Jacks POV

My head hurts alittle bit, but it's familiar.  I was transported, apparently in North's Workshop.  Only because all of the other Guardians surrounded me, with wide eyes.

"He never stops gettin' inta trouble, eh mate." I heard Rabbit mumble under his breath turning away.  I scowl at him and get up.  They all back up, but don't break the ring they made around me.

"Uhm, are you guys going to explain to me why I'm here? Or are you just going to stand there catching flies?" I say after what seems like an eternity of silence.  I have stuff to do, I'm always on their schedule; I make sure they know they're an inconvienience for me.

"Oh, but Jack!" Tooth speaks up, really quickly. "You're doing something kind of," she places her hands next to her mouth and whispers, "Illegal."

"Illegal?  I didn't do anything wrong AND we don't have laws."  They stop, look at eachother, and start laughing.  This just is making me frustrated, I have things to do.

"Well of course we do, Jack!" North says, stiffling laughter.  I just shoot him a dirty look and he stops and becomes serious again.

"Jack, you arent't allowed helping out (f/n)."  I shoot him a doubtful look, "Yeah okay, North.  You've had too much cocoa." I smirk, but he doesn't find it funny.

"Jack, there's consequences in these types of situations."   I will not reply.  He sighs.

"When you teach a new arrival, it can be.. not very fun."  I huff, clutching my staff. 

"They become too dependent, they can't do anything on their own."  It's not like she needs my help, she's a natural.  I continueto ignore North, not cause I was mad, but just cause it's making him mad.

"Listen to me, Jack!" I notice the urgency in his voice, and I decide to turn around and listen proplerly.

"It quickly developes into a parasidic relationship." I give him a blank look, I have no clue what he's talking about.  He throws his hands up in the air and huffs.

"It means, she's going to act like a parasite, and you will be the host!"   I widen my eyes, I didn't know that, "But what would she take from me?"  The room goes silent, you can't hear the slightest thing.

"Your belief." He says, looking down at his feet.

"What do you mean?" I ask, extremely concerned.

"She'll feed off of the belief of YOUR believers Jack.  She'll literally suck up all of it, to where you're powerless.  But she changes, they always change."

"Well, how do I stop it!" I unintentionally yell.

"You stay away, until she can get her own personal believers.  She can't use the past Mother Natures believers unfortunately.  But by law, we must stay away  from a newly born."

"But for how long?" I hiss through my teeth.

He looks at me with sad eyes, "Exactly one century."

I widen my eyes and squeeze them shut.  A whole century, no wonder they tried to stay away from me for when I was Risen.
