He tapped the ice with his staff, little bits of frost twisted and curled at impact with the ice. Jack paced wondering what he was going to say to Violet.

"Hey Vi. Guess what? You're a guardian."

"Look last night with the guardians the moon chose you to join us."

"Pitch is back. We need you to join us for we need your help."

He shook his head at all the possible ways he could bring it to her. Why was it so hard? It could be because of the fact that he had to tell her who she really was. A secret he kept hidden from her for years now. If he didn't tell her who she was then she could never fully be a guardian. If anyone should know better it was him. He was in her exact same position a while back. He was just scared though. Scared of how she would react. Unlike the other guardians, Violet was his best friend and she meant everything to him. To lose her meant he'd lose apart of himself. Even if he wouldn't admit he did love her.


"So Frost's new fear is losing her?" Pitch said. He could feel it. He always felt fear. This fear was stronger than his last. Last time he was scared that no one would ever believe in him, now he was afraid of what Violet thought if she found out about her past. This kept getting easier and easier. If Jack was broken then he would be weak and getting rid of him would be simple.


"Jack is something on your mind?" The white haired boy snapped out if his thoughts.

"What?" He blinked. He seemed out of it lately. She could tell something was up.

"Oh." He shook his head. "Last night..." He started. "It's Pitch. He's back. And now you were chosen. Chosen to be one of us. A guardian."

Violet took her time processing the news. "What?" She looked at him confused. "A guardian? But I...I don't think I'm ready for it." She said. She wasn't sure if she could take on this responsibility.

Jack sighed. "Look Vi." He grabbed her shoulders and stared into her eyes. Even if they weren't the blue eyes he first met her he still saw the Violet he had fallen in love with. "You are. You don't remember it but I know that you always saved people. It was who you were and it's who you've always been."

Her eyes furrowed as she looked at him confused. "What do you mean who I was?" She asked. She stepped back and shook her head. "Wait...you're saying I was someone before I was...me? I wasn't always like this?"

"No! I meant..." He didn't know what to say exactly. "You were always you. I meant that you were once a normal girl. Well...not exactly normal." He bit the side of his lip.

"You're not making any sense Jack."

He scratched his hair. This was harder than he thought. Jack went to say something when suddenly a familiar neigh was heard and a nightmare was fast approaching the the two.

"LOOK OUT!" He pushed Violet out of the way as it whooshed past them. "Pitch."


Several lights were going out on the large globe at the North Pole. "We need Jack to hurry. Pitch is already starting to take over." North said looking at the globe.

"He should've been back by now." Tooth said worried. "With Violet."

Bunny hopped in and added. "Remember the kid didn't want to tell her. It's going to take time to process."

"I still think we should check on them though. Pitch is already on the move and we need to get them to deal with it and get on with the task." Tooth although she cared for the children, she cared for the other guardians too, but her duty was too the children like the rest of them.

The golden guardian who never spoke made two images above his head. A snowflake, representing Jack and a violet flower representing Violet. He was clearly saying they needed to find them now.

North rubbed his temples and then stood strongly. "Everyone to the sleigh!" He ordered and walked in its direction not even noticing Bunny's shocked expression. He clearly was no fan of the sleigh.


"If I want his fears to come out I'm going to need to act now." Pitch said. If anyone was listening, all there were was just his Nightmares. Fiercely turning to one and pointing to them. "You. Get the girl." He ordered and the Mare flew off into the darkness of his lair. He then faces the others. "The rest of yous...we've got nightmares to give." He smiled coldly as the rest flew off in separate directions. He will not fail this time.
