Once back in the small town, Jack saw that everything was plunged into darkness just as he calculated. He went into the woods to find a good branch to sleep in. Since he's a spirit he doesn't need sleep, but it helps to pass the time. As soon as he was comfortable he couldn't stop a smirk from appearing on his face, he had just heard Bunny and North groans. Five minutes later and they were gone, Jack knew they had followed him to the town. Of course, him being the mischievous spirit that he was, he just had to teach them a little lesson to never underestimate Jack Frost. Besides, now that they were gone he could use his secret power to find the boy. With a wave of his staff, three magnificent ice wolves appear before him.
- Zack, Luke, Clark! I need you to find that boy, go!
With that command, the wolves started to run through the town. While Jack stayed behind thinking about his ability, to simulate life. He discovered it when trying to keep Jamie believing and secretly practice after everything was calm. Don't get him wrong, he loved his power and felt proud of them, but the resemblance with Pitch's Nightmares was unsettling. You could say that he was nervous because he didn't know how the guardians would react, especially the Kangaroo. His thoughts were interrupted when he felt his creations in danger and immediately flew to the one that was closest. It was Luke and he was fighting a Nightmare, Jack was about to help when he was suddenly surrounded by nightmare sand.
- Pitch, where are you?
- Jack, I'm right behind you...- answered Pitch near Jack's ear, but he moves away from there before Jack could turn around and see him
- Enough, I don't have time for this!- shouted Jack
- Ah, yes! You're looking for a boy, right?- said Pitch after making his appearance and Jack looked surprised since he didn't think Pitch had been present during their encounter- What's wrong, Jack? Need a little help?
- I don't know what you're talking about!
- Really? What a shame since I would had helped you for a small price!-
Jack knew he was just trying to get him into some kind of deal and he knew he shouldn't do it, but he needed to find the boy and he didn't think he had much time. Suddenly he felt weaker and he knew that the Nightmares had destroyed his wolves, so he made a dumb move.
- What's the price?- Pitch dissolved into the nightmare sand that surrounded them, but Jack could feel him smirking
- You must spend a day with me and do as I tell you...- answer Pitch
- You're insane if you think I'm going to accept that!- said Jack in a calm but with disbelief kind of tone
- Like I said is a small price and is your choice...-
- Is my choice, but you won't let me go unless I accept to this deal.-
- Correct, it seems like your brain has stayed intact even as you're surrounded by those fools.-
Half a minute of silence and then came Jack's voice with the words that would seal his and the boy's fate.
- Fine, but I'll only do as you say if it doesn't hurt the Guardians, the children and my duties as a Guardian.-
- Mmm, do I have your word as the Guardian of Fun?- asked Pitch still not appearing
- Yes, I give you my word as the Guardian of Fun....- responded Jack
Then some nightmare sand along with some of his own frost went around his neck and now he could feel some weight on it. Jack dreaded his next move, but he grabbed the front of his jacket and pulled it to then see that he had a necklace. It was a simple chain made of ice that became darker the closer it got to the charm, a black snowflake. He was amazed, only thinking of its beauty and not what it imply; he had made a deal with the enemy.
- It's time to visit dear old Daniel...- said Pitch before the nightmare sand and the shadows of the night consume Jack
