<Stardust's P.O.V>

God, why do I have a headache? Gradually lifting myself up off the ground, I held a hand gently to my head. After fluttering my eyes open and removing my hand, my eyes then scanned my surroundings. "What the..." I was both surprised and confused to see that I was inside a cage. "...hell?" I crawled to the bars of the cage and used one hand to grip a bar and gingerly wrapped my fingers around it, then looked..down? "Oh, that's wonderful. A ceiling cage. Where..?" A quiet gasp left my parted lips as realization hit me. "Jack. The trade. Y/N." Suddenly, out of a mass of darkness apeares Pitch, casually standing near a crude replica of North's Globe of Belief accompanied by quite a few flickering lights. That of which, I assume is not a good sign. While I stared at Pitch's globe with worry and slight fear, Pitch stared up at me, smugly. "Isn't this wonderful, dear Stardust?" I turned to face him with confusion. "Wonderful? Uh.." I let out a little chuckle. "Which part e-exactly?" He began to walk around the globe with his hands folded behind his back. "Everything is going just as I planned. Very soon..those weirdos will have nothing to protect, ergo, leaving them with no believers; resulting in their demise." I loosened my grip on the cages bar, looking down, on the verge of losing hope. Aster would be so disappointed. "No.." He halted his repeated walk around the globe and looked up at me inquisitively. "I'm sorry, dear. What did you say?" I looked down at him, narrowing my eyes. "I said no. Pitch, this isn't right. This, this revenge you're so badly wanting. It's not the right way t-to go. It won't change anything. Getting rid of the Guardians, it, it won't make things better for you. Light needs the dark just as dark needs the light. You can't have one without the other. Don't upset the balance. And...it won't change your past. It won't bring her back. Believe me, Pitch. Please, you don't have to do this. I know what I'm about to say is fucking cheesy, but..it's never too late to do the right thing. And, I-I know you know this. You've been here longer than I have." He seemed to have actually taken in and considered my words. His smug facial expression faltered to a softer one as I spoke to him and he now stared up at me as if lost in a distant memory. I looked down slightly tensed, waiting for him to snap out of it. Finally, he averted his gaze and spoke in a soft, low tone. "How do you know about her?" I cleared my throat quietly, then spoke softly down to him. "I'm, I'm sorry?" He looked back up at me and re-stated his question. "How do you know about my daughter?" "Oh.." I smiled sympathetically down to him. "I..um..I can sense these things. I pretty much just read minds when it's necessary." He nods, understanding. Suddenly, the cage door to the cage I was in swiftly opens. My eyes widen and I quickly look to Pitch. "I swear..I didn't do that." He nods at me once. "I know. I did. Now, please do come down. I don't want to have to come up there." I couldn't tell if he was being serious or trying to sound playful, either way I ignited my powers and hovered down near Pitch. My powers faded and the red in my eyes did as well. I stood cautiously at a distance, just in case. Looking up at the rather tall man, I tilted my head to the side. "Oki. Now what? This, this better not be a trap of some kind." He put his arms up in defense and smiled down at me, amused. "It's not. I just want to talk." I looked at him a bit confused. "You..want to talk? With me? About..what may I ask?" He placed his hands behind his back again as he spoke. "What else is there that you know about me, Stardust?" Letting my guard down a bit, I stood awkwardly, hugging myself. "Well, I know..everything about you a-and your past, Pitch." He looked down in thought. "Everything?" I took a step closer to him with caution, looking at him with sympathy. "Yes, everything. And I just..I want to be the first to..a-apologize-" He abruptly cut me off, taking a step closer to me, causing me to step back. "Apologize? If you know about my past then you know that you do not have to apologize. What I've become is not due to your wrong doing." Despite the fear and anxiety I'm feeling at the moment, I gave him a soft smile. "I know, Pitch. But I apologize anyway. You didn't deserve what had happened to you all those years ago and if I could go back in time I would've kept you from making the mistake of opening those doors. I know that you think the only way to get people to see you is through fear, but it's not. You already have people who can see you. You have the Guardians. I mean, granted they kinda want you erased from existence, but I could help with that! Help them see the you past your demons. I can get them to accept you." "Really?" He took a step closer to me, but this time I stayed put. "You would do such a thing for me. Why?" "Just let me help you. I believe in you. I've kinda always believed in you actually. I enjoy scary things. I've been into horror movies and books since about second grade. That's grade school, Pitch. Grade school. That's how long I've believed in you." He moved even closer to me. "You believe in me?" "Yes! Just, just let me help you. Then you won't have to stay in the shadows all the time. You won't have to hide. You just have to trust me. Do..Do we have a deal?" He looked down, seemingly considering my help. I took the last step and stood in front of his looming figure. His yellow orbs locked onto me, staring into my blue/grey eyes. I looked up at him hopefully. "Please. I can help you. Let me." His soft expression faltered, and changed back to his devilish smirking smug face. "Alright, dear." He gently grabbed my chin, but roughly forced me to look up at him, pulling me closer, causing me to blush faintly. "I'll comply. Under one condition." I gulped quietly and shook slightly from fear. "What i-is it?" "It's quite simple really." I giggled nervously. "Really?" "Really." There was a moment of silence and I was really wishing the gang would bust in here right about now. Pitch brought my face closer to his, resulting to me leaning into him on my tippy toes. My blush brightened and I accidentally let out a small whimper. Our faces were just inches apart now. I was paralyzed. He stared into my eyes with a serious expression. "Marry me." My eyes widened at this. "Huh?!" "Marry me, Stardust. Become my wife and all of this will be over. Call it a compromise." I stared at him, shocked. "Wh-What?! I...I..." Marry him? Why? Why me? I'm not attractive in the least. I'm not wife material. Is, is this a joke? "Well? My dear, I don't have all the time in the world. You already know all about me and I you. So, we're past the awkward date stage. Do we have a deal dear?" "I...I can't. I mean, believe me if I met you first I defiantly would, but I can't." He narrowed his eyes at me, gripping my chin a bit tighter. "Dare I ask why not?" I cower a bit. "I'm...in love with someone else. I-I'm sorry, Pitch. I'm sorry." "With who? Frost?" I raised an eyebrow and shook my head. "Uh, no. He's Y/N's." "Don't tell me it's the rabbit on steroids." I giggled nervously as I looked up at him, flustered. "I'm sorry, Pitch. But this won't effect anything. I am your friend and I want to help you. I want you to finally be happy. I want you to have that happy ending that you deserve. I really do." "Very well. I see. Then.." I gasped as he spun me around and pressed me close to him. One arm was wrapped around my waist and the other on my thigh, his hand slowly sliding up my inner thigh. My eyes widened and my breath hitched. My voice was shaky as I spoke. "P-Pitch..what a-are you doing?" He kissed my neck, nibbling on my sensitive skin. I bit my lip as my blush brightens. "You have the ability to read minds. What does mine tell you?" I closed my eyes to do so as he spoke. "You are pretty fearless my dear. I've come to find that not much frightens you. But, I'm the best at figuring out peoples greatest fears..and you, dear Stardust, are afraid of something. This is something most women fear. And you are one of those women who fear it." I gasped as I opened my eyes, now knowing what he was planning to do. I whimpered as he rubbed my womanhood through my jeans. "P-Pitch, stop. Y-You don't want to do this." He growled in my ear. "No, you don't want me to do this." A yelp left my lips as he pushed me to the ground. I cried out as I landed on my side, feeling the pain linger from hitting the hard floor. Defiantly going to leave a bruise. I weakly pushed myself up and crawled backwards away from him. I looked up at him with tears forming in my eyes. "Pitch, please. S-Stop! Don't, d-don't do something you'll r-regret. Please, don't hurt me. Whoa!" He bent down and yanked me by my ankles, pulling me under him. I struggled to get free from him. I ignited my powers, but he immediately used nightmare sand to keep my hands tied above my head. "No! S-Stop.." He ignored me, took off my jean's belt and unbuttoned and unzipped my jeans, yanking them down then tossed them to the side aimlessly. "Please, Pitch." Some tears streamed down my face now, feeling hopeless and helpless. "I'm, I'm a virgin. Please.." He swiftly took off his clothing and climbed on top of my quivering form, staring down at my flushed face with a smirk. "I know you are." My breath was caught in my throat and I squeezed my eyes shut, completely giving up as I felt him tear off my undergarments leaving me naked now. My cries echoed throughout the chamber and the rest of Tooth's fairies that were still caged couldn't bare to witness the scene. And all they could do was listen to my whimpers and cries. Innocence is gone. How could Aster ever love me now?

Meanwhile, in Antarctica...

Jack's eyes flashed open widely. The icy walls rush back into his surroundings as he jerks back while breathing heavily, as if just awaking from a bad dream, reeling from the memory he had just received. He sees Baby Tooth and his snowflake watching him. Baby Tooth with an intense stare and Y/N with both intensity and curiosity in her stare. "Did you...did you see that?" Y/N and Baby Tooth exchange confused glances with each other then direct their attention back to Jack, shaking their heads simultaneously as an answer to his question. Y/N shrugs with a small smile on her slightly cracked lips. "Of course not, Frosty." The vibrant Guardian scooted closer in front of Jack's stunned form. "Would you..like to share with us what you saw?" He smiles at the girls, ecstatic. "It...it was me! I had a family! I had a sister!" His excitement gradually turns to sudden realization. "I saved her!" He looks up at the opening above, Y/N smiles softly at Jack then follows his gaze. The moon peaks out from behind the clouds. Y/N closes her eyes, basking in the light soft glow of the moon's light as Jack whispered up to Manny. "That's why you chose me." He turns to Y/N, admiring her natural beauty, coming to realization. "I'm, I'm a Guardian." The moon then seems to shine a little brighter. "Huh?" Y/N flutters her eyes open and looks down to Baby Tooth, who tries to take flight but she sputters and lands back in the palm of Jack's hand. Y/N bends down to Jack's hand and looks at Baby Tooth sympathetically. "Aw, BT's unable to fly due to the loss of believers." Y/N tilts her head to the side as she gives the little fairy a small smile. "Don't worry, BT. You won't be flightless for long, right, Frosty?" The determined Y/N looks up to Jack with a questioning look. He smiles before answering. "Right." He places the flightless Baby Tooth up on his shoulder before looking around with a serious and now determined facial expression, mumbling. "We have to get out of here." Jack looks down at the two halves of his staff, then slides towards them and picks them up. Y/N lets out a short lived giggle before speaking. "Good, I'm very happy we're on the same page. Uh..Jack? What exactly are you doing? Or..trying to do?" She tilts her head to the side, watching him with both curiosity and amusement as he attempts to fit them back together, but nothing happens. He tries again, this time using every ounce of strength left in him. Baby Tooth watches along with Y/N, both girl's eyes widening as a spark of blue light shoots off the staff. Jack continues to push, until the icy blue light spreads and melds the two ends of the staff back together. Jack's lips form a smile as Baby Tooth cheerily tweets. Y/N giddily giggles. "Jack, it worked! You're unbelievable!" He turns to her with a raised eyebrow. "Uh..y-you know that's not what I meant. I believe in you! I-I just meant..I mean..it, it just came out-I'm sorry.." She sighs, in a defeated manner. He wraps an arm around her and pulls her flustered form closer to him. He smirks down at her before placing a cool kiss on her cheek. "I know what you meant, snowflake. And I know you believe in me. I believe in you too, you know." She looked up at him with a reddened face, smiling nervously. She averts her eyes to a smug faced Baby Tooth perched on Jack's shoulder. Y/N childishly stuck her tongue out at Baby Tooth, causing Jack to laugh at the multi-colored girl's childish behavior. "I love you, Y/N." Jack leaps into the air, successfully exiting the iceberg fissure with a mad blushing Y/N on his arm. He chuckles, looking down at her as he tightened his arm around her torso. As they shot up into the sky, Baby Tooth was safely riding along, tucked in Jack's tunic. The trio fly high into the sky and through the clouds. "Come on Baby Tooth! I owe you one. Same goes for you, snowflake." Y/N gives him a closed eye smile with a faint blush, not trusting her voice at the moment. "Time to be a Guardian." Baby Tooth twitters joyously, pleased with Jack's transformation.
