Jack hurried back to the North Pole trying to get there faster and smiled as he landed on the balcony and set both the girls down, Bella smiled and looked at them. Miranda smiled and jumped into Rachel's arms. "That was fun!" She giggled, and Rachel smiled as she caught her and held her. "Yes, that was, thank you, Jack," he smiles and nods. Bella smiles and tackles Jack in a hug " You're the best", Jack smiled and held her in his arm's. Bunny smiled, Julia coughed and groaned " Ahem!", Rachel blinked and looked to Julia, "We need to fix her! Quicky". Bella nodded and let go of the boy as she walked over to Julia. "You think you can push me, think again bub", Julia sneered and chuckled, "I can do so much more than push you, Bella".
Jack frowned and opened the doors to his balcony and stepped into his room, he huffed and looked at the mess "Sorry wasn't expecting visitors", He rubs the back of his neck and goes to his bedroom door. The others followed and tried not to step on anything, Jack opened the door and looked around, he stepped out and into the hallway. Bunny hopped out beside him and hopped down the hall while Jack and the others followed him.
Bella walked beside Jack while Rachel carried Miranda behind them, Bunny up ahead held the girl in his arms, he hopped into the main room where the fireplace was and frowned seeing North looking at the globe and dark sand swirling around it. Jack and the girls came up and widened their eyes seeing the sand, Miranda squeaked and hid her head in Rachel's shoulder, Bella clung tightly onto Jack's sleeve but clenched her teeth tightly. Julia stopped moving in Bunny's arms and looked at the sand in a hypnotic way, North drew his sword and frowned as he stared at the sand. A dark chuckle emitted from the whole room and seemed to come from everywhere.
The elves and yetis hid safely and watched from a distance, Bunny growled and looked to Julia in her state, Jack frowned and looked around for Pitch but didn't see him just the sand. Rachel held Miranda and stared at the sand with wide eyes. The sand quickly got sucked back into the center of the globe and exploded outward in a thin line and showered everything in black sand.
North frowned and heard the chuckle and quickly looked around but didn't see anything except at the moment where the black sand gathered together and flew into the air. The girls watched as the sand conjured up into a huge sand figure of pitch laughing and him floating around the globe before disappearing for the final time.
Everyone was silent and no one dared let out a breath, Julia was the first to break the silence by going limp in Bunny's arms and coughing a couple of times, North turns around and sees everyone " Jack, Bunn --, who are they?!" he said in his thick Russian accent panicking a little. "Why are they- do they believe?" He widened his eyes and smiled. "Christmas cookies!!" he cheered and smiled. Jack frowned and went over to the northern lights lever and pulled it hard and fast, "No time for celebrating North, he's back and here!" Bunny frowned and held Julia bridal style in his arms he looked at her concerned "Sheila, ...Julia?!" He looked at Jack.
----------
Meanwhile, Tooth at her castle was busy, telling her faires where to go for teeth but suddenly stopped when she saw the northern lights, she frowned and gathered some fairies and flew to the Pole. Sandy was busy sending sweet dreams to the children and looked up to see the beautiful but meaningful northern lights yet again, a sign of distress, and Sandy furrowed his tiny yellow brows. He stopped sending dreams and conjured a yellow dream sand plane and flew it to the pole quickly.
Rachel sat down on a big red comfy chair and held the suddenly sleeping Miranda, Bella sat with Jack on a little bench in which Jack had a cold arm around her, Jack smiled and stroked her hair. Bunny had Julia and kept looking at her concerned while the girl laid limp in his arms still out cold. North paced waiting for Tooth and Sandy to get to the pole.
Tooth finally showed up with her little posse of fairies and looked concerned, she stopped and flitted her big colorful wings fast while she looked at all the people at the pole. Sandy came in a couple minutes later and smiled softly. he looked to the teenagers and guardians but frowned when he saw Julia in Bunny's arms. Tooth looked at the girls and frowned "Who are they? Can I see their teeth?!" Jack shook his head wildly. "No time for teeth checking, Tooth. Sandy-" Sandy looked at him and smiled. Bunny frowned and showed Sandy the bite mark that Pitch gave her, Sandy covered his mouth with his tiny yellow hand and silently gasped, an exclamation formed above his spiky golden hair. Julia groaned and slowly shifted, Bunny watched and looked at the tiny yellow man.
"C-can you fix it?!" He asked with many emotions, Sandy looked at it and conjured yellow dream sand and let it touch the wound. Julia winced and growled as her eyes shot open and looked at Sandy with her now almost yellow eyes similar to Pitch's amber ones. "You think you can save her? .. You are pathetic!" Julia looked at everyone and sneered. Rachel stared into the eyes and felt her heart pound faster, Bella growled and got up.
Bunny frowned and stared at Julia, "Get out of her you -" Sandy stopped Bunny and looked at the girl letting dream sand engulf her and go into the wound. Julia yelped and let out a whimper, Sandy got the black sand out and contained it in a small bottle. Everyone watched and didn't say a word, Sandy took the bottle and held it tightly. Bunny looked at Julia who was breathing heavily and trying to open her eyes. "W-what is going on?!" Julia started freaking out, but Bunny smiled and hugged her softly. "You got bit by Pitch and he was sorta possessing you." Julia widened her eyes and felt her shoulder where the scar of the bite was and shivered.
"EWWWW!!!!!!!!!! RACHEL HOW COULD YOU HAVE LET HIM DONE THAT TO ME?!?", Bella and Rachel looked at their friend and smiled knowing she was gonna be okay. Jack smiled and looked at North who stopped pacing long ago. "North, we need to do something!" North snapped back to reality and sighed, "Okay, first - Who are these girls and Why are they here?"
Tooth smiled, Sandy held the sand and looked at it carefully as it shot at the glass, seems like it wanted to get out. Julia smiled as she held Bunny's furry hand softly and sat on his lap, Bunny slightly blushed and smiled.
Jack sighed and nodded and started to tell the story, everyone listened to what he had to say. Jack frowned when he got to the part where Pitch came at night and took one of the gems. North frowned " But you have the other two right?", Jack nodded and got the other two out and found the red and green one still there. "He just took the purple one," Jack confirmed and thought about how it was still bad that he had one. Bella frowned, knowing she was going to pick the purple one, Julia and Rachel tilted their heads as Julia asked, "So what are they?" Jack smiled. "They are gems that hold guardian powers! Manny created them just for you."
North smiled slightly and added, "I think we should start slow Jack", He smiled and looked at the girls. "Girls, I am Santa Claus aka. North".
Miranda woke up at the name and looked to the cheery man, "S-Santa?" she leaped off of Rachel's lap and jumped into North's arms. North grunted and caught her. " Why hello there, peбehok!" Miranda smiled and giggled.
Jack smiled "Well, you girls already know Me and Kangaroo over there.." Bunny huffed and growled, "I'm not a kangaroo, Freezer Burn, I'm the Easter Bunny for your information."
Tooth sighed and shushed them " Boys be quiet-" She smiled and looked to the girls "Hi there I'm the Tooth Fairy", she waved and went over to Julia and opened her mouth "O such beautiful teeth, they're perfect !" She squealed and smiled. Julia blushed and tried to pry Tooth's hands from her mouth. Sandy tugged her away and Tooth let go with a small sorry, Sandy smiled silently and waved, the girls waved back already knowing who Sandy was.
North smiled and played with Miranda, Bella smiled to Jack and remembered the stunt Jack pulled when they were flying to the pole and slapped him lightly on the back of the head.
Julia smiled and yawned, Bunny saw her yawn and smile. "You tired?" She giggled. "Well, it is exhausting getting bitten and possessed by the boogeyman." He nodded and smiled letting her lay on his fur. Rachel smiled and blinked as her phone dinged, time seemed to stop as everyone looked at her and raised an eyebrow.
Rachel slowly reached behind her and pulled her phone out from her back pocket and saw two different texts. She widened her eyes and cursed silently, Bella looked to her "What's wrong?". Julia walked over and looked at her phone squeaking once and widening her eyes, Bella frowned "What?!". Rachel grabbed her phone from Julia and opened it with her thumb scan, she went to the messages and saw one from Mrs. Shively and Leo her boyfriend. Julia looked at Bella and frowned "My mom sent a text, the other is from Leo." Bella widened her eyes slightly and frowned.
