Here it is, the last part of this mini series, I hope you like Sophie's change I did and now I will be working on another chapter. Read and enjoy.
The five Guardians plus Jamie and Sophie all stepped into the globe room where MiM already had pulled up the crystal he used when he choose Jack to become a Guardian. The Guardians all smiled as they saw the crystal. "What? What's going on?" Jamie asked as he moved to stand beside Jack and Sophie beside Bunny.
"MiM's chosen a new Guardian." North told him as an image began to take shape above the crystal causing a gasp to come from both Jamie and Sophie.
Jamie stepped closer to the crystal, "That's… it's me…MiM has chosen… me… to be the new… Guardian?" Jamie stammered in awe.
"Does this mean I will never get to see Jamie again… ever?" Sophie asked, close to tears, thinking that she will be losing her brother.
Bunny quickly pulled her to him. "You will still get to see him ankle-biter, don't worry. All this means is that he'll be busier than usual."
"Isn't this sweet, MiM has chosen a new Guardian and not just any one but the one who was once the last light. Jamie Bennett wasn't it I must say I'm not surprised he did show the makings of a Guardian as a child." A voice mocked from the shadows.
"What do you want now Pitch?" Jack demanded, slightly annoyed that he showed up without being invited.
"I'm hurt Jack, crushed really that I didn't get invited to this little get together to let little Jamie know he's been given the honor of becoming the newest Guardian." Pitch replied sarcastically, a hand pressed to his chest.
"Rack off you shadow slinking rat-bag." Bunny growled as Sophie had pressed against his side the minute Pitch showed up.
"Manners Bunny, you don't want the girl to pick up any bad habits from you, now would you." Pitch taunted making Bunny scowl.
"You sure know how to ruin a party Pitch." Jamie sighed as he moved to stand in front of the Boogeyman. "What do you want?"
"Like I said before I came to congratulate you on becoming the newest Guardian Jamie. Now if you'll excuse me I've some would be murders to bring fear to."
As soon as Pitch was gone North asked Jamie and Sophie to join him in his private workshop which they did at both Jack and Bunny's urging. Once they were in the room North closed the door behind him. "I'm sure you remember Jack mention his center to you Jamie?" Jamie thought about it then nodded. "Good, my question is what are your centers Jamie, Sophie?"
Jack having explained what he meant when he mentioned his center to Jamie when asked, Jamie was silent for several minutes as he thought of what his center could be. "I got it, I know what my center is, Courage. I'm the Guardian of Bravery."
"And I'm the Guardian of Innocence." Sophie suddenly spoke up, having been quiet the whole time, listening to her brother and North talk and trying to think of what her center could be.
North smiled at them both. "Good, now that you both have found your centers we return to where others are so we can make Jamie official Guardian." He didn't mention anything about Sophie being chosen to them wanting it to be a surprise.
Phil handed North a book once they had returned, which he opened, turning to Jamie as Jack nudged him to stand in front of North. "Do you, Jamie Bennett, promise to watch over the children of Earth, guide them safely from the way of harm, guard them with your life their hopes and dreams for they are all that we have, all that we are and all that we will ever be."
Jamie, remembering the oath from when Jack took it, smiled as he grasped Jack's hand in his. "I will." He vowed, repeating the same words Jack had years ago.
Instead of closing the book after Jamie took the oath North beckoned Bunny forward with Sophie, much to Jamie's surprise. "MiM not choose just one new Guardian, he choose two." He smiled down at Sophie, who just stared up at him in shock as he repeated the oath.
"Why me, I'm still a child myself?" Sophie asked.
Tooth fluttered over to Sophie, placing a hand on her shoulder. "So was Katherine when she was chosen though you properly know her better as Mother Goose."
Hearing that her favorite nursery rhyme character is actually a Guardian surprised Sophie. She looked at her brother then Bunny before turning back to North. "So if I take the oath I will get to stay with Jamie and Bunny forever?" North nodded and Sophie stood to her full height. "Then I will."
As soon as North declared them both official Guardians everyone cheered, some more quietly then others and congratulated them with either a hug or a pat on the back. "So does this mean we're both immortal now or how does that work?" Jamie questioned North.
Everyone chuckled and north answered. "Yes you both Immortal now and, after Jamie's party, you must return here even you Sophie. Phil and other yetis will help move you…"
"I want to live with Bunny." Sophie announced before North can finish his sentence.
After a brief silence of her announcement North cleared his throat, "Very well the yetis will help move you into the Warren."
The morning after Sophie was moved into the Warren Bunny showed up at the Pole, upset and slightly nervous, insisting on talking to Jamie. By the time Jamie entered the room Bunny was pacing, trying to come up with a way to tell him that his little sister had changed drastically and that he had nothing to do with it. Jamie grinned as he watched the nervous Pooka pace, MiM having told him about his plans for his sister the night they became Guardians. "Bunny calm down, I already know about the changes Sophie has gone through. MiM told me, he also told me that he changed her to make up for you losing your entire race. MiM wishes for you to take Sophie as your mate so that you may revive the Pooka race and don't worry, she will keep her innocence."
Hearing that caused Bunny to relax, a smile slowly showing on his face. "MiM is giving me the chance to bring my kind back?" Jamie nodded once before leaving the now excited Guardian of Hope alone.
Back at the Warren Sophie woke up to the sudden urge to use her foot to scratch herself, which she did as if it was the most natural thing for her to do. Once she was finished scratching she let out a yawn then went over to the mirror in her room and screamed when she saw her reflection bringing Bunny crashing into her room, boomerangs in his paws.
"What happened to me?" She shrieked.
Putting his boomerangs away Bunny walked over to Sophie. "MiM changed you Sophie. He… well um…he." Bunny stammered unsure how to tell her what Jamie told him, his ears drooped and eyes staring at the ground as a light blush showed on his face.
Sophie, now realizing that she looked like Bunny except with blond fur, understood what Bunny was trying to tell her smiled softly and laid one of her paws on his. "I understand Bunny and I accept MiM's choice. I would love to become your mate." She whispered as she nuzzled him. Bunny sighed in relief and wrapped his arms around her.
Jamie, though his appearance didn't change, was taught by North, and on occasion Tooth, to use a sword as well as how to use boomerangs by Bunny in case he would ever have to fight. "You natural with sword Jamie." North praised one day a year after he and Sophie became Guardians.
"Thanks North that means a lot coming from you." Jamie grinned as he wiped the sweat off his forehead while Jack watched from where he floated near the ceiling. As soon as he was changed into clean clothes Jamie glanced up at the winter spirit. "You ready to go Jack? Sophie should have already had her kits and I would like to meet my nieces and nephews."
