Mirtis laughed as she flew over Sudan. Many of the children here were in poverty and couldn't afford to eat, and just passed while they were sleeping, but they still needed help to see the proper path. She laughed again. She stopped laughing as she sensed a child who was nearing the passage to death.
She gently lowered herself next to the child and sat silently next to him. The child's breathing was harsh and wheezy and Mirtis knew it was almost time. She gently put her hands on the child's forehead and closed her eyes to concentrate. She saw the passage and felt the child's essence near it.
She whispered to the child, "Come, child. All will be well. Just come along. A little more. You'll be alright if you follow me. That's it child. There you go. Come along now." She smiled at the child and the child smiled back and followed her down the passage. She smiled as the child went through the doorway. She opened her eyes and saw the child in front of her.
The child was silent and unmoving. She smiled softly. A job well done,she thought. She silently stood up and flew away once more, most of her elation form the escape gone now.
She may have the job of leading people through the passage of death, but that didn't mean she always enjoyed it. In all of reality, she didn't know why she was so much against Jack's survival. Perhaps it was the first interruption she had ever had in her job.
She was still relatively new to the spirit world, at least compared to the age of the old ones. Even Jack was still young. The older ones were at least 1,000 years old. She was only approaching her 600th year this year.
She was rarely interrupted, but now with the common medical practices, she was often interrupted now because the doctors managed to bring them back before it was too late. She grew less angry each time. She was getting used to it now. It no longer bothered her. But with Jack, she was always so infuriated! Somehow, he always made her mad.
There were many times when she found him sleeping either in a tree or somewhere up high. She always watched him for at least a little bit. The moon shined on him and reflected off his pearly white skin with its blue tint.
She found it truly fascinating and his balance was impeccable. The way he laid in the tree impressed her. She would never have that good of balance. She had many pet peeves about him, and his impeccable balance was one of them. Perhaps it was time she stopped attacking him and apologized.
She sighed and flew off, sensing another child who needed her.
"North! Can I please leave? I'm all better and I need to spread winter around! There are some places that haven't had snow in months!"
"No, Jack. Not yet. Not until I know Mirtis will leave you alone."
"But, North! I have responsibilities! Plus, Mirtis won't bother me at least until next year! I know this for a fact."
"No, Jack! Not yet! Just trust me!"
"Fine! I won't leave and do my my job! Instead, I'll just stay here like a good little boy!" Jack yelled at North. He flew at a very quick pace towards his room.
He was just so angry! He had no release for his powers because North didn't even let him outside! He had a job to do! Winter to spread! Jack was just laying down on his bed when a brilliant idea hit him.
He could just sneak out through his window. Jack silently opened his door and peeked outside and saw nothing and closed his door once more. He flew over to his window and opened it. He flew out and laughed! It was ironic in a way. Before, he was always trying to sneak in, but now, he was sneaking out! How things change!.
He flew away from Santoff Clausen and flew to Canada to give them a nice dusting of snow and frost. He laughed again. How nice it was to be free!
A/N: Sorry it took me so long!I've been busy. I wrote most of this after school Tuesday and Wednesday. I was busy Thursday not because of Valentine's Day but because it was my birthday! We got a life-size TARDIS cut out and it is awesome and very realistic! We also goy Doctor Who monopoly. It was a great birthday! Plus, I am in a hotel tonight. Lucky for you guys, it has free wifi. So here's your chapter! I give an insight into Mirtis' mind. It probably is a bit rambling and this is mostly a filler chapter, but I hope you enjoyed it! Review Answers! (Remember, if I responded to yours through PM, I won't answer it here. If I forget, tell me! I'll answer any of your questions!)
LuvFiction Xxxx: Thanks! Jack is sweet becuae that's how I imagine him. Jack is also way nicer than me too.
Anony mouse101: Thanks! I'm glad you liked it! Glad you understand!
astria505: Not particularly. And yes, that would be evil. Perhaps I'll write an evil Jack some day. That would be fun.
Chrisellea: Thanks! Mirtis just kind of writes herself usually.
The next chapter should be out in a week or two. I'll try a week because the week after is my drama club'd production week, AKA Hell Week. Meaning, I won't have time and will be tired. I'll try to get a chapter to you next week. Might even be Monday or Tuesday. I don't have school either of those days, so we'll see. As always, read, review, and enjoy!
