Chapter 8
After everyone was alright again I explained to them what happened. When we got to the North Pole, I toke Grace to a room to rest. I went back out to the main hall and watched the globe, looking at all the kids who believed in us, all the ones we had to protect. "I'll come back, if you'll have me" I told the Guardians. "Of course Jack! You'll always be a Guardian" said Tooth. "We should have told you everything from the beginning. It was our fault" North said. "No you guys were right to keep it from me till now. It would have been even more confusing if you hadn't" I said. I gave each of them a hug.
I heard foot steps behind me. When I turned around I saw Grace walking towards us. She looked like she'd just woke up, but when she saw me her blue eyes sparkled. 'Grace!" I said. I rushed over and hugged her. "I'm so glad you're okay." I put her down. She giggled, man she's cute. "Yes I'm fine Jack. Stop worrying." She gave me a kiss on the cheek. I was probably blushing really hard because I heard the other guardians giggle. Suddenly a long shaft of light came from the moon and hit the floor.
"What's going on?" I asked. "Man in moon has chosen new guardian" North said. His eyes wide. "Who?" I asked. The reached a symbol on the floor and a giant crystal figure came out. The crystal was a carving a beautiful girl, could have been anyone if it hadn't been for the necklace she wore. A heart shaped charm on a golden chain. "Who's the guardian?" Grace asked. "You" I said. "Say hello to the guardian of imagination, Grace the Muse" said North. She toke her oath, shining. I was proud of her.
When the short welcome/victory party was over I toke outside to relax. "I'm a guardian…" she said, amazement obvious. "Yeah, we get to work together" I said. "You know, as soon as I got my memories back the first thing I felt was grief." "Why?" "I thought you were dead, and I missed you" she replied, bright pink blush on her face. I grabbed her chin and pulled her to face me. "I missed you to, and I'm never letting you go again." I pulled her close and kissed her.
I know the story (especially the ending) was cliche and or corny (I don't know which) but it just felt right to me.I've put up the first chapter of a sequel called Fun, Imagination, and Fear. I'm not going to continue it though unless people really want me to. I'm up to chapter 9 so it's longer, a lot longer, and i think it's okay. Please read it! Crlexi out!
