Guardian High- Chapter 4

Disclaimer: I do not own Rise of the Guardians.

I'm super (x1,000,000) sorry. I lost my inspiration for this story. But I just kept trying to think of ideas and nothing came. This came to me while just writing. I was just writing random stuff to get a chapter to you guys and this came. Enjoy!

Jack's POV

I went to school the next day and was so stressing. I had to do the report with Pitch and graduation was in two months. Great. Where is Pitch when you want to find him?

I searched the whole school for him, and I didn't find him anywhere. I went to the office and asked Principal Naidraug if he knew where Pitch was. He said that he didn't come to school today. Great so now he's ditching school too. He really doesn't want to do this report. Jeez. I walked out of the office and headed towards the library. If Pitch wasn't going to help and fail, whatever, but I am NOT going to fail because of that stupid, lazy shadow.

Speak of the devil. I entered the library and saw Pitch. Stupid principal didn't bother to see if a student was here. I walked up and sat next to him. He raised an eyebrow, "May I help you?"

"We have a report to do. And I really want to graduate and become a Guardian." I snapped loudly.

"Shhhh..." shushed the librarian. I rolled my eyes and glared at Pitch. "I know that you want to graduate, Percival. So don't say you don't."

He glared at me and growled, "Don't call me that every again, Snowflake."

Seriously, Snowflake. You don't see me calling him some stupid nickname based on his power.

"Listen, Percy." he glared, but I continued. "I know that we have our... differences, but we have to get past them if we want to graduate."

He rolled his eyes. "No, duh"

I stood up and walked over to a section of the library where I knew books on fire would be. I grabbed a few then walked back. Of course, he was gone. But on the table was a note. It read:

Sorry Snowflake. Something came up. Call me- 101-7675

~~Pitch

At least, he was honest. Or at least I hope he is. I put his number into my phone, checked out the books, and walked to the next class I had.

Pitch's POV

Jack walked off to go get some books for our report and my phone vibrated. I took it out of my pocket and looked at the text. Great, it was from my "dad."

'Percival, home now! No excuses, no questions! Be home in five.'

I rolled my eyes. Way to be detailed, Dad. I ripped out a sheet of paper from my notebook, wrote Jack a note, and left the library.

I ran home and was there in a few minutes. My "dad" burst out the front door, grabbed my arm, and dragged my inside. You see he isn't really my dad, but he is the only person who has tried to help me and actually been nice to me.

He was River Palm. Weird name, right? But he went to Guardian High, graduated, but he didn't want to get a Guardian name or form. He liked being human. He still had the immortality of a Guardian, but his powers aren't as strong as they could've been with his Guardian form. He looked to be about twenty, but was really about a hundred. He had spiky brown hair with thin lime green streaks. He could be my brother, since we looked the same age, but he told me to call him either Dad or River. Now, I just babbling.

Once inside, he faced me and said, "I might have found a cure. One that could actually work. This isn't like the last times."

I stared at him both a little shocked and unconvinced. He had told me this many times, but all failed miserably and probably made it worse. He was trying to find a cure for the darkness.

"I used to know a girl named Vanessa." River said.

"And what does she have to do with me?" I snapped.

"Percy, I know I'm not your dad and your probably think of me more as brother, but please just show me a little respect."

I nodded. River was the only one allowed to call me Percy anymore.

"Thank you. Vanessa is a Guardian of light. Her powers revolve around light, the sun, and heat. I was thinking that her light could get rid of the darkness."

I looked up at River's green eyes and saw hope. He smiled and pulled me into a hug. My life might get back to normal.

I smiled at River then ran to my room. My room kind of resembled my personality and look. The walls were dark gray almost black, the bedspread was dark purple, and all the other stuff ranged from dark gray to dark red. Really happy room, right? I plopped down on the bed and smiled internally. I have hope. I have a chance at normality.

Jack's POV

Pitch didn't return the rest of the day. I kept a lookout for him so we could work on our report. He didn't show so I just went along with my day, meeting up with Tati, Andy, Nick, and Aster at lunch.

I sat down with them and they smiled. Well, all except Aster. He just doesn't seem to like me for some reason.

"Hey Jack! How's your report with Pitch going!?" exclaimed Tati. Same old Tatiana.

"Ok, I guess. We started to work on it, but he left."

"Why?"

"Something came up."

"Or he ditched ya. I wouldn't blame him. You can act like one annoying little ankle-bitter." said Aster.

"Whatever, Aster. At least I have fun." I smirked.

He stared me with angry, wide eyes. I rolled my eyes and he just glared and walked away. The bell rang just then and I got up and walked to my next class.

~After School~

I walked out of the school and grabbed my phone. I dialed in Pitch's number and it rang. After three rings he picked up.

"Hello? Who is this?" he asked.

"It's Jack."

"Umm... Jack. I don't know a Jack."

I frowned and said bluntly, "Snowflake."

"Oh, Snowflake. What's up?"

"We need to work on our report." I said.

"Is that all you ever think about? Jeez, boring much?"

"Whatever. Can you come to my house later or would you rather I come to yours?"

"No, no. Your house. Not mine." he said frantically.

Weird, much?

"Ok, see you in a few."

I hung up and all I thought was "Freak."

OMG! I'm so so so so so so so so so so so so so sorry! Please don't be mad about my long absence! My inspiration for this story disappeared, but I new ideas and stuff! Please don't be mad!

New chapter soon hopefully!
