Rise of the Guardian and Protectors [ON HIATUS & EDITING]

The Final Battle Begins

Chapter 39

*Sandy P.O.V.*

I and Tooth met the guardians and they were all surprised except maybe for Jack because he's expecting us somehow. We all knew of the burning of Burgess so Jack and I went to rescue. Jack made slight snow enough for the fire to be gone. The frustatrated people were calmed by me through genuinely giving them sleep and hope through their dreams outside the remains of their houses.

"Is Nefaria really can be trusted? You know. After all of this?" Jack gestured to the burnt houses.

I nodded. I know Nefaria can have a soft spot for people especially that she knew of how she was victimed by Pitch and overruled. She has no one else to turn to, not even her very own mother. Gothel for sure does not believe that Nefaria is still the child she once knew.

Jack sighed. "Fine. Let's go back. We're suppose to know the plans as well."

Just as we turned around, two black horses, nightmares, blocked our way. And a few more came to surround us completely.

Ahg. My dear cousins, eh?

Shut up, Mansnoozie. One of them scowled.

JACK FROST... Hmhmhm. Did you get my package earlier?

"Pitch. You scum, show yourself!"

"Ha!" Pitch appeared in front of us with Gothel, who now possesses the same abilities as him. "Nefaria did good on persuading you to come here." He smirked.

"What?!" Jack glared.

"Oh there's nothing to be afraid of honey. Except maybe.... your FEAR." Gothel pulled someone behind her. It was Jamie, Jack's best pal and the first ever.

"No. I thought this happens tomorrow!" Jack shouted.

"Oh please. Why wait for tomorrow when I can use this moment perfectly to destroy your head and your feelings even more?"

You lay a finger on him, you'll all be nothing but an urn for your dead body.

"Sandy! You're alive!" Jamie shouted. I half-smiled at him.

"Pitch, whatever you hate of me, let Jamie out of this!" Jack begged.

"And why would I? He was the reason you were stronger than I. Plus," Pitch looked at Sandy. "...he reincarnated Sandman. TWICE! He should be.... eliminated."

"NO!" NO!

"No? Hmm." Pitch grabbed Jamie and looked unto him. "He's of no use in the looks of me. What can he do?" Pitch smirked on the both of us. I sensed a trade. No way would Jack accept this.

"He's not yours. Jamie belongs to himself. Let him go."

Pitch laughed like we were some poor people scavenging for food. "I've got a better idea! Jack. You take Jamie, and little Rapunzel remains with me, forever. Or the other way around. I'll eliminate Jamie and Rapunzel is all yours unharmed. Sounds like it?"

Sighs. No, Jack. He's a trickster. None of those words would come true. He wants you to grow weak!

"Jack, take Rapunzel. You need her more than I. Please, Jack." Jamie cried. "I'll sacrifice if I have to."

"No, Jamie. Both you and Rapunzel should be safe."

"By five minutes, you shall give us your answer, Frost." Gothel sneered.

You little witch, you don't belong to this war.

"Rapunzel is a protector. Not only you will need her but the world too. Me, only my family does and the Guardians." Jamie explained.
