Hey everyone! Thanks for all the reviews, please continue to tell me your opinions! :) Once again, I do not own the Guardians, I only own Shade, Spook and her sprites!
The Guardians zoomed through the air in North's sleigh with great speed, but in their haste, they took note of things that they had missed in the past months. The world seemed darker...more fearful. It was as if the very things that the Guardians cherished had been stolen. This darkness only increased as they approached Carrow Woods to find Hallow's home in disarray.
Jack jumped from the sleigh and looked around in horror. Sprites were fighting in a battle of sorts...but they were fighting eachother. "What are they doing?! Aren't these Shade's creatures?" He asked, looking toward the others.
All but Bunny simply looked on in horror, "No...somethin's wrong wit em...There are maybe five that are...right..."
"What do you mean Bunny?...What do you mean...right?" Tooth asked hesitantly.
Bunny pointed to five white sprites that were defending eachother against the hoard, "Those are hers...the others...there is somethin wrong wit em...They're dark...an' their eyes ain't right."
At his words, the others turned to the group of sprites and took note of the differences. Bunny was indeed right that...a majority of the sprites were giving off an air more similar to Fearlings...though not exactly the same. Their bodies were covered in shadowy sludge...and their eyes...that was what was the most disturbing. They glowed with the same red as the lights that lit the globe.
"They're eyes...W-what does it mean..." Tooth asked.
"...It means...ve need to find Shade Hallow...And ve need to do it now." North spoke gravely.
"But where would she be? This is her home..." Tooth stated.
"What about the Gate? Didn't she talk about it when she came to warn us" Jack spoke up, "We just gotta go there and get her! Let's go!" Jack said as he began to float into the air, only to see that nobody was moving. "Why aren't you guys moving?! This is important!" He screamed glaring at his fellow Guardians.
"...One problem Frostbite. We don' know where the Gate IS! Nobody does." Bunnymund said in irritation.
"Wha..." Jack floated back to the ground in confusion, "But how?"
"The Gate a the Dead is a protected space. Ony its Guardian and the Protectors know the location..." Bunny said, looking to the ground.
"But there's got to be some way!" Jack stated.
It was then that Bunnymund screamed and everyone turned to see a ghostly cat sitting calming in between the rabbit's ears. "Wha the ell'!" Bunny screamed as he tried to remove the creature.
"Vait Bunny! Zat cat is familiar!" North screamed, making Bunnymund stop his attack on the small creature.
"...Isn't that Shade's cat?" Tooth asked as they all watch it jump down from Bunnymund's head and land in front of them.
"...Spook." Bunnymund whispered in confusion making the others turn to him, "Its hers alrigh'" He finished as Spook began walking further into the forest, only to turn and glance at the Guardians, "An I think e' wants us to follow im'"
