Chapter 6

I was shaking on the inside; it scared me to think back to that nightmare. "What happened, well Eris happened, after a small battle of insults, she told me that… thatshehasbroughtPitchbackfr omthedead" I said as I quickly and clearly as I could " Faun and Cupid were the first to speak "WHAT" they both yelled I sighed about to say it again when Jack cut in "how the hell is Pitch back that should be impossible he died we saw his nightmares destroy him" I glared at him for a second surprised at how cocky he could be "if Eris wants something she will go to the ends of the earth to get it, and you wanna know how, Jack she got a hold of a black moonflower" that was it everyone in the room gasped, except Jack, "I thought they were extinct" Tooth said while calming down her pixies "you said they were all gone mate" Bunny added I just looked to my feet "wait, wait, wait what is a black moonflower and why has It got all of you so worried" Jack asked really confused. I didn't want to say anything, too afraid that if I say it, it will happen. North noticed this and decided he would say it for me "Jack" he said ever so softly "the black moonflower is something you should be afraid of, it is said that with the right magic it can bring about horrible things, last time it was used was at the beginning of the dark ages, Selena told us we were created to stop him and bring light to the world, but at the beginning he used the black moonflower against the children bringing sickness and fear, but Eris she brought chaos in the form of the plague" he stopped and I saw how Jacks face had no confusion but sadness. And I admit I hated to see him sad. "the black moonflower is incredibly powerful when mixed with dark magic, it was incredibly hard for us to take Pitch and Eris down with that flower in our way. It brought so much death and fear with it" North finished looking sadder than ever, everyone looked sad "but…"I piped up "the only thing strong enough to counter the black magic caused by the black moonflower is that of the white moonflower" everyone looked at me surprised because I had never told them this before, except my sisters who looked intrigued but slightly scared at what I was about to say "I saw some in your garden we can go get them and the…" Jack started but I stopped him "yes I grow them in my garden but those flowers where not sown under the moonlight nor were they grown through the power of mother nature" I saw Jack think about this trying to figure out another plan then he said what I had been thinking "then grow one" my sisters gasped, "she can't just grow one didn't you hear her she said grown through the power of mother nature" Faun spat out she was angry at him now, Cupid just stood there worry on her face I knew what she was thinking but I would not let that stand in my way "why can't she grow one, she is the daughter of mother nature that magic runs through her veins through your veins Faun, and yours Cupid" he looked annoyed now "girls it's okay I can do this, I will do this for the children and the other life on Earth besides you know me I'm a fighter, like bunny" I said while walking over to bunny and leaning on him.

Jack POV

I could tell she was trying to lighten up the situation, but I didn't understand what the big fuss was about all Selena had to do was magically grow a plant under the moonlight what's the big deal. "The only requirements of growing one is that it has to be under a full moon in a certain place, a place where all the seasons touch each other" I was so confused "where in the world do all the seasons touch" I complained, suddenly annoyed at how complicated this was getting "I know mate" bunny said smirking at Selena and then turning that smirk onto me "we're goin' to Oz, mate" is all he said.

Selena POV

We were on our way to Australia, wow, I hadn't been there for like a few decades now but I bet it's just the same except more modern. I just hope my sacred place is still there I would hate it if it was turned into a mall. Then I remembered I put a spell on it so that it travels when it's in danger, damn it, it's probably moved I should tell the others. Wait no I won't there is still a chance that it hasn't been touched. We were in North's sleigh and it was hilarious watching Bunny scared out of his life digging his nails into the sleigh like his life depended on it, while Jack just sat there teasing him and laughing when Bunny glared at him.

We were finally here in Australia, I could tell Jack didn't like it cause there was no snow just heat. "Australia isn't just hot days there are some places where it snows, which is why our destination is here because Australia has every biome here whether it be rainforest, snow, mountains, deserts, coral reef or even scrub" he just looked at me with an expression read 'how' but then turned into one that said 'thanks'. I jumped out of the sleigh we had arrived during the night because of the time difference so it was okay if we landed in the middle of the park close to where the flower had been. I began to walk around trying to sense if the flower was nearby as I feared it wasn't. "it's not here, I can't sense it" Jack stared at me in disbelief, and Bunny was just pissed off "what do you mean it isn't you told us it was here" I had to explain to them now what happened "It isn't here because I charmed it to move when in danger, people threatened it when they began to develop this area" everyone just stared at me expecting me to come up with another plan, my sisters still worried about me I could see it on their faces and by the fact that Cupid hasn't spoken to me since I said I would grow the moonflower "I can sense it I just need to concentrate" they all moved away, giving me my space, Tooth was smiling encouragingly so I simply closed my eyes and began to think about it picturing it in my mind, I felt it, it was in the outback, among cold mountain ranges I knew exactly where it was quite a famous spot actually "I've got it, its by Snowy River " Jacks face lit up at the mention of snow and I couldn't help but smile at how mischievous he looked. North smiled "well lets be on our way then" he said with newly found enthusiasm. We were in the sleigh when North threw me a snow globe and I thought back to my feeling/vision of the snowy river and said "snowy river" I threw the globe as hard as I could at the air where it revealed a portal. North flicked the reigns and we ere zoomed through the portal to the mountains. We landed right next it, it was beautiful, four deep thin cracks in the earth defined it but the cracks never touched each other just leaving a patch of ground. In between each of the cracks was a different season spring, summer, autumn and winter. North looked around proudly that we had gotten this far in such a short amount of time "well now we can rest, until the full moon rises, 7 nights from now" I smiled knowing that I would need every bit of rest I could. After everyone had settled down in the nearby wooden cabin, except Sandy he had to do his job, I climbed into my bed eager to get to sleep, although I couldn't I tried to reach the land of the dreams but I just couldn't. realising that not even Sandys dream sand was going to put me to sleep tonight, I got out of bed and made my up to the roof and sat down to think about everything under the watchful gaze of millions of brilliant stars. "soo, what you thinking about" I heard his voice and quickly turned around seeing Jack come over and sit down next to me "just stuff" I replied "you're thinking about Eris and the flower aren't you" I nodded my head "well don't worry, as soon as you grow that silly little plant, we can storm right up to Eris, defeat her and then, you get to slap her right across the face, as hard as you want to. I won't judge" I laughed at his optimism "it's not that simple, the energy and power it takes to grow such a powerful 'silly little plant' as you so kindly called it… is taxing" he looked at me as if he wanted to try and soothe me of my worry "what do you mean taxing, Selena" I sighed, I couldn't believe I was about to confide in Jack friggin' Frost "I tried to grow one before, it was decades ago, my sister kept on telling me that only mom could grow it because only she has the power, but I wanted to prove them wrong that I could be just as powerful if not more powerful than my mother, I despise her and perfection, always trying to prove me wrong. So I began the ritual and spell to grow the white moonflower but halfway through I felt weaker than ever I couldn't even open my eyes let alone speak or stand, then I blacked out, I was on the brink of death. But luckily my sisters stopped me killed the sapling that was sapping my own strength, they saved me Jack and now I am probably going to throw it in their faces by attempting to do it yet again" I shook my head fear causing me to cry, Jack just stared at me and raised his hand to my cheek wiping the tears from my eyes. I knew he could tell how scared I was "don't worry, if I even think for a second that flower is going to kill you or even hurt you, I will freeze it kill it however I can. I. Won't. Let. You. Die" he looked so serious did he mean what he said I believed that he would right now more than ever do anything for me and yet we had only really known me for like 24 hours, so I smiled and so did he. Then he did something I thought he would never do, he leaned in like he was about to kiss me and I felt my body lean in closer to as if it was against my will, he closed his eyes, while mine began to flutter closed again against my eyes and then…
