Chapter 5
Raina's Point of View
I was right when I told myself that there would be a lot of questions asked. As soon as we got to my home, Nick started asking how we got there and why no one has been able to find it. It took a lot of explaining, but when he started asking more questions, I told him it was best to ask more once we were inside. Once inside, we were joined by my other friends and we all went to the library.
"Hi I'm Daisy." I heard her introduce to Nick.
"Nick." Was his reply.
"So what happened back there? I mean it was a total uproar when the Guardian's left, wait was it Pitch!? Is that what all that was about, was he after you? That must have been pretty-" Daisy started.
"Daisy, give the boy some space." Adam said, stopping her before she could say anymore.
"Sorry." Daisy replied, realizing that she talked too much.
We came to the sitting area in the library and some of us sat in the chairs, while others stood or leaned against the large fireplace. Looking at Nick, I could tell that he was ready to have all his questions answered.
"Alright now that we're all here, I believe you have some questions for us." I said, talking to Nick and waited for his questions.
Nick's Point of View
So many questions popped into my head that started to give me a headache. Tonight so many things happened that I'm not sure if some of it actually happened. One minute I'm lying in bed dying, and the next I wake up feeling better than I had for a long time and the only people who can see me is the people sitting across from me and that man who chased me all the way to the park. Going through my thoughts, I asked the first question that came to mind.
"Who are all of you?" I asked, and they all seemed to expect this question.
"I'm Raina, but most people refer me as Mother Nature, this is North, commonly known as Santa, Bunnymund the Easter Bunny, Tooth the Tooth Fairy, Sandy the Sandman, and Jack Frost, together we're a group called Guardian's. That is Delilah, Henry, Adam, and you've already met Daisy." Raina answered, and I couldn't believe what I was hearing.
"Wait wait, your telling me that you guys are some of the mythical people that my six year old sister still believes in, and you expect me to believe that?" I ask disbelievingly.
"Then else do you explain us?" Bunny asked, in a tone that I did not like.
"I don't know, a dream maybe." I answered and was received with an eye roll from him.
"Look Nick, I know that tonight was crazy and your unsure of everything, but we are real." Tooth said, and I wasn't sure if I should believe her.
I sat in silence for a moment, contemplating on what should my next question be. There were just so many, but looking at the others, I could see that they were willing to stay up all night until my questions were all answered.
"Ok who was that guy that chased me all the way to the park." I asked, and i could feel the mood change.
"His name is Pitch Black." Santa answered, and I could feel the air becoming colder.
"The Boogieman?" I asked, just to make sure.
"Yes, and for a month now he's been in hiding." Raina affirmed.
"If he's been in hiding, then what does he want with me?" I asked, feeling confused and slightly afraid of the answer.
It became quiet and when I could see that the others were looking at Raina, who's expression hardened. Not sure of what was going on, I continued to sit there until Jack spoke up.
"Raina?" Jack said, breaking Raina's train of thought.
"He was summoned by his master Razan, someone I thought has been dead for the past one thousand years." Raina said, which still didn't answer my question.
"That still doesn't answer my question." I replied, not sure if I would even like the answer.
"Look I'm not sure why they're after you, but I believe it ties up with how you were chosen by Man on Moon." She stated, and I was very confused at the last part.
"What do you mean chosen? Chosen for what?" I asked very confused.
"We may never know Man on Moon's intentions, we may find out what you were chosen for in time, but no matter what happens, we will protect you." Raina answered, with a fierce courage that started to make me admire her for it.
After that, I didn't have any questions to ask, so Raina told me that I could stay here with her and some of the others, since the other Guardian's had their own homes, and once I was led to my room, I didn't think I was able to sleep that night, but once my head landed on my pillow, there was no stopping me from sleeping.
