Disclaimer: I don't own anyone besides Emma
Em Pov
Em ran into a small courtyard, and collapsed on the ground, sobbing. She felt more broken inside then she ever had before in her life.
"I miss you, Papa." she whispered. wiping away her tears as she looked around. The courtyard she had come to was covered in white snow, and the trees were hanging with beautiful icec droplets. A frozen waterfall was at one side, while there were weeping willows all around her. She smiled at the beauty, knowing that this was something her father would have loved.
"Em!?" she heard her mother's frantic cry. Elsa ran into the room, followed by Jackson and Emma. She spotted Em sitting on the ground in the snow, and quickly went to her, enveloping her in a tight hug.
"Oh baby." she whispered. Em melted into her mother's embrace.
"Are you alright?" Emma asked, and Jackson nodded, looking at her with concern.
"I'm okay. Just a bit worked up about the others in there. They used to be my father's strongest believers." Em said, smiling slightly. Emma took her hand, and held it, smiling back, while Jackson put a comforting hand on her arm.
Main Room POV
The Burgess teens looked around, confused, after Em ran out of the room sobbing. They were especially confused at what Pitch had said.
"You guys didn't do anything bad to Em, did you?" Jamie asked, and Tooth smiled brightly at him.
"Of course not!" she said. Anna was seething on the other side of the room, but before she did anything rash, a bright white light lit up the room. When it faded, Mother Nature was standing in the room.
"Where's Elsa?" she asked, and at that moment, the family entered the room. Em looked at the older woman fearfully.
"What happened?" she asked.
"I'm here to bring Elsa with me." Mother Nature said, and Elsa placed an arm around Em's shoulders.
"I'm not leaving Em." she said fiercely.
"I'm sorry, but I can only bring you." Mother Nature replied. Jackson stepped forward, and stood next to Em.
"I'll keep her safe, Elsa. You go to Jack." he said gently. Elsa looked at him gratefully, and kissed Em's cheek, wrapping her in a tight hug.
"I'll be back with Papa soon, snowflake." she said, slowly letting her go, and disappeared along with Mother Nature. Em sighed, and sat down. Jackson sat on one side of her, with a protective arm around her shoulders. Emma sat on her other side.
"Should we continue the movie?" Pitch asked, and the screen glowed with light.
INT. JAMIE'S BEDROOM - NIGHT
Jamie plays with a TOY ROBOT as DRAWINGS AND CHARTS of
mystery creatures hang on the wall behind him: UFO's, aliens,
Bigfoot, you name it. There's even a drawing of Jamie flying
in midair on his sled.
JAMIE (O.S.)
...I did this jump and it was
amazing and I slide under a car and
it was awesome! Then I was flying
down this hill and I was like
whoosh, whoosh, whoosh through all
these cars, and then the sled hit
this, this thing, and I was like
way up in the air.
The Burgess teens snickered at their friend's younger self, while Jamie blushed. Sophie grinned at her brother.
"You looked so funny." she said, and this made the others laugh harder.
He mimes flying in the air with his robot, then CRASHING to
the bed as Sophie and their dog sit listening-
JAMIE
- and then BAM! The sofa hit me,
and, and see?
(opens mouth, tries to say
`my tooth came out!)
Ah hoo hay ow!
We reveal JAMIE'S MOM in the room. Sophie LAUGHS and tries
to stick a finger in the gap in his gums.
"Sophie! That's so unhygienic!" Tooth said, looking disgusted. Em, despite her grave situation, laughed. Jackson grinned at her, and Emma gigged.
JAMIE'S MOM
Alright you, tooth under your
pillow?
Jamie sets the TOY ROBOT on his nightstand, then grabs a
stuffed rabbit next to his pillow to reveal a CAMERA AND
FLASHLIGHT.
JAMIE
Yeah. I'm ready.
JAMIE'S MOM
Now don't stay up trying to see
her, Jamie, or she won't come.
JAMIE
But I can do it this time! You
wanna help me, Soph? We can hide
and see the Tooth Fairy!
"Sandy would've sent some Dreamsand to send you to sleep, Jamie." Bunny said, and Jamie blushed even more.
"Can we please finish this scene?" he asked sheepishly, and Em grinned wickedly.
"But this scene is so much fun!" she said, and Jamie glared at her, while she shrugged.
SOPHIE
(CRAZED)
Hide, hide, hide, hide!
Jamie's Mom picks Sophie up off the bed and lifts her over
her shoulder. Their dog gets up and begins licking Jamie's
face.
JAMIE'S MOM
Uh uh, straight to bed now, mister.
JAMIE
Mom...
...We see Jack Frost, outside, hanging upsidedown watching
them through the window. A pang. The glass frosts over.
EXT. ROOF OF JAMIE'S HOUSE - CONTINUOUS
Jack flips onto the roof, a little pensive. He makes his way
toward the roof's peak and looks up at the MOON, in full
view. It lights up the night sky.
"Papa's rant." Em whispered. Pitch and Sandy looked at her sympathetically. Kristoff and Anna glanced at their niece with concern.
JACK
If there's something I'm doing
wrong, can you, can you just tell
me what it is?
(NO RESPONSE)
Because I've tried everything, a
no one ever sees me.
"I can see him." Emma piped up, and Em smiled at the younger girl, putting her arm around her.
"And because of you, Emma, my papa may live." she said. The Burgess kids looked at each other with confusion. Who was dying? Who was Em's father?
(NO RESPONSE)
You put me here, the least you can
do is tell me, tell me why.
A beat. The Moon shines silently down. Jack turns away in
frustration. Jack leaps off the roof, onto a telephone pole, and begins
walking across some telephone wires. A stream of Dreamsand
suddenly zips by behind him, then another, which swoops
around in front of him. Jack turns and looks up, a smile now
on his lips.
"My favorite part of bedtime. Papa would take me out flying around Mama's palace, and we would look at the Dreamsand, and when I fell asleep, Papa would bring me back to my room. It was the best." Em said, smiling slightly. Sandy grinned proudly.
JACK
Right on time, Sandman.
The Dreamsand descends from the sky, and drifts into windows
around the town. Jack runs along the telephone wire until he
can reach out and intercept one of the passing streams. An
adjacent stream takes the shape of a dolphin which turns
toward Jack, before continuing on its way to a waiting child.
Then, we follow one of the streams into a window...
INT. CUPCAKE'S BEDROOM - BURGESS
Dreamsand floats into a window, where CUPCAKE is in bed,
hugging a stuffed unicorn in her sleep. The Dreamsand swirls
over her head, and morphs into a little girl riding a
unicorn. The girl smiles at the lovely dream as it flies
around the room.
Cupcake grinned, loving her dreams.
Then the room darkens as a wispy, shadowy figure with a
familiar laugh crawls out from under the bed, and rises up.
It's Pitch. He notices Cupcake's dream.
PITCH
Ohhhh, I thought I heard the
clippity-clop of a unicorn. What
an adorable dream!
Em laughed.
"I never thought you would say clippity-clop." she told her uncle. Pitch smirked.
"Neither did I." he responded. Sandy laughed silently at his counterpart, along with Kristoff, Anna, and their twins.
His face softens, seemingly moved...
PITCH
(leans down to Cupcake)
And look. At. Her. Precious
child. So sweet, so full of hope
and wonder. Why, there's only one
thing missing...a touch of fear.
Pitch reaches into Cupcake's dream, and touches a bony finger
to the unicorn. It turns ashen and black, and disintegrates.
Cupcake flinches in her sleep. Pitch snickers, delighted.
Pippa placed an arm around her friend, who was shaking slightly. Jamie glared at the so-called Nightmare King, at least, in his eyes.
"How can you do that with joy to children?" he asked, and Em returned the teen's glare with an icy one of her own, even if it was not directed at her.
"I have not hurt a child in ten years, Jamie Bennet. Why would I find joy in that? It was my job, much like your so-called guardians over there." Pitch said, and Jamie looked over to the Guardians in his eyes, confusion obvious.
PITCH
Hahaha! That never gets old!
Pitch swirls the Dreamsand around and it all turns into black
corrupted Nightmare sand.
PITCH
Feel your fear. Come on. Come on,
that's right.
The black sand morphs into a horrific, shadowy bucking horse -
a NIGHTMARE.
"THey've looked better." Kristoff said, and Pitch nodded.
"They were some of my first." he said.
PITCH
Yesss. What a pretty little
Nightmare.
Gleefully, he grabs the Nightmare's mane -
PITCH
Now, I want you to go tell the
others the wait is over.
- and sends it out the window, where it joins a posse of
other Nightmares coursing through the streets. They take off
and fly into the night sky.
EXT. BURGESS - NIGHT
Pitch steps out into the street from an adjacent alley,
avoiding the rays of moonlight. He looks up to the sky and
stares at the MOON.
PITCH
Don't look at me like that, old
friend. You must have known this
day would come. My Nightmares are
finally ready. Are your Guardians?
"Yes!""No." Jamie and Em met eyes after speaking at the same time. While Jamie attempted to look innocent and unfazed, Em didn't try to hide anything. Her glare was the coldest, and many felt the temperature drop. When Jamie looked away, Em grinned in triumph.
"That's what I thought." she thought, and the movie went into the next scene, and the temperature went back to normal.
Please review!
Sorry for the wait.
Now, I won't be updating for a while, because Christmas is coming. I hope you all have fun!
Feliz Navidad, Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year!
God Bless us, everyone!
