A/N: Patience/Karrel is a creation I MADE so rights to THIS character/and her backstory go to me. However, I own no other characters, so far. I like her character alot and I'm writing a movie about her, but I figured I'd introduce her into the world of fanfiction, and see what you all think of her!. Fave and Review. It really helps me to know that my writing is worth the time it takes to press that one lil button! Plus we need more girl guardians haha. Her age is between 15-19 respectively. However, she is over...spoilers years old. ;)
Jamie's eyes widened at the sparkling rock in front of him. "...You...but the moon isn't..." Jamie blinked puzzled. The rock however didn't speak again. Jamie tried to coax it into talking, walking around it, still clinging to Bunnymund's boomerang. "...You asked who I am...well..I'm Jamie Bennett...and...you are?" The moonstone remained silent, and Jamie looked around. The other two guardians were slowly coming to. Jamie broke his concentration to look at them with worry but they remained unconscious. Jamie turned back to the stone. He didn't know why, but he really wanted to just touch it. It was childish, since he knew that you shouldn't just touch whatever it is you want, but...it was right there. With baited breath, Jamie reached for the stone and his eyes widened. It was cool to the touch and so smooth. "Wow..." Jamie breathed, his brown eyes widening in amazement. Suddenly there was a faint pop, and Jamie's eyes widened as the stone shifted, and became dislodged in the casing. Jamie made a face and tried to fix it. However, the wiggling caused it to pop out like a baby tooth and Jamie gasped as the very HEAVY stone fell into his hands. He looked guiltily around at the two guardians who remained unconscious and he tried to place it back but the stone glowed very brightly suddenly and Jamie gasped. The stone began to glow, floating above Jamie. Jamie's eyes widened. A picture...of someone on a broomstick showed up above the floating stone. Jack moved towards teh moonstone. "Are you really a moonstone?" he breathed. He furrowed his brow. "What is it that you want me to do? If you don't tell me...then how will I know?" Jamie asked tentatively. The moon glowed in response brightly, and then it floated to Jamie's hands and he held it puzzled. It glowed brightly and he squinted, feeling the mix of cool and warmth in his fingertips and before he could yell, Jamie Bennett was whisked away from the North Pole, the moonstone with him.
As soon as Jamie left, another portal opened up and through it flew Jack and Rudolph who was giddy still at being able to fly. "Wow! So much fun! I wanna do it more! more!" Rudolph happily pranced but Jack's concentration broke as soon as he saw the state that the two remaining guardians were in and he forgot to keep the wind magic on Rudolph. Rudolph fell to the ground with a thud and groaned. Jack winced.
"Sorry...I'm sorry..." he floated to the ground, biting his lip. Rudolph got to his feet, shaking his head.
"It's all good!" Rudolph nodded his head, his own eyes falling to where he was. His eyes widened. He pranced around. "Wow! Look at this place! It looks like something tore through here!"
"Or someone..." Jack growled, clutching Santa's Snowglobe in his hand. He had no idea where he'd sent Pitch, but he hoped it would buy him some time. He ran over to Bunnymund and Tooth. "You guys! Hey!" He shook them by the shoulders and they weakly blinked, getting to their feet much to Jack's relief. Bunnymund sat up, scratching the back of his head.
"I'm either dead and you're dead, or I'm dead...and...you're here to haunt me..." Bunnymund griped, blinking blearily at Jack. Jack could've hugged the grumpy Bunny from relief that he and Tooth were alright but he refrained. After all, Jack had a reputation to uphold. He rolled his eyes instead straightening up.
"Very funny, admit it, you missed me," He grinned, his blue eyes glinting mischieviously.
"Jack!" Tooth hugged Jack tearfully. Jack was a bit overwhelmed but was relieved that he didn't get heart poundings as easily when he was Frost. Being human had been difficult, and Jack's heart sank, realizing if he didn't somehow get Elsa to marry him, he'd stop being Frost. But then again, if being Frost meant marrying someone he didn't even know...someone he'd hurt just moments ago without meaning to...then how the hell could he remain as Jack Frost? Jack's crest-fallen face showed because Tooth held his face in her hands.
"So, you available or leashed?" Bunnymund grumped.
Jack quirked a brow. " Still available although, sorry, you're not my type," he smirked, enjoying the twitchy look on Bunnymund's face.
"That's not what I bloody meant!" Bunnymund brandished a boomerang at Jack. Jack quirked a brow.
"Oh my, your'e down to half your normal attack power, where's your twin 'rang? " he smiled.
"...what...oh Jamie has it..." Bunnymund replied. Jack nodded.
His heart stopped. "Wait...Jamie...where's Jamie?!" Jack's eyes widened along with the others. They all looked at each other fearfully. Rudolph meanwhile was just staring open mouthed at Tooth and Bunny. They noticed Rudolph for the first time. Bunny crossed his paws and and looked at the reindeer.
"Who's this, mate?" he beckoned to Rudolph. Rudolph swallowed and bowed clumsily.
"M-my name is Rudolph...Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer!" he said awe-stricken by these strange...creatures. Tooth floated over and she hugged Rudolph.
"You're such a dear!" she giggled, " Pun not intended..."
"Oi mate, we have pressing concerns," Bunny reminded Tooth. Tooth's face fell.
"Yes, I know," she said sadly. "I'll go get Sandy...I feel bad for taking him away from his vacation..." she sighed and called her fairies to her. Baby Tooth however, stayed with Jack, nuzzling his cheek, pleased that her savior came back for her. Jack pat her on the head gently. Tooth smiled. "Alright, take care boys! I'll be back!" The Tooth Fairy waved her wand and dissapeared in a bright brilliant green glow. In her place dropped a quarter. Bunny quirked a brow.
"What an exit," he rolled his eyes.
"Bunnymund, did Pitch take Jamie!" Jack asked urgently. Bunnymund shook his head.
"Not that I know...I was passed out, kid," Bunny looked crestfallen. Jack didn't have the heart to chastise, he knew that Pitch had no doubt ambushed the others. However, his eyes wandered over to the pedestal without the ... " The stone..." Jack flew over worried. He looked around. Bunny noticed too. He hopped over, his brow furrowed, thunderstruck with shock.
"Where is the bloody stone?!" Bunny echoed Jack. "First Santa, then Jamie...now the bloody moonstone?!"
"...Pitch." They both said at the same time.
"We have to get the stone, Santa and Jamie back from him!" Jack said. He looked to Santa's Snow globe. "You bring your nightlight and a blanket, because it's about to get cozy where we're going..."
"Mate, I'm a bunny, I have night vision," the Easter Bunny glowered, "I'm not the one who needs to worry about not being able to see."
Jack shook the famous one and only portal-opening Snow Globe of Santa's. "Take us to the Boogie Man's lair!" He declared and the portal opened easily when he tossed the Snow globe into the air. However, Rudolph gulped.
"U-Um guys...I don't think we should go barging in without reinforcements..." Rudolph began.
"If your friend is going to be a liability, he can stay behind, this is a job for the Guardian," Bunnymund turned to Rudolph, "This is a job for The Guardians kiddo, you aren't needed."
Jack's heart sank. He remembered how he'd felt feeling invisible and useless to everyone. Including them. However, Rudolph didn't have Jack's flare and he took the hit, lowering his head, and nodding sadly as though agreeing. Jack gripped his staff and stood in front of Rudolph, brandishing his staff at Bunny. "Now hold on just a second, I'm sure that Rudolph can help-"
"Blimey, you enjoy the thought of putting innocents in harms way, huh Jack?" Bunny snapped, going nose to nose with Jack, and pointing his furry index finger at Jack's chest. "Perhaps you're not as capable to fill the shoes of a Guardian...after all...you failed to even follow orders of the moon..."
Jack spluttered, his eyes flashing angrily, the air dropping to below zero, causing snow to begin to fall, indoors. Rudolph looked around bewildered, trying to figure out the source of the snow, though his ears perked up as he quickly realized it was because of Jack. However, Jack firmly drew his mouth into a thin line, drawing himself up to his full height and he pointed his own index finger, tapping it against the Easter Bunny's furry chest angrily, jabbing, "I didn't fail to follow orders. I don't agree with them. If being a Guardian means having to follow some stupid marriage rule..." Jack flared, there was a way out. "Then I won't be a guardian anymore! I'll simply be Jack Frost!" He declared. The Easter Bunny looked like he'd been slapped with a dead fish. He backed away from Jack, his eyes narrowed. Rudolph trembled, wanting to break up the fight but really not wanting to have a mutant bunny and an angry snow spirit double team on his hide. He gulped and stayed silent as Bunnymund finally turned away from Jack, and straightened up to his towering 6'1 height. He tapped his foot, and a hole opened up. Jack stepped forward. "What? No last words?" he tried to poke Bunnymund into talking to him but Bunnymund just cast him one last glance of distaste, and hopped into his rabbit hole, and it closed up, leaving Jack alone with Rudolph, an open portal...and a sense of loss that only grew. He turned to Rudolph after the Bunny left. "Fine, who needs him! ...Who needs any of them! I love children...I love...being believed in...I don't..." Jack's eyes widened. "I don't need to be a Guardian...to be believed...because I have Jamie!" Jack smirked. "Looks like I found a loophole in this Man of the Moon contract..." he rubbed his pale hands together. He looked to the portal, straightening up. Gripping his staff tightly, he turned to Rudolph." I can't do this alone, will you help me, Rudolph?" Rudolph nodded to him, though he looked a bit timid. Jack pet Rudolph's head. "Don't worry, I'll protect you..." Jack smiled.
"And I, you!" Rudolph replied, blinking at Jack, gratefully. " Though...I'm not sure how much good I can be..." his head drooped. "Maybe that big rabbit was right..."
Jack shook his head. "No, don't say that. He's just old and grumpy, he'll get over it..."
"But will you really stop being a Guardian?" Rudolph looked quizically at Jack. "...it sounded pretty important."
Jack broke eye-contact with Rudolph turning to the portal. He gripped his staff tightly, pulling his hood on again so Rudolph couldn't see the confliction that his eyes shone with. Leaning on his staff, Jack stepped to the portal, closer. "...Nothing is as important...as remembering who you are...remember that, Rudolph..." Jack said, creating small snowflakes with one hand. Each one sparkled and reminded him of ...Elsa. He made a fist, crushing the snowflake, and when he opened his hand, it was gone. "Come on! We have to save Christmas...and Jamie!" Jack said with a grin, and he and Rudolph took off through the portal, leading them to Pitch's lair.
Meanwhile, in Salem, Massachusetts, Jamie found himself land in a snowy field, near a lake with a yelp. With a groan, he sat up, shaking his hair. He winced, hugging the moonstone to his chest. It glowed and Jamie's eyes widened as it began to shrink. The moonstone became pocket sized and for this, Jamie was grateful. "Where...where am I..." he breathed, looking around the woods with the knarly trees, the waning moon beginning the cycle of going back to square one...the iced lake...the rocks around him that overlooked the lake on the other side...there was something spooky about these woods. Something that made Jamie's hair stand up on one end. He was an adult, he told himself. He clutched the moonstone in his pocket of his jeans and gulped, wishing he'd brought a jacket. He was only wearing his long sleeved t-shirt with his favorite band, Thirty Seconds To Mars on it. He heard a giggle suddenly from his right. He looked and in a tree above him, was a ...black cat? He furrowed his brow.
"You're a funny guy, yes, so funny!" The cat mewed. Jamie's jaw dropped. The cat talked. It talked.
"You...you talked..." Jamie pointed, mouth open. The cat blinked at him. It's eyes widened and it stood on the branch.
"You...you can see me?" It sounded incredulous. Jamie nodded dumbly. The cat suddenly whooped happily. "Happy day! Happy day!" Suddenly the cat slipped from it's joy and Jamie ran to catch it, slidding on the ice he was on. He managed to leap and saving a cat is normally easy except for one problem. He caught the cat, but it wasn't a cat anymore. It was a girl. Jamie's eyes widened as the girl laughed, holding onto her pointy hat, her short brown and caramel highlighted hair showing under it, her sidebangs swept messily. She was wearing a black tattered dress, with a undershirt that had reddish rings that looked a bit pink but mostly red, and red and black stockings with little black buckled boots...and what baffled Jamie the most about her was that she was...well...she was green.
"Ahh! Wicked Witch of the West!" He yelped and he dropped her unceremoniously. She yelped, falling on her butt on the ice. Rubbing it, she saw Jamie backing away from her and her eyes flickered with flusteredness.
"I-I'm not...I'm not Wicked!" She sounded huffy. " Of course the first person who can see me immediately compares me to some fairytale villain..." She sniffled. Jamie gulped. He knew that witches could manipulate...but was she really bad? His gut told him no, and he paused. With a sigh, he held out his hand.
"I'm...sorry...that was stupid of me...I'm Jamie...Jamie Bennett..." he said, hoping to fix their uh, awkward first meeting. "From the way you're speaking...I'm guessing you're a spirit..."
She nodded, taking his hand and letting him help her up. "That's right! That's me! I'm Karrel!" She smiled. Jamie thought she looked be in her teens still. She was a few inches shorter than him. Though the hat made her look as tall as him. "I also go by Patience...but Karrel sounds more...with the times, you know?" She giggled.
"...Uh..." Jamie didn't know what to say. He blinked though. "I'll call you Patience...it's your name, after all..." he smiled at her. She hid behind that big dorky black hat and Jamie frowned, not sure why her face was hiding from him. Perhaps the moonstone meant for him to find this girl...he recalled the hologram of a girl with a pointy hat...Jamie's eyes widened. He clapped his hands together. "You're the one the Man in the Moon wanted me to find!" he said, eagerly, his eyes shining. Patience blinked at him, with a frown.
"Man in the Moon? That's...just a fairy tale," she said, knitting her brows together. Jamie shook his head though.
"No, No! It's not! I promise you!" Jamie eagerly took out the moonstone. It shone faintly and Patience looked at it questioningly. "It's...it's...It is how I found you!... I don't know why I was supposed to find you...but I did!" Jamie looked to her. "...Who..are you?"
Patience whistled suddenly and Jamie's eyes widened as a broomstick, came whipping past the trees and into Patience's outstretched hand. She hopped on and grinned at Jamie. "You coming? I want to show you my home, Jamie Bennett!" Jamie didn't know how flying on a broomstick would work, especially since he'd have to sit behind her. Oh man, despite her greenness, she was pretty and Jamie gulped. He hoped she wouldn't notice his warmed cheeks. He realized who she was.
"You're the spirit of Halloween..." he said, eyes wide.
She laughed. "Close, I'm the Spirit of Hallows Eve..." she grinned and flew past him, using a wave of her hand to easily plop him behind her. He clung to her cloak, instinctively worried about heights. He had a fear of heights not that he'd admit this in front of her. She laughed happily, and patted her broom's handle. "Take us home, Broomie!"
From the shadows, Pitch lurked, watching the events that unfolded. "Oh Jack...you thought sending me home...would end me..however...it's actually helped me...I'll get that little sprite...ah...Patience was it? To join my Anti-Guardians...it'd be nice to have another form of darkness to assist me..." Pitch cackled, delving back within the shadows, and the woods went silent once more.
