So this is kinda a filler chapter, sorry! But please let me know what you think:)

Chapter 6

Sara POV

We were flying toward the North Pole in a silence. Jack was ahead of me as I followed closely behind him. There was a light snowfall, and based on the white ground for miles I was assuming we were close. I was shocked about what had happened earlier this morning, and was still trying to comprehend what had happened. The strange guy, Death, has been watching me...and now thinks I'm his.

The idea of that was enough to make shivers go down my spine. But it was really happening. I've experienced fear my whole life, fear of who I was or what I needed to be. But this was a different kind of fear I'd never experienced, it was enough to make me emotionally break down right now. But I had already done that, which was embarrassing.

I was surprised to find a smile start to appear on my face. I looked up at Jack flying ahead of me, and my smile grew wider. I hate feeling weak, and at my weakest moment he saved me and took care of me. He let me cry against him until I stopped, and even then took time to make sure I was okay. And he was obviously surprised when I embraced him, seeing as how rude I was when we had first met. But he embraced back, and never once did he stop.

"Are you okay?" I heard Jack ask. In the mist of my thinking, I didn't realize that I was falling behind as Jack easily flew through the snow storm that was beginning to form. He stopped though and let me catch up, it wasn't as easy for me to fly through the snow.

"Yeah I'm fine." I said as I caught up with him. He gazed at me for a second, then continued forward again. I waited a second before following after him, but even when I was concentrating on my flying I still quickly fell behind. I held my hands up to cover my face and tried to use my staff to shield myself from the snow, but it didn't work.

I kept pushing myself through the falling snow, and shielded my eyes. I kept going until I finally bumped into something. I grunted as I straightened up to look at what I had collided with. It was Jack.

"You're not okay." He had his arms crossed over his chest and he was just floating there with a smart ass grin on his face. The blizzard around us didn't effect him at all. I tried to glare up at him but a sudden gust of wind threw me off balance, I would have went flying but Jack quickly reached out and held my shoulders to keep me from blowing away.

Our eyes locked. His head was bent down to look at me, and his blue eyes were gazing at my brown ones. I wanted to look away, but I couldn't. I felt a blush begin to rise up to my cheeks, and I quickly broke the eye contact and shook myself loose from his light grasp.

"I'm fine." I said making sure to keep myself steady as I began to fly ahead. I kept pushing through the snow, until a felt a hand slide into mine. I looked down at my left hand in shock to find Jack grasping it. I looked up to find him already looking at me.

"You need help," He said, "Now we can get there faster." It was a lot easier with him helping me, but I wasn't helpless! I could do it on my own! But I enjoyed the feeling of his cool hand against mine, so I didn't let go.

Once we got to North's place, we landed in front of a giant pair of red doors. Jack strolled right through without a second thought. I took an extra second before walking in, it seemed wrong to come in without being invited but...

We were in a giant room, with a skylight showing the sky above us. I turned around looking at the room. There were stairs for what seemed to be 5 different floors, which you could tell by the railings up above.

I then watched Jack walk over to this big desk in the middle of the room. I walked over near him and saw him press a few buttons then gaze up at the skylight. I copied him and looked up, and saw brightlights flooding out of the ceiling...I think. He then looked back at me and smiled.

"It's okay. They should be on their way now." I gave a half smile in return. I wasn't sure what to think of meeting the Guardians. Would they help me? Call me a fool? The possibilities seemed endless. I knocked my staff down against the ground and took a step back. But I felt something furry.

I turned around to see a yeti looking down at me. I looked up at it...not sure of what else to do. It then just waved at me, and walked away. Looking around more closely, I saw dozens of yetis walking around, and also elfs that seemed to be messing around with electricity. It was overwhelming to say the least.

"What do you think? Pretty cool huh?" I turned around to face Jack, who had been leaning up against the giant desk and watching me. He was smiling, like always, and gazed at me with an eager look in his eyes.

"Yeah!" I said as I looked back at him. "It's amazing." He then walked over to me, and grabbed me by the arm lightly.

"Come on." I followed him obediently. He then took me up five flights of stairs, all the way to the top floor. He happily brought me through a door with a snowflake carved into it. He let me enter first, and then followed closely behind. I gazed around the room to see floors that were cool, and almost as clear as ice. I wiggled my feet against it enjoying the cool feeling. I then saw snow like designs all over the wooden walls, and a door to the right of the room. I entered in further, and saw snowflakes lightly falling from the ceiling, and a small, white closet against the back wall. Then I sat down on the giant bed that was against the left wall. It had satin sheets and soft blankets, also fluffy pillows. Everything seemed to be a white and blue design, like winter.

"It's beautiful." I whispered softly. As I looked back at Jack who was still in the doorframe. He smiled at me and walked into the room.

"This is my room." I kept gazing around as he began to sit next to me on the bed.

"Hmm," I started acting like I was glaring around, "I say it's to wintery." I then smiled at him. He started laughing, which made me start laughing. At that moment, I had forgotten everything. I forgot Death, and the Guardians, I was just focused on laughing with Jack, which felt amazing. After we laughed for a bit, he started to get up.

"You'll sleep in here." I looked up at him surprised.

"What?"

"You'll...sleep...in-"

"Don't be a smart ass." I said as I cut him off. He grinned, pleased at his own joke. "I have to meet the Guardians."

"And you can do that after you sleep." He said as he sat back down next to me again. "You look exhausted and could use the rest." I wasn't going to deny I was tired. But I didn't want to steal his room!

"Are you sure? Because I really don't think-"

"Hey!" He said putting his index finger against my lips "I insist." He then stood up and looked at me. I looked back up at him and quickly realized I had no choice. So I set my staff down next to the bed and crawled under the covers. I hadn't slept on something this soft in a while. He smiled and started to walk out.

As my head hit the pillow, I could feel my eyelids starting to become heavy. I heard Jack lightly tap his staff against the ground, which seemed to make the room darker.

"Goodnight Sara." I didn't have time to respond before he shut the door and sleep overcame me.
