Chapter 4, things are about to kick into gear.
Bunnymund is the first to arrive, followed by Toothiana, then Sandy. If they're surprised to see me they don't show it. "Why'd ya call us mate?" The large rabbit looked the three of us over. "What happened North, why's the sheila 'ere?" I feel small in the face of the big five., even though I'm used to Jack, it's intimidating when they're all in the room. I try to stand my ground, North said I should stay, I belong here too, if only I really believed that.
"She one who brought problem to me. If not for her I vouldn't have noticed." North motions everyone to follow him, he leads us into the toy room and motions to the globe.
One light is flickering on and off, a light that has stood strong through everything, the only child who never gave up. "Jamie?" Jack is the first to move, he studies the light again and confirms it is, in fact, Jamie Bennett "We need to go see what's wrong!" Bunny opens up a tunnel and we all jump through, even North who screams the whole way.
We end up just outside the house, intense anger emanates from inside. Sophie is there, crying, and shouts can be heard from inside. I pull a bit of Sophie's sadness away, allowing her to notice us, well then, I'm not believed in by anyone, and I prefer it that way. I don't get my powers from believers as the Guardians do, like Pitch my powers are based on emotions, the more love the stronger my powers. I stand back and wait while Sophie greets everyone, she proceeds to explain what happened. "You need to help Jamie, he became angry, started yelling and throwing things. He's become someone else, he slapped our Mom! Somethings wrong with him!" She starts crying again, Tooth holds her patting her hair.
Jack turns to me and I already know what he's going to ask. "Can you help him?" I feel Jamie's anger, seeing how far into his heart it dwells, the heart once so pure is almost black as coal.
I shudder before answering "I can try, but I'll need my cherubs." He nods and I call out to my little helpers, my voice reaching their ears. "I need your help."
I'm too focused on calling the cherubs that I don't notice Sophie's staring at me, not until she reaches out and touches my hand. "So you're Cupid." I jump, not used to humans looking at me. "Jack told me you helped me before, can you help my brother?" I shoot a glare at Jack.
I take a deep breath, gaining all my focus "I'm going to try." I hope I sound convincing. I reach all my power out to Jamie, pulling the hatred from him, it's so intense I have to take a step back. I can feel the effects of so much rage take hold, my hands ball into fists, knuckles turning white. I can't hold back the snarl as I strain to grab more of the rage boiling inside Jamie. "We need to get away from here, you need to grab Jamie, NOW!" I'm yelling at them, and while I feel bad I can't apologize.I'm seeing red and want to hit something, so I punch the side of the house. Just when I feel like I can't hold back anymore the cherubs show up and start pulling away the hatred. My mind clears enough that I'm able to get everyone together and have them follow me, pulling a screaming Jamie, Tooth, Sandy, and Sophie stay behind to defuse the situation there.
On the outskirts of town, in the forest, I begin to pull more of the unnatural anger, this time I let the anger out, screaming as I take more and more. My vision goes fully red, I hear my blood pulsing in my ears. I keep pulling more and more until I black out, then all I feel is cold, all I hear is silence. The peace en raps me and I allow myself to sub come to the darkness.
3rd Person Point of View
Jack, Bunny, and North struggle to keep Jamie in place without harming him. It becomes easier as Ella starts to scream angrily. Jack releases Jamie and stands next to Ella, ready to help however he can. It hurts him to see her this way, especially when he asked her to do this. He watches as Jamie calms fully and Ella turns red with anger. Her pink hair paled by her red face, purple eyes hard with rage.
Suddenly the screaming stops, the forest is silent, then Ella falls, features turning back to normal. Jack catches her, sighing. "Thank you, Ella, now rest." Jamie looks around confused, seeing Jack talk to no one.
"Cupid mate, she saved you." Bunnymund explains what just went down, Jamie looks at the girl in Jack's arms. She's young, not much older than himself. Her pink hair hanging just past her shoulders. She looks peaceful like she'd fallen asleep. "We should get back to the ankle biter." The others agree and they make their way back.
Sandy and Tooth had finished what they could, putting the Bennetts' to sleep and using their memories to make them more at peace, reminding them of what it means to be a family. Sandy's the first to see the others arrive, he waves and points at the oncoming Guardians. "Oh look, Sandy, the others are back!" Tooth points them out, earning a frown from Sandy. "Oh no, something's wrong." Tooth flies to Jack and takes Ella, bringing her to the ground where Sandy makes a bed of sand.
The golden man studies her for a moment and relaxes. He signs to the others letting them know she's just asleep from using her powers too much. They all relax and focus on the next problem. How did Jamie get infected with so much anger?
This is it for now, hope you like it!
