Heyyy! Chapter 10 is here! Double digits XD Ok Ok I'm lost so start reading!
"North, Bunny, Tooth, Sandy!" The children cried as they ran towards the guardians, except for Jamie who was sulking in a criss-cross position on his bed.
The guardians laughed and giggled as they thought the children were fine, but when the kids all looked at the guardians, their eyes were filled with fear and sadness. Bunny and North scooped the children up all in one swoop and plopped them on Jamie's bed with him.
"We know, your here cause you want us to go with you to see Jack." Monty scowled.
"Well fact is, we're not going anywhere!" Claude said.
"Especially not after what that stinking teenager said to Jamie!" Cupcake growled.
The guardians groaned and sighed. They were afraid of this. They couldn't really blame them of course. What they saw was something a ten year old shouldn't see. But the guardians needed them, they could be their one shot of bringing Jack back.
Bunny was thinking on being nice but instead he felt like taking on a tougher approach, it was something he was good at. "Don't tell me you've given up hope for Frostbite!" Bunny snarled. "We need you! Do you realize that you guys could be the one shot we have getting Jack back?" Bunny hissed at the children.
The children were taken aback and silenced.
"I don't know what to hope for now..." Jamie said, Pippa giving him a tender rub on the shoulder.
The guardians couldn't counter with that. They were getting schooled and stumped by ten year old kids. They hoped that they wouldn't lose their lovable faith though.
"By the way, how did Jack end up like that?" Cupcake announced as everyone looked at each other.
The guardians never wanted to revisit that memory of how it all started but they knew it was best for the children if they knew the truth. So they began from the very beginning, battling Pitch and watching Jack being captured and forced to take a shot and Baby Tooth getting paralyzed. Then they told the kids in a very descriptive matter on how Jack was going insane and how they had to keep him in restrains. How he broke free, fled to the lake, and the kids commented on how they found him and shared their story. The guardians were almost shedding tears hearing what happened with Jamie's encounter with Jack.
After all was said and done, everyone in the room was crying. Even Bunny and North while Sandy was blotting away golden tears with a silky gold handkerchief. Tooth had already shed gallons of tears and was trying to blink them away, everyone was afraid that she would run out of them.
"I feel terrible..." Jamie wailed.
"Aw man Jay, your gonna be on the naughty list for sure!" Clause said.
"Ditto." North replied to Clause glaring at him. (He wasn't gonna put him on...)
Jamie continued to cry, "A-and how I said all those mean things and he w-was in pain a-and..." Jamie croaked, choking on parts of the sentence. His throat felt like it was closing the gap, it was getting so hard to breath it was unbearable. He gagged. Never had Jamie felt so guilty before about anything.
Cupcake tried smiling pretty to make Jamie feel better but even she couldn't hold back tears. Monty had to take off his glasses because they were getting wet.
Jamie then abruptly shooed everyone off of the bed and snatched his vest off of his desk chair. "If there's any chance of getting Jack back, I'm in. It's the least I can do for him now..." Jamie said sternly wiping away his sticky cheeks viciously.
The kids nodded in agreement and slid off the bed. Pippa grabbed her black jacket and her brown hat, adjusting it so it fit securely and perfectly. Cupcake threw on her boots recklessly without a care. The twins threw on their jackets, having to switch since they had mistaken each others for theirs and Monty, having no choice of showing cowardice, hastily zipped up his green jacket.
Jamie led his friends to the door, placing his hand on the brass doorknob and turned to the guardians. "Well, ya coming?" Jamie said in an orderly fashion that made the guardians smile and follow right behind him.
The guardians held the children close as they headed to the woods that was a monstrous white since it was layered upon layer with snow. The guardians eventually found the reindeer who were neighing with fear and trying to keep moving so as not to freeze to death. After the children piled in, Bunny bravely rode the airborne sleigh on the side.
After struggling to make it to the woods where Pitch's lair laid, the sleigh made a crash landing to the floor and the reindeer heaved to the ground in exhaustion, they snarled at their cruel master. The guardians and children jumped into the hole on instinct since it had been engrained into their muscle memory.
"You don't give up do you!?" A cool sneering voice rasped when everyone came tumbling down the rabbit hole. Evil Jack.
"We will never give up!" Jamie declared sternly.
Evil Jack rolled his eyes and made a disappointing scowl on his face. "Ugh... didn't I give a little pep talk to you squirt?"
Jamie bared his teeth.
"Alright Jack, we're not here to fight-" North began.
"Well I would think not!" Jack exasperatedly said. "You don't have anything to fight with, as I recall." Evil Jack mocked with utter sarcasm.
"Jack... if your there..." Tooth spoke up with her hands bound together and her violet eyes fixated on Jack's honey ones.
"For the last time you wretched fairy that Jack is not here and never will be! Your driving me crazy!" Evil Jack snarled.
Everyone growled. There had to be some way to get the frosted teenager back!
Evil Jack spoke, "Oh, you should know. I have had the orders to finish you. It will be quick and I will cherish this moment for the rest of my life."
Everyone gasped... and fled in separate directions with Evil Jack tailing one of them, hungry for some bloodcurdling action.
Sorry that it was so painfully short:(
But that won't matter since the next chapter will be the moment y'all been waiting for! The ultimatum of the story! It's going to be the next chapter people so bear through the cliffhanger cause the next chapter will be here in no time at all! XD
I had chapters stored before I posted so that's why they were out so fast.
