(Jack)

I led (y/n) into the small library that was at the back of the workshop and pulled out a book of the Guardians. I brought it back to a small table where (y/n) had decided to sit and I laid it there.

"So, this is going to show me the Halloween Guardian?" (y/n) asked, propping her elbows on the table and leaning closer to me.

I swallowed at our closeness and opened the book to the page with the Halloween Guardian on it, "yeah. Look, she looks just like you." I said pointing at a girl who bared an uncanny resemblance to (y/n).

"And, what does it take to become a Guardian?" (Y/n) asked with a small smile.

I looked down guiltily, "well, death I suppose."

"Death!?" (Y/n) shrieked.

I nodded. "You don't have to become a Guardian but–"

"Oh don't worry," (y/n) said with a frown, "I won't."

I smiled. Of course she wouldn't want to die. I didn't want to die either, but it happened.

"Can I, um, still travel with you?" (Y/n) asked, rubbing her arm and avoiding my gaze.

"Yeah, totally." I said with a smile.

"And, death. It's a choice right? It's not in the 'prophecy,' that I'm going to die. It doesn't have to be me that turns into the Halloween Guardian is it?" (y/n) asked, running her hands along the book with trepidation.

"I don't know, you'd have to ask North." I said with a small shrug.

Silence drifted between us. Heart aching, mind shattering, silence. I only stared at (y/n). I've been alive for a long time, and I've seen some very beautiful girls, but I think (y/n) is a rare beauty. With her flawless (s/c) skin and big (e/c) eyes, she looks gorgeous.

"Jack. Please don't take me back to that wretched house. It's torture living there." (Y/n) complained.

I nodded, "no of course not. I wouldn't want anything that makes you unhappy."

Don't get too attached to her. I reminded myself, she's already decided that she doesn't want to be immortal. If you fall for her, you might suffer total heart-break when she dies. Because all humans wither away.

"Um, since I'm not going back. Can I go tell Jaime? Just, that I'm not staying is all." (Y/n) said with a small smile.

I nodded and offered my hand for her to take. She promptly took it and I flew her all the way back to Jaime's house. (y/n) smiled gratefully and went up to Jaime's door, knocking a few times before Jaime's mom opened the door and smiled kindly at (y/n).

"Ah, (y/n). Are you looking for Jaime?"

"Yes ma'am." (Y/n) replied with a small nod.

"He went to the park, dear. You'll find him there."

We said bye to Jaime's mother and went to the park. (y/n) gasped, there were no kids, nothing. It was deserted and Jaime was nowhere to be found.

"Where," (y/n) said glancing around frantically, "where is he?" She shrieked.

I flew all over the park and finally found Jaime in a hole in a tree.

"Jaime," I sighed, "what are you doing here?" I asked.

Jaime hissed me to shush and pointed to the ground. I gritted my teeth. There was black dust, and that could only belong to one person. Pitch.

"(Y/n)!" I called out.

She looked up and smiled, running over to Jaime and I.

"Oh you found him!"

"Yes, it looks like he has indeed. Hello again, Frost." An all too familiar voice hissed from behind us.

(y/n) and I whirled around. I loosed a low growl and put (y/n) behind me.

"Pitch."

OK, I know that it is short and I am so sorry! But I am uber busy (btw, I am sorry I forgot to update yesterday, I got a bit caught up in Doctor Who :D) Anyway, I'll continue when I have 30 comments! Thanks~

HAPPY NEW YEAR'S!
