Chapter 3
I didn't know what to do. The Muse had just passed out in front of me! I was about to try to wake her up when her form started changing and she started twitching. I had no idea what was going on, she was out cold but she was going between brown haired, blond haired, African-American, and Asian girls all at once. All I could do was pick her up bridal style with her head resting against my chest and start flying back to Norths workshop. I don't know how long it was until I got back but as soon as I saw the doors of the building I shouted for Tooth and North.
I rushed into the building, heading straight to the infirmary. They must of heard me because they were in there not even a second after I laid the Muse on a hospital bed. Her form was still flickering but it seemed slower and she had almost stopped fidgeting. "Jack!" Tooth yelled. "What did you do to her?!" "I don't know!" I said. "Okay, calm down, what happened?" North asked. "I went to her place and knocked on the door a few times." I explained. "When she cam out I told her who I was. I was about to tell her why I was there when she passed out!" North has a look of sympathy on his face while Tooth was in full force panic. "Leave" she said. "What?" "I said leave, you to North." she said worryingly. So that's what we did.
After we got back to Norths private workshop I asked him if he knew why she did that. "I do not know" he said. "Well what I know is that you and the rest of the Guardians are hiding something from me." I said, voice rising. "Who is she? Why did I have to be the one to ask her for help? Why did she faint on the spot when she saw me? I thought I was apart of this team, I thought I was in the loop but apparently not, or else you would have told me what was going on. I'm going to go see if she's okay then I'm leaving and going home. I QUIT!" With that I stormed out of the office and headed for the infirmary.
I knew that yelling at him wasn't right and I shouldn't have quit. I didn't even know if you could. But I was sick of not knowing. My hand was so tight around my wood staff that you'd think it would break, I was just that mad. That girl had just fainted at the sight of me and no one would tell me why. When I got there Tooth stopped me from going inside. "What's the problem? Why can't I go in?" I asked. Tooth just glared at me in a way that said 'not a good idea'. Now I was really annoyed. "I thought you guys were my friends and didn't keep secrets from me. I just wanted to see if she's alright." I shouted. Frost shot from the bottom of my staff and covered the floor, the temperature dropped with my along with my trust and light-hearted nature. I heard a moan coming from inside and I was tempted to freeze Tooth and just go inside, but I just turned around and flew through an open window for home.
As soon as I got to the ocean I immediately wanted to go back and apologize for everything I said, but I couldn't. They kept things from me, things I should know, and I didn't want to help anymore. When I got home I went to the frozen lake. I wanted so badly yo jump back in and beg the man in the moon to change me back, but I knew he wouldn't. He would keep me here as the Ice King, the Guardian of Fun. It wasn't like I had asked for this to happen, I didn't want to become a Guardian in the first place. I sat down next to a frozen tree, one question still going through my mind.
What weren't they telling me?
