North looked out the window as the sun continued to set. "Hmm... I would have thought Jack would have been done by now."

"Did he say where he was going?" Tooth asked.

"I don't think so." Bunny shook his head.

North stroked his chin "I hope everything is okay... surely there is a way we could find him..."

All of the Guardians thought about their problem until a light bulb appeared over Sandy's head. They turned to him and he quickly made the image of a snow flake then pointed at the globe.

It took him a second but North finally understood. "Ah yes! Jack is making snow! Therefore, we just have to check the globe to see where it is snowing! Good idea Sandy!" Sandy blushed as Bunny patted his head.

North changed the globe's settings from believers to weather patterns. They all searched until Tooth finally spoke up. "I think I found him!"

The others went over to her "Crikey!" Bunny gasped "The kid's unleashed a bloody blizzard in Burgess!"

North scowled at the globe "Jack wouldn't do that on purpose this time of year. There must be something wrong."

They were all thinking the same thing "Do you think it could be Pitch?" Tooth asked.

"We'll have to find out." North answered. "To the sleigh!"

~Time Skip~

Sure enough, when the Guardians arrived at Burgess the wind was blowing every where and snow had covered everything. They knew the first place to check was the lake. But that was easier said than done.

When they reached they lake they all started calling his name in hopes that he would reply. He didn't. They were eventually able to determine that the storm had started somewhere in the woods next to the lake. The continued to call his name until Sandy finally found something.

He gestured the Guardians to come see what he had found. When they looked down they saw Jack's staff broken in half lying in the snow. "No wonder there's a blizzard." North stated grimly. "Jack uses his staff to keep a hold on his powers."

"How did it get broken?" Tooth asked worriedly as Sandy gently picked up the pieces of the staff.

Bunny stared to sniff the air "Something doesn't smell right..." he started to hop off in one direction and the Guardians followed. They eventually came to a small clearing and they all gasped at what they saw.

Jack was lying face down in the snow. Blood was slowly seeping from his body and turning the white fluff crimson red. "Jack!" they all yelled as they quickly ran to him.

North reached him first and gently started to turn him over. The first thing he noticed was the large hand shaped burn mark on the spirit's once pale cheek. His face was also covered in several other cuts and it looked like his nose was broken. "We need to take him to the Pole!"

Jack chose this moment to start waking up. He blinked his eyes a couple times and looked into the faces of the Guardians. He jumped back out of reflex. "Oh... it's you guys..." His voice was horse as he tried to talk.

"Mate, who did this to ya?! Was it Pitch?" Bunny looked at him concerned.

Jack remembered what Autumn had said to him before they left. "No one..." his voice cracked.

Sandy quickly drew a series of question marks and exclamation points.

"I said it was no one." Jack said again as he tried to stand on his broken legs. He couldn't let the Guardians see him while his was down. He held onto a tree branch for support but as soon as he let go he toppled forward into North's arms.

North looked down at his legs and saw they were bent at a strange angle. "Jack your legs are broken!" he exclaimed "You shouldn't be walking! Let us carry you to the sleigh so we can get you patched up and find out what happened."

Jack pushed away from him and let the wind take a hold of him. He floated an inch off the ground so that he didn't have to put his weight on his legs. "I'm fine. I can take care of it myself."

The Guardians were shocked "Jack your severely injured!" Tooth pleaded. We need to take you back to the Pole to heal you."

"I-I can't..." he stuttered. If he did that then they would not only see his injuries from this time, but the scars from all the other times the spirits had attacked him. He started to take a step back when he finally seemed to look at his surroundings. "What have I done?" he looked at the blizzard in horror. "Where's my staff?!" Sandy quickly handed it to him. Jack used the last once of energy he had to mend his staff. As soon as he did the blizzard died down to a simple snow fall.

Once he had fixed his staff Jack started to sway. North caught him once again as he toppled forward. North looked to Sandy. "He's not going to come with us on his own..." Sandy nodded in understanding and formed a ball of dream sand in his hands. He tossed it at Jack and the boy suddenly passed out in North's arms.

North gently picked up the sleeping boy and carried him to the sleigh. As soon as everyone was settled he opened a portal to the Pole. Jack slept in the laps of Tooth and Bunny as Sandy tried his hardest to give him sweet dreams. But all he did was frown as tears dripped from his eyes and froze to his cheek.
