Chapter 6 – Meeting back up with the living
I own nothing from ROTG, thanks guys for reading this! This is a fun chapter for once, I know, they just kissed. But I'll have more in here too.
North walked into the room and smiled, unlocking the tight straps and helping me sit up. I grinned up at him and the stood up, gathering my bag and defense.
"Thanks for the help North, but I have to go find Jack and talk for a minute." I said, walking out of the door, but quickly stopped by the strong Russian man's arms.
"Evan, I have to talk with you. Go talk to the others, but then meet me in my office." He said in a serious voice, and walked away a little too hastily.
I watched him and then shook my head. Why was HE acting weird? He didn't just get possessed and his true love revealed. I walked in the other direction, and went to the globe room, seeing the others. Tooth was chattering at Bunny, and Sandy were signing each other hastily, like it was a secret.
Tooth spotted me first and gasped, flying over, embracing me in a warm hug. She felt like an old timey jacket, fluffy and oddly soft.
"I hope you and Jack make a good couple. You two are so cute!" she whispered into my ear and flew off, back to her home.
Sandy ran up and gave me a hug and then flew off smiling at me, making a heart with sand. The image faded quickly, making my cheeks turn pink with embarrassment.
Bunny walked up and looked down at me and then quickly scooped me up, like some sort of kitten. I blushed heavily and hugged him, then flew from his arms. "Make sure ya two call me if you want any extra help in bed" he said, going down the tunnels to the Warren.
"What did Bunny want? Making fun of you?" Jack walked up and looked at me worried.
"Nah. But I think he might wanna join in on the bedroom fun sometimes. Or so he says."
"WHAT?! Really? Never took the kangaroo for liking boys, but okay"
I laughed and kissed Jack and walked off, telling him to meet me at our usual place, my old school. Days that I would skip school, me and Jack would usually walk around, joking about anything. I walked down to the workshop and into his office, not seeing the jolly man. Striding in, I approached his desk and saw his pull apart toy with the tiny baby inside. Oh no, not this. I turned on my heel to run out, but it was to late, North was locking the door and grinning.
I looked around and then felt his strong hands push me against the wall, making me whimper out in fear and blush, looking at the oversized man. The scent of hot coco and cinnamon filled my face, making my cheeks turn pinker that Bunny's nose. He stared down at me, and kissed me right on the nose, chuckling deeply. He pulled back and handed me a note, hurrying me out the door.
"Evan,
Don't forget that there is always help for you here, anyway. Bunny probably didn't tell you, but we all have had our eyes on you, but never got the nerve to fess up. Even Pitch wants a piece of you, so be careful. There is a clean new shirt for you in your bag.
Talk later, North"
He wasn't exactly romantic, but it was nice to inform me that I was eyecandy for them. I pulled out the clean shirt, putting it on. The sleeves were gone, but ripped off in a macabre fashion. It was black, like the old one, but had a lighter feeling to it, almost weightless. I'll thank him after this quick trip.
I landed on the roof of the highschool, and looked for my newfound boyfriend, who was nowhere to be seen. I climbed in through the open window and into the busy hallway. No one seemed to notice me, but occasionally somebody would gasp and run off. I looked around and heard laughter in the lunchroom and maneuvered over to the packed room. There in the center of the room was Jack, making pictures of me form in frost. He was making them believe in me, and him. I walked over and heard my dear old friend Alexandria start crying, and rushing over to me, embracing me tight.
"Alexandria! What's wrong?"
"What's wrong? YOUR DEAD, THAT'S WHATS WRONG!" she screamed at me, crying me more.
"Wait I got this, I know what I can do." I said fiddling in my bag and pulling out two of my Incognito Masks, handing Jack one, explaining him to think of himself right now. We put them on, making all of my friends gasp out in surprise at our sudden appearance. I looked around and saw my old friends, Jamission, Essence, Gabe, Zach, Dadric, Demetrious and Alex. They all ran up and questioned me about what happened and how was I here.
After the long explanation of my help and what happened on the recent days to me, they settled down a bit. Essence was all over Jack, trying to pull him into a kiss. I pulled her and to her sadness, informed her that he wasn't single anymore. She pouted and we joined the others.
"Everyone, me and Jack are boyfriends." I said blankly, hugging him and blushing.
Yells of delight and congratulations filled our ears, making us grin sheepishly.
"HEY! YOU GUYS SHOULD KISS!" I heard Aaliyah shout at us, making me giggle nervously. Jack seemed overly happily to comply with her request, giving me a deep and cold kiss. Many gasps filled the room and the freshman principle walked up shouting at us to stop it. I had had it with him, even after death and me not liking to start stuff I walked up to him, and started talking swiftly back.
"Ya know, I'm dead and standing in front of you, and your worried about me making out with frickin' Jack Frost. You, , make me want to scream, especially since I am here to talk with my friends, not you. I've wanted to say this since I met you, but shut. The. Hell. UP!" I say, inches away from his mustached face, making him retaliate about how it was a prank. I pondered for a bit and then looked at him with a sly grin.
"Hey, ever been made fun of? No? Well good, cuz I'll help with that." I said, running through him, and suddenly my eyes were his.
"Hey everybody, look! I'm , and I like to eat my own shorts!" I made him say. People backed up as everyone watched and laughed. I started running down the hall, copying Psy, and Gangnamed down the hall, laughing like a deranged goat. I pushed myself out of his body, laughing and pointing. He looked at me with fear, and running away screaming something about ghosts.
I went back to the lunchroom and got high fives, but Jack frowned
"That wasn't nice. But I approve, since I know that he ruins lives. Almost as bad as Pitch."
I looked down at the mention of his name and Jack quickly apologized.
"I know you guys don't like him, but why are you acting like his name in itself is evil?" Essence said.
"Well, he kinda broke my arm, and then possessed me, making me show my greatest fears and thoughts of them" I said sheepishly to her, making her apologize.
"We gotta go, but I promise I'll be back, okay guys? I said, blushing and smiling up at my old friends. They nodded and walked off as I put the masks back into my bag. I felt bad, leaving them and dying on them, but it wasn't my fault. I told Jack to meet me at the Warren, I had to see something really quick. He left and I flew off to those woods again.
I landed right by the tree and started to read that memorial left for me. Everyone had left some note for me. I started crying because there was a clipping about my other friend that was absent from the crowd, Sam. The article said I had been murdered, and in grief, he had taken his own life. His note said he missed me too much to live and wanted to be with me. I started crying heavily, collapsing against the tree, shaking from my sadness. I heard the chuckle, and stood up, activating my defense tool. Pitch rushed from the woods, socking me in the jaw, knocking me to the ground, on the verge of fainting as my skull hit a large rock on the ground. I felt myself teleport and I passed out fully from the blow.
