Chapter 6: Plans and Meetings
When I woke up, I felt cooler. Looking around, I found I was still in Jamie and Maddy's living room. Cloud's little helpers, Misty and Natura were beside me smiling. That's when I figured out that they must've been the reason I felt so much cooler. I still felt hot though. I gripped my staff tightly as I used it to pull myself to my feet, my entire body shaking with uncertainty.
"Snow," Cloud said. "It's okay. Misty and Natura just wanted to help." She thanked them and they flew away.
"Uh, Snow," I turned to Dusty, brushing a hair out of my eyes. She passed me a pair of rain boots. "Would these help?"
The rain boots were completely black with electric blue snow designs and electric blue soles. As much as I despised wearing shoes (I went around bare footed for crying out loud!), I knew the boots would prevent me from burning my feet again if I chose to go back outside while we were here in Burgess. Sighing, I reluctantly took the boots and pulled them quickly on my feet. I stood again and spun around a little, trying to get a feel for them. I'd never worn shoes in my life so these felt really strange, but I knew they'd help.
"Thanks." I said to Dusty.
She held up a hand. "These boots were Maddy's." I looked at Maddy , who nodded and smiled.
"Thanks." I said. Maddy just shrugged. I turned to my friends. "So, what happened?"
"In a nutshell, Slushy," Aurora started. "You overheated."
I groaned. "And now we've lost time!"
"No we haven't, Snow." Cloud said. I looked up at her in curiosity.
"We think we know why children's belief has started slipping." Solar said.
"Angel Moon is the Mistress of Deception, right?" Jamie said. I nodded. "That's what the Guardians had said. "So, if the kids have started to not believe anymore then that means only one thing."
"Angel Moon is using her power over deception to make the kids doubt the Guardians." Maddy concluded.
I smiled and looked at my friends and Blaze. Then I frowned and turned back to Jamie and Maddy. "Then why do you two still believe?" I asked. "Shouldn't you be doubtful as well?"
"We're two of the only few kids that have ever met you guys in person and Ihave managed to keep our belief even into adulthood." Jamie said. "I was your father, Jack's, very first believer."
Maddy nodded and smiled. "And I was your mother, Casey's, very first believer."
"Nothing in the world could get us to stop believing." Jamie said, wrapping an arm around his wife's shoulders. "Not even the Mistress of Deception."
"What about your friends?" Solar said. "The ones who also helped all of our parents beat Pitch fourteen years ago?"
"I know Cupcake and Monty still believe." Jamie replied. "Pippa's belief was wavering even before Angel attacked us. As for the twins, Claude stopped believing and Caleb's belief isn't falling too far behind Claude's."
"Mica still believes." Maddy said. "However, Sarah stopped believing when we entered our sophomore year of high school."
I nodded. "Okay so part of the group who helped beat the fear king can still be relied on."
"Sophie still believes." Jamie interjected. "I think Bunny still comes to visit her."
"He does?" Aurora asked and I thought I saw hurt flash across her green irises. "Without me." Not taking the time to think, both Dusty and I wrapped our arms around either side of Aurora, hoping to comfort her.
"I could call her." Jamie said, seeming to have picked up on Aurora's sadness as well. "And you could meet her."
Aurora just nodded. I was shocked. This was definitely the first time I'd seen Aurora speechless in the six years I'd known her. Her long bunny ears dropped slumping on Dusty's head and barely brushing the top of mine.
Jamie quickly made the call and in almost five minutes, we heard a furious knock on the door. I followed Jamie to the front door and almost fell over as I was immediately picked up by sixteen-year-old Sophie Bennett once Jamie had opened the door. What is it with these Bennett kids feeling the need to pick me up!? I yelled angrily in my head. Seriously, I was ten years old! I was not some toy, even if I was small for my age. It got worse when Sophie started talking to me as though I was still three years old, which was how old I'd been when I'd first met Sophie with my parents.
After Jamie convinced Sophie to put me down before I suffocated, we went back to the kitchen where everyone else was. We introduced Sophie to Aurora and Dusty. Aurora was only a few inches shorter than Sophie, but it didn't make much of a difference to her.
"So you're Sophie." Aurora said. "My dad has told me a lot about you."
Sophie smiled. "And you're Aurora. Bunny wasn't exaggerating when he told me about his little girl."
It ended up that Sophie and Aurora had a lot more in common then we'd thought, especially when it came to Bunny. After they had finished talking, the rest of us filled Sophie in on what we had been discussing about earlier. As we'd suspected, she wanted to be in on everything. After calling Cupcake, Monty, and Mica, our group against Angel became bigger.
The first few sentences at the start was from MistyLilyValley's fic but the rest was me.
