Chapter 13
My eyes fluttered open. I pulled myself up. I was on a bed... ?
I looked around, but I didn't see anyone. My head was aching.
All I could hear was the banging in my head. I pulled my legs in, hugging them, and put my head in between my legs. Sometimes that would work if I had a headache, but this one was too strong. Too strong to be a migraine as well.
It's because I'm tired. My body is weak right now. I thought. I began rocking my head slowly, trying to get rid of the pain. I don't suppose Santa had Tylenol or Advil. Something. Anything.
I tried to get out of bed, but my brain was so scrambled up, it had no coordination whatsoever. I started to fall onto the floor, when I felt two icy cold hands and another furry pair of arms pull me up, and set me on the bed again.
"You all right, Liz?" Jack asked. "You all right, Liz? You all right, Liz?" The banging continuing in between each of his echoing words. I tried to nod, but then thinking about how I couldn't see them, I got confused, thinking they couldn't see me either. (Even though it was clear they could since they picked me up.)
"Yes, Jack. I'm fine. Got a really nasty headache right now."
"Hm. What do you remember, mate?" Bunny said, laying his furry hand on my forehead to check my fever.
"Erm... Last thing I remember was that I collapsed on Sant- I mean North's office workshop place. And now I'm here."
"Right, you've slept for a few hours, it's now in the late afternoon."
I nodded. "Where is everybody?" I asked.
"North, Tooth, and Sandy are all in the lobby waiting for ya." Bunny said.
"Come on! Let's go then!" Jack said, racing out.
I shivered from the sudden rush of wind, and patiently got out of the bed and walked out of the door. I somewhat stumbled because my head was still very achy.
"Here, mate, I'll lead ya." A furry hand grabbed mine and led me out through a hallway, where we passed several other closed doors, and into the large lobby. Bunny let my hand go, and I thanked him for leading me out, because I had no idea how by myself.
After I heard each other's voices for quite a while, I learned of where they were standing. There was a question that I felt compelled to ask for whatever reason. I had a feeling it was more than just idle curiosity, but, because I did feel curious I decided to ask it anyways.
"So, Tooth, what's so important about teeth? You collect teeth right? Is that just your job? Or do you really have a house made out of teeth?"
The Tooth Fairy giggled. "No, I don't have a house made out of teeth, though your drawings you drew when you were little were delightful!"
"Oh. So why do you collect teeth?"
"Hm... I think it'd be easier to show you. Please, North? I think it'd be much more exciting for the poor girl to see all of it instead of hear about it!"
"All right all right. To the sled!" North declared, as he swooped me up and carried me on piggy back. (Which is quite impressive considering he's probably way older than my grandfather.
"No way! There is no way I'm going in a rickity... old.. sled. Whoa." North set me down on the pavement as he brought out the sleigh. Seeing the fantastically awesome state of the sled, I gave in, "Okay. One ride. That's it," immediately getting inside.
"All right everybody in?"
"No, mate. Sorry north, but I'm going through meh tunnels." With that he thumped the ground, a tunnel opened, and after a few minutes the hole was gone, replaced with a flower.
With that we were off, and the bumpy exhilarating ride on the sleigh began.
