I DO NOT OWN RISE OF THE GUARDIANS
Chapter 1
A Party Started and Crashed
LENA'S POV. DECEMBER 31ST.
Okay, so, it had been ten months since Jack and I had gotten together on Valentine's Day, and I couldn't be happier. He was a great boyfriend. He always knew how to make me laugh. Things were going smoothly, and I was happy about that. We didn't get into fights, which also helped. But today of all days is what had me worried.
It was New Years Eve, and at midnight it would mean there was a new year, and that scared me a little. Every year North had a New Years Eve party and all us guardians and the council members even, would count down to the new year. It was always so much fun. North's parties were awesome.
But on this new years eve, when the clock struck twelve midnight, it would mark ten years since the last time. And it had me on edge. Not because of the new year, but because of what would happen at midnight. Only my parents, sister, aunt Agatha, and aunt Celeste, Manny and I knew about it. I hadn't even told my fellow guardians or Jack about it. I could only hope that they wouldn't be around when it was time. If they found out, I would hate what they would think of me. But as long as I minded the time, I should be okay.
I started to get ready. I put on a blue tank top midriff with two finger width straps. I also had on a light blue and dark blue pleated, plaid skirt that went to my knees with black leggings underneath it that went passed my knees by five inches, with blue flats.
I had my hair down in a high pony tail and my streak showed on the right side, as usual and my necklace, the heart, as usual, and my snowflake bracelet that Jack had given me when we hadn't become guardians yet, as usual. I also had light blush, blue tinted lip gloss that tasted like blue raspberry, and blue eye shadow.
Once I finished getting dressed. I went to go help Sonia like I promised. I had helped pick out her outfit. She was wearing a hot pink dress that had black sheer material over the skirt part with musical notes on it, with black flats with pink swirled in it. She had on her musical note necklace and pink piano keys earrings, he hair was in two pig tails, with one on each side, so her pink streak was on both sides. She had light blush and a little pink tinted lip gloss.
We headed downstairs and started to help our mom bake. We always brought treats and baked goods to the parties. I was baking a three lair vanilla snowflake cake with vanilla butter cream filling. It had a blue snowflake in the center on the top and snow flake designs on the sides the blue ribbon like streams connecting them. The vanilla frosting on the edges of the cake were fluffy tear drop designs. I made three of them. I also made five batches of them.
My sister was baking cookies with pink and hot pink musical notes on them. They were chocolate chip, peanut butter, soft sugar, mint, snicker doodle and hard sugar cookies. She always had a secret ingredient to make them taste great. However, would never tell anyone what it was. She made three batches, each had fifteen cookies in it. She also made donuts and éclairs and made a total of fifty of them.
In addition, my mom was making her famous chocolate mouse soufflé. It was tree different kinds of chocolate. Milk chocolate, Dark chocolate and white chocolate. They were the best. Always nice and fluffy and delicious. She topped them off with shredded bits of chocolate and powdered sugar. She made five of them, and in big round dishes, I knew why too. They always went fast. She also made the best vanilla pudding and chocolate pudding, the way it melted in your mouth was amazing. She made three dishes for each, making a total of six pudding bowls and then on had swirl, so there were seven in all.
By the time we had finished, our whole house smelled like a bakery. Then my dad came through a portal from our home nation in Musica.
"That smells wonderful girls."
"Thanks Daddy." said Sonia.
"Yeah, I agreed."
"But you still have to wait until the party to have some Kozmotis." my mother said.
My dad snickered and walked over to her.
"I expected as much. But I can wait. I'll go and get ready." he said leaving to their room to get dressed.
'I can't wait for this party, I just hope that it can go well…' I thought to myself.
THAT NIGHT, AT THE PARTY
Everyone was having a great time. Talking, eating, drinking and just enjoying themselves. My mom, sister and I all received praise for our cooking.
Jack then came up and pecked my cheek after tasting one. He said that my cake was the best he had ever had.
"Thanks Jack." I said, pecking at his lips.
Then my tiny fairies came and started squealing around us. I chuckled, as did Jack. My fairies. They were a bit like Tooth's but mine were snow fairies with musical and snow elemental powers. Small Snow, was the one who looked most like me. It was cute.
Then I checked the clock. 11:50. I needed to get going. I was about to slip away, when North grabbed my hand. Then spoke getting everyone's attention.
"Every party need music. Am I right?" he asked everyone.
They all started cheering for me.
"Um, North, I really should-"
"Be getting up there." he said nudging me on stage and cutting me off.
I really had no choice as the music began to play.
Live Like There's No Tomorrow
If life came to an end today
And we left to many things to say
If we could turn it back
What would we want to change
And now's the time to take a chance
Come on, we gotta make a stand
What if we gotta lose
The choice is in our hands
And we can find a way
To do anything, if we try to
Live like there's no tomorrow
'cause all we have is here right now
Love like it's all that we know
The only chance that we ever found
Believe in what we feel inside
Believe and it will never die
Don't never let this life pass us by
Live like there's no tomorrow
If there never was a night, a day
And memories could fade away
Then there's be
Nothing left, but the dreams we made
Take a leap of faith and hope you fly
Feel what it's like to be alive
Give it all that we've got
And lay it on the line
And we can find a way
To do anything, if we try to
Live like there's no tomorrow
'cause all we have is here right now
Love like it's all that we know
The only chance that we ever found
Believe in what we feel inside
Believe and it will never die
Don't never let this let this life pass us by
Live like there's no tomorrow
Be here by my side
We'll do this together
Just you and me
Nothing is impossible
Nothing is impossible
Live like there's no tomorrow
'cause all we have is here right now
Love like it's all that we know
The only chance that we ever found
Believe in what we feel inside
Believe and it will never die
Don't never let this life pass us by
Live like there's no tomorrow, oh
Live like there's no tomorrow
'cause all we have is here right now
Love like it's all that we know
The only chance that we ever found
Believe in what we feel inside
Believe and it will never die
The music stopped, and I soon sang another song. Once it was over, I looked at the time. 11:59!
"Oh no!" I yelled everyone turned to me.
"Lena, you okay?" asked Jack taking my arm.
"I'll be fine, but I need to leave now!" I said, trying to get away, but Jack wouldn't let go.
"Why?"
"Because…" I trailed off, and for a good reason.
Black smoke appeared in the room. It became cold. I knew what it was. The very thing that I was trying to prevent, was happening. The black smoke soon disappeared and a figure, a boy, looking the same age as Jack and I was standing there. He had a cloak on covering his face, but I already knew who it was. He pulled off the cloak. He had black shaggy, but long hair, black eyes and pale, grey skin. He carried a scythe that was a head taller than him and said,
"Lena, good to see you again."
Everyone immediately turned to me. I had a lot of explaining to do, even if I didn't want to…
"Lena, who is this?" asked Jack looking at me.
"Oh, so Lena hasn't told any of you about me? I'm hurt Lena." he said, faking sadness.
I glared. But took a deep breath and spoke.
"Everyone this is Abaddon. Or otherwise known as Death Jr. the son of Death. As in the Grim Reaper."
Everyone gasped.
"Lena, how do you know him? And what does he want from you?" Jack asked, getting defensive.
Okay, it was confession time…
