Slender Man Part 5

Plan: Prank Puck

Day 1: The introductions

"Ah shuddup Frostbite, I'm tryin' ta' focus here!"

"Hey, I'm just setting the mood!"

"We ain't in a spy movie Popsicle."

"So? Doesn't mean I can't make it sound like one, now stop interrupting!"

The introductions

Pitch, Bunny, and the amazingly awesome Jack Frost have combined their superior powers –

"Frost, be quiet."

"Aw, come on Pitch, I'm-"

"Yes, yes, setting the mood. But, we don't need to set the mood; we need to get into our positions."

"Oh, yeah! Let's go!" All of a sudden, the previously bored spirit burst out of the bushes, hurtling himself to where Puck's forest boundaries were located.

Bunny groaned, "I'm not in my spot yet! The bloody show pony!"

"Alright, just go now, we can discuss Jack's tendency for the extreme at a later date. GO!"

With this, Bunny opened a tunnel, and hopped through to the other side of the woods, and repeated Jack's strategy, hopping toward the middle of the forest.

Robin Goodfellow prized himself on his security system. Nets, holes, and more were spread around the outer edge of the trees, and he had even stolen some mortal technology that beeped when something passed it. He wasn't sure how else to use it, so he had placed it near the back path in case anyone dared to trespass. And then of course, there was the fact that the forest was his "safe haven," though he wasn't sure why he, being the amazing person that he was, would need it. This was why he had decided to make the boundaries just a bit smaller, hoping to catch unsuspecting immortals. It was always a ton of fun to catch them… And not let them go!

Yes, he had a great security system. This was why when he heard pounding feet he sat up and grabbed his dagger, preparing to trap yet another spirit in his forest.

Jack bounded through the trees, unable to fly considering he had left his staff in the care of Pitch. He cocked his head at this as a random thought floated through his head. "You're trusting Pitch?" but, then his food nearly caught in a rope, and he narrowed his focus. He couldn't be bothered with thinking about his relationships with people while making his way through the minefield that was Puck's home. He quietly counted under his breath, "Thirty-five, thirty-six, thirty-seven…" making sure he was synchronized with the plan. Hmm... Five nets down, a couple holes, and that spear that almost rammed into his head. Yup, right on schedule. He was nearing the center of the woods. Ooooh, Robin would be getting it!

Jack hadn't been joking when he said that Puck had upgraded his security since the last time Bunny was there.

"Shhhtch." Another net successfully avoided.

Bunny had settled into a comfortable lope, dodging all the traps they had discussed the day before.

"BEEEEEEEEEEEEPPPPPPPPPPPPPP." Well, that was new. Ah well, about time Puck knew he was there.

With the annoying beeping sound in the background, the Pooka finally made it to the edge of the so called "safe haven." His sensitive ears picked up Jack's footsteps on the other side.

Bunny let out a dark chuckle. It was time for the acting to begin.

Pitch prepared his costume, forming the blank white face and business suit needed for the prank. Though, the boogeyman thought, the plan for revenge had escalated, and might not be classified as a mere prank anymore. A casual glance around to make sure he hadn't forgotten anything, revealed Jack's staff where he had left it, leaning up against a tree. For a second Pitch looked at it and thought "Why did Jack leave that with me?" but then, he simply grabbed it, tucking it under the suit. He didn't have time to bother asking why the teen had left it with him - of all people.

A loud beep filled the air. Pitch assumed that one of the others had set off an alarm. Well, if Puck hadn't noticed them before now, he sure would. Oh, yes, the fairy would be getting it.

Puck wasn't worried. So, someone thought that they would sneak into his woods? Oh, they would rue the day they messed with him!

At least these were his thoughts until a loud beep filled the air. Two people? There was no way only one person would have been able to set off the alarm and be running toward him from the left. Okay, two immortals, twice the fun! He'd have a ton of fun simply trapping two at once!

He prepared himself, grabbing the net he'd use to catch the intruders. A smirk crossed his face. This was almost too easy! They were running right toward him! He crouched down, getting into position.

He hadn't been expecting Jack Frost. He definitely hadn't expected to see the Easter Bunny- on this side of the century!

But, whether or not he had expected them, there they were. There was something odd about them… Oh, wait, since when did Frost have black hair? Or, the Rabbit with black fur? Oh, they were probably going to a Halloween party or something. The stupid Guardians and their parties… His musings were interrupted by Frost. The winter spirit had been hurtling full speed toward Puck, and all of a sudden there was a clear wall in front of him. Instead of stopping the teen seemed to speed up. There was a "ba-boom" and Frost fell to the ground. Then another sound, extremely similar to the last, was heard on Puck's right. Now the rabbit? What had gotten into those buffoons?

Both immortals stood, swaying just a bit. In creepy synchronization they backed up, and ran at the wall again. Puck's net lay forgotten at his feet as he watched the two Guardians ram themselves into the barrier.

Puck was just about to start yelling at the intruders when they stood, stiff as boards, and twisted their bodies, walking robot-like toward a figure that had stood unnoticed as Robin had watched the spectacle.

Another one? What was wrong with the world today? Intruders in his forest, Guardians making fools of themselves! Yes, something was wrong.

"HEY! YOU! THE ONE IN THE BLACK! GET OUT OF MY FOREST!"

A creepy chuckling came from Frost and the Rabbit. Once again acting in unison they spoke,

"And just why would I do that? No, not when I could recruit another slave. Come with me Robin Goodfellow, and you'll have another life!"

Okay, Puck was officially freaked out. The tall, skinny figure hadn't moved a mouth, yet was speaking to him? With some of his enemies none the less. A whimper escaped his lips. He could feel something very very wrong right now.

"No-o-o way du-u-de." Great, now his voice was shaky.

A creepy laugh filled his ears.

"Oh, don't worry; you will want to join us after we are done with you!"

And, with that all three figures stalked forward, heading right toward Puck.

North flicked his reins, moving as fast as he could. Why, oh why didn't he read the letter before this? If he had calculated correctly Pitch, Bunny, and Jack had been at it for three days already. He hoped he could save Puck before they ruined his sanity.

A gaping hole in the trees now stood as a gift from North's reindeer.

"Bah, you deer need to be more focused, and not run into trees!"

All of the reindeer snorted, and shook their heads.

"Bah!"

North turned, once again focusing on the job at hand. He needed to find those three trouble makers.

It only took about five minutes to find them. All the high pitched cackling might have helped.

There wasn't much left of Puck's camp. All of his personal items seemed to be lying outside of his boundaries and all of his furniture and tents were piled together, forming a fort that he seemed to be hiding in. Bunny, Jack, and what North assumed was Pitch were sitting outside of the wall, laughing maniacally.

North face palmed, and pulled his hand through his hair. A loud sigh was heard, and the trio turned, wide-eyed toward the sound. Their expressions (well not Pitch's) were like children caught stealing cookies from the cookies jar. North had to hold in laughter at the sight. With another sigh, he put on his most severe face, reserved mostly for trouble making elves. A few giant steps carried him to the group. No one moved, too scared of North at the moment. Booming loudly North asked,
"And, just what do you three think you are doing?" There was no expression of amusement in his face. Pitch slowly let his disguise fall away, and Jack carefully grabbed the now visible staff, set on making a run for it. North's voice stopped that thought.

"You three are in huge trouble. You have been pranking Puck, have you not? You are all on naughty list!" All in attendance flinched. Puck slowly rose from his fort, gaping at the sight of North.

Nobody commented.

North was about to continue his lecture when Jack and Bunny's fur caught his notice.

"And just why is your hair black?!"

Both Jack and Bunny exchanged looks. Jack quietly answered, "Uh, hair dye?" A questioning tone was directed at North.

Another sigh. What could he do with these three? With that thought, he slowly looked around, and the trio leaned away from him. His eyes had lit up with an idea, and in this case it could only be a bad thing for them.

North slowly ground out his words,

"You. Three. Are. Grounded."

A.N. Ha-ha ! Yes, I did it! They are in so much trouble!

As previously mentioned, I will be continuing this with a separate arc.

So sorry for the long wait, school, chores, etc. …. Yeah that's my excuse.

Hopefully I'll get White Wings going by Thursday, but if I don't, don't be surprised.

Thanks to all you readers! You rock!
