Rise of The Guardians Fanfic

Chapter 17- Five days -

Scarlet's Pov

Five days.

In five days I will be dead.

I just hoped that the other guardians find me before Pitch kills me.

It did make me wonder. What it was like to die.

I mean I did it once. What would one more time be like?

Would I feel pain? Would it be quick and peaceful?

Pitch hasn't came into my cell today. I wasn't sure if that was a good thing or a bad thing. I wondered if he was planning on different ways to harm me. I wondered if he was hurting Jack. I didn't know.

It was still for a minute. Nothing moved and neither did I. The air around me was still. Then. I felt a presence. It was familiar. Cold but soft. Desperate but calm.

I lifted my head. It came strong and fast.

I moved and my chains clinked and jingled. The presence was coming from the wall across from me.

I managed to reach the wall. I forced my strength into my arm and lifted it up. I touched it and I felt a connection.

"Jack?" I whispered.

The connection I felt hummed. 

I didn't know if he was there on the other side of the wall. I didn't know if this was another trick of Pitch's.

I sighed and I laid my head against the wall. My hair hung down and created a form of curtain around my face.

I felt it hum again and I closed my eyes and I felt a tear slip down my face.

"Jack. If it is you on the other side. I love you." I whispered.

I dropped my hand and sat in the corner.

I sat there for a while and I soon grew tired. I laid down and made my chains jingle. I sighed and I closed my eyes.

And for once my dreams were blank and plain. No nightmares. No terrors. Just complete silence.

Jack's Pov

Pitch entered the room and he was grinning.

"Oh what fun that was. Causing nightmares is so much fun." He said.

He looked over at Scar. She was asleep on her side.

"Hmm. I don't think I'll cause her nightmares tonight." He said.

He looked at me and I glared at him.

"You know. There's something different about you." He said.

He frowned as if in thought and then his face lit up.

"I know! You don't have your stick." He said.

I frowned and he said "Tell me Jack. Where is it?"

I sat in my spot and I said nothing.

Pitch grew annoyed and he said "If you don't tell me. I always have ways to make you talk."

I looked at him with confusion and he said "I can always hurt her."

He gestured to Scar.

"Hmm. You know what? That's a fantastic idea!" He chuckled and then yawned.

He stretched and he said "I will have to take a day to sleep to gather my energy."

Then he turned and left the room.

I looked over and I saw Scar open her eye. She sat up and hung her head.

I frowned sadly and I put my hand on the wall.

"Scar." I said sadly in my mind.

I was surprised when I saw her lift her head.

She slowly moved her broken body over to the wall I was at.

She put her hand on the wall. Right where my hand was.

"Jack?" She whispered.

"I'm here." I said.

She sighed and laid her head against the wall.

"Jack. If it is you on the other side. I love you." She whispered.

I smiled and said "I love you too."

She sighed and then dropped her eyes and laid down and I saw her fall back asleep.

I sighed and watched her sleep. She looked so peaceful and relaxed.

I heard many whispers and I looked out of my cell and I saw a golden strand of gold sand come in through a small crack.

Sandman!

I stood up and I walked over to the cell door. I reached out my hand and I tried to touch it. I could send a message to Sandy.

I was about to touch it when  it suddenly turned black. I retreated my hand and took a step back. Pitch stood there with a mad expression on his face.

"You guardians are really getting on my nerves." He growled.

Leo's Pov

Another tough day. The bullies were still at it. But ever since Scar died and became a guardian, they have been punished severely.

I was walking home and I turned a corner and stopped. Standing in front of me was a big monster. I took a step back when it took a step forward.

It held out a letter and I looked at it. I reached out with a shaky hand and I took it. The monster then flew into the sky and was gone. I frowned and looked at the letter. It had my name on the front of it and a black ink stamp on the back.

I rushed home and I said hi to my mom and dad. They are a little more happy now a days but after Scar had died, they had fallen into a pit of sadness. 

I went up to my room and I put my bag on my chair and sat on my bed. I opened the envelope and I unfolded the letter.

Dear Leo,

I have your lovely sister. She will be dead in five days.

Sincerely,

     The Boogie Man.

I dropped the letter and I stared at it for a few minutes.

I don't know what he would do to her. I was only scared when he had token me. I was told by the other guardians that when they saved me. That they had saved Scar.

I have brought it up with Scar but she'd either not talk about it or tears would form in her eyes and she'd say she had to leave.

Whatever he had done. It must have been pretty bad.

I shook my head and I went to my computer and I went to a site where I use to write my letters to Santa. I had typed a message to him telling him that I needed the guardians help. I added that it involved Scar. I clicked send and I shut off my computer.

I sighed and I went down stairs for supper.
