Hey guys! Sorry it's been so long, but I've been updating this story on Wattpad, so I though I might as well update it here too. Though it's probably going to be more frequent there. So anyway please enjoy!
... Jack P.O.V
There were snowflakes falling around and I watched from the trees as two children prepare to go ice skating. One was older, around 17 or 18 but I wasn't sure, even though I knew that was me. The little girls hand he held belonged to my sister, Rose. Her shoulder length brown hair bounced as she started to skate. Some would think that this is a nightmare for me but the thought that I saved my little sister made this a dream.
"Frost!" I hear an angry voice shout. I I'm pretty sure I know that voice. My vision of myself start to become blurry and I concluded that I was waking up. The forest began to fade an I was left in white void for a few seconds before actually waking up, without opening my eyes, but I knew I had to. I open then and the first thing I see is the window. It was still dark out and it's probably like 1 or 2 in the morning. Why did she wake me up this early. I flop back into my bed ready to drift off to sleep again when she said something rather rudely.
"Frost! Let go!" She said. I open my eyes and speak my self.
"I'm not touching you!" I moan before rolling back on my side. I didn't usually sleep but if I'm invited to stay at Norths place when I have time off, I crash on the bed and sleep. It feels good to do that. I think I'm drifting off to sleep again when Lilly shouts at me.
"What the hell Frost!" I hear and I finally sit up with droopy eyes.
"I haven't done anything!" I half shout back to her as I open my eyes. I see her lying in her bed in her green and white dress, which I found odd because I'm pretty sure that she went to bed in like Pyjama's or regular clothes or something. I don't know I'm not a fashion person. I walk over to her bed and look at her face. I found it quite flattering really that she was dreaming of me but then I noticed that she had a wicked snarl on her face. Ok what ever I did in dream world was not good. Haha hi-five me!
I notice that her fists were clenched and they were starting to glow fading between the colours of green and pink before shouting the words "petal hurricane!"she then opens one palm and shoots straight at me. I quickly dodge.
"Daisy wake up!" I say poking her with my stick. I quickly shuffle backwards when I do, just to make sure that I didn't receive anther blow to the chin. Nothing happened. She didn't even stir the slightest. Something's got to be wrong here. That's when I noticed something. There were grains of black sand making their way into her mouth. She coughs but doesn't do anything about it. Now things are more desperate. I reach out to grab her shoulders to shake her awake but she fired another spell at me again.
"Water Jab!" She says as a blue light comes out of her hands. I freeze thine an it disappeared. I flew out of my room ad burst into North. North jolted awake but was still confused as to what's going on because this eyes mask that read 'cookies please' was still rested on his eyes. At any other moment I would have laughed incredibly hard but right now there was small bits of nightmare sand surrounding her and that isn't good.
"North! Nightmare sand has got Lillyana!" I shout at him, he looks at me slightly dazed but then realises ad rushes off.
"I go get Sandy." He says as he runs off, but not before turning around I face me again. "Watch her." He says with one finger pointed at me. I nod at him and quickly fly bak into my room where I found her gasping for air as the black sand forms a tight rope around her neck and she was holding it, clawing at it to get away but noting was working. I don't know what to do!
"Frost, please, stop it!" She says barely with the little breath she had left. I really have to be careful now. I place my hand on the black sand ad it slowly starts to freeze, and she cries out in pain so I stops this isn't working! What if I use fire? No, it might burn her, or more importantly me. I look around the room for soothing I could use to stop it but I don't see anything. I hear her take a sudden gasp and I found myself flying against the room and into the wall. The hit must have done something to me because I don't think that I can get up. I'm slightly dazed and reopen my eyes, which I didn't realise where shut with a painful moan. I see Lilly quickly rush over to me and help me up with the look of worry on her face.
"You ok?" She asks getting me up an onto her bed. It's slightly warm, which irritates me but I don't pay much attention it.
"So you do care?" I say naturally cocky. She glares at me and rises her hand.
"Don't make me hit you again!" She says and with a serious look. I flinch slightly before talking again.
"I'm fine, but are you?" I ask as she she steadies me, even on the bed.
"I'm fine, it was just a nightmare." She shrugs it off. She then begins to check me over, probably for any cuts or bruises from her attack before. I place my hands on her shoulders to get her to stop.
"Hey! Calm down, I'm fine. You should be more concerned about yourself." I say taking my hand off her.
"Why? Is it because of this?" She asks holding up her hand...which had nightmare sand it it! Quickly I blast it out of her hand cause it to shatter on impact with the ground. what? I panicked! "Im gonna say that's a bad thing." She comments on my actions.
"Yeah it is." I say. "That's Pitches nightmare sand. It gives people nightmares."
"No kidding. No wonder you in it." She retorts and I can't help but be cocky.
"Are you sure it was a nightmare?" I tell her with a smirk and she rolls her eyes.
"Yes. I didn't even know that it was until you showed up actually. You weren't acting like...well you." She told me.
"So you know me that well huh? I've only known you for half a day." I say, being cocky yet again.
"And That's how I knew. You weren't cocky or a smart ass and you can't run super fast." At each insult i gave a shocked expression and she laughs "It's the sad truth." She tells me.
"Well you actually scared me though." I told her seriously. she was staring into my eyes, and I think she believes me.
"So you do actually care?" She says batting her eyelashes at me, obviously mocking what I saiid before. I roll my eyes at her antics.
"Pft no. You were surrounded by sand and you were calling out my name. You sounded angry at first but then you started clawing the air around your throat and you said my name kinda like you were scared. I told North to get Sandy and i think he went on the sleigh or thorough a portal to go get him. He told me to stay here and watch you." I tell her. She moves her hand to her necks, tenderly touching it but then she winces. Now I look closer, it seems kinda like it's beginning to bruise. "You're hurt." I note pulling her hand away from her neck. she struggles against me but she can't break free.
"It's fine." She tells me with a distant look in her eyes.
"What happened." I asked. Lilly seemed to be really pissed off at me, because she stood up and yanked her hand out of my grasp.
"I don't have to tell you anything!" She yells. Can you believe her? What an idiot.
"Do you even know who Pitch Black is? He dangerous and he got inside your head." I say tapping on my own head for added effect.
"Why do you even care? You shouldn't! You have no reason to!"
You know, she's right. I have no reason to care so why should I?
"As much as we don't like each other, we're on the same side, we fight for children! We, the guardians protect them all! Isn't that what you are about too?" I shout back at her. Tears began to form in the corners of her eyes, I though she was tougher then this?
"No, they don't care! Two children once asked for their help, and one ended up dying! How could they protect all children when they just let one die! I am not on their side!" She shouts. No, that's not true, what kinds of bull is this
"They wouldn't do that! We protect children in every way we can! So that means you're on Pitches and Deaths side?" I shout, getting closer with each yell.
"I'm on no-ones side." She yells, before her emotion changes from and her to confusion. "How Do you know about Death?" She asks.
"Manny told us that Pitch and Death were rising." I tell her. She might as well know, she is going to be a guardian. Lilly gasps and touches her neck again. "You saw him didn't you? He did I that didn't he?"
"Yes. At first you gripped my throat but then you, well he morphed into the form of Death. He said something to be before I woke up."
"What was it?" I ask.
"See you soon my flower." She says, before shivering. He must have said it I a really weird what, I can't believe him. I can't believe me! What am I saying?
"Oh wow." I say awkwardly. I don't know how to react to that.
"You aren't jealous are you?" She whispers sight placing both hands on my shoulder so she can whisper in my ear.
"No of course not! Like you said I have no reason to be. And where is North." I ramble on trying to get off the subject. I'm sure she was about to keep it going but North burst into the room.
"I'm back!" North bursts through the door along with Sandy, Tooth and Bunny. Sandy makes his way over to Lilly, checking for more nightmare sand.
"I'm fine Sandy." But Sandy shook his head. He put some symbols above his head and She seemed to understand him.
"Yes, I've know what it was. I've had the conversation with the Snowman already." She says sarcastically pointing to me
"I'm not a Snowman!" I counter.
"Oh really? Would you melt if I put you in the oven?" She taunts.
"I don't know." I say. Would I really melt. I'm then pulled out of my thoughts when she grabs my hand. She feels so warm...I hate it.
"And you are dreadfully cold. Who's to say you're not?"
"I'm not a snowman." I say and she sighs in defeat. Yea! Jack 1, Daisy 0.
"Yeah you're right. You're a snow boy, you aren't manly enough to be a snowman."
"Hey!" I shout! "I'm older then you!" In all honesty I don't know why I said that, it just felt right. She folds her arms and rolls here eyes.
"Not by much." She says before sticking her tongue out at me, so I do the same.
"Would you two stop acting like kids!" Tooth says an we both shut up. North suddenly has a shocked expression on his face.
"What did you do to wall?" He says pointing at the cracked piece of wall where I think I got knocked into
"Lilly?" North says looking at her.
"Hey! I didn't do it...on purpose." She says running the back of her neck nervously.
"It's true North. She accidentally knocked me into the wall while she was asleep." I tell North, backing her up.
"Come with me." He beckons for her to follow him and she does.
"Bloody oath mate. What did the Sheila do to ya?" Bunny asks gesturing to the wall.
"I think she tried to break my back, while she was asleep." I say stretching it out.
"Crikey mate. Better watch out." Bunny warns with a smirk.
"What does that mean?" I ask mainly talking about the sneaky smirk on his face.
"Just, watch what moves you pull on her. She's a feisty one." He says, fake punching the air.
"Wasn't planning on it." I smirk.
