A/N: Well here is the prologue to me new Rise of the Guardians story hope you like it! ^.^
Grey clouds covered the endless sky of early dawn. Frost covered the grass, and trees. The brisk, cold air made sign of snow. The outside was quite and dark. The only sound was the sad whispers of the wind. It was a sad December day for families all over on in particular.
A little girl age 6 was sound asleep in her bed. Her mother came in and woke her up.
"Alorah. Sweet heart you have to wake up." Her mother said. Her voice sounded hurt and weak. The little girl sat up and looked at her mother. Her face was tear stained and her eyes were still filled with tears.
"Mama what's wrong?" Alorah asked. She didn't know if her crying had to do with the baby or what. Her mother brushed back her daughter's blonde hair and smiled slightly.
"Don't worry about it sweetie. Grab a blanket, your slippers and wait in her okay?"
"O... Okay" Alorah replied to her mother. Her mother kissed her forehead and left. Alorah found her bunny slippers and put on her lavender robe and sat on her window sill. She cleared the window and looked out of it. Her mom was putting bags in the car. 'Are we moving?' She thought to herself.
Her daddy came into the room. He was in clothes she never seen before. He had on thick pants that were camouflage, a thick jacket to match and a hat that matched everything. He wore heavy brown steel toed boots. She looked at her daddy. She didn't know what was going on. The way he looked at her was filled with sorrow but pride. He went over and Sat next to her. She sat on his lap.
"Daddy? Are... are we movin'?" Alorah asked. Her daddy laughed a little and hugged her.
"No baby girl. We ain't movin', but I am going away for a while." Her daddy said quite sadly
"Can I come with you?" Alorah asked hopefully. Her ice blue eyes beamed with hope that he'd say yes. Her daddy looked away from her.
"I'm sorry baby girl but you can't. Not even mama can come." He said. Alorah looked at the ground sadly. Her dad hugged her a little tighter. Her mama came back in the room.
"The car is packed... The car is warmed up let's head out before your late." She said. Alorah's daddy stood up and picked her up and they all went outside. Her daddy buckled her in her seat and covered her up.
It was a long quite ride. It was starting to snow. Alorah's mama and daddy held hand the entire trip. The radio was on sofly. Alorah was in the backseat curled up in her blanket staring out the window.
New about the war came on the radio. It was about bombings and deaths and all. Her mama immediately turned the radio off. Alorah was still so confused. They pulled up to the air port. They got out the car. Her daddy carried her and a large duffle bag. Her mama held onto his hand with tears in her eyes. They walked in the airport.
Alorah saw other men dressed like her daddy and their families crying and refusing to let them go. When her daddy got his bag cleared. He set her down. He kneeled down next to her.
"Alorah, I am going to be gone for a while. Promise me you will be good and help you mother and you will do good in school?" He asked. Alorah nodded. Her dad pulled out a necklace. It was silver with a sliver snowflake and the snowflake has sapphires in it. He put it around her neck. "Don't ever think I don't love you alright?" Her daddy said. She looked around and realized her daddy was going to war. They announced his fight numberS
Her daddy stood up and put his hand on her mama's stomach which was big from the baby and kissed her mama. Her mama was crying. Her daddy picked up his bag and began to walk away. Alorah grabbed his leg and held onto it for dear life. She was crying so hard she couldn't stop.
"NO YOU CAN'T GO! YOU CAN'T GO DADDY! PLEASE STAY DON'T LEAVE ME!" She yelled crying. Seeing this brought her mama into more tears. Alorah' s daddy picked her up.
"Alorah listen to me. I have to go to protect your mama and you and your baby sister. I need you to be strong for them. I have to go and do this baby girl. It kills me to leave y'all. I don't want to but I have too" He daddy said to her. She was still crying. He wiped her tears away and held her close to him. "I am so sorry baby girl... I don't want to leave you... you or your mama" he said. She could hear him on the verge of crying. She stopped crying and looked at him. Her daddy was fighting tears.
She handed him the bunny he had given her one day because her grandmother had died and she wouldn't stop crying.
"Here daddy. Don't cry. Take this with you so I will be there with you." Alorah said. Her mom was shocked at how Alorah changed. Alorah hated people sad. "I promise to take care of Mama and Sissy." She told her daddy. Her daddy hugged Alorah tightly crying.
"I love you so much baby girl. I promise to come back soon." He told her. They called last call for his flight. He kissed Alorah' s forehead, then her mama's stomach then her mama and left with the little white rabbit she had given him.
Alorah and her mom cried after he left. When they couldn't cry anymore Alorah took her mama's hand.
"Come on mama let's go home" she said. Her mama smiled at her and nodded and they left.
The car ride home was descent. They were playing music. Alorah was curled up in the back seat looking out the window. Her mama was singing along to the song. Alorah was singing with her. Then she seen him. A boy with snow white hair and Ice blue eyes fly past their car. He wore a blue hoddie and brown pants and no shoes. He seen her looking at him and smiled. She watched him fly around. To her surprise he made it snow then disappeared. Alorah rubbed her eyes. 'man, I am really tired'She thought to herself.
That was the only time she saw him. She doesn't even know if he was real. Two days before Christmas her baby sister, Lola was born. When she was Alorah always helped her mom out around the house, with the baby and occasionally work. She was determined to keep her promises to her dad.
