Chapter 7: Bloody Mary
Everyone turned around at the voice. They looked on top of the globe, where the clouds opened up to reveal a woman. She was short, with piercing eyes. She wore a long, black dress, and a 16th Century headdress that covered her brown hair.
Her rough voice echoed again. "How DARE you not bow to the rightful Queen of England?!" North, Bunny, and Jack looked at each other, confused. Meanwhile, Gemma stared at the Queen, defiance on her face. The woman stared back at her.
"State your name, and your rank!" She ordered. "You know who I am. We've met in London." Gemma glared at the Queen. "Of course, your Majesty, your reign ended years ago. 1558, if I'm right. A new royal family rules England, and your family is no more."
"How DARE you speak like that to the daughter of Henry Tudor, the rightful heir to the throne!" "Uh, Gemma, care to explain?" Bunny muttered. The woman turned her attention to Bunnymund. "Do not mutter in front of me, rabbit. If I had my dogs here we would be eating you for supper. Now, repeat what you said to her."
The woman towered over them, her eyes seeming like they pierced the others souls. Bunny straightened himself, saying "I asked Gemma to explain what was going on." "Well, I can explain. I am Mary I of England, daughter of Henry VIII of England and his only wife Catherine of Argonne. I am England's first ruling queen, and am more commonly known as Bloody Mary. I haunt the lives of teenagers, bringing depression and anxiety to their lives, as I once was. My reign was sad, since I did not have an heir, and my wretched sister came to rule. Now, my reign will be forever, and you will bow down to me!"
Thunder boomed. Lightning cracked. Bloody Mary paced on top of the globe. "I have come to talk to our little Scottish woman tonight, and she WILL accept." "And why would I?" "Because I am the Queen! Most peasants would be delighted to see her Royal Highness. Now, come with me!"
Suddenly black clouds swarmed around Gemma, absorbing her body. Gemma yelled and tried to fight it, but couldn't. Bunny threw a boomerang into the clouds, but didn't do a thing. North took his swords and hacked at the wall of black, but, like the boomerang, didn't do a thing. North called the yetis, who had been sent back to work in the lower levels.
Jack watched in horror as his friend was being swallowed up, then turned to the Queen. Using his staff, he shot a stream of ice at her, trying to freeze her. She saw the move coming and lifted her hands, forming a wall of black clouds in front of her. Jack looked for Gemma again, but clouds were all that he saw. "No!" Jack shouted, reaching his hand into the wall. Nothing.
It was over. As fast as it had darkened, the room was clear, no clouds or creepy woman in sight. Gemma was gone, too. "Where's Gemma?" Jack asked, worriedly searching the room. North was already calling the other Guardians with the Northern Lights. Bunny was staring around, looking just as confused and shocked as Jack was. Finally his senses came back to him. "North, they need to get here, NOW!" Bunny said, hopping towards North.
This made Jack look at him in surprise. Why would Bunny care all of a sudden? Yes, he saw everything, but he really didn't like Gemma. North noticed, too, and asked, "Why do you care all of sudden?" "Because I don't like that Bloody Mary Shelia. Now, I can go get Tooth-"
"Oh, I get it," Jack said, smirking, "you're afraid of her dogs, aren't you?" "Me?" Bunny said. "Afraid of some little hounds? He he, no, not me." "Well, if you aren't afraid of them, then why are you so worried?" "Yes, Bunny," North said, turning to the rabbit, "Why are you so concerned? Do you like little Scottish girl?"
Both Jack and Bunny looked shocked at this remark. "What? No! She's Frozone's girl." Bunny said, pointing to Jack. "What? No! She is not my girlfriend!" Jack said, looking slightly embarrassed. North grinned, he loved messing with the two of them just as much as they did.
"North! We saw the lights!" Tooth's familiar voice called out from above. She and Sandy flew down through the window. "What's going on?" She looked around for Gemma. "Where's the new Guardian?"
