I decided to do a chapter from Sandy's POV and not just the scene where he 'died' but also what happened after wards. Italics are Sandy's thoughts. I think I did a pretty good job portraying Sandy in this chapter and how I figure he would feel when Jack is turned away by the other Guardians, among other things.

I close my eyes as the black sand overtakes my body, knowing there is nothing I can do though I wish there was as I hear Jack's voice screaming on word, just one simple word, no. "I'm sorry my friends but I tried and can't fight this please forgive me." I think as I feel my body changing into one of Pitch's nightmares.

I open my eyes just as the other nightmares around me swarm downwards towards Jack and North's sleigh where North, Bunny and tooth all watched in horror as Jack was overcome by the nightmares. "No, I don't want this don't make me fight my friends." I try to fight against Pitch's order to attack the others but his will is too strong and I'm left with no choice.

There is a sudden flash of blue light and I know, am overjoyed even, that Jack is able to unleash his full power but I'm sad that it took my death and the anger, the hurt of watching me become one of Pitch's nightmares for him to be able to do it. "Thank you Jack." I think as the black sand holding my mind and spirit is frozen then broken apart from his ice and I'm once more set free.

Opening my eyes once more I watch in horror as Jack falls from the sky after using so much of his power and rush down to try and catch him but Tooth beats me to him and gently sets him down in the sleigh as I land, gratefully, beside her. Knowing that none of them will be able to see me since my body was destroyed by Pitch I silently, as always, stay by them for I know that they will be needing each other now more than ever after having to watch what they did.

I join my friends and fellow Guardians as they sadly, slowly, make their way into the workshop, holding back their tears, trying to remain strong in front of the youngest of us. The minute their all inside Jack pulled away from them, drawing his hood up over his head and all North, Tooth and Bunny can do is tearfully watch him go. Knowing that the three of them will have each other I go after Jack to try and offer what little comfort I can bring him.

As we sit there alone I gently lay a hand on Jack's knee or at least try to as it goes right through him but his reaction lets me know he had felt me attempt to touch him when he jerks his head to glance down at his knee. "I'm sorry I couldn't get to you in time Sandy." He sobbed though no tears fell.

I float around in front of him, a sad smile on my face. "Oh Jack it's not your fault, please don't blame yourself for what happened." I silently beg him but he just turns away to stare out the window, lifting a hand and lightly touched a single finger to the glass where a frost picture of me forms just as North finds him.

After a few words from North Jack stood up, letting his hood fall to once more rest against his back, and the two of them join Tooth in the globe room not realizing that I'm just behind them. "It's fear, he's tipped the balance." Jack tells them as he floats up near the top of the globe. Just then Bunny came into the room and gives them hope, telling them that if they will help him with Easter then they could get the lights flickering again.

I laugh at the look on North's face when Bunny opened up a tunnel underneath them all and allow myself to be pulled into the tunnel with them, enjoying the ride down as much as Jack seems to be. Not long after we arrived in the Warren Bunny's ears and nose are twitching and we soon hear an unknown screaming coming from one of the tunnels before us. As the four of them, plus two of North's yetis, charge where the screaming is coming from at least until they discover it's only a little girl and quickly put away their weapons. "Sophie?" Jack states in the form of a question as she started chasing the single elf that had fallen in after us.

"What is she doing here?" Bunny asked, resulting in North feeling his coat and realizing that his globe portal is missing which explained how a human child got into the Warren. After Tooth's attempt in distracting Sophie, that ended with the child screaming and running away from Tooth, Jack stepped in, creating a snowflake and sent it Bunny's way where it landed on his nose and disappeared in blue sparkles.

After all the eggs are painted and making their way to the tunnels leading out of the Warren and Sophie fell asleep in Bunny's arms Jack offered to take her home though it took some persuading on Jack's part and I decided to follow him to make sure he doesn't get in any trouble, Baby Tooth coming along as well.

Having finally gotten her to release his neck Jack ended up throwing a blanket and stuffed toy on top of her before flying out of the room, closing the window behind him and Baby Tooth when a bodiless voice called out Jack's name catching his attention. Though both Baby tooth and I try to get him to ignore the voice he refused to not listen, determined to find out who is calling his name, having recognized the voice.

Reaching a hole in the ground with a falling apart bed frame Jack breaks part of it before jumping down into the hole, Baby Tooth nervously flitting in behind him giving me no choice but to sigh and follow them both even though I knew we're entering into a trap set up by Pitch. My anger at Pitch grows as I am forced to watch him taunt Jack with his memories and fear of remaining invisible for the rest of his immortal life and being rejected by the Guardians before telling him that he makes a mess where ever he goes and is making one right now, tossing him his teeth as he disappeared into his shadows, Jack charging after him.

I trail behind Jack as he followed the path of broken eggs leading to a park in time to witness the children stop believing in Bunny, one of them walking right through him causing Bunny to curl up in a ball in sorrow. Though I want to be able to do something to help Jack as first Bunny then North and finally Tooth turn away from Jack I can only watch ending with Jack flying off, hurting, that they didn't even give him the chance to explain what happened.

Why didn't you let him tell you what happened? He's still a child, even if he is immortal like us, and you turn away from him just because you're all hurting. I guess the oath you all took means nothing to you!" I scold them all in my head, knowing they will never hear me unless I can get my body back, then turn and fly off in an attempt to find Jack.

I don't find him until that night when he gained his first believer, having heard his voice coming from the bedroom of a boy named Jamie Bennett, the last light lit up on the globe, and made sure to stick around knowing once Pitch found out about Jamie he would stop at nothing to snuff out his belief in us.

After Jack's failed attempt at stopping Pitch the group of my friends and six children, now able to see Jack as well, are completely surrounded by Pitch's nightmares and, just as the first wave of them are about to overcome them, Jamie held up a hand which resulted in the black sand turning back into my own gold sand to everyone, but Pitch's, delight mine especially and I move away from them to gather my dream sand around myself reforming my body as the final battle began.

Once my body is reformed I notice Pitch is about to injure Jack and I quickly send a whip his way, wrapping it around his wrist, dragging him towards me and appear before him, his eyes opening wide in terror upon seeing me. I wave my finger in front of his face before punching him on his chin and sent him flying up into the sky, my whip still bound to his wrist.

Glad to be back in my body I greet everyone, swearing to myself that I will scold North, Bunny and Tooth later for how they turned away from Jack later once we are back at the Pole and Pitch is defeated.
