Yeah! First chapter! Sweet!
So, this is my first big four fan fic and I'm not really sure who some of the names are, such as Jack's sister. I was readign some other fics and they said her name was Pippa so...that's the name I'm going with too.
Anywho, I hope you like the first chapter and I really hope it's not too OOC.
Enjoy! :)
CHAPTER 1
WHAT IS GOING ON?
"Jack? Come on, this isn't fair," a young girl said, out in the middle of a forest.
She had straight brown hair that went a bit past her shoulders and a small pink headband in her hair. She was about seven years old and right now, she was playing hide and seek with her older brother, Jack. He had the same brown hair and brown eyes that she had but he was much taller and far skinnier.
He was way too good at the game and he knew that at just the right moment, he would jump out of his hiding place and scare her, just out of fun.
She stopped under the tree he was hiding in and pouted, "Jack, stop being so mean. Sometimes I hate playing hide and seek with you." He still didn't answer. "Fine, I'm going home."
She started to march off, only making Jack giggle up in his tree, and soon she was on the other side the dirt road that separated their farm from the forest. He was about to slowly sleek up behind her when he slipped and crashed to the ground, only to end up laughing at himself.
The girl turned around and did her best to scold him, "That's what you get for climbing bare foot. Why don't you ever listen to me when I tell you something that could hurt you?"
"Because it's fun, Pippa," he said and stopped up. "You just need to learn how to have some real fun and then you'll understand."
"Why do I need to learn it when I have you?" she asked, crossing back over the road. "I mean, you come up with some of the best games ever and…"
BEEEEEEEPPPP!
"Pippa! Look out!" Jack yelled as a car began to skid down the road too fast.
Pippa was frozen with fear as the car continued to careen at her and Jack jumped in the way, holding his hands out in front of himself to protect his sister. He closed his eyes as the car came closer and just as he thought they were both going to die, it seemed the car jumped over them.
They both heard a crash sound behind them and when Jack opened his eyes, he saw a ramp of sheer ice going over the two kid's heads. He looked behind them to see the car had hit a tree and the driver was still trapped inside.
He took a quick glance at Pippa, who was shaking with fear and had her eyes still closed, and he quietly said, "Pippa, I need to go help that driver. He might need help. Go stand over by that tree and I promise I'll be right back."
She just nodded her head and stumbled over to the designated tree. Jack quickly ran over to the car, which was starting to ignite flames, and he threw open the door.
He saw the man in the car was unconscious and he tried shaking him awake, saying, "Hey! Can you hear me? Wake up. Your car is going to…"
The man didn't answer and so Jack leaned in to unbuckle the seat belt. He was about to drag the man out when the right side of the car caught on fire and an explosion caused Jack to stumble away. He couldn't really get close to the car without getting burned and so he grabbed a staff like stick that was nearby and pulled the man out of the car just as it exploded into a million pieces.
He sat there on the ground, gasping for breath, and he looked over at the man to see he was still alive and relatively okay. He stood up and walked over to his sister, who was still frozen to the tree, and he just grinned like nothing had happened.
"Fun, right?" he asked.
"Jack…" her voice gave out on her.
"Yeah? What?" he asked, oblivious to the look of fear on his sister's face.
"Your hair…" she whispered.
"What about it?" he asked.
"It's white."
He blinked a few times and thought about what she had said and said, "It's white? You're kidding, right?"
She slowly shook her head, her eyes glued to his head. She slowly pulled out her cell phone and gave it to him. He looked at his reflection and nearly dropped the phone.
He scurried away from the phone and gasped, "What? What's going on? Why is my hair white?"
"And your eyes…their blue," she said. "Jack, what's happening?"
"I can tell you what's happening," a voice said from behind the two.
Jack turned quickly to see a woman with curly black hair and a dark green cloak on. Instinctively, Jack stepped in front of his sister and held the staff, as if it were a sword.
"Who are you? What do you want?" Jack asked.
"I am Gothel and…I want you," she grinned at him evilly. "You are the missing ingredient needed for my plan to work. I will be needing your services."
"And what if I refuse, creepy lady?" he asked.
"You will never see your sister again," she said and instantly a hand gabbed Pippa and pulled her away from her brother.
"Jack!" she cried as a large man came from behind the tree, holding her tightly.
"Pippa! Let her go!" Jack demanded the man.
"How sweet. The boy wants his sister back," a dark man said as he calmly walked to stand next to Gothel. "Are you sure he is what we need? He seems too…small."
"He is the one, Pitch," Gothel smiled. "Just watch. So, Jack, if you want your sister back safely, all you have to do is…make it snow."
"Snow? Are you crazy?" Jack asked. "It's the middle of summer and I…I can't control the weather."
"Then where did that come from?" Pitch asked, pointing at the melting ramp.
"I…I don't know," Jack said. "It just came out of nowhere. I don't know how that happened."
"You made that happen, so do it again," Gothel said. "Or she gets it. Mordu is really a nice guy, but his worst pet peeve is when little girls scream. It just makes him so mad. Isn't that right, Mordu?"
He grunted in response and squeezed Pippa tighter.
"Jack," she gasped in pain.
"Leave her alone! Please…" he said.
"Do as we tell you and she will not be harmed," Gothel said, her patience running thin.
"I…I don't know what to do," Jack said. "How do I…make it snow?"
"I'm getting tired of this," Pitch said and a strange black stream of sand escaped his hands and headed straight for Jack.
His eyes grew wide and just before the black sand hit him, he swung the staff to protect himself and turned the sand into ice. He stared at the strange happenstance and gasped.
"Did…did I do that?" he whispered.
"What did I tell you?" Gothel said and pushed Pitch. "He's the one."
"Stay away from me. What do you want?" he asked, pointing the staff at them.
"Enough questions. Alvin!" Pitch called and the next thing Jack knew, he was inside a dark sack being carried on someone's back. He heard Pitch say, "Right, now take him back to the island. We need to get this over with."
"Hey! Let me out of here! Where are you taking me?" Jack said as he struggled in the bag.
"Silence boy!" Gothel said. "We are taking the girl as well. We can't have any witnesses."
"Nooo!" Jack yelled.
He was going to try and use the strange ice powers he had when a loud screech came from overhead and a large explosion knocked the bag from the man's hands. Jack hit the ground with a large thud and he groaned in pain only to hear that there was some sort of battle going on outside. He did his best to listen to what was happening, but all he seemed to hear were shorts and grunts as someone got hit with something.
"Let's get out of here!" he heard Gothel yell.
"Mordu! Change!" the man Alvin cried and soon the sound of retreating footsteps could be heard.
"Those stupid trouble makers," a rather nasally sounding voice said as a large something landed on the ground. "I think Toothless is getting bored, aren't you buddy?"
A gurgling sound came from the thing called Toothless and the boy laughed a bit.
"I don't really think your pet is really why we are here," a girl with a thick Scottish accent said sternly. "We need to get whatever is in this bag back to North. I'm sure he'd be very interested as to what they wanted with it."
"Ooh, what's this thing?" another girl asked, her voice sounding soft and inquisitive. "It looks like hook. Argh! I be Captain Hook. Where be that pesky Peter Pan?"
"That's a good impersonation," the boy said. "But we need to get back to North. He'll be wanting to know what happened. Come on Toothless. Let's take this bag hope."
The sound of large wings reached Jack's ears and soon he felt himself being lifted into the air. He tried to grab on for dear life only to realize, it would be pointless. He just sat there in the sack, waiting as he was taken to some place he had no idea where it was located and all he could think about was if his sister was okay.
Eventually, he felt himself getting lower and finally dropped on the ground with a thud. He rubbed his head, not sure if it was a good idea to let these people know he was in the bag.
"Hey, North. Look what we brought back," the Scottish girl said. "Those four freaks were trying to take it somewhere."
"Oh? Well, let's see what it is," a man with a Russian accent said, a bit too happy.
Jack felt the knot at the top of the bag getting undone and he nearly tumbled out of the bag like an idiot when it opened. He ended up on his back and he looked up to see four people looking down at him. There was a girl with ridiculously wild red hair pointing an arrow at his face, a shrimpy looking boy standing next to what looked like a dragon, another girl with long blonde hair holding a frying pan over her head, and a large man with a long white bear and a big belly.
The big man smiled at him and said, "Ah, what a surprise. The Fear Makers were after a boy. What a change of plans."
"Uh…" Jack said, confused beyond belief. "Where am I?"
"You are at my school. My school for lucky and gifted children," the man chuckled. "It seems you have caught the attention of the Fear Makers. I wonder, what could have made you their target."
"I found this near him," the blonde girl said, handing over the staff. "It's completely covered in ice. Maybe he had somehow gotten a hold of a secret weapon and they want it back."
"Or he stole it," the red head said. "He looks like a thief."
"No I don't," Jack said and sat up. "They took my sister! I need to get my sister back!"
"Whoa, slow down boy," North said and put his hand on Jack's shoulder. "Can you tell us anything that might help us figure out why they would want you? Anything."
"They…they said I was an ingredient for some plan and that…They wanted me to make it snow, in the middle of summer," Jack said. "They must have been crazy. I can't make it snow. I'm just…a normal kid…or at least I think I am."
"What do you mean?" the blonde girl asked.
"Look at my hair!" he said a bit too loudly. "Is white hair normal for a kid? No. I used to have brown eyes too and now…now…What has happened to me?"
"Don't worry, boy," North said. "We can figure this out. We will help you find your sister, but you will need to calm down and think. Did they say where they were heading?"
"No…an island or something. I…I just don't know," he said and stumbled away from the large man. "I need…I need to get out of here."
He ran into the wall where it instantly got frosted over and he freaked out ever more.
"What is going on!?" he yelled and ran into a table, also causing it to freeze. "This doesn't make sense."
"Uh…North, I think we should do something," the boy with the dragon said.
"I agree. Merida…can you…" North said, bending down to whisper.
"With pleasure," she said and walked over to the boy.
She walked up to him, tapped him on the shoulder and when he turned to look at her, she socked him in the face. It was hard enough that it knocked him out and he collapsed on the floor. The other three came over and looked down at him.
"Poor, guy," the blonde said.
