Chapter 9

Disclaimer: I do not own Rise of the Guardians or any of the characters

Alicia watched in worry as they carried the Pooka away but was grabbed by Jack. "Come on!" He said and rushed to the Globe Room. He looked around searching for something.

Alicia rolled her eyes at the teenage boy. Doesn't even know what to do after all this time. She thought and pulled the leaver, signaling for the Guardians. "How did you know?" Jack asked and she shrugged.

"They should arrive soon. Where did you find him?" Jack asked and got another hit. "Ow! Okay her!" He said and rubbed his arm.

How on Earth am I going to explain myself? She thought for a second before she got an idea. She opened her palm. She concentrated and her eyes started to glow.

Jack took a step back in surprise and a blue diagram of a forest appeared. Alicia closed her palm and her eyes turned back to normal.

"Whoa! That was awesome!" Jack said and Alicia nodded. Yes it was, but not so awesome… She thought and fell on one knee.

"Sorrow! Are you okay?" Jack asked and she nodded. Too much energy, nice one Sorrow…hey wait! He's calling me by my Spirit name. That's new.

She stood up, "Are you sure?" Jack asked and she nodded.

"Jack!" A Very Familiar female voice yelled and Jack was tackled in a hug. That was fast.

Alicia was shocked at first but when she saw who it was she smiled. They finally came to. She thought and felt an ache within her heart.

After a while they realized she was still standing there and broke apart blushing. "A-ah um sorry. Tooth this is Sorrow, Sorrow this is Tooth" Jack introduced.

Tooth smiled, "Hi! You must be a new! So what's your name? Oh! How's you're Teeth?" She asked and Alicia's eyes grew wide. No, Tooth!

Too late. She was looking around in Alicia's mouth with her fairies and gasped. "They're beautiful!" She exclaimed.

My teeth are luckily still in tacked. Alicia thought. I'm glad they're not as pointy as Pitch's. Alicia laughed silently.

"Sandy!" Jack exclaimed and Alicia turned around to face no one other than the Sandman. Moon how I missed these guys. Alicia thought sadly.

"Sandy this is Sorrow, Sorrow this is Sandy" Jack introduced and Alicia smirked.

Check Mister Personality. She said to Jack and greeted Sandy. Jack whipped around to find the voice but found no-one.

"Jack?" Tooth asked. "Huh? Oh sorry. Sorrow doesn't have a voice just like you Sandy. But she doesn't communicate by sand" Jack said and they nodded.

"So you are the spirit of Sorrow I take it?" Tooth asked and Alicia nodded. "That must feel pretty bad sometimes feeling all that…" Tooth trailed off.

Alicia felt the same sense of sorrow deep down from them. She recognized it as the loss for something or someone…

"North! Ya know ya unbelievable! It's exactly like last time mate! A week before Easter!" Bunny's voice echoed through the globe room.

Alicia Froze instantly and all the color drained from her face. "Bunny! Easter is not as important as Christmas" North said coming into the Globe Room.

The moment Alicia and Bunny's eyes locked there was an intense pressure. It made everyone uncomfortable and Alicia's chest started to ache for the longed feeling, but she couldn't feel it, it was gone.

Bunny on the other hand got a very uneasy feeling from Alicia. The way she looked at him made him feel uneasy but somewhere it felt familiar. Especially those blue eyes.

North cleared his throat and everyone's attention snapped to North. "Well, now that everyone is here. Our new friend here found something shocking" North said and everyone looked at Sorrow.

She nodded her head for North to continue. "You might all want to sit down." North said and looked at Bunny.

"Pfft, whatever it is we can handle it!" He said and Jack rolled his eyes. "Bunny, you might need to come with me" North said and Bunny raised an eyebrow but followed.

Everyone followed North and stood outside a room. "Stay here" North said to the others and they went inside. "This is going to be interesting" Jack said.

Indeed Frost, Indeed. Alicia thought. She saw in the corner of her eye Sandy looking at her. It wasn't long before they exited the room.

Bunny looked as white as a sheet and his ears were drooped. "Bunny?" Tooth asked. Bunny ignored her and looked right at Alicia, "Where did ya find 'er?" Bunny asked and Jack cut in.

"She found her in a forest" Jack said. Bunny's face expressions changed to anger and Alicia somehow knew what was coming. "Did ya find 'er or did ya beat 'er up first?" He asked angrily.

Alicia did not expect that, from all the things he could've said that was the thing that hurt. Alicia knew he didn't recognize her but still. She stood tall against him and her eyes glowed. No-one expected her to touch him.

Bunny's eyes widened when he saw how she find the Pooka in the forest. I never injured her Bunnymund, you should know. He heard a voice say before his vision turned to normal.

Alicia turned around. "Hey Wait!" Jack said and she glanced at him. She gave him a wave before she disappeared in the shadows once more.

"Well that was smooth" Jack said, angry at Bunny for his behavior. He turned around and left leaving the rest.

"Tooth, Sandy. I need help. Bunny you go cool off" North said and they walked into the infirmary room leaving Bunny alone. That voice…those blue eyes…i-it couldn't be. Bunny growled and walked into the globe room.

"Came to cool off Kangaroo?" Jack asked and Bunny glared at him. "Rack off ya bloody show pony" Bunny said and Jack smirked.

Before he could give a cocky reply a ray of moonlight shone in and they froze. "Ah old friend, good to see you. What brings you here?" North asked coming into the room.

The moonlight made a shadow of a reptile eye and everyone raised an eyebrow. "Well at least we know it's not Pitch" Jack said.

"Yeah but who is it? We don't recognize the eyes" Tooth said and Jack shrugged.

"Manny what must we do?" North asked. A crystal came out of the ground, "He's chosen new Guardian" North said.

"Wait-wait what?" Bunny asked surprised. As if this day could even get any more surprises. "Please not the Groundhog. Please not the Groundhog. Please not the Groundhog" Bunny begged.

"Well what d'ya know. Guess Bunny will get time to Apologize. North, get the sack." Jack said with a smirk as he looked at a splitting image of Sorrow.

A hologram started to show and everyone gasped except Jack."The Sheila! That ain't right mates, what does she do for the children! There ain't no good in what she does!" Bunny exclaimed.

Jack glared at him. "It's not her fault she's born that way Cottontail! If you don't like her you better suck it up because she's one of us now" Jack said and surprised everyone.

He turned around and flew out the door.
