Chapter 3: Meet
I'm baaaack! Hopefully this chapter will entertain you all... Or maybe not, but hopefully so. Anyway, happy reading!
Jack p.o.v
The wind dropped us off in my castle. A beautiful building made of tempered ice and compact snow. We were in the courtyard at the moment and my child was looking all around her in such wonder that it would have made North proud. I took her to my living room and snapped my fingers. The lights and an ice blue fire turned on, revealing wooden floors, Persian carpets and seven armchairs gathered round the fire. I sat down and motioned for Elsa to do the same. "So, I'm guessing you have some questions?" And with those words I started the inquisition.
"Who's my mother?"
"I am."
"WHAT?"
"I gave birth to you, making me your mother." Silence. I squirmed in my seat as she looked at me. After a few moments she regained her composure.
"Ok, then who's my father."
"I can only tell you if you promise not to tell him because he doesn't know and is rather he not know."
"How can he not know!" Hahaha, this was going to be awkward.
"He was drunk and I managed to get him to admit that he liked me, but then he sort of pushed me down-before you say anything it wasn't rape, I wanted him to- but the morning after he didn't remember anything and I left it that way." I was nearly crying. No, this wouldn't do at all. I put on a smile and asked her if she really, really wanted to know. A nod. "Ok" a deep breath, and another, a quick scan to check if anyone was in hearing distance and I spoke the name. "E. Aster Bunnymund" I expected shock or disgust but she just nodded and asked her next question. I have a feeling that all the crazy was making her immune.
"Why did you abandon me?"
"I did not abandon you! Pitch made me leave you in Erendel with my close friends who were murdered by him, but before they died they left you at the door of the palace. The royals took you in and raised you, but don't think for one second that I willingly left you there on your own. I wasn't experienced enough, I could barely control a flurry, much less the power needed to defeat Pitch Black. But now that you're here don't ever say that I abandoned you because, my child, you are the one thing that matters." I finished, trailing into an awkward silence.
"Sooooo~ how has your life been?" As soon as I asked I knew it wasn't the right question. Her eyes glazed over with tears and she broke down. I'm guessing that being a queen didn't give one the opportunity to cry very often, but then again I should know.
"I nearly killed my sister." She sobbed. "I nearly killed her because I couldn't keep my powers in check! What should I do if this happens again!? I've been lucky for the past year but I just can't anymore!" Oh my poor baby. I rubbed her back as she cried, humming a song Sandy taught me.
"Don't worry, I can help you. You took it from me, that enormous power that needs an outlet no matter the situation. We can get you an inhibitor if you want?" She nodded and the gasped, scrambling out of my lap.
"Oh my God I am so sorry! Are you hurting anywhere?" Then I remembered my shoulder and toes were supposed to be injured.
"Oh these things? They healed the moment I stepped foot here."
"Then why didn't you come here sooner!?" She sounded kind of angry.
"Because North can't be talked out of something and the workshop is as hard to escape as it is to infiltrate." I jumped up and took her hand, leading her through several corridors and finally stopping at a for made of frosted ice, more than six inches thick. It opened with a snap of my fingers and we stepped through. The room was filled with items imbedded with my magic, and on a shelf at the back were the empty inhibitors. Elsa looked around while I explained the pros and cons of each item. We finally narrowed it down to three; a silk choker with a teardrop hawk's eye gem; a sceptre made of my ice with a storm trapped in a gem (A/N: like maleficent's staff but smoother); and lastly was a dagger, it had a steel blade and an onyx handle wrapped in white. After half an hour of arguing which one was better, we decided on the choker because Elsa didn't know how to use a staff or dagger in combat and they would just get in her way. I tied it around her throat and whispered a protection charm into the stone. A translucent hawk made out of stardust flew out of the gem. Elsa laughed as it landed on her shoulder and its golden head bumped her cheek.
"Seems like he likes you. Now, why don't we-" there was a huge bang and the alarms sounded.
"Fucking North, bringing his god damned sleigh everywhere. I hope for his sake that he didn't break anything, but knowing him he probably did." I muttered while flying to the courtyard, Elsa at my heels.
3rd person p.o.v
In that moment, the guardians were being surrounded by every manner of ice, water and wind spirit. Very angry and territorial spirits. Things weren't looking good for them as they shivered and with weapons drawn they tried to look menacing. It didn't work very well. Just as an ice sprite was about to launch herself at North, Jack's voice echoed in the courtyard.
"STAND DOWN!" He yelled, not wanting his two families to start killing each other. The two factions slowly lower their weapons but kept wary eyes on one another. Jack sighed and after taking a few breaths to calm himself down, he turned around to welcome the guardians. Well that had been the plan, the North decided that a spirit was looking at him funny and therefore needed a good shaking. Jack's self-control left the building and went to Hawaii. He flew right into North's face, absolutely livid.
"What do you think you're doing? I thought I told you to stand down!" His voice was icy, but North being North ignored all of the signs and opened his big mouth.
"Child, sprite was looking at me as if he want to hurt me." Short bursts of laughter tinkled from Jack's lips.
"Me? A child? Oh, you really don't know, do you?" More laughter. "Well, this I going to be fun."
Bunny p.o.v
"Well, this is going to be fun."
Shivers ran down my spine as Jack stared down North. I couldn't help feeling both scared and in awe of him, standing up to a man three times his size.
"I am no child as you seem to believe. The only ones here older than me are Sandy and Bunny and then only by two millennia." Gasps sounded from the big four, the 'boy' in front of them was nearly older than the earth itself. "I would show you my other form, the one most of you know me by, but then that would scare my baby and we can't have that. So when I tell you to stand down, YOU STAND DOWN! Am I making myself clear?"
We nodded our heads. Jack backed off and North dropped to his knees.
"Now follow me, please. The rest of you, get back to work! And Boreas! Call the council!"
Soooooo... Really sorry about it being this late. Yes I am alive, hope you liked it and let me know because I'm really paranoid about this being good or not.
Anyway, see ya
