Ch24- Burgess
ELSA'S POV
"So, where are we going exactly?" I asked as North led us to the sleigh
"To Burgess." Jack answered
"Burgess?" I asked. I remember going there once or twice though, but no real memories of the place were stored in my head.
"Yep. Jamie and his friends can help us. Right, Jack?" Tooth asked. Jack nodded.
Sandy tugged at my sleeve. He pointed to the images that formed above his head. It showed a question mark and the work 'Burgess' in golden letters.
"I've been there, Sandy, just can't remember anything familiar there." I answered
"Everybody! Hold on! The ride's going to be bumpy!" North announced as we all got in
"Bumpy?!" Bunny asked, terrified
"How so, North?" I asked
"The reindeer are getting more out of control." North answered. I looked at the animals that were strapped at the sleigh. The creatures were moving around violently. Some of them hurdled, making the sleigh rock.
With a grunt of sophistication, North cracked the reigns. And soon, the sleigh was off. The ride was more bumpy and violent, Bunny's screeches were louder, and I was actually grabbing unto the seat and my nails dug into the hard wood.
The sleigh flew into the air. North took out a snow globe, gave the circular glass a shake, then throwing it into the air. A portal appeared, and the sleigh was in.
Once we passed by the circular shape of colors, we exited and found ourselves above a city. It was night, and not a single person was in sight, except for some kids playing in a backyard. They seem to have spotted the sleigh and began to wave at us furiously. Jack and the others waved back. They seem to be the kids we were looking for.
Once the sleigh landed in a very violent manner at the roadside, I stumbled out and the kids ran out their backyard and to us.
"Jack!" a boy with brown hair and brown eyes greeted us
"Jamie!" Jack greeted back and they did a handshake that contains a fist-bump, side slap, and many other hand gestures that were too fast for me to memorize.
The other kids seem to be indulged mainly because Santa Clause, the Easter Bunny, the Tooth Fairy, and the Sandman were there. I could tell this wasn't the first time that they met.
"Why are you guys here?" 'Jamie' asked
"Something evil is going to stop making children believe again." Jack explained
"Pitch?"
"No, we kicked his butt years ago." Jack said with a smirk. "Someone named Tempest did this. That's why Tooth here can't fly. Bunny is becoming smaller, and North is going grandpa style."
"Hey!" Tooth, North, and Bunny said at the same time
"Who's she?" one of the kids with glasses asked
"Oh, by the way, this is Elsa. AKA, Cupid. We both have the same ice powers. She can help us." Jack announced like the people in those Royal gatherings
"Whoa, you guys have the same powers?" one kid with black bushy hair asked
"Yep." I said
"Wow! You guys look alike! Are you his girlfriend?" one of the girls wearing a pink tutu asked
I felt myself go red. I glanced at the Guardians and they were smirking at us. And by 'us' I mean me and Jack, who was blushing like I am. Argh! It's like being at the trolls again.
"Um… I'm not-" I stuttered
"Girlfriend! Girlfriend! Girlfriend!" all of the kids chanted. Jack ran a hand through his hair as his blush reddened.
"Alright kids, that's enough." North said. Thank God for North actually bailing me out on this.
North huddled the kids together to tell them what to do. One of the girls with brown hair and wore a purple hat excused herself and ran to me.
"Your really Cupid?" she asked, smiling at me
"Why, yes." I answered
"I'm Pippa." She said politely
"Hello, Pippa."
"So…" she said nervously, and looked around, like she doesn't want anyone to know what we're going to talk about. "C-Can you see if anyone has a crush on another person?" she asked rather shyly
As Cupid, I can, of course. Just so I won't get messed up in making a person fall in love with another person if they already fell in love with a different person. Did that sound confusing? I don't know. But, if I concentrate enough, I see a trail of floating hearts (that I'm the only one that can see) that lead to the person they're in love with.
"Yeah. I could." I smiled. "Why would you ask?"
"C-Could you see if the boy over there had a crush on someone?" she asked, slightly blushing
"Which boy?" I asked, because there was a ton of boys there
"Jamie. You know him, right?" Pippa said
A smirk started to form on my face. Ah… young love can get really interesting.
"Why? Do you like him?" I teased
"N-No! It's just that…. I want to know." Pippa blushed
We turned to see the boys, who were messing with Snow.
"You could really talk?"
"How could you talk?"
"Are you an alien?"
"Geez, I know I have tons of fans but I have my personal spaces sometimes." Snow huffed
Now, back to the young love thing. "So, you want to know if he has a crush on someone." I asked, shoving my hands in my pockets
"Yeah." Pippa looked up at me
"Alright." I said. I turned to look at Jamie. I focused my mind on him, erasing other thoughts. Soon enough, a trail of hearts were visualized in my mind.
"Yep. He has a crush." I answered
"Who?" Pippa said, giddy
I followed the trail with my eyes. And you could guess where it already leads. (A/N Ooh! Bonus question! I know it's obvious, but guess where the trail leads to!)
"It's for you to find out." I said with a wink
"When?"
"Probably when he asks you out to prom." I winked again
Pippa looked up at me, grinning like a kid that had her wishes come true. She gave me a quick hug, then running off to join the others.
"Ah, young love…." A voice said behind me. I turned around and saw Jack, cheekily smiling at me.
"Those 2 will be a great couple one day." I smiled
"Do you think we'll be a great couple one day?"
"WHAT?" I asked, slightly confused and perplexed
"Just kidding. Just kidding." Jack joked
But some part of me wishes that he wasn't kidding.
