Jack Frost

I find myself sitting on North's sleigh, beside a queasy looking Bunny. North is positioned up front, driving, and Sandy and Tooth are sitting on the back. I tap my foot impatiently.

The Guardians told me what their plan was. We were going to the Tooth Palace, retrieve Elsa's memories and trigger them so that she'll remember me. Easy enough.

Pretty soon, North throws a snow globe to the air and it explodes into a whirl of dust and colors, revealing a spiral portal. We go through it and the first thing that greets us is silence. Then, we hear the familiar neigh of a nightmare.

North lands the sleigh roughly, making us stumble inside. I'm the first one out, closely followed by the others, each of us in a fighting stance.

The eerie silence stretches on for what seems like eternity, before Pitch suddenly emerges, riding on his own nightmare, clutching something in his hand. He stares at us, his amber eyes glowing with anger, “Your here sooner than I anticipated. Finally figured out how to get her memories back?” he taunts.

“Yes, and I- we're getting them back, no matter what!” I growl, aiming my staff at him. He grins, showing us his sharp, white teeth—a great contrast to his dull, grayish skin, “Yes, well, I got here first,” he states calmly. “Pitch, we defeated you once, we can do it again!” Bunny warns, anger lacing his words.

“I'd like to see you try.”

And with that, we all went charging at him, but he was prepared. A whole army of nightmares appeared. I hit several with my staff, freezing them into nothing. I caught sight of Pitch, trying to flee, so I fly over to him. I know he is only trying to distract us from our original mission by using all these nightmares, but I wasn't going to let him get away with this.

Not when Elsa's safety is at stake.

“Pitch!” I send frost and ice at him, but he swerves his horse just in time, and the attack missed. “Oh, Frost. Looking for this?” he sneers, dangling the tooth case between his fingers, mocking me.

Growling, I sent another round of ice and snow at him, and this time I managed to hit his horse, sending him down. But he manages to regain his balance as he stands on the smooth surface of the Tooth Palace. “You'll never get this, Frost. Elsa will be mine!” he snarls, sending waves of black sand at me. I dodged, at counter them with my ice.

We are evenly matched, and I was starting to get tired of blasting him with my powers over and over again, only to have him counter it. And, he was still holding Elsa's tooth case in his hand.

That's it! His hand!

He sends his sand at me again, and this time I had to jump up to avoid being hit.

I fly around, changing my angle to get better aim at his hand. He looks confused, but that doesn't stop him from attacking me. Finally, when I see an opening, I attacked, sending sharp ice straight for his hand. It hits him, and just as I planned, he drops the case.

I swoop down and retrieve it, relishing the feel of the smooth golden case against my hand. I hear Pitch growl, and I immediately pocketed Elsa's case and turned to him, ready to fight once again. But, to my surprise, he gives me a glare, before disappearing into the shadows.

I decided to let him go. I had Elsa's tooth case! She will remember!

I fly to Tooth and the others excitedly, gripping my staff with one hand, the other inside my pocket, making sure that I don't lose it.
