"JACK!!!!" I screamed. Bunnymund's eyes were wide as he set down his newspaper. My voice had gone hoarse from the cold. Not to mention my runny nose was making talking almost impossible. Jack peeked around the corner with a guilty smile.

"... hey." he said weakly waiting for me to explode at him. He shifted his weight from one foot to the other as I blew my nose.

My face completely red, from anger, I yelled, "Jack! Do you know what this is?" I said holding up my iPod, that was covered in ice and frost. Jack just stood there playing with his bare feet. "I SAID... DO... YOU... KNOW WHAT THIS IS?!?!" I screeched, my voice cracking.

"Uh... you might wanna calm down a little, Mate-" Bunnymund joined in still a little in shock.

"No. I wanna hear what Jack has to say!" I yelled, getting up from my bed. I grabbed my head, the cold was making me dizzy and my headaches got worse. I sat back down on my bed. "ow..." I muttered running my fingers through my hair.

"You okay?" Jack asked taking a step closer to me. I held up my hand.

"I'm fine. But answer the question." I stated looking at the floor. The room was spinning. The cold was the least of my problems. It seemed every time I used that elixir Tooth gave me, I felt like I was going to throw up.

Jack took a step back, "...yeah, well no. I'm not really quite sure what it is... but I've seen it." he said obviously trying to avoid being caught. He started scratching the back of his neck. I sighed.

"Jack, it's an iPod... it plays music. Why did you have my iPod?" I asked almost falling over, trying to stand up.

"I-I was curious..." Jack smirked. I wanna slap that stupid smile off your face so bad. But I came up with a better plan.
I got close to his face, only inches between us. Jack smiled down at me. I saw a bead of sweat form on his forehead.

"...Curiosity killed the cat~" I almost sung. I turned on my heels and walked back to the bed. Jack stood there eyes wide with fear. Jack shuddered a little. Bunnymund had the same look on his face. "hey, Bunny? Where's Tooth?" I said sitting back down. I cradled my head in my hands.

"... oh! She's with North by the fireplace... Are you sure your okay? You want me to get her?" He said jumping to his feet.

"no,no. I'll get her." I said raising to my feet. I walked past Jack and found Bunny in front of me.  I started to get angry. "Bunny. I'll get her." I almost growled.

"No, I'll get her. Go back to bed. You need some rest." He said in a thick Australian accent.

"I have been resting for an entire day. I think walking will be good for me." I said pushing Bunnymund out of my way. I walked down the hall and stopped at the corner.

"Are you sure that potion works, Tooth?" North asked.

"Yeah, it works on my baby teeth. Why?" Tooth questioned.

"Well, every time Kiersten uses it she stiffens and can't stand up straight." North replied.

"Oh dear... I never really paid attention..." Tooth said. There was a long pause. "Well, yes... The baby teeth usually are hyperactive after they use it... But then after that the go right back to normal." Sandy must have 'said' something.

I turned the corner, still dizzy. "What's wrong with me?" I asked the guardians. They looked puzzled. "Tooth... what is that made out of?" I asked pointing to the little bottle.

"Oh, just like ibuprofen but with citric acid." She replied a little confused. My eyes widened. Bunnymund and Jack entered the room.

"Tooth... I'm allergic to citric acid... Plus, to humans, it only lengthens the healing process." I said weakly. I was leaning up against the wall. I felt so weak. Purple and black dots blurred my vision. I pushed my back up against the wall. Everyone's eyes were wide. I started to slip down the wall. Darkness consuming my vision.

"Kiersten! Kiersten!" North shouted. Someone was shaking me.

"yes..." I barely uttered.

"How many fingers is Sandy holding up?" Bunnymund asked.

"I don't know... I can't see you guys..." I said.

"Crikey... get some water Tooth!" Bunnymund demanded. Tooth's fluttering faded and than came back. "Here's some water, Mate." Bunnymund said. I lifted my hand and Bunny placed the glass in my palms. I slowly tipped the glass against my lips and sipped the water.  My vision started to restore as I drank. I blinked a few times. Sandy held up two fingers.

"Can you see now? How many fingers is Sandy holding up?" Jack asked. I rubbed my eyes.

"Two." I said. Their faces relaxed and Tooth helped me up. "Oh, my head hurts..."

"I told you to stay in bed." Bunnymund muttered. I shook my fist at him and sighed. "I'm gonna go take a shower." I said spinning on my heels and walking towards the bathroom.

~~~~~~~~~~
After the hot shower I walked down the hall and grabbed the ibuprofen. I took two and watched the yetis make toys. I smiled and rested my head on my hands.

"Hey." Jack said and I jumped.

"How long were you standing there?" I asked turning around to see Jack leaning up against the door frame. He shrugged.

"You okay, kiddo? You seemed..." Jack said waving his hand through the air trying to find the words.

"Yeah, it's normal. I'm fine." I said turning away from him. Time is almost up... Tomorrow they'll bring you home and I'll be back... Pitch's voice whispered in my head. "So... when do you think you guys will bring me home?" I asked trying to hide my tears.

"North said he''d bring you home tomorrow morning... But since your little..." Jack waved his hand through the air again. "... I think he'll bring you home the day after tomorrow." Jack's vision turned to the floor. I turned and smiled. I still have one more day... and it WILL be the best day of my life. Headache or no headache.

"Well, If I only got one more day here... let's have some fun!" I yelled. Jack smirked.

~~~~~~~~~~
"Wait. What's this called again?" Jack asked. The guardians and me were sitting in a circle, next to the fireplace.

"I told you a hundred times it's called truth or dare!" I smiled at Jack. "okay. Who knows how to play this?"  Everyone shook their heads. I sighed, "Okay, When its your turn Someone will ask you truth or dare... Dare means you have to do what the person says and truth means they ask you a question and you have to answer honestly... Okay I'll start. Bunny, Truth or dare?"

"Dare!" Bunnymund said looking confident.

"Alright, I dare you to jump to the top of the globe." I said with a smirk.

"Okay..." Bunnymund said standing up. He pulled him self up, onto the railing and jumped to the globe. He hit close to the top and pulled himself up. "Ha! I did it!"

"Okay now, you ask the person to your left a question." I explained as he hopped back to his seat on the floor.

"Okay, Sandy, Truth or dare?" He asked.

Sandy made a symbol of the letter 'D' over his head.

"Alright, Mate. Um... I dare you to... eat one of those cookies Jack made. They're still in the trash." Bunnymund said laughing.

Sandy walked over to the kitchen and came back out the burned, salty cookie in his hand. He popped it into his mouth and swallowed. Sandy blinked a few times and ran back to the kitchen. He came back drinking some water. I laughed.

"They're not that bad..." Jack said defensively.

"Oh, yes they were." I said slyly.

Sandy pointed to Tooth. 'T or F' Sandy explained over his golden hair.

"Um... how about truth." Tooth said giggling.

Sandy made a symbol of a tooth and then a picture of Tooth in a lab coat. I was super confused. Tooth started to giggle.

"No, I haven't thought about being a dentist." Tooth squealed with laughter. "North, Truth or Dare?"

"Uh... truth." North replied.

"Um... have you ever thought about shaving your beard?" Tooth asked.

North laughed. "Actually yes, but I don't think I have the right face to have no beard." North said stroking his long beard. "Alright, Jack, truth or dare?"

"Dare!" Jack said.

"Alright, I dare you to dump hot cocoa on your head." North laughed.

"Aw man." Jack said under his breath. Jack got up and walked to the kitchen. "OW!" Jack yelled. He came back dripping in hot chocolate, his white hair stained a light brown. "... Kiersten... truth or dare?"

"Um... dare." I said showing no emotion.

"I dare you to sing that one song." I looked confused. "You know that song on your..."

"iPod. Jack, I have a hundred songs on that. Which one?" I said getting testy.

"The one that girl sings. I think it was something about waiting so many years-"

"OH! Was it Thousand Years?" I asked.

"I think so... sing that one!" Jack said.

"Alright..." I cleared my throat.
"Heart beats fast,
Colors and promises,
How to be brave,
How can I love when I'm afraid,
To fall,
But watching you stand alone,
All of my doubt,
Suddenly goes away somehow
One step closer
I have died everyday
waiting for you,
Darlin' don't be afraid,
I have loved you for a
Thousand years,
I'll love you for a
Thousand more
Time stands still
beauty in all she is,
I will be brave,
I will not let anything,
Take away
,
What's standing in front of me,
Every breath,
Every hour has come to this

One step closer,
I have died everyday,
Waiting for you,
Darlin' don't be afraid,
I have loved you for a
Thousand years,
I'll love you for a
Thousand more
And all along I believed
I would find you,
Time has brought
Your heart to me,
I have loved you for a
Thousand years,
I'll love you for a
Thousand more
One step closer,
One step closer
I have died everyday,
Waiting for you,
Darlin' don't be afraid,
I have loved you for a

Thousand years,
I'll love you for a
Thousand more
And all along I believed
I would find you,
Time has brought
Your heart to me,
I have loved you for a
Thousand years,
I'll love you for a
Thousand more....
What do you guys think?" They sat there shocked. "It's better with the back round music..."

"That was amazing!" Tooth exclaimed.

"Really?" I asked questioning her opinion.

"I'm not much for singing but that was pretty good, Mate." Bunnymund cheered along. I blushed. One step closer... closer to you back in MY clutches... I shivered at Pitch's creepy yet smooth voice in my head.
So... yeah... singing... Christina Perri owns the song...
Also I hope it wasn't too boring there will be more mischief and violence later in the next few chapters so hang in there...
