The horse didn't listen, it bounded off and knocked Raven out of Bunny's hands. Raven screamed as it snarled and stamped its hooves at her. "Hey!" Everyone looked at Paul. "I said..." She seemed to be glowing. "Don't..." Her eyes were glowing red with black outlines, "Touch..." She started to float up, glowing brighter, "My sister!" She erupted with light and the horse disappeared with a daunting cry. Raven ran up to her sister as she fell to the ground. On her knees, she cupped her sisters face. "Raven..." She passed out. "What just happened?" Asked Jack, "I'm not sure." Replied North.
Tooth came up to Raven and picked her up, "Hey sweetie. I'm Tooth, what's your name?" "My names Raven, what's wrong with my sister?" Tooth cradled her and smiled reassuringly, "Your sister's fine. She's just tired." Bunny knelt down in front of Paul, "What are we gonna do with these two? Sandy?" Sandy shook his head, there was no way that he was knocking these two out. North spoke up, "Everyone saw what I saw. What that girl did, no one normal can do. What do you think caused that?" "I don't know, but her sister seems concerned about her. Maybe we should help them?" Tooth had a point, but Bunny however, was against it. "What? And let them know everything? No way." "What's the matter kangaroo? Afraid they might like you?" Jack smirked, Bunny rolled his eyes.
Everything was cold and dark again, but soon it began to get lighter. And Paul opened her eyes. She shot straight up and examined her surroundings. This was not her bedroom. "Hello?" She got up off the lounge she was in and saw a circular object on the desk behind her. She picked it up and shook it, an image of her oak tree appeared. She sighed. She started to walk to the door when she tripped over Raven, who was lying unconscious on the floor. Paul bent down and shook her awake. "Raven? Raven! Wake up." Raven jerked awake, "Where are we, Pauly?" "I don't know, but we're getting out." She walked to the door with Raven beside her. She touched the doorknob, but it was instantly opened by two yeti's. The girls screamed and Paul threw the snow globe at them. It conked one of them on the head, and shattered into a portal on the floor.
"Pauly!" "Come on!" Paul took Ravens little hand and jumped into the portal. It closed and they found themselves in front of their oak tree at night. "We're...we're back?" Paul picked up the snow globe and hid it in her bag, which surprisingly was still there. She knelt in front of Raven, "O.K. listen sis, we have to hide out tonight and figure this out in the morning." "But why? Why can't we just go home?" Paul sighed, "Because those...weird-people-things might come back. And I don't want them to hurt you." Raven understood but something just didn't add up. "But they didn't seem mean, what if they're nice?" "They could be nice, but I don't want to take any chances alright?" She picked Raven up in her arms and carried her past their home. There was a little abandoned building there that they would always play in when they were both little, so chances are they would be safe there because no one ever went in.
There was a bed there that was habitable, so Raven slept there whilst Paul slept on the couch. Paul promised Raven that she would get her breakfast in the morning, if Raven was co-operative and slept well. She was and went straight to bed. She did have her doubts of course, but trusted her sister all the same and both knew the other would Never Ever do something to abolish the other ones trust. Paul had been looking out for herself since she started going out on her own. Once, she was playing in her oak tree one night when she thought she saw something big bound away into the park. She followed it and saw something jump down into a hole. She told her parents about it in the morning, but of course they didn't believe her. She always kept an open mind but eventually chalked it up to a dream.
Paul laid down on the couch and thought about when Raven was born. It was only then when she started to care for something else. She and never had a pet, but had always wanted a cat. Her parents answers were always the same, 'NO.' She secretly hated them for that, but suppressed her anger and resentment to be a good daughter and sister. Whenever Raven got hurt, Paul was always there or not to far away. She recalled the first time that Raven was brought home. Unlike Paul whose birthday was in summer, Ravens was in early winter. Her parents brought Raven home and instantly, Paul took her away. She swung her in her arms and Raven grabbed her finger. From there, Paul felt a bond was made. A protection. Paul would never leave her sisters side, No Matter What.
Paul was soon shaken from daydreams by someone else's voice...coming from Ravens Room. She peered in from the crack in the door to see a tall dark figure standing over Raven. "Hmm, dreaming about trees. Well, let's make it one to remember." The man tried to touch the strange sand hovering over Ravens head, representing her dreams. But whatever he was trying to accomplish didn't work. "What? What is-" "Hey!" Paul bust in, "Get your menacing hands away from her!" She pointed the knife at him and walked to her sister who awakened from Paul's burst in. "Get away from my sister, you creep!" "You think weapons can harm me?" She slashed his hand, and cut it. "Well we'd better hope so." He grasped his hand, he was bleeding. Slightly bleeding, the cut hadn't been that deep but still...bleeding. He took her throat and lifted her off the ground, "What are you?" He asked, "Help!" She Cried, "Raven, get out of here!" Raven bolted for the door, but it close in front of her. "Oh no, I don't think so." Smiled the man.
Back at the pole, the globe was flashing again. This time everyone was there and saw it back down to N.S.W in Australia again. "Could it be the girls again?" Asked Tooth, "Impossible, the girls are in the lounge room." Replied North. The two yeti's ran up and said differently. North translated, "The girls have gone. They used the snow globe." Bunny didn't look happy, "You should keep a better lid on that thing, mate." "Oh, there's no time to argue! They could be in danger!" Tooth looked very concerned. "Tooth's right. But why IS the globe flashing anyway? What's so special about these two?" If anyone could have been paying attention at that time, they would have seen Sandy with his hand behind his back looking away. North nodded, "Yes, we must help these two and figure this out. But first Bunny-" Bunny was gone. All that remained was a single flower.
Bunny jumped in front of the oak tree and followed the small cries, which came from an abandoned building. He snuck inside and saw a single locked door with sounds coming out of it. "Look whatever you want take it! Just let my sister go!" "No, no, no, no. A simple cut to the hand with a knife won't truly hurt me, but why my horse didn't hurt you. I wonder?" Raven ran up and pulled on the mans clothes, "Stop it! Stop it! You're hurting her!" Bunny bust in. The older girl was being chocked by a tall figure whilst the youngest was tugging on its clothing. "Pitch." Bunny snarled, "How'd you get out?" "I have my ways." Bunny got ready to take out his boomerang, "Put the girl down." Raven ran to him, "Help my sister!" She pleaded. Paul managed to kick Pitch in the chest which gained her freedom. She ran up to Bunny and Raven, "Get her out of here! I'll deal with him!" Bunny grabbed her hand and saw her eyes were glowing again.
"Hold it. This guys more powerful than you think. You can't just go fighting him like this after he threatened you. We need to go." "Nobody threatens My Sister and gets away with it!" "Get him later." Her eyes stopped glowing and she nodded. They ran out of the building and Bunny tapped the ground twice. With a leap of faith, Paul jumped in after Bunny with Raven in her arms. They found themselves back at the pole. The guardians gathered around them. Paul held stayed on the floor and held Raven close to her. Raven looked up and recognised everybody, being six years old and all. Tooth came down and shook Ravens hand. "Remember me?" Raven nodded. Paul let go of Raven and stood up. "O.K, I have one question. Who was that 'Pitch' guy? And what does he want with us?" "Pitch?" They all looked confused.
"Yeah! He threatened my sister and almost killed me!" "Whoa, whoa, whoa. Calm down." Jack walked up to her, "Don't tell Me to calm down staff boy! I don't like being almost killed and then approached by different shades of crazy!" She took a breath, everyone looked slightly freaked. Her eyes were glowing again. "I just need some alone time alright? I'll get back to you later." She ran away and came to the roof. She sat down and cried. She looked at the moon, "Man, what am I going to do?" Bunny found her and listened to what she was saying. "I don't know where my parents are, I almost got killed and I think something's going on with me. You've always held some kind of answer before...do you have one now?" "Pauly?" Raven sat next to her, "Everything will be alright." Another voice echoed, "No. It won't." Darkness swirled around and consumed them. Paul hugged Raven close.
"Well look what we have here." Said Pitch as he appeared. "Time to pay your due." He raised his bow and arrow and pointed at them. Bunny jumped in front, "What are you doing?" He shouted, "Getting even." Replied Pitch as he let go, Bunny waited for something to happen, nothing did. He looked up to see Pitch's horrified face. He looked beside him to see Raven was fine. But what about Paul? She was on the ground, in pain. The arrow had hit her and was slowly killing her. Bunny couldn't understand why Pitch looked so horrified. "No...not again." He disappeared. Raven ran to her sisters side. "Pauly! Are you alright?"
"Yeah, I'll be fine." She looked to Bunny, "You a good person?" He nodded, "T...take care of her." She turned to Raven, "Always look to the moon, Rave. It holds the answer and once you find it...you'll know what to do." The black consumed her and she evaporated. Raven jumped and grabbed at the air, "Pauly! Pauly wait! Please! Please come back! I'll be good! I promise!" Bunny grabbed her, she gazed at the moon with tears trickling down her face. "Don't leave me..." She pleaded with it, "Its O.K, it wasn't your fault." He said. He walked back down to the other guardians.
"What happened?" Asked North. Bunny told them everything, Tooth comforted Raven through it all. When it was all done, Rave spoke up. "I want my sister back. Where is she?" Her voice sounded choked. "Listen sweetie, your sisters gone away. Um, we'll take care of you until we get you back to your parents alright?" Raven nodded and hugged her. She slept on the couch in North's office. All she could think about as her sister. What would she do now? Now that her sister was gone. As scary as it was, she knew she had to figure out what to do. By herself.
