The four Guardians had gathered in the Globe Room at the Pole. After seeing the northern lights signal, Toothiana, Bunnymund, and Sandman had rushed to Santoff Clausen as fast as they could.

After all, the signal could only mean two things:

1) That there was an emergency concerning the worlds' children.

2) Manny wanted to speak with them.

Tooth's chest heaved as she sped in through an open window, bowling straight into Sandy.

"Sorry," She grunted, pushing herself up. Sandy nodded, massaging his throat, which had nearly been crushed by her elbow.

"What is it, mate?" Bunny demanded. North looked solemn.

"Manny has presented us with a rescue mission." He said.

"Who are we rescuing?" Tooth wondered.

Moonlight shone through a small door in the ceiling, making shadows on the floor. The shadows took the form of two teenage boys, though Tooth couldn't make out their faces.

"What are we saving them from?" Bunny asked.

The shadows changed to Pitch's profile.

Tooth gasped. It can't be him again!  Last time the Guardians had seen him, the Nightmare King had had a bit of a sadistic streak, but that was one hundred and forty-nine years ago.

Sandman looked solemn.

"Where are they, Manny?" North asked, but the door slid shut, the moonlight disappeared, and the Man In The Moon left them clueless.

Bunny scowled. He hated it when Manny did that, just leaving without an answer. Honestly, so did Tooth, but she never said that.

"Two teenagers, huh?" Tooth asked.

"I wonder how long Pitch has had them?" North said. Sandman nodded, agreeing.

"Probably not very long," shrugged Bunny, "it's likely that the buggers have only been there for a month or two for messing with his nightmares."

But he was wrong. Tooth would find out soon enough exactly how wrong he was.

Hey guys, it's me. These chapters are really short, so I'm sorry, but I promise the next ones will be longer. This one has to be short so the next chapter can go the way I want it to. If you're a fellow writer, you'll prob understand. If not, weeellll...

Sorry! 

Luvies!

Bye!
