Many never knew how spirits are created. Few knew that they were created by the moon, either reborn or chosen. However not all spirits can be good, where there is good there is evil. Amongst the spirits the most evil is known as Pitch Black aka the boogeyman. He is the embodiment of fear and evil and will do anything to get what he wants. This time he had no mercy.
…
Jack Frost cheered as he flew on the winds through the air. It was near the end of winter and spring was about to take over. Jack was flying towards Burgess, his rebirth place and home to his first believer, Jaime Bennett. Now it was midnight in Burgess but Jack had wanted to see his first believer and have fun in the last bit of snow, which was more like slush now, before it melted and became unplayable in.
Jack landed on his windowsill like he had the year ago when Pitch was trying to destroy the belief of children. The days after his defeat were full of wonder, hope, dreams, memories, and of course, fun. Jack silently opened the window to his room and would have proceeded further if not for the figure standing next to him in his bed.
The figure had her eyes closed and seemed to be in concentration. Jack pointed his staff towards her and winter magic sparked at the end ready to fire. The figures eyes opened and she put a finger to her lips trying to tell him to be quiet. Jaime frowned slightly and tensed in his bed.
Jack lowered his staff as the figure once again closed her eyes and sprinkled small sparkles of light above Jaime's head. Jaime relaxed and smiled and dreamsand formed above his head showing a snowball fight with Jack. Jack tried to stifle his laughter when in Jaime's dream Jack had dumped a pile of snow on him only to result in Jaime jumping on him causing the two to tumble around.
The figure giggled quietly and waved to Jack to gain his attention. She gestured for him to go outside so that they could talk and he nodded, asking the wind to help him fly down. Once his bare feet touched the ground, the figure in the bedroom shot out of the window gracefully exposing two pure white angel wings. She looped in the air before landing in front of Jack.
She had a white short sleeved dress until her knees, a belt hanging loosely on her waist with a sword attached to it and a silver bracelet in mid position between her elbow and her shoulder. The girl herself was pale, but not as pale as Jack of course, and had dark brown hair with grey eyes to match. Jack glanced at her feet to see that she was also barefoot and smiled at the girl.
"What did you do with Jaime?" Jack shifted his weight onto his staff and fidgeted a little.
"He had a terrible nightmare; I was just pushing it to the back of his mind so that he wouldn't remember it. It was horrible, I prefer not to go into detail but it is something no one his age should even dream off" she glanced up at the window once again as if worried it would happen again.
"So you're like Sandy? You give kids good dreams?" Jack asked curiously.
"No, not really. I don't give them the dreams, that's Sandy's job, I just make their bad dreams into a distant memory so that they wouldn't be bothered by it. But I only do that to dreams if it's like what Jaime just had. I mostly just help them keep their naivety and innocence until they grow older. A difficult job when you're stuck at the eternal age of 15 really…" she shrugged slightly and stroked her wings.
Jack was curious to what dream Jaime had had that was so horrible but seeing as how uncomfortable the girl was at talking about it he kept quiet for now. He made a mental note to tell the guardians after he learned more about his new friend.
"So what's your name? And are you, like, a guardian angel or something?" the girl giggled slightly at being called a guardian angel but shook her head.
"I'm Skylar, but you can call me Sky, and no I'm not a guardian angel. I'm just a spirit with angel wings, chosen by the man in the moon" Jack examined Sky's angels wings closely and planned his answer.
"I'm Jack Frost, the incredibly handsome winter spirit and guardian of fun" Sky laughed at his intro and Jack found himself blushing actually. That's weird… he shrugged of his thought and grabbed Sky's hand pulling her with him.
"Where are we going Jack?" asked Sky as she began to flap her wings when she saw Jack about to jump into the air. He did so a moment later and the two were soaring through the air with Jack leading them.
"We're going to see the guardians! And wind says she likes how soft your wings are!" the wind playfully circled around Sky as if to agree and Sky shouted a 'thanks' into the air. Jack reached into his hoodie pocket and pulled out a snow globe, given to him by North after getting lost on his way to the North Pole for a guardian meeting for the fifth time. He shook it and said 'North's workshop' and threw it into the air.
The portal opened and the two disappeared into the swirl of colors, the portal closing soon after. Jack and Sky appeared in the workshop's globe room but gasped at the sight. The globe was destroyed, nothing but a pile of broken disfigured metal, small fires were still going in weird place of the room and walls. Broken glass was scattered everywhere and the worse of it, dead bodies lay across the floor. Most of them yetis and a few occasional elves and blood splattered everywhere.
Sky hid her face in Jack's shoulder as he tried to comfort her. They barely knew each other but the sight of the massacre was frightening. Jack surveyed the dead bodies, trying to see if there were any from the guardians. He almost sighed in relief when he didn't find any only to remember that the workshop was large and they could be somewhere else.
"C'mon" the two spirits flew by cautiously, avoiding the blood and the dead bodies. They tried to stare ahead to look for survivors or the guardians but the glazed soulless eyes of the dead bodies was hard to miss. Jack led them to the toy making room only to find more bodies and more blood. They avoided that as well and flew into North's study.
They landed in front of the giant door that led to North's study and Jack reached for the door knob but hesitated. He was scared, scared of what he might find but he had to be brave so with a deep breath he turned the knob and opened the door. With the door opened widely, Jack had wished he never opened it in the first place.
In the middle of the study laid, North and Tooth, both dead. Tooth had a bruise around her neck showing that she was strangled, her wings were ripped and unrecognizable and her arm was in an awkward position, probably dislocated or broken. North was worse, he had stab wounds in his belly and a stab wound at his heart. His large red coat was torn and covered in blood and his sabers were in his hands, covered in blood.
Tooth and North's eyes were still open and they stared soullessly at the ceiling. Jack wanted to cry, he really did, but found that he could not. Instead he ran straight for the two guardians and tried to check for any signs of life. When none was found he tried to convince himself that it was a nightmare that Pitch was messing with him. Sky knelt down next to him and put a hand on his shoulder to stop him from freaking out. She shook her head solemnly and closed the eyes of North and Tooth.
"We have to keep looking there maybe survivors" Jack shook his head, not wanting to leave his parental figures. Sky sighed and went to look for signs of life herself. The beat of her angels wings were the last thing Jack heard before he started tearing up. His tears froze halfway down his face but he couldn't be bothered to wipe them away.
When no more tears could be shed he held the hands of both guardians and started to recall their tales in the previous year. The pranks he pulled, learning to drive the sleigh with North, Tooth panicking and checking his teeth and body to make sure he was okay after, Tooth doing dental checks on his teeth every day and North sneaking him cookies after she was done.
He stopped when he heard Sky clear her throat awkwardly behind him. Standing with her was Phil and a few other yetis and elves who had survived and Baby Tooth who flew over immediately to Jack with some of her sisters following behind.
"They were the only survivors I could find here. I'm sorry for your loss but we have to go. Phil says that the other guardians are in danger, Pitch attacked everyone here" Jack's eyes widened at the mention of the boogeyman and, using his staff as support, got up and led everyone to the sleigh. To their relief, the sleigh and the reindeer were mostly unharmed, frightened but unharmed. The remaining survivors piled into the sleigh with Jack driving.
Sky flew next to the sleigh with the mini fairies only Baby Tooth was with Jack, on his shoulder.
Phil took out a snow globe and grumbled out 'Bunny's warren' in Yetish before throwing it. They arrived in the warren to find the same thing as the pole only no blood. It was like the Easter incident last year all over again. Broken eggshells lay on the ground, the sentinel eggs were broken and destroyed, the dye river had floating eggshells in it and the mini fairies were practically about to pass out.
Some did pass out but Sky caught them and carried them instead.
"Look for the Easter Bunny, I'll check for surviving eggs" Jack nodded and cracked the reins shouting a 'hyah' causing the sleigh to go faster. One of the yetis spotted Bunny on the ground below a giant willow tree. Jack abruptly handed the reins to the closest yeti and rode on the wind to Bunny. Bunny had blood stained on his fur and cuts all over his body.
"Kangaroo, you better not be dead!" Jack checked for any sign of life and got excited when he heard a small pulse and slight breathing. Bunny was alive, hanging on the edge of death, but for now he was alive. Sky returned the same time the yetis landed the sleigh with the elves. Sky was carrying about 16 eggs and shook her head showing that she could find no more. Jack sighed and carried Bunny's large form, compared to his, bridal style.
"He's need help but we still need to find Sandy" Sky grabbed a snow globe from Phil and got the elves out of the sleigh.
"The yeti's can look for Sandy while we get help for Bunny" everyone nodded and the yetis climbed back into the sleigh and went off to Sandy's island.
"Where do we go now?" asked Sky while keeping the elves together.
"Mother Nature's forest" instructed Jack getting more worried about Bunny. He did not want to lose another friend. Bunny was like his older brother and he did not want to lose him when he could be saved. Sky did the necessary and seconds later they were in Mother Nature's forest. The forest was deadly quiet and Jack hoped that his seasonal sibling and Mother Nature were okay.
"Jack!" three voices chorused at the same time.
"Rapunzel, Merida, Hiccup!" Jack was relieved that they were okay. They ran towards him with Toothless bouncing after them. They were not hurt but they did have blood covering them.
"Where's Mother?" the other three seasonals looked at the ground and shook their heads. Mother Nature was dead just like Tooth and North. Jack tried not to collapse from the sorrow he was feeling at another death and held Aster out to Rapunzel.
"Can you heal him?" Rapunzel gestured for Jack to lay Bunny down and she went to work on him with her healing hair. Jack turned his attention back to the others and found Merida and Hiccup staring at Sky suspiciously.
"Hiccup, Merida, this is Sky, she's a spirit with angel wings and she protects children's' naivety and innocence. Sky this is Hiccup, Spirit of Autumn, Merida, Spirit of Summer and the one healing Bunny is Rapunzel, Spirit of Spring. And now that I think of it how do you know the guardians?" Sky shrugged and messed with her wings, muttering 'everyone knows the guardians'.
"What happened here?" Hiccup and Merida explained what had happened with Rapunzel shouting in her own comments every now and then and Jack and Sky found that their story was similar to what happened in the pole.
The boogeyman had gone on a massacre in the pole, the warren and Mother Nature's forest, Bunny was possibly the only guardian, other than Jack, alive if Sandy could not be found. There was still no word from the yetis yet but Jack was more worried about Pitch.
What was he planning and why?
