Chapter Seven: The Dream
Pic is of Lilly, daughter of Mother Nature. Credit for it goes to myself because I drew it :) and I'm pretty proud of it too. Anyways, on we go!
~Pitch's P.O.V.~
Watching Jack sleep so peacefully in my arms as I make my way to the North Pole makes my old heart constrict with a feeling I've only ever felt once before. Adoration and Love fills my entire soul to the point of overflowing, as I watch him. He has this absolutely adorable smile on his lips as he dreams.
I wonder what he's dreaming about that is making him so happy... I think to myself. Oh, why not? Just a small peek won't hurt anyone... and so, I plunge myself headfirst into his dream, hiding in the trees' shadow. As I watch, he is sitting on a blanket, that has a giant, intricate snowflake on a pure black background, and... what the Hell? I'm sitting across from him! And we are laughing... it has been a long while since I've truly laughed with joy or happiness.
And yet there we are, sitting and laughing with no care in the world. Just us two. On a beautiful day and on a picnic, it seems. As I'm watching, he reaches across the short distance between us and grabs the other me's hand.
The other me blushes and smiles, pulling him onto his lap. I feel a pang of jealousy and I have to scold myself because it's me and Jack over there but it's not actually me. I'm right here... ugh, I slowly exit his dream and as I do I smile, seeing the other me and him kiss. He's dreaming about us, that's all that matters to me... I think to myself. As I walk towards the North Pole, Jack shivers so I pull him closer to me and wrap my cloak around the both of us. I know he and I can't feel the cold very well and it doesn't affect us very much, but sometimes, it can take us off guard.
And noting it is always ten times colder at the Pole than anywhere else, I make a small shield of black sand surround Jack's front side so the wind doesn't get to him. After a few more minutes, I enter the main doors of the Guardians' Headquarters. I stop and wake up Jack with a slight kiss to his forehead. He smiles up at me as his eyes flutter open and he yawns.
"That was a nice nap... Thanks Pitch.." He says and kisses my nose, taking me slightly off guard. I chuckle and set him upright on his feet.
"We're here." I say and gesture around us. He looks around and sighs.
"Yes we are..." he says quietly. I grab his hand to give him some support and he smiles back at me. And so, hand in hand, we walk forward and up the stairs to the Main Lounge.
So I hope you guys like this one. I worked for two days minus the hours I was in school and eating and sleeping, but yeah. So let me know what you think. Lots of Love, Anna
