A heart monitor beeped next to a cot in North's infirmary. On that cot laid an alive, but unconscious Cadence. Her stab wound had been stitched together but she had lost a lot of blood. Pitch had escaped after he threw the dagger at Cadence. He may have been powerless, but he had a back-up plan. He disappeared and no trace of him had been found.
The Guardians were assembled in the globe room. Jack had been sworn in as an official Guardian, but he only stayed for a moment before flying outside and released his rage. A huge blizzard had enveloped the entire Arctic region.
He blamed himself. He shot blasts of ice from his staff, creating giant sculptures of sharp spikes. When he didn't have the strength anymore he just flew to the top of North's factory and sat there. He held the dagger that impaled his best friend.
The blade was a triangular shape and it was jet black in color. The handle and grip were gold. On the quilion, it had the inscription: Memoria Rapientem.
"This is my fault." Jack said to himself. "If only I had finished off Pitch before we..."
Jack stopped himself. He thought about the moment they kissed. Well, Cadence kissed him. Did it mean something? Did Cadence want to be more than friends? The more he thought about the kiss, the more confused he got.
He only focused on one thought:
Is Cadence going to be alright?
His thoughts were interrupted when the trap door on the roof opened.
"Jack?" Bunny's voice came from the trapdoor as his head peeked out.
"What do you want Bunny?" Jack said a little more sharply than he intended.
"Well, I thought that you'd want to know that Cadence is awake." Bunny said.
"What!?" Jack nearly fell off the roof when he heard it.
"But Jack, you should know that-" Bunny couldn't finish his sentence before Jack zipped down the trapdoor towards the infirmary.
Cadence stared out the window.
A horrible blizzard was ravaging the outside of the building that's she had awoken in.
'Where am I? How did I get here? And were those yetis?'
She had a awoken to find two strange things staring down at her. They were hairy and ape-like. They spoke some sort of language that she couldn't understand. She did scream, sending them into a panic and they left her alone in this infirmary room.
She felt a little dizzy when she tried to stand up. She felt drained, like her energy was sucked out of her. Using a hair tie she found on her wrist, she pulled her bluish-black hair into a fishtail braid. It felt natural for her to do that.
She turned around when the doors burst open.
He had to be 18 at the most. He had messy white hair, striking blue eyes, and pale skin. His figure was tall, lean, albeit slim. He wore a blue hooded sweater with frost collecting around the rings of the collar and sleeves, he wore trousers bound with lighter material starting from the knee down to the rather tattered and frayed bottom. And he wore no shoes or socks, he was completely barefoot.
"Cadence!" He shouted. He leaped from where he stood and almost tackled Cadence in a hug.
But Cadence was a little freaked out. She tried to push the boy off of her, but he was strong. It wasn't until she used her foot to pry herself free that the boy finally let go. Cadence stumbled backwards, crashing into medical equipment.
"Cadence, it's me, Jack!" The boy almost sounded like he was pleading.
"I don't know you!" She cried. "I don't remember anything!"
And I'm going to end this story here!
What? You guys thought I was going to kill her and make her an immortal? HA! I have a whole other plan for Cadence. I'm making a SEQUEL!
But not for a while. Like I said, my Hiatus officially begins. So, I'm sorry, but y'all are gonna have to wait. But I will return!
