SUPER EMBARRASING: I SPENT SO MUCH TIME LOOKING FOR MISTAKES IN MY LAST CHAPTER I DIDN'T THINK TWICE ABOUT MY SIGNATURE...
I SPELLED MY OWN NAME WRONG
SHLEBY...HOPEFULLY I GET IT RIGHT TODAY :)
Please review :)
For once in over a thousand years, the workshop was quiet.
Instead of the loud commotion of yetis making toys, the gentle giants were just simply tinkering quietly. Even the elves were staying out of trouble, the bunch of them sitting around the dim fire and nibbling cookies.
The loudest sound was one yeti, walking swiftly towards the medbay.
Her name was Dana.
She was one of the dozen female yetis at the pole, but she was the most trained female in medical emergencies and situations.
The medbay of the pole was usually very quiet, often vacant besides the few yetis of elf that got in a minor accident.
In Dana's arms was a clipboard with a few empty sheets of paper and a pen. Balancing on the edge of the board was a medium/small sized box.
This is stupid.
I should be helping the Guardians! I just slowed them down...
They don't stand a chance against...Pitch Black without me!
Then again...Pitch did manage to-...take me down. But that was a surprise attack! Now i'll have the upper hand because he won't be expecting me.
Gritting her teeth, Jackie slowly sat up.
Dana couldn't believe her eyes. She had helped the other yetis stitch up the girl, bandage her body, and give her sleeping medication.
But...the frost child was nowhere to be seen.
The clipboard, pen, papers and rape kit slipped out of her arms with a thud.
Jacqueline Frost was gone...the window open.
Flying without my staff...not as easy as I thought it would be.
I had no clue where my staff was, whether it was broken or not.
The wind more or less carried me, cradling me with a cold gentle breeze.
I had no idea where the wind was taking me, but after a few minutes of flying, it finally set me down on the window sill of a familiar house.
Jamie's room.
"Okay...so you and me are what they call...cross roads. I have believed in you for a really long time...my whole life in fact! So you kinda owe me this. All I need is a sign...a sign that your real!" Jamie said, speaking to a stuffed rabbit on his bed.
Jacqueline watched with shock as Jamie muttered something then pushed the bunny toy off the bed.
Wincing, Jacqueline raised up her sore arms and coated the window of the boys room with a thin layer of frost.
Jamie turned toward the window, eyes wide. An Easter egg was being drawn in the frost by an unseen hand.
Jamie gasped as a bunny was being drawn in the thin frost. "H-Hes real." He whispered.
Suddenly the Bunny popped off the window, jumping around the room, then bursting into snow. One of the small snowflakes landed on Jamie's nose tip, reminding the boy of what his mother had said to him earlier.
"Jacqueline Frost." Jamie gaped, eyes wide.
Jackie froze. (Pun not intended. Nope totally intended. Sorry not sorry)
"You-...You said my name!" Jackie cried out, voice raspy.
Jamie turned around and stared where Jacqueline was standing.
"Wait...C-Can you hear me?! Can you...Can yo-you see me?!" Jackie shrieked.
Jamie nodded slowly before saying, "A-Are you okay?"
Jackie looked down at herself. She wore pair of charcoal gray fabric shorts, legs and arms rapped in bandages. She did not have a shirt on, but her chest was covered in thick gauze, mid stomach to armpit.
"I'm...I'm okay. B-But you need to come with me." Jackie answered.
"Why?" Jamie asked.
"The Guardians, er-the Easter Bunny, Santa Clause and the Tooth Fairy need you." Jacqueline answered quickly, coughing a little.
"They're...They're all real?" Jamie perked up a little.
Jacqueline nodded, "Yeah, but they need you and your friend's belief. Children believing in them gives them power to fight Pitch Black."
Jamie frowned, "Pitch who?"
"Pitch Black." Jackie bit her lip. "Hes a...very bad man. He killed the Sandman and...hurt me very badly...Hes also known as-as the Boogeyman, the guy who gives you bad dreams."
"Is...Is that why everyone has been getting nightmares?" Jamie asked curiously.
Jacqueline nodded. "Yeah, but we need to hurry, get your friends, and help power the Guardians again."
Jamie nodded with a wide grin, "Lets do this!"
New chapter coming soon :)
