Chapter 6

Alicia sighed as she looked up. She had found the perfect spot in a tree to lie and watch the town.

Kids were playing snowball fights and parents shivering going to work by foot since their cars were frozen. It felt foreign for her. The happiness and laughter; it was strange.

"You know spying on children are rude" A cold voice said from behind. Alicia gasped and fell out of the tree into a snow bank. If I get that clown he's gonna-

When she looked up all the color drained from her face. Jack.

Indeed. Jack was laughing holding his staff in his hands.

"Oh you should've seen your face!" He said and kept laughing. Alicia on the other hand was stunned and if she had a heart beat it would beat a 1000 miles per second.

Get out! Get out! Her mind yelled but she was paralyzed.

He stopped laughing and held out his hand. "Here let me help" He said with a smirk.

Not this time Frost. She thought. She made a snowball behind her back and went to take his hand. But she stopped mere centre meters away when she saw it.

Flashback

"Wh-Why am I not burning her?" Jack asked himself, confused that he didn't burn Alicia from the touch.

"S-sim-m-pp-le r-real-ly, I'm-m m-mortal" Alicia coughed and found the energy to slowly open her eyes.

"What happened?" He asked. "Magic's gone" Alicia said and felt her eyes start to droop into a deep slumber.

"D-do m-me a-a f-fa-avor Frostbite. K-keep an eye on Spring and Bunny" She whispered out and coughed. "Save your strength!" He shouted at her but she didn't listen.

"Be good to Tooth and make her happy." She said and felt herself tearing up. "Please" Jack whispered.

"Tell Bunny I'm sorry" She whispered and her eyes shut. One last tear escaped her before she was gone.

Jack's eyes widened when she fell limp in the snow. Tears fell down his face but froze before it could get far. "No, please no. Don't leave me, don't leave Bunny or the others! Please…" Jack said.

Bunny's eyes widened, "Jack!" He yelled and Jack's head shot to him. Bunny quickly hopped his way to Jack. "Bunny?" He asked and Bunny nodded.

Bunny kneeled beside her, not saying a word as he brushed the brown locks out of her face. His eyes fell on Jack's hand on her arm but something wasn't right.

"What happened to ya hand frostbite?" Bunny asked ignoring the sorrow that fell upon him. Jack looked at his hand.

His eye grew wide when he saw something blue in his palm glow slightly. "Wha-what is this?" Jack touched it and winced slightly.

They were interrupted by a ring of bells and the other Guardians came down in the slay.

End of Flashback

Alicia's eyes grew wide and she jerked back. She looked at her hands and then at Jack whose eyes where just as wide. Get out!

This time she ran into the woods trying to get as far away as possible. What happened?! I-I don't understand! She yelled in her mind.

Her death was still blurry although she saw through Jack's eyes. She felt the incredible pain of both Bunny and Jack. She couldn't take it, it was too much.

She was brought out of her thoughts when cold arms caught her. "Hey! Hey! It's okay. It's okay" Jack said. Alicia tried to break free and resulted falling backward after kicking Jack in the stomach.

"Hey! I'm not gonna hurt you! I just wanted to know how you did that!" Jack said and coughed. Alicia stopped and looked around at Jack. Wait doesn't he…recognize me? She thought.

"Wow, you have a strong kick." Jack said and stood up. He brushed of the snow from his face and looked directly at her.

It was an intense stare until he broke it and let the wind bring him in front of her.

"So what's your name?" Jack asked. Alicia looked at him shocked. So he doesn't recognize me? It's only natural because I looked completely different. Alicia thought.

She went to answer him but covered her mouth. Oh yeah can't make a sound. She remembered. "What's wrong? Cat got you tong?" Jack asked and she stared at him.

No actually the Moon does. She thought and saw Jack's head snap next to him as if hearing something.

He looked back at her and she showed him that she could make no sound.

"No…voice?" He asked and Alicia nodded. "Well how will I know your name then?" He asked and she shrugged.

She turned and walked away. "Hey! Come on! I'll just have to guess" He said and she huffed.

"Okay where to begin…um…Anna?" He asked but she kept walking. "Okay I'm on a roll"

"Anna, Annabeth, Alex, Alexandra, Bethany, Britney, Cindy, Crystal, Donna, Diana!" Jack said and Alicia snapped around.

Did he just say-

"So that's your name…Diana. It's a nice name" Jack said. Alicia face palmed and sighed. He is the biggest idiot I've ever seen.

"Alright who said that?!" Jack yelled suddenly and Alicia jumped back in surprise. "Come out! I know your there!" Jack yelled. Without knowing it Alicia smirked, so he can hear me.

Oh Jack! Jack! Alicia yelled and Jack's head snapped back at her. She shrugged her shoulders and raised an eyebrow.

"Didn't you hear that?" Jack asked and Alicia shook her head. Inside she was secretly laughing at Jack.

Oh Jack sometimes you're just not as smart as you led on.

"It sounded like-"Jack talked on but Alicia's eyes widened when she saw the sun set. Oh No! She yelled and ran into the woods.

"Hey! Could you stop running already?!" Jack yelled and tackled her. They rolled down in under a tree and Jack was on top.

"You don't have to be afraid of me. I'm not going to hurt you" Jack said but Alicia still struggled.

She looked up and saw the moon coming up joining the night sky. Her eyes started to glow as she struggled and Jack's eyes widened. He was suddenly shot back by a wind that he half blocked with his staff.

Alicia took the opportunity to quickly hide behind a tree from the moon. She breathed heavy although no sound came of it.

"Are-are you afraid of the moon?" Jack asked coming next to her. Alicia abruptly nodded.

"But why? He's the one that brought you back. There's nothing to fear" Jack said and Alicia shook her head.

"What? Didn't he? Then how are you here?" Jack asked confused. Alicia saw his confusion and went to touch his face. Here goes.

Jack's eyes widened when he saw the scene in front of him.

It was a dark room where the girl he came to known as Diana was on the floor looking like she was attacked. The thing that surprised him the most was Pitch kneeling by her side.

"You are now Sorrow, the Spirit of Sorrow and Despair" Pitch said.

Jack snapped back into reality and looked up but she was gone. He knew her name it was…Sorrow. She didn't have a voice and Pitch was the one to bring her back.
