Chapter 12

*Alyssa's POV*

I knew it. I was just a burden to everyone. Jack pretty much said it himself-and he was my brother! What did other people think of me?

But I didn't let it show. I walked back to the Oracles-Bunny was gone-and immediately pulled them into a circle. We all held hands, completing it, and they stared at me in confusion.

I closed my eyes and began thinking of a memory. "Think of the most powerful memory you have, good or bad. Let it sink into every part of your mind and take over every other thought."

My powerful memory was when Jack and I came back together. We were shocked at seeing each other and the only reason we knew we were related was by our similar looks and the Moon telling us.

They did what I asked, though a bit confused at to why. But I knew.

The circle was complete.

There were to be no more Oracles in the world, it was just us. We were finally together, and powerful things could happen when we were. This was why everyone respected and stayed on the good side of the Oracles.

My memory consumed me until, at the last second, I opened my eyes and saw a ball levitating in the middle of the circle. It was light blue and flickering. "Tracy, please."

It vanished as she opened her eyes. "I can't. I'm sorry, but it was too frightening the first time."

I nodded. "But I know that great things will come of us, if only we let them. As you said, let it come naturally and it won't hurt."

She nodded and we tried again. Again, it didn't work. "We'll try again later."

Tracy asked why I'd come back so soon. "Jack doesn't want to come back. He doesn't enjoy being held captive by Pitch, but he doesn't see any benefit to coming back."

I wanted to know why he was so protective of me. It couldn't just be that we were related, and I bet the answer was in my past. Something happened that I can't remember.

"What did he say?"

"That he wouldn't let me take his place. I know that Pitch is going to kill him though. I have to get him out of there."

"Please don't do anything rash." Moser said. "Think it through carefully before you decide what to do."

"I have. Now, I need to go find Pitch."

"I'll come with you." He offered.

"No thanks. I think I need to do this alone."

He mumbled something that sounded like, "I felt that way once."

"If you guys could go tell the Guardians, that'd be great. I'm sure you don't just want to sit around here."

They both nodded and I flew off, going to cause a ruckus and lure Pitch out. I stopped in the middle of nowhere and snow began falling. Jack must be helping me, but that's ridiculous. It must be Kariss.

When there was about an inch of snow on the ground (I can be patient!), it stopped. I stood and lifted just out of the snow and began spinning extremely fast, causing a snow tornado as I got higher and higher up. I blew ice into it and sent it off into the fields, but kept it away from any people.

"What are you doing?" Jack's voice startled me.

"Helping you, as I've always done."

"He's coming for you." His voice sounded angry and part regretful before it disappeared.
