Chapter seven: Pitch Black and a Pooka
My eye's fluttered open. I groaned and rolled over. That was a mistake because I landed on the floor. "Ow!" I hissed. "You ok?" I heard Jack ask. "Yeah" I grumbled. I crawled back on to my bed. "Tired, aren't you?" He asked. I nodded sheepishly. "Well you better get up or I'll eat your breakfast" Jack
taunted. I shot up off the bed and rushed out of my room. No one ever touches my food. I could hear Jack laughing at me. I quickly smelt the air. I traced the scent of food to a giant hall. It had a big long table and a couple plates set. It looked kind of fancy. I looked at the food on the plates. There was
bacon, eggs, fruit, hash browns and more! I was practically drooling. North and Jack sat down and started to eat. I sat down in front of my own plate. I swear I was about to attack my food, but the only thing that stopped me were the two people sitting with me. When we finished eating, we started to talk.
"Your guardian ceremony will be in about 1 hour, so should start to get ready" North suggested. "In that case I'll get ready now" I said politely. I stood up and quickly walked to my room. I took a steaming hot shower. When I got out I looked in the dresser. There were a lot of clothes. I looked in every
section. There were so many dresses in the thing and I cringed. I hated wearing dresses. I looked at the pants and I picked out a pair of jeans and a red shirt, nothing much. I also threw on my sweatshirt and I still had no shoes, so I didn't pick out any shoes. I combed and tied my hair up in a ponytail.
Then there was a knock on my door. "Come in" I granted. Bunny poked his head in. "Ya ready Sheila?" He asked. I nodded and pulled my hood over my head. We walked out of my room and walked to where everyone was. North carried this gigantic book and the yeti's held their trumpets. "Music!" North
boomed. The music started to play and the elves cheered. They brought out fuzzy slippers for my feat and my nose scrunched up. There is no way I am ever wearing those. Just then black sand snaked around behind the guardians. "Guys behind you!" I shouted. They quickly moved next to me and saw
what I saw. "Pitch" Jack growled. "Its good to see you too jack" a silky dark voice said. A chill shivered down my spine. I then felt a presence behind me. "Who is this?" he asked with a smirk. The guardians were about to attack, but I stopped them. "Are you going to answer me anytime soon?" he asked
bluntly. I growled at him. He tried looking under my hood, but I tugged my hood down farther. He touched my shoulder and I stiffened. "Never touch me" I said in a really deep voice. "So he does talk" Pitch said. Jack was about to correct him about my gender, but I stopped him again. I wanted to fool Pitch.
I wanted to have an advantage. I chuckled a little. "Whats so funny?" He asks completely unamused. "Ya face" I said. And with that he lunged at me. I easily avoided it. " Is that all you've got?" I scoffed. He growled and got out his sand scythe and sand horses bursted down the doors. Pitch whipped his
scythe at me. I jumped over it and ducked at his second attack. It just missed my head. Sandy grabbed Pitch's scythe and him. He threw Pitch up and slammed him down, back on the ground. He then threw Pitch all around the room. "Damn! Remind me never to make you angry" I whispered to him.
Bunny rushed at pitch. Bunny was basically ran over by one of the horses. I ran over to the horses. I started to grow claws and large pointy teeth. I slashed the horse that knocked Bunny down. Black liquid poured out of its wound. When I turned around my face met Pitch's fist. I flew into the nearest wall,
which did not feel pleasant at all. Pitch walked up to me and pulled off my hood. "So your a girl. See this is who Im looking for! A person who has a little fight in them, but your still no match for me sweetheart" He said. Right after he said that I tugged on his robes and he turned around. I knocked out my
leg and my foot connected where no guy should ever be kicked. He sank to the ground in agony. When he wasn't looking, I morphed into a small green lizard. I ran up the side of a wall. When Pitch stood up he had no idea where I was. He was fuming with anger. "Where did she go?" He growled at the
guardians. "You won't find her" Jack said. "Ya want her, ya gonna have to go through me mate" Bunny said. "Gladly" Pitch said. While Pitch was attacking bunny, I focused on being a tiger. I didn't make a sound. I grew bigger and my nails got longer and sharper. I jumped from the wall and on tho Pitch. I
growled and roared, and Pitch was struggling beneath me. I sank my teeth into his arm. He cried out in pain. A horse then ran at me ad flung me off of him. Pitch then retreated into the shadows. I quickly changed back to my human form. The first thing I saw was Bunny leaning against Jack for support.
"You ok?" I asked. "yeah Sheila. Ya don't have to worry about me" He said. "Are you gonna be able to get back to the warren?" Tooth asked. "I don't think so" He answered sadly. "I could take him back" I suggested. They all raised an eyebrow at me. "How are ya gonna do that?" Bunny asked.
Bunny's pod:
"How are ya gonna do that?" I asked. She walked behind a column. "With this form" She said. When she came back out I almost died. She had scarlet red and white fur. Her ears were hanging down, they almost looked like pigtails. All of us had our mouths hanging open. She was a pooka!
