(Sorry guys for the really late update. Again! Not on purpose. This weekend, I should be able to get back on track.)
How Do You Love Someone?
Chapter 22 - Claustrophobia
"Red Rover, Red Rover, can Jackie come over?" Followed by someone plopping down on his stomach was what Jack woke up too. Apparently Fay wasn't one to dwell on bad experiences. He sat up partially to glimpse the girl laying across his stomach on her own and giggling.
"Jackie? And who gave you the sugar rush. It better not be Bunny and his chocolate eggs." But the words were said through a grin at her antics. He would rather her be goofy like this then depressed over what happened yesterday. Fay laughed and shook her head at him before rolling away from his reaching grasp.
Groaning, Jack pulled himself out of bed, snatching his hook before chasing after Fay who had slipped through the door. The halls were almost eerily empty in the wake of the Christmas rush with all the yetis and elves sleeping off the late night. All he could hear was her soft chuckling and laughing whispers as she egged him on.
Putting on a burst of speed, he saw her turn a corner and darted after her. She had cornered herself and laughed when he caught up and pinned her to the wall.
"You're a tease you know that?" he laughed and she toyed with his hair. As their breathing slowed to a normal pace, he noted that she was wearing the outfit he first saw her in. Black and layered with soft tones of purple with a short skirt that had been pinned between her legs by one of his own. And that thought brought forth the new interesting position they were in. Leaning his head down, he nipped at the base of her neck, enjoying the soft moan she quickly stifled. As things grew heated, Fay's legs wrapped around his waist and he lifted her up a bit, hands cupping her thighs, keeping her trapped between himself and the wall.
"Apparently she likes being pinned to vertical walls. I know the idea is new to you, but can we please get this over with. I haven't got all day" A sarcastic tone lilted from behind them. Fay hid her face in Jack's shoulder, a habit he never wanted her to grow out of, as he let her feet fall back to the floor. Cupid was there, tapping impatient fingers against his crossed arms. It was immediately apparent that Cupid's annoyance was angled more at Fay and Jack placed himself in Cupid's line of sight, drawing the love spirit's attention.
The others were awake apparently and what had Jack teasing Bunny was the lone green feather that was trapped under his boomerang harness. Tooth must have kept the other Guardian company for the night. But North had quickly silenced the arguing pooka and frost spirit so they could go over last night's escapade.
"Fay was attacked last night by Darkling. I say she stay in presence of three Guardians at all time. And no more going out in open" Sandy's images darted back and forth in a confused jumble as Tooth, Bunny and Jack all attempted to speak at the same time. Cupid stayed quiet and watched. Fay, who was being ignored had decided she'd had enough of this. Lifting herself into the air on large wings, tail lashing angrily as she displayed her Halloween powers. Her white locks floated about her face and a pair of black and white horns spiraled from her hair to curl back in smooth curves only to dissipate as a mist that swirled around her, displaying the mayhem often present in her holiday.
"ENOUGH!" her sharp tone, normally soft drew their stunned attention. "I am not going to be trapped here! I know Darkness wants me even if I don't know why. It's why I agreed to an escort and I even let someone else take over my job. But keeping me in this one place is too much! I am a spirit, wild and free, and you will not keep me like a pet!" her outrage left in a rush and she spun to speed out to the main entrance of the Workshop. Jack started after her when Cupid beat him to it.
"I wasn't involved in the argument so let me talk to her. She might get upset if one of you tried" The olive skinned spirit smiled at him and started after Fay with a ruffle of small dove wings. They didn't look like they would hold his weight.
Fay stood in the snow. She had no intention to really leave. She just didn't like to be held in one spot for long. She missed her home and her imps. She didn't even know what she wanted anymore. The last two months had been confusing and she had been strained at first, and now she was stressed. Her imps weren't as productive as they should have been since Bunny wasn't the best at handling thier particular brand of problems. It was too much to handle at the moment.
A hand toughed her shoulder and she gave a small smile, Jack must have come to check on her. Turning, she started to apologize when everything went black.
