Chapter 2
After I flew out of that cursed place, I flew right back to Ireland. I couldn't believe I had wasted three hours to try and get help. I shouldn't have bothered.
I finally reached home, a small hole at the end of the rainbow. No one can get here so it's one hundred percent safe. I dropped into the hole and examined my house.
It was small, about the size of an average human bedroom. There was a single bed, a table and a small bathroom. I flopped on the bed and thought about today.
That kangaroo of a rabbit had really pissed me off. Maybe that's why they wouldn't help me. But that's no reason! Then there was North. He seemed friendly. Pfft, never judge a book by it's cover. He was the first to turn me down. Tooth was the only girl there. What happened to that whole girl thingy! Annd Sandman. Not much to say (Ha! Get it? Cause he... Never mind)
And when I came out there was Jack Frost. Such an idiot. He can't turn down snow, he didn't know what a retard was... He's the retard.
I sighed and got of the bed. I took my Pouch of Golden Luck and tied it around my waste. I opened the roof and jumped up.
The first thing I noticed when I got up was the air. It was cold. A nipping, unpleasant cold. When I landed on the grass, I felt it crackle underneath me. I looked down and saw it was covered with frost. All the trees in the area had suddenly lost their leaves and I suddeny felt in danger. Then behind a tree, an old woman emerged.
Remember that I said that no one can get to my house. Well, no human can. So add that toether with the fact that the air was cold, only one conclusion could be pulled from this. Once I realised this, my knees buckled from underneath me and I fell to the ground. I felt weak.
The old woman smiled an evil grin. "Oh dear. You seem to have seen through my disguise. Oh no... Léim, what will I do with you..."
The atmosphere turned heavy and I was finding it hard to breathe. I manged to glare at the old woman and mutter something. "Show yarself, Síor..."
The old woman smirked. "Fine."
She put her hands to her ears and covered them. I quickly did the same. Then, she let out an ear-splitting scream and floated up into the air. Her old woman apperance faded and a new apperance came into play. Personally, I prefered the old woman.
She had long, bony fingers and long nails. Her hair turned long and white and flew out in all different directions. Her black rags turned into a long, grey gown that reached down passed her feet and covered her boney toes. Her face transformed into one of a beautiful young girl but her eyes were as grey and as cold as ice. They held no mercy. This was my sister, Síor, the Banshee.
She floated down and landed in front of me. I felt a sharp pain run through my body as she landed on the grass. I started to gasp for air as she came closer and closer.
Síor laughed at me. "Pitiful. Well, there isn't any competition to see who's the most powerful here. One of us is towering over the other."
I wanted to insult her but I couldn't use up the air. I was wheezing at this point.
Síor knelt down so that she was right in front of me. I couldn't even move. All I could do was whimper and wheeze.
"I presume you have seen the dreams. I have unleased one of the most deadly villians on your precious land. And those stupid guardians are none the wiser. All that's is going through their stupid brains is the fact that Christmas is on it's way. That's why my plan is flawless!"
Síor kicked me, so that my face was looking up at her and not down on the ground. That one little kick sent so much pain through my body that I screamed. Síor put her hand over my mouth. Imagine someone was stabbing you in the face. That's what it felt like. And she knew it.
"Speaking of the guardians, I believe you went to thme for help. How did that work out?"
She took her hand away from my mouth and the pain left. But Síor wasn't finished yet, oh no. She beckoned to someone from behind the bush. A tall, skinny man approached me, Síor behind him. I reconised him as the man from my dreams. Half of his face was covered in a shadow and he wore a dark robe. When he smiled, I saw thirty small, pointy teeth.
"You must be Léim. Your sister as told me a lot about you."
Just hearing his voice sent shivers down my spine. "B-boogey man... P-Pitch..." I managed to whisper.
He grinned, showing his pointy teeth. "My repuation precedes me, I see. Then you also know who I am to you."
I fel my vision fade. The lack of air was getting to me. I couldn't stay awake much longer. The last thing I heard was Síor's voice, "He's your brother..."
...
I woke up with a start. I was lying in the grass just outside my house. Everything came rushing back to me. Síor, my sister and the banshee. Pitch, the boogey-man and... my brother. I was related to the two people who were going to destroy the world.
I got up quickly. It was already night time. I looked up into the sky and something caught my eye. A trail of golden sand. I flew up to it.
As soon as I reached the sky, I put my hand into the river of sand. I watched as a dolphin sprung from it and circled around me. Little musical instruments played and I realised something.
This was the Sandman's sand. A guardian. And I can't stand up to Síor. So I'm going to have to crwal back their with my tail between my legs and, so help me, beg for help if I have to.
S'up! I know it's shorter than the last chapter but we're still only in the beginning. Another 2 or 3 chapters and things will get pretty cool, I promise. Peace! :)
