ChapterTwo
Jack had let Aedan in, wondering what the Guardians would say about her. He showed her to the meeting room, and the others stared at her. They noticed that she had a look that looked like she was embarrassed. "Jack, who's this?" Tooth asked with an odd look. Bunny stood up and walked over to her and looked her over.
(Aedan's POV)
I entered a strange room, and the Guardians, the actual Guardians, were in there. I wasn't really thinking about that though. I was thinking about my embarrassing introduction to Jack. The over-sized kangaroo looking one walked over to me. I looked down at his feet, and they looked like rabbit feet. I looked at his facial features, and he had a rabbit nose, rabbit ears, but he was as big as a kangaroo. It was bugging me, so I asked. "Are you a kangaroo or a bunny?" He suddenly got this look of annoyance. Jack chuckled a cute little laugh and the oversized...whatever said, "I'm a bunny." I got this feeling that he was a bit annoyed, so I backed off. I was then greeted by hands jerking at my lips. "Your teeth are splendid! Almost as good as Jack's." My eyebrow raised. "Almost?" Jack smiled and walked up to me. "Don't worry about it." "Why are you here?" Bunny asked. "I was sent here by my father to find him a wife." I didn't think I should mention the Guardian thing. Tooth looked at me with a look of confusion. "Well, we have our own problems, terribly sorry." I didn't pay any attention to her. "Tooth! Why are you acting so strange?" Jack asked. She shook her head and left the room calling for North. "Nice meeting you!" I called out the door in a sarcastic tone.
I felt a little finger poking me. I turned and looked and saw a golden man with hair that looked as if it was made of golden sand. He moved his hands in a motion as if he was asking a question. Then, there was a question mark made of the golden sand above his head. I guessed hat he was asking who I was. " I'm Aedan Blaze, princess of Sa-" I was cut off by Jack's laughing. I looked over at him and he suddenly straitened up. "Sorry, it's just funny how you introduce yourself." He held out his hand as if to tell me remember? I nodded and turned back to the sandman. I smiled and held out my hand. "Aedan Blaze." He took my hand and smiled. "His name is Sandy" Jack said. I turned to the bunny and asked. "You?" He held out his hand and said, "Bunnymund." I smiled and shook his hand. I then heard voices out the door. One soft, trying to calm down the other voice, which was deep, Russian, and angry. I found myself frozen in place, not able to move. The door opened and I saw a big guy in red, two tattoos (that I could see). One was the word Nice and one was Naughty. So, this was North.
(Jack's POV)
I watched Aedan introduce herself to Bunny, then I heard Tooth and North down the hallway. He was probably mad at me for letting Aedan in. I couldn't leave her out there, freezing cold... That moment when I looked into her dark green eyes, I saw a look of panic. I know I would have felt bad leaving her out there. I don't know why, but she was special. I looked over at Aedan to see her frozen in panic, staring at the door. The same panic I saw earlier. The door then suddenly opened. I saw North and Tooth in the doorway. North looked down at Aedan, then looked at me angrily. "Jack, what have you done?" I shrugged and looked at Aedan. I stood beside her and held her hand. I didn't want her to be scared. No one should really be scared of a big guy like North anyway. He's a softy. When I took her hand in mine, she suddenly relaxed. I looked at her face and saw it go bright pink. I couldn't help but smirk. "North, I couldn't leave her out in the cold, especially since she's the spirit of fire..." I then felt a very strong heat in my hand. I let jerked away in pain and looked at Aedan. She had the same look. "She's also the princess of Salamander." Aedan looked shocked and said, "Salamandrine!" she tried to be mad, but I think her hand hurt just as bad as mine. I then saw a scar on my hand. I swept my hand over it, and felt the same heat. I looked at Aedan, and she had a look of pain. She must have it too. "Are you two okay?" North asked. Aedan nodded and I said, "Just fine."
After introductions, I showed Aedan to her temporary room. North said she could only stay until she found a wife for her father. I feel like she's hiding something, but I don't think it's my place to ask. I gave her a blanket out of my room since I don't really need one. She gave me a small thanks and laid down on her bed. I turned off the light and left her room. I went to my room (which just happened to be beside hers). I laid down and stared out at the stars. I wondered if she was going to be okay. I thought how I was worried about her like she was my best friend, though we just met.
(Aedan's POV)
I took the blanket Jack gave me and mumbled a thanks. I laid down on the bed and covered myself up. I stared out the big window, then Jack turned out the lights. I thought about earlier that day, when Jack found me. If it weren't for him, I probably would be dead. I looked out at he stars, then the moon. I looked at the big, round, bright sphere in the sky. I wondered if the stories were true about Jack. I wondered if he really saved his sister. I wonder if the moon really did save him. I kept myself up for a few hours, thinking about these things, these questions. I guess I fell asleep while I was thinking about Jack. The next thing I knew, the sun was warming my face. I was enjoying it when my hand suddenly burned. I quickly sat up, and saw Jack by the door. "Morning." He smiled his Jack smile and looked at his hand. "Does yours hurt, too?" I nodded. I got up and tried to walk out the door. He put his arm in the way. "Password?" He smirked. I gave him a serious look, but it broke. I laughed and tried to run passed it, but he wrapped his arm around me. "Password!" He laughed. I broke out in a giggle fest while he spun me around. "Jack, put me down!" I screamed. He just kept laughing. I elbowed him in the rib and ran out of his tight grip. I looked behind me to see Jack chasing after me. I screamed and laughed when I felt his hands on my hips. Then I tripped over something and fell, Jack with me. He fell on top of me and laughed. I looked up at him and he looked down at me. His face was really close to mine. I moved a patch of hair from his face. He smiled down at me. I then noticed that inside his eyes were snowflakes. "Wow..." I said. "What?" He looked at me, confused. "Your eyes..." I smiled. He smiled at me too. He leaned into me and we were really close to kissing. "Get a room, you two lovebirds." We heard an Australian voice say. I looked up and saw Bunny. I pushed Jack off of me and laughed. I could hear Jack laugh too.
