Demons: Rise of the Guardians fanfiction

Chapter 2

As they reach into the north pole, Ariadne jumped off the plane and head inside North's workshop. Inside, North and Bunny are already in a small argument as Tooth gives out orders to her faeries. Sandy tries to get their attention to see why they're arguing as she sighs in frustration

"North, Bunny. What seems to be the problem?"

North ignores Bunny's cries of protests as her turned his attention to her and Sandy.

"Ariadne, Sandy so glad you could come."

Sandy makes a bunch of quick pictures above his head and several question marks. 

"Yes I know, Sandy. But we still need to wait for Jack before I explain the matter.

"Jack? As in  Jack Frost?"

"Yes, he's our newest guardian."

Sandy creates a star above his head that's half colored in along with a question mark.

"Of course Sandy, we mustn't forget her."

"Her?"

Sandy tries to explain who she is, but his quick flashes of pictures doesn't make much sense to her.

"Umm...Sandy could you er slow down a little?..."

Sandy slowly and deliberately creates a sword then a moon then a yin and yang symbol.

"Her name's....Claire?"

"Whoooa! Jack please fly more steadily!" 

Ariadne looked up to see a white haired teen flying into North's workshop in great speed, carrying a girl in a long red coat. Despite his attempts to be gentle, he flies low enough to drop her gently before landing himself; however she stumbles and falls. As she gets up to brush herself off, Ariadne was able to get a proper good look at her. She wears a beautifully kept red coat over a nasty grey tore dress that reaches mostly just past her knees, her long silver hair reached to her waist and her bright blue eyes reminiscent that of Jacks. Her feet are bare and her skin is so pale, she looks as though she was half frozen. Quietly observing them both, Ariadne's metallic silver eyes showed a hint of curiosity as they greeted the other guardians.

"'Bout time the two of you got here." Exclaimed the annoyed rabbit. "What took you so long?"

Claire bows her head slightly. "Apologies, I was in the forest as usual so Jack had trouble finding me, may I ask what exactly this is about though?"

"Well," Explained North "I have received news from MiM that Pitch has returned."

Claire takes a small almost unnoticeable step back and grabs her jacket nervously, Sandy starts asking questions with various pictures, he seems to be asking when he came back and why.

"He's what?! But we took care of him 3 years ago!!" 

"Calm down kangaroo, I'm sure we can kick his ass again."

"Who the hell are you callin' a kangaroo, frostbite?!"

Claire clears her throat as Sandy wags a finger at them.

"boys fighting amongst ourselves solves nothing."

"He started it."

"Not my fault you're an easy target."

"What'd you say you popsicle?!"

"You heard me cotton tail."

"Why you little-!"

"That's enough you two." 

Ariadne steps between the two of them, giving them both calm and stern looks. "We have a major issue on our hands right now, would it kill the both of you to at least try to get along with one another?"

Jack stares at Ariadne with the look of love struck on his face, he'd never seen anyone like her before in his life. Claire notices the look he gives her and covers a giggle, surprised at the obviousness of his crush

"So what are we going to do about this?"

"Well apparently he has gained some help."

"Help? From who? The twins?"

North looks at Claire in surprise. "How do you know?"

Claire looks slightly embarrassed as she shrugs awkwardly. "Well they've been around for awhile, they usually work behind the scenes though so much isn't known about them...apparently I knew them back when I was... you know.. "

"I see, well MiM hasn't inform us of anything yet. So we must be on our guard."

Claire nods in agreement as does Sandy and Ariadne before she notices that Jack's been staring at her for a while.

"Uh are you okay?"

Jack snaps out of his daze and gets slightly embarrassed as a small pink tinge appears on his face "N-Nothing, it's just um...y-you have really pretty long black hair..."

Ariadne raises one of her eyebrow in slight bewilderment as Claire facepalms then tries to play it off.

"Um...thanks?"

"So.. are we just supposed to wait for Pitch to show himself?"

"Well we can go to this hideout and take him out, but the doorway hasn't opened since we last defeated him."

"Then we play the waiting game."

Ariadne nods in agreement as Jack walks up to her. 

"Jack Frost by the way."

"Ariadne."

"Ah, my name is Claire it's nice to meet you I suppose."

"Nice to meet you too."

"So Ariadne, um...how long have you been a guardian for?" Asks Jack.

Claire sighs and shakes her head slightly at Jack . "I suggest we set up a buddy system for now."

"That's a good Idea, I'll-"

"Go with me? I though you never asked." Jack interupts quickly.

Ariadne has a slight look of annoyance on her face as she looked at Jack "I didn't-"

"Well looks like we'll be spending a lot of time together."

Claire sighs "How about Ariadne, tooth and I stick together, then you, Sandy, Nick, and Bunny can pair up"

"No-"

"Sounds perfect. Thanks Claire."

"But-"

Jack groans a little in defeat as Ariadne heads to a different room with Claire and Tooth.
