Hello my lovelies, this is my first Rise of the Guardians fan fiction. So please read and review, and let me know what you think.
Darkness surrounded me, it engulfed my body. Silencing my screams, and pleads, where was I? I just wanted to go home, a bright light cut through the darkness. It circled around my body, I watched in horror and amazement as the light and the darkness fought. They circled around me, neither giving up the fight. Wake up, wake up! I mentally screamed to myself, the light engulfed the darkness, and slowly they both started to disappear. All that was left was me, and the moon that shown in the star splattered sky.
Walking up, I slowly opened up my eyes; I felt the cold sweat on my fore head. Letting out I deep breath, I said to myself. It was only a dream, I said slowly, glancing at the clock. It read 7:45 a.m. Crap! I hissed, getting out of my bed. I had to be at the airport in two hours! Darting into the bathroom, I striped my clothes, and hoped into the shower. I let the warm water pound on my body. After washing my hair, I turned off the faucet. Wrapping a towel around myself, and began to blow dry my blonde hair, halfway through I left it to naturally dry. Going back into my room, I started to apply my make-up. Black eye shadow, black eyeliner, and some mascara. It made my light blue eyes stand out against my pale face. Well, I said, clapping my hands, looking around together my spotless flat, time to leave! I grabbed my make-up bag, my luggage, and my airplane ticket, and left my flat.
I hailed a taxi, outside. It was another hot day in Phoenix, Arizona, about 33 degrees. The cab driver put my luggage into the cab's trunk, I got into the cab. "Where to?" The cab driver said in a gruff voice. His voice reminded me like some one who would have a body in his basement. "Phoenix Regional Airport, please." I said sweetly, "Pleasure" He said smiling, bearing his rotten teeth. " No I am visiting my family for Christmas." I said nicely. The rest of the cab ride to the airport was eerily quiet. "Okay here we are! That will be thirty-two fifty." He said smiling, I fished through my wallet and gave him a fifty. "Your change is seventeen fifty." He handed me his money, his hands felt rough against mine. Smiling at him, I walked out of the cab. I quickly grabbed my luggage and walked into the airport. There were thousands of people, well I guess because it was two days to Christmas. I thought getting into the luggage check in, the line was slow and unbearable. I waited for nearly an hour before I got my luggage checked in. Next I went through security, oh what fun people man handling me! I thought sarcastically. Talking off my earrings, belt, and my cell phone. Going through the x-ray I waited for a minute then I heard the clearance Bing. Grabbing my things I walked through the doorway, now the last step was to get my passport checked, and then I was on the clear. The short man in the sharply cut uniform asked me all these annoying questions, like "What is the purpose of this trip. Are you alone?" And things like that, after I walked briskly into the waiting area. My flight will leave in thirty minutes; I sat down on an uncomfortable plastic bench. Personally I think it was more like a torture device for the people. Then the loudspeaker cam on, "Flight 304, now leaving for Erie, Pennsylvania." I got up and headed to the gate.
The flight was long, boring, and the screaming child beside me didn't help either. By the time we landed in Erie, it was 4 pm. I left the loading gate and waited for my luggage to come around. Now all I had to do was find my mother. "Alex!" I heard someone call out, then I was roughly embraced. I looked down to see my half-sister Sophie glued to my leg. I smiled warmly, "Well hello, Darling! I missed you so much." I picked her up and spun her around. "Wee!" She squealed with delight, I placed her back on the ground. "Welcome come Pennsylvania." My mother said warmly, pulling me into a hug. "Alex, I missed you so much!" She squeezed, "Mom air!" I gasped. She let go, "Oh sorry, sweetie." She said still smiling, "Alex long time no see!" My step father Phil said warmly. He pulled me into a hug, "I missed you guys so much!" I said with a brilliant smile. "Where is Jamie?" I said looking at them, and next thing I knew I was knocked to the ground. I looked around, to see Jamie smiling on top of me. "Jamie!" I pulled him into a hug, "My god you have grown!" I said getting off of the ground. "How old are you now?" I said rubbing his head, "I am twelve!" He said proudly, "Oh wow you look older, kid." I said smirking, "Next thing you know I'll be setting you up with my friends." I said chuckling, the look of horror spread across his face. "I am just kidding, they are to old for you anyway." I said. "Come on let's get going we have to get home and decorate the Christmas tree. "Santa, Santa!" Sophie chirped. I rolled my eyes; I forgot they still believed in Santa, and all those other characters. I felt someone nought me, I looked at my mom. She gave me the Don't-say-anything look. I nodded and kept my lips shut.
We walked outside; I was greeted to the breeze of cold air. I shivered, oh God it was cold. We walked to the car. We sped home; I grabbed my luggage and went inside. My room was the same as I left it, purple walls with black curtains. I began to unpack my clothes and make-up, then I headed down stairs for dinner. I ate quietly as Jamie and Sophie told me what they have been doing since the summer, when I last saw them. "Alex how is your school doing." I smiled, "I love it, right now we are learning about legends and fables." "Like Santa?" Sophie said smiling widely; one of her front teeth was gone. "Yes, Sophie."
After dinner I helped my mom and Phil clean up. "So do you have a boyfriend yet?" Phil questioned. I smirked, "No, I am more focused on getting my degree, and landing my Historian job." I said proudly. "That is good Alex." Phil said, arm deep in soapy water, "Want to do me a favour and take out the trash?" "Sure" I said nonchalantly, I grabbed the garbage bag and ran outside in my bare feet. I quickly put the bag in the trashcan and ran back inside. That was a very smart idea, I hissed to myself.
I headed into my room, changing into my black track pants and a navy blue sweater. Around eleven Sophie came in, "Alex, I can't sleep." I smiled at her, "Why?" I got off my bed and picked her up. "I am afraid." Sophie said softly, I smirked. "Afraid of what, Sophie?" "I am afraid of Pitch." I gave her a confused look, "Who is Pitch, Sophie." Silently hoping this Pitch didn't hurt her. "He is the boogeyman." I laughed, "Sophie the boogeyman is just a leaned, a myth. He isn't real, he is just a made up story to scare all the naughty children to behave. Have you been naughty Sophie?" "No." She said quickly, "Well then there is nothing to fear." I said smoothly, taking Sophie back into her room. "Can you check under my bed?" Sophie said nervously, "Of course I will." I knelt and peered under the bed" I tick, "All I see in dust bunnies." "Can you check the closet, too?" "Yes." I opened her closet, looking in I saw nothing. "Nope, not a thing, Sophie. Like I said there is no such thing as the boogeyman." "Pitch." She said, "He doesn't like being called the boogeyman." I put my hands up in a surrender position, "Okay, Pitch isn't real." I tucked her in, then I closed the door behind me. I quietly crept back into my room, sitting on my bed I rolled my eyes. The boogeyman, give me a break. I settled into my bed, I had a dream of piecing golden eyes and darkness.
And we are done let me know what you think. Read and review. I own nothing!
