Fool Proof - Fire Proof
Jack shook his head and kept repeating things over and over as he watched Artemis fiddle with her jacket.
"It won't work, i never took a human back, a-and-" Jack was starting to run out of excuses especially as Artemis grabbed his staff and rambled on.
"But i want to meet this Bunnymund, oh then Tooth can check my teeth, then i can talk to the 'Russian Santa' about missed presents, and apologize to the sandman for not getting enough-" Jack cut her off by cupping his hand over her rambling mouth from behind. His cold body temperature bit into her skin in an odd sensation.
"Fine...But you can't stay!" He barked, leaving Artemis to squeal and tear away from his hold.
"Lets go!" She said waving around his staff, quickly taking it back before she magically broke it. He stared at her in a bit of surprise, earlier today he saw her foundling with a boy. And now she wanted him to take her to his world. He was angry and happy at the same time, he also loved the fact that she was more excited then usual.
Artemis bounced around lightly, she was thrilled, she finally got to meet the characters Frost had described all of these years. She watched as Jack take his staff and hold it out in the middle of her room. Frost emitted from it in a delicate manor, swirling around in an circle.
"Alright this is the portal!" He announced as the hole split open. Artemis watched in amazement at the bright light coming from it. Jack reached over to her, snaking his arm around her waist. Causing her to yelp and jump lightly, all the while he was smirking widely. He held her tightly to him, careful not to hurt her. Then he sprung into the portal silently not leaving a sound against the creaky wood floors.
Artemis blushed lightly as she was squished against him. The icy cold temperature pierced through her clothes and to her skin, leaving it tingling and wanting a closer feel. As they jumped through the portal she was glad she had Jack hold her. She gripped tightly onto his icy jacket, which caused him to chuckle. She expected a rough landing as they came from the ceiling but Jack of course caught her.
"Don't loose your faith in me too much" He joked as he planted his feet to the wooden floors still holding her. He peered around the lightly dimmed room, scanning to see if anyone was there really, luckily there wasn't. He grinned and let out a laugh in relief.
"I thought i was going to loose ya" He chuckled bending down slightly, not that she really complained, but rather pouted. She looked around the room to see it was made mostly out of wood with a dim lit fireplace.
"J-Jack...where is everyone?" She asked a bit confused. He stood up straight and smiled lightly.
"Dunno...Lets go find them!" He replied with a devious smirk. Artemis looked at him worriedly, for the sake of her. Whenever he got that smirk, there was always trouble. He walked forward with her still attached to him, he paused and looked down at her and spoke with a playful tongue.
"Wanna find out why I'm on the naughty list?" He asked, she shook her head no but Jack continued walking until he reached a door.
"Trust me you'll like it" He retorted looking at her worried face, he swung open the door revealing what seemed like another world. A large globe with millions and millions of lights was spinning around, and beyond that seemed to be a workshop of some sort.
Artemis let go of Jack reluctantly and stared i awe. She absolutely loved everything, her face was at its mark, she couldn't smile any bigger. Jack wrapped his arm around her waist again ready to take off.
"C'Mon lets go see if North will take a liking to you"
