Rise of the Guardians 2: Mortal vs. Mori

Chapter 7: Making Dinner for the Guardians

"You can't be serious! You just injured yourself and now you want to make dinner." Jack snickered. (another thing you ought want to know about me... My father was from England. So sometime when I get mad, scared, or just certain words, I get a British accent.) I snapped back, "Well, you're the one that injured me, and I said I was fine." "Is that a British accent I just heard?" Bunny asked. I nodded. "Sorry, that happens if I get mad, get scared, or with just certain words."

"Hannah, just let the elves make dinner. They make really good cookies and hot chocolate." North embraced. "Is that the only thing they know how to make? And is that the only thing you eat? Wouldn't it be nice to have an actual meal?" I ask with and encouraging voice. "Well. I guess you can make dinner. What can you make?" he asked. " Whatever you want!" I responded.

"Then, I'll have spaghetti and meatballs, please." North said. "I'll have Shrimp on the Barbie, please." Bunny said. "I'll have a salad please." said Tooth. "Jack and Sandy, do you want anything?" I asked. Both shook their heads 'no'. "Oh ok. North, where's the kitchen?" I asked.

"Through that door." he pointed. When I walked in, I was in a moment if awe. "Holy crap, this kitchen is HUGE!" I said. I walked to the stove and began to search the cabinets. Surprisingly, North had everything I needed.

I found a pot for the spaghetti, a pan for the meatballs, and wooden rods for the Shrimp on the Barbie. I grabbed all the vegetables for the salad, the shrimp, the pasta, meat, seasonings, and ingredients to make a sauce. While I was doing that, the Guardians were talking.

"Dingo, go make some hot chocolate," North commanded, "and Phil, go make sure everything is going well in the kitchen." They sat in silence for a while until I came out with the food. "WOW! This looks amazing Hannah. And it smells great to. But how does it taste?" Bunny said. I feel like I'm on the show "Chopped". "My salad tastes fresh. Thanks Hannah!" Tooth exclaimed with a bright smile. "My spaghetti and meatballs tastes like my mother's old recipe. Thank you!" North said. "Shrimp on the Barbie never tasted this good." Bunny smiled.

"Hannah, aren't you going to eat?" Jack asked. "No, not right now. I think I'm going to practice shooting my bow and arrows outside." I said with a small smile. "Oh Hannah, I had the elves put your belongings in my spare room." North said pointing to the room. I nodded and walked off.

I grabbed my bow and arrows, and headed for the door. Sandy tugged the back of my shirt. He asked me where my coat was with his sand pictures. "I don't have one. But I'll be fine. I'm used to this kind of weather." I said, and I walked out the door.

So here I am, with a short sleeve shirt on, in the middle of winter, the day before Christmas and the day before I have to save the world. My arm was still in pain, but I wasn't bothered by it. I went back down to the little pond and used the trees as my targets.

I took an arrow from behind me and placed it on my bow. I pulled the string back and stood in silence for a bit until I released the arrow,hitting it perfectly in the middle of the tree. I shot a few more before the sky turned a shade of green, but this green was not the Northern Lights, it was Mori!
