Tooth fluttered over the town of Burgress searching for Jack Frost, their newest guardian. The winter sprite had been acting strange since they defeated Pitch Black. All the Guardians had noticed last month when Jack left their meeting without saying a word. North was busy making toys, Sandy had to make dreams and although Bunny and Jack made progress in their relationship it still wasn't perfect so that left Tooth to find him.

Burgress had a thin layer of frost on the windows even though the sun was shinning, from Jack probably. This town never gets a break! Even in July. Tooth thought smiling and shaking her head giggling.

"Sophie, bring Abby over here!"

The humming-bird hybrid flew to the voice of Jamie, Jack's first believer.

Surely he will be here.

She hovered in front of the house where Jamie and Sophie were standing with Abby, their grey hound dog. "Hi Jamie!" Tooth exclaimed happily, flying over to the boy and his little sister.

"Easter Bunny?" Sophie asked hopefully, running up to Tooth. The little girl had taken a shinning to the Pooka, wanting to help paint the eggs all the time.

Toothina looked at her and let a grin fill her face. "He will come see you soon, little one." I have to remember to tell Bunny to visit her again when I get back, he shouldn't be too busy.

"Oh hey tooth!" Jamie smiled at her, "Look! My new tooth came in!" the colorful fairy inspected the new tooth thoroughly, "Its wonderful Jamie! And no cavities, keep up the good work."

They both have always had beautiful teeth. Always flossing!

Tooth looked around sharply, remembering her mission, "Hey, have you seen Jack?"

"No. Not for a few weeks, why?" His face turned concerned for the child.

"Just wanted to check up on him is all." She said quickly," See you again soon!"

The fairy waved and fluttered off to the lake. Her fairies were left at Tooth Palace with Baby Tooth in charge and Bunnymund supervising, not like he knew what to do, but she didn't believe this was a good time for them.

I wonder how they are. She would have turned around at that moment to check on her fairies if she hadn't heard it.

A soft sobbing.

Her feathers shimmered as Tooth followed the noise, it lead her to a cave hidden by thick trees and brambles. Her hand moved up slowly the leaves and pushed them aside. The cave was about fifteen feet tall, twenty five feet wide and probably forty feet deep. Light shined down from small inlets in the ceiling. A small stream went through the entrance of the cave and flowed to the back, creating a small pool of water. Walls of the cave were decorated with interact frost designs that never disappeared.

Bunny would love to see these.

Her eyes rested on a blue shape at the foot of the wall. They widened as the scene unfolded.

Jack sat against the wall about thirty feet away, facing away from Tooth kneeling against the wall. His familiar blue hood was on his head and both his sleeves were rolled up to his elbow.

Toothina raised a hand to her mouth to keep from gasping as she looked at his arm, tears started to fill her eyes. It was coved in blood, both of them were. With every stroke more crimson blood appeared on his pale flesh.

She hovered a few feet in closer to Jack and a tear fell as she heard Jack's voice whispering as he was sobbing.

"Worthless, unwanted! The guardians don't need you. No one even paid you any attention before! They didn't like you. They wouldn't notice if you died, they were forced into contact with you! Children have always had fun, even before you came," he whispered to himself as the teen slumped against the wall, letting the tears keep flowing the blood coming. The silver blade was cast between two rocks that Tooth took note of.

Tooth finally fluttered in and knelt down beside him, "Jack, you're not worthless."

Jack jumped at the sound of her voice, probably to occupied to hear her earlier. He stood up quickly into a defense position with his sleeves falling back around his forearm, the light blue sweat shirt started to turn a dark purple as the blood was soaked up drop by drop.

He would need a new one. She thought to herself.

His piercing blue eyes softened once he looked at her violet caring eyes. Her heart only longed to help him.

"Yes I am!" His eyes turned dark as he took a step forward, "None of you paid me any attention before Manny wanted to make me a guardian!"

"But in that time we've grown to know and love you!" Toothina fluttered up to his height as her voice grew louder.

"No, no, no! All lies!" The teen's hands curled to fists as he defied her. "During meetings North and bunny just argue about which holiday is more important, you are ordering around your fairies around and Sandy just dozes off!" The soft breeze that had occupied the cave before grew to a strong gust of wind while Jack's anger grew.

Frost also curled on the rocks as the frost spirit's emotions flared. "I'm just unwanted in this world." He was all out of tears to cry. "You all have been together for hundreds of years, I could never compare." The wind softened and swirled, as if to hold around and comfort the teen.

Tooth's heart went out to him. It was true, she had neglected him. Not anymore!

She had to admit she had taken a shinning to the boy, more than a friend type of shinning too. She should have showed it more instead of hiding in her work. No one deserved to feel like that, everyone needed a reason to live. She would be that reason.

The fairy flew up to him, turned him around, grabbed the boy's shoulders and embraced the cold sprit in a tight hug.

"You'll always be wanted to me."
