Once Upon A December (Book 1)

Chapter 41-Jack

We all piled up in the sleigh, me sitting in the same spot as before, Manny and Tooth stay behind slightly, I tune back and smile at what I see, Tooth and Manny kissing like there was no tomorrow, I smile at the sight of my mother and father kissing once again, Tooth walks to us, me giving her a cheeky grin, only for her face to turn red, North goes to the reigns, readying for the flight, Jack stands and pulls out the bean "remember, no magic is in this realm, so whatever you do, don't use your magic and try to blend in". He says "says the snow haired boy" I joke, he smiles at me as everyone laughs, Jack jumps off the sleigh, I gasp and quickly look over the edge of the sleigh, only to see him land on his feet effortlessly "aw, you really do care" he teases, I roll my eyes "whatever" I reply as I sit back down, my eyes find Bunny's, his having a softness I've never seen before, I smile at him, he smiles back, but my eyes get torn from his as the sleigh rocks violently, Jack sits back down next to me, his eyes meeting mine. "HANG ON!" Jack yells, I instinctively hand onto his sweater, me feeling him chuckle as I burry my face into his chest, I didn't look up once, only because I've never traveled this way before, me refusing not to move until the sleigh stopped, and it did "Samantha" Jack whispers "you can let go now" he teases, I immediately let go to my face heating up and I take in my surroundings with wide eyes, we were in a forest, it being dense, filled with tall and strong trees that's showed they had been there for hundreds of years. "Wow" I say breathless and in awe, I only go to one tree, one close to the sleigh, I touch the bark gently with my finger tips, running my hand softly against the tree, my eyes wide "Samantha?" Jack asks "I'm in Narnia" I say ignoring his question, still looking around "I'm in Narnia" I giggle this time slightly "I'M IN NARNIA!" I yell as I run around like a little kid in a candy story, Jack grabs my shoulder gently and looks into my eyes "shh" he shushes, making me stop yelling. He goes to the bushes, I follow him with my curiosity, he points to a clearing, a dirt road visible in the sun, he then points to the guards and a drawbridge leading into a huge castle, my eyes stare at it in awe as the rest of the guardians join us, they too stare in awe "ok, I'll go in and tell them we're friendly, you guys stay here" he orders, but his voice not commanding "why?" I ask quietly, worry filling me "in case something goes wrong" he answers. I take the collar of his sweater and look him in the eye "you better make sure nothing wrong happens" I snap, but I genuinely meant it, he smiles and kisses me almost passionately, I melt into him, my hands loosening slightly, he separates and takes out a mask, putting it over my mom and tying it, then pulling my hoodie over my head, the cloak, along with the mask and good covered my entire... Feminine body, he smiles and places a sweet kiss on my forehead. I pull out a vile and hand it to him, he gives me a confused look "it will make you look normal" I tell him, he smiles and sips it, something sparkling over his body, telling me it worked, he then walks away, not like I was going to use them or my bow, but I make my own daggers appear and a sheather sitting on my hip in a rebel way, like what those guys in Star Wars did with their blasters, I sat there, Bunny right next to me along with Sandy, I watch as he walks into the clearing. Jack not being far or out of earshot "who goes there?" A guard asks "don't worry, I'm a friend of the Queen's" he says, immediately he sees his mistake "YOU'RE WITH THE QUEEN!" One yells in anger "take him inside, the royals will decide his fate" the other orders, they both take Jack by his arms, him giving them a big fight bjt it ws useless, once their hands grabbed him I tried running to him, only for Bunny to take mg waist and hold me back. His paw covering my mouth, it being too big for me to bite and free myself from his hold, my eyes glistened with tears, my arms flying forward as I tried to get to the one I cared for, before the guards pulled him out of sight he turn around and his eyes met mine, his filled with worry and almost sadness, mine meeting his with desperation and worry, he smiles as they pull him out of sight, I finally stopped fighting and dropped to the ground "we need to get him back" I say stifling a sob. "How?" Tooth asks "400 years of living in the same orphanage, you pick up a thing or two" I joke, but my voice was strong, making it seem like a statement other than a joke "we sneak in, and we need someone to distract those guards before we go in" I say as I look to Bunny, everyone's eyes going to him "why me?" He asks "come on, Bunny, you're the only one who can get around without using your feet, you can confuse them while I go around the back and knock them out" they all pale with that. "With a potion of course" I finish bringing out a rag and another vile, I hear the guardians sigh in relief "you guys don't know me at all" I joke, I feel their smiles on my back, but they separate to divise the plan, Bunny distracting the guards whike I came from behind, I did exactly as I said I would do, my hand covering the first guard's mouth, the smell of the potion filling his lung and immediately he feel to the ground unconscious, the guard turn to find his partner on the ground, only for him to join him with the slightest sight of me, only to find a hooded and masked figure, we all start running into the castle, leaving the guards behind, don't worry, we're coming Jack, I say on my head.
