Feeling sudden spikes in fear coming from a house he and the Guardians are all familiar with caused Pitch to fall silent in the middle of his friendly argument with Jack, just as suddenly as he felt it the fear vanished. "Something's wrong, I think we should go get to the Bennett's home right now." Pitch answered when Jack asked what was wrong then slipped into the shadows without waiting for Jack.

Not seeing the men, with an unconscious Jamie and Sophie on their shoulders, as he stepped out of the shadows Pitch gasped as pain ripped into his side. He quickly pressed a hand to his side becoming shocked when he felt blood leaking onto his hand and collapsed to his knees hearing the sound of a door opening then slamming shut.

As he lay there he noticed a puddle of blood not far from where he was, moving his eyes he wished he hadn't upon seeing a lifeless Mrs. Bennett in front of the couch and winched as he felt more spikes of fear coming from five more houses nearby. A gust of wind blew open the partly closed door allowing Jack entrance. "Pitch!" He shouted as soon as he noticed the Nightmare King lying on the floor with blood trickling from his side.

"Don't worry about me you need to go after the children, whoever shot me has them and not just Jamie and Sophie but their friends as well." Pitch growled as he shoved Jack away hiding the fact that he was dying from him.

Once Jack was gone Pitch touched the puddle of blood that had formed near him and wrote a message to any mortal to come to the house, "Believe in and follow Frost." Finishing the word Pitch took one last breath then his body went still.


"What do we have this time?" Aaron Hotchner questioned as he took a seat at the table where the rest of his team already sat, looking over the file in front of him.

Penelope Garcia moved to stand in front of the white board that had six pictures pinned up on it. "Six children kidnapped and their parents murdered all of them from the same neighborhood. There is a seventh child that was missed by the kidnappers and she is being taken care of at police headquarters in Burgess, Virginia. Her name is Sophie Bennett and she is four years old.

The six children that were kidnapped are Jamie Bennett, Sophie's older brother, Heather Burgess better known as Cupcake, Pippa Braxton, Monty Pruett and the twin brothers Claude and Caleb Hawkins. There is also something else it is believed that there was a second person in the Bennett house with Mrs. Bennett, someone named Frost. If you'll look at the last picture in your files then you'll see the sentence 'Believe in and follow Frost' and there are traces of frost patterns on the floor around where this other body was as well as on parts of the wall which can't be explained."

Derek Morgan, who was sitting next to the youngest member of the team, Spencer Reid, turned toward him when he said something under his breath, looking over the pictures of the frost patterns. "What did you say Reid?" He asked.

Reid glanced up then back down at the pictures. "Before my dad left my mom and I he would tell me stories and one of them was about this Prince of Winter named Jack Frost and is portrayed as a mischievous boy in his teens who carries a staff to help control his powers over snow, ice and frost. These frost patterns look like the drawings in the book my dad would use to tell me his story so either someone is really talented with a paint brush or…"

"Jack Frost is just a myth, Reid, nothing more. Now go home and get backed everyone, we leave in an hour for Burgess." Hotchner replied and the team stood up to leave.


Four of the five Guardians all stood together as they watched human police walk in and out of the group of homes where six of their believers were taken from, waiting for the chance to get into the Bennett home in order to retrieve Pitch's body. "I never should have left him in there alone." Jack muttered as two black SUV's pulled up to the Bennett home and several people got out of them.

"Don't blame yourself Jack, he knew he was dying and sent you to where he knew you could help." Tooth told him as she laid a hand on his shoulder. Just then a hole opened next them and out hopped a Bunny. "Did you find Sophie?" Tooth instantly asked as Bunny joined them.

"Yes, she's safe at the human police station and, no, there's no way I will be able to get her out of there without anyone knowing. All I can do right now is go and stay with her."

North nodded at Bunny, "That's a good idea Bunny you do that while we try to find a way to retrieve Pitch's body and help find the children. Tooth do you think you could send Baby Tooth over to listen in on the humans' conversation so we can find out what is going on?"

Before Tooth could give a reply Baby Tooth was zipping over to the Bennett home to do as North asked. As she settled on the fireplace she noticed a young man, almost a boy, checking over where Pitch's body lay and decided to see how he would react if she were to land nearby. Fluttering her wings she flew over and landed on Pitch's body, startling the young man when she did.

Reid jerked in surprise as what he thought was a humming bird seemed to land on empty air. "Hey guys I think you should come see this." He called out getting the attention of Morgan and Rossi. The two of them came over. "Are you seeing what I'm seeing or am I going crazy?" Reid asked, pointing at Baby Tooth.

Both men blinked as they saw the same thing Reid did. "I don't think you're going crazy if you are seeing the humming bird standing on nothing but air." Morgan commented making Baby Tooth ruffle up her feathers and zoomed at Morgan, insulted, and began chirping at him angrily.

"It's almost like it can understand you from the way it's reacting but the more important question is how it was able to hover midair without flapping its wings." Rossi remarked making Baby Tooth huff in anger and land on Reid's shoulder where she glared at both Morgan and Rossi.

"I don't think she's a humming bird, no humming bird I heard of what have reacted like she was insulted." Reid said as he held out a finger for Baby Tooth to land on so he could get a better look at her.

"Okay if she isn't a humming bird then what do you think she is." Morgan questioned as Baby Tooth flitted to land on Reid's finger.

"It may sound crazy but I think she may be the Tooth Fairy, hear me out before you say anything. She did appear to hover in midair without flapping her wings as well as acted insulted when she was called a humming bird and it and what kind of humming bird has wings like a dragon fly anyway. If I'm wrong then she could be some kind of genetically altered humming bird but I don't think I am."

Just then a cold blast of air blew in through the open front door and Baby Tooth turned to chirp at Jack, who was sent to check on her by a worried Tooth, bringing three sets of eyes to quickly glance at the seemingly empty spot where Jack was. "Your mom became worried even though it hasn't been that long since you came in here but you know how she's been ever since Pitch tried to take over and kidnapped your sisters."

Reid turned to Morgan and Rossi as Baby Tooth flew off his finger to land on Jack's hoodie in her favorite spot. "Has anyone been up to look over Jamie's room yet? If not I'll go and see what I can find."

Getting a nod from both older men Reid ran up the stairs and to Jamie's room Jack not far behind not quite trusting any stranger to be alone in Jamie's room. "I know someone is there, cold wind just doesn't blow into a house out of nowhere by itself and a humming bird looking hybrid can't hover midair without flapping its wings so the question is who are you."

Jack closed and locked Jamie's bedroom door to make sure no one walked in on them then walked over to the mirror Jamie bugged his mom for so Jack could leave him messages whenever he wasn't there and tapped his staff to it before he wrote the word 'believe' in the frost.

"Believe? Believe in what?" Reid asked after reading what Jack wrote. Jack turned back to the mirror, writing 'Me, Jack Frost'. Reading what is written on the mirror Reid paced the room as he talked to himself. "Believe in and follow Frost, that's what is written in blood downstairs but who left the message and if you really are Jack Frost then where are we to follow you to. What happens if we do believe in you?"

"Whoa slow down there I can only answer one question at a time." Jack laughed thinking that Reid wouldn't be able to hear him and frosted the mirror over again so he could answer him not noticing Reid slowly turn around and face him.

"You're real? Wow I have so many questions like how do you fly or make it snow. Are you a spirit or something else? Who created you? If you're real than what about some of the other myths, are they real too…?" Jack held up a hand in amusement at Reid's questions.

"I'll answer your questions later but right now we need to concentrate on helping Jamie and the others. To do that we need to get your friends to believe in the Guardians as well, meaning Santa Clause, Sandman, the Easter Bunny and the Tooth Fairy oh and there is one other though he's not exactly a Guardian. His name is Pitch Black and he's the Boogeyman, you see my friends and I would like to retrieve his body before MiM appears tonight to see if there is anything he can do for him. Bunny would also like to be with Sophie in your humans' police station, he's gotten rather close to her and would do anything to protect her but then again that's what us Guardians are chosen to do, protect the children." Jack explained before Reid could ask any more questions.

Stunned Reid plopped down on Jamie's bed. "Everything I ever believed or thought I knew, I think, has just been put into question." He mumbled as a knock sounded both on the door and window at the same time.

"You see who is at the door and I'll go let Tooth in." Jack flew over to the window and opened it enough to let Tooth in as Reid asked, "Wait Tooth, as in the Tooth Fairy?" Making Tooth stare at Jack who shrugged to her unasked question. "It seems we have a new believer Tooth, thanks to Pitch. He left a message for the humans to find but I'm not sure how that led to him to believing in us unless Baby Tooth had something to do with it."

At his words Baby Tooth twittered a response as she flitted back and forth from Jack and Tooth to Reid. "What is she saying?" Reid wanted to know as he watched her flit around.

"She's telling you that she wasn't hovering in midair that she had landed on Pitch in order to show you where his body was." Jack told him.

"The missing body…wait I thought you guys were immortal and couldn't die much less be killed?" Reid jumped to his feet and paced over to Jack.

"We are immortal, we don't age or die but there are some of us who can be killed. The only ones who can't be killed are the ones who have died and been brought back to being somewhat alive. The seasonal and elemental immortals are one example of those who can't be killed." Jack explained.

"And Jack is one of those spirits." Tooth broke in just as Reid was about to say something causing him to blink in surprise once he could see her.

"Reid are you alright in there, I hope you're not talking to yourself." Hotch's voice sounded through the door. "Morgan and Rossi said you went running up the stairs and that was half an hour ago. Why is the door locked?"

Reid quickly went to unlock the door and let Hotch in. "Sorry…um would you believe me if I told you Jack Frost shut and locked it?"
