The young blonde darted through the trees. Stray branched smacking Sophie's face, cutting a little into her pale skin but not deep enough to cause bleeding. She didn't know where she was going. All she was doing was running in the direction the voice in her head told her. The sun had begun to rise the east; sweat was beating its way down Sophie's body. Her book bag smacking against back. Heart pounding so hard in her chest, she could hear it in her ears.
She'd managed to get at least maybe five miles from Burgess. Never before had she'd been so thankful that she'd lived so close to the outer limits of the Burgess city limits.
The dark purple book bag dropped to the ground while Sophie leaned against the tall oak tree. Her breathing slowed a bit. Sophie pulled a green hair tie from her off her wrist; quickly she pulled her sweat soaked blonde hair into a messy, tight ponytail.
"Rest for a while. I'll wake you if anything happens." the deep voice said and soon Sophie felt her eyes grow heavy. A second later she was out, using her book bag for support.
"She promised she'd be back!" Jack yelled in his head, pulling on his white messy hair.
Jack had gone back to check to see if Sophie had made it back but she hadn't. Jamie soon realized something was up when his best friend was pacing around his room, mumbling. Something he always did when he was worried or angry.
"What are you worrying about?" Jamie questioned, turning around in his desk chair to face the Guardian of Fun.
"Sophie. She told me she was going for a walk to clear her thoughts and now she's missing!" Jack freaked, falling onto Jamie's bed.
The brunette's eyes widen once Jack said his younger sister was missing. How could she have been so careless as to just leave the house without telling him?! No, how could she have been so careless to leave the house in the middle of the night period! She's seen what happens to those who sneak out after dark. They get killed or kidnapped!
"She been hope she's dead because when I find her, she'll be dead or grounded for life!" Jamie shouted, storming out of the bedroom and running down the stairs; Frost following him.
"This is all my fault...I shouldn't have let her go...I should have watched over her from where she couldn't see me...Oh...I just hope the kangaroo doesn't find out about this...then I'd be dead...again!" Jack quietly scolded himself.
Jack found Jamie in Sophie's room, searching for anything hinted at to where she could have gone. Drawers and closets were open and everything they contained on the floor, some on the floor from when Sophie freaked out because she couldn't find her favorite jacket. The one she'd been wearing when he saw her a couple hours ago.
"Jamie...searching her room is not going to help." The winter spirit told him, putting a hand on the brunette's arm.
"I know...Where was the last place you saw her?" Jamie demand, gazing up at him.
"By the pond." Jack responded.
Once the words came out of his mouth, he realized he seriously shouldn't have left her alone. The pond was where he died...he didn't want her falling through the ice or hurting herself.
"Come on!"
"You're going to be very, very important in the future, Sophie. You just don't know how or when yet." The voice whispered.
Sophie looked around the dark cavern she was in, trying to find where the voice was coming from to no avail. The voice seemed to be coming from everywhere.
"They've ignored you for many years, Sophie. To them, you're just a kid. Just and always will be, Jamie's little annoying sister." It purred, causing goose bumps to form along Sophie's arms and neck.
A cold wind blew through Sophie's tangled blonde hair, and caressing her face. The wind seemed to lift her chin up so she was looking up at someone who wasn't there. It moved a piece of golden hair from her face so she could see more clearly.
"Get Frost to join us." A black dagger appeared in her hands.
Sophie opened her mouth to protest and question the voice/wind but was silenced. No sound came from her.
"Hush my dear, don't you cry or say a word. There's someone that loves you and is very proud of you. They're nearby too. If you want to find them...get Jack Frost to join us..."
Sophie's emerald eyes shot opened and she awoke; her breathing quickening. Snow landed in her hair and on her body. She blinked the tears and sleep from her eyes, looking around. Sighing, she realized she was still alone. She scrambled to her feet, pulling her book bag off the ground and over her shoulder. Out of the corner of her eye, she spotted the black knife shining in the sunlight and standing out in the cold white snow.
"It wasn't just a dream..." She thought to herself as she scooped up the knife and stuck it in her back pocket.
"Sophie!" A familiar voice shouted causing the girl to quickly turn around.
Jack stood in between two trees. Seeing Jack, her throat closed up and her heart began skipping beats. She tried moving back, but her feet refused to move. Sophie's left hand instantly when to her back pocket, feeling the knife cutting her hand a bit.
"Soph?" Jack asked, concerned as to why she was moving away from him. Quickly, he flew over to the young teenager, grabbing her by the waist and flying high in the air with her. Sophie's screams filled the cold winter morning when her feet were no longer touching the ground.
"Put me down!" She demanded, taking the knife out of her pocket.
"Sophie...what are you doing with that...?" the winter spirit laughed nervously, tensing up when she put the blade to his throat.
Her emerald eyes where no longer as bright as they were a couple seconds ago. They seemed to darken and formed a gold outline around them. A smirk formed on Sophie's face, "You're joining us, Jack." She told him in seriously what had to be the creepiest voice he's ever heard.
"W-wha~" Before he even got a chance to finish the first word of his question/statement, Sophie stabbed him the stomach. Black sand coming from the knife and spreading into Jack.
Jack's grip on Sophie's waist tighten as they fell back towards the ground; pain spreading through the newest Guardian's abdomen. They hit solid ground within a nanosecond. Quickly, Sophie moved from Jack's form as the boy pulled the knife out and pressing his hand over where the wound was. No blood came from the wound. Jack's skin turned a deathly ill pale, his blue hoodie and pants turned black. His hair was the only thing that didn't change. He looked over at Sophie, his darkening blue eyes stared into hers.
Fear and guilt were consuming her once she realized what she'd done. "J-Jack?" she stuttered, getting freaked out by the way he was looking at her.
"Go ahead and scream. They won't hear you or care." He laughed, obviously no longer in pain.
"You're scaring me..." She told him, backing away.
"Good." He smirked, standing up with the knife in his hand. "You're joining as well, my love." The new dark Jack told him, lifting her chin up with the edge of the knife. "Don't worry...it only hurts a lot." And with that he brought the blade down, stabbing her heart. Her screams once again filling the morning air.
