v\"I think this is great story to tell, but it's best if we bring her back to the pole." North says, and I nod, moving to pick up the nature spirit but Bunny had beat me to it.
"It's right mate. I got her." He says lifting the light girl off the marble stone floor and into his giant fuzzy arms. Part of me, kinda wished that I got to hold her, but the majority of me wanted to draw with a permanent marker on her face.
Though, if this was a other situation, I would probably do that, but considering she just faced off against Pitch and Death, practically by her self, I think I'll let it slide...just this once.
"The poor girl," tooth mutters placing a sad hand on my shoulder, "she went though so much to be rid of him, but now he's back. Who know what she'll go though to get him to go away too." She says hovering off towards the Red wooden sleigh.
What did she mean 'she went through so much to be rid of him'? Him who? Him as in Death? There must have been something I had missed a long time ago, maybe. I don't know, I'm really confused right now.
And another thing that was bothering me was, why did Pitch attack the tooth palace for a second time. Surely it would have been thought out better than just retrying an old plan that we've already been faced with right? I know Pitch is an idiot but this was plain stupid. What was the alteria motive behind the attack?
I head for the sleigh as well, this just doesn't make sense. We've seen his attack on the palace before, but this time, he had help and Lilly practically took Tom out and protected the baby teeth all by herself.
Doesn't that sound strange to you?
"You coming Jack?" North calls, and I float into the sleigh and sit back with Bunny, Lilly and Sandy, whilst tooth rides up front with North.
It's still confusing me as to Pitched motive behind the attack, it just kept wracking at my brain.
"Why would he attack the palace again?" Bunny mutters to Sandy and I.
Sandy gives a small shrug and a question mark appears on his head, "you said it Sandy." I say leaning back into the seat.
...
At the Pole
...
Bunny hopped out of the wooden painted sleigh and headed towards my room. I tried to follow after, but North approached me.
"Jack, just leave Bunny to do it." He says with his thick Russian accent.
I wanted to protest, but Sandy and Tooth had already began walking into the globe room, so I followed in pursuit.
A think silence hung in the air, probably so think that you could cut it with a knife. Tooth sat sadly on her chair, and Sandy looked down from his small cloud at me, with an expression that tells me that I almost don't want to know the truth.
What happened between Lilly and the guardians that caused her to hate them? It would have been something pretty awful.
"What did you guys do...?" I question with a hushed voice. Tooth looks from Sandy, to North, then to Bunny, who just emerge red the room.
"It looks like she'll be sleeping for a while. Poor little bugger. She've used so much energy fighting him off." He says sitting down besides Tooth. She had guilt painted across her slightly feathered face.
"Jack..." She whispered, and it bugs me how cautious they're being around this. "We did a terrible thing."
I look at her with wide eyes, what could they have done?
"I think we all regret it now." Bunny adds in, before Tooth sighed.
"We'll tell you Jack, but, I don't think you're going to like it." She says. These guys were stalling. I could read that look all over their faces, that didn't want to either recall it, or let me know what they had done. Everyone's gaze tens downward, North, Sandy, Bunny...they all looked like they were preparing for a stab to the heart.
Tooth guides me over to the couch and sit me down, with her sitting next to me.
"It all happened 100 years ago..."
