AN: Hello! Thank you for clicking on this story! Gosh I'm really nervous! This is my first post! GAH! I should stop with the exclamation marks and let you read the story! (Dammit) Hope you enjoy it! (Frick) - Dani
Also Fish (My Beta/Shared User) wanted to be added...So there, done, I added her...! (BLUH)
Jack could feel it. He really could. He could feel the tiny buzzing in his stomach, and silent ticking in his mind. Sometimes he mistook it for a sickness, a stomach ache caused by to many sweets or a mild headache for flying to fast, it's happened before...But Jack knew better now. He knew that these weren't just minor colds and headaches. Jack had come to realise he was slowly becoming loose. His mind was slowly floating out of his grasp, and the pieces all fell into place when he noticed that there were chips in his shepherd's crook. When he fixed his staff, not all the pieces where there. Not only was his mind a problem, the chips led to some minor backfiring problems as well. At the start the ice only nipped his fingers, but was getting worse. Much worse.
On some days Jack couldn't even use, let alone touch, his staff. It either froze his arm or sent a jolt through his entire body which would make him fly across to the other side of the room. He'd start screaming profanities at the wood, some days he'd just start having full-blown conversations with it and other inanimate objects-an addition when one is losing his mind!
The Yeti seemed to take notice but said nothing...to the winter spirit. Phil had watched as Jack crash-land into the workshop then throw his stick while shouting at it. He moved on to tell North when the boy started to apologise to the wood.
Father Christmas watched the teen with worry as he descended the stairs. Why stare at him with concern? Well, if your friend was serving tea to a wooden pole, wouldn't you?
"Phil," North leaned towards the trusted yeti, "Get the others."
With a grunt, the Yeti made his way down stairs to the globe room. Within a few minutes of pulling and pushing the contraption to call the Guardians, Jack was being held down by other Yeti while being examined by North.
(I spent 10 minutes laughing at the next paragraphs because I wrote something and it sounded wrong. I couldn't even backspace)
"'Ou do' 'eed 'o worr' 'orth" The winter spirit spoke around the paddle stick in his mouth. The moving of his jaw made North sigh once more.
"Jack, stop moving" the Cossack held his jaw and pressed the boy's tongue down. The Guardian of Fun huffed like a child and crossed his arms.
Tooth fluttered in with a slight look of confusion. "Uhm North?" she piped up, startling the man; Jack choked, the stick suddenly deciding to lodge further down his throat.
"Tooth!" North pulled away, along with the stick, allowing Jack to gasp for breath. "You should be knocking my friend!" He set down the wood in a metal tray.
The fairy flew closer with worry in her eyes, "What were you doing?..." She looked around, spotting medical gizmos lying around. "He isn't sick is he!" She gasped, fluttered back a few millimetres. The Cossack held his chin with furrowed brows.
"I do not know...but," He gave Jack, who was glaring at a dust particle, a sideways glance. "Jack has been acting strangely today...like he's not always here" The man toned his voice into a whisper making Tooth fly closer. The queen lowered her feathers in concern and opened her mouth to speak.
"Not jus' today mate."
The two Guardians flinched as they saw Bunnymund leaning on the now closed-door. He was inspecting an egg then glanced over the two. "The snowflake thought he was invisible and decided to-" The Pooka stopped then glared at his paint brush, "Y'know what, I'd rather not bloody say"
Tooth eyed the teen worriedly as he just stared at the ceiling. Bunny was about to speak once more about something, but Jack beat him to it. "Guys...What if, like, what if ceiling could be unreachable...I mean like...how curious would people be if that were.. " He trailed off, then blinked, he rubbed his eyes. The teen turned his head at the three Guardians with slight confusion as they stared at him like he grew another head. Looking away, the winter spirit rubbed his forehead as he connected the pieces. With a curse underneath his breath he gripped his staff tightly.
"I said something weird again, didn't I?" The teen huffed and fell backwards on the hospital bed.
North opened and closed his mouth then rubbed his chin once more. Toothiana fluttered above Jack, who was on his back, reaching for said ceiling. "Jack?" The winter spirit looked blankly at the fairy, then his eyes went wide. Tooth yelped and moved back, away from the frost child's grabbing hands.
"A parrot!" The teen yelled enthusiastically.
"What!?" The fairy's feathers ruffled up. "What did you just call me!" she squeaked.
"The parrot talks. Awesome! What talent!" Jack clapped, impresses by the parr-er...by Tooth.
The queen scrunched up her nose and fisted her hands. She glared at the others, not wanting to take her anger on the delirious boy on the hospital bed. As she was about to yell, Sandy floated in. He made signs, apologising for his tardiness. North glanced at the small man then at Jack, "Sandy, Tooth, let's go to the globe room. Bunny stay here and look after Jack"
"What!" Tooth sent him her queen glare which instantly shut him up. The fairy zoomed out of the room, Sandy floated outside after staring at Jack in confusion, and North just walked out and closed the door. Bunnymund swore he could hear the door lock. "Bloody Galah." he grumbled at the bumbling teen.
AN: I hope you liked the first chapter! *screams off into the distance*
Fish: While Dani screams off into the distance, which she does in a regular basis in her free time, please review! It would make our day. If your curious about what Jack did in Bunny's Warren, he was running around...Naked.
Dani: NEKID!
Fish: Dani... give back the keyboard, we all know how much you like his booty...
I just did! How did you type that!? GASP. AND-He dooooooo got the booty!...Also! A word from the council!...DO NOT APPROACH THE DOG PARK. -Welcome to the Night Vale
This will probably not update very frequently.
Okay, before Dani changes her mind, we're signing off :)
