Good Luck
The end is coming
Selena's POV
Jack took three strides towards me, purpose filling him with each step. He took hold of my arms and placed his lips on my own, the kiss was sweet and the coldness of his lips was soothing and oddly familiar on my own. What the hell am I doing didn't I just tell Lilly that I love Pitch, hastily shoving him off anger built within me. "Jack what the hell was tha…" it all disappeared, the cloud that had shrouded my mind dissipated leaving nothing but clarity and I could remember everything. From falling through the ice the first time all the way through to being held against my will and an arrow plunged into my heart by… Pitch. He did this to me, I recalled the last 24 -48 hours I remembered the feelings I had for that… that monster. I would have my revenge, Pitch and Eris had crossed me for the last time, and this had been the final straw. The feeling in the pit of my stomach pulled again, much stronger than ever before urging to be let free. Turning towards Jack I kissed him on the lips with all the passion I could must in one short, sweet kiss. He looked me in the eyes relief; curiosity and lust filled his eyes all at once.
"Please, just don't be scared, promise me you wont be scared or run away when it happens, I don't know if I could handle it if you ran away from me" he nodded his head at my request
"How could you think that I would ever run away from you?" he told me while stroking me cheek, I leaned into his hand. Relief flooded my body everything would be alright, everyone was safe, well, with the exception of Pitch and Eris.
"Thankyou"
The tugs in my stomach became harder to push down as they rippled up to my skin causing goose bumps along my arms. I took a step back from Jack as my bones began to crack and reform. I stifled a scream as I felt the thick white hairs erupt from all over my body. Again I suppressed a scream when my lengthening tailbone pushed my skin, stretching it as it grew into a tail. The screaming stopped when my jaw line began elongating into a snout and I started screaming on the inside. My entire body screamed in pain as I morphed into a great white wolf, standing so tall that my shoulders where as high as Jack himself.
Speaking of Jack, he just stood there motionless at what he saw before him. A whimper filled with worry escaped my lips and pushed my forehead against his shoulder. After a second he wrapped his arms around my neck gripping the soft downy fur at my scruff and moving so that my head leant on the crook of his neck. And I knew that no matter what he would never leave me, he had just witnessed me turn into a giant animal and yet he had not freaked out to the point of running away; that had to mean something.
Jack's POV
She had just transformed into a wolf, my Selena now stood before me as a giant, beautiful, white wolf. I knew it was her because not only had I witness the painful ordeal but it had her eyes, those beautiful hazel eyes. I stood stock still amazed and shocked, still trying to think through what had happened.
A small whimper escaped the magnificent beast before me and she stepped forward. Resting her head on my shoulder she sought comfort from me, something to tell her that I was not afraid. A second passed before I wrapped my arms around her neck reaching the soft fur of her scruff and gripping it n my hands. I positioned my head so hers would fall into the crook of my own, we stayed like that for a moment before she pulled back a look of Mischief passing through her eyes. Whatever was going through that devious mind I had not doubt it was meant for Pitch and I had no doubt that it would hurt; a lot.
Selena's POV
Whatever I was going to do to Pitch I had no idea, all I knew is that I was going to leave him in severe pain they were both going to be in severe pain. Bounding back through the maze I made my way back to the main chamber with Jack flying not far behind; Lilly had left as soon as Jack kissed me. I reached the battle and looked on at the pure chaos of the event, Eris must be loving this, she would be incredibly strong at the moment. I had to change that. In taking one giant breath I let out a magnificent howl stopping everyone and everything in its tracks. Cupid and Faun looked towards me in shared understanding, they knew Pitch had driven me to the edge, and they knew he was going to pay. Spirit and Nightmare alike stood out of my path as I stalked towards Pitch, pure fury evident in my eyes. Baring fangs of the purest silver I growled he looked at me finally understanding dawned on his features as he deducted who I was and what had happened; and he was scared. The chaos stopped as everyone watched me, draining Eris's power in the process. Lifting pitch up by his collar I ran at full speed through the cave and out the entrance throwing him to the ground fifteen metres away at the first sign of moonlight. It was night time, we didn't have long to sow until the moon was high enough in the sky to grow the moonflower; no worries this wouldn't take too long.
Circling him I instilled the fear of a stalked dear into the almighty Pitch, bringer of darkness. Laughing at the thought on the inside I continued circling him, evaluating him and calculating how I would cause him unimaginable pain. An idea struck me, clamping my jaws onto his shoulder I dragged him and slammed him up against a tree. The bite had broken his left shoulder and the hit against the tree left him with three broken ribs. I dropped him to the ground and watched on as he panted wincing with pain at every breath. Everyone had crowded outside to watch me finish off the man who had caused all of us significant pain even Eris who was being held against her will by two very strong Yeti's. Again I stalked forward ready for the final blow, three strides was all it took to reach him, and raising one paw as if to take another step I placed it on his pelvis and pressed down. Increasing the pressure every second as Pitch gritted his teeth, he was in pain as I squished his precious jewels beneath my mighty paw. I could hear the male members of our group give out slight squeaks as they imagined the pain and the female ones just grimacing at the thought.
Placing 90% of my weight onto that one paw I leaned forward bared my teeth ready to snap at his face. Poised for the kill I took a moment as he breathed harder and harder, grinding his upper and lower jaws from the pain…
"Selena don't do it" Faun screamed from the sidelines
"Don't kill him, he may have done bad things but no one deserves to die" I glanced at her before turning back to Pitch.
"Remember Drue, he wouldn't want you to do this" Poising myself again I bared my teeth once more and… STRIKE! I clenched my giant silver canines over to the right of his face; Grazing just the top of his right ear. I hadn't killed him, just simply given him the scare of a lifetime. Growling at him in a sense of finality I lifted my paw from his groin and padded over to the others staring in awe at what I had just done.
"Faun, I can't believe you thought I would actually kill someone, even if it is Pitch" she just smiled and laughed
"for a second I thought you would of but then I realised who I was talking to" we both laughed at this, well I didn't exactly laugh but did a weird deep chuckle. Everyone had been watching us, confusion spread over their faces, I knew they couldn't understand me while I was still in wolf form Faun was the only one who could.
"Hey Faun could you grab me some clothes and meet me about 200 metres away" she just nodded and flew to the campsite as I looked around at my friends before bounding away into the woods. I heard them in the background start to actually move. We didn't have long before the moon was in the right position to grow the flower so everyone was preparing.
I eventually came across a small clearing to get changed in, a few seconds later Faun entered the clearing holding my winter dress in her arms. She threw it to me and I caught it in my teeth, gently dropping the soft material to the ground.
The mental battle began as I tied to rein in the wild spirit of the wolf. She was no longer as angry or threatened and so didn't put up too much of a fight. The cracking of bones began as they shrunk and reformed, the hair disappearing below my skin and my tailbone shortening until it also disappeared beneath my skin. My human form returned but I was still left naked and shivering in the middle of the forest on a winter night. I pulled on the warm, winter clothes as swiftly as possible to relieve myself of the bitter chill running down my spine.
Jack's POV
She just up and left us standing here after almost killing Pitch, she could have done it but she didn't. She didn't want to stoop to his level, by killing him she would forsake everything she held dear, her morals, her friends and herself. She was so strong to be able to do that, I knew it was hard after everything he has done to us and I was so proud of her.
A moment passed and everyone began preparing for Selena to grow the flower, we only had about 20 minutes left to do it. North travelled back to the cabin by portal to check on the enchanted water before returning. While everyone else helped to pack the campsite besides Cupid; she was pacing back and forth.
I carefully walked over to her, she looked somewhat fragile at the moment and I didn't want to upset her.
"Cupid what's wrong" startled she abruptly turned around,
"Oh no everything is just peachy, I mean my sister is about to perform one of the most dangerous spells in the book, if there ever was one, the same spell that almost killed last time she tried it, oh Jack I am just fine, nothing is wrong". She inhaled a large, desperate breath. All I could do was take her hand and squeeze it slightly, letting her know that I was here for her.
"You know I would never let anything else happen to Selena, if it came down to it I would, give my life for her" Cupid just looked up at me after my sudden revelation.
"I know you would Jack, but I just worry for her, I guess it's a sibling thing" she managed a small smile before we noticed Faun and Selena walking through the forest giggling like schoolgirls. I was so glad to see Selena, in human form, I ran up to her, engulfing her in a hug and lifting her off her feet. She giggled in response as her arms tightened around me. Setting her down to the ground I stared into her hazel eyes, she was so beautiful under the moonlight.
Realisation dawned on me when I noticed her wearing different clothes, when she shifts her clothes tear, I knew that when she had shifted back human she had been naked. The thought filled my mind and I felt a blush rise to my cheeks at the dirty thought, quickly I shook my head dispelling it from my mind.
The clearing of a throat snapped us out of the moment and we turned to see everyone staring at us.
"It is time" North stated in that familiar Russian accent.
Selena's POV
It was time for me to do the spell, I was scared I knew that much, if it didn't work out I would be leaving everyone behind, my sisters, the guardians, Jack. All the same I knew I had to do it, it was my job to protect the children now. I looked up at the moon seeking some sort of guidance from my Dad, but nothing came. North offered me his hand, lifting me up and into the large, red sleigh. We travelled through the portal and landed back down in front of the cabin on Australian soil.
Sitting down on the ground a the very point where all four seasons connected I dug out a small hole and dropped a single white moonstone, the seed of the white moonflower. It was beautiful as I glowed a brilliant blue hue under the moonlight.
Bunnymund handed me the bowl of enchanted water as I covered the small seed over with soil. Pouring the water over the small mound of dirt I placed my hands over it. Mustering as much strength and power as possible I directed it into the small plant, opening my eyes slightly to see the small sprout of a flower. I pressed harder directing even more into it, my power was depleting I could feel myself becoming faint. It was time to enact the failsafe. I drew small amounts of power and energy from each of the guardians and my sisters. They felt it as they gasped and grunted feeling the slight drain on their power. A blue light erupted from within me, rising up and up until my head arched towards the sky letting its brilliance out towards the sky through my mouth. It kept rising and I could feel the last of my power rise with it, opening my eyes I noticed a small, pure white light appear above me as my strength left me. The last thing I saw was the light settling on the small white flower glowing in front of me; and then it all went black.
Jack's POV
She collapsed right in front of me, I saw it happen, the small white light escaped her lips landing on the fully-grown flower then she collapsed. My feet pounded beneath me running as fast as I could to her still body. My knees faltered beneath my and I dropped down next to her, relieved that she was still breathing. Her wings were wilting and I knew the flower had drained her yet she still reached out to the flower asking me to bring it to her.
Gently I scooped up the soil beneath it and moved it to her, she smiled weakly her pale face accentuating the black of her hair. Enclosing her dainty hands around it she closed her eyes, I panicked for a second until the flower glowed and suddenly swirls of silver escaped its petals.
It bloomed right in front of me sending waves of pure energy out and towards the peaceful figure in my arms.
She stirred in my arms and her eyes fluttered open, my heart leapt for joy as she smiled once again full of life. Carefully I helped her to stand, her body still recovering.
"I did it, no one thought I could but I proved them all wrong, I proved her wrong, my mother can never say that I am weaker than her again, never" she hugged me and after a second quickly returned her attention to the flower.
Smirking she began to rise in the air manipulating the elements to form a pillar of ice, rock, fire and whipping air currents below her. It ended in a bowl of earth as Selena placed the flower in it. Under the moonlight the flower emanated a sudden burst of power spreading further than the eye could see. A scream erupted from the silence; I turned to Eris to find her hip ablaze with fire. No wait it wasn't her hip it was an item at her hip, she flung the item out. The black moonflower, it was burning up from the power emanating from its white counterpart.
The last of it shrivelled up in a way of finality; the threat had passed.
Every one turned their attention to Eris and Pitch who had all of a sudden realised their defeat.
"My father will hear of this and then none of you will be safe" the two of them dissipated in a cloud of nightmare dust and deep purple, chaotic mist.
Eris, even in defeat just had to have the last word.
that Eris, i mean god like really she sounds like fricken Drako Malfoy for gods sake
:o maybe they are related.
Jokes no they arent if anyone doesnt know where the idea for Eris comes from i will let you know
