Finally have time to upload this story ^u^
I still don't own Rise of the Guardians, just my OCs
Enjoy :)
Ivy's POV
"Your balance is good, along with your flexibility, aim, and combat, but you can't keep trying to avoid water Ivy."
"Sure I can, I've done it for about 200 years or so."
"North, I've got this." Bunny picked me up and started making his way to the pool - which was only about 5 inches deep - and the moment my feet touched the water, fire shot out from the pool and carried me to the rafters and wouldn't let anyone come close to me.
"Is everyone okay?" I asked from my place up in the rafters.
"Everyone's fine. Bunny's fur got burned a bit though"
"Well, as long as no one's hurt-"
Rose?
"- I won't feel guilty about it." I was looking around for the little girl that called to me, but why would she if it wasn't my name?... Was it?
"Are you okay Ivy?" Jack asked, noting my sudden change in behavior.
"I'm fine."
Rose!
"There it is again." I whispered to myself as I slipped past the flames and landed next to Jack.
Rose!
"Don't you hear that?" I asked turning to Jack
"Hear what?" He looked confused but then his expression turned to horror, "Ivy, what ever you do, don't go after the voice." I didn't hear him as I took off towards the voice.
Third Person POV
"Ivy!" Jack turned towards the rest of the Guardians who were speechless at Ivy's sudden takeoff, "we can't let her leave the pole. Come on!" They all shot off, North told his yetis to seal off every exit point, Bunny, Sandy, Tooth, and Jack searched every place that Ivy might be. But found nothing.
"Where is she?" Tooth asked worriedly.
"I think I know. Tooth, has any of the memory boxes gone missing?"
"Just one, some of my fairies are searching for it as we speak. Why does this have to do with- oh no." Her expression turned to horror as she made the connection.
"We need to find her before she walks right into Pitch's hands." The Guardians went straight to North's sleigh and began looking for Ivy. Their first stop: Burgess.
Ivy's POV
Rose?
Where is that coming from? I wondered as I made my way through a forest. I came to a clearing and waited for the voice once more, but nothing came. "Hello?" I heard my voice echo through the forest with no reply.
"Has the little dove lost her way?" I jumped, turned around and found myself face-to-face with Pitch.
"What do you want Pitch?" I conjured up my bow and got an arrow ready, but not yet pointing at him.
"I don't want anything, but I bet you're looking for this, aren't you?" He pulled out a golden cylinder with a picture of a girl on the front. She had long, light blonde - almost white - hair with stunning hazel eyes.
"Ivy!" I snapped out of it and looked behind me to see Jack and the rest of the Guardians standing a couple of feet behind me.
"How'd you guys find me?"
"We'll explain that when we kick Pitch's butt." I started walking towards them but the voice stopped me once again
Rose?
I turned back to find that the box - still in Pitch's hand - was now glowing. I was too busy looking at the mesmerizing glow to notice that Pitch was getting closer to me.
"Ivy! Snap out of it!" I did just that just in time. I kneed Pitch in the stomach and he let go of the box to clutch his stomach out of instinct. I caught before it hit the ground and I made a little slide out of ice to carry me to the Guardians. When I reached them, memories of my past life came back to me.
~Memories start here~
"Rose! You know that you can't climb trees! It's not lady-like!" Rose groaned at the red-head from the top of the tree and started to climb down. She was having such a good time looking at the fall leaves too. She slipped on a branch and started to fall towards the ground. "Rose!" The teen in a plain red dress rushed forward just as Rose fell to the ground and helped her up back on her own two feet.
"Huh, lost a tooth. think the Tooth Fairy will come tonight?" the teen huffed and playfully hit her shoulder.
"You are such a child." Rose got up a curtsied.
"Why thank you! Now I'm going to show the others." And ran off in the direction of the orphanage.
~Next memory~
"Rose?" A girl about three with black hair peaked through the door of a run down old room.
"Yes Delia?" The older girl asked tiredly
"I had a nightmare." Delia was on the verge of crying.
"It's okay, come here," Rose said with a comforting voice, Delia ran into the bed and snuggled into the covers, "as long as I'm here, I'll protect you. Even if I die I'll still protect you." They both fell asleep with golden sand swirling over their heads with golden eyes watching them from the shadows.
~Next memory~
"Rose look! I made a snowman!"
"That's wonderful Alex! But do you know what's another fun thing to do in Winter?" About fifteen kids stopped what they were doing and crowded around the steps of the orphanage where Rose was.
"What?"
"SNOWBALL FIGHT!" She started throwing loosely packed snowballs at the kids, who in return started throwing snowballs back at her. She even threw some at a white-haired teen with a shepherd's staff
~Next memory~
"Do you think Santa will come?" Delia asked as Rose tucked her in.
"Of course. But you have to be asleep , other wise he won't come."
"Oh alright. Good night Ivy." She smiled at her new nickname that the kids started calling her.
"Good night." And she made her way to the attic. It was about midnight when she woke up due to something hitting the roof. She rushed to where the make-shift Christmas tree stood. And at the base of the tree leaving presents was someone that looked like Santa Clause. Rose couldn't speak but finally recovered and said "... Santa?" The man jumped and turned around and looked at Rose. They had a staring contest for a few seconds and then he came over and patted her on the head. "You are Santa. Aren't you?" The man chuckled and answered
"Yes, it is me. But I think that you should get back to bed, you have a lot of stuff to do."
"Oh, right," Rose started back up the stairs but stopped halfway, "um, Santa?"
"Yes my child?"
"Thank you for giving the children here something to believe in."
"You're welcome." He smiled. Rose rushed back to her room and dreamt of the fun she and the other kids were going to have.
~Next memory~
"Ivy wake up!"
"Today's Easter!"
"We have to look for eggs that the Easter Bunny left behind!" Rose peaked through her eyelids and found about 20 kids in the room, every one of them was excited about finding Easter eggs.
"Don't you have to get ready then?" She sat up and the kids became silent, "after everyone gets ready, meet me by the main doors." They all scampered out the door to get their best clothes on leaving Rose - who now preferred to be called Ivy - in the room. After getting dressed, she picked up her hand-held harp - curtsey of Santa - and went down to the main doors where all the kids were waiting with their baskets in hand. "Okay everyone in a line. Youngest in front and oldest in back." The kids lined up and were jumping off the walls to start hunting for the Easter Bunny and the eggs. The second I opened the door, everyone rushed out, the older kids left the eggs that were on the ground for the younger kids and went for the ones that were higher up.
After all the eggs were found, the kids ran inside to count how many eggs they found and to look at the designs that were painted on them. Ivy held back and climbed the nearest tree and started playing her harp. Each note flowed perfectly into the next and before long. the moon came out. She ran back into the orphanage, but not before catching a glimpse of a very large rabbit.
~Next memory~
"Delia!" Ivy stared in horror as her home was lit with flames. People were trying to put out the fire that only grew.
"Ivy!" She tried to run into the burning building but was held back by a fairly muscular man.
"No! She's still in there! Let me go! She needs my help!" Ivy broke free of the man's grip and ran into the building to search for the missing girl. "Delia! Where are you! Delia! *cough*"
"Over here!" She raced through the building and into the dining room, where she found the girl crying underneath the table covered in soot. Ivy ripped off one of her sleeves and started to clean the soot off of the girl.
"It's okay, I'm here, but we have to get out okay?" Delia didn't do anything and Ivy pulled her into a hug, "As long as I'm here, I'll protect you. Even if I die-"
"'I'll still protect you.' You always say that, but I don't want to die."
"It's okay. Here," Ivy ripped off the remaining sleeve and held it out of Delia along with her harp, "if I do end up dying, I want you to hold onto my harp okay, Delia Swift Overland?"
"Okay. What's your full name? You never told anyone."
"My full name is Rose Woods Bennet. I'm pretty sure that I have a family out there somewhere. If you happen to find them, tell them what happened to me. Deal?"
"Deal." Both girls ran out of the dining room just as it collapsed. As they reached the main door, the ceiling started to fall. Ivy didn't want Delia to die so she pushed her through the door as the building came down on her. "IVY! NO!"
~Memories end~
Ivy's POV
I sat up to find myself in North's infirmary and with everyone staring back at me
"She's awake!" North exclaimed
"How long was I out for?"
"About eight hours." I stared at Bunny wide-eyed as he mentioned how long I was out..
"What did you see?"
"Jack!" Tooth hissed, causing Jack to jump back and put his hands up in surrender
"What? I'm just curious."
"It's fine, I was going to tell you guys anyway." And so I found myself rambling on about my past and they all seemed surprised that I was able to see almost all of them, even Jack. I got choked up on how I died, but I was proud on the fact that I saved Delia's life.
"What was her name?"
"Huh?"
"Her full name? What was it?"
"Oh, it was Delia Swift Overland."
"And yours?"
"Rose Woods Bennet." A smirk slowly showed itself on Jack's face and I could tell that he was planning something.
"I think tomorrow, you're going to meet someone that is very close to you."
"How so?"
"You'll see." And it would seem that I would have to wait until tomorrow to see what Jack is talking about.
Yay! Ivy got her memories back! ^w^
