Xexilia was sitting on the window sill looking through the glass. It was snowing. She was glad enough that she was inside a warm room with a fireplace. She had just recently found this room minutes after the incident she had with Jack. She rested her chin against her hands, but a knock on the door interrupted her.
"Come in." she said casually, while she turned round.
A strange half humming bird-half human with violet eyes and wings appeared to her. It appeared to be carrying a small loose white dress. Xexilia gave a wide eyed expression at the creature.
"Hey, sorry if I'm disturbing you," the creature said, "My name's Toothiana, but you can call me Tooth. I'm the Tooth Fairy by the way." The fairy introduced her cheerily with a wink while fluttering towards Xexilia.
"Well…nice dress." I said trying to strike a conversation.
"Oh this?" she replied, holding up the dress with her two hands,"This is yours. You know North? He explained some few things and he said it would be nice if I accompany you for a bit. I brought the dress with me in case if you feel a bit uncomfortable in the dress." Tooth clearly explained.
"Oh, well I'm glad that someone's an expert in how I feel," she smiled gratefully, "I'm Xexilia. I'm the girl Jack kidnapped."
The Fairies lip quivered slightly and so did her bubbly facial expression. "Oh…well anyways, let me help you with this dress on, I hope you'll like it, my Fairy companions made them." She answered, trying to hide her sad face.
"Wow, this actually feels quite comfortable" I said, as I spun around in the white dress.
"Can I just talk to you about something?" the fairy said, crossing her arms putting a serious, but mild face on.
"Uh, yeah sure." I replied trying to stop twirling round.
"Jack was really upset a few minutes ago. I saw him with North." She said trying hard not to glare or give me any shivers.
"Well, that's what he gets if he tries to flirt with me." I sighed. Could this get any worse?
"Oh…he was flirting?" the fairy's eye tone burned a bright violet showing an emotion of jealousy," But anyways, he's still new as a guardian, and we don't want to make his job a living hell do we?" a small part of me said that she wanted me to say sorry to Jack. Well she's definitely good at that isn't she? Making me feel all guilty.
"Fine, I'll go say sorry, but I swear, if he does it again, I will literally kick him. And I mean somewhere painful." I answered, while leaving the room in order to find Jack.
It didn't seem right for me to say sorry. Maybe it was because half of me was becoming like Pitch? Ever since I partially signed that contract, I feel like nothings right. I just feel so aggressive and angry at everyone it's like I don't know who I am anymore. But isn't this worth it? Being locked up for 10 years without being able to see, then receiving this deal to pay it all back? Just casually walking through the never ending corridors, I see Jack with two other spirit beings…I think. One looks like a giant bunny with a boomerang in his hand, and another which looks like a little chubby golden man. I hide behind a corner to see what's going on. It's an argument. I could tell since the plump little man tried to separate the two from actually touching one another.
"Look Jack, you're a Guardian now, you can't just go and make mistakes like that." the rabbit said putting his paws on his hips.
"Shut up kangaroo. It's none of your business to interfere." Jack snapped back.
The little man let his jaw drop.
"Excuse me? Did you just call me what I think you called me?" the bunny growled as he tightened his grip around the boomerang he was holding. The golden man made some sort of rope out of sand trying to pull him away from Jack.
"That's right, I called you a Kangaroo because you are one!"
"Mate, you're gonna regret that once I deal with you now" the bunny said in a Australian accent.
"Bring it on then. Sandman, make sure you stay out of this one." Jack taunted, clutching his ready to attack. The chubby man gave a low whistle backing away from the fight. Out of nowhere, the giant bunny lobbed the wooden boomerang at Jack's head. Without thinking, I appeared from the corner, making them see me from their view, and I held my hand out, giving out a shooting veil of dark mist, knocking the boomerang off its track towards Jack. The three of them turned their heads towards me. I quickly walked up to Jack, taking his hand in mine.
"What was that and who are you?" the confused rabbit asked, cocking his head to the right. I tried to make a run for it, looking like I didn't know what he said. But luckily, Frost backed me up.
"As I said, it's none of your business!" Jack yelled, making it echo in the hall.
I suddenly felt the warmth in Jack's hands. Weren't they meant to be cold though? I shook the idea out of my head, as my eyes scanned a place to talk to Jack privately. They soon came to rest on a nearby balcony. I slowed my pace as I let go of Jack's hand. He followed me, as I gripped and sat on the thin rail with the top of my toes still touching the floor above a perilous drop of icy crevices.
"Jack…I need to tell you something." I blurted out quietly, looking at him directly in the eyes.
"What is it?" he asked, his eyes filled with curiosity.
"I want to say sorry to you about what I said today." I admitted, looking down at the floor guiltily.
"You don't have to," he walked a bit closer to me. He lifted my chin up, making me see his smiling face.
"Well…I take that you've forgiven me already huh?" I casually replied. It was about soon until my hands slipped from the rail, making me fall backwards in the cold abyss. That is, until Jack held my arms to catch me from falling.
"Woah. Easy." He said, putting his face near mine. We were just a few inches away from each other's lips.
"See? You've saved me again." I lightly laughed.
"Yeah I guess. There's something I also need to tell you too." Jack whispered into my ear.
"What is it?" I asked, quite intrigued to find out what he was going to say to me. It was just those 3 seducing words that actually made me fall for him a little bit. My eyes widened.
"I love you." Jack softly and secretly, admitted.
