. She grabbed Bunny's arm instead of his scruff and continued her difficult ascent. She looked around and she was high in the sky now, still over Burgess. She saw the pond in the woods and got an idea. If she could get them there it would take them all to her home where they could get safe. It was so far. She could go light speed but that could kill them.

"Look!" Shouted Tooth

She looked behind her and saw millions of nightmares appearing from out of the clouds.

"Oh shit..." She beat her wings hard and thrusted forward.

Down below Jack watched her struggle. "Hold this" he grunted as he lifted Tooth's hand and put it into Bunny's, he flew up to Lizzie and they exchanged looks and she nodded in front of them. Then Jack looked toward the lake and then back at the nightmares, they were storming in her direction. He grabbed Bunny's hand and helped her pull. Their speed picked up a little bit but they weren't fast enough. They were close to the lake now and Lizzie's arms and wings were about to give out. She needed to get them to safety.

"Alright dive!" She yelled. She and Jack darted towards the lake at full speed. Luckily there wasn't a layer of ice but the water was freezing. The guardians submerged and then resurfaced.

"Everybody hea? Everybody okay?" Yelled Bunny across the lake as he shook water from his ears.

They all groaned in response. Lizzie looked up to the sky and her eyes widened.

"Everybody get down!" She shrieked. They all plunged under water and Jack quickly froze the top. Lizzie looked around an saw the hole at the bottom that would get them out. Thank god it was big enough for the sleigh. She got Jack's attention and pointed towards the exit and they both swam downward. Her lungs were burning and she was running out of air but she needed to keep going, she fought the urge to cough. They past the others and they followed after them. The nightmares forced themselves against the ice repeatedly but still they had no avail. They got close to the hole and Jack felt himself being sucked in and then shot out of another pond. He landed on damp dirt and coughed up some water. He looked around and realized he wasn't in Burgess. He was in Ireland, her home. He could make out her castle in the distance. The sun was sitting on the horizon beginning to set. Then one by one they all popped out of the water. Bunny, Tooth, Sandy and Lizzie, all coughing, Lizzie the most. Jack rushed over and helped her onto her feet.

He looked down to meet her eyes. "You okay? You alright?" he asked as he placed both hands on the sides of her face. She nodded. "Where's North?" She was catching her breath but she held up three fingers and started counting down. Once she got to one she pointed behind her and out popped the sleigh which bobbed slightly on the surface with a sopping wet North inside. He pushed his hat away from his eyes and gave a thumbs up.

"Oh... Alrighty then. Here North, lemme help you with that." He said as he walked over to North who had pulled the sleigh out of the water.

"Oh no no, that won't be necessary." Said Lizzie. She looked to her castle, put two fingers in her mouth and whistled, it seemed to echo throughout the valley. Then a cluster of little lights flowed from the castle and in their direction. They all gathered around Lizzie and buzzed with delight. She giggled. Jack got a good look of one. It was a little ball of fire with a pair of wings that were also aflame. It had two little black dots for eyes and little mouth. Jack thought it was actually kind of cute. It reminded him of one of Tooth's mini fairies except Tooth's weren't on fire.

"Hello girls! We need your help to get the sleigh back home." She said.

A firefly looked at the sleigh and then at their empty harnesses. A few minutes passed and she got an excited look on her face, she turned around and buzzed her idea to her sisters and then to Lizzie. The fireflies flew over to the sleigh and separated their cluster into seven small groups each flying over to a harness. They each started to take the shape of something and Jack's eyes widened with wonder. Each group transformed into a reindeer, they sparkled and radiated heat. Lizzie fluttered in front of them and motioned for everyone to get on which they did with very amazed looks on their faces.

"Alright... And... Lift!" She commanded and the firefly-reindeers kicked off from the ground and started in the direction of her castle.
