Chapter Twenty-Two: The Effects of War

It had been a cold year that year, snow falling less and less and other weather patterns, only One person (And maybe the whole spirit community) Could tell that something was wrong with the Nature Spirits.

Sophie Bennett walked inside her house, looking around she saw a note on the side,

Situation Critical,

Need to Meet, Pack your Bags, both You and Kids,

Meet us at The Ice Pool in Burgess, 9PM Tonight,

JF & JF

Sophie smiled, it had been ten years since she'd seen her brother, just at the end of the war, during the breaking…. She shuddered at this , the war had been hard on all of them, especially the Guardians.

Though Sophie was instantly happy, a shred of worry had crept into her, She knew that Jack and Jamie wouldn't summon her unless there was either a serious need for it, or she and her kids were in mortal Danger.

She instantly packed all of her things, followed by her children's she threw them in the car and drove she looked around, there did seem to be a hooded figure following her car, a brown cloak rapped around the figure.

As she pulled up at her children's school. She instantly called them over and they jumped in the car,

"Mom, What's going on?" Justin asked his brown hair so like his Uncle's.

"We're just going on a little trip, Your Uncle is coming to collect us and we're staying with him for a while" Sophie replied,

With that Sophie sped off, towards Burgess.

It was around 8:30 When Sophie arrived at the Pool, she noticed unlike the hundreds of times she'd visited it before, it was completely unfrozen, not a speck of ice could be seen on it,

"Mum, why are we waiting here?" Phoebe asked,

"Because, this is where your Uncle will meet us" Sophie replied as she watched the clock, ticking ever closer until she could see her brother once more.

As the time grew ever closer she noticed it had started snowing. And then at exactally 8:59:59 A Bright light appeared and two figures stood by her car, One dressed in a Brown Cloak and the other in a brilliant Blue one.

Sophie climbed out of the car followed by her kids. They looked at the two figures, before Sophie pulled them both into a bear hug. Before letting them go she slapped both of them.

"You two are honestly the best and worst pair in the world!" Sophie told them, looking at them

"Take us back to the Fortress!" The blue wearing figure said as the same light engulfed them once more.

The Next thing Sophie knew she was inside the Ice 'Palace' though she guessed Jack would still call it, the Ice Fortress, as he had during the war.

"Mom? Where are we?" Justin asked,

"The Ice Fortress of Jack Frost" came a voice and Sophie looked over to see Reece standing there, looking exhausted,

"Jack? Where is he?" Phoebe asked.

"Right here" The Blue clocked figure spoke, looking over at them,

"Why don't you take of that hood?" Sophie asked,

"We'd rather not" Jamie replied.

"By the way, how did you get in and why?" Jack looked over at Reece.

"Mother Summoned you, I think there's been another…" Reece trailed off and Jack sighed,

"We'll be off then, Keep them busy till we get back" Jamie told Reece who nodded, the two cloaked figures vanishing in a flash of white light,

Reece looked at the three Bennett's and sighed, "Its nice to see you alive"

"What do you mean?" Sophie asked,

"I'll let the Generals explain" Reece replied,

"I Thought they were only called that During war?" Sophie asked,

"And you think the war has ended?" Reece replied,

"Its still happening?" Sophie asked,

"Yeah, Nature Vs. Them" Reece replied, looking tired,

"Wait, only the Nature clan?" Sophie asked,

"Yeah, Manny's created us a load of help, there's about 11 Seasons Spirit for each of the Prince's or Princess'" Reece replied, then in a flash he rushed off, "Mother just sent me new orders, Lets head to the globe room"

"The Globe's still here?" Sophie asked,

"Yeah, after the split, North never wanted it back, so it was left here" Reece replied walking into the large hall where Sophie had once Laughed and played, Her children now following her into the room.

"Mom, is this…?" Justin asked,

"Yeah, this is the Legendary Globe of the Guardians" Sophie replied, smiling up at the Globe, Reece walked over and twisted the leaver slamming it down. The Aurora Borealis sent out across the ice land.

After two hours of waiting a rabbit hole opened and North, Sandy, Tooth and Bunny had appeared in the room, looking around,

"What?" North asked,

"You finally answer?" Reece asked, "And when you appear all you say is 'What'?"

"What do you mean 'Finally'?" Bunny asked,

"WE'VE BEEN TRYING TO SUMMON YOU FOR TWO MONTHS!" Reece roared, before a white light engulfed them and they arrived at Mothers tree, Mother, Holly and Rose staring down at the 'Big Four'

"Where in the name of Mother have you all been?" Holly burst at them as a second white light appeared, Jack and Jamie reppearing, still cloaked,

"I CAN'T DO ANOTHER ONE OF THOSE FROST!" Jamie shouted at Jack,

"YOU HAVE TOO!" Jack Shouted back.

"WILL YOU TWO SHUT IT!" Holly called,

"NO!" They Both shouted back as a door slammed closed and their Arguement was muted slightly but they heard Jamie shout the words they hated the most,

"I HATE YOU FROST!"

Before two more doors slammed closed,

"Their… arguing?" Tooth asked,

"So much put on their shoulders would cause some tension." Mother replied,

"You might need to start at the beginning" Reece told her, leaning against a branch.

"You want to know what's going on?" Mother asked them looking around as more flashes of light signalled the arrival of more Sprites.

"Mother, we've found one!" They called,

"Reece?" Mother asked,

"You can count on me" Reece replied vanishing.

"Sprites, go help him!" Mother called as the others all vanished followed by Holly and Rose,

"So, from the beginning" Mother sat down as the 'Big four' stared at her, "Well I guess it all starts at the beginning of the war, when Jack and Jamie commanded the forces of Nature and The Clan's army. They were the heroes, the only Guardians to become involved in the war at that time. They were the Banner we all rallied behind, then after two years, you four joined, and we were finally winning the war"

"We know all this" Bunny replied,

"After the Grand Battle, you Split, not meeting again until today…." Mother tried to start the story again

"You mean the final Battle?" Tooth asked,

"I Wish it were so" Mother replied, "Just after the split, the enemy raised another army, we were the only clan able to stand against them, so we did. Jack and Jamie leading the charge, fighting where they always did, right in the centre of the field"

A Pause followed,

"After another three years of fighting and battling, we seemed to have won. Until two Months ago" Mother finished, "When we started finding individual lights going out incredibly young"

"What?" North asked,

"When we Sent Jack and Jamie to investigate, it came back more gruesome than we ever thought" Mother sighed, "We found that they were being picked off, one-by-one"

"They are killing believers?" Bunny asked,

"Yeah, in ways that would make anyone sick, so naturally after around 500, Jack and Jamie are at breaking point, being first point of call whenever something happened." Mother replied, "They argue daily, then I have to deal with two tired, restless, angry, Sad, Lonely Immortals. They haven't slept in over three years, I need them to have a break before they end up working themselves into self-destruction!"

"And you think….." Bunny began

"Aster E. Bunnymund!" Sophie called, "If you do not help my brother, I shall eternally write you out off all of my books, You too Sanderson Moraza, Nicholas St. North, Toothana!"

"Ankle Bitter?" Bunny asked looking at her,

"Don't you Ankle Bitter me!" Sophie called, hearing two more shouting voice upstairs, "Go and find out what has happened while I go slap those Idiots upstairs!"

"Yes Ma'am" Bunny replied, tapping the floor as Sophie stormed off, Opening a door and the echo of two Slaps followed by calls of pain reached the ears of all below,

"Maybe we need to listen to her" Bunny replied, jumping down the hole followed by the other Guardian's, Sandy waving to the two Young Bennett's who still stood in silence, fearful for what could come next.

"You must Be Justin and Phoebe, normally we'd be more welcoming here, but… war does strange things to people, bringing some closer, like the Spirits, or tearing others apart."

"Like Uncle Jamie and Jack?" Phoebe asked,

"Yes, like your uncle's." Natura replied sighing looking at the ceiling where three voices shouted at one another.
