Where there's Shadow, there's always Light

Chapter 8

8:30pm. It was just getting dark and quite chilly, the group of us were getting ready to go our separate ways, Nick, Bunny and Sandy to interrogate Pitch and Toothia, Jack and I to get rid of some Shadows and get some information on them in the local towns. Nick, Bunny and Sandy were going via the Sleigh, to Bunny's much horror, and my group were flying. We planned to meet back on the Pole to speak about what new information we had, or we hoped to get. I didn't really like the idea of going with Jack but once the big man's spoken nothing can change his mind, it doesn't really matter that much anyway to be honest. I'll probably just ignore Jack and the awful glare he has been giving me lately.

"Ready to go?" Nick called out from behind the Sleigh.

"Do I have to go on the Sleigh, Nick. My tunnels are much safer." I heard Bunny grumble loudly. Hah the big Bunny's afraid of flying. I picked up the wind and flew over to Bunny, picking him up as I went.

"Aaaahhhhhhh! Put me down, put me down!" Bunny started screaming like a girl. Wait no that's offensive to girls. He screamed like a little baby, that should cover it. Mawahahaha! I was laughing so hard at the screaming Bunny that I almost flew into one of the walls, of course, this are Bunny scream even harder, if that was possible.

"Lillia! Put him down!" Came a angry Russian voice. I sniggered and obeyed, letting go of Bunny so he dropped to the ground, he landed hard on his feet.

"Ow ow ow OW!" Bunny started hopping from one foot to the other as if the floor was boiling hot. "Damn you girl!" I couldn't control myself, I started laughing so hard I had to clutch my stomach because it hurt to much, tears were running down my cheeks.

"Lillia!" Nick barked from within the Sleigh. "Leave Bunny alone!"

"I didn't do anything!" I shouted back landing on the ground whilst wiping my eyes.

"Ahh your as bad as Jack!" Bunny said shoving me lightly.

"Do not compare me to him, I'm much better!" I boasted sending a wink to Jack, who's face went from laughter to anger to confusion. He just started at me with his head tilted slightly to the left, his eyes never leaving me face. I giggled softly before skipping up the Sleigh.

"Oh Nick! Nick, Nick, Nick!" I said leaning on the side of the Sleigh looking in, trying to spot Nicks big body.

"What" Came a gruff answer from the back on the Sleigh, startling me so much I nearly fell of the step of the Sleigh.

"We leaving yet?" I asked bouncing on my tip toes back onto the step, i leaned and finally spotted Nick. He was sitting on the floor of the Sleigh fiddling with some wires.

"In a minute, your so impatient" Nick complained his eyebrows Notting together as he tried to concentrate on putting the wire into a small hole in the side of the Sleigh. It fitted perfectly. "Ahah! Gotcha!" Nick cried as the Sleigh came to life, rumbling loudly like a purring lion.

"Right everyone jump in, I'm going to take all of us out first, then Jack, Tooth and Lillia will fly out and into the town whilst myself, Bunny and Sandy will go to Pitch's lair."

"Okay, let's go!" We all jumped into the Sleigh, listening to Bunny moaning and complaining about how unsafe it was and how his tunnels were much safer and earlier. I just rolled my eyes.

"Man up Bunny" I smirked, he just glared. Nick hoped into the front seats and grabbed the reigns. The pure white Reindeers stood all in a row, shaking their magnificent heads and swishing their long tails, waiting for the commands of their master, North.

"Eh-Yah! Let's go let's go!" Nick wiped the reigns, sending the deers into action, they galloped down the room, pulling the Sleigh with their immaculate strength, and into a hole in the wall. We went in a straight for a bit, I started to wonder why Bunny was so nervous, he was literally quivering in his seat and holding onto the red leather. This wasn't so bad. That was what I thought until the Sleigh suddenly fell and fell fast. We were spiraling down a tunnel made of ice, dodging huge icicles that were sticking out, we were getting faster and faster. I was surprised the Reindeer hadn't slipped. I screamed a bit and hold firmly on the leather of the seat, terrified for my life. Bunny looked like he was about to throw up, Tooth just looked bored, like she had been through this a million times which she probably had, Sandy was waving his hands back and for with a large happy smile on his golden sandy face. And then there was Jack, he looked like he was having the time of his life, he had his hands in the air swinging his staff around and he was standing up leaning on the side of the Sleigh. His eyes were large and bright filled with happiness and fun, and his smile was large like the Cheshire cats. He did look kind of cute.
