Jack's POV
"A - a - ah" an angelic voice said. I knew who that voice belonged to but it couldn't be, I must be hearing things.
Pitch tried to attack us again but another ray of light destroyed it before it could hit us. "Now, what did I just say?" the voice asked with amusement.
"Who are you? Show yourself!" Pitch exclaimed, obviously frustrated.
"Well I go by many names. Goddess, Legend, Myth. . . Spirit, Apollo, Muse. My personal favourite though, is. . . Guardian." When the voice finished, a shooting star came hurtling towards us. Everyone was staring at it in awe, then it landed in front of us with a loud thud, vibrating the ground underneath us.
When the light around it dimmed I could see a figure in a long, white cloak. I couldn't see who it was since their back was towards us. "My name is Stephanie Fray Muse, the guardian of adventure and Goddess of music. Miss me?" The person asked Pitch, a grin in her voice, as she pulled off the hood of her cloak. My eyes went wide when I realized who the person was.
She turned to face us with a playful smile on her face. Her hair was a dark brown like my staff with blue and silver strands in her bangs which went past her shoulders. Her skin was slightly tanned with a unique glow to it. Her face was exactly the same but her eyes were a lilac color with a dark purple around the iris causing stood out more than they used to. She was wearing a silver, glittery dress that stopped at her mid-thigh and a white cloak draped over her shoulders.
"Wow. . . You guys look terrible." She said. "No offence." She added. "No way." I heard little voices whisper. I turned around to see all the kids stirring at Stephanie in awe. " Who are you?" Aaron asked, his eyes still wide.
"Well, pup, I'm Apollo but you can call me Steph," she smiled sweetly at Aaron, then her features turn hard and she whipped around to Pitch walking slightly towards him. "But some creep in a dress, decided to shoot me in the stomach. Now I'm back to avenge my own death. Gotta say, that was a despicable thing to do to a person, I mean, geez, do you want to kill everyone you meet?"
Pitch seemed to snap out of his state of shock and put on a evil grin. "More or less."
"And yet, you wonder why no one believes in you. Maybe if you were actually a decent person then kids might believe." Stephanie commented.
"You are respected if you act like me." Pitch stated.
Steph's Pov
"No, that's where you are wrong, Pitch." I spat. "People fearyou if you act the way you do." I let a little sadness flow into my tone. I felt sorry for Pitch, he was like the guy in movies who goes crazy from loneliness.
"Don't pity me, child!" Pitch roared. I smiled at him, as innocent as I could while rocky back and forth on my heels. "Why, who said I was pitying you? You brought this on yourself, Pitch. Some people say that everybody can change, but if you think about it, when it comes to people like you, there is just no hope." I stated.
"Well this... Reunion, was lovely but lets get down to business shall we?" Pitch asked, showing his yellow teeth.
"We shall." I answer. I gave a little whistle and before I could blink, Ice was one my shoulder in eagle form. "You ready?" I asked her. She gave a nod and we both turn back to facing Pitch who was making an extreme amount of Nightmares. " Attack 17. The one we made in 1789." I said , before she could reply, Pitch let out a battle cry causing the hundreds of Nightmares to charge at us.
Ice flew off of my shoulder and onto the ground next to me. I slowly crouched into a ball on the floor while Ice spread out her large wings and wrapped them around herself.
Then the well we had made in our crouch position started to glow a lilac colour.
"Hold it." I said under my breath as I kept my eyes locked on the Nightmares racing towards us. "Hold it."
Just a few more seconds. I closed my eyes tight and waited for the light of the street lamps to disappear from behind my closed eye lids. 3... 2... 1... "NOW!" I yelled as I stood up straight as fast as I could and spread my arms out as Ice spread out her wings.
The lilac light started to shine all around us and burn or explode the Nightmares. When I felt the power dim, I slowly opened my eyes and saw that there were only 9 Nightmares left. I felt Ice advance towards their still and frightened for from beside me but I put my arm out in front of her to stop her attack. I gave Ice a smile and then turned towards the remaining Nightmares.
Like when Jack blows onto a snowball to make kids have fun, I have a power of my own similar to it.
I smiled at them and sang a high note. While I was singing I watched as the lilac mist came from my mouth and consumed the nightmares. When I stopped, I watched as the mist faded away and saw that 8 of the9 Nightmares turned into lilac colored unicorns. I know, girly, right? But unicorns are known for bringing luck to travelers.
I smiled as they galloped off to wherever they were going. I turned to the 9th one to see it has lilac skin but still had black sand patches. I slowly walked over to where it was cowering and placed a gentle hand on its head. He must have been very strong to not transform completely.
"You are a special one. I have a great role for you to play." I whispered to it and placed a soft kiss on its head. Stepping back, I watched as it glowed. When it dimmed down again, a giant, strong unicorn stood proud. It's lilac skin shone a silvery color and it's hair and tail were lilac with golden strips in.
"My, aren't you hansom. I'm gonna call you... Primaro which means' the protector'." I laughed as it nuzzled into my side.
"WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!" I heard somebody shout. I turned to see Pitch weakly stand up. "YOU DESTROYED EVERYTHING! "
Before I could blink, Pitch throw black sand knives a me. Just before they hit me a blue light flew past and hit them to the ground. When I looked at them on the ground, I saw that thy where covered in a thick layer of ice.
"Stay away from her, Pitch!" I heard him shout. Jack. I turned around to the guardians and saw that they where all standing with power radiating off of them.
"Wow." I whispered. "I will never get used to seeing them like that."
Just as Pitch was about speak, a blinding light shine from the moon and hit the ground in front of Pitch. The light suddenly disappeared leaving 3 figures standing. Manny and my parents.
"Pitch, old friend, you have caused many problems. 25 years ago I gave you one final warning but you have chosen to ignore it. With the power invested in me, I send you to the Oblivion for the next hundred years. You have gotten off lucky, anyone else would have sent you for a millennium." Manny spoke with power, then he clicked his fingers causing a tornado to consume Pitch. All you could hear was his screams of protest the nothing and the tornado disappeared.
I walked over to them and thy all enveloped me into a big bear hug, nothing compared to Norths though. "Honey, I have a gift for you." My mother said. Before I could ask what, she put her hands on my head and stroked my hair down to my waist. When she let go, I gasped while I looked at my hair to see it had been turned into a lilac color. It had been parted in the middle and my bangs were a golden color. My mother grabbed the two pieces of hold and clipped the, loosely at the back of my head. "There." she smiled at me. I grinned back and hugged her. "Now your ready to see that lovely boy of yours." she whispered.
She let go and I turned my attention to the guardians. They were all smiling at me. I spread my arms out and took on step forward. I couldn't take anymore because after that I was engulfed in hugs by Ice, North, Bunny, Sandy and Tooth, even the children.
"You're alive!" They all shouted, well the guardians did. I laughed at them and hugged them back. After a few minutes we pulled away and grinned at each other. My grin dropped when I didn't see Jack. I walked around them to see Jack standing there with a unreadable face.
I threw my cloak on the floor after taking it off and walked over to Jack. His eyes followed my every movement as he leaned in his staff.
"Jack?" I asked when I 1 foot in front of him.
"This isn't real." was all he said.
"What isn't real, Jack?" I asked with concern in my tone. I placed my warm hand on his cold cheek. I smiled softly when I felt him lean into my hand.
" I was right there when you died. I could have saved you. I could have..." he took a deep breath as his voice crack. " I could have stopped him from killing the girl I love. I thought I lost you, Stephanie." he croaked. I watched a single tear rolled down his cheek. It froze next to my thumb so I carefully whipped it away.
"I love you, Jack. And I promise with everything I have, I will never, and I mean never, leave you again. I love you." I then kissed him, with everything I had and he responded right away. The kiss was soft and gentle as I wrapped my arms around his neck but when he tugged my waist closer it became more needy and hungry. I tugged on the hair at the back of his neck when his tongue flicked out and traced along my bottom lip. Before I could open up for him, something cold hit the back of my head. I gasped and pulled away from Jack.
I turned around to see Bunny laughing his head off with some snow stuck to the fur of his left paw. I slowly crouched down and scooped up a ball of snow.
"You're so going to pay, Kangaroo. " I smirked, stand up straight. Bunny's laughing died down but before he could run, I hurdled the snowball at his head.
Man, it's good to be back.
