Hallow (Jack Frost FF)

Chapter 2: Meeting the Guardians

~Jack’s POV~

    I flew back to North’s workshop to see the other Guardians there. They all look serious, “What’s going on?”

    “Manny’s chosen a new guardian. We were waiting for you so we can see who it is.” North spoke as he pointed to the moon. ‘A new guardian? It’s only been a year since I joined.’

    A moon beam hits a pedestal as it rises. It’s a girl, she looks like Zylia! I go to take a closer look. ‘Wow she is beautiful.’ “Jack do you know her?” I look at North then back at the I look at the sculpture more closely. ‘It’s definitely Zylia.’

    “I just met her before I came here. Her name is Zylia Dawn, Spirit of Halloween and also the Spirit of Autumn.” I look at North and the rest of the guardians.

    “Well, Bunny you know what you have to do!” North’s laugh rings out through the workshop. ‘I am NOT going to let them shove Zylia in that sack!’

    “Wait! Let me go talk to her! I can try and convince her to come here.” I look at each of them.

    “Why don’t we all go!” I mentally groan to myself. ‘I don’t think that Zylia is going to like this.’

~Zylia’s POV~

    I walk around the forest thinking what I am going to do for Halloween this year. Last year I made a giant haunted house, that was fun. ‘I don’t know what to do!’ I groan, my back hitting the tree. I slide down the tree, pulling my knees to my chest. I hide my face in my knees, sighing. ‘What am I supposed to do?!’

    I feel a chilly wind fly past me. I smile to myself, knowing who it is. I look up to see Jack, he’s looking over the frozen lake that we talked at. I get up, my bare feet barely making any noise in the soft grass. “What are you doing here Jack?” He spun around so fast, I swore he would’ve head whiplash.

    “Looking for you. I need to talk to you.” I tilt my head to the side slightly, ‘He wants to talk to me….? About what?’

    “What do you want to talk to me about?”

    “Well, you were chosen to becom- Bunny!”

    “Bunny?” I look at him confused. Suddenly I am stuffed into a sack. ‘What the heck?!’ Next thing I know, I hit a hard surface. I’m dumped onto the floor, I grunt as I hit the floor. I open my eyes to see what looked like a workshop. ‘Where am I?’ I look round to see Jack and four other people. Jack looked pretty mad as he walked over to me.

    “Are you okay?” He holds out his hand and I take it as he helps me off the ground. “I told them to let me talk to you before they tried anything.”

    “I’m fine. Where am I?"

        I hear a laugh, “You child, are at the North Pole, my workshop. You brought here to become a guardian! Cue the music!” ‘A guardian!? As if!’

        “STOP!” The music stops playing, “What makes you think I want to become a guardian?”

        “Of course you do! Cue the music!” The music plays again and I become irritated. I raise my hand and lightning and thunder strikes in the sky loudly. It scares everyone in the workshop and they all stare at me.

        “I am not a guardian, so you can cut the crap.” I rub towards the window and I jump out of the window.

        “Zylia! Wait!” I close my eyes and I let the wind carry me. I don’t care where it takes me, I just want to get away from here. I let the wind carry me for a couple hours until I hit a small town.

        I look around, lowering myself to the ground. ‘Why…?’ I look up at Manny, “Why me Manny?! Why!?” I sink to the ground, covering my face with my hands.

        “Look at that, Little Zylia afraid.” I look up, knowing that voice.

        “Come out of hiding Pitch!” He comes out from the shadows, smirking. “What do you want?”

        “I only want you dear Zylia. I want your powers, I want you to be by my side! We will be believed in!”

        I scoff, “Believed in?! More like they will be terrified of us! I rather die than give my powers up and stand by you!” A orange orb forms in my hand. I throw the orb at him and it turns into a cobweb, pinning him to the house behind him. I take off running towards the woods.

        I stop near a small pond, my breathing slightly heavy. “Did you really think you can get away from me that easily?” I spin around to come face to face with Pitch. I take a step back in surprise as he grins evilly at me. My breathing quickens, “Oh my, is Zylia actually scared of me?”

        I stare to walk backwards until my back hits a tree, Pitch walks towards me. He reaches out his towards me, “Don’t touch her!” My head snaps to the voice and I see Jack running towards us.

        “Jack!” I start to run towards him but my arm is grabbed by a hand. I look behind me to see Pitch, I start to whimper as his grip tightens.

        “Pitch! Leave her alone!” Jack aims his staff at him.

        “Oh Jack! Nice of you to join us!”

        “Let her go!” That makes Pitch grip my arm tighter causing me to cry out in pain. I start to struggle against his hold, but it only causes the pain to become worst. My eyes start to glow orange as a bright light surrounds me. Pitch gets blasted into a tree as I collapse onto the ground.

        “Zylia!” I look to see Jack run towards me before I let the darkness consume me.
