hello! so new chapter! im thinking... maybe three more chapters? two more? nah, three more. yeah. or four more?
"So… I never did catch your name. What was it?"
"Oh." I flushed with embarrassment. How could I forget something that important? "My name is Celestie."
"Celestie? Thats such a pretty name."
"Thank you." I used my hand to cover my blush, but I guess he noticed because he smiled at me.
Finally, after quite some time, we landed.
"Why we're we flying for so long?" I asked.
"I was looking for something." He ran over to something buried in the snow. "Here."
"what were you looking for?" I said as I walked over to where he stood.
"A flower." He said, digging in the snow.
"A flower?" I spread my arms, gesturing to the snow around us, going on for miles and miles. "We are in the middle of a snowy mountain region. I doubt you will find a flower here."
He looked at me. "Have you ever even seen a flower?"
I shifted my feet. "I've seen pictures."
"Then how would you know that flowers don't grow up here? There are many flowers in the world. Not every flower looks like the one if your book."
"Well I read a lot about flowers, and I know that they cannot survive in these type of temperatures-"
He interrupted me by saying "here!" He looked back at me. "You wanna see a flower? He had a sly smile on his face.
"Theres no way-" I stopped. "Oh" I gasped.
Sitting there in the snow was a reddish-purple flower. It's stem was the prettiest green I had ever seen. it had delicate leaves and petals, and the petals almost seemed to glow a pink color, with little yellow lights rising from it then disappearing. It was just sitting there, in a little patch of soil, with not a bit of snow around it. "Thats so beautiful," I whispered. Jack just smiled, seeing my reaction. Then he bent down. "We need to pluck it."
"What? Why?" I asked, shocked. "Wouldn't it die?"
Jack laughed. "Nope. This is a magic flower. It was planted by the one and only easter bunny." He pulled it out, And I jumped as a hole Popped out. Jack laughed after seeing my reaction. He then gave me the flower. "Here. Its yours."
What? "Are you sure?"
"yeah." he laughed. "I have no use for a flower anyway. It's just gonna get in the way when i'm traveling."
"you travel?"
"Well, migrate is more like it. I travel with the north wind. I just travel to where it snows."
"Oh."
I looked down at the flower in my hands. I don't know why, but it seems to be glowing… brighter? Maybe its just my imagination.
"Anyway, lets go! are you coming?"
"what?"
He looked at me curiously. "We're jumping down the hole!"
"WHAT? why?"
"To see the easter bunny, of course!" He grabbed by hand, jumping down into the hole. Naturally, I got dragged with him.
It was like a dirt slide, with little holes randomly placed inside the tunnel. It was super bumpy, with all sorts of twists and turns. I just held my breath, but Jack was whooping as we flew along. He made sure I kept a tight grip on his hand.
When we finally fell through a hole, I made sure the flower in my hand was not squashed. I brushed the dirt off my coat the best I could with one hand. Then I looked around, and saw that we were in a very green place, with bright green grass and a lot of flowers. there were all sorts of trees, and I never seen most of them before. There were strange, feathered creatures that were colorful and made pretty chirping noises. The sky was a bright blue color, and i've never seen the sky that didn't have snow clouds. Suddenly, these huge, stone eggs popped out of the ground, making my shriek. They had angry faces, but after Jack stood in front of my, their heads spun around and on the other side were smily faces.
"can they… see us?" I asked.
"I'm not sure. probably."
"Oh. Its you." A large, human sized rabbit was walking on his back paws. It was grey, with strange patterns on his head. He had a Boomerang case on his back. "I hope you're not causing trouble again." He looked at me, seeming to see me for the first time. "Oi, who's your friend here?"
He was speaking in a strange accent.
"Jack, he's talking. Rabbits shouldn't talk."
"Celestie, This is the easter kangaroo. Kangaroo, this is Celestie."
"Kang-"
I was interrupted. "Oi, snow freak, I AM NOT A KANGAROO. I am a BUNNY. The EASTER BUNNY. You got that?" He pulled out his boomerang and threw it at Jack. He just dodged it, then on its way back he caught it, throwing it at the bunny, who caught it before it made the loop.
"This is no way to introduce a guest, snow freak." He turned around facing me. " Why hello there… Celestie, was it? What are you doing here?"
"Uh…" I was at a loss for words. "Jack brought me here."
"Hey! don't act like i'm the kidnapper!" He then turned to the rabbit. "She needs to find her center."
"Oh! is she like us, then?" He turned to me. "What are you?"
"um… I'm a dragon." He looked surprised.
"A dragon! thats pretty cool. and judging by your hair, I take it… A snow dragon?"
"em… yes."
"oi, thats awesome. Can you like, breath fire? In your human form?"
"No. I can breath frost though." I blew out air, and it instantly froze the air particles, making a small snow cloud. With a little more moisture it would start snowing.
"Oi, thats incredible!"
"hey, thats amazing!"
Jack and the Rabbit looked at each other. I giggled. Then the rabbit said: "oi, what've you got in your hand?"
"Its a flower." I showed him. "But it seems to be dying."
"well, of course. We need a better place to put it." He dog-whistled, Then waited for a few minutes. Suddenly, a small egg with legs came running in through one of the tunnels. It had a snowflake pattern around the middle, with a blue stripe behind the snow flakes. "How does it have legs?" I asked.
"I'm not sure myself." He picked it up, breaking the top of it with his finger, taking whatever was inside the egg out, then bending down and filling the egg up with soil, then taking the flower from my hands and putting the flower in. "there" He handed the flower in the egg back to me.
Taking it, I saw that the flower instantly un-withered and started glowing again, with the little lights again rising from the flower. The egg stood up in my hands.
"Now, if you accidentally drop it, it will land by itself." He smiled. "isn't that good?"
"yes." I was speechless. "thank you."
"you're welcome." He stepped and clapped his hands once. "Now, would you like to help me prepare for easter?"
four more. probably. chapter 3/4 is going to be kinda short, but not really.
