*POV Jamie*

No! Anna couldn't be dead. That was impossible! But there she laid. Killed by Pitch’ Nightlions, or whatever they were. I knelt beside her and cried. I cried so hard, I barely noticed that I was pulled away by some paramedics.
'I'm sorry, Anna,' I whispered.
This was all my fault.

*POV Jack*

We all were at Anna's funeral, although nobody could see us anymore. We were crying, especially Bunny. But we all knew she would come back, sooner or later. Now it was months later after the accident. I was at her cemetery. I laid down some flowers I found in the forest nearby.
'Hi, Anna.' I said.
'I hope you will rise soon, because it is a mess here. Pitch is becoming too powerful and we need you. Tooth is acting crazy and Bunny and North aren't even arguing about Easter and Christmas anymore. And I... I need you, because I think I like you. I'm crazy, serious!'
'Jack, you're never serious.'

*POV Sandy*

'How do we know when she comes? Pitch is becoming too powerful! Children stop believing in me!' Tooth yelled. She was right. They stopped believing in Tooth, but also in me. In all of the guardians actually. Thanks to Pitch.
'Tooth, we know! They stopped believing in all of us.' North said as he tried to calm down Tooth.
'We don't even know what guardian she is, mate. As long as we don't know that, we can't do anything.'
'But I know what she is.' sounded the voice of Jack. He walked to us.
'Where have you been?' Tooth asked.
'At Anna's cemetery. And look who I found.' He walked back and pulled somebody out of the shadows. The person had a cape in camouflage colours.
'Hi, guys.' a voice under the hood said nervously.
'Anna?' asked Bunny with big eyes.
'So, tell them what guardian you are.' said Jack with a big smile on his face. Anna pushed the hood back.
'I'm the guardian of animals.' There were two little cat ears on top of her head.

*POV Anna*

I saw all the guardians, except for Jack, looking at me in surprise. I had to laugh of their silly faces.
'You've got cat ears, mate.' I touched my ears.
'Well, actually they are wolf ears. And I have a tail.' I said proudly. I turned around to show everyone my wolf tail, which came under my cape.
'Wow.' was the only thing Tooth could  say.
