Hey everyone I'm really sorry for not updating this in a really long time, but I've kind of been stuck with Writers' Block. I hope you guys like this next chapter and please continue to review and comment on this story because it's very helpful. They're very much appreciated. BTW a major time skip goes by as Nori falls asleep reliving her worst nightmare just to give you fair warning in case you get confused.
Disclaimer: I don't own anything to do with Rise of the Guardians except for this story and my OC's.
"Hahahahahahahaha! I regret to inform you that you're services will no longer be needed. There won't be a Christmas this year or ever again!" Pitch exclaimed sinisterly as he hopped around the Globe snuffing the lights of the few believers left. OH NO! I've been asleep for how long? I stared in horror as I stayed hidden in the shadows of the kitchen so that Pitch doesn't notice me and I noticed one of the lights wouldn't go out even as Pitch continuously stomped on it. When I looked at the location of the last light my eyes widened in delight because that one believer is my first believer, Jamie Benett and he's the one who Jack made lose his front tooth. I summoned the wind from the North, South, East and West causing me to teleport in a whirl of strong winds towards Jamie's home in the middle of a cold snowy night right outside his window.
"Hey, Jack," I whispered softly and he whirled around to face me with eyes full of surprise and concern. He had his hood up and I smiled shyly as he gave me a small wave as he greeted me, so I followed him to float in front of Jamie's window. Sadly, I watched as he spoke to his stuffed bunny rabbit hoping for some kind of sign for him to keep believing so I blew a small bright yellow light into the room and smiled as he watched it transform a small golden puppy yipping silently running around his room.
"Wow, that's amazing, Nori," Jack whispered in my ear gently causing small goosebumps to form on my arms from the soft chill of his voice. I blushed bright pink and I let out a soft sigh of pleasure from the chill that spread over my body.
"You're turn, Jack," I whispered and he blew frost onto the window then he drew an easter egg. I knocked on the window and Jamie looked in my direction in wonder with his mouth hanging wide open. Involuntarily, I had changed back to my red-haired form in my sleep.
"A-Are you M-Mother Nature?" Jamie asked and I smiled happily as his eyes continued to widen so I pushed open his window entering into his room. "Wow! I knew you were real! I-I love your work with the seasons, especially winter," Jamie exclaimed excitedly and I giggled as I shook my head in amusement.
"Actually, I mostly deal with spring, summer and fall when it comes to the seasons. I usually let Jack Frost deal with winter since he is a winter spirit after all," I explained to Jamie as I sat on his bed and he gasped in amazement.
"Jack Frost's real?" Jamie asked excitedly and I smiled widely.
"Jamie? Who are you talking to?" a woman called from above and we all froze.
"Um…Mother Nature?" Jamie called unsurely and the woman chuckled after saying alright. I chuckled.
"Call me Nori, and you might want to look to your left because Jack Frost is sitting on his staff hiding in the corner over there," I whispered to Jamie as I discreetly pointed towards the back of the room and Jamie gasped as a small blue snowflake landed on his nose.
"Jack Frost," Jamie whispered with his mouth hanging open in wonder and Jack looked at him incredulously.
"C-Can you….see me?" Jack asked hesitantly and Jamie nodded slowly. "C-Can you hear me?" Jack asked incredulously.
"Uh huh," Jamie managed to whisper and Jack started cheering and doing flips around the room from the joy of just being seen. For being finally believed in.
"Your real!" Jamie exclaimed joyfully and I smiled as Jack began to remind him of who brought all the snow days and sent him flying into the air a few days ago on his sled. "Are you and Nori partners when it comes to the seasons?" Jamie asked curiously and we shook our heads with a soft smiles.
"We actually just met not too long ago," I told Jamie and I saw a nightmare outside of Jamie's window. I growled menacing at the horse made out of black sand baring my teeth at it, which caused it to whiny in fear as it galloped away.
"Nori, are you okay?" Jack asked and I shook my head.
"We gotta get Jamie out of here, Pitch is coming," I warned Jack and he scooped Jamie up in his arms as we flew out of his window explaining to him that the Boogeyman is Pitch Black the Nightmare King. We ran to the driveway to see North's sleigh and Tooth crash into the ground as the reindeer ran away there's only one believer.
"Are you guys okay?" I asked running up to them helping North and Tooth stumble out of the sleigh with Jack's help.
"Jack? Nori? What are you doing here?" North asked tiredly as he leaned heavily against his swords for support.
"Same as you," Jack stated with a small smile and I nodded shyly as Jamie stared at North and Tooth in amazement.
"I knew it wasn't a dream!" he exclaimed joyfully and I stared at him in confusion.
"Hey, where's Bunny, Shina and Sandy?" I asked confusedly and everyone except for me and Jamie stiffened. A groan sounded from the sleigh and out hopped a dazed and queasy Shina as she landed ungracefully on the ground tiredly.
"Never…again….never….flying…again," Shina shuddered and she emptied the contents of her stomach on the other side of the sleigh as we all cringed in disgust.
"Sandy is…gone," Tooth said sadly and I stared at her in confusion. She doesn't mean….
"Pitch killed him," North elaborated upon seeing my confused face and my eyes turned a dark shade of red as my hair grew ten feet up in the air into a pillar of red fire.
"When I find him, I'm gonna turn him into a burnt shish kabob," I growled furiously as the thunder rumbled ominously in the distance as dark clouds filled the sky.
"Easter took a toll on all of us. Bunny worst of all," North explained cautiously and everyone took a step away from me as I calmed down. A gray and blue bunny with green eyes hopped out of the sleigh unto the wing sniffing the air and I couldn't help, but giggle at Bunny's new form. Bunny glared at me and he made noises of pleasure as Jamie scratched him behind the cheek, which is his weak spot.
"What happened to him? He was all tall and cool, and now you're…cute," Jamie asked disappointedly after Bunny swatted his hand away from his cheek.
"A believer? Where were you about an hour ago, mate?" Bunny demanded indignantly as he stood up on his hind legs. "Did you tell him to say that? Oh, it's on now, mate," Bunny retorted as he started to attack Jack's leg in a flurry of fluffy bunny legs and fists that I couldn't help laughing along with Shina.
"Actually him and Nori helped me keep believing just when I thought you weren't real," Jamie defended him and Bunny stopped fighting to stare up at us incredulously.
"You did that? For me?" Bunny asked staring up at us with these huge adorable green eyes and I couldn't help but let out a long 'awwwww'.
I'm sorry if this chapter isn't all that good. It took me awhile to come up with this.
