Chapter 11
I arrived back at the Warren with Bunnymund to find an obstacle course set up. There were ladders, simulated rooftops, hurdles, and many others. "What's all this for?" I ask confused.
"This is for ya' training, sheila," Bunnymund said as he inspected the course. "Good job North, I couldn't have done better myself."
"Of course not! I am toy maker, building is specialty!" North states with pride. While Bunnymund just rolls his eyes. Tooth is fluttering nearby when she flies up and says, "North, I need to go back to the Tooth Palace. " North nods and shoos her away.
"Now shelia, before we get started, I need to see how well you can hide and how silent you can be, then we'll move on to speed," Bunnymund tells me as he points to the meadow. I nod unsurely, he counts to three and I sprinted across the meadow in hopes to prove my skill. I hid myself in a tree and noticed the flowers from it smelled quite sweet. 'Bunny will notice my scent from the flowers,' I thought, 'I know! I'll rub some of the tree sap on my clothes.' I rub the sweet, sticky sap on my t-shirt and jeans and hope he won't find me.
"Where'd that shelia go?" Bunnymund asks to no one as he searches for me. He nears the tree that I'm in and I ready myself to tackle him. As he walks under the branch I'm on, I jump on him. Bunnymund is shocked, he looks at me with wide eyes as he stammers to say, "Well done, mate. But now that that's done, I have something for you." Bunnymund walks off and returns with a bundle of fabric. He hands me the bundle and I look up him, very confused. He laughs and motions me to open it. I slowly unwrap the small package and I reveal to arm guards, much like the ones Bunny wears. I gasp softly, they were beautiful. They were snow white and the gems were ice blue and silver, the design had a snowflake connecting each of the gems, but in the middle of the snowflake the gem was a deep purple that seemed to spread its glow to the others through the design. I look at Bunnymund, "Thank you, they're beautiful. But why are you giving them to me?" I ask.
"These lil' things here'll enhance your speed and stealth, as well as your agility," Bunnymund tells me.
"But how do I activate them?" I ask, still confused. Bunnymund chuckles and puts them on my forearms.
"Ya think of the thing that's most important to ya, mate. The thing that makes you the happiest," Bunnymund tells me as he explains their power.
After a few hour of training, Bunnymund decides that I'm done here and that I need to move on. "So who will I be training with next?" I ask. Behind me Jack has appeared and gives me a hug from behind, making me jump slightly. "Jack?" I say as I turn around, "Jack! I missed you. Where did you disappear to?"
"I had to help North with something. So how'd your training go?" Jack says. He raises an eyebrow at me when he notices the arm guards. "And what are those?"
"Bunny gave them to me. They help enhance my speed, stealth, and agility," I said as I smile at Jack, "Do you know who I'll be training with next?"
"Yep, that's kinda why I'm here. I came to pick you up, ." Jack says while glaring at Bunnymund.
"What? What did I do, ya over grown piece o' snow?!" Bunnymund yells at Jack. I shake my head and say, "Girls! You're both pretty, can we move on now?" They look at me in disbelief, "What? I'm not allowed to make a joke?"
