Chapter 12
Disclaimer: I do not own Rise of the Guardians or any of the characters
It turns out that Cullipso couldn't remember what happened to her. She remembers being in a dark place and then found a way out.
Everyone thought that she was kidnapped, everyone except Alicia. As the spirit of Sorrow and Despair she would've seen what happened to her, but didn't.
She also didn't talk or spared her a glance most of the time.
All she saw was those eyes even when she touched her. But she kept that information to herself, not that the others would listen or pay attention to her. Her longing seemed to be replaced by pain and despair.
She didn't want to be near the Guardians or the new edition. The fact that she was supposed to be a Guardian flew out by the window and the reason was never mentioned.
Alicia was just to sit and watch how her past life disappeared without a trace and was replaced.
It didn't matter anyway. She thought. The moon made sure I would never be able to return me back to my old self.
She sighed and let her head fall back on a tree. The Guardians decided that Cullipso should stay with Bunny. Jack had managed to drag Alicia along saying it was fun but she didn't think so.
She watched as Bunny chased Jack trying to get him back for drenching his fur in 'googie' coloring and Jack laughed all the way.
"Hey" Alicia heard Cullipso greet. It also turns out she had no accent like Bunny or weapons. They were probably taken away by her kidnappers. Alicia thought sarcastically.
She put up a hand and waved. Cullipso sat down next to her, "I never got to thank you for saving me. So thank you," Cullipso said and Alicia nodded.
"I never thought I would see light or even find another from my kind again. But Thanks to you I found Bunny, like you found the missing puzzle piece" Cullipso said with a smile.
A missing puzzle piece?! He's a someone, not a piece of wood! Alicia thought furiously.
Alicia kept her face stoic and looked at Cullipso. In a mere split second she could've sworn she saw her grin with those eyes but it was replaced by the fake skin.
"Catch me Cottontail!" Jack yelled at Bunny who was growling. "We don't have time for this Frostbite! North wants us at the Pole! So be good and come 'ere so I can kill ya'!"
It brings back memories…
Flashback
Alicia had fallen in a stupid hole and landed in the Rabbit's warren. They were arguing and were at each other's throats.
"What do ya mean ya just fell in?!" He shouted at her. She growled, "I need not explain myself to you! You were the one that opened the hole! Argh, I'm leaving!" She said and turned to walk away.
"Now wait there Sheila-"Bunny was cut off when the wind blew him. There was a splash and Alicia turned around to face a soaked Bunny in his 'googie' paint.
She burst out laughing and rolled on the grass. "Oi, ya think that's funny?" Bunny said and had a sly smirk. The next thing she knew she was drenched beside Bunny in the paint.
She gasped and then looked at Bunny who was laughing his fur off. She tried to stay mad but it resulted in them both laughing and splashing each other.
Later on they chased each other around, both laughing.
End of Flashback
Alicia felt a wave of sorrow yet again wash over her. She growled and stood up.
She walked away from everyone and looked around. The sun's beams looked beautiful on the flowers and the 'googies' that ran past her.
"Hey! Where are you going?" She heard Jack ask her and she shrugged. She sat down on the grass and looked at the lake.
"Cullipso said she talked to you but you stood up and walked away. What's your problem?" Jack asked.
Alicia couldn't believe her ears, That liar. Oh how I wish I could burn the fur off of her body!
"She's been trying to communicate with you, we all have but you just shut us out" Jack said and Alicia shot up.
She glared at Jack and he flinched somewhat. Her face showed pain and anger. Alicia looked at his hand that had a stone glowing blue inside
She looked back at his face, I should've known, you all would turn to her. She thought and turned to leave.
"Fine! Run away!" Jack said. Alicia's eyes glowed and she heard Jack yelp. Then she left in the shadows.
Alicia appeared in the globe room and North jumped in surprise. He sighed when he saw who it was. "Well I'm glad you could join us, we just need to wait for others" He said and Alicia nodded.
There was no words said about her becoming a Guardian and Alicia thought it would only be a waste of time anyway. They didn't even tell her why.
She stood behind a pillar and it wasn't long till everyone arrived. "North this beta be good mate. Ya really have the nerve to call me 5 days before Easter" Bunny said angrily.
"I do and it is for your own good" North said. "I doubt it" Bunny mumbled.
"Well then now that we know Cullipso is friend we need to discuss some…circumstances" North said and Alicia's ears peaked. She glanced behind her to see what North was talking about.
"As you all know you are last of Pooka's so-" No…nonononono.
Alicia watched in horror as North said the next. "-so it is up to you to make sure Pooka's don't go extinct"
Alicia couldn't believe her ears or what she had seen. Her world came crashing down and time seemed to freeze. The pain in her heart exploded and tears fell freely from her eyes.
She didn't even notice everyone look at her in surprise. "Sorrow?" Jack asked surprised. Alicia looked Bunny straight in the eyes and told him the next.
How could you?! I…I loved you. She said and disappeared. She would never want to see his face or the Guardians again.
She had lost the one she loved and the ones that were family to her.
