Chapter 12

Raina's Point of View

I know I may have sounded hard on Nick, but knowing what Pitch and Razan are capable of, I wanted to keep him safe. I know how he must be feeling, because I have been in that position all my life. Struggling with disbelief of who I am when Jack first found me had almost gotten me killed, but because Jack told me how much he believed in me, it allowed me to remember who I was. Because Jack is the one who believes in me, I want to be the same for Nick. However, I just don't know how to make him see how important he is.

"Man on Moon, what am I to do?" I asked myself as I came into the Guardians court.

I sat on my throne-like chair and must have fallen asleep, because the next thing I know is Tooth shaking me.

"Tooth what is it?" I asked, rubbing the sleep out of my eyes.

"The globe, something's happening!" She answered, and I knew it wasn't something good.

I ran into the library to see the globe glowing. I ran to it and stared at it with a hint of surprise and anger written on my face. I sighed and then turned to look at everyone who came into the room

"Popocatepetl is erupting. I'm going to need everyone's help." I said and everyone started to get ready to go, well almost everyone.

"Even me?" Nick asked, coming into the room.

"Yes, I need you to help get the people to safety." I answer, and then I turned to the others to tell them what to do. "I'm going to need Adam, Henry, Delilah, Jack and Tooth to help stop the eruption. The rest of you will go and make sure the people that live near the volcano gets to safety." Everyone understood what they were supposed to do, and we all went our own separates ways to get to our destination.

Nick's Point of View

As Raina teleported to our destination, I followed everyone else outside and again was amazed by what was parked outside. Santa's sleigh. Even though it's been a couple of days since I last saw it, I still find it amazing. Climbing on board, I looked for the seatbelts and found nothing.

"Where's the seatbelts?" I asked, and was nervous with my answer.

"Who needs seatbelts, when you can enjoy the ride?" Was the answer Santa gave me and as soon as we started moving, I grabbed onto anything I could find, which turned out to be Daisy's hand. "Alright kids, it's going to get bumpy." Santa said and he threw a snow globe up in the air, which created a portal to our destination.

"This is so fun!" Daisy shouted, and I was so nervous about falling that I didn't enjoy it as much.

Flying through the portal, we found ourselves close to the volcano Raina talked about. We tried to not get too close, because there was fireballs flying out of it. This is definitely one of the craziest things I'm about to do. Adam stood up with his hands raised and had a smile on his face. I was most definitely sure why he would smile at a time like this.

"Now this is what I call a party." Adam said, and I couldn't understand how he thinks this will be fun.

"Where's Raina?" Daisy asked, looking around for her and I found myself looking for her as well.

"Try looking up." Bunny answered, pointing in the direction she was at.

Raina was flying next to the volcano, using her magic to stop the volcano and I wondered how she could be so brave and calm in a crisis like this. Jack and Tooth flew to go help Raina as Santa started to fly towards the ground to let everyone else out. As soon as we were close enough to the ground to jump out, Henry, Adam, and Delilah ran towards the volcano to help stop the lave flowing down towards the civilization below it. Then Santa flew the rest of us to the people Raina wanted us to save. In my mind I prayed for us to survive this.

Jack's Point of View

"So what's the plan Raina?" Tooth asked as soon as we reached her.

"Use our abilities to stop the volcano and give the people time to escape." Was her answer.

"Simple plan, let's hope it works." I said and we went to do what we do best, using our abilities to protect people.

I went over to the glaciers that hadn't fully melted and used my staff to make them stronger. It wasn't easy since there was fire flowing next to it, but I started to manage it's flow on my part of the volcano. I looked down below and saw Delilah, Henry, and Adam were doing their best to stop the flow coming down in their paths. Seeing how they were doing fine, I looked over at Tooth and saw her using her wings to create enough wind to send some fireballs back to where they were coming from. As I went to look at Raina, I found she was nowhere in sight. Then she appeared out of nowhere with her hands raised, as a big blast of wind crashed down on top of the volcano. The water helped some, but it didn't fully stop it.

I realized it will take a lot more than just wind and how long it was going to take to fully stop it. Raina must have thought this too and she looked tired from her last bit of energy, but was determined to not stop. Focusing on the task at hand, I started thinking that when this is over, not just the volcano, but this whole battle against Pitch and Razan is making me want to help Raina know that she can lend some of the weight on her shoulders to me, so she knows that she doesn't have to carry it all on her own.
