Chapter 11
I uncomfortably shifted in a chair by Santa's desk, Santa being in his big desk chair. It felt like being in the principal's office. My leather chair making noises whenever I shifted. Clearly, nobody had really been here (at least in this chair) a lot. It would make sense though, I suppose, since this was Santa's house.
I heard foots steps by the door and Jack's sheepish voice saying, "Hi North."
I felt his eyes piercing at me. "Wha-? How-? When did you leave? I was looking everywhere!"
I stood up, glaring at him, "I left when you were in a middle of your ridiculous laughing fit." I put my hands on my hips.
"Ho. Ho. Ho!" I looked at North, who was still chuckling.
"All right. Problem you want fixed is inability to see Guardians, right?" I nodded to North's question.
"Jack, pull lever. Need to call the others."
I watched the floor, as the wood creaked as Jack walked over to the lever North was talking about. I watched as the lever was pulled over, without seeing the person pulling it. I felt a rather large hand, much bigger, warmer, and harrier than Jack's, pick up my hand, and gently pulled me over to the window. "Come, my dear child."
Nodding, I walked over to the window, seeing auroras wavily flowing away in three different directions. "Pretty!" I said, slightly mimicking how Sophie always says.
The vibrant shades of purples, greens, yellows, and reds shone brightly against the dark, early morning sky.
I gasped aloud. "It's morning already?!
Jack chuckled. "Morning comes a lot earlier than you're used to. Big time difference. This is the North Pole, after all."
Sighing exasperatedly, I took out my phone from my hoodie, suddenly realizing how tired I was.
"Oh good, it's a Saturday. Don't have work or school."
"Ah." said North. I grinned, hopefully at North, but I really had no clue. I turned and looked back at the auroras.
"The auroras are signals for the 'others?'"
"Dah!"
"Okay... So who are the others?" I asked Jack and North. North didn't respond, but Jack did.
"The Sandman, or Sandy, the Tooth Fairy, or Tooth, and the Easter Kangaroo, or Idiot." I nodded until he told me about the Easter Bunny.
"Easter Kangaroo? Idiot?"
"HEY MATE!" a rough voice said behind me.
I turned around, to not see anyone.
"Uhm.."
"Oh please, Kangaroo. Don't give her credit for my insults. She was just repeating them. In a question. For whatever reason." He seemed to have a teasing tone when he was talking about me.
Sighing exasperatedly, I sunk down in my chair again, but quickly standing up shivering. "Sorry..." I said to the chair. I felt kinda stupid for talking to a chair, and I desperately hoped that the person was still there.
"It's all right! Uhm... Hello?"
I looked up, trying to rest my gaze on at least her head, but without knowing her height, it was rather difficult.
"Hi. Sorry I-" I felt a tug on my sleeve before being able to explain to the girl why I was not looking at her when speaking to her.
I looked down. "Uhm. Hello?" I couldn't hear the person that tugged on my sleeve.
"Can't ya see him mate? He's saying hello."
I looked down. "No. I can't."
"Right, that's why she and all of you here." North said.
