Chapter 4
The morning breeze was brisk and chilly as I tossed and turned in my bed. I sat up quickly, wiping the sweat off my forehead sighing. My door swings open as one of the demon servants come in bowing.
"Ma'am Jinx, Sir Pitch would like to speak with you in his chambers"
I nod to them as they dismiss themselves. His chambers? Man... what did I do? I climb out of bed and sort through my dressers to find a simple outfit. I shower and get dressed in a long royal blue dress, black beading on the bodice. Pulled my hair into a tightly fitted bun as I looked at myself in the body mirror.
"I guess it's either now or later." I take a deep breath and head down the hall to my father's office. I give a soft knock hearing a booming voice from the other side.
"It's open..."
"Father you wanted to see me?" I spoke as I close the door behind me. He lookup from the millions of papers scattered across the table. He looked stressed and irritated. I walked over and sat in front of him, legs crossed. I look around not really wanting to give eye contact.
"Jynx my dear. I need to talk to you about the guardians." Pitch began running his hand through his slicked back black hair. "Those beings aren't like us. They'll try to become your friend then leave you in the dust." He slides files in front of me as I scooted up my chair. "North, Tooth, Easter bunny, Sand Man and even Jack... They'll betray you as they did me."
I look at the files as he read over them. I read through Jack's file and gasp to myself. He was the little boy.
"Jack isn't like that. He's a very sweet person" I say looking up into his cold dead eyes. "He saved my life, I don't think he'll do anything horrific."
"Nonsense my dear. You've never seen what he's capable of. He's killed thousands before with a simple snowstorm. That boy is very dangerous."
"I'll ask him myself."
"I forbid you to do so. What do you think when he figures out, my daughter. Nothing. He'll just leave you cold-heartedly. I'm trying to keep you from getting your heart broken dear. You're my precious daughter. I wouldn't want anything happening to you."
We sit in silence for a while, not looking at each other. I get up and leave not wanting to be in that room anymore. 'How does he know jack? Surely It was just a coincidence...' I thought to myself as I jump out the window. I spread out my wings letting them catch air soaring higher closer to the clouds. 'Now where would a snow spirit be...' I glance around as I feel a huge gust of wind hit my wings sending me above the clouds.
"I didn't expect to see you since our last encounter..." I stop and look around as Jack poked his head through the clouds. He climbs onto it with the biggest grin on his face. I roll my eyes as I feel his arms wrap around my waist pulling me into a tight hug. "I was actually thinking about you." I blush from his words and pull out of his embrace giving him a sly smile.
"It's nice to see you as well... Jack is it?" He nods and smiles.
"So, what brings you up here?" He says laying on the cloud floating around on it.
"I need to ask you something..." I started off and he hops off the cloud and grabs my hand.
"wait before you ask, I would like to show you some people..." He smiles and pulls me to his chest as he drops through the clouds.
