Me: Hallo! Wisdom: ... Me: Wisdom? Wisdom: ... Me: Oh, ya! I knocked him out! I don't own the movie Rise of the Guardians!

Enjoy, my fellow birds!

~Chapter 7: The Threat Destroyes Something Before Christmas~ (Pitch's POV)

"AHHHHH!" I shrieked as I was knocked to the floor by that Kangaroo's boomerangs. Damn that girl! If she hadn't fed me that infernal soup, I wouldn't be in this mess! I felt a furry hand grab the scruff of my robe and pull me up to eyelevel. He glowered into my eyes as he growled,"Do that again and I'll rip your heart out." For a bunny, he can really be intimidating. Dropping me on the floor, he hopped away as if nothing had happened. I snorted. Typical. I stood up and dusted myself off. I started to walk in the opposite direction of the rabbit when I heard giggling coming from farther down the path, coming closer. I looked around for a safe haven when I saw her round the corner. All I saw was a closet. I rushed inside and was swallowed in shadows. I sighed in relief as I heard the running footsteps of the devil fade. I just stayed in the dark, pondering about my life. Why was I chosen? Did the moon just want to make my life miserable? Well, if he meant to do that, he is suceeding. It's just like the dream I had...bah, nevermind! I'll leave when the threat's gone; they can't MAKE me be a Guardian! I'll resist, fight if I have to...KNOCK KNOCK! "Hey emo! Are ya in there?!" screamed the pest. Oh crap(Pitch curses a lot. :3)she knows I'm here! Standing up, I grabbed ahold of the handle, blocking her from being able to twist it open. "Hey-a! Let go of the handle!" 'In your dreams pest,' I thought darkly,'or nightmares.' Suddenly, the cold metal became very, very warm to the touch. I leaped back, holding my burned hand.

The door opened up and showed me the culprit of the injury; Cupula. She had a flame dancing around her fingers as she grinned up at me. "North wants us to meet in the Globe Room!" she chirped. I sighed; what does that bumbling oaf want now? "What does he want?" I groaned, pinching the bridge of my nose to block the incoming headache. Today was going to be a long day. "Didn't say." She extinguished the miny fire and started to run down the hallway. "C'mon, slowpoke! Last one there's a rotten EGG!" I walked to the Globe Room where the other Guardians were waiting for me. "Took ya long enough," came the annoying voice. I rolled my eyes. "What do you want?" "We're here to talk about the threat that is threatening the children; What should we do?" I'd love to shake the hand of the person who is making the Guardians be this scared; it's so amusing to watch them squirm in discomfort. As if Sanderson could read my thoughts, I caught him glaring at me. I glared back; of COURSE he would be able to sense the thought! I was brought out of the glare by Toothiana,"I think we can't do anything until he strikes; we don't know who he is, where he is, and what he's planning." "Yeah, but we can make peperations! I call dibs on weapons!" excaimed Jack.

Sanderson made an X over a gun. I agreed with him; I didn't think we needed weapons. We needed to be on our gaurd, not be distracted by creating weapons. "We just need to be on our guard,"I stated looking around in a bored fashion. All of the Guardians except for Cupula(who was looking at the blinking lights in wonder) looked at me like that was the first time I said anything smart in my life. I inwardly scoffed. "Pitch's right,"admitted Bunny,"We have to be on our-" We all heard something explode in the toy section of the workshop...and saw smoke flood the hallways...

~LINE BREAK~

(Cupula's POV)

As the others coughed the smoke out, I breathed it in delight; smoke increased the effectivity of my powers. Plus the smell of burning wood and plastic is so wonderful. Again, I became sad when I realised that no one loved the smell of smoke. They all thought it was a danger too. I saw my friends cough and fall to their knees. Even though I hated to do this, I had to destroy the fire that was poisoning my friends. I quickly ran into the room where the smoke was coming from. Thousands of presents were on fire. Destroyed work of the Yetis and North. I grabbed ahold of my smoking power(I knew the smoke that I had breathed in would be useful)and closed the door behind me. I let all the smoke out, poisoning the fire's fuel. The oxygen. I too needed oxygen, so I knew that I would need to hold my breath to survive longer than the fire. It 56 seconds for the fire to go out and for me to pass out. I twitched my ears slowly. The last thing I saw were two blood-red eyes glinting at me through the smoke...

~LINE BREAK~

(Sandy's POV)

I saw the black fog clear out of the room fast. At first I thought it was Pitch's nightmare sand, but then I saw Pitch coughing with the rest of us...wait! Cupula isn't here! I got everyone's attention and made a minifigure of the girl and a question mark. Tooth widened her eyes and flew toward a closed door that had smoke coming out at the bottom of it. She was in there! Slowly, the fairy opened the door to not get flooded with smoke again. I came over there and peered into the room. Hundreds of presents were badly burnt and in the middle of the room lay the cat-hybrid. I ran toward her and tried to awaken her by tugging at her scarf. It was ironic; the man who makes people go to sleep is trying to awaken someone. I failed to awaken her. I finally noticed that the rest of the Guardians and Pitch were around me. North picked up the unconcious tween bridal style. We all froze when we saw the glowing red eyes on a shadow on the wall.

"Hello everyone...liked my little 'present?'"
