Jackie POV
After we got back to the pole and the yetis check me out, despite my protests, i don't like people touching me, i flew outside and got my feelings out, i sang. Singing to me has always been an escape its nice and it makes me feel better, so i had no songs about sandy, i sang a song i wrote about what pitch did to me. i know it by heart cuz i wrote it back in 84 around that time when... yea... anyway it felt nice and after i finished my ice band disappearing i notice the guardians watching me. Great. just what i needed i ignore them and let my feelings overtake me. i needed this. i was very careful not let my power flow out we couldn't afford a blizzard in the north pole even though its all ice and snow. when i felt better i wiped my frozen tears off my face and let the wind carry me back into the hot workshop. i panted. its way to hot in here for me but i wont let it show ill just stay by the window. i push my hair out of my face, still not used to it clinging to my face and i look around. Where is tooth north and sandy? i sigh and go looking for them hoping i wont over heat hear their voices coming from the globe room.
"look how fast they're going out." tooth sounds worried i walk up behind her she shivers notice the cold from my body but doesn't say a word i float up toward the globe
"its fear, hes tipped the balance." i say softly floating above north America. north, tooth and i all look worried as the lights go out quickly. Bunny isn't having any of it.
"hey! buck up you sad sacks!" he hops over to the bench doing a flip and lands on it. i roll my eyes hes just showing off. "we can still turn this around! Easter is tomorrow and i need your help! i saw we pull out all the stops and we get those little lights flickering again!" he looks so... hopeful i fly down and land next to north and tooth and bunny grins and turns and looks at the globe proud of himself. we set off toward the sleigh in renewed hope
"bunny is right! as much as it pains me to say old friend this time Easter is more important then Christmas!" Bunny starts freaking out. his jaw drops and eyes widen."hey did everyone hear that!" he grins and points at a yeti excited. i giggle and he stops and stares of me his nose twitching. i blush a pale blue and look away.
"We must hurry to the warren! everyone! to the sleigh!" says north and bunny looks away from me and moves in front of north.
"oh no, mate. My warren my rules. buckle up!" and he taps the ground with his foot and a hole forms beneath us. north says something in Russian and, all of us including tooth (who is flying) a couple elves and some yetis fall into the hole. as we slide in the hole i all i can hear is north screaming and the elves bells from their hats. As we slide deeper and deeper i laugh my voice full of pure joy. its more fun then the sleigh! the only problem is the deeper we go the hotter it gets i can feel my hair start to well melt. the ice in my hair started to melt and leave my hair flat. but i ignored the heat used my magic to refreeze the ice on my body then as we came out of the tunnel landing in the warren. i laughed as tooth righted herself in the air and north, the yetis and elves landed on their back. meanwhile i landed cleanly on my feet giggling.
" 'buckle up.' is very funny." north says with amusement. i start laughing so hard that i have clutch my stomach as it starts hurting. everyone looks over at me as my laughter dies. i look up
"what?" i question tilting my head. tooth smiles
"nothing sweet tooth just happy to see you enjoying yourself." i blush ice blue covering my face and look away as north and bunny chuckle. Bunny clears his throat and i look back at him, he grins pleased and spreads his arms, proud of his home. i watch giant stone eggs walk up behind him.
"welcome to the warren!" bunny grins happy with himself then he stops his ears going striaght up sniffing the air on alert. he turns around his back to us sniffing the air his ears moving side to side as if searching for the threat. "somethings up." as he says that a bunch off... um eggs? eggs with um little legs come running out from a tunnel. Bunny stands up pulls his boomerang from his back and prepares for a fight, we all do that same as we hear a high pitched scream from the tunnel. could it be pitch? no its too high who is it? the stone eggs even change their faces preparing for the battle. Bunny screams runs toward the threat we all follow suit i try hard to keep up but its hot and i feeling weak, but i refuse to show them weakness. Suddenly Sophie, Jamie's little sister comes running out from in the tunnel eggs in her hand, bunny stops suddenly all of us stopping behind him as our screaming, ours and Sophie's dies and we stand there looking at each other dumb founded as if we didn't expect to see each other. well she didn't expect to see us and we didn't expect to see her here. she stands there her mouth open looking from bunny to north to tooth to everyone else, everyone expect me of course. i push away the hurt and say
"Sophie?" all of a sudden there is a flurry of movement as everyone but me hides their weapons. i just relax it why bother? she cant see me. i blow my soggy wet hair out of my face as my head spins i close my eyes but stand steady. no one notices as i refreeze the melted water on me, they are too busy watching Sophie. Sophie giggles and drops the eggs chasing after an elf shouting
"elf elf elf!"
"what is she doing here?" says bunny turning out to face north who gets a guilty look on his face and searches his coat.
"ah snow globe." he says. a yeti says something to him in their language.
"Crikey! somebody do something!" shouts bunny looking around wildly. i put one of my hands up holding onto my staff
"oh, don't look at me! I'm invisible remember?" i say as i back up trying not to show how weak i feel. mean while Sophie is dragging an elf across the floor. bunny looks at me with narrowed eyes then shakes his head and turns back to Sophie freaked out
"elf! elf!" Tooth flies forward past bunny toward Sophie
"don't worry bunny! i bet shes a fairy fan!" she floats in front of Sophie who drops the elf and stares. Tooth poses smiling as Sophie gasps "its OK little one."
"pretty!" Sophie stares at tooth fascinated tooth grins
"aw! you know what! I've got something for you! Here it is!" Tooth opens her hand "look at all the pretty teeth, with little blood and gums on them!" Sophie looks at the teeth then tooth with a terrified look on her face then screams and runs away. I chuckle and refreeze myself.
"blood and gums?" I flew off toward Sophie "when was the last time you guys actually hung out with kids?" I land on a stone egg with its mouth open watching Sophie chase little eggs into it. She leans down and shouts into the open mouth with all the little eggs and shouts
"PEEK-A-BOO!" and they rush out and she giggles and chased them toward bunny and them and bunny ushers the eggs behind him like they are his children and he protecting them from harm.
"We are very busy bringing joy to children we don't have time… for children?"says north he watches as Sophie chases butterflies past him. Bunny and tooth nod in agreement as I shake my head and muster up some of the little power I have left to form a Happy snowflake, I wave it off toward bunny saying.
"if one little kid can ruin Easter, then we are in worse shape then I thought." the snowflake hits bunny in the face, his eyes turn a temporary blue as the spell hits him. He then blinks and his eyes are back to that pretty green they always are…. Wait did I just say that? Ignore that! But anyway a smile spreads across his face as the spell hits him, he leads Sophie toward some flowers and the eggs are being born? Out of, I don't know something like that. He places his paw on her hand and askesher if she wants to paint some eggs
"okay!" she jumps and down watching them. Soon all the eggs are painted finally it seem to take forever, Sophie yawns and curls up passed out in bunnys arms. I walk over watching the eggs walk into the tunnel. By this time my face is flushed and my hair its flat against my head soaking wet. Its hard to keep myself cool. I sigh
"not bad." bunny looks at me
"not bad yourself.." then he really looks at me "whoa jackie mate you ok?" I nod pushing the hair out of my face
"its just too hot down here, im fine. But I feel like I should say sorry."he looks at me confused. I take a deep breath "look…. I'm sorry about the whole….you know the kangaroo thing." he looks at me, my state of wear forgotten
"its the accent, isnt it?" I laugh as tooth and north come over, tooth flies right up to Sophie, and leans closely "oh, poor little ankle biter, look at her all tucked out."
"i love her." tooth said leaning closer, she then reaches out for her "i think its time to get her home." and pulls the little girl into her arms. I jump up
"how about I take her home?" anything to see jamie again… he looks so… familiar… no he looks like his great great great great great and probably a few more greats in there, Grandpa; a sad little boy who lost his older sister at a young age. Emmett was his name poor boy, he used to stand by the lake where he lost her. I always felt drawn to him maybe its because he was so sad and lonely me. Another reason I wanted to go was it was too hot in here for me I needed out bad. Tooth looks at me worried.
"Jackie no! Pitch is..." I stiffen at his name but push it aside and hold out my staff
"no match for this!"
"which is why we need you here." said bunny gesturing around us. Nope no thank you, I wont be any help if I stay here. Ill probably pass out, I feel the need to now.
"trust me." I plead "ill be quick as a bunny." I take Sophie from tooth and fly off getting out of there as quick as I can. It took a lot of convincing baby tooth to stay with tooth, I didn't need anymore seeing me right now I was feeling worse and worse the more I spent here, maybe if I had more power more believers id be ok but as it is I have none. I start to feel better as soon as I hit the cool air. I take a deep breath and enjoy it. I fly Sophie to her house try to get her into bed but she keeps rolling out of it. I giggle and place a Blanket over her little butt. I stop in and see Jamie still passed out and sigh smiling then I fly off.
"JACKIE! JACK!" I hear an echoy little boys voice call. I look around.
"huh? That voice… I know that voice… but where…." he sounds so scared, maybe he worried about me? But how no one can see me… unless. My eyes widen and I fly off toward the little boys voice hope blooming in my chest, maybe its a little boy who can see me!
"jackie!" he calls again. As I fly closer it gets louder. I realize its coming from the woods, I take off toward it. And land near where I heard it, I run forward my legs still shaky, I havent gain all my power back yet. As I run I spy a wooden bed above a hole. I hear the boy again and its coming from the hole, curious I walk toward the bed unsure of whats going on. Is the child in the hole? He doesnt sound scared anymore almost frustrated like I was teasing him and he was not mad but kinda done with it… I get to the bed and use my staff to break the wood over . I s hole. I watch as it falls down and Its the bottom I hear the boy again this time he sounds glad. So I jump down the hole. I land in a tunnel I follow it to room full of cages. And in those cages…. And baby tooth fairies. I fly over not noticing the pile of teeth canisters. I hear the voice again but for now I ignore it I need to get these fairies out of here. If im right pitch is somewhere near here and we need to leave now. I work on opening a lock but its hard and I cant get it but I dont give up and…..
"my dear jackie welcome." I gasp and look around falling to the ground landing on the teeth canisters looking for pitch as he laughs I struggle to stand up but mange too"Dont be afraid my dear I'm not going to hurt you…. Much!" suddenly he grabs me from behind and I scream tears filling my eyes, he tugs me toward solid ground. I struggle and nearly break free, but he grabs my hair. "ah ah ah my dear, you're not going anywhere till I get what I want, and you know what I want." I scream in pain as he pulls me toward him
"n-no!" I try to use my power but its still not restored, pitch takes my staff and throws it across the room. He grins and tears my hoodie off. I wince as he throws it aside and pins in to the ground.
"no one to save you now my dear.. its time for that punishment for defying my orders." he forms a knife out of nightmare sand and cuts my bindings off slicing the skin I scream in pain and he does it over and over again all over. Soon the pain becomes too much and I black out able to hold on to fight him off…..
well there it is! hope you all enjoyed it I hope to post the next chapter very soon!
