A God's Princess
Ten: Death
Jacqueline is following North down the elevator.
"Nothing personal North, but what you guys do is just not my thing." she told him as they got down and she looked around because she had been trying to be here for centuries.
"Man in Moon says it is your thing." North told her and moved faster which Jacqueline didn't want.
"Slow down would you, I've been trying to bust in here for years." She said looking around.
"What do you mean bust in?" North asked.
"Don't worry I never get passed the Yetis." She said and turned around to see her favorite of all the Yetis. "Hey Phil." She smiled.
"Keep up." North says. Jacqueline sees everything and it is beautiful.
"I thought the elves made the toys." Jack said.
"We just make them believe that." North tells her as she sees the Elves trying to light themselves as a Christmas tree. She smirks and North leads her to his office. When they arrive she is shocked, she had never seen something like this only one the teachers of Asgard or Loki's room, and everything was made of ice though.
"Fruitcake?" North asks her.
"No thanks." She says.
"Now we get down to tax of brass." North said cracking his knuckles and he knows Tooth is going to murder him later but he needed to know this.
"Tax of brass?" Jack said and when the door closed, she backed to it when North came closer. She had her hand behind her back ready to get her knife out.
"Who are you Jacqueline Frost?" he asked and she was confused. "What is your center?" he asked.
"My center?"
"If Man in Moon choose you to be a Guardian, you must have something very special inside." He told her and got serious before looking for something. 'Here this is how you see me, very big intimidating, but if you get to know me a little well go one." He said giving her the doll. She opened it to see another one.
"You are downright jolly?" she asked.
'Not just jolly." He said and she opened the next one. "I am also mysterious and fearless." He said as she opened the next dolls. "And caring." He came closer to her. "And at my center?" Jacqueline opened the last one and a little doll came out.
"There's a tiny wooden baby." She asked confused.
"Look closer, what do you see?"
"I…I…you have big eyes." she said.
"Yes!" he booms making her jump. "Big eyes, big because they are full of wonder, it is my center." He tells her. "It is what I was born with, eyes that see the wonder in everything, with magic in the air…It is what makes me a Guardian." He tells her as they get outside.
"What is yours?" He asks and she looks at him.
"I don't know." She tells him, she looks up at him and he covered her hand so she takes the tiny wooden baby and she smiles. She hears noise and then Bunny is coming.
"We've got a problem mate, trouble at the Tooth Palace." Bunny said. Jacqueline had a feeling she was going to be dragged into this and she was not wrong.
#
"I told you, I am not going with you guys." Jacqueline told them and she was ignored. She needed to get back to looking for Thor, but she was also wondering what happened in the Tooth Palace. "I'm not getting into some rickety old sleigh." She says and looks as he sleigh is brought out. North seemed to be waiting as Jack got over her shock.
"Okay, just one ride but that's it." She said getting in.
"Everyone loves the sleigh." North said and got in. "Bunny what are you waiting for?" North asked. Bunny hated the sleigh with all his guts, it wasn't safe.
"I think my tunnels might be faster, mate." Bunny says hitting the sleigh. "And safer."
"Ah get int." North said pulling the Pooka inside. "Buckle up"
"We're the bloody seatbelts."
"Ha, that was just expression." North said. "Are we ready?" he asks. He begins the sleigh ride and Bunny is scratching the interior making Jack smile. They get to another part.
"I hope you like loopy-loops?" North says.
"I hope you like carrots." Bunny tells him. They go up in the air and Jack decides to mess with Bunny.
"Woah." She says the view is incredible. "Hey Bunny?" he turns to give her his attention. "Check out this view, wooah…' she says falling down. Bunny felt his heart hit the ground, no she couldn't have.
"North! She just…" Bunny gets his courage and looks over the sleigh to see a smug Jack looking at him.
"Ah, you do care." Bunny glares at her.
"Rack off you bloody show pony."
"Hold on everyone I know a short cut."
"I know I should have taken the tunnels." Bunny said.
"I say, Tooth Palace." North says and the portal opens and they go in.
When they arrive all of them are in shock.
"What?" North says and he fears for Tooth.
"They're taking the tooth fairies." Jack says and she goes up and gets one of the out of the black sand horse's mouth. She lands back on the sleigh and looks at the baby tooth. "Hey there little baby tooth you okay?" she asks and the baby tooth nods her head.
They go inside to see the horse still inside. One is close and North is going to take his shot. "Here take over." He tells Jacqueline and she takes the reigns. North takes down the horse and the boxes fall out.
"They're stealing the teeth." Bunny says and Sandy touches the sand. They are all looking until North says.
"Jack look out!" Jack moves them out of danger and they fall into one of the platforms to see Tooth freaking out.
"Tooth are you alright?" North asks worried.
"They took my fairies and the teeth all of them." She tells them. "Everything is gone, everything." She says falling down to her knees as the other Guardians go to her side. Jacqueline stays down. One of the baby tooth the one she saved comes out of her hood and goes to fly over to Tooth.
"Oh thank goodness one of you is alright." Tooth says.
"I have to say, this s very, very exciting." They all hear the voice and try to locate it. "The big four all in one place. I'm a little star-struck." They all take notice of Pitch and Jacqueline sees him for the first time. "North did you enjoy my little show on the globe it brought you all together didn't I?" Pitch asks and Jack knows as she sees North groan that he had planned it.
"Pitch you have thirty seconds to return my fairies…" Tooth says moving toward him.
"Or what you'll stick a quarter under my pillow." He asks her appearing on the other side.
"What are you doing this?" North asks.
"Maybe I want what you have, to be believed in." Pitch says and Jack looks at him in shock. "Maybe I'm tired of hiding under beds."
"Maybe that's where you belong." Bunny tells him.
'Go suck an egg rabbit." Pitch says under them and Bunny tries to get him.
"Hang on, is that Jack Frost?" Jack looks around. "Since when are you all so chummy?"
"We're not and it's Jacqueline Frost to you." Jack says.
"Oh good a neutral party, a very beautiful neutral party but I'm going to ignore you, but you must be used to that." Pitch says and before Jack can say anything someone else does.
"Pitch shut-up you sneaking little rat bag, come here." Bunny says and get forward. Pitch disappears and Bunny feels someone get his boomerang, Tooth goes up and they see her before the black horse appears in-front of Pitch.
"Easy girl." Pitch says, he touches the sand and shows it to them. "Look familiar Sandman, it took me a while to perfect this little trick, turning dreams into nightmare." He is petting the nightmare and Tooth gives back Bunny's boomerang. "Don't be nervous they smell fear you know."
"What fear no one's been afraid of you since the dark ages." Bunny said.
"Ah the dark ages everyone frightened miserable. Such happy times for me all the power I willed, But then the Man in the Moon choose you to replace my fear with your wonder and light, lifting their hearts and giving them hope." He said. "Meanwhile everyone wrote me off as a bad dream, oh there no such thing as a boogeyman." He says and his glare intensifies. "Well that's all about to change."
They begin to see the walls of the Tooth palace loose color. "Oh look its happening already/"
"What is?" Jack asked. Pitch begins to taunt and tell Jack what is happening. "What's going on?" she asks Tooth.
"Didn't they tell you Jack?" Pitch tells her. "It's great being a Guardian, but there's a catch, if enough kids stop believing in them, everything your friends protect, wonder, hopes and dreams goes away and little by little so do they." He laughs and she is disgusted he is no better than the Jotuns. "There will be no Christmas or Easter or little fairies that come in the night, there will be nothing but fear and darkness and me. It's your turn not to be believed in." Bunny is the one to throw the boomerang and they follow Pitch down. When they get down no one is there.
"He's gone." North says. They begin to rest a bit and Jack looks at Tooth in the floor like that and it's not right.
"Alright I admit it you were right about Pitch." Bunny tells North.
"I'm sorry about the fairies." She says.
"You should have seen them; they've put up such a fight." Tooth says.
"Why would Pitch take the teeth?" Jack asked that confused her.
"It's not the teeth he wanted it's the memories inside them."
"What do you mean?"
"That's why we collect the teeth Jacqueline; they hold the most important memories of childhood." She tells her and they walked over the little pond to the mural. "My fairies and I watch over them and when someone needs to remember what's important we help them." Jack looks at the mural and is surprised.
"We had everyone's here your too." she tells her.
"M-my memories?" Jack asks.
"From when you were young before you became Jack Frost." Tooth says. Jacqueline backed away.
"But I wasn't anyone before I became Jack Frost." She tells Tooth.
"Of course you were, we were all someone before we were chosen."
"What?"
"You should have seen Bunny." North says with a laugh.
"Hey, I told you never to mention that." Bunny says.
"That night at the pond…I…I just assume I?" Jack is in shock. 'Are you saying I had a life before that, with a home and a family?" Tooth looks at her weird.
"You really don't remember." Tooth says.
"All these years the answers were right here." she says to no one she would understand many things like the reason Thor and Loki protect her. "If I find my memories I'll know why I'm here, you have to show me." Jacqueline says. She would complete sixteen years of not knowing what was before.
"But I can't Jack, Pitch has them."
"Then we have to get them back." Jack says. Tooth gasps and looks as some feathers go off her.
"Oh no." She says. "The children we're too late."
"No! No!" North says worried about her. 'There's no such thing as too late." He begins to pace and think things over. "Wait, wait, wait, wait idea." He says pointing his sword at Bunny. "We will collect the teeth."
"What?"
"We collect teeth children keep believing in you." He says.
"You're talking seven continents, millions of kids."
"Give me break you know how many presents I deliver in one night." He says and he knows that out of all the Guardians she should know.
"An eggs I hide in one day." Bunny says.
"And Jack; if you help us, we will get you your memories." North tells her. Jack looks at the Guardians and they smile at her except for Bunny but she is used to that.
"I'm in." she says.
#
They begin to hunt down the teeth.
"Quickly, Quickly." North says moving on top of the rooftops.
"Hop to it, rabbit! I'm five teeth ahead!" Jacqueline tells him.
"Yeah, right! Look I'd tell you to stay out of my way, but really what's the point! Cause you won't keep up with me anyway." Bunny tells her.
"Is that a challenge, Cottontail." She says with a smile.
"You don't want to race a rabbit, mate." He tells her. They looked at each other but are interrupted by North.
"A race! Is it a race?" he says jumping from the chimneys. "This is going to be epic!"
They move around racing and taking the teeth from each other doing it quite fast. When they get to New York, Tooth is very impressed.
"Wow, you guys collect teeth and leave gifts as fast as my fairies." When they looked at her weird she looks at the. "You guys have been leaving gifts right?" she asks. They shake their heads and go back to deliver the presents.
Jack arrives in New Mexico and it's raining especially in the town of Puente Antiguo, for some reason it seemed weird. As she put one of the quarters in the kids pillow she heard a scream, it was painful as if they had lost something. She wanted to check it out.
"Come on Snowflake we still have places to go." Bunny tells her and she follows.

Thor is sitting down in the white room after he was unable to pull Mjolnir off its place. The man in the black suit is looking his way.
"You've made my man some of the most highly trained professionals in the world look like a bunch of minimum wage mall cops." Coulson tells him. "That's hurtful. In my experience, it takes someone who's received similar training to do what you did to them. Why don't you tell me, where you received your training?" Thor is just thinking at what he couldn't accomplish. "Pakistan? Chechnya? Afghanistan? No you strike me more as the soldier of fortune type. Where was it? South Africa? Certain groups pay very well for a good mercenary like you." Coulson says and he wants to get answer but the man says nothing. "Who are you? One way or another, we find out what we need to know. We're good at that." He receives a call and looks at the man in-front of him. "Don't go anywhere." He leaves and as he leaves Loki appears.
"Loki! What are you doing here?"
"I had to see you."
"What happened?" he knows to ask because Loki wouldn't be coming here like this. "Tell me, Is it Jotunheim? Let me explain to Father."
"Father is dead." Loki tells him and Thor feels his world crumbling.
"What?"
"You're banishment, the threat of a new war; it was too much for him to bear. You mustn't blame yourself. I know that you loved him. I tried to tell him so, but he wouldn't listen." He says. "It was cruel to put the hammer within you reach knowing that you could never lift it. The burden of the throne has fallen to me now."
"Can I come home?" Thor pleads; he wouldn't want to leave his family alone.
"The truce with Jotunheim is conditional upon your exile."
"Yes, but couldn't we find a way…"
"And Mother has forbidden your return. Jacqueline doesn't wish to see you either." Loki says. "This is goodbye, Brother, I'm so sorry."
"No, I am sorry. Thank-you for coming here."
"Farewell."
"Goodbye." Thor says.

Jacqueline is currently in Jaime's room with Tooth.
"Left central incisor, knocked out in a freak sledding accident." Tooth says. "I wonder how that could've happened, Jacqueline." She says putting the quarter under the pillow.
"Kid's huh." She says. Tooth looks at Jaime and gets above him hugging her body.
"This was always the part I liked most. Seeing the kids." She sighed. 'Why did I ever stop doing this?"
"It's a little different up close, huh?" Jack asks and she remembers it was something to talk about Jotunheim it was another to see it.
"Thanks for being here, Jacqueline. I wish I'd known about your memory." She said touching Jacks shoulder. "I could have helped you."
"Yeah well…Look let's just get you taken care of. Then it's Pitch's turn."
"Here you are." They both turn to see North coming in through the window. Tooth quiets him down. "What gives, slowpokes? How are you feeling Tooth?" he asks.
"Believed in." Tooth answers with a smile.
"That's what I like to hear."
"I see how it is. All working together to make sure the rabbit gets last place." Bunny says coming out of his hole just to get shush by the others.
"You think I need help to beat a bunny?" she asks taking her bag of teeth out. "Check it out. Peter Cottontail."
"You call that a bag of choppers?" he asks and Sandy can tell those two are flirting by the way their looking at each other. "This is a bag of choppers."
"Lady and Gentleman, this is about Tooth. It's not a competition. But if it was." he says taking the large sack and putting it in-front. "I win!" he says celebrating. Just to be hit by a light. "Oh no."
"Santa Claus!" Jaime says pointing the flashlight. "The Ester Bunny? Sandman? The Tooth Fairy! I knew you'd come!"
"Surprise! We came." Tooth says worried. Jacqueline looks at him.
"He can see us?" she asks.
"Most of us." Bunny tells her and Jacqueline knows the boy can't see her.
"You guys he's still awake." Tooth says.
"Sandy! Knock him out." Bunny says and Sandy punches a fist to his hand. "With the Dreamsand you gumbies!" he says and he begins to be growled on by a dog.
"No, Stop! That's the Easter Bunny! What are you doing, Abbey? Down!" Jaime says.
"All right nobody panic." Jacqueline points at the dog.
"But that's a greyhound. Do you know what greyhounds do to rabbits?" she asks.
"I think it's a pretty safe bet, he's never met a rabbit like me. Six-foot-one, nerves of steel, Master of the tai-chi and the ancient art of…" Jacqueline rolls her eyes and sees the alarm clock it could be a bit of pay back for the comments before. With her staff she touches it and the alarm rings getting the dog alarmed. "Crickey."
"Wait, stop slow down." Jaime says as Abbey chases Bunny around.
"Sandy!" somebody screams.
"She's rabid! Get this dingo off me! Oh no." he finishes as the ball of dreamsand hits his face. One by one the Guardians fall.
"Oops!" Jack says and looked at the dancing carrot. "I really wish I had a camera right now." She says and Sandy shakes his head. They hear one of the nightmares and Jack goes out. "Sandy come on! We can find Pitch!" Jack yells from the outside and Sandy follows.
They both fly together to get the Nightmare.
"Yes!" Jack says getting closer. She gets it. "I got it. Sandy! Sandy did you see that? She asks jumping to the roof and touches what used to be the Nightmare. "Look at this thing."
"Frost?" she turns around and looks at Pitch. "You know for a neutral party. You spend an awful lot of time with those weirdoes." He tells her. "This isn't your fight Jack."
"You made it my fight when you stole those teeth!" Jacqueline tells him.
"Teeth? Why do you care about the teeth?" Pitch asks and jumps when he sees Sandy standing next to him. "Now this is who I'm looking for." He says just to be grabbed by Sandy and flung around, until he lands on the street. Jack and Sandy get close.
"Remind me not to get on your bad side." She tells him and Sandy smiles at her softly.
"Okay, easy. You can't blame me for trying, sandy. You don't know what it's like to be weak and was stupid of me to mess with your dreams." Pitch says getting up and gives them a look. "So I'll tell you what." He glares. "You can have them back."
They both see the Nightmares appearing and surround them.
"You take the ones on the left. I'll take the ones on the right?" Jacqueline tells him. Pitch comes on top of one of the nightmares and looks at them.
"Boo!" and that is the signal to attack. They hear the sleigh and as they look up, Jack is grabbed by Sandy away from the Nightmares and up to the sky. They fight and so do Tooth, Bunny and North. Jack uses some of her knives and gets them back before anyone can see them. She loses her staff and falls when she grabs it back she lands on the sleigh. She looks up to see Bunny and he looks at her.
"You might want to duck." She turns around to see the Nightmare come and Bunny throws his boomerang. She looks back at him and he smirks her way.
Sandy is up fighting the black sand and Jack notices from the sleigh. "We've got to help Sandy!" she says. When Pitch hits Sandy with the arrow, Jack is awestruck. "No!" she screams and goes forward.
"Jack!" Bunny screams.
"Don't fight the fear little man." Pitch mocks.
"Hurry! Hurry Jack." North says from the sleigh. The sand is covering Sandy and he takes it with defiance.
"I'd say sweet dreams." Pitch says. "But there aren't any left."
"Sandy!" North screams.
"No." Jack says. 'No!" she screams as she goes up. Pitch sees her coming and throws his black sand forward. Jack is covered by it, and Pitch thinking he has won until a blue light appears, Jack seems unharmed and she sends blast so strong that it makes the black sand explode and sends Pitch sprawling to the ground. She gets knocked out and North sees.
"Jack!" he screams and Tooth is the one to go catch her. She lays her down on the sleigh and Tooth is looking at her.
"Jack, how did you do that?" she asks. Jacqueline looks at her staff.
"I didn't know I could." She says and they leave toward the North Pole.
