So here is my new chapter! I think this is the longest I've ever written guys! I hope you like it! I do not own any of the songs nor Rise of the Guardians.

"Jamie?!" I couldn't believe it! What the fuck is sweet little Jamie Bennet doing here? This cannot be happening.
"Ro-Rory?" He whispered as he slowly crawled out of the blankets and towards me, his eyes watering with tears.
"Rory!" He wailed as he latched himself onto me. I was frozen in shock for a second before I wrapped my arms around his sobbing form.
"Shh. Its ok Kiddo, calm down." I tried to soothe him as I patted his back awkwardly. I never really been one to comfort people when their crying, hell even Eve only saw me cry a total of three times since we met. One thing that I couldn't stand though was seeing children cry, I blame Eve and Ezra for making me soft.
"Bu-but Rore, I-I'm scared!" He said as he started to cry again. I pushed him a little bit away and stared straight into his eyes.
"Hey, it's ok. I'm right here with you kiddo, and trust me, I. Am. Getting. Us. Out." I spoke slowly as I felt a wave of confidence go through me.
Riot by Three days grace"Yo-you are?" He asked in such a hopeful voice that it almost broke my heart. I swear, I will give my life until Jamie is safe. I thought fiercely as I pulled him close again.
"Of course. We both have people we love waiting for us, best not keep them waiting, huh?" I asked him with a slight smirk on my face. I have a feeling that this is not going to end well, but I'm sure as hell going to get Jamie out of this Hell.
"Yeah! Thanks Rory, I missed you." He said as we finally let go of each other.
"Same here kid." I said as I ruffled his hair. He laughed a bit as he tried to swat my hand away. It felt good to see him smile. But I felt my own fall as I was pulled back into our situation.
"Say, Jamie. How did you end up here?" I asked tentatively, not wanting him to burst back into tears.
"Oh, well, me and Soph. We were at the park playing in the snow, waiting for Jack," I felt a spark as I remember something from Halloween, about Jack Frost, " He was late, and it was getting dark, but we didn't want to go in yet." He sniffed and tried to blink back a few tears, but I still saw them. I reached out and started to stroke his nose with my finger , a trick my mom used to do when I was a kid when I was upset. He calmed down a bit and continued," I know we should've gone back, but I missed Jack! I haven't seen him since, well since you went missing and Eve-," He paused for a bit as he stared at me in panic, probably thinking he said the wrong thing.
I gave him a small smile and patted his head to continue, "Well, we were trying to build a snow man, and I was talking about how cool it would be to have a snow ball fight with Jack when Sophie started to cry. She pointed to this guy who was just staring at us. I remembered once, when I was talking to Ezra at the funeral, that the guy who had taken you guys had dark curly hair and green eyes. This guy looked exactly what Ezra said and th-then I told Soph to run away and hide wh-when he ra-ran to-to-towards me an-and hit me-me on the he-head." By now Jamie was crying again, I just stayed quiet and wrapped him in my arms again, trying to calm him again.

"I'm sorry Rory! I-I sh-should have gone back!" He wailed as he clung to me.
"Hey! Look at me!" I said sternly, his crying subsided a little so he was just hiccuping when he looked me in the eyes, " You did NOTHING wrong. You here me? You did the right thing telling Sophie to run when you did. If you didn't she probably be here too! So don't apologize! Besides! We are getting out of here!" I said as I started to get up, pulling Jamie up with me.
"You are?! How?!" He asked as his eyes widen in hope. I smirk at him as I held my hand out.
" You see Jamie, just like you, I have friends on the other side." And with that a pair of keys fell out of thin air and into the palm of my hands. His eyes opened even further with shock.
"How?!" I shushed him as I bent down and tried to find the lock and the right key in the dark. I finally felt the right key slide into the lock and undid my shackle.
"Yes! Triumph!" (AN: Let's see who can guess were that was from ; ) ) I yelled in a whisper. I straighten up, feeling a huge smile on my face and looked at Jamie, who was staring at me as if I was Santa.
"Ok, first Jamie we're gonna have to be really quiet, okay?" I asked him and he zipped his lips and nodded his head as he waited for me to continue.
"Kay, second stay with me. At. All. Times! Unless I tell you other wise, got it?" I asked him seriously, he looked at me and just nodded his head again.
" Alright, let's get you home buddy, I bet Jackie boy is going nuts looking for you!" I said trying to cheer him up a bit. Hey, since I've started hearing and getting things from my dead friend, I have no room to judge.
Fire by Sleeping with Sirens"Yeah! Hey! Maybe Jack and the others are already looking for us too!" He exclaimed in such a childish way, hope beaming through his eyes, I couldn't dare tell him otherwise.
"Yeah Jamie, I bet they are, now let's go!" I replied as I grabbed his hand and made our way towards the door. It felt weird to walk this much after being confined for so long, I paused a bit to grab some blankets, and then we continued toward the cellar doors.
I walked up towards the doors and gabbed the lock and fumbled with the keys for a second. I finally opened it and pushed the doors open and we slowly made our way out.
It took me a second to get used to the sudden chill. I slowly looked around and almost cried at how beautiful the snow looked. I glanced up at the moon, it's light fell on us and for the first time, in weeks, I felt safe.
I missed this. I thought softly, as I breathed in the cold night air. Shaking my head out of these thoughts, I grabbed Jamie's hand again, after I had wrapped him and I both in blankets, and trudge throw the snow in a quick pace.
I felt Jamie struggled to keep up as I was running through the forest, trying to create as much distance between us and the cabin as possible.
Of course my escape meant nothing to head as I started to here Eve's voice again
"Hurry up Rory! Run faster!" It whispered in my ear. Normally I would had yelled and told it to fuck off, but I had Jamie, and I needed to get him to safety.
"Come on Jamie! We need to hurry!" I tried to urge him on as I felt him start to get slower.
"Im trying Rory!" He cried desperately as he tried to pick up his speed.
" Come here Kid!" I grunted out as I swiftly picked up Jamie onto my shoulders. I felt my legs buckle a bit from the sudden weight. My body was used to this and most of the muscle I head was almost gone from my imprisonment. But I still went on, albeit a bit faster then just dragging Jamie along. We've been running for a bout half an hour when I heard a gun shot.
I heard Jamie gasp in fear I tried to run faster, we had just past a tree when I tripped on its root and sent us both to the ground.
I started to get up when a I felt something push me back down when I heard "Stay down!" and an arrow shot through the darkness and into a tree my head was at.
I Lifted my head a little and surveyed the area when I saw Jared's figure.
"Shit!" I yelled as I pulled Jamie's arm and tried to run in the opposite direction. We got a few feet away when another arrow was shot, this time it landed in the back of my thigh. With a yell of pain we crashed into the snow again.
"Come on Rory! Please!" Jamie begged as he tried to pull me up by himself. I shakily got up and started to limp with him when another arrow went into my back.
"Ahh!" I cried as I fell onto my stomach, tears flowing out of my eyes. I gotta keep going. I though as I struggled to get up again.
I'll take you there (Ft Shayley Bourget) by Sleeping with SirensAs I finally stood up I could vaguely see some shadow figure in the distance. It was about five solid figures all ranging in different heights. I rubbed my eyes thinking I'm seeing this but when I looked again I saw Jamie staring at the same place I was, his face in a huge smile. I could distinctly hear voices and I strained my ears trying to figure out what they were saying.
After about a minute I could here a faint call saying, " Jamie!" as it echoed a bit. I shared a look with Jamie and we both started to run towards the figures. Finally! I thought as my hope was starting to flicker back in me, but was quickly doused when an arrow struck a tree next to me.
I quickly looked at Jamie before I pulled him into a quick hug, and then shovin g him towards the direction of the figures.
"Rory?" He looked at me with his big brown eyes, looking for all the world like a kicked puppy.
" Sorry bud. But looks like I gotta kick some serious butt before I go home." I said as I ruffled his hair.
"Bu-but your hurt!" He cried as he tried to pull my arm towards to the figures, which were getting closer.
"I'm fine Jamie, but I really need you to be brave for me, okay? Please just go Jamie! I – I'll meet up with you later!" I lied as I keep pushing him to safety. He gave me one last glance, tears falling down his face when he ran towards the figures.
"Okay." I breathed in as I tried to calm my self. I grabbed the arrow that was in my thigh and pulled it out as it made a sickening sound , and my blood stained the snow white ground.
Death bed by There for tomorrow
I took a deep breath and started limping away from were Jamie was heading, as I held the arrow closed to my side. Each step I took was so painful and I desperately wanted to just laid down and sleep. I kept stumbling and falling as I felt my self growing weaker, I could the sounds of footfalls follow me as I continued to make my way though the snow. I managed to trip on another root, but this time I had no energy to get up, even if the voice was saying other wise.
My eyes were closed when I heard his footsteps stopped beside me. I didn't even open them until I felt a kick to my ribs, making me gasp in pain.
I felt a hand grab my hair as I was pulled up. I winced at the pain I was in but I continued to look my captor in the face.
"Jared." I spat in his face.
"Aw Cupid. You've been a bad girl, haven't you? Losing a piece of the game? Naughty, naughty." He tsked as he punched me in my stomach.
"Mmph." I tried to contain in my yell, not wanting him to get to me any more then he already has.
"Aw come on Amori." My eyes widen as he said my name, the last time he did was when he kidnapped us.
"How did you know my name?" I questioned him as I held the arrow tighter to my side, we were a couple of steps away from a cliff, I had a few questions that were bugging me since that night, and I need answers.
"Oh sweet little Rory. I've always known who you were." He chuckled darkly.
""What?" I questioned dumbly.
"I've been watching you for quite a while Amori. You are a very interesting young woman. Always protecting dear Ezra and Eve. How sad you couldn't save her." He said with an evil grin.
"Shut up! Don't you dare talk about her!" I growled at him.
" Haha, poor Amori Valentine. Always alone." He laughed as he began to stroke my cheek, I tried to move away from his touch.
"Why?" I asked, glaring at him.
"I've told you before Amori, it's part of the game." He said as if it was obvious.
"What the fuck do we have to do with this game?!" I yelled at him
"Well Amori, It all lies with young Ezra." He said, I felt my eyes widen and my breath caught in my throat.
"What about him?" I asked him, fear starting to plant itself in my chest.
"He's a believer, Amori, as well as that young Jamie who escaped." He scoffed.
"A-a believer?" I asked confused. What the hell was he talking about.
"Yes, he believes in those stupid Guardians." He said darkly.
"Guardians?" I repeated.
"The Guardians, or as you know them as; Santa, The Tooth fairy, Sandman, The Easter Bunny, and let's not forget about old Jack Frost." He said as he laughed his humorless laugh again.
"Those aren't real. They're just legends." I replied back, they can't be.
"Oh but they are. The legends are real, and I know you've been in the company of one of those legends." He whispered in my ears.
"Wha-"
"Don't play dumb Amori! It doesn't suit you!" He hissed at me, " How else did you get my keys?! I know you've been talking to one! What, you just think I left you down there without any surveillance?!" He yelled.
I looked at him in shock, I never realized he had cameras in the cellar.
"So what about it?" I yelled back in fake arrogance.
" Do you remember those drawings from the house?" He asked me.
"Yes." I said hesitantly, fearing where this was going.
"Five believers. Eve being six, oh yes, I was watching her too." He said with a smirk.
"I've been waiting for you to finally believe, Amori. And once I find that Jamie, I will finally have Eight." He whispered before he started laughing like a maniac.
No! I can't let him take Jamie! Not Jamie! I thought as I raised the arrow, slowly.
"Over my dead body." I whispered in his ear before I stabbed him through the chest with the arrow, causing him to step back, and pulling us over the cliff.
There was a brief period of weightlessness and peace before we came tumbling down, hitting rocks and tree roots in the process.
We finally landed with a thud, the snow flying out around us. I slowly tried to get up when I felt a pain go through my chest. I looked down at my chest and almost fainted. The arrow in my back must have been pushed during the fall, causing it to go straight throw my chest, just like Jared's.
"Ahh. AHHH!" I screamed as I fell on my back in pain and shock.
Birdy-Skinny LoveI can't believe it. I thought numbly as I looked at Jared's still form. I slowly reached my arm a checked his pulse.
Nothing.
" Thank God." I cried silently as I laid back down. I stared up at the sky and saw the moon, I smiled a little as I felt it's light wash over me. It was finally over, no more kidnappings, no more murders. Children will be safe tonight, Jamie and Ezra are safe.
"You see that Eve? I did it." I whispered as my tears fell down my cheeks, freezing over from the cold. I was so happy and content, I didn't even feel could anymore. My vision though started to get blurry.
" I see Rore. You did good." I heard Eve's voice reply back softly, I smiled at the voice,"Looks like you have company, I'll be back" She said.
"Wait." I tried to call out but my voice was nothing but a whisper.
"Hey! North! I think I found her!" I heard a boy's voice, about my age, yell above me. Who's that? I thought as my focus came in and out as I stared at the sky, it's black color was starting to change in a morning dark purple as the sun was beginning to rise. I heard some shuffling around me, footfalls coming closer.
"Ohmygosh!" I heard a female voice gasp in shock, a weird chirping following her.
"О, нет!" I heard a thick Russian accent said tone.
"Crickey, this is bad mate." I heard an Australian accent say in a sad tone.
"We're were too late." The boy said in anger and sadness.
"At least ve got Jamie, Jack." The Russian voice said. I fluttered my eyes open at his name.
" Jamie?" I whispered out, the voices immediately quieted and after a few seconds faces were visible through darken vision.
"North!" The girl said, she looked green and feathery.
"I think she heard us!" the boy said again, he looked blue and I think I could see white hair.
"Oi Sheila, say that again?" The Australian said, in a soft voice, he looked roughly like a bunny.
"Jamie, Wh-where?" I tried to speak but the pain in my chest was starting to hurt more. I looked at the figures and I saw a little golden man start to push me back down, shapes bursting out of, golden sand above his head.
"Rest, little one. Jamie is okay. He is safe." The Russian guy said as he tried to calm me down, he looked like-
"Sa-Santa?" I gasped in shock. Jared was telling the truth, I looked around and saw the others and named them softly.
"Easter bunny, Too-tooth fairy, san-sandman," I paused to cough up blood a bit, moving my head slightly to the left, he looked sad and the others looked at him in pity? Where have I seen him before? My eyes widen in realization as I slowly lifted my left hand and poked his check, " Jack Frost." I finished with a smile. Jamie and Ezra were right.
"You can see me?" he asked in shock, I gave him a small smile before I answered him, "You were all Jamie talked about." I joked as I gave a soft chuckle.
He gave me a sad smile, " Jamie's safe?" I asked again to make sure.
"Yeah, he's safe and sound." Jack said.
"Good." I said as tears began to fall down my face, my body starting to slip away, "I couldn't let him get Jamie. Not Jamie." I blubbered to them, they gave each other sad looks.
"He-He was suppose to be eight. I couldn't let him get to eight! Not after Eve!" I pleaded with them as I started to panic.
"Shh. It's ok." Jack tried to soothe me, "Sandy? A little help?" He asked Sandman.
"Wait! I- I wa-I want to see the snow first!" I cried, the snow was the last thing I had to be happy about. The snow was my favorite. Jack looked at the others before sitting up slightly with his staff, with a slight move the staff flashed a brilliant blue. A second later it was snowing.
I lifted my hand up and giggled as I caught a snowflake, "Pretty." I whispered before I shed a tear and began singing.
"Come on skinny love just last the year,
Pour a little salt we were never here,
My my my, my my my, my-my my-my...
Staring at the sink of blood and crushed veneer.
Tell my love to wreck it all,
Cut out all the ropes and let me fall,
My my my, my my my, my-my my-my...
Right in the moment this order's tall.
And I told you to be patient,
And I told you to be fine,
And I told you to be balanced,
And I told you to be kind,
And in the morning I'll be with you,
But it will be a different kind,
'Cause I'll be holding all the tickets,
And you'll be owning all the fines.
Come on skinny love, what happened here?
Suckle on the hope in light brassieres,
My my my, my my my, my-my my-my...
Sullen load is full, so slow on the split.
And I told you to be patient,
And I told you to be fine,
And I told you to be balanced,
And I told you to be kind,
And now all your love is wasted,
Then who the hell was I?
'Cause now I'm breaking at the britches,
And at the end of all your lines."
I paused for a second before singing again softly, by now all the Guardians had tears falling down their faces as the listen to me sing.
" Who will love you?
Who will fight?
And who will fall far behind?"
I took another breath before I closed my eyes, still singing,
"Come on skinny love,
My my my, my my my, my-my my-my...
My my my, my my my, my-my my-my."
I finished singing and took in my last breath, never feeling more happy and at peace in my whole life.
