When Lightning Strikes- A Jack Frost Fanfiction

11~ If It's Me She Wants

Different thoughts flooded forcefully through Skylar's head as she began to turn over and contemplate all that was said in the past few minutes. Her face became blank as she filed through the thoughts in her head, attempting to organize them and make a plan of action. Admittedly, this task may have been easier if the gaurdians were not staring at her inquisitively. She could feel their eyes locked on her every movemnt, searching for any outward signs of how she was dealing with the new information.

Th gaurdians all flinched back as she quickly held up a singular finger infront of her face and turned her blank stare lower, signaling that they needed to give her a second. Her eyes harshly closed and opened in moment before being followed by many quick momentary blinks to regain focus at the task at hand.

"Ok," She looked back up towards the guardians before taking a deep breath, finally landing on what to say.

"Wait, Lilly's coming for Skylar right?" Jacks signature spunk and joy was evident in his voice as he beat Skylar to the punch. He looked back to his friends expectantly awaiting the answer to his rhetorical question. The rest of the spirits stared back at him, confusion written across their faces. All of the spirits besides Sandy that is (and Skylar, whose angry stare was ignored by the winter spirit). The short yellow man nodded at Jack eagerly, seemingly on the edge of his seat as he waited for Jack to go on.

Jacks smirk grew larger as he revealed what he had conjured in his mind "So then why don't we just wait for her to come to us?"

All of the spirits rose to action at his words, appalled by the idea Jack had just shared.

"Mate are you serious-" "-Absolutely not-" "-we take action first-" "*rapid symbols*" "-she's too dangerous-" "-it would never work-" "-that would endanger everyone-"

Through the semi incoherent chatter, Skylars voice rose for the first time since she had been there.

"EVERYONE QUIET"

All of the spirits turned to her in astonishment, slightly scared at the storm spirits sudden outburst. Skylars face was wide with frustration as she paused for less than half a second, regaining her train of thought.

"I will be going home" Skylar stated roughly. "None of you" she pointed to all of the spirits around her "will be following me, or 'helping' me deal with this" she was met with stares from the guardians, looking at her mostly speechless.

"If it's me she wants, it's me she is going to get"

The spirits stared at Skylar for a few beats before North bursted into laughter.

"Ha ha! Zat is funny joke!" He walked forward and clapped a large hand onto the small of her back, knocking her forward and nearly off her balance.

"I'm searious!" Skylar directed with her hands, adding emphasis to her words. She took another deep breath (internally noting that her need for deep breaths had risen exponentially since she had come in contact with the guardians). "This is my issue and I intend on solving it myself." She stated still coming down from her rage and adjusting the belt which sat heavily on her hips.

Bunny hopped in front of Skylar, addressing her head on. "Skylar I don't think you quite understand how dangerous Lilly is"

The storm spirit felt rage pool one more in the pit of her stomach, originally only from others butting into her business but now also from a large purple bunny thinking she wouldn't be able to handle it herself. She quickly looked down to her hands, unbuttoning one of her fingerless gloves before ridding the same palm of the leather entirely.

Skylar directed her uncovered hand at a spot slightly to the left of Bunny, shooting a bolt which connected to the base of a tv behind him, sending it sputtering to life.
