Rise of the Guardians 2

Jacklene's freedom

*Jacklene's POV

       "Hey, take it easy. I know how you can fix this."

       "Does it look like I care? I like how I am! I have no emotions besides for anger and happiness. Both used when I kill you all!"

       I jump up with the help of the wind, I use my staff to launch icicles. Jack, being the hero he is, makes an ice wall. This blocks all the ice from the other guardians.

       "Oh Jack, you can't protect them forever." He raises his staff, "I know that, but at least I can die trying." I laugh "Awe, how cute." I float back down to the roof, "You know Jack, you aren't always going to be the strongest of the group. New guardians will come along. Bigger, better, faster, smarter. Hey, maybe you'll even have a robot be a guardian someday."

       Jack looks mad. "Oh, am I pushing your buttons? How about we go into your soft side, shall we? Your sister, what was her name?" He tightens his grip on his staff. "Oh that's right! You can't remember! Manny didn't tell you! You died saving her, drowned in the lake. No one came back for you,"

       "Stop it! You don't know her!" He screams. "Oh but I do, you see, I am the exact same, I too have a younger sibling, same sob story and everything. But in my case, I've learned to cope with my death.

       "Living an eternity with being invisible to the world. Honestly I like listening to the children's fears. Hearing them scream, giving nightmares for weeks on end."

       "Jacklene! This isn't you!" I walk towards him, he aims at me, I smile darkly, "But, Jack, I thought you liked me for me. After all, we are twins. We're connected, aren't we?"

       "What does that have anything to do with this?" I circle around him, eyeing the guardians each time I pass behind Jack. "Well, I'm me, you are me as well. You must also have a deep, dark wish. Part of you wishes to be like me, part of you wants to stay who you are now."

       I stop in front of him. "'What will the guardians think?' I asked myself the same question over and over. I chose to be me." He lossens his grip on his staff, "Come with me, you won't have any duties or whatever you want to call them."

       He looks towards the guardians then over to me again, I can tell he is trying to decide. "Okay..." I smile, "Then follow me."

       "Wait," he says.

       "Ugh, what now?" He steps back towards the guardians. "I can't, you need to come with us whether you like it or not." He hits the ground with his staff and snow starts falling, it snows hard.

       I fly off as best I can. The wind picked up pretty quick. I'm lost in the storm within five seconds. "You can't run Jacklene!" Jack yells over the wind. I fly faster, "Watch me!"

       He starts blasting ice at me. "You won't get away!" Suddenly something hits my arms, pinning them to my back. I fall to the ground and hit it legs first, I scream in pain. I scramble to my feet but fall each time.

       They eventually spot me and the storm stops almost immediately. "Told you, didn't get away after all. Try and use some of that anger, it'll help." Jack's smart-ass remark, if only my staff wasn't that far aw- My staff!

       "Where is my staff?!" Jack holds up my staff. "This one? You may not get this for a while." He laughs. "Not amused. Give it back and get me out of this!" He laughs. "Then come with us, you can have it then, and I'll get you out of there."

       "Fine, hand it over." He walks towards the sled, "Not until we leave." I sigh, reluctantly following him.

       I hop into the sled, Bunny and Tooth hold my arms. "Hey! Hands off!" Jack gives them a look, they back off a little bit. I glare at them.

       North takes off, the other guardians and Hiccup and Astrid follow behind. Hiccup looks a bit frightened. Good. Jack breaks the ice and hands me my staff. "Don't try and pull anything. I'll be watching." Wrong choice Frost.

       I make it snow, after a while I make it storm. North can barely see, I take this opportunity and get away. "Jacklene!" Jack shouts over the wind. "Didn't do a good job of watching me Fro-"
