Pitch Returns

Santa's hand tightens on my shoulder as I finish.

"Pitch! Are you sure?" He asks me. I've caught my breath and I give a dark laugh.

"Oh, I guess I mistook the Ground hog for Pitch! Of course I'm sure, I nearly had a heart attack when I woke up and the temperature dropped on its own. Then here comes this black sand crawling under the moss curtain
that blocks the entrance." I say, bitterly

Sandy stands next to me, a light hand on my back.

"But he's only been gone for twelve years, he couldn't of gained enough strength to attack us." Tooth says. I look up at her.

"I don't think Pitch is going to attack us head on. I think he'll only take out important people, like the Ground Hog, Jack, and me." I say and they all look at the globe behind them.

"Why would Pitch want you?" Jack asks, and everyone shifts their gaze to him. Then back to me. Tooth nods her head and I get up and walk up to Jack.

"I'm the one who controls the season change. From every fallen leaf to every drop of rain. I control the wind, clouds, and the bloom and death of plants." I explain and stick my hand out.

"My name is Season Sally." I introduce. He shakes my hand.

"But, you knew me by something else." I add, showing him the tooth container. I press the center and the memory surrounds us.

"Jack... Jack... I'm scared Jack!" I say in alarm as the ice cracks around me.

"I know, I know, but we're going to have a little fun instead." he says

I close it, bringing us back to the North. Jack stares at the container in my hand. When he looks up, he's smiling.

"Sally!?" He asks me and I smile. Jack does a backflip in the air and looks at me smiling. he runs up and hugs me, swinging me around.

"What did we miss here mate?" Bunny asks confused

But Jack, Tooth, and I just laugh with joy. Tooth explains as Hack pulls a chair out for me. I sit down and lock my fingers together.

"Pitch is also after me for another reason..." I say, letting the sentence hang in the air.

Everyone looks at me, and then at Jack. As he starts to understand, his eyes widen and he takes a step back.

"No... No, I won't let him hurt you." Jack says standing straight up.

I let out a light chuckle, look up at Jack, and speak softly.

"You can't protect me all the time. I'm all over the place now and you can't go with me everywhere. When I'm needed in one place, you're needed in another." I convey. Jack leans against the wall in a huff.

"Sandy and Tooth are too, and I'm not taking Bunny or Santa with me either." I add. Jack shakes his head and stares at the floor.

"I'll do my best to stay safe but I thought guys should know to be careful too." I say walking over to the still open window.

I feel a sharp breeze pulling me away as I jump out the window and fly towards North America.
