Disclaimer: I do not own The Rise of the Gardians only Raven, Mother, and Marina.
Girlfish: That is the exact reaction I was looking for. : )

Chapter 9:
"Wait a minute." Raven finally spoke up looking confused. "Then why was Manny trying to make me a Gardian? I can't do anything against Pitch even if I wanted to."
Mothers eyes widened that looked at the boy in question. "Manny is this true?" She said her Motherly tone back with slight shock.
Manny flinched a little but kept looking at Raven wanting to avoid eye contact with Mother and telepathically said, 'Haven't you figured it out yet? I didn't pick you as a Gardian to fight Pitch and protect the kids from him. You little sister are to protect their innocence, you are to protect them from themselves... Also I figured it was time for Jacky to actually meet you.' He added the last part as an after thought. Though his mouth didn't move they all still heard him in their minds but they all are use to it.
Ravens eyes widened, "how am I supposed to do that?" Then she looked away with downcast eyes, "why would you want to trust me with such a responsibility? Have you forgotten that I'm not good with that kind of stuff? It's been that way since the day we were all created by Mother."
"Oh, my beautiful child, you are The Spirit of the Wind it is in your nature to be free from every thing even responsibility and captivity." Mother said the last part with slight anger and turning her gaze at Pitch, then looked back at Raven. "And besides you are not responsible for Pitches behavior, only he is responsible for that, my swe-" She was suddenly interrupted from a voice behind her.
"So it's true. I guessed right you are the wind." Everyone turned to look at the boy that managed to sneak up on all of them.
"Jacky." Raven said softly as she took in Jack Frosts appearance. He looked paler than usual if that was even possible, he had dark rings around his droopy eyes and he was leaning against is staff for support. Overall he looked completely drained. Suddenly Ravens eyes darkened more than usual and glared daggers towards Pitch. "Let me out of here now Pitch. This is hurting him."
Pitch glanced at her quiet for a minute, then suddenly a dark smile spread across his face, "What the fun in that?" He mocked her usual saying.
After that she a sound like a growl and than her appearance started to flicker as the wind in the ball of black sand started to whip her hair around. Soon a whistling sound was heard and it was growing louder. The black sand prison she was being held in started to Crack as and the whistling grew even louder. Then she through her hands in the air and yelled in anger, pushing the wind harder against the walls that confined her. That caused the walls to finally shader and she was free. She disappeared as soon as they did and reappeared at Jacks side. All the anger as gone is her eyes as she looked at him, there was just worry.
Mother watched as her youngest gently held on to the boy and slowly sat him down to rest. Then her breath hitched as she saw a light flicker in her little girls eyes that she hasn't seen there in a very long time. A smile spread a crossed her face. The boy was getting stronger as she sat with him. Mother glanced in the boys eyes and her eyes widened. That boys eyes matched Ravens when she first created her. Not in color or design but by the emotions that flooded his eyes. Too many to name and seeing this she knows that this boy is her little girls other half.
