Pitch hums trying to think and stay awake he mumbles sleepily answering bunny. It's....uh...its eggnog pudding....save a....bowl for jack.....he.... loves....pu...dding. At that last word pitch fell into a deep sleep. Sandy goes over to him and puts a cloud of dream sand over his head to have a good dream his dream appears and the guardians watch as he's dreaming of him and jack in the kitchen jack trying to eat a big bowl of pudding that pitch made. But the guardians soon realize is isn't just a dream its a dream of a memory. They here pitch tell jack not to eat it that its for after dinner not before jack whines and gives pitch begging puppy eyes pitch caves in and tells him he can only get a spoon full nothing more jack jumps and yays and he smirks he goes and find a huge spoon pitch sees what he finds and says jack no that's to big. Jack says that's the point and flies off. Pitch goes after him jacks comes from behind on pitch and they fall to the ground as jack laughs jacks is sitting on pitchs lap now and boops his nose with pudding on his finger and laughs pitch smiles in his sleep as the guardians continue to watch his dream/memory smiling at how are with each other. Jack says I love you to pitch and pitch says it back kissing each other.

Bunny says in a whisper jack looks happy with pitch.

Tooth says and so does pitch with jack they look really happy together.

North we need to do our best in order to get jack back safely to us and pitch.

They agree and head off to sleep themselves they didn't want to wake up pitch so they just put a blanket over him and left.

(Few days later at the pole pitchs pov)

Its been a few days now the guardians and I have rested enough I said we should leave now while we still can but they said we needed to rest and wait a week like MIM said but I'm tired of waiting in about to go without them tonight. Right now I'm up before the sun even comes out making breakfast. I see Sandy coming in looking tired he says to me in his symbol language how did you sleep or did you even sleep at all? I look at him and say didn't sleep.
I finish making breakfast for everyone and set them in there spots and I leave.

(Authors pov)

Bunny sees pitch leave the kitchen he walks in and he asks Sandy did pitch not eat again? Sandy gives him a know. Then the rest of them come in and look at bunny and he says pitch didn't eat again they know he hasn't been eating or sleeping after that fits day here in the second day they had asked him about how the fearlings even came to be and is there anyway in stopping them. Pitch told them everything he knew even how he became the way he was how he became the first spirit because of the fearlings how he became pitch black how they tricked him how he lost everything that fateful day. And the guardians were sad for him and pitied him. They know he wants to hurry and get jack back now but he's still to weak that haven't even seen him use his powers ever since he came back.

(Jacks pov inside past few days)

Day 1: I feel colder than normal its so dark and I'm afraid what's happening to me is pitch and the others ok. I feel something crawl on me I try and fight it off but its hold is to strong. Please anybody help me. Then I black out.

Day 2: I hear something I open my eyes and I see light I go towards it and the things rapped around me let me my eyes widen in shock and I hold my mouth trying not to scream and throw up. The fearlings controlling me their killing other spirits there other winter spirits I hear that awful laugh and the fearlings speak to me enjoying the view jacky? I sure am the way the scream for me to stop the way they beg its music to my ears your ice powers are great for killing you know. The fearlings holing me make me watch and listen to it killing and torturing other spirits with my body I don't know how much more I can take I this madness. I keep struggling to get free I only gotten free a few times and just in time for one of the winter spirits to escape the fearling weren't happy with that and made me go through hell inside my own mind having me watch to what they did to them on repeat over and over and over again.
