My Guardian

Chapter 27 - Pitch's Trauma

I know most of you are gonna skip this part anyway. But I would just like to say that I am soooooooooooo sorry it has taken so long to write and upload this! No excuses can express how sorry I am. But I did have a lot of school exams and after never having seen the movies, I've recently become obsessed with Harry Potter. But ANYWAY! I love all of you who were patient enough to wait for this and once again, I'm sorry it took so long! I love you all _______________________________________________________________________________

"Mum?" I heard a sleepy little voice say. I turned around and looked up the stairs. There stood seven year old Ciara in her adorable purple Hello Kitty pyjamas with fluffy slippers and messy hair to match. I just smiled at her. She rubbed her eyes and made her way down the stairs. Everyone had turned to see her.

"What's going on?" she asked.

"Ciara, sweetheart... This is about Belle..." Dad began, walking over to her. She just froze to the spot.

"Daddy, we've already lost Belle," she exclaimed, angrily throwing her fist down towards the floor.

"If you believe, and we mean truly believe... you will see her," North said. She shot everyone this questionable look.

It took a while of convincing, but eventually Ciara agreed to try to believe. I'm telling you now, that was the tightest hug I've ever received. She almost cut circulation off in my legs, causing me to almost fall down to her. She was crying happily as I held her close to my chest. She held me like that for longer than I could possibly know. I had missed her so much, but I could tell that she probably missed me more. When hugging a little kid, always be the last to let go.

Even if they hold you forever, don't let go until they do.

"How...?" Ciara asked, eventually letting go and wiping the tired, worn out tears from her eyes.

"I don't know," was all I could say as she and I shared a smile.

After staying there for another half hour, we decided that we should go. My family looked pretty exhausted. I promised to return soon. Mum held me back for a moment.

"Belle... there's something else you need to know about being Cupid. You can shape shift. When someone is in love with someone else, they get the feeling that they see them everywhere, and they do because Cupid shifts into that person. This makes them think about the one they love more," she explained.

"Shape shifting?" I asked extremely shocked and surprised.

"Yes."

"Can people see and touch me when I'm in someone else's form?"

"Yes they can, but when you turn back to the real you as you are now, no one will be able to," Mum added. Oh great. Perfect, just perfect. Now I could shape shift too!

The Guardians wanted to go back to their jobs of organising and looking after things. Tooth and Sandy were obviously going to be busy considering it was night, and Bunny and North were happy to go back to the Warren and Pole to continue whatever it is they do there. Jack though, wanted to take me somewhere.

"C'mon. Follow me," he smiled, holding my hand as he lifted himself off the ground. Weightlessness took over my body as I began floating into the air. This had to be one of the most amazing feelings. I guess this was like hang gliding. That's probably closest. Jack and I shared a smile before he led me off. Where he was leading me off to, I didn't quite know. But we did, in fact, fly over the lake, and past it. And then we just kept on flying. For about 45 minutes we flew.
