Rated T for cursing and very very very mild action. :) In other words, no rated T action XD... For now. O.o :p
I let North guide us to our destination- even if I don't know which is our destination. Does he know where they are at now? North takes a hallway and Bunnymund starts groaning,"Not the sleigh! I can go through my holes, where are we going anyways?"
"We are going to the sleigh, Bunny. We aren't sure about where he is exactly and The Quinque-" North begins.
"Quinque?" Tooth asks,"Them?! We are fighting against them?!"
"What's quinque?" I ask.
"Quinque is a word from Latin meaning Five." North says and turns to Tooth,"Yes."
Tooth looks like she is about to faint, but I don't know anything about them. I look at Jack and his face is as doubtful as mine.
North looks at Bunny and we all do. His face is unreadable. I don't know if he was mad, shocked, disappointed, somehow- happy, or sad- I think it's a mixture of all of them.
Bunny nods,"Okay." His voice sounded so hollow. What did The Quinque do? To the guardians?
Sandman flies to Bunny and places a small hand on Bunny's shoulder and he shrugs it off,"Im fine Sandman, okay?"
Sandman flies back, shocked at his sudden change of mood.
North starts to walk fast again and we reach the sleigh. It looked the same way as forty five years ago since I last saw it.
Jack flies on board and I follow with Tooth and Sandman. Bunnymund hops in last with North starting it. The way out was very unusually quiet even if Jack and I laughed and cheered at the hoops the sleigh went through, but when no one else joined we stopped.
"What a nice way to bring the latest guardians in a mood." Jack whispers to me."It's your first day."
I giggle and whisper back,"Do know who they are... The Quinque? The Five?"
Jack shakes his head."Donut."
"Did you just say donut?" I ask quietly.
Jack laughed,"Im hungry."
I start to laugh, but when I look to my side to the others and notice they have a serious face, I stop. Jack seems to stop too.
When we are flying on top of the forest, I feel Jack tense up all of a sudden beside me. Before I can ask what he felt, I feel the same wind as earlier.
"Wait. I feel-" Jack begins, but before he can finish, the sky goes black and the sleigh tumbles down into the forest.
*****Page Break*****
My eyes open, but all I see is a gray sky and a cold wind roaming through the tall pine trees covered with snow. I look around me and see I'm in the sleigh which crashed into a tree. The guardians weren't in the sleigh. As I begin to fly up, I feel my ankle hurting a lot. Great. I broke my ankle. I look at the driver's seat and see Jack sleeping on it.
"Jack. Jack. Jack!" I hiss shaking him.
His eyes flew open and looks up at me, but not exactly at me,"Oh damn it. The sky is gray. It wasn't a dream."
"Hurry up and wake up or I'm going to become your nightmare." I spat."What happened?"
He sits up rubbing his forehead,"I dunno. The sleigh went down, I hit my head and I don't remember anything."
"Well it seems we landed hard. I think I broke my ankle." I say flying up and look around,"Oh no. Where's my staff?"
"Oh shi- North took them away. We forgot to ask for them." Jack reminds.
I groan. How can I forget my staff?"Well, we got to find the others."
Jack nods,"I have to walk. The wind is not responding to me and my staff helps me too if it was here."
I nod,"Okay." I start to fly close to the ground,"You go over there and I go over here. See if we find one of the guardians."
"What if something happens?" Jack asks smirking.
"What would you do?" I ask.
"Scream?" he suggests.
"Then do that." I smile flying away. I fly through trees looking for fur, red, gold dust, or colorful wings, but I can't find anything. I fly more and see a person walking.
"Jack is that you? Bunny? North?" I ask to him, but the figure doesn't answer. It disappears. Oh great. I fly near it, but I can't find it, it completely disappeared. I'm about to fly some more when I hear a loud painful scream.
"Jack!" I cry, flying back quickly, but I crash into something big. I fall on the ground and look up seeing it wasn't a tree or Jack or anything I expected. It was a teenage boy about eighteen. He had black shaggy hair with strange white eyes that weren't creepy or horrifying, they were mysterious and enchanting. He wore dark clothes and had a small number on his neck which was seven. He had a strong body and was tall. I blink twice before I can realize he was real.
He smiles and offers his hand to me,"Nature, aren't you?"
I take it and stand up,"Um hi. As much as I want to stay, I need to get my friend who is in trouble." I hear Jack's scream again and I begin to fly.
The boy stops me and I get mad and look to his white eyes.
"Nope. You're not going to help him." he tells me with a smirk.
"What?! Let me go!" I shriek flying up, but I realize he flies when he blocks my way. I fly to different directions, but he flies there stopping me every time.
"What's with you, jerk?!" I scream, pushing him."My friend is screaming can't you hear?!"
I hear his scream once again and the yell of my voice and then a real painful cry. My eyes begin to water. I need to help him. I can't hear him being hurt for one more second.
"Yes, I can and if you move you'll be screaming even louder." he tells me grabbing my wrists. I scream in fury and kick him in the guts and start to fly towards Jack. The boy grabs me by my bruised ankle and I yelp at the pain.
"You just won't give up, Nature. What's wrong with Jack? Is he your boyfriend?" he says.
"He is my friend. Can't you understand that you worthless, emotionless idiot?!" I spat.
"Let her go. Let her come to Jack."
I freeze at the sound of the sudden voice. Pitch. The boy lets go and I zip through the trees and see Jack on the floor not too far away from the sleigh, trembling and weeping. I can see scratches and bruises on him already.
"Jack!" I cry falling beside him. I drag his head to my lap , ignoring the throbbing pain from my ankle, and brush his white hair out of his face,"Jack. Say something. What happened?"
His light blue eyes look at me and says,"Pitch."
I grab his hand,"Everything will be alright, okay?"
He nods and tries to sit up,"I know. But Nature, Pitch came here, haunted me with his nightmares, harmed me-"
"Hello Mother Nature."
Both of our heads turn up front where we see a tall and thin figure with gray skin and black hair which only can be known as The Bogeyman.
"Hello Pitch." I spat.
"How are you doing? My friends and I were talking to Tooth a few minutes before you two woke up and told us you were a guardian now, congrats Nature." he says.
"Tooth?" I ask,"What did-"
"Nothing, Nature. Just sent her to sleep, like we did with North, Bunnymund, and Sandman. And what I was doing with Jack, but you were too desperate to get to him, we felt pity for you." Pitch says.
I see at the corner of my eye, Jack looking at me and giving me a smirk. I nudge him to stop it.
"Who are 'we'?" I ask.
"I thought you never asked." Pitch says and I feel the cold wind again, Jack feels it too as he tenses up again.
A man with a deadly look on his face comes. He has a number three on his neck.
"This is Death." Pitch says.
A girl my age comes with red hair and tattoos all over her walks besides Pitch.
"She is Malice."
Another girl about Tooth's age with ash blonde hair appears with a black long dress.
"Hatred."
The same boy I saw earlier flies to us and smiles,"Hi Nature."
"His name is Chaos."
A young man flies besides Pitch. I look closer and see he is cleaning his teeth with a colorful feather. I gasp as I notice its Tooth's.
"And last but not least Crime. The remaining evil immortals in a group calling themselves The Quinque or The Five."
"We used to have more, but sadly they don't want to be in a group anymore... Or take over the world as we are going to accomplish." Death states.
"The Five." Jack whispers.
Pitch smiles,"Exactly. And you can't do anything guardians. I'm going to start killing the guardians, starting with Jack Frost and Mother Nature. How does that sound?"
"You'll have to kill me first, Pitch." a female voice says from behind me.
"Tooth." I smile looking at her. She is scratched a bit in her face, but not much as Jack. As soon as I look back I see Bunnymund hop on one foot. He probably broke a leg. Sandman flies behind him with a frown on his face.
"Hey there mates! Need help?" Bunnymund smiles.
"Bunny?" one of The Five asks and I realize it was Hatred.
Bunnymund frowns at her and then turns to me,"Your staff."
He gives me my staff and I use it to stand up and help Jack up the way he helped me back at my tree. He smiles remembering and grasps my staff, standing up himself.
"Where's North?" Jack whispers to Tooth.
Tooth is about to answer when Pitch claps,"Bravo! The guardians are together. Too bad you are one short. But it doesn't matter if you are a thousand, you'll still lose, isn't that right, Sandy? Very well. Five, destroy them."
Pitch stands back and each of the Five comes to each one of us.
"Nature! Take care of Jack!" Bunnymund shouts grabbing Crime who was going towards Jack and punches him,"Run!"
I grab Jack and fly through the trees. When I think I'm far away I reach the ground and let Jack rest on the soft snowy ground.
"Stay here, I got to help them." I tell Jack.
Before I leave, a figure lands besides Jack and says,"But if you leave Jack alone, I'll have to hurt him, so you have to fight me off first, for your little boyfriend."
I look at the figure and saw that it was Chaos,"Oh you again. And Jack isn't my boyfriend. He is Tooth's."
"What?! No! We don't like each other! I'm single!" Jack tells me.
"I don't care of your love status now, Jack." I grit."This guy wants to kill you and I have to do your dirty work."
Chaos laughs,"Men. They treat women like they are slaves. What a pity right?"
"Shut up." I say,"Leave him alone, will you? Jack is hurt can't you see."
Chaos smirks and throws a stick to my feet which makes me wince because of my ankle,"You too are hurt."
"Then lets take this up there if you can fly." I say flying up.
"Challenge accepted." Chaos jokes flying up too.
"Are you even evil or are you tagging along with Pitch just because you're bored?" I ask.
"Both." he smiles and throws a black shadow at me, but I quickly dodge it with my staff. I summon two trees and their branches slither up tying up Chaos in a tree-like cage.
Chaos shouts and the trees break into a thousand pieces. He smiles throwing shadows at me,"You know? I found you very interesting when Pitch was talking about the guardians earlier with us at his lair."
I dodge them,"What do you mean?"
He breaks a branch and throws it at me and I fly up and he misses,"Well, he was talking about weaknesses, you guys' powers, your mortal life."
"Mortal life." I whisper stopping for a second.
"When he talked about you, I felt like I knew you, Nature." he explains.
"What? I've never seen you in my life before." I hiss.
"No, what I mean is that I felt empathy for you, Nat."
"Don't start making cute nicknames for me, Chaos. How can you feel empathy? You just met me. You don't know anything about me."
"You are wrong, Nat. I know everything. Pitch told me everything. Who you were. Where you live. How you died. Your center. What is your center, Nat?"
I take a moment,"I-I. I don't know. I don't need to know it."
"I know it." he says getting close,"And it's a great center, but it can also be very bad. I suggest you look over it again and realize what it is. It might help you find out who you really are."
"Who I really am? Are you playing mind games with me?" I ask.
"No. I'm just telling a warning, advice, a suggestion. It's a very very interesting center, take it from me, the witty strange boy who everyone doubts if he is evil or good." he says spreading his arms as he described himself.
"Who are you-" I ask, my eyebrows creasing."Who are you to tell me these things?"
He smiles and looks to the direction where we left the guardians, then at me,"Do you even remember your mortal life?"
I don't answer and he laughs,"Of course. You are a very enchanting gal, you know?"
He looks again at the spot where the guardians are fighting, I follow his gaze and see nothing but just the spread of snow covered pine trees. When I look back at him, I notice he is gone.
*****Page Break*****
"What happened up there?" Jack asks when I go down and we fly back to the other guardians.
"Nothing, just fighting." I say.
"Weird. At first I only heard sounds of fighting, but then it stopped. Did you kick his ass good?" Jack asks.
I laugh and then realize that Chaos and I started to talk and stopped fighting. Wasn't his orders to destroy me and Jack?
"I guess you did. You're a great addition to the team, Natty. I probably didn't tell you congratulations yet. I'm sorry about earlier anyways."
I smile,"You mean the outburst?"
"Yeah." he smiles back.
"Well I'm sorry for calling you a piece of shit and telling you I'm going to yank your hair out and melt you."
He laughs,"And I'm sorry for calling you a bitch and saying I was going to freeze you. Truce?"
"Sure." I say.
As we arrive at the guardians, I notice North was back and all of them were in a circle around something.
"How do we tell frostbite?" I hear Bunnymund asks.
"Ahem." Jack clear his throat.
All of them turn around and smile nervously. In Tooth's hand there is a pile of wood. I try to not to laugh, but Jack doesn't seem to notice it.
"Where did they go?" I ask.
"They disappeared. But we can't track them, unfortunately. We have to wait for next time. We have to be ready." North declares.
All of us nod in agreement, the sky begins to clear and the wind stopped a few minutes ago.
After a long moment Jack speaks up,"Have you seen my staff?"
Tooth flies forward and shows the pile,"Hatred did this."
Jack smiles,"I can stick it together."
"Remember last time Jack tried to do a puzzle?" Bunny whispers to Sandman and they both laugh, but Sandy's laugh is inaudible.
Jack frowns,"I can fix this."
Tooth looks at me and she frowns in confusion,"Whats wrong Nature?"
Tooth nears me and I watch as the boys begin to fight and North and Sandy are trying to separate them. I smile and look back at her,"Can you do me a little favor, Tooth?"
