A/N Next chapter. Sarah makes her choice.
Disclaimer: I don't own rise of the guardians.
"Do you have any idea where Krampus is?" Sarah asked while she and Travis twirled around the ballroom. "The reapers caught him once; do they have any idea how to find him now? Before another child is taken?" It had occurred to her shortly after she had placed her hand on the ring, that she had no idea where Krampus was and if she wanted this half-cocked plan to have a chance of working, she would need to find Krampus before he figured out, she was back on earth.
Ergo the questions. She didn't bother to hide her motives. There would have been no point not after the panic she'd exhibited not thirty seconds before.
Still, she needed to know if their plan was an actual plan, or if their plan was 'Wait till he grabs another child."
Cause while she understood that plan. It didn't mean it was a good plan. If that was what the Grim and Guardians were planning, she was going to take Travis's ring right then and there and look for Krampus herself. Damn the Consequences.
"From what I heard, they have a few places that they know Krampus would like to hang out in," Travis said. Clearly seeing something, on Sarah's face, that told him that things would be worse for him than if he just gave her the information. He turned her around again, and again.
"Yeah," Sarah said. She twisted Travis's ring, still indecisive, while Travis picked her up and twirled her around and set her down. Discombobulating her for only a second before she continued, desperate not to be sidetracked. "Like where?"
Travis decided that this was a good time to try and dip her. "Nice Try." He said grinning at her as she stared up at his face wide-eyed, worried he caught on to her plan, but then he elaborated.
"Like you won't use whatever information you have of the situation to manipulate us." He said as he slowly straightened her again.
Sarah huffed, "Please." She said trying desperately not to use her powers (Because it would a) not work and b) cause her to lose any and all trust she had.) "Just… I need to know, so I don't panic for the next 12 days."
Travis stopped dancing and looked back at Dylan. It had been two years since she had met them and she still had absolutely no idea if they were significant others, friends, or twins, but what she did know is that Dylan and Travis both seemed to have the ability to communicate using their eyes.
Whatever Travis and Dylan communicated they must have agreed in Sarah's favour because Travis turned around and said: "According to Amelia, Krampus likes hanging out somewhere dark. Where not even the moonbeams can find him."
It made sense, easier to do something bad when no one can catch you doing it. Sarah nodded, "And the Grims know of a few places that are like that? Can enter the places that are like that?"
Travis and Dylan rolled their eyes. "Obviously. We wouldn't be very good reapers if we couldn't access every single place on earth. There are quite a few places that Krampus could be, so it will take a while, but I assure you, the reapers plan is not 'wait and see what happens.' Travis told her spinning her around.
"Good," Sarah said, she stopped twisting the ring. Maybe she could wait 1 day, given the reapers a chance to find Krampus first.
After all what good would escaping do if she couldn't find Will before Krampus found her?
So Sarah made a choice. Do you agree with it?
