JACK'S POV

Needless to say, I was transfixed. It was not every day that I saw a teenage girl spontaneously start to rap. My sides ached from laughing too hard and her dance routine only made it worse. After a minute or two, she stopped.

"What are you guys looking at? Haven't you ever seen a person rap before?"

"Oh, is that what it's called? I've never seen or heard of it until just then." North answered

"Do you guys live under a damn rock or something? How can you not know what rap is?" Claire started to rant, "So you've never heard of Eminem?"

"No" they all said

"Hilltop Hoods?"

"No"

"Snoop Dogg, or should I say, Snoopzilla?."

"No"

"Childish Gambino?"

"No"

"Wow, what do you guys listen to then?"

"Classical" was our response, excluding Tooth.

"One Direction!" Tooth piped up

"Are you for serious? ONE FREAKING DIRECTION?!"

"What? They have nice teeth!"

She facepalmed, "No, just, no."

Pitch's Fearlings lost all patience and attacked again. We were all surrounded.

CLAIRE'S POV

I watched as the Fearlings surrounded the Guardians, all while Pitch looked on gleefully. In one swift movement, I saw the sand in his hands morph into an oversized bow and arrow. He lifted his weapon and clearly aimed it at Jack. Pitch drew back the bow and released the arrow, just as I instinctively flew towards Jack. I could hear my heart drumming in my ears as both me and the arrow drew closer to Jack. I just made to Jack and pushed him out of the way of the arrows path. A wave of relief washed over me as I saw that he was okay. However, the relief didn't last long, as pain shot through me. I looked down and saw a black arrow protruding from my chest. My eyes rolled back into my head as I fell. The darkness consumed me before I even hit the ground.

Woah, déjà vu.

The whiteness continued on forever and the silence was almost deafening. I looked down at my chest, and the arrow was gone, but the gaping hole was still there, blood was pouring out and staining my already stained dress. Blood also started to collect in a puddle at my feet. Despite this, I still stood. As if my supply of blood was infinite.

Suddenly, a familiar figure appeared in front of me.

"Hey Manny" I smiled "Long time no see!"

Manny smiled back, "Barely. It's been mere minutes since we last met."

I looked at him in confusion, "Dude, it's been hours since we last saw each other. And I thought I was dim"

"You are mistaken, time is different here. A few minutes here is hours in the real world. For you, it has been hours, but for me, it was barely five minutes. But that is not the issue at hand. You are dead."

"I know" I said, pointing to the hole in my chest, that was still gushing blood. "The huge, bleeding hole in my chest kinda gave it away." Sarcasm dripped of each of my words.

"I can fix that" Manny's smile changed. It was less friendly, and more harsh. Like a grimace. "I will give you your life back." Like his smile, his voice changed too. It lowered by a whole octave, and sounded more like a malicious growl.

"Did you really think that you could escape this world that easily?"

With a wave of his hand, the whiteness disappeared, and was replaced with the roof of North's Workshop.

I groaned as I opened my eyes. Looking around, I saw that I was lying on a stone table. Slowly, I sat up, looking down to see that my torn and bloody dress was replaced with a toga of sorts.

"What?!" I heard someone yell.

I looked over and saw Jack stare at me with open eyes.

"YOU'RE ALIVE!" He ran over and wrapped both arms around my waist and squeezed tightly.

"Of course I'm alive, you can't get rid of me that easily." I smiled at him.

The rest of the Guardians came running, and each hugged me. Though with less enthusiasm than Jack.

"How the hell are you alive?" Bunny asked.

And so, I told them what happened with Manny.

"Yeah, so be careful of Manny, that dude is FUCKED"

I looked at the Guardians. "Can I ask a favour?"

"Yes"

"Can I have other clothes, I don't like how tight this toga-thing is."

Within minutes, I was dressed in a simple outfit. (A.N you can decide what she wears.) and was wolfing down a plate of fresh cookies. Jack came over and sat near me.

"Hey, when you're done stuffing your face, you should come with me. There is a little town in need of a snow day."

I smiled "Sounds awesome" I stood up "Let's go!"

Jack smiled too and flew off, waiting for me to follow. I caught up to him, after having stuffed my small bag full of cookies.

THE END!

YAY, I finally updated. I am so sorry that it's short and anticlimactic. I'm also sorry it took me so damn long to update, I've just had A LOT of stuff going on with school, homework, exams and a social life.

Thank you to all my lovely readers! YOU ARE AMAZING!

Exoh :)
