Hey guys. Sorry about the delay. I had so many good ideas. Please note that in the last chapter if forgot to mention a few things. 1) Summer has freckles 2) I said her shorts were grey in one spot and tan in the other, well they are tan 3) the charms on the bracelet are shaped like suns. Comment please. Got suggestions, please tell me but no guarantees.
Disclaimer: I do not own ROTG, only Summer Haze because I made her up.
Summer's POV
"Bly, me! Have you been here the whole time, Sheila?" Bunny exclaimed.
"Yeah." I said dropping my eyes to the ground.
"Oh, why couldn't we see you?" Tooth asked me.
"Well, I'm not exactly sure. No one has ever been able to see me until now." I told them.
"That must have been horrible."
"Well, you kind of get used to it after 118 years." I smiled half-heartedly.
"Wow. I could be seen by the guardians, so I wasn't that alone." Jack told me.
"Not to be rude, but Summer and I need to talk." North told everyone. They all nodded. "Follow me." He instructed, so I did.
He walked me through the workshop, and it was amazing.
"Wow, North! I've always wanted to see what it was like in here."
"Eh, its not all that great when you've spent a long time in here." We walked past a yeti who was painting a bunch of robots blue. He had just finished when North said, "I don't like it. Paint it red." The yeti growled in frustration, and hit his head on the table causing a bunch of the robots to fall off of their stand. I giggled at the sight.
We walked until we reached a room, which I assumed was North's office. "Ah, here we are, my office." He said. I was right. "So, lets find out what's at your center." He said as the door shut behind us.
"My what?" I asked.
"What's in here." He said pointing to my heart. "Let me show you what I mean." He walked over to a shelf, and picked up a Russian doll that looked like him. "You might see me as, intimidating, but get to know me better, and you'll find that I'm…" He urged me to finish the sentence, and open up the doll.
"That you're jolly, and mysterious, and fearless, and caring." I said as I opened up each doll.
"Yes! Yes! And at my center."
I opened up the last one, and there was a tiny baby with gigantic blue eyes. "A baby with big eyes."
"Yes! Big eyes! Eyes that see wonder, and imagine things. I put wonder into the world! That is why I am the Guardian of Wonder! Do you understand now?" He asked me. I nodded. "Now, what's at your center?" He asked me.
"I-I don't know." I stuttered.
"Well, you will find out eventually." He gave me a smile. "Come, you should tell the other guardians and me about yourself."
At that moment, we both heard Bunnymund yell, "JACK FROST!"
"I think we should go see what's going on." I told North.
"I think your right. Not even Manny knows what happens when those two get at each other's throats." He agreed.
We both ran back to the other guardians. Tooth and Sandy were staring at Jack and Bunny dumbfounded. Bunny was frozen to the floor by ice up to his knees, while Jack was rolling around on the floor laughing his head off.
"Oi, when I get my hands on you Frostbite, I'm gonna rip your head off ya murderer!" Bunnymund screamed.
Jack immediately stopped laughing, got in Bunny's face, and said, "I am not a murderer."
"Of course you are. People do die of frostbite you know, and not to mention your sister, she almost died because of you!"
"Don't you ever mention my sister again! I saved her didn't I?" Jack said defensively.
"What ever will let you sleep at night!" Bunny mumbled.
"You know what! I'm outta here!" Jack screamed, and flew out the window.
I was so mad at Bunnymund, I walked up to him and said, "You know what Kangaroo, you crossed the line! Jack would never hurt anyone on purpose! Leave him ALONE!" I screamed at Bunny. "I'm a nice person, and the only person who can melt this ice really fast, so I'll melt it, but don't you ever do that to Jack again." With that, I touched the ice, and it melted almost instantaneously, and flew out the window after Jack.
I flew up high into the air, and saw a little moving blue dot in the distance, so I flew as fast as I could in that direction. I caught up to him pretty easily, considering he stopped after a while.
"Hey, are you ok?" I asked cautiously as I sat landed next to him.
"No. No I'm not. Bunny is right you know. I am a murderer."
"No your not, Jack. You kind and sweet and can start a mean snowball fight. You would never hurt anyone on purpose."
"What do you know."
"I know because I've had the same doubts. I have caused people to have heat stroke, and get sunburns all over the place. I always feel bad, but I know that I can't always be perfect. There are some things that you can't control. You saved your sister, Isn't that all that matter?" He was silent. "I guess I'll just go, just think about what I said." I told him.
I started to fly away back towards North's workshop. I had gotten about 20 feet when all of the sudden, I couldn't move, and I fell out of the sky.
"JACK!" I screamed with the last of my energy. I hit the snow and it burned my skin. My body parts had been frozen over. I started to shake uncontrollably, and black spots danced in my vision. The last thing I remember was feeling two cold limbs wrap around me.
Jack's POV
I was thinking about what Summer had said when I heard her scream my name at the top of her lungs.
I snapped around, and saw her falling out of the sky and hit the snow. Her skin immediately started to turn paler, and frost appeared on her. She was shaking really fast and violently. I knew what I had to do.
I scooped her up in my arms, and flew to back to North's workshop as fast as I could, no matter how much I didn't want to see Bunny. But I knew Summer's life depended on it. I tried to block her limp body from the wind as much as possible as I called upon the winds to take us back as fast as they could.
I flew back in the window that I had flown out of.
Bunny had his feet in a bucket of warm water. "Jack, there you are mate! Sorry about what I said. It was wrong. Hey, where's Sheila?"
I frantically held her cold body out, and North yelled, "Phil, get us a bucket of scolding hot water and some rags." Phil ran off very quickly sensing the urgency of the situation. "Jack, hand her to me. You will only make her colder." North insisted. As much as I didn't want to, I knew he was right. I handed her over.
"Get her to the infirmary." Tooth commanded. North ran her there, and everyone else followed. I was so worried. This was my fau- wait, this is exactly the kind of thing Summer would say not to do, so I just focused on getting her better.
North laid her down on the bed. Phil ran in with the bucket of water, and some rags.
"Jack, get lots of extra blankets." North said.
I flew out as fast as I could and grabbed the first five blankets that I could find. "Here." I said handing them to Bunnymund, who was told to put them over her.
As this was happening, North began putting the hot rags on her forehead to help heat her up. Then one on over her heart, one on each hand, and foot.
Sandy sprinkled some sand over her for good measure.
"Why don't you leave. Tooth and I will take good care of her." North said. We all reluctantly left the room.
Sandy, Bunny, and I all fiddled in the globe room in silence waiting for some news. About half an hour later, Tooth came out and said, "She's doing well. North says that she'll probably be up within an hour." We all sighed in relief. "Unfortunately, she will have to go back some place warmer because of the weather here. North says I should wait here until she is up."
That's a bit disappointing that she has to, but at least she's not dead. I thought to myself.
Sure enough, about half an hour later, North walked out of the room with Summer at his side wrapped up in a blanket.
"Summer! You're ok! I'm so happy!" I flew up to her, and gave her a hug. She was nice and warm.
"I'm glad too, but could you let go of me, no offence, but your kind of cold." She gave me a smile that said, sorry.
"Oh, It's fine. I understand I said." I told her.
"The one thing I don't understand, is why the cold didn't effect you until now?" Bunnymund said. Sandy agreed judging by the question mark over his head.
"Well, It's kind of a long story." She told us.
Summer's POV
I told them my life story about the bracelet, and the tree, and other details.
"Wow. I've never even heard of anything like that before." Tooth said.
"Watch, I'll use another one, considering that I'll probably be here for a while longer." I pulled one of the charms off, and it disappeared, and I didn't feel cold anymore, thank Manny. "See? That's it. Now, I want to take the pledge to become a true Guardian."
"Alright then. Music!" North called.
"I, Summer Haze, pledge to protect all children, good or bad, from the evils of the world." (A/N Sorry about the pledge. I couldn't find the actual words anywhere, so I just made them up)
"Congratulation! You are now a Guardian." North declared.
Everyone congratulated me and told me that they were glad to have me as a part of their family, and I knew, that I would never be alone again.
