A God's Princess
Eighteen: Finding Out Pt.2
Bunny was pushed aside by the light. The Guardians looked as the thing appeared. North squinted his eyes the light was really bright.
"Odin?" he asked. Odin was standing there in his armor. He looked down to see his daughter dripping in blood. He bent down and grabbed her and the staff in his arms.
"Daddy." Jack whispered so low that the only one to catch it was Bunny and he was in shocked. Odin held her even closer. He would have been late if Heimdallr had not told him. He had just finished the Bifrost and he didn't think he would have to test it to save his daughter from Hela's clutches.
"Odin, we need to get her to the Pole." North told him trying to get Jacqueline back.
"She's coming home." Odin told him. "You four are welcome to come with her." He told them.
"We're not letting her go alone." Bunny told him, he didn't trust the God too much. Odin just nodded his head.
"Heimdallr open the portal." Odin said. They were all surrounded in light and were taken up.
#
They arrived in Asgard and Sandy smiled. The other three were in shocked.
"Father!" Thor boomed out. Loki was right behind him they had heard the Bifrost was complete and they were about to travel to earth but they both froze as they saw Jacqueline bleeding out in their father's arms. They looked around to see the other four standing there.
"Did you four do this?" Loki demanded.
"Calm down you gumby, we would never hurt Jacqueline." Bunny said.
"Right, like we are to believe any of you, well except for the Sandman." Loki said. He knew that Jacqueline was close to the dream-weaver.
"Loki is right; we know not what you would be capable of." Thor said and he was ready to swing Mjolnir.
"Thor, Loki we need to get Jacqueline to the healers." Odin ordered. He moved faster and the Guardians were right behind them.
They arrived and Frigga was already there, with the healers in the room. Everyone was pushed out of the room.
"We want ta see her?" Bunny said.
"There is nothing to be done Aster." Odin told him. Bunny opened his eyes wide; nobody used his birth name ever.
"Odin, wat you mean bring her home?" North asked.
"I believe Jacqueline was about to inform you on this trip about herself." Odin told him.
"We, we made a mistake Odin." North told him.
"What sort of mistake?" Thor asked.
"Jacqueline was giving snow days and blizzard but it is still Fall and we assumed she was doing it because she was trying to take over the other season." Tooth said. They had heard the rumors about Jack and since she didn't tell them anything they had assumed.
"Take over the season!" Loki screamed. "When did you call her?"
"After she finished giving the blizzard." North responded.
"North did you anger Jacqueline?" Odin was the one to ask.
"Da, we took her staff in punishment." North told him. That got Thor and Loki riled up and ready to attack but knew to control themselves.
"Who is ye, to punish our sister?" Thor thundered. That made three of the Guardians stop.
"Sister?" Bunny asked, so that meant the whisper Jack said was no mistake at all.
"North you had no right to punish my daughter especially in things you do not understand." Odin told him. "The only ones that can punish her are Frigga and I for we are her parent's; we have been her parents for as long as she has been a spirit." Odin said.
"You? But how?" North asked.
"I declared Jacqueline as my daughter two years after she was made a spirit, as a mortal she was close to both of my sons and I adore my daughter like no one else." Odin told them.
"Oh, we didn't mean to, we wanted to become the family we thought she didn't have, like showing her right from wrong." Tooth said.
"She knows what is right from wrong!" Thor told them.
"Thor is right she know, no thanks to any of you, besides Sandman; you ignore her for three hundred years and think it can be undone in a matter of months." Loki demanded. The Guardians looked pretty guilty except for Sandy he just kind of felt bad for them.
The door to the healers opened and Frigga came out.
"How is she mother?" Thor asked. Frigga turned to see the Guardians some of them looking guilty and the expecting glances of her sons and husband. She heard everything that was said. She also knew that her husband was planning something with Jacqueline's staff and it was best they left him alone for the moment.
"Jacqueline was stabilized, it seems she has some healing herbs of her own and the healers used those." Frigga told them. "Apparently she told them they were in-case of emergency and not to give them to anyone they were a gift from someone special."
Bunny if he didn't have fur, he would be blushing from head-to-toe. Jack had kept the herbs a secret. It made him smile that she had kept that. He didn't notice the look from Frigga.
"Now I believe she will rest for a while, now come Guardians I will have the servants show you to your quarters, the Bifrost is still not to stable and needs some work on it, three days here would finish it up." Frigga said she had Jacqueline's staff in her hand and gave it to Odin it seemed some things had to change about the staff.
"Yes, Queen Frigga." North said. The Guardians left the other men standing there.
As they walked with her, Tooth was the first one to talk.
"Queen Frigga we want to apologize, if we hadn't gotten Jacqueline angry this wouldn't have happened." Tooth said feeling really guilty because they had caused this.
"Oh, Queen Tooth do not worry about Jacqueline attacks like this are not really that different, just this time she has come more hurt than before." Frigga told them, she was not like Odin, Thor and Loki that would rub their faces into it literally, she was a bit more subtle. "Trust me we are going to look for the guilty ones."
"Wat ya mean this ain't that different, how many times has Snowflake, aye mean Jacqueline been attacked." Bunny asked a bit angry. Frigga noticed the protective note in his voice.
"All her life as a spirit, if I remember correctly Loki and Thor brought Jacqueline to Asgard after an attack from the Spring and Summer sprites." Frigga told them. The Guardians were shocked. "I believe Jacqueline has one regret." Frigga told them. She knew Jacqueline didn't want them to find out, but damn Frigga was angry that her daughter had been brought almost dead home.
"What's the regret?" Tooth asked.
"Jacqueline was not able to control her emotions in an attack and she ended up stopping a holiday for children, she was angry at something else but she never told me." Frigga said. Bunny looked at her. Frigga left them in their rooms and all of them were kind of in shock. They couldn't believe; what they didn't know about their fifth.

Jacqueline was healing, but it seemed her memories were acting up trying to get out and Jacqueline couldn't stop them because she couldn't wake up from her deep slumber as if her memories stopped her.
#
'Jacqueline we need to talk.' Jacqueline raised her head to see George standing there. She didn't want to talk to him; she didn't even want to see him. Not since her Dad told her of his plans to marry her to him. George was tall 5'9 mostly, with dark hair and even darker eyes, he was what some of the village girls wanted, village girls that were not Jacqueline Overland that wanted something like George.
'I'm busy.' She told him. George grabbed her arm.
'Doing what looking for egg from the Easter Bunny, Jacqueline you need to grow up.' George told her. Jacqueline yanked her arm from his grip. It wasn't Easter it was barely autumn and she hated when people got her favorite holiday wrong.
'You're not the boss of me, George.' She told him.
'You know as well as I that you're going to be my wife soon.' He told her.
Jacqueline looked at him before she practically ran away from him; it wasn't hard with the dress. She could hear George coming after her but she knew the forest to well. She climbed one of the trees and hid in the leaves. George passed and didn't look up the trees. She had to smile. She waited a cool while there before she was going to get down. She tried to get down from the tree, but her dress got stuck on a tree branch.
'Curse it all to Juntenheim.' She whispered. She tried to yank the dress and it succeeded but before she knew she was falling off the tree. She knew she was going to fall and break something. Before she did someone grabbed her. She gasped and tried not to open her eyes it could be George.
'Sheila are ya alright?' the voice was accented and she opened her eyes to see a young man, he had blue-gray hair and the darkest green eyes she had ever seen. He had a tattoo in his forehead and Jacqueline wonder if he was one of the Indians around, because his skin was really tan and he wasn't wearing a shirt only a vest, his arms had tattoos as well, he was really muscular and was like no one she had ever seen before. 'Sheila?' he said.
'Ah…ah I'm fine.' Jacqueline told him and the blush that cover her cheek's was not supposed to happen. It took her a few seconds for Jacqueline to realize that she was dipped and her blush got even redder than before. The young man seemed to notice and he blushed to before he righted her up.
'Ya sure?' he asked her.
'Y…yes. T…thank y…you' She told him. She looked at him and wondered where he had learned English or if maybe he was mixed. 'What's your tribe?' Jack asked with a lot of curiosity. The young man looked at her.
'Aye don't have one.' He admitted to her.
'Oh did they run you away?' Jack asked with true concern.
'They got murdered off many years ago.' He told her and his eyes seemed really far away and old. Jacqueline grabbed his hand and it seemed forward but she hugged him. She knew the Indian could kill her but he just seemed so sad.
'I'm so sorry.' She told him. The young man wrapped his strong arms around her and it was comforting it was right.
'JACQUELINE!' the scream was George and it seemed really angry. Jack separated from the young man wanted to look for a way out. The young man seemed to notice her distress.
'Wat's wrong?' he asked her.
'I…I need you to go, now.' She said.
The young man grabbed her hand and they began to run. Jack didn't know who he was so fast, that she almost tripped trying to keep up with him. But she couldn't help the laughter that bubbled out of her throat. The young boy turned to look at her and laughed as well. They ran and he helped her up another tree, where he climbed up as well. They sat down together and saw as George past. When they made sure he left, the young man turned to her.
'Who was that?' he asked.
'Uh, what's your name?' she asked him. He turned away before looking at her.
'Aster.' He told her.
'Well my name is Jacqueline if you heard the scream.' She told him. They both looked out to the sky seeing the town from the tree.
'Ya didn't answer my question, Sheila.' He told her.
'He's the boy, my Dad is going to marry me too next year.' She told him. Aster looked at her and she turned her face to the side.
'Oh.' He told her. 'Ya don't like him.' he stated he didn't ask.
'My Dad think's it the best match, but he is just a bully putting a mask so people think he's nice.' She told him. 'By next summer I'm supposed to be his bride.'
'That sounds terrible.' He told her.
'I know I guess I get to celebrate my favorite holiday without being married.' She told him with a smile. The young man got this annoyed expression.
'Christmas?' he asked. Jacqueline laughed.
'No, Easter, I always have tried to see the Easter Bunny but I never got the chance maybe in this last Easter I will.' She told him. Jack saw how Aster seemed to have gotten this big smile on his face. 'You think it's silly don't you?' she told him.
'Not at all Sheila, Easter happens to be my favorite time as well.' He told her and Jacqueline could tell he was hiding something.
She ignored it though. They began to talk and it was nice peaceful. They both didn't notice until they both looked up and saw the moon was already high.
'Oh I need to go.' She told him. Aster nodded and helped her climb down. They stood under the tree Aster had his arms around her waist.
'Not to sound forward, but will I see you again?' she asked him. Aster bit his lip.
'Yes, in Easter, right here.' He told her.
'Okay, bye Aster see you in Easter maybe you can help me see the Easter Bunny.' She told him and he laughed, his eyes seemed to shine.
'Bye Jacqueline.' He told her.
#
Jacqueline woke up with a gasp. She looked at the ceiling and it was in gold. She turned her face and she was in the healers. That meant she was home, she was home in Asgard. Ragnfridnir was the person she saw and she came closer.
"Lady Jacqueline you're up?" she told her and cleaned her face with a cloth. Jacqueline looked around.
"Ragnfridnir, where's my staff?" she asked.
"The All-father has it." she responded. Jack got up slowly and Ragnfridir was there helping her up. "Lady Jacqueline, it's been two days since you went into slumber."
"What!" Jacqueline screamed.
"Your injuries were very deep, you almost died." Rag told her.
"Can you help me so I can go bathe and get me clean clothing?' Jack asked.
"Of course my lady." Ragnfridir told her.
$LINE BREAK, LINE BREAK$
A few hours later Jacqueline was walking the hallways of Asgard going straight to the throne room knowing that her Father would be there with her Brothers and Mother. The wind caressed her and she chuckled.
"I missed you too." she told it. She knew it was trying to lift her but without her staff it couldn't happen. She walked a bit faster until she arrived in the throne room. She arrived and both Thor and Loki were the first ones to notice her.
"JACQUELINE!" Thor boomed and came to hug her tightly. Jacqueline hugged him to, before he gave her to Loki to hug as well.
"You are well?" Loki asked her.
"Yes." She told him. She moved and looked up just to freeze. The Guardians were standing there and they were looking at her. She turned to her Father and he nodded to her.
"They are aware of the situation my daughter." Odin told her.
"Oh, wow I didn't really want you to find this way." Jack told them.
"Jacqueline, are you alright." Tooth asked her before she was hugged.
"Yes, I am." She told them.
"What happened Sheila?" Bunny asked and Jacqueline had to turn her head at that to hide the blush.
"I...I was attacked by some summer sprites, not the first time don't worry." Jack told them.
"Don't worry? Jacqueline they almost killed ya, I smelled ya blood on the ground." Bunny told her. Jacqueline grabbed his hand.
"But I'm fine truly fine." Jack said and Bunny calmed down. They broke from their gaze when she remembered something. "Father, my staff, do you have it?" she asked him.
"Yes, I do, I had some words with Man in Moon so some changes could be made." Odin told her.
"What changes?" Jacqueline asked.
"Call your staff like Thor calls Mjolnir." He told her. Jacqueline looked at him and raised her hand.
"Staff?" she said. She heard the wind and something came at her fast. She thought it was going to hit her before something smacked into her hand. She opened her eyes to see her staff, it was different it wasn't made of wood anymore it seemed to be made of steel now. It was decorated by snowflakes in the top. "What?" she said looking up at Odin. He came down and looked at her.
"The wood of your staff is still there, but much more protected." He told her and she smiled because she had told them about what happened with Pitch. "It will take more than a knee to break this staff now." Jacqueline looked at him and she just hugged tight.
"Thank you Daddy, you're the best." She told him. Odin smiled. The Guardians were surprised by the show of affection, but they were getting an idea that many of the things they were told about their fifth had been lies. Jacqueline turned to them.
"Um…sorry for not telling you about my family." she told them.
"Do not worry Jacqueline, we have made mistakes, yes." North told her. "Sorry we tried to do something we understand not." He told her.
"It's okay, water under the bridge." She said. "Thank-you for trying and for trying to save me." She told them
"No more secrets." North told her.
"I can only promise to try." Jacqueline told him.
"We shall feast!" Thor said.
"Yes, later tonight we are going to have a feast celebrating many things and that Jacqueline is well in health." Odin told them. The Guardians nodded.
$LINE BREAK, LINE BREAK$
It was time for the feast and the Guardians were given clothes, very nice ones. They arrived to see Asgardians left and right but they weren't the only ones.
"Guardian!" Eros said.
"Eros, what are you doing here?" Tooth asked.
"Really Tooth, Olympus and Asgard are close- he said twisting his fingers- you really think I wouldn't attend."
"Wait, so ya knew about Jacqueline?" Bunny asked.
"Of course, the Princess of Asgard is well known to us Olympians, she befriended Hermes, Athena, Me, Zeus and Hades can you believe that."
"Ya didn't tell us." Bunny said.
"Of course not." Eros told him and smiled. "Here she comes." Bunny turned around and the air went out of his lungs. Jacqueline was in a dress instead of pants or the skirt, it was a dark indigo and emerald green. The staff was secured behind her back. Her hair was in curls and her neck held a diamond necklace that seemed to shine like stars.
"Wow." Bunny whispered. Eros had to smile. He wondered how long it would take for these two, they seemed to bump into each other so many times, so many years and nothing happened, but now he was not going to let this go. He turned around to see Thor and Loki their strings seemed to be shinning, Thor's was more solid, but Loki had his already shining. Oh he was going to be happy soon. Psyche his wife came near him and smiled she could see them too.
Everyone was having fun and they couldn't stop talking. Odin slammed his staff in the ground so everyone could be quiet.
"We are here today to celebrate the victory of my son's and daughter in their battles from the dark forces that threatened to overpower them in Midgard and with help of their friends brave as they are stopped the people from suffering." Odin said. Everyone cheered in the crowd before the musicians moved.
Music began to play and everyone began to move in couples. Tooth and North were already dancing. Sandy was dancing with one of the muses. Thor and Loki had been asked by some goddesses to dance and they accepted. Bunny breathed in as he saw Jacqueline standing there. He moved around the crowd and Eros was preening in joy at seeing him.
"Honey don't be obvious." Psyche whispered in his ear.
"Oh come on, I turned him human once and he found her. This has been years in the making." Eros whispered. Bunny had asked to be human once so he could know what it felt like. He had found Jacqueline then and now they were both Spirits and they had bumped each other so many times he hadn't known people so stubborn to see in-front of their noses.
Bunny walked up to Jacqueline and breathed in.
"Do you want to dance?" he asked her. Jacqueline looked up and smiled at his outstretched hand.
"Okay." She told him.
Bunny smiled at her and she smiled back. They began to dance and Jack was surprised he could move so easily around the dance floor. She smiled at him and followed the steps.
"I didn't know you could dance, Bunny." She whispered to him.
"One of my own secrets." He whispered back and Jacqueline chuckled. They just danced and really didn't change, just changed with the music their movements.
"Ya know I shoulda figure ya out when ya talk Asgardian when we met." He told her.
"We were both pretty mad." She told him. "Plus I forgave you for that."
"Aye, know and don't worry about those sprites Mother Nature was very angry and ya don't want to know what happened." Bunny told her.
"What did she do?" Jack asked.
"She prohibit them from getting near ya and if they did well aye don't wanta be the one to disobey her." Bunny told her holding her close. Frigga couldn't help but smile. She noticed the protective glances her husband, and sons send their way but she didn't mind.
Bunny and Jacqueline were looking into each other's eyes ignorant to everyone else in the room. Until they heard clapping and they jumped and saw everyone was clapping so they just followed their lead. They both had blushes on their faces Bunny's you couldn't see but Jack she had to look down or people would have seen it.
