Just to be clear, in this Fanfiction legends and myths can get sick, but only for a short while, like a day or so. Besides, I already planned out that she would be able to change to this color. I'd also like to apoligize, she has not been luging but skeletoning, but that is hard to say so I just say luge. I do not own the sport definition or rise of the guardians, just my OCs. Enjoy.
In sprint position, I readied myself for takeoff.
"On your mark, get set, GO!" Off I flew down the tube. I passed by many currents and types of fish. As I headed North, I saw the fish get more tropical around the equator. Of course, I was zooming by so fast that barely had time to look at everything. I was in hurry to get out of the tube and tell Jack what I knew, not because I was scared of being hunted, but because of my claustrophobia. Sure, it looked like there were no walls, but I knew they were there. I was afraid they were going to press in on me, even though I had the walls under control. I did manage a quick glance and noticed fish bumping into my tube. Great, another thing Mother Nature could give me heck about, my tube creating giant walls of water and blocking fish pathways. She can try to give me heck this time, but she'll have to catch me first. I have to be constantly on the move.
I finally made it to New Jersey shore; I shot out of the water, did an acrobatic flip, and perched on this air perch I made. I looked down; "Ee-ye-ah!" I've been to New Jersey before, and I know the tide is not supposed to go that high up the beach. Luckily it's early in the morning and no one noticed I flooded the beach. I quickly disintegrated the tube, and the water receded back down the beach.
Another problem to add to the list of things Mother Nature will get made about; I better get out of here. I made a Luge track to Burgess. For those of you that don't know, on Luge tracks I Skeleton. I guess I'm getting Olympic definitions wrong, but do you know how hard it is to say 'Skeleton track to this place' and 'Skeleton track to that'? It's easier just to say Luge; it's the same track, just a different way of riding it. So I'm breaking the rules and luging on my belly, is that so wrong?
When I made it to the New Jersey border, my Luge (Skeleton) track collapsed. That was weird, for I don't usually collapse my Luge tracks in the middle of riding them unless I want to make a sudden stop. I did not want to make a sudden stop, I wanted to keep going. So because my Luge tracks were faulty, I decided to fly. I flew for half the state, and then I fell. What was wrong with me? I don't mess up this much.
I tried to create a stairway and platform, so I could run over the trees, but when I tried to step on it, I stepped through it. There was definitely something wrong with me; I felt so cold and I couldn't get warm, I couldn't even insulate my clothes. Soon after I was boiling and couldn't make myself ice water to bathe in. 'Calm down' I heard from Mini-me in my head. I felt my heart and it was racing, so I took deep steady breaths, and it slowed.
I started to take in my surroundings. I was in a forest in Pennsylvania, my element. It was also dark, Pitch's element. If he was back on my trail, he might realize my plan and head straight for Jack. In that case I had to get going before something happened. Of course, if he was coming from the direction of the Sahara, he would see me first. If he saw the giant wave, he would know exactly where I stopped and turned, so he'd be heading the right way.
I still felt cold and hot. Mini told me to take care of those from inside. I made a little fire in my hand, my illusions were working again! So, I made a bowl of ice water in case I got hot, and a burning fire pit in case I got cold. Mother Nature can't scold me for this; people see illusions of light all the time. I still didn't know what wrong with me exactly. As I sat by the fire, warming myself, I contacted Mini-Me.
"Mini-me, come in Mini-me."
"What?"
"Check what's wrong with me, exactly."
"Fine, it's not very pleasant in here, might as well." She was silent for a bit. When I felt boiling, I felt a little rumble in me, and I knew that was her shivering. It made me feel queasy. I made myself a bucket, quickly filled myself with an illusion of food, and then vomited into the bucket. I disintegrated the bucket and all that was in it. When I went to get a drink, I saw my reflection. I was green and covered in little specks of yellow, red, grey, brown, orange, and clear bits; the color of vomit. Oh no! That could only mean 1 thing, I was sick beyond belief!
When I felt cold, I felt wet on the inside. Gross! She was sweating inside me! I made a cup and released her perspiration from my mouth. I needed the bucket again. I started to sneeze. I was in terrible condition, not fit to travel. How would I get to Jack? Pitch would surely catch up to me with the state I was in, and then he'd laugh because of the state I was in.
"So Doc, what's the damage?" Mini-me appeared on my shoulder dressed as a doctor, she even had a clipboard. You see, Mini-me becomes whomever I need, be it a friend (which she was before jack showed up) A therapist (Which I need whenever I'm having one of those I'm never going to be believed in moments) and in this case, a doctor.
"Well, it seems you are seriously sick."
"I figured that out. What caused it?"
"Well from the hot and cold flashes you're having, I'd say you have conflicting temperatures."
"What caused it?"
"When you rushed past all the different hot and cold currents, you didn't have time to adjust to a specific temperature, confusing your body. Plus added stress and anxiety made it even worse."
"How bad can it get?"
"Well, you're probably going to get a dry cough, and a fever which will make you delirious."
"This is embarrassing."
"Anyone can get sick."
"Jack doesn't get sick."
"Well you can't be like Jack. Now, I suggest, before it gets any worse, you make the syrup."
"No, that stuff's disgusting."
"I guess you can tell Pitch how disgusting it is before he destroys you." Why'd she have to play that card?
"Fine," I spat out. "I'll make the syrup, but don't expect me to enjoy it."
With a wave of my hand, I made a bottle of syrup and a spoon. I decided to read the label like a T.V ad.
"Super Duper Cold Syrup; Gets rid of all cold like symptoms, so you can get back to your everyday, whatever your everyday is. Side effects may include: Extreme Drowsiness, Extreme Mood swings, Cartoon ripple of tongue and popping open of eyes, and Temporary loss or malfunction of powers." You see not many myths and legends like getting sick because it messes with their schedule. I just don't like getting sick, period. So, I made this syrup so I wouldn't have to stay sick for long, except it's really disgusting and the side effects are really extreme.
I took the spoon, opened the bottle and the syrup poured out really slowly onto the spoon. It looked like tar, and it smelled like burps. I slowly put the spoon in my mouth and swallowed.
You know what happens when cartoons eat something disgusting, their tongues ripple and their eyes are really wide? That's what was happening to me. After that reaction I did any other normal reaction to ingesting medicine. "Blagh"
"You're starting to feel better, your temperature's returning to normal." Mini-me had gone back inside my head to keep an eye on the internals. I looked at my hands, the spots were disappearing and I was returning to normal colour.
"It's looking good on this end."
"Okay, but there's going to be~~malfunction~~powers." I looked around, the syrup and water were gone, and the fire pit was flickering in and out of my reality.
"Mini-me, come in Mini-me! We're breaking connection!"
"Ema, ~~a~~RUN!" Just then, a nightmare jumped out of the bushes. Oh no, they caught up with me! I tried to fly away, but I only flew up a foot then fell. My powers were still malfunctioning. I tried grabbing a weapon, put as soon as I pulled it out it returned to my quiver. I started to back up, and then tripped over a tree root. I pressed up against the tree and put my arm up for protection, knowing I was helpless and couldn't fight back.
Dun, dun dun. I just love leaving you in suspense. What do you think will happen? R&R and stay tuned.
