Hi People I'm Glad You Liked My Last Chapter!
For Those Nice People Who Reviewed, THANKS SO MUCH!
Sorry It Took So Long, My Excuse; SCHOOL/BAND!
Bunny pushed Rosella into her bed chambers. "I'm not that tired, I can go with you and explain what happened to the guardians!" She protested, determined to get her way.
"No, you're not going, and yes, you are tired. Get into bed." Bunny sent her his world famous glare, and waited. Ro fluttered her wings in a huff and sat down on the edge of her spacious bed. "Shoes off."
Ro pulled them off and neatly sat them by the foot of her bed. "And hand over the staff." With a slight glare she laid it down on the cushioned bench at the end of her bed. "Even if I leave ya here you're going to follow me anyways ain't ya?"
"Yup!" She said cheerfully. He groaned loudly, and rubbed his face.
"Well... you leave me no choice." Bunny suddenly reached out and shoved Rosella back. Quickly he yanked the blankets over her and tucked them in, doing that quickly on 3 sides. Bunny finally stood back and admired his handiwork, topped with a squirming Rosella Valentine.
"Bunny! Let me out!" She yelled, fighting against the tight blankets.
"Sorry Ro, stay there and get some sleep. I'll go talk with the Guardians." Bunny tapped open a portal and fell out of view.
"Ugh, you're so mean!" Ro called even though she knew he couldn't hear her anymore. She wriggled a little more, then stopped with sigh. Bunny had perfected the "bed bug" move on her years ago when she had worked herself too hard after the incident with the Guardians. Rosella stared up at the ceiling, blinking slowly. She was tired, but she also had every right to go tell the guardians what was happening. Ro let out a loud yawn and felt her body relax into the cushioned mattress and soft blankets.
She never heard her window swing open.
"Where's Rosella?" Tooth asked the second she saw Bunny, "Is she okay, I hope we didn't upset her too much!"
"She's fine Tooth, I put her to bed. But I have something to tell you all. Can you find the others and meet me in the study?" Without waiting for a reply he turned and walked quickly to the designated spot.
"Oh, sure!" Tooth cried after him. She zipped off to North's workshop, where the others were bound to be.
Silent footsteps made their way across the reflective floor, stopping just at the foot of her bed. Standing there, perfectly still, a shadow was cast over the sleeping Rosella.
"Hmmmm... Sleeping when some poor soul might need you're help." A smile slid across his face. "How very, very rude."
With an effortless jump he landed gently on the bed next to Ro. "Very rude indeed."
Bunny finished his story about Moody J.. He looked at the others for their reactions, and got a crap load of mixed emotions.
"He sounds so sweet, but so lost... Maybe we could help him!" Tooth was the first to speak.
"Or maybe instead of helping him we should help the kids, they seem to directly effect him." Jack added.
"I say we limit the power he has until he can control what emotions he wants." North declared.
And as per usual Sandy's sand was flying in crazy shapes all over his head.
Rosella laid content in bed, dreaming away happy dreams, unaware of what was going on outside her dreamland. An unhappy boy lay beside her, hair an angry yellow shade.
He huffed out a sigh and crossed his arms, glaring at the sleeping girl, then turning his head to glare at the ceiling.
All 5 Guardians sat inside the Workshops study. The talking had died down, leaving each Guardian with their own thoughts. Finally, the silence was broken by non other than Tooth, "Well boys, Sandy and I need to get back to our duties. Those teeth aren't going to collect themselves!" Sandy nodded his head in agreement, and floated up.
"Bunnymund, Jack, I think it best if we go see Rosella. I want to hear more about this Moody person from her."
"Yeah, okay." Jack agreed while Bunny gave a nod.
"But the tunnels this time. We don't need to crash. Again!"
"How'd you get in here?"
"Well, it's not very well guarded." Came the sarcastic reply from the other side of the bed. "But I thought I was welcome here anytime I please!"
Ro scoffed lightly, but said "Of course you are Moody. But if you start going bat crap crazy then no, you're not." Rosella sat up in bed and leaned against the headboard. Moody was sitting about 6 feet away from her, and looked angry.
"I am not going bat crap crazy!"
The three Guardians emerged from Bunny's tunnels, and glanced around. The long hallway was different.
"I think we might be in a different part of the castle." Jack said hoping up onto his staff.
"Thank you captain oblivious." Bunny glanced around, "Come on mates, it's this way to her bedroom."
"Are you sure, I think it may be the other way!" Jack teased, blowing up some snow.
Bunny reached out and snatched Jack's staff away. "Mine now."
"Hey!"
Soft sobbing filled the room as Ro cradled Moody's head on her lap. "They're so sad!" He wailed brokenly. "Always so sad at night."
Rosella ran her fingers through the deep navy hair. "Night is when the real terrors come out. Left alone to think about everything and everything isn't always good for their moods."
"M-make it go away! Give everyone love, make them all happy!" Moody cried into the blankets.
Ro looked up and away from Moody, out the open window at the moon. "It doesn't work like that, Moody," She said sadly, blinking back her own tears. "I'm so sorry."
"I told you I knew where we were going!" Jack declared, throwing open another set of doors. Stepping in he froze. "Um."
"Oh yes Jack, this totally looks like Rosella's bedroom!" Bunny yelled at him.
"Now be fair Bunny, you led us wrong as well." North tried to calm them both down. The three of them now stood in what looked like a nesting coop for doves.
"What is this place?" Jack asked, watching some doves flying in and out of open windows. There was a shower of pink dust covering every window that the doves were flying out of.
"It's the coop," Bunny explained. "Tooth has fairies to collect teeth, Ro has doves to help spread the love. The dust covers the doves and they hold the dust until they find the child they were to deliver it to. Then they drop it on the child's head, and come back here through the few windows without a dust covering."
"That's ingenious!" North declared.
"Weird." Jack said, while having a stare off with a dove.
The dove won.
"Will you just calm down!" Rosella cried at Moody.
"No, I will not! I will be as angry as I very well please!" Moody's neon yellow hair flopped around his head as he yelled, standing on her bed.
"You'd feel a whole lot better if you would just calm the heck down!" Ro jumped to her feet, yelling back in his face.
"You're so annoying! All 'love is the best thing in the world!' and 'everyone should just be allowed to feel love all the time!'. Ugh! Not everyone want's to feel all that love, it's suffocating!"
"Liar! You big, fat, liar!" Ro screamed, feeling tears sting her eyes.
"I would know; I'm tapped into every kid and teenagers head! Some of them HATE it!"
North flung open a pair of doors, and revealed a large library. "I feel as though Rosella has an unnecessary amount of space in her palace considering only her lives here."
"No kidding. We're never gonna find her room!" Jack flopped down in a large armchair.
Bunny looked slowly around, remembering. "Rosella and I were in here earlier. I took her to her room after she told me about that bloke. I know how to get there from here, come on!"
Rosella sat on her bed with her forehead on her knees crying softly. Some pillows and other object were flung around her room. The screaming match between Moody and her had escalated far too fast for her liking.
Her door opened slowly, and she looked up. Bunny, Jack, and North stepped into her room, and all did a double take at the mess. "What did ya do to your room?!" Bunny cried out, staring around.
Jack, however, was the first to notice she was crying. "Hey, what's wrong?" Jack hurried over to Ro and sat on the bed next to her.
"Nothing," She said rather thickly, wiping at her eyes. Ro swung her legs down off the bed and stared at her feet.
"Rosella, what happened." North said gently walking over with Bunny to the old yet young spirit.
With a shaky sigh, she said, "Moody dropped by... We were just talking, then he was crying, then he was screaming... He said some of the kids hate what I do for them." If Ro had looked up she would have seen the three of them exchange looks of slight anger. Jack's hand touched her back as she continued. "We started arguing and then we were throwing stuff... He just left a few minuets ago."
Silence hung in the room for a few minuets, then Bunny said, "Don't listen to him, Rosella. None of the kids hate feeling like they're loved. That's ridiculous." Ro looked up and sniffled. The three Guardians offered Rosella a smile.
"Yeah," She wiped her eyes again, "I suppose you're right."
"You will come back to the Workshop with us for tonight." North said, lifting Rosella to her feet. Bunny grabbed her shoes and staff while Jack stood and stretched.
"Tomorrow's the big day, you ready Rosella?" Jack said, throwing an arm around her shoulders.
She jumped slightly at the contact, then looked at him questioningly. "Big day?"
"Well, yeah! You take the oath and become a Guardian, remember?" Jack squeezed her shoulders. Ro stood there, frozen.
No, she did NOT remember.
