Home Alone
JACK
He was flying over his most favourite place in the world for the fiftieth time in a week. Burgess. It was yesterday that he had been having an intense snowball fight with Jamie and Sophie Bennett and today was going to be no different. Jack allowed the wind to drop him in a tree out the back of the primary school which the two children attended. Crouching on the branch, staff in hand Jack smiled as the final bell rang and a steady stream of laughing kids poured out of the building. His energised stunning blue eyes scanned faces for his two believers. Spotting Sophie was usually easy. Her hair stood out, not as much as Jack's did, but it still looked liked it was partially glowing. This time though it was Jamie that Jack saw first, followed closely by his younger sister. Jack stood up in the tree and took off into the brisk air.
He followed the two kids up a street. For once he actually had to hide in order for him not to be seen. It felt really strange. The siblings were scanning the streets and sky looking for Jack. They stopped on the corner of a lonely street and began to talk. Jack saw the opportunity and swung into action. Landing behind a bench, Jack slowly crept towards the two unaware kids. A snowball, glistening in the sun formed in Jack's hand. He drew it back ready to aim and then launched it. It hit Jamie in the back perfectly. Jack whooped in glee. Jamie spun around and the smile that blossomed on his small face was enough to make Jack cry out in joy again.
They rushed to him. Instantly Sophie grabbed onto Jack's leg with all her might and stayed there chanting his name. Jack ruffled her hair and stared into her eyes, well the part that he could see at least. Jamie hugged Jack so much he was sure he didn't have any ribs left. They were laughing. It felt amazing to do so with Jack's two most favourite people in the whole world, excluding the other Guardians of course.
"Hey you two. How's it going?"
"Oh Jack I'm so glad that you came to visit again! I had an idea on what we can do this afternoon," Jamie squealed in delight.
"Yeah and what's that?"
"We can go ice-skating!"
Jack felt a sudden burn in his heart. The last time he had gone ice-skating was when he had drowned in Burgess's lake after saving his sister. At least I saved her. Shaking the memory away Jack beamed down at the two.
"Okay then ice-skating it is! I'll wait for you out here and get everything ready,"
With that Sophie and Jamie dashed into their house only to reappear a minute later in their snow gear holding ice-skates. Jack led them down to the lake. The two kids were bouncing around in excitement urging Jack to hurry up. He sighed and did as he was told for once and only because they were Jamie and Sophie. The trees gave way to a clearing and lying silently in the middle was the frozen lake. As the kids ran on ahead, to put their skates on, Jack stopped dead in his tracks. Now that he knew what happened here, the sight of the lake made his nerves climb into space Jack. He hadn't told Jamie what happened here. How could he? The boy was only a child. It would scare him and the last thing Jack wanted was for Jamie to be scared. There was a light tug on his sleeve and Jack glanced down into Jamie's chocolate eyes. Instantly the feeling that the lake had caused vanished. Jack flew over and landed in the middle of the lake, twirling his staff around. He pointed it at Jamie.
"Come on then, let's have some fun,"
Jamie stepped onto the ice. Jack expected the wobbly kneed kid to fall instantly. To his surprise Jamie took off, gliding gracefully across the surface of the ice. Jack laughed and gave him the thumbs up which made him beam with pride. Sophie on the other hand managed to get on foot on the ice before teetering forward. Jack raced towards her and caught the small girl before she could fall onto the harsh ice. She simply giggled. Jack, holding her hand guided the five year old a meter on the ice. She slipped and wobbled a lot as her older brother skidded to a halt, showering ice, to help her. Together they helped Sophie get started.
They were laughing so much Jack barely noticed the Northern Lights rippling across the cloudless blue sky. It was only when Jamie finally fell over that it was brought to his attention by none other than the youngest Bennett.
"Jack, Jack pretty lights, pretty lights!"
"What? Soph I thinkā¦," Jack's next words were caught in a lump in his throat.
Why had North activated the Northern Lights? Were they in trouble? Surely it couldn't be Pitch. It had only been a year. There's no way he could have regenerated that quickly. Right? His grip on his wooden staff tightened. He shook his head and turned away. It was probably nothing. His piercing blue eyes drifted back to the spectacular light show. No, North wouldn't joke about this. Whatever was going down was serious. Jack sighed heavily. He stared at the two kids and forced a smile onto his colour drained lips.
"Sorry guys we're going to have to end early. I have to go,"
"Is something wrong? Are the others in danger?" Jamie asked unlacing his skates then helping Sophie.
"Nah it's probably nothing. Bunny wanting pay back for something I've done,"
"Skate, skate," Sophie said sadly.
"I know Soph, I promised. As soon as whatever those guys have gotten themselves into is over we'll do this again and next time I'll stay for the whole day not just the afternoon,"
That seemed to cheer them up. He dropped Jamie and Sophie back home. Waving goodbye Jack took off into the air, allowing the Wind to carry his body towards the North Pole.
"There better be a very good reason for all this. Stupid responsibility. I'll have to make it up to Jamie,"
The air around him changed as he flew further north. The landscape was transformed into towering glaciers and the ground below became a pure white. To Jack this was paradise. A looming structure began to emerge on the horizon. Its bright colour making it stand out from the bleached snow riddled pole. Jack swooped into through a window and landed perfectly inside the room. As soon as his feet hit the ground Jack knew that something was up. The couch and armchair in front of the dead fire have both been turned upside down, as if someone had knocked them over. North loved that armchair; he would never ever leave it in this state. This was the room they always met in. If the Northern Lights were activated then why is no one here? That's when the worst hit Jack. There was silence. This is Santa's Workshop there is never silence. Where was everyone?
PITCH
He stared down at then limp forms of the four Guardians. He had caught them by surprise. All he had to do was laugh and they were on edge. They may not be scared of him, but at least they're wary. It's the best Pitch was going to get. A cloud of black sand had then encircled them. Although it had drained Pitch to the extent where even talking was an immense effort, it served its purpose. The Guardians were separated. At that point Pitch had simply captured the Tooth Fairy and threatened to kill her if they didn't turn themselves in. Pitch knew that he wouldn't have been able to take them down. There was no need though. The best thing about good people is that they will always do good. In this case the others surrendered.
Pitch smiled at the fond memory. Having all of the Guardians bowing down in front of him, sent delightful chills crawling across his death pale skin. Well almost all. Jack Frost hadn't been there. That's okay though, it was all part of his plan. Actually it was plan B, but it would work this time. The last time he had underestimated Jack's ability and power. Now he was prepared.
Pitch stood on a platform, smiling in glee at the unconscious Guardians. When they wake, in his sand prison, he would reveal everything. The very knowledge of what was about to happen to their beloved winter spirit will drive them insane, knowing there is nothing they can do to prevent it.
Don't worry this is going to go somewhere. I'll be able to update in a week. Hope you liked it. Thanks so much! :)
