Chapter 7 : Urgent
"Joan...that sounds familiar? " Jack pondered for a moment. 'Who was that girl?'
"Jack, what is it?" Jamie watched his friend's confused expression.
"Huh? Oh, nothing don't worry about it. You should go to bed now before our parents catch you."
"Okay, but let me know if you find her."
"Right." And with that Jack flew off into the night to find the other guardians.
Jack jumped from roof to roof searching for Tooth aka the Tooth fairy's helper fairies. In seconds he was surrounded by small, colorful hummingbird-like fairies.
"Hey, evening ladies. Listen I need you to give Tooth and Bunny a message. Tell them it's urgent and to meet me at the North pole. Got it?"
The tiny fairies nodded and flew off to relay the message while a few stayed behind to collect teeth.
Jack once again flew off into the sky in search of the Sandman also known as Sandy. He landed on a rooftop in the center of the neighborhood. Soon streams of golden sand weaved around him and throughout the area. The shining substance swirled and molded into beautiful, awe inspiring shapes. Fish, dolphins and other sea creatures swam through the air. Dinosaurs like a Apatosaurus the size of skyscrapers marched through the empty streets of Burgess.
Like every time he'd witnessed the shimmering display, Jack watched in speechless awe as one again Sandy had outdone himself. Snapping out of his admiring trance, Jack remembered the task at hand. Flying up he spotted the diminutive dream weaver floating as usual on a golden cloud.
"Sandy!" Jack called. Said guardian stop mid weave and turned to the voice he knew all too well. Upon seeing the familiar winter spirit, Sandy's face lit up with joy as he waved to his young friend.
"Hey, listen I need your help." Jack exclaimed as a gold question mark appeared above Sandy's head.
"I'll explain later. Just meet me at the pole when your done making dreams. It's an emergency."
Sandy nodded in understanding and saluted. Saluting back Jack, for the third time that night, flew into the night sky and toward the North pole to inform the leader of the guardians, North better known as Santa Claus.
Below them, hidden in the shadows of the snow topped forest was a girl who looked to be about 17. She wore a dark blue almost black hoodie, darker blue jeans, black winter boots, and medium gray fingerless gloves. Her hair was tied back into a loose bun under her hood. It was long, medium brown and silky to the touch. She had a warm complexion, Caucasian most likely. Warm honey brown eyes stared up at Jack as he disappeared into the midnight sky. Standing at 5'2'' was Joan O. .
'I'm sorry...' Her eyes held a heavy sadness in them that made it seem like she was on the verge of tears. 'Soon Jack, soon. I promise.' With that thought in mind she set of deeper into the forest to her cabin.
A/N Apatosaurus- Little foot from land before time.
