His Evil Half

Chapter 6: U Don't Have 2 Be Jack To Be Cold

Jack flew up to Jamie's window and gently lowered the kid through it. "It was nice to see you again, Jack." Jamie smiled, climbing into bed. "Me too, Jamie." Jack said. "Nice meeting you, Jamie." Vanessa added, gently flapping her white feathery wings to keep herself level. "Yeah." Tooth agreed, looking a bit grumpy. "Goodbye." "Goodbye." Jack, Vanessa and Tooth said. Jamie smiled back and pulled up his blanket, closing his eyes. Jack, Vanessa and Tooth flew away from the window. "Too bad Sandy isn't here, huh?" Vanessa asked. "He could send Jamie to sleep right away." "Yeah." Jack said. They shared a laugh. Tooth was following them distances away, but inside, her jealousy of Vanessa was growing. Jack probably prefers her perfect lavender hair over my ruffled feathers… Her feelings were getting out of control. Soon this jealousy would probably develop into hatred…

"Hey, Jack." Vanessa asked. "This seems stupid to ask, but… what happened before I became…well, this?" Jack gaped at her. "You can't remember either?!" "Um…no." Vanessa confessed. "Well, if you don't, Tooth should have them." Jack said. Vanessa stared at him. "Tooth?" He nodded. "She's the guardian of Memories." Vanessa was still confused. "What does collecting teeth have to do with memories?" Jack sighed. He stopped and explained to her. "The teeth contain those memories, the important ones. Tooth guards them at her palace for them to be used later when they are needed." "So, are you saying that Tooth could have my memories?" "I dunno, but it's worth a try." "Yes!" Vanessa said. She was more excited than ever. Finally, she could find out who she was, how she became like this!

Vanessa quickly flew over to Tooth, who was trailing behind very slowly. "Tooth!" Tooth looked up. Vanessa was surprised to see grudgingness in her eyes. "Yes?" The fairy grunted. "Jack says you're the Guardian of Memories." "Yeah, so?" "I was wondering if you had my memories." "I don't know about that." Tooth grumbled in reply. "Fly to the palace and check yourself! You've got wings!" Vanessa was taken aback by her reply. Why was Tooth acting so cold suddenly? "But I don't know where it is!" She stuttered. "Jack says that-"At that moment, Tooth lost it. "Jack says this! Jack says that!" She yelled into the lavender head's face. "Can you stop saying that?! It's seriously annoying!" Tooth's voice filled the entire street. Luckily, no one woke up. "What? I'm sorry, I just wanted to-"Vanessa started to say. "Whatever." Tooth muttered angrily. "Tooth!" It was Jack. He hovered on the air toward them. "What's wrong with you, she just wanted her memories!" "Oh, there you go, ganging up on me!" Tooth growled. Jack and Vanessa were shocked. "G-Ganging up-?" Jack stammered. Tooth's eyes were now entirely filled with anger. "You always side with Miss Perfecta, don't you, Jack?!" "No, I was just-"Jack started to say. Tooth shifted her fiery glare to Vanessa. "Oh. Never mind! I'm going!" With that, Tooth took off into the sky. "What was that about?" Jack asked worriedly. "I'm not sure." Vanessa said. "Okay, that's it. I have to go too." Jack Frost quickly zoomed off in another direction. Vanessa looked at the paths where Jack and Tooth had gone. She sighed. Oh, no. There had to be an explanation for this.
