Jack quickly entered the hole along with the other Guardians. It had been decades if not centuries since Jack became a Guardian and defeated Pitch. The problem was no-one, not even the children, had seen heard or seen him since. No children were getting nightmares or fears and the Guardians although should have been happy, couldn't help feeling uneasy.

"PITCH…"

Jack was the one to call out into the darkness known as Pitch's home.

"PITCH…"

Silence followed and the Guardians started to feel worse. Slowly and carefully the group make their way further into the lair.

Each guardian was on high alert and tense so it was no surprise when a scream filled the air all of them jumped. Unfortunately for Sandy and Toothiana, who were flying, ended up hitting their heads on the ceiling along with Bunnymund, whose back legs had been so tense when he jumped the muscles released sending him flying.

Once they had realised they had heard Pitch's scream they all began racing down any and every tunnel that sounded like it lead to the fear spirit. By some shear good lick they seemed to have navigated the maze of tunnels are where drawing closer to Pitch, who now sounded like he was arguing with someone.

"No! I refuse."

"You refuse? Seriously Pitch you refuse? It's just a game, just a bit of fun."

"That's not fun it's a heart attack waiting to happen."

"I thought you were the spirit of fear. I thought you'd like this."

"Just because I am the spirit of fear does not mean I like to experience said fear."

The Guardians slowly drew closer and could identify the first voice definitely being Pitch's and the second sounded like a girls. The Guardians didn't know what was surprising them more. Pitch having company or Pitch having female company.

The Guardians turn another corner and stop.

In front of them was a large room with multiple doors, each having a picture and writing on. They could only see two clearly. One had a picture of what appeared to be a black dragon eating its own tail with the letters HTTYD underneath, the other had a side view of a dragon with the words Dragon Age written underneath.

On the other side of the room was Pitch, his back was to the Guardians and he clearly didn't know they were there. In front of him stood a girl, no older then Jack.

She had white hair and pale skin, she seemed to be wearing a dark blue hoody and black leg tight bottoms. For a second they thought they were looking at a female Jack until they saw her eyes. They were blood red.

Seeing how similar she looked to Jack and having heard their conversation about fun the Guardians automatically got ready to attack. Their first thought was Pitch had somehow found a way to clone Jack and had corrupted her.

The Guardians were about to charge when each of them met her eyes. Once they locked eyes with her they froze. A small smile played on her lips, giving them a quick wink she began to speak again.

"Oh come on Pitch it is just a childish game. You can't tell me the big bad boggieman, the Nightmare King, the embodiment and spirit of fear is scared of a child's game?"

The Guardians didn't need to see Pitch's face to now the look he was giving, the shadows that grew larger and darker where indication enough.

"Don't you dare insult me! I AM THE NGHTMARE KING. I CONTROL THE NIGHTMARES AND FEAR ITSELF. I DO NOT FEAR."

After that sort of speech anyone else would have been cowering as Pitch had called on the shadows to make himself taller and scarier. Even the Guardians had leaned back a little and where very surprised when the smile on the girls lips simply widened before opening to speak again.

"Well the Pitch, why don't you prove it? It was not more than ten minutes ago you screamed like a girl. Though don't worry if you don't want another go its fine but I bet Jack Frost would play it without screaming and he's not even the spirit of fear."

The shadows grew eve darker and the Guardians saw Pitch tense before taking a few steps forward. The Guardians got ready to attack once again when Pitch leaned over a spoke in the girl's ear, before relaxing as he stood straight once again and walking through the door behind her. Once the door was shut and the Guardians were left in the room with the mysterious girl did they relax and put their weapons away.

The girl quickly crossed the room towards them.

"Hey there. What can I do for you?"

The Guardians stood and stared for a few moment before Toothiana flew forward a little.

"Um... Hi. We are the Guardians. Santa Claus, Sandman, the Easter Bunny, Jack Frost and me the Tooth Fairy."

The girl smiled.

"I know who you all are thanks Toothiana but that doesn't answer my question of why you are here."

The Guardians quickly exchanged glances and shoulder shrugs until Jack stepped forward.

"Ok, Well we are here to check on Pitch. No-one has heard or seen him in decades so we just wanted to check he was ok."

The girl nodded her head.

"Right, but from what I heard it wasn't strange for Pitch to go missing for long periods of time. In face most would prefer him to disappear altogether. So why has that suddenly changed?"

The Guardians looked a little uneasy. Before any of them could speak once again another scream filled the air. The girl's smile widened once again before she turned around. The door Pitch had walked through before opened once again and Pitch came running out. Fear was emotion on his face as he quickly ran passed the Guardians and down the tunnel, screaming the entire time. The Guardians turned to look at the girl once again who was now laughing.

"So much for the fearless spirit of fear."
