Chapter 15

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

Alicia did not expect for Hate to be so strong. She blocked most of his attacks and got hit but struggled to hit him back.

"What's wrong? Feeling to weak? Pathetic! Just like your Guardians. They don't stand a chance" Hate said.

Alicia's eyes widened when she saw he was right. The Guardians stood back to back surrounded by their hate versions. Jack was laying on the ground unconscious with Tooth trying to protect him.

Hate took the advantage and grabbed Alicia from behind. She struggled and looked down in fear. They were in the sky. One sudden movement and they would fall.

"Let's see how soft my landing will be" Hate whispered in her ear and they started to fall.

NO! Let me go! She shouted at him but his grip tightened. She heard a yell from the Guardians before she made impact.

The pain was so much that she almost blacked out. She only lay in the crater and listened to Hate laugh.

"Next are your Guardians and then your lover. But I'll leave a special treat for him" Hate said and moved towards the Guardians.

No…I need to…protect them. Alicia thought her vision swimming. Need to protect. She clenched her eyes shut. No! I won't leave them! I will Protect. I will!

Her eyes snapped open and glowed bright blue. The moon's ray hit her and lifted her off from the ground. Her whole body started to glow and everyone looked at her.

"WHAT?! NO!" Hate yelled. Alicia felt her whole body heal and her heart started to beat.

Alicia smiled, The curse is broken. The moonlight then left but her body still glowed bright blue.

She lowered her body onto the ground and as soon as her feet touched the ground light exploded and so did the Hate versions of the Guardians.

She stepped out of the bright light with a breathtaking green dress that ran down her legs.

Her hair was blond once more but had brown highlights in it. Her eyes were still light blue and her feet were bare. At her side she had a scepter of gold and the stone was red.

Her eyes shot up to Hate's, who was turned in horror. "You have crossed the line, Hate. You don't mess with my family, or my friends. Now you must pay for your crimes." Alicia spoke and Hate cowered.

"Please no, I'm sorry. I'll do anything" He pleaded but Alicia saw his lie. Her eyes caught sight of a Hate figure behind Bunny. A vine snapped up and surrounded the figure.

Her face was stoic as her grip tightened and it screamed in agony. It soon fell to dust and an agonizing scream was heard from Hate.

"NO! I WILL NOT LOSE! YOU HAVE NOT SEEN THE LAST OF ME!" He yelled. The Moon's beam burned him to nothing and Hate was gone.

Finally, I thought he would never give it a rest. Alicia thought and saw Jack's unconscious body.

The Guardians rejoiced except Alicia who walked towards the fallen Jack. "JACK!" Tooth yelled and was stopped by Bunny.

Tooth looked at Bunny ready to yell at him but stopped. He shook his head. Tooth swallowed hard and felt her heart beat in her stomach.

Alicia kneeled by his side and took his hand where the stone was. "Sorry about this Frost" She said and her eyes glowed.

The stone in his palm started to glow with her eyes. The stone then moved where her eyes went and moved into his heart.

Alicia slightly flinched when she felt it penetrate but kept her face stoic. It glowed and then dimmed after a few seconds. Jack gasped awake and breathed heavy.

Alicia's heart leaped for joy and put a hand on Jack's shoulder. "Calm your breathing" Alicia said and Jack nodded.

After a few seconds he registered who was next to him. "Wait! Alicia!" Jack exclaimed and she nodded.

"In the flesh" She said. Tooth tackled Jack and kissed his in front of everyone, making everyone turn a deep shade of crimson.

North crushed Alicia in a hug making her gasp without oxygen.

"Can't…breathe" She rasped out and North let her go. She laughed and hugged him again.

"It good to have you back Alicia" North said, Sandy gave her a thumbs up and the others smiled. Bunny on the other hand felt guilt wash over him.

Alicia felt it and rolled her eyes, "Moon, you're so annoying sometimes" Alicia said and crushed Bunny's lips on hers.

Everyone was surprised even Bunny but soon kissed her back. Alicia broke apart and giggled, "You're welcome" She said and saw a light blush beneath Bunny's fur.

Everyone laughed. "I'm so glad ya back Sheila" Bunny said and Alicia nodded. "Well I'm here to stay for good this time" Alicia said and took her hand in Bunny's paw.

North cleared his throat and everyone looked at him. "We should celebrate! And make you official Guardian" North said and everyone nodded.

"I have only one request" Alicia said and bit her lip. "What is it Sheila?" Bunny asked and Alicia laughed nervously. "I want my family to come and…Pitch" She said.

There was complete silence between them. "Come on you guys, he is the one that brought me back. He never did any harm" Alicia said half lying. He did hurt her that once but he was under Hate's control.

"Well, if you can get him to come" North said and everyone looked at North like he had two heads.

"Are ya out of ya-"Bunny was cut off when Alicia hit him with her elbow. "Thank you. Now may we leave?" Alicia asked and they nodded. She looked at Bunny who smirked.

"Buckle up" She said and everyone's eyes widened when the hole opened beneath them. "Just an expression" North managed to say before he and the others fell down the hole.
