I was so giddy, I couldn't help but squeal, and jump up and down, and laugh. All I kept thinking was I'm freeeeeeeeeee! And I've just saved the guardians and I'm frrrreeeeeeeeeeeeeee! I did a little happy dance.
After that the guardians wanted some things explained so I explained it to them. I explained I was still alive because my spirit just left to gain strength, I explained I was the smartest one of me, because I have a 10 year old spirit and a 15 year old mind, and I explained that I could touch the nightmares from a distance because I have a vast imagination.
Well that's a summery of it. I also learned that the reason pitch wanted me was because my fears were strong.
"Enough of that, you are well, and free, and alive, so now I can fulfill these letter's request." North stated.
"What's the request?" I asked.
"That we bring you home."
"What, who are they from?"
I looked at the letters. Oh Adam, you must've really been desperate.
The sleigh ride was fun, like a roller coaster; of course it left my stomach behind. At least I didn't want to hurl like bunny, when it came to the loop-de-loop. Could I call him bunny?
After a trip through a snow globe portal, another abandonment of my stomach, and a rush, we were at my house in Stratford.
"Do you want to know where we found you?" asked Jack.
I thought about it. Well I was curious where I was, but there was still a chance of feeling down knowing how far away I was, or disappointed in myself knowing how close I was. I could also feel upset knowing if I was in someplace I wanted to see, I couldn't see it.
"No, I think it's better if you don't tell me. Why do you ask?"
"No reason. I just, um, thought, um, you didn't know where you were, so you, uh, might've wanted to know." He said quickly. He was hiding something, it was best if I didn't find out what it was.
Before I left to go back inside my house, (I never thought this moment would come) I had one last minute chat with Jack.
"I just want to say, thank you again for saving me."
"Thank you for saving us."
"I was just returning the favor."
"Come on, you love us, and hate him."
"Okay you caught me, I do." I had a question, everyone said he was worried about me; he acted differently then he ever has before, but he didn't even know anything about me. "You seemed changed during all of this." He was silent. "This probably reminded you of what happened with your sister, didn't it? She was in danger, I was in danger, you were worried, and Jill was worried."
He sighed "Yes, it did."
I knew he didn't like to talk about it; it was a scary time for him, but he saved her that's good news. "You saved her, but Jill couldn't save me, Adam couldn't either, they didn't have let's just say, long hooked sticks, and you didn't want me to let's just say, fall through the ice?"
"Yes, you really are smart."
"Thanks?" there was still one more thing on my mind.
"Are you getting revenge on me?"
"What?"
"When I was young, it used to snow way before December 25, and now these past few years, I haven't been going in the snow much and it's nearly a green Christmas."
"Oh, look I'm not getting revenge on you, or whatever. I just feel like the kids here don't enjoy it enough."
"Well how about we make a deal, you help us dodge a bullet with a white Christmas, and I promise I will go out and play in the snow more, that's got to start something right?"
"Okay, but if you stop for no determined reason, I'll leave for a couple of days, no blizzards, no snow days and you'll be seeing green."
"Thanks Jack, it's just what everyone needs after all of this."
"Don't mention-whoa" I just went out and hugged him. You gotta love Jack, even though he does cause some problems, he is a good guy. Everyone wants to hug him.
"Without your help this wouldn't have happened to be the happiest day of my life."
The hug ended. "Good bye jack, good bye guardians."
Then they left, I was kind of sad to see them go, but happy to be home.
