Chapter 4

It had been two days since Jack had brought Grace to the North Pole. Grace still hadn't woken up and the Guardians were getting worried. "It's been two days since she got here, two days since Jack quit. What are we going to do if she doesn't wake up soon?" Tooth frantically said. "Even then, Jack's the only one she will trust after that." Tooth was flying around so fast you'd have thought she was just a trick of the eyes. "Okay, I still don't understand what happened to the girl." Bunny said. "How many times do I have to say it?! The only way a spirit can remember things without looking at their memories, is when they see someone important or meaningful in their last life. The Muse was Jacks girlfriend before he became Jack Frost. They were a truly rare couple, in true love. Which is why I knew Jack would cause the memories to come back." Tooth explained. That's when Grace woke up. "Ow, my head. Where am I? Jack?" she called. The Guardians rushed in. "AH!" Grace screamed and started freaking out. While Tooth calmed her down, North explained where she was and what had happened. When she asked where Jack went the Guardian just looked away. "What happened?!" she asked, worried. "Why didn't he stay?" "Well he kinda didn't know who you were." said North. "What!" "It long story. You didn't look like you, we not tell him why he must be one to go get you, we not tell him who you really are, he get mad, he quit being guardian and leave. Okay story not so long after all." he said. "We didn't think you or him get mad." "Let me get this straight. I just went through a lot of pain to remember my life after looking at my old boyfriend, who you don't tell a single thing about me, or why out off all the Guardians he had to be the one to come and get me, and you didn't expect either of us to get mad?!" She said fuming. "Yes?" he whispered. "Are you crazy?"

After a short argument about that subject, Bunnymund intervened and told the Muse why she was there, and what they needed her help for. "Wait a minute, did you say storybook villains coming to life?" she asked. "Yeah, why?" "Oh no" her face paled with fear. " I thought I had locked them away, I thought they couldn't get out." she said to herself. "What do you mean locked them away? Do you know how this happened?" North asked. She began to explain to the Guardians that when she had first learned about her powers she had stayed hidden. But she couldn't stop doing what she did. When she was in certain moods characters from the books she read, would appear in her home. After that she locked them away in specially designed jails, locked away for years. Some she got back into the books but some of the villains she just couldn't keep control of. "Whenever I felt lonely, like here was never anyone for me to talk to, who understood me they would appear. I tried never to read unless I was happy or, I knew I could put them back inside the stories. This is all my fault." She said tears freely falling as she curled up into a ball, trying to hide from the Guardians. She thought they would for sure yell at her or lock her up. But all they did was stare in disbelief. None of them could believe that such a sweet girl, could do something this terrible. Tooth went and hugged the Muse as she shoke, tears like waterfalls. "Shh..." Tooth said, trying to calm her down. "It's not your fault, it's not your fault." What were they going to do now? Jack was home and probably never going to talk to them again, and Grace looked too broken and guilt filled, to do anything.

I know it's kinda cliche and bad but I thought it needed a info chapter.
