Chapter 11

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

Alicia swung her arm and the most unexpected thing happened. Jack's arm swung as well and blocked the incoming attack. Everyone's eye grew wide except Alicia's.

Forgive me Pitch. She said and frost burst out of Jack's hand shooting Pitch back into the shadows.

Jack and Bunny were stunned about what just happened and Alicia was also surprised. No way! So that's why…I'm somehow connected with him.

"Sorrow!" Jack exclaimed and flew down by her side. She felt a wave of disorientation hit her but brushed past it.

"Jack! How on Earth did ya do that mate?" Bunny asked and Jack shrugged. "I don't know, but we'd better get out of here" Jack said and Bunny nodded.

Alicia rolled her eyes. Looks like I'm don't have an opinion. She thought and was suddenly shoved into a bag. Bunny! She yelled out to him before she could stop herself.

Bunny froze and his ears peaked up. "What's wrong?" She heard Jack ask.

"Nothin' mate, let's just get this Sheila to North" Bunny said although he could've sworn he heard someone yell at him.

Alicia was thrown though a portal and clenched her eyes shut. But unlike last time when she had her powers she couldn't break free and landed hard on the floor.

Again?! Unbelievable! She groaned and opened the bag. "There she is!" North exclaimed as Alicia was lifted.

She glared at the yetis and they quickly put her down. She crossed her arms over her body and waited for an explanation. "I hope the yetis treated you well" North said but got no response from her.

Alicia raised her eyebrows. "North, I think she might need an explanation" Jack said and Alicia nodded. "Well, you are here because you are now Guardian!" North exclaimed and Alicia froze.

WHAT?!

Music started to play and trumpets was blown. Alicia didn't pay attention to anything.

I…I was chosen? WHY?! After he almost…almost….now he wants me as a guardian?! I always listened to Manny but I will not anymore. I'm done. She thought angrily.

Her eyes flashed a bright blue and a wind blew everyone back.

Alicia frowned and shook her head. Sandy, the only one who seemed to understand, though confused, showed images to the Guardians.

"She doesn't want to be one? Want? You were chosen by Man in Moon" North said and Alicia's frown deepened.

Man in Moon? Huh, he was the one that took my voice away. Alicia thought and Sandy's eyes widened.

"Sandy?" North asked and Sandy made images above his head. "He-he took voice away?" North asked and Alicia nodded.

Everyone was stunned. Manny took away her voice? Why?

Alicia saw the moonlight shine in and disappeared behind a pillar. Sandy, if you would please tell them that I decline their offer. Besides, I don't think I'm worthy anyway. All I do is bring sorrow and despair…and pain. She said and walked out of the room.

Sandy looked down sadly and shook his head at the confused Guardians. They couldn't wrap their minds around the fact that Manny took her voice.

Why did he took the Sheila's voice? That doesn't make any sense. Bunny thought confused.

Everyone was silent while the moonlight shone in. "Why did you take away her voice?" North asked but got no answer.

"This is bloody unbelievable, I think its beta' this way mates. I mean what does that Sheila know about bringing joy to children? She's the Sorrow Spirit" Bunny said with disgust.

"You guys! She never asked for it and Man in Moon didn't even make her a spirit-"Jack covered his mouth. "Jack, what do you mean?" Tooth asked.

"Talk Frostbite" Bunny said and Jack sighed in defeat. "Manny didn't make her a spirit, Pitch did" Jack said and everyone gasped.

Alicia passed dozens of yetis and toys flying around in the workshop. Elves fell of the table or electrocuted each other as she went. But she didn't respond.

I can't believe he choose me? Why? As an apology? Oh Geez I'm sorry Summers but you are now Guardian, feel better? Alicia mocked.

Sure I feel better, after I burn your face! Oh wait I can't you took that away too! She let her shoulders slump.

I should calm down and watch out. Sandy can also read my thoughts so I must watch what I think or try not to think at all.

She passed a room and heard thrashing and moaning inside. She opened the door and saw the Pooka thrashing around madly. Her eyebrows was knitted and pain could be seen in her expression.

She rushed over to her and grabbed her shoulders. Calm down! Calm Down! Alicia shouted to her.

The Pooka's movement seized and her eyes snapped open. Alicia's eyes widened when she saw the exact same eyes as in her dream.

Before she could compose herself and was thrown out of the room and hit her back against a railing. Again! Even in this life I hit my back…Ironic.

She closed her eyes for a brief second waiting for the pain to disappear. "Sorrow!" Jack yelled and Alicia felt a cool breath near her. She opened up her eyes and waited for her vision to clear.

Flashback

Alicia!" She heard Jack shout and heard him came next to her. She was too tired and cold to open her eyes. "Wake up! Come on!" He shouted and Alicia growled when his cold skin touched her own freezing one.

End of Flashback

Alicia snapped back to reality and saw Jack looking worriedly over her. She didn't care. All that bothered her were those eyes. It was the same eyes she had dreamed about for a while.

A pair of eyes appeared out of the darkness but they were strange. They looked like a reptile's eye and glowed yellow.

She zoned out and looked at Bunny who was calming the Pooka down.

Her eyes were a purple color and looked normal but Alicia knew deep down it was only a shell. She didn't know how she knew it and she didn't care but one thing was certain, she was not on their side.

Alicia slowly stood up with the help of Jack and looked up at him. She nodded her head as a thank you and Jack smiled.

"That's it mate, you're safe. That Sheila brought you here after she found ya injured in the forest" Bunny spoke softly and it made a coursing pain in Alicia's stomach.

"I-I'm so sorry" The Female Pooka apologized. "It okay, but you still need rest. Then you can tell us what happened, no?" North said and she nodded.

"But first tell us what's your name Sheila?" Bunny asked. "My name's Cullipso"
