Sophie was in her bedroom playing Among Us on the Switch. She had her window open and was waiting for her best friend Jack Frost to join her in her room. She wanted to talk to him, so she hoped he wasn't busy and could visit her.
She wanted to talk to him about something about what she has been seeing in the dark, and in her dreams. The fear she felt, the dread she felt seeing them. So, she wanted to talk to Jack about it all.
She was starting to feel watched a lot now adays.
Sophie was wanting to see if Jack knew what was going on. She put her gaming system down when the battery died on her. She sighed deeply and leaned back against the bedframe. She grabbed her phone, and scrolled through Twitter for a bit, before getting bored.
She looked over at the open window. Was he busy?
She knew that he couldn't always come to her or Jamie, he was now a busy guy since he was a Guardian. She frowned at the empty window. Though she knew all of that, it upset her that her best friend and her guardian was to busy to see her.
She just needed to remember that he was helping other children. She wasn't really a child anymore. She was a teenager, not a child. She was almost an adult. The Guardians were for the children mainly.
It just didn't hurt her any less.
He will be here when he is able to. She knew that.
Sophie got out of the bed and to the window. Sitting on her window seat, she brought her knees to her chest, wrapping her arms around them and resting her chin on her knees as she watched the world around her.
"Sophie." A voice purred to her. It sent shivers through her body, as dread filled her again. She looked around her room. She was home alone, her parents were out on a date night. Like they do every Friday night.
She wished that they were home, someone she could run to. She wanted them or Jamie or Jack here with her at this moment.
But she was home alone.
Sophie jumped when the lights turned off. Leaving her in the dark. She looked over at the side table beside her bed where she knew a flashlight was hiding. She then looked around her and froze seeing the familiar gold eyes looking at her.
She heard the voice purr out her name once more.
Her eyes darted to her bedside once more before making a dash for it to grab the flashlight. But something wrapped around her ankle, and she grunted as she was tripped to the ground. She turned to look at her ankle and with the help of the moonlight, she saw what looked like the sand that Sandy used, but black.
She tried to get it off but it just started growing. Getting bigger and bigger.
traveling up her leg and kept going.
She screamed and tried to get away but the sand around her didn't allow her and she was soon stuck as it was around her body, pinning her to the ground. She struggled as tears fell from her eyes.
"Oh sweet Sophie. No crying." The voice told her. Sophie looked around as the golden eyes watched this all happening. "Jack! Help me!" She screamed. Soon she felt something starting to burn on her finger.
"Now you belong to me." He told her. "Sophie!" A familiar voice said. She looked at the window and saw Jack there. Hope filled her. Sandy was there with him, and he went to Sophie. Touching the sand around her, working on getting her free.
Sophie begged Sandy to get it off of her. as Jack charged at the golden eyes in the shadows. But soon the sand was gone, and so was the golden eyes.
Sophie hugged Sandy, and then Jack. Thanking them repeatedly. She then looked down at her hand that was burning, and her eyes widened. So did Jack's and Sandy's
A mark was on her ring finger.
She tried to get it off, but it wouldn't be removed. "We need to gather the Guardians." Jack told Sandy, who nodded and went out to send a signal to the rest of the Guardians.
Sophie was in danger.
