Chapter 10 Disbelief
Jack's Point of View
We flew away and I resisted the urge to go help my fellow Guardians, but I knew I had to get Raina to safety. Once we escaped the realm of Mother Nature, I started flying toward the North Pole, until I heard Raina start shouting.
"Jack Stop!" Raina shouts and I land in the middle of a forrest.
"What's wrong Raina, we were going to be at the North Pole in a few minutes." I say wanting to get to the North Pole before any of Pitch's minions finds us.
"I can't, I can't do this." She said facing away from me and when I turned her around, there was tears in her eyes.
"Raina I promise you nothing will harm you." I say trying to comfort her, but she just turned away from me again.
"He's right." She says and I felt really confused on what she was talking about.
"What do you mean?" I ask and when she turned back around I could really see the fear in her eyes.
"Pitch is right, I'm the reason why he was able to come back, because of my fear." She answers looking at the ground and I walked a little closer to her and put my hand on her chin and made her look up at me.
"It's Pitch who made you afraid, I'm sure once we figure out what happened to your ability to control winter & restore your memories, we can stop Pitch." I say.
"You really think I'm Mother Nature, don't you?" She asks.
"Yes, I do." I answer and then she backed away from me.
"Well I don't." She replies with a stern face.
"Raina-" I began but she cut me off.
"No don't, I really don't believe that I am Mother Nature." She says with a little bit more anger in her expression.
"Raina I'm sure in time you will believe-" I began again but was cut off again.
"Well maybe I don't want to believe!" She shouts and then she walks off.
Raina's Point of View
I walked off even though I didn't know which way I was going, but I didn't care. At first I wanted to know who I was, but being around Pitch and seeing him as the person who always appeared in my nightmare's, I really felt fear. I was tired of all this, the confusion, the fear, and I wanted to just get away from all of it, all of them, but being around Jack has made me realize how persistent he is.
"Raina where are you going?" Jack asks.
"Away far away." I reply and he flies in front of me and stands, blocking me from my path.
"Jack get out of my way." I say.
"No not until you stop running away." He replies still not moving.
"Ugh why can't you just leave me alone?" I ask.
"Because I'm one of those people who doesn't want you to be alone." He shouts in aggravation and I was really taken aback.
I've only known him for a few days and I never expected to hear him say something like that.
"You've been alone for a long time, and being alone has made you believe that you can't trust anybody and that you must live your life in fear, believe me I know what that's like." He says with sad eyes.
I stared at him for a few minutes, not sure what to think. Of course he would know what it is like to be alone with no one to count on. After all, he suffered that for three hundred years and I have only suffered it for who knows how long.
"I guess that being alone for a long time, I've come to the thinking that I felt that I wasn't-" I began to say but Jack cut me off.
"Wanted." He finishes the sentence.
"Yeah. I guess we really do have a lot in common." I reply.
"Yeah, I guess we do." He agrees.
"You know, you have to be the first person who cares that I existed." I say.
"I'm sure the children cares about you." He replies.
"Yeah but still, I'm sure if I left, they will soon forget about me." I reply glumly.
We became silent again for a few minutes and the grass started to seem more interesting. I began to think about how long I've been alone and for some strange reason, I couldn't come up with an answer. Then when I looked at Jack, I saw the expression that I figured was the 'I got an idea' face.
"Take my hand, there is someone I would like you to meet." Jack says holding out his hand.
"Who?" I ask.
"If you take my hand, you'll find out." Jack replies with a smirk.
Out of curiosity, I take his hand and then we were up in the air, flying far away from the forrest.
