The Blue-eyed Redhead (JaRida AU)

Chapter 18- Meet the Guardians.

(A/N: Before you read this chapter please read the Prologue first because I deleted the part where Jack will blackmail her it's because I forgot what was the other reason aside from him founding out her secret why he'll blackmail her! I know some of you think I'm stupid and you know what, I agree with you. I'm sorry, but I hope you like this chapter tho).

Silence enveloped them. Merida dropped her gaze on the ground.

"Come with me" Jack said and pulled her again upstairs into his bedroom.

"Sit." He commanded and pointed at his messy bed.

She sat down quietly, Jack went to his window and looked outside before he closed his curtains then he went out of his room.

Merida roamed her eyes, his bedroom consisted of the colors light blue, white and dark blue. His bed sheet and pillowcase is navy blue and a white comforter.

Posters of different bands were posted on the left side of the wall then there's a bedside table next to her then there's a bookshelf next to the door, a study table with his laptop, and his wardrobe.

He went back a few minutes after. His face was serious and he kinda still has that pissed aura from earlier. He sat next to her on the bed.

"Hey."

Merida didn't respond she's just staring of to space. Jack tapped her on her shoulder a couple of times, still she didn't react.

"Merida. Hey!" Jack called. Her name felt different when he said it.

"Just let me out. Now" Merida whispered not looking at him.
"Look Mer, I just want to ask you something. About Pitch Black" Jack said.

Merida shook her head then stood up and so did he. Merida looked him in the eye, her eyes looked dull.

"I won't tell you anything about that devil... Goodbye" She said like a robot.

Jack held both of her hands and forced her to sit on his bed again. He kneeled in front of her and stared into her big eyes again.

"I won't let you leave until you answer some of my questions"

"No! I won't answer and that's final! I can't tell you. You wouldn't understand, you're not one of us"

His eyebrows met in confusion. Us? What does she mean by 'one of us'?

"What 'us', Merida? What do you mean by 'us'? Are you saying that there are others besides you who knows about Pitch? Tell me!" He asked desperately.

'Why is he did sound so desperate? Does he know about Pitch?'

"I-I can't tell. It will would be difficult for you to understand and besides... You might not believe me" She said, now looking at him.

"How do you know when you haven't told me? Merida, if you would just tell me maybe I would understand" He pleaded.

"..."

He sighed and let go of her hands. He'll just wait for the others to come and do the explaining. He was about to go out of his room to call them again but she said something to him that made him stop his tracks.

"Do you... Do you know something about Pitch?" She asked.

"... What if I said yes?" He asked back.

She stood up and spun him around so they were now face-to-face, she looked at him directly in the eye.

"What do you know about him? And what are you?" She asked again.

"Before I answer, answer my question first: who are the others besides you? What did you mean by 'us'?"
