Sorry about the other short chapter, I was going to start writing the other part to it but I was afraid it might have been to long or I'm just getting lazy :P Well anyway, I promise to put my all in the chapters now! Also if you have any ideas for the story let me know! Ok thanks!
Jack
Kim holds on tight to me as we fly faster to the North Pole. I urge the winds to fly us faster. I pull Kim closer to me because it's getting colder as we fly north, not that I could help her to keep warm. I'm glad she's got a coat. Her fingers dig deep into my skin.
"Hey, where almost there ok?" I said trying to comfort her.
"Don't worry I'm fine." She says giving a fake smile. When Kim decided to hide, I thought Pitch had got ahold of her. Then when I found her I decided I couldn't wait any longer, I needed to tell the guardians. We finally reached the North Pole. I look around trying to find a way in and decide to go into a window. The workshop was busier then ever. The yetis hurry around us some of them waving friendly then going back to work. Toys I never even see before flies around the workshop. I look at Kim and her eyes are filled with wonder.
"Is this..?" She asks not finishing. I laugh at her astonishment.
"Ya, its North's workshop." I said confirming it. A yeti goes by her caring a load of toys. She moves out of the yeti's way.
"I thought the elves made the toys?" She said confused. I laughed again.
"We let them believe that." Someone said behind Jack and Kim. We turn and see North, big and Jolly as ever. But then he gives me a look.
"Jack, you know children are not aloud in the workshop. It will ruin it for them when Christmas comes!" He says accusingly. Kim looks at North with her eye's wide.
"North this is important. It's about Pitch." I said my voice lowered so only he could hear. North looks over to Kim, curious.
"And she is involved?" He asked. I nodded. North took one last look at Kim and went over to some Yetis and started talking to them privately.
"Jack." Kim said putting her hand on my shoulder.
"What's wrong? Why are we here?" She asked. I turned to her.
"Everything will be explained I promise." I say to her. She looks into my eyes. Her eyes looked like they where piercing right though me. Then she looked behind her. I turned around to and saw that North had pressed a button, making the aura lights stretch across the sky. North was summing the other guardians.
Kim
North insisted that he showed me around the shop. (Making sure my presents where hidden) We walked around looking at all the amazing toys flying around.
"Phil! What have I told you before? Paint it red!" North said to a yeti. I laughed as the yeti that North spoke to, slammed his head on the table. A couple of elves skittered underneath me looking up at me curiously. One of them stared at me and pointed at me. The other elf standing by him whacked him upside the head. I smirked at the elves and kept walking.
"So you are a friend of Jack, yes?" North asked.
"Ya." I said.
"Do you have feelings for Jack?" North asked. I stopped walking.
"Ah, what" I asked stunned that he could just ask that so…casually.
"I can tell that you like Jack, you can't hide that from me." North said. I start to blush a bit but I try to stop. Before I could say anything Jack comes flying to us.
"North, there here." Jack said.
"Ah! Good!" North says then walks off. I'm still in shock.
It feels like I've been in shock all day today I thought to myself, sighing. Then Jack turns to me and looks at me intently.
"What?" I ask him. He looks at me suspiciously.
"What where you guys talking about?" He said, his eyes narrowing and smiling.
"Nothing" I shrugged and followed after North quickly. I hear North and some other people talking to each other in another room.
"North, what are we doing here?" Asked an Australian voice.
"Jack, has meet a young girl and Jack says that Pitch wants something with her." I hear North say.
Pitch whose Pitch? Is there something Jack's not telling me? I thought to myself.
"Pitch? He's back!? What dose Pitch want with this girl?" A worried woman said.
Then before they could say anything else Jack came up behind me.
"I think we can go in now." Jack said with a small smile. The bit of worry in his eyes I saw earlier was definitely visible now. Then the door opened behind us.
"Ah, Jack, Kim, Come in!" North said. I walked in and Jack followed in after me. When I got into the room, there where three other people and my jaw dropped when I saw them. What I presumed to be the Easter bunny was about 6 feet tall and looked very intimidating. His fur was a dark and light mix of grey and it looked like there where dark patterns on his back. He had what looked liked boomerangs strapped onto his back.
"Good day mate." He said greeting me giving me a small nod. I give a small nod back. Then this huge looking hummingbird was floating in the middle of the room. Her feathers where a mix of colors green, purple, and yellow, but she had a face of a human. I guessed she must have been the tooth fairy. She flew over to me quickly.
"You have a beautiful smile!" She complemented coming uncomfortably close to my face.
"Oh! We even almost have the same eyes!" She says even coming closer yet. She was right, her eyes where also a violet, But hers where lighter then mine. Mine was a darker violet.
"Tooth, please try to keep fingers out of mouth this time?" North said chuckling. She looked like she was about to grab my face but flew away instead. I let out a sigh of relief. Then there was one more person standing in the room. But he was soundly asleep. I tilt my head a bit. This was obviously the sand man. He had yellow sand surrounding him, floating all over the room, and it looked like what he was wearing was also made of sand as well. North sighed,
"Someone wake up Sandy." He said, gesturing to the little man. The Tooth fairy flew over to the sandman and poked him on the shoulder lightly, but wouldn't wake up. Then she grabbed him by the shoulders and shook him a bit. Then the little man woke up. His eyes where still filled with sleep, but he gave me a small little wave. North then turned to Jack.
"So Jack what is this about Pitch?" North asked. I turned to him.
"Pitch? Who's that?" I asked accusingly to Jack, knowing this is probably what he's been hiding from me. North answered for Jack,
"Pitch, is a dark sprit. He makes children have bad dreams and spreads fear all over the world." He said. I just looked at him confused.
"So, he can cause bad dreams, so what?" I asked not thinking this Pitch guy was that big of a threat. The bunny turns to me seriously.
"He doesn't just cause bad dreams mate, he can cause mayhem around the world and if Pitch decided to, he can destroy the world with his fear." The rabbit said crossing his arms.
"Not only that," The tooth fairy added, "He can also cause wars and destruction. Humans can do some crazy things when there controlled by fear." The tooth fairy says. I stand there silent for a moment.
"And this Pitch guy wants me?" I asked. They all nodded. I turned to Jack and he stands there with his head down. I feel a shot of pain for him. No wonder Jack freaked out when I hid. He must have thought this Pitch guy got me.
"It's not the first time that Pitch has done something." North said.
Jack:
We told her our story about Pitch. How pitch stole the kid's memories, ruined Easter, and almost killed me. Kim looked uncomfortable when we talked about that. I didn't want Kim to be scared of Pitch, but she deserved to know the truth and know what we are going to be up against.
"I still don't know why Pitch want's me though." Kim said after we where done explaining. We all looked at each other.
"We don't either Shelia." Bunnymund said. North turns to me.
"When did you first see Pitch?" North asked. I told them all about the night I was at Kim's house. I told them I was returning her backpack to her when I saw Pitch in Kim's room, I didn't tell them I was watching Kim. I told them how Pitch was standing by the bed messing with her dreams. Then all of a sudden pictures where floating above the Sandman's head so fast that I couldn't see what they where. Kim looked at the sandman confused. I leaned towards her,
"He can't talk. So he shows pictures instead." I whispered close to her ear. She nodded a little, understanding.
"Whoa, Sandman slow down! Now what did you say?" Tooth asked. Then a single picture floated above his head. It was a picture of a child in bed and his dream above his head keeps changing.
"You think Kim can control her dream?" North asks Sandman.
"So what? I've seen tons of ankle bitters that can control their dreams. What makes her so special?" Bunny asks crossing his arms. I didn't like it how Bunny was talking to Kim, but I kept my mouth shut.
"Maybe Kim can control her dreams better then the other kids or maybe hers is much stronger." Tooth said trying to come up with an idea.
"Let's find out then!" North said. He turned to Kim.
"Kim, we need you to sleep." North said putting a hand on Kim's shoulder.
"Uh I don't think I can sleep." Kim said looking a little uncomfortable with everyone eyeing her.
"You can go to sleep, or Sandy can always knock you out." Bunny said, a little smugly. Kim gave Bunny a scornful look, but she laid down on the couch that she was sitting on, and tried to sleep. She moved around a bit and then looked up.
"I can't sleep while everyone's looking at me." She says. I chuckle a little and leave the room, the others following me. Bunny shuts the door behind him and turns on me.
"What where you thinking!? You can't bring a teenage human here!" Bunny says. I straighten up.
"Pitch is after her and she needs our help!" I snapped back to him.
"You're putting her in more danger, now that she has meet us!" Bunny says. "If Pitch wants to take us down then using Kim will be the first thing he dose!" Bunny says.
"We won't let the happen." North says standing up for me. Bunny just mumbles under his breath and walks off. North puts a hand on my shoulder.
"He's just worried about Kim's safety as much as you are." North says. We wait fifteen minutes and North said it's probably ok to go in. We open the door softly and find Kim sleeping peacefully. We tip toe up to her.
"Ok Sandy." North says and nods to Sandy. Sandy summons his gold sand and the sand flies towards Kim. The sand circle around her head and then an image appears. It was a picture of her and me again. Flying in the sky. I grin a little at the picture and I can feel the others eyes are on me. But just as quickly as the dream appeared it changed. This time it's just her in the middle of the woods, surrounded by animals.
"She changed her dream." North said.
"Ya, so she changed her dream but how powerful is it?" Bunny asks. North thinks for a moment. Then he turns to Sandman.
"Sandy, can you change her dream? Will see if she decides to change it back." North says. Sandy nods and focuses his sand at Kim again. When the sandman's sand reached her dream changed to her underwater in a sea with colorful fish and corals. But then Kim let's out a little moan.
Kim:
After the guardians left the room, I tried to fall asleep. But then I heard Bunny and Jack talking,
"What where you thinking!? You can't bring a teenage human here!" I hear Bunny say. I sense we got here, I sensed that the bunny didn't really like it that I was here. So I wasn't surprised when he got pissed off at Jack.
"Pitch is after her and she needs our help!" I hear Jack snap back to him.
"You're putting her in more danger, now that she's meet us!" Bunny says. "If Pitch knows about Kim and her ties to us, it will not only put us in danger but Kim's safety as well!" Bunny finishes. I think about this for a moment.
Am I putting the Guardians in danger? If Pitch gets ahold of me will it be not just be the end of the guardians, but be the whole world? I put my head in my hands. This is all so confusing. It's making my head hurt. I put my head down and try to sleep.
I'm suddenly in the sky again. Jack is by my side smiling and guiding me while I fly with him.
How did I get here? I thought to myself. When I think my mind has a fuzzy edge to it then I realize, that I'm dreaming. Then all of the things that happened a few minutes ago fill my mind.
I'm here because the guardians want to see how well I can control my dreams. I thought. Then I thought of something else.
Then they can probably see what I'm dreaming! I thought, horrified. I didn't want Jack to see that I was dreaming about him! So I decided to change my dream quick. Suddenly I'm in the middle of the forest with tons of animals around me.
Ok, good. Nice and innocent. I thought to myself grinning. I walk around the woods for a bit. Then all of a sudden the dream starts changing. But it wasn't me that was changing it.
What's going on? I thought. I was suddenly under water. I held my breath forgetting that I was in a dream. I start to panic. I hated water, before I even feel in the icy water at the pound. I've hated water since I was little. It scared me to think what was under the dark murky water or being trapped in a dark abyss. Also it didn't help that my dad drowned in water. I shivered at the thought. Even though now, I look around, everything was beautiful; I still hated the feeling of being under water though. I squirmed around trying franticly to get to the surface.
It's just a dream I thought trying to calm myself down. I stopped squirming. Instead I started to concentrate.
I want to go somewhere else, somewhere else, somewhere else. I kept thinking over and over, trying to make my dream into something else. Then slowly my dream started to change. The coral slowly changed to sidewalks, and the sea around me turned into a sky full of skyscrapers.
I'm in New York. Sweet. I thought to myself. What was even cooler, I had it all to myself. I could do anything I wanted! Then I remembered the guardians that are supposable watching me. Then an idea starts forming in my head.
I'll show that hairball I thought to myself laughing. I shoot off the ground and start flying.
"Whoooooah!" I half screamed half laughed. Then I waited until I was high above the city. Then I zoomed straight towards the ground. When I hit the ground I made the earth shake. I smiled.
Watch this I mentally said to the guardians. Then I was running as fast as the roadrunner himself. I zoomed passed buildings and even went through some making some of the buildings fall over.
Then something was poking at the back of my brain.
Sandman must be trying to change my dream again I though. Not this time though, I was having too much fun! Instead I urged myself to go even faster. Then I thought of something cool.
I need a ramp! I thought. Then out of nowhere there was a ramp, like I had wished for it. It also looked exactly as I pictured it. The ramp was as big as a house. I ran towards it, faster and faster. I finally reached the ramp and I shoot up straight up in the sky. Higher then I ever flew before in a dream.
"This is awesome!" I screamed in my dream. Then I turned red, remembering that the guardians can see me.
Then all of a sudden the poking in the back of my brain was getting stronger. Like someone was pressing their finger hard behind my head.
It was the sandman trying to get into my head again. I thought. I just ignored it and it went away. For a bit anyway. Then it came back again even stronger then before. My head was starting to hurt.
"Hey! Stop it that hurts!" I said hoping the guardians could hear me. The poking turned into a pounding in the back of my head. I put me hands over my head, trying to get the pounding to stop. Then everything turned to black.
Jack:
It made me uncomfortable to see Kim struggle under water, but North insisted that we continued to let her sleep. Thankfully, she changed her dream. She was all of a sudden in the middle of what looked like, New York. But it was disserted. She then started to show off. She flew around, she had strength, and she had super speed. She acted like she was in an action movie or something.
Then North said Sandy should try changing the dream to something again, but nothing that would scare her this time. But when Sandy tried, something wired happened. I huge yellow bubble covered up her dream, but you can still see her dream inside. Sandy tried getting into the dream with his sand, but the bubble was impenetrable. Sandy tried again, but the bubble still held. Then Sandy decided to use all of his power against the bubble. On the inside of the bubble I could see that Kim has stopped flying and was grabbing her head, in pain. Before I could stop the Sandman, he already had all his sand forcing the bubble to pop. The bubble disappeared, but so did the dream inside of it.
I grabbed Kim's head.
"Kim? Kim wake up!" I said urging her to wake up. I smacked her slightly on the face a few times and then her eye's fluttered open.
"Ouch." Kim said and grabbed her head. "My head feels like it's about to explode."
The Sandman flew over looking worried and millions of pictures where flying over his head. Tooth flew over to translate.
"He says, he's sorry if he caused you any pain, he didn't know that was going to happen. He was just seeing how much you could with stand his dreams." Tooth said. Kim just closed her eyes.
"Don't worry it's fine. I just need some aspirin." Kim said. I chuckled.
"That was amazing Kim." I said trying to make her feel better. "I've never seen anyone with stand Sandy like that." I added. Kim blushed a little but tried to hide it. I always thought that was kind of cute. It made me grin and when I smiled it seemed to make her blush even more.
"Uh thanks." She says. North was thinking and pacing.
"Yes, yes this is all very interesting but-" North looked up at the clock. "It is probably time to get Kim home now." North finished.
"We will talk more about this tomorrow." North said. Kim looked up at him.
"Tomorrow?!" She asked looking stunned. "But Pitch is still out there he's-" I cut her off as I gave her a half hug, my arm around her shoulder.
"Let us worry about Pitch." I said. She just looked down at the floor. I gripped her shoulder tighter. I didn't like it when she was sad.
"I can always make more snow days and make you miss school." I said laughing a little; she just gave me a small smile as we walked towards the window. I grabbed her around the waist and we flew off back towards town.
