Okay! Chapter Two!
I DO NOT own Rise of the Guardians.
Chapter Two – Another Baby Tooth?
Jack's eyes got wider and wider with horror. "Not Tooth too…"
The Tooth Fairy, now just the size of a baby, looked up, with the same violet eyes. Her eyes were filled with curiosity as she stared at Jack. He looked awfully different from all the other fairies.
Jack noticed how much the Tooth Fairy and the other fairies looked alike. Tooth was just a bigger version of Baby Tooth. Wide eyes stared up back at him.
All of a sudden, Tooth's wings sprang up and, with a look of determination, tried to fly. Unfortunately, because of her sudden decrease of age, her experience with her wings had also disappeared as well. She plopped onto the ground, and then started to cry. "No!" Jack couldn't help himself. It was a bit too much. He already had his hands full (literally) with North being toddler. Now Tooth is one too?
The winter spirit frantically set the five year old kid onto the ground, where North continued on his slumber. It was clear that North was oblivious to all of the panic around him.
Jack, on the other hand, wasn't as peaceful as North was. He immediately picked up the young Tooth Fairy, and then started to sing another lullaby, in hopes that she will fall asleep, just like North. He gently rocked her back and forth in his arms. Comfort is really all a kid needs, right?
Baby Tooth slowly caught on, so she signaled all the other fairies to come closer to their mother. They nuzzled against the Tooth Fairy's cheek, soaking up the tears with their feathers.
Soon enough, the Tooth Fairy had also fallen into a deep sleep. Jack sighed, and wiped his forehead with his sleeve. All of this pressure of taking care of two toddlers really gotten to him. Jack set down the three year old (he decided she looked roughly three years old) beside North, who was sucking on his thumb.
After that, the teenager nearly collapsed on the floor. One was bad enough, but two? That was just crazy! He needed more help. He turned to the fairies, who looked about as agitated as he was. "I'm going back to the North Pole to get some of those snow globes. You guys stay here and look after these two while I'm gone." He paused, to think for a little bit. "I think I'll ask that Kangaroo to help me too. After all, I need all the help I can get."
All the fairies nodded, understanding completely of what they were supposed to do. When he finally gained back all his energy, the winter spirit stood up, and with a final wave of goodbye, took off.
His snow white hair ruffled in the wind. He really hoped that all of this would be over soon. He didn't enjoy having to babysit two immortal children. Jack grumbled when he realized that since they were immortal, they must be trapped in that age until whatever just happened breaks. "Please just be a dream…" he said under his breath. Jack had no idea how right he was.
Pitch was watching Jack's little nightmare run. He was enjoying every single bit of it. That hated teen was running around like mad, trying to take care of them all. He knew that taking care of children would be hassle, but four magical, immortal toddlers? Pitch knew he had finally messed with Jack's mind a bit. But he wanted more. Pitch grinned a toothy grin. This was going to be quite the entertainment.
Jack peered down at all the snow globes he had in his hands. They were all crowding in his arms, so he tried to stuff some down into his sweater pocket. Only two of them could fit, and they bulged out like crazy. "I guess I'll just have to carry the other three…" he mumbled to himself.
He specifically chose five portals. Why? So he could use two of them on the way there and back, and then the other three for extra trips. He always wanted to be prepared, especially if some others that were supposedly younger than him are now relying on him. Plus, he didn't want to fly, and then risk dropping everything he had in his hands.
The winter spirit looked around for his staff. He had set it down somewhere earlier when he was searching for the portals. He finally spotted it, leaning against the wall. Just as he was about to get it, he realized something. His hands were full with snow globes, and had no chance of getting his staff without dropping one. Jack groaned. How could he forget? Now I have to put everything down and then pick everything up with the staff. He had no idea how the heck he was going to be able to hold his staff and then three snow globes all at the same time.
With the help of one of the yetis (Jack kept note that he had already used up two of his snow globes and can now hold one, since the yeti later on used the other one to return back to the North Pole), the winter spirit successfully brought all his supplies from the North Pole to Tooth Palace.
As he arrived back, all the fairies were fluttering around the little toddlers. Did they wake up already? Jack walked over to them. North immediately recognized him, and started to reach for Jack, yearning to be carried once again. "Uh…" Jack still had a snow globe and his staff in hand, so he handed them to the fairies (the few who held the staff immediately started to rub their faces against it) and picked up the five year old.
Jack felt was currently their babysitter, and he wasn't enjoying that much. Tired from standing so long, the teen carefully sat onto the ground. He sighed as he looked from North to Tooth. She was crying as well, but wasn't crying as hard. Plus, she had the fairies. North was brought to the palace without knowing. He wasn't looking at the Palace and when they arrived, he was snoozing.
Jack needed help. Jack needed ("I can't actually believe it", Jack muttered) Bunny's help. At least it wasn't near Easter. It would have been a real tight schedule for the Easter Bunny, and everyone knew how cranky he got if he got disturbed while working.
The white haired boy slowly set North back down again (much to the toddler's dismay) and stood up. Jack took his staff and the snow globe, and then whispered to the portal, "Bunny's Warren."
The sound of the snow globe's material shattering on the grounds of Tooth Palace bounced off the Palace's walls. It seemed awfully quiet now, considering none of the toddlers were crying anymore. The little kids started to play with the fairies. When Jack looked back before entering the portal, Baby Tooth just waved a wing to him, as if she was saying, We're fine. Jack smiled, reassured that he had at least some help along the way, and stepped through the portal.
What Jack saw was eggs, eggs, and more eggs, all with little legs and feet, scrambling around one certain area. Two tiny little bunny ears that were gray poked out of all of them, and he heard little sounds that were typically made by toddlers. Jack just had to smack his forehead in frustration.
Okay, I have finished!
So, I hope you all enjoyed this chapter. Sorry if these chapters are kind of boring, but just wait and see! Probably after the fourth chapter, you'll start to see Jack steadily going insane (thank you Guest for the suggestion! It's brilliant!). That's when things start to get a little more exciting. I'm not going to give away hints, if that's what you're thinking. Nah, let me just finish up the discovering part of the story, and then the exciting parts will be revealed!
Hope this wasn't too boring for you, and that you enjoyed! Oh, and also, the reason why I'm updating at an okay pace is because it's the long weekend (and that I'm procrastinating doing the things I want to do… like going on the Internet). When it gets to the weekdays, the chapters will start coming in slower. Just a heads up.
I just want to thank everyone who favourited, followed, or reviewed to my stories. They mean a lot to me. You guys are such a nice bunch. Thank you! :)
Thank you for reading, and have a nice day!
