HI! I'm back with more story-ness!
ENJOY!
Jack POV
I finally had enough energy to shakily rise to my hands and knees, my eyes fixated on the ground, covered in a blanket of ice. My fingers brushed against Pitch's frozen toes as I reached and grabbed my staff. I jabbed the end of the staff into the ground, using it to help me stand up. I weakly leaned against my staff, raising my head. North stood up, brushing himself off, and Bunnymund was helping a weak Tooth balance on the ground. Shine laid still, face down on the ground.
"Where's Sandy?" I mumbled. North's big eyes widened sadly, and I shook my head. "No..."
Bunnymund nodded sadly. "We all saw it happen, mate."
I covered my mouth with my hand.
"Sandy..." Shine whimpered, rolling onto her side. Her skin was slowly turning a sickly blue. Bunnymund gasped and leaned Tooth against North for support, rushing to her and helping her up. Shine shook, using his fur to get warmer. Bunnymund looked up at me.
"She can't handle the ice, mate. We better get outta here."
"I agree," North nodded. "Tooth here needs some rest." Tooth mumbled her agreement, eyes fluttering shut.
"North, you go get the sleigh, we'll wait here," Bunnymund said. North nodded solemnly and rushed off.
I heard groaning, and I looked at Bunnymund. He nodded at Shine in his arms.
She was defiantly not the Shine I knew. Her usual glow (not in the literal sense) has disappeared, replacing it with a depressed, weak aura. Her eyes fluttered as she tried not to fall asleep. When she looked up at me, I noticed her golden eyes were less...sparkly.
"Jack, is there anyway you can get rid of the ice?" Bunnymund whispered. I nodded and melted all of it away, except for the ice that held Pitch. Shine's hair, stick straight, bounced back into it's normal, curly and untamed self. She blinked and smiled, her normal, happy air slowly coming back.
"Thanks, Bunnymund," she said, and I was thrilled to hear that British accent of hers again. She wrapped her arms around her furry neck and hugged him.
"Let's get back," North said, pulling up in the sleigh.
Shine POV
"So, this is it," I muttered, once again back in North's workshop. "He's gone."
I leaned my head on Tooth's shoulder, and she wrapped her arm around me, rubbing my arm. "Sorry, kid," she whispered.
"We can't forgive Pitch for this!" Bunnymund growled, slamming his fist on the ground.
"I say this calls for revenge," Jack added, nodding.
"WAIT! Is dis really vhat Sandy would have wanted?" North asked.
I stood up, my fingers tightening around me staff. "Sandy wanted Pitch GONE! So we're gunna get RID of him!"
"Nice to see your back to your old self," Jack mumbled sarcastically. I pointed my staff at him.
"Watch it, Frosty the Dopeman, all that fluff two chapters ago is OVER!"
"I'm GLAD, I was getting tired of being nice to you!"
"Then WHY did you do it in the first place?!"
"Like I chose what I'm doing in here! Abby's the one controlling our every move!"
"HEY!" Bunnymund yelled. "We don't talk about the author, she's not part of the story!"
"Oh, sorry," I giggled before spinning back to Jack, glaring. "So WHY were you being nice, then?!"
Jack blinked, surprised at my question. "I...uh..."
I smirked. "Speechless, Frost."
Jack glared into my eyes. "You know what, maybe I was being nice because I have FEELINGS!"
"Are you saying that I don't?!"
"That's EXACTLY what I'm saying!"
"You...little...frozen hearted...BASTARD!" I launched myself at him, dropping my staff to the floor. I fell on top of him, landing on his chest, sending HIS staff sliding away. I raised my fist to punch him, but he caught my wrist and spun me around so he was on top of me. He dug his elbow into my stomach, and I reached out, grabbing a chunk of his cold, white hair and yanking it, causing him to yelp in pain.
"YOU TWO!" North yelled, grabbing each one of us by the back of our shirt and lifting us so we were both dangling off the ground. "No fighting right now!"
I sighed, letting myself go limp. "Whatever. Just let me go, Santy."
"Don't. Call. Me. Santy," North growled, lowering us both to the ground. I brushed myself off before walking back towards my staff, knocking into Jack's shoulder as I walked past. I bent over to pick it up.
"AUGH!" I yelled, leaning forward to far and landing on top of my staff. Jack laughed, twirling his staff. I looked down and saw he tripped me with some ice.
"You're freaking hilarious, Frostbite," I rolled my eyes, grabbing my staff and letting the end of it gently touch the patch of ice, making it melt instantly.
Meanwhile, a frozen Pitch Black stood in the middle of their battlefield. A soft mumbling sound came from within the statue. A small cracking sound could be heard as lines ran up the side of him, stopping right by his ear. with a sudden explosion, ice shards flew everywhere, tangled up in black nightmare dust.
Pitch stretched, laughing. "He thought a little ice nest could hold me." With a crack of his neck, Pitch whistled for his nightmare horses and walked off, disappearing into the shadows.
Jack POV
"I should be a comedian," I winked, spinning around before I could see her reaction.
"You. Are. So. Stupid," She mumbled.
"All right, you two. We need to figure out how to stop Pitch," Tooth said.
"We should do something with those nightmares," I suggested.
"Can't," Bunnymund shrugged. "Without Sandy, there's no chance of stopping them."
"Man in moon," North mumbled before looking through the skylight.
Shine closed her eyes, her hair fluttering slightly as she took a deep breath. "He's almost done. My dad should start coming out soon, it's almost dawn."
"Manny! Have you any suggestion?" North called.
I glanced at Shine and shrugged.
"C'mon, mate, we need an answer," Bunnymund groaned.
Shine sighed, her head dropping to her chest. "It's too late, guys."
I noticed as the moon finally disappeared from the skylight, just as the sun was starting to show.
"Do you think your father would know anything, Shine?" Tooth asked.
Shine shrugged. "He's not 'all-knowing' like the Man in the Moon. Sorry, guys."
Really bad chapter, it was more of just a filler. u.u
Sorry.
