Chapter 4

Jack's POV

I watched Katherine, concerned. Did she realize her eyes were now grey? I'm not sure that's good thing…

"Katherine…" I said softly, afraid of scaring her, "What happened to you?"

Katherine closed her eyes and took a deep breath. When she opened her eyes again, they were emerald green. "Well… When I was little, I used to come inside and compliment my mom on how good dinner smelled…"

That doesn't seem too odd…

"Before she had cooked it. I could hear butterflies wings and see things that hadn't happened yet. I healed from injuries fast, too fast. If I got a cut on the playground, you would blink and it'd be gone. I didn't think it was weird. I thought everyone could do that."

I felt a shock of surprise. Not exactly what I had expected. Katherine stared at me, gauging my reaction. Then she continued, "The government found out because, well, they are the government, they were bound to find out eventually. But they found out when I was only five…" Katherine gulped.

"They took me away to Area 51. They tortured me. Manipulated images and thing s to see if I could find the difference. Whipped me to see if I would heal. I did. No physical scars at all. I finally got out, though I'm not quite sure how. I had been held there for 10 years. My parents had gone insane by the time I came home. They were so angry… so angry that I was already 15 and they had lost me that… that they knocked over a candle in the house. I got out and they said they didn't want to." Tears welled up in Katherine's eyes.

Katherine's POV

I waited for him to do something. Scream, laugh, shout, leave, anything. Though I didn't expect him crush me in a hug. Yup. Did NOT see that coming. I have haphephobia because of the Area 51 thing, so… I may have punched him. He didn't let go though.

He pulled back and gave me a lopsided grin. "Let's go to the Pole. North might be able to get Sandy and he could cure your nightmares."

I blinked. "Um… What?"

He grinned wider. "We're going on a fieldtrip, princess."

Oh crap.

-(0)-(0)-(0)-(0)-(0)-(0)-(0)-(0)-(0)-(0)-(0)-(0)-

I screamed as we shot through the air. I clung to Jack tighter. Holy cow, how is a three-year-old more ok with this than I am?! Not cool, bro! And Jamie is just like ' #$* yes!' but don't worry- he didn't really say that. We flew further and further north, and my death grip relaxed to a regular grip.

No it didn't.

I think I just died 'Again!' Doctor Dearie exclaims. 'My, my. We've been very busy, haven't we?'

I picked out a small glimmer in front of us, about two hundred miles ahead of us. It was steadily growing clearer. I could pick out beautiful woodwork and ice sculptures and- crap. No looking through walls.

X-Ray vision does have its cons, people.

I smelled the air and caught a whiff of chocolate chip.

Yum! Cookies! Fresh out of the oven, too!

Jack picked up speed and we busted through an –OPEN- window. No worries. "Welcome to the North Pole." Jack purred in my ear. After we touched down, Jack still had his arm wrapped around my shoulders. I craned my neck, noticing a small crack the size of a thimble in the chimney that was steadily increasing in size. That could be a problem later on, maybe tonight. The crack runs deep and the chimney will probably fall off. I heard a crashing noise and my head automatically swiveled.

As we walked into the Pole, the yetis smiled at me and the elves randomly ran up and hugged me symmetrically. Guess they feel bad I got stuck with Jack. Once we reached the 'Globe Room' I picked up a strange scent. "Is there a *sniff*… rabbit in here?" I questioned.

Jack snorted, "There will be soon, princess."

Just then, a rabbit hole opened and a freaking huge Kangaroo with odd markings hops out.

…We're thirteen floors above ground level.

Whatever happened to physics?!

Sophie ran up and hugged the Kangaroo dude. " 'Ello, lil anklebita."He glanced up and saw me. " 'Ello Sheila. I'm Bunny." He stuck out his hand. I shook it and said, "Katherine Caster."

Sophie squealed, "Kitty!"

Jamie piped up, "Kate."

"Kit-Kat!"

"Kat."

"Kit! Kit-Kit!"

I laughed, "Yeah, I was dubbed with a lot of… odd… nicknames. Any'll work. But, I must say- nice boomerangs. Also, are you sure you aren't a Kangaroo? Albeit a large Kangaroo, but a Kangaroo nonetheless." I beamed at him, earning an explosion of laughter from Jack.

"That's –laugh- what I –laugh- say!"

I chuckled softly and alighted on the railing, ignoring the fact that if I fell I'd just be a stain on the already red carpet. Already red in the area, actual- aw crap.

I hopped off the railing faster than a jackrabbit (haha. Get it? Bunny joke) and walked over to jack. I sincerely hope that it's just a odd design or something…

"Welcome Jack and girlfriend!" an unfamiliar voice boomed.

I whipped around and saw a large, intimidating man dressed all in red standing next to 'Bunny'. Yeah right. The dude's a freaking giant!

"Um… we're not…" jack stammered and glanced over at me. I finished, "…a thing."

North laughed heartily. "So sorry. What is name?"

"Ah, I'm Katherine Caster." I saw his eyes widen slightly and he said, "Well, why don't you, Jamie, Sophie, and Bunny go on tour? Yetis will lead."

Jack's POV

North dragged me to the same room he had showed me his center doll thing. Which was weird. Anyways, he closed the doors and we stared at Katherine as she walked around the Globe Room.

"Jack. Katherine Caster is dead."

Woah!

Review and prove your Loyalty!
