Nightmares were searching the seasons for the lost boy, their king would not like it if they let him go like that...

At the moment looking through Spring's season having seen him come this way. They were leaving no tree or cave unsearched determined to find him.

Down on the ground Jack was looking for the Nightmares to get their attention. Finally finding one, he picked up a stone and threw it as hard as he can at it making the rock go straight through it and look to where it came from seeing the boy.

Seeing he had got their attention, Jack began running giving off as much fear as he could to call the others to make sure he was taken.

o0o
After calling their brothers, the Nightmares set off after the boy and persisted until he was in the open and surrounded.

Coming to the front the lead Nightmare came up and charged at the boy knocking him out. Once that was done he picked him up by the collar of the shirt and together they set off to Winter's palace and their king.

Off to the side, under the cloak, and in the shadows, Rapunzel, Hiccup, Merida, and the others were waiting until the clearing was empty and then they set off for Jack's palace as well.

When they got there they were a bit shocked at what they saw...

"What has Pitch done to this place?" Rapunzel asked her eyes wide.

Where everything used to be ice to light blue, it was now black, extra shards of black ice were coming off the walls and making the place bigger and more terrifying than it was before.

The polar bear guards were inside slightly too small cadges both wearing collars and the Elementals that could be seen watching the perimeter of the palace, were all chained up.

"Pitch must really... hate Jack if he's done all this to the boy's house," Eugene said quietly getting nods from the others as they circled around the back like Jack had told them to do.

o0o

Inside the Nightmares were coming towards their king with their prize.

"Ah, finally the Bennett boy," Pitch said a big grin on his face as he stood up meaning Snow who was serving him some food was knocked down.

Feeling a familiar presence Snow looked up trying to find it and found herself looking to the boy. Closing her eyes, she searched again and saw Jack.

"Now Jack, if he survived the fight with Mordu, will most definitely come... Put him with the others."

Nodding the Nightmare went to pick the boy up again when Snow spoke up.

"My Lord... May... May I be the one to take Jack's favorite kid to the dungeon?" she asked trying to be brave but was still scared at what Pitch could do if he was mad that she spoke out of turn.

"If you must..." Pitch said waving his hand so her chains came undone "But come straight back, with a new tray of food, you dropped this one."

Curtsying to him in understanding and thanks for not harming her, Snow quickly went up to the boy and lead him to the dungeons.

o0o

Once they were out of the room and down the stairs a bit she spoke up in a hushed voice.

"Sir... what are you doing here? It's dangerous..."

"I'm here to help save everyone Snow..." Jack said just as quietly letting her lead him to where they needed to go.

"But... But..." Snow said trying to find an excuse.

"It will be fine Snow... Trust me..." Jack said smiling his trusting smile which worked even if it was in his human child's side. "All I need is to get to the others, and free them and then get to the other others who should be coming in from the back so they should be coming up next to the kitchens soonish."

"Are you sure this will work..." Snow asked worried.

"Hey come on... Have I ever put you in danger?" Jack asked looking to her right in the eyes.

"I'll see if I can meet the others once they come out of the tunnel then Sir," Snow said nodding "But I don't think I can stay for too long if they're not there..."

"Just do your best Snow," Jack said hugging her smiling "And thanks..."

With that they tracked the rest of the way to the dungeon in silence.

(*)(*)(*)

In the dungeons, the half that stayed behind were split up into three, the kids, the adults, and the Guardians.

The kids were all huddled together trying not to think about where they are or what was happening.

Meanwhile, Stoick, Richard, Furgess along with Bunny and North in their own cell, were trying to bust the bars off and escape.

Emily Jane had given up trying to explain it was a waste of time and was just huddled up with Sandy and Tooth, while Elinor and Sarah were sat together in their cell trying to think up ways to keep the kids happy.

Just then the main door opened and that got everyone to look up in worry but were shocked to see Snow leading Jamie in and shoving him towards the kids cell. Once he was him, and the door was shut, she looked around with a sorry face and left, giving one last glance to Jamie as she did.

"Jamie..." Sophie cried out as she came running up to her brother but then backed off. "Why are you so cold..."

"Because I'm not Jamie, Squirtette..." Jack said taking out his doll and changing back to himself wearing his blue hoodie and brown pants.

"JACK!" everyone called out glad to see him and began asking questions.

"SHHHH..." Jack said glaring at them "Pitch doesn't know it's really me so don't speak too loudly about it.

"Jack..." Sarah asked coming up "Rapunzel... Is she ok?"

"She's fine Sarah, and so are Hiccup and Merida and the others," Jack said looking to the other parents "And Jamie's fine too. He's staying with Amber and the other Seasons at her place." he said looking to the kids. "Oh and Mordu's gone now too."

"Well that's something I guess..." Bunny said getting nods from the others.

"Ok so first thing..." Jack said putting his hand into his pocket and pulling out Hiccup's dagger, only for it to turn dragon-blood green and lengthened itself to a sword with a hand-guard and snowflakes up the and down the blade.

Then after telling the kids to stand back, he struck the bars making them break and let him come out. Once he was he went over to the leaver and switched it, opening the other two doors.

After a warm welcome from everyone, Jack gave the adults a snowglobe and told them to take the kids and wait for them at Amber's.

After a slight argument, but agreeing it would be best, Stoick, Fergus, Elinor, Richard and Sarah left along with the kids.

"Right," Jack said taking charge "Now... Lets get this 'King' out of my castle..."

With that they left and began to head for the kitchens to meet up with the others.
