Rise of the medieval guardians Chapter 5: Jack’s answer

Jack looked down at Tooth and said “Well I would have to say yes as much as I hate wearing those dorky knight uniforms; it is the least I can do after saying those mean things to you, you didn’t deserve any of it you are a great person and it was wrong of me to judge you like that.”

Tooth smiled and said “Thank you Jack”. as she went over to him and hugged him Jack tried to resist the urge of running his fingers through her soft looking black hair and fighting the blood rushing into his cheeks as he hugged her back as she pulled away .Jack frowned wishing she would have stayed in his arms longer he did not know why but it felt right to have the Humming bird queen in his arms.

Unknown to the duo Aster watched from afar on top his horse with a scowl across his face while North and Sandy celebrated Jack’s acceptance into their guild. Aster mourned over it. Because he was in charge of training the new recruiters, and if the rumors about the boy being a master of disguise and pranks were true, it was going to hell.

As much he wanted to hate Jack right now  he couldn't. As he continued to watch Jack and Tooth a smile crept on his face .They were cute together he was not afraid to admit  that .It was good to see Tooth smile and joke around ever since Baby she hasn't been at all what she used to be . She used to greet her kingdom with enthusiasm and her bubbly personality with a wide joyful smile on her face, but now they were lucky enough for her to come out of her palace let alone smile she had become less active in her guardian duties and had started making her Baby Teeth collect the teeth from the children.

“We should head over there Mate we do not know when Pitch will show his ugly face again and we need to make it to King Manny by nightfall”.  Aster said with regret as much he enjoyed seeing Tooth so happy the fate of the children were more important.

North looked at him with shock and then said “What is big rush let the kids enjoy each other’s company Tooth will bring Jack to us we can go to my workshop and enjoy cookies yes”? Suddenly at that Moment North felt someone tug on his big red fur coat and then looked down and saw Sandy look up at him and form an image of kids having nightmares and him stopping them with his dreamsand.

North nodded he understood.

“Go on Sandy Bunny and I will meet you at the pole be careful on your way over nightmares come out more often at night they like the shadows”.

Sandy looked at North and nodded as he formed a cloud on his dreamsand. Sandy and flew away to go and give Dreams to the children of the world before Pitch could turn them into fearlings or part of his nightmare army.

Aster hated being ignored by North, North thought that just because he held a higher rank then Aster he could call all the shots Yes North was first in command and Aster was only second but they should not be eating cookies when the fate of the children were at stake sometimes he wondered if North even knew what he was doing Aster rolled his eyes at the word Wonder if North doesn’t stop fooling around their wasn’t going to be any much longer but Aster had his hope that things will turn out alright.

Suddenly as Tooth was hugging Jack she heard some rushing in the bushes and used her night vision to see past the bushes and frowned and walked away from Jack feeling disappointed their moment got interrupted when She saw Aster and the rest of the guardian knights she rolled her eyes North must have used his snow globe to try to find her But it must have been Aster’s idea he could be such a worry wart sometimes She giggled slightly remembering his scared expression when they rode in North’s sleigh.

Tooth could magnify her eyes to any size she wanted it helped her spot a child that needed their tooth collected it always helped when she was being followed Jack looked over at her with curiously as he saw the look of annoyance and suspicion riddling her beautiful face. She turned back to face him and rubbed her shoulders and looked over her shoulder a furious blizzard was starting through the forest making Tooth shiver she looked up at Jack who was only wearing his shirt vest and his brown towers with no shoes with shock and said “ A-rent you cold”?

Jack smirked and shook his head and said “Jack FROST remember, the cold does not get to me otherwise I would not be the protector in the snow”. He laughed when he saw Tooth blush with embarrassment at her mistake of course! How could she be so stupid? She let Jackson Overland stump her again. She felt that she wanted to get him back for that but then realized that she had completely forgiven him. She has not forgiven someone so quickly since Baby he was just too much fun to be with to stay mad at .She could not help but be memorized by how white his teeth were how did he keep his teeth so white?

Suddenly he stopped laughing and curled his lips to that lopsided smile Tooth looked at him and found herself smiling as well no matter how hard she tried to be tough and strong like she usually was she could not help but smile around him and looked up at his face she loved and looked into his autumn brown eyes his eyes were as brown as fallen leafs on a tree in autumn it comforted her even though he prided himself on winter he sure gave  people a warm feeling that she could not ignore she could not describe it it is like when he smiles at you your worries melt and all you want to do is go into the woods and throw a snowball.

 Jack pulled Tooth in a hug and rubbed her shoulders trying to keep her warm her armor did not help in cold weather she was used a much warmer climate She was not in her element and Jack must have known this because he stopped laughing gave her a concerned look and hugged her trying to warm her up. And said,

“.We should get back inside the blizzard is getting worse”.

Tooth blushed at as his cool breath touched her neck she shivered with pleasure Jack must have mistook this as discomfort from the cold because he held her tighter and then pulled her up bridal style so he could open the door into the cabin.

“Come my queen let me rescue you from this hazardous weather and into your thrown room “!  He said in a mocking tone Toothianna laughed as he opened the door and then set her down on the floor and said “Well How did I do would I make a good knight?”

Toothianna paused to think for a moment and then said “Yeah if you weren't so rebellious, rude and were able to comprehend good manners, and weren’t so sarcastic”. She said playfully

Jack smiled and then clutched his chest and then groaned and said “Ouch that hurt Tooth you really know how to make a guy weak at the knees”.

Suddenly they heard someone climb down the stairs Tooth and Jack turned around to see Michel look at them with his thumbs up Jack blushed and rolled his eyes while Tooth remained silent, wanting nothing more, than to kick his ass.

“Michel”!  Jack yelled with embarrassment He could not believe he had the nerve to tease him when she was standing right next to them is he an idiot, or just brave?

Michel just smiled and said” Iam just kidding around so how did it go”?

Jack and Tooth blushed and said “What do you mean”?

Michel looked at them incredulously and said “The talk, are you still mad at Jack or have you kissed and made up”?

Jack and Tooth looked into each other’s eyes both trying to fight the blush rising to their cheeks. Michel smiled and thought they are so digging each other and worst of all they do not even realize it.

“Jack you should start packing up because we are going to head out when the sunsets”. Tooth instructed as she walked up the stairs it was only when she started walking had Jack noticed how fluid her steps were she always walked like she was floating on air rather than centered on the ground. He looked up at her back not wanting to look lower because then he would probably be struck with the wide daggers he had seen her with earlier this morning. He marveled over her feathers what materials were they made out of? He recalled back when he hugged her how soft they were almost like running your fingers through the grass in the spring. It was soft yet rough and strong he understood why she dressed like that. It helped keep her warm in the winter. While other people bundle up, Jack just walks through the streets in his vest shirt and towers with his feet bare. He hated wearing shoes because he found them extremely uncomfortable especially when you get a pebble or something inside of them.

Jack was about to walk into the kitchen when something shiny caught his eye he looked around to make sure no one was watching and picked it up it appeared to be a locket he spotted a winder and wound the locket suddenly it began playing a song. Jack did not recognize he wondered who the locket belonged to he knew it was none of his business but he had to know.

He opened the locket it was a picture of a tall man with black hair and yellow eyes his hand was around a pretty girl with long black hair feeling a little intrusive he closed the locket and went into a the kitchen when he saw a shadow creep towards him. Jack quickly spun around in time to be hit with a hammer made of nightmare sand he slammed down on the hardwood floor a loud thud could be heard echoing through the small cabin.

“Jack it has been awhile, remember me? “Pitch taunted

Jack stands up and then growled, “Pitch what are you doing here”!

“Here to return a favor for the beating you gave me at Burgess”! Pitch yelled  

“Yeah and I will do it again in a heartbeat you stay away from me and Emma “! Jack yelled

“The offer is still on the table Jack we could make a good team”.

“Not even you paid me”! Jack roared as he ran over to Pitch to try and punch him, but Pitch turned into nightmare sand and slammed him annalist the wall repeatedly. Until blood started leaking from his teeth Jack closed his eyes and thought. So this is it?  

Jack smirked and though, it is not over yet! He caught Pitch’s hand before he could slam him against the wall, and while jumping up in the air he kicked him in the gut. He clutched on to his gut and groaned. It was his chance! Jack ran up the stairs and then grabbed his staff, he needed to defend himself somehow .Jack tried to keep his fear from showing because it will only make Pitch stronger.

Before he could enter the room, he was kicked down in the back and then grabbed by the throat. He shut his eyes and winched as Pitch suffocated him. He laughed darkly and said,

“What is wrong Jack I thought you were Burgess’s protector in the snow? How can you call yourself the protector, when you can’t even save yourself! You are weak. As he threw Jack on the ground near the stairs Jack was on his knees rubbing his throat and coughing then he turned towards Pitch and muttered, “I am not weak”.

Pitch walked around the room with his hands behind his back Jack glared at him as he looked over his shoulder and said,

“Then prove it show me just how powerful you are Jack show me you deserve your title why do you continue to save people anyway? They hate you Jack the people, do not care that you saved them. Because they think you are wasting your time trying to save a world that is already destroyed all that remains, is cold and Darkness”!

Before Jack could reply Pitch was slammed in the face with a boomerang Jack watched on his knees as the boomerang hit Pitch and then spun around towards the user, Jack tried to turn around but he felt a sharp pain through his neck and fell down on the ground again clutching his neck.

“I never thought I would see you like this mate “. As Jack squinted his eyes trying to see how threw the boomerang but all he could see was a tall shadow near the window it was too dark for him to see when suddenly the figure stepped into the light.

Jack managed to muster the courage to sit up and gasped with a smirk on his face “Bunny!”

Pitch groaned and sat up and laughed, “Well, Well if it isn’t the last Pooka how does it feel being the last of your tribe”?

Bunny did not do anything he just clenched his fist and glared at him his bright green eyes narrowed towards Pitch Jack could tell he was holding himself back from attacking Pitch because he bite down at his lip holding on to his boomerangs.

“Where are others”? Jack whispered towards Bunny, Bunny looked over at Jack with surprise because Jack was still on the ground Bunny did not respond he merely held out his hand and yanked Jack up forcefully Jack rubbed his arm and then smirked, you better watch out Pitch looks like he is pretty mad He thought.

“North is back at his workshop; Sandy is giving dreams to kids and Tooth I have not seen since your little tender moment on the porch”.  Bunny explained as he threw his boomerangs towards Pitch and cursed under his breath as they missed their target and flew back over to him. 

 Jack blushed and said” You saw that”! He said with embarrassment as he dogged Pitch’s nightmares but they circled back around Jack got into battle position and said “Bring it on!” The nightmare ran towards Jack. As the nightmare Charged, Jack walked over towards the wall and then turned sharply causing the nightmare to designate back into nightmare sand Pitch growled and then raised an arrow towards Jack Bunny watched on, worried for the boys fate Aster had a strong dislike for the boy but he did not deserve to die!

 Bunny slammed his fist against the wall and thought Iam sorry Jack I wish I could help but the arrow is moving too fast for me to use my boomerangs I might not be able to make it in time. Bunny turned away he could not watch he waited for the sound of Jack’s screams to echo through the walls but it never came Bunny turned around to see Tooth holding the arrow in front her she was covered in feathers head to toe and her wings were open and wide She clenched her teeth bravely Pitch gasped. Aster gasped as well and thought oh no not again instead of the tanned pink hand he usually held he was meet with large soft blue paws

The Moons gifts are a blessing and a curse they must deal with Aster and Tooth looked over at Jack his mouth wide with shock as he opened and closed it as if he wanted to say something but was unable to find the words because the sudden change in Aster and Tooth’s appearance even though he thought it suited her When he looked at Bunny he tried not to laugh Bunnymund was literally a giant Bunny but he knew that if he laughed he would probably get a boomerang in the face.

 “What is going on”?  Jack said out loud 

 Pitch laughed and said, “You mean they didn't tell you it great being a guardian knight but there’s a catch you need to get the powers from King Manny Moon to be a guardian knight and it only works at night or when he grants you to .If enough kids stop believing any of you the results could be for all of you but great for me because without hope wonder and dreams all there is fear”.

Jack did not know what to say he was frozen with shock for the first time in four months Jack was speechless .When he called Tooth’s friends a band of freaks he did not expect them to actually have weird abilities that only appear at night now he felt like the biggest asshole on the planet.

“What’s the matter Jack”? Tooth asked Jack looked up at her in awe she was facing near the window where the moonlight was hitting her now colorfully feathered body her wings moving faster than he could keep track off .She truly looked like a hummingbird queen now her crown had come part of her face her pink eyeshadow now glittered in the moonlight Jack would be lying if he said he didn't think Tooth was attractive.

Bunny coughed making Jack and Tooth to look over at him and blush Tooth threw the arrow back at Pitch, Pitch absorbed it  Jack, Tooth, and Bunny watched on as the arrow became Nightmare sand again.

Jack, Tooth and Bunnymund went back to back as a whole fleet of nightmares rose from underneath the ground and surrounded them Pitch laughed as the nightmares attacked them a nightmare approached Jack but Jack dogged, and then swung his staff like a baton it served around a couple of nightmares before it came back towards Jack. Bunnymund gasped and said “Not bad for a beginner but let me show you how it’s done!”

Jack ducked as a few nightmares tried to attack him near the head and then smirked and said “Is that a challenge Cottontail?”

Suddenly Pitch came up from behind and then smacked Jack down to the ground but before Pitch could attack again Jack rolled out the way and then used his staff to fight back as he swung it towards pitch but Pitch dogged out the way and raised his hammer towards Jack. Jack did a series of flips and got of the way of Pitch’s attacks. Pitch cursed under his breath as he raised his fingers up in the air and ordered a wave of nightmares to attack Jack.

Jack gasped and then looked around the room for anything he could use as a weapon his Shepard staff was not the best weapon. But before he could fine one the nightmares smacked him towards the wall and tied to enter inside his head, Jack squirmed his head flailing it around to try and keep the nightmares away but then a second wave pinned to the wall Jack looked over at Pitch as he floated over towards Jack and whispered “You were a good appoint Jack but not good enough any last words before you become my greatest weapon”.

  Jack coughed and gagged he glared at Pitch suddenly he looked up at the sky towards the moon and thought I hope you're happy King Manny because this is your entire fault! I did not want anything to do with this battle and now I'm going to die.

Suddenly the door opened to reveal Mrs.Bennet, Jamie,  Sophie, and Emma had coming back from their trip to the market the closest town takes three hours to get too on foot.  Since the bennets are too poor to get a cart or a horse they had to walk on foot they had left shortly after Jack and Tooth’s fight and had a three loaves of bread, cheese, and enough food to feed them a for a couple of weeks they had traded in all the deer, rabbits two squirrels Jack and Jamie had shot down before breakfast so they were able to buy the food.

Mrs.Bennet dropped her food with shock and said “My house!”  The Cabin was badly damaged the windows were broken, portraits were knocked over and futurature was broken or had several holes in them

never to be used again Mrs.Bennet looked over to see Jack against the wall suffocating Mrs. Bennet tried to see if anyone was here but she did not see anyone .

“Jack why did you destroy my house what is going on here”! She snapped

Jack gasped and then looked over at Tooth, Bunny, and Pitch and said “She can’t see you guys?”

Jamie gasped her mom may not be able to see it but Jamie did he saw a whole fleet of black horses pinning Jack towards the wall with a tall scary looking man hovering over Jack He smirked at Jamie  as he looked at Pitch with fear. Jack looked over at Jamie and said,

“It’s alright Jamie whatever you do, do not be afraid Pitch feeds off of fear you have to be brave for me okay everything is going to be okay”.

Pitch laughed and said “Lying to a child are we Jack you know very well how dare the situation is I Am sure you know what is going to happen you are going to become a nightmare just like your friend Michael did”.  

Suddenly someone walked down the stairs Jack gasped It was Michael but instead of the happy smile his friend usually held for Jack he gave Jack a hateful glare he had yellow eyes like Pitch and nightmare sand aurora around him his skin was grey and he looked at Jack like all his emotions were sucked out of him but hate and jealousy.

 Jack gasped
