《Believe》Meeting the Guardians
Advertisement
It was nighttime in Burgess, Claire Evans was walking through the empty streets, she had a fun day, she and Jack started a snow fight with some kids, she left Jack early because she need to get ready for Easter. So she is walking with her hands in her pockets, and with her hood over her head. As she was walking, she spotted Jack in a alley, looking around, wondering he was there, she walked up to him.
"Jack?" Claire called to him, which he whipped around to face her. "What are you doing in a alley in the middle of a night?"
Before he could say anything, a voice spoke out.
"Hello, mates." We spun around to face the owner of the voice. Squinting in the dim light, as Bunnymund stepped out from the shadows.
Bunnymund spoke first. "Been a long time. Blizzard of '68' I believe? Easter Sunday, wasn't it?"
Claire felt herself blushed from hearing the ascent of the giant bunny.
"Bunny?, You're not still made about that, are you?" Jack inquired
"Yes" Bunny answered simply messing with one of his boomerangs. "But this is about something else." He glanced around the alley, calling, "Fellas."
Before either of them could react, two big hairy hands reached forward and lifted us off the ground. "Hey!" Jack protested while Claire just kicked the air.
"Durbfa wahla." one yeti said to the other attempting to position them in their grasps better.
"Put us down." Jack insisted. The yetis shoved them into a red sack.
Outside the bag, the first yeti took out a snow globe and smashed it on the ground saying "Durtal bardla burdlew!" A magic portal opening in front of the them. The yetis indicated that Bunny should go first saying, "Dward urghwetre."
"Me?!" Bunnymund pointed to himself. "Not on your nelly. See you back at the pole." And with that, Bunny stomped his big foot on the ground. A rabbit hole appeared and he jumped into it. Once it closed, the only sign it had ever been there was two pink flowers popping up.
"Bwardla arghl." a yeti said before tossing the two into the snow globe.
"Ahhhhh!" Both their voices echoed as they fell. The two yetis leapt in after them.
Tooth was running her business from North's fortress. "Tangiers! 421 rue de Barnet! Allez!" She sent a fairy to retrieve a tooth from that address.
Suddenly, a sack flew out of a portal and thudded onto the floor.
"They're here" North announced.
Two elves peaked into the bag and Jack opened the sack enough for him and Claire to look out.
"Walla walla, Washington, we've got a trampoline mishap at 1340 Ginger Lane." Tooth told a fairy. "Canine lateral and central incisor. Ouch!" The little fairy hurried away.
North cleared his throat. "Quiet." He looked right at Jack and Claire. "Hea, there is, Jack Frost, and you brought a friend." he indicated to Claire. Raising his arms, he welcomed the pair. Sandy made a snowflake out of dream sand appear above his head. Then he smiled and waved at Claire.

"Wow. You've got to be kidding me." Jack said The two yeti from earlier grabbed the duo again and pulled them upright. "Hea, hea. Whoa, put us down."
"I hope the yetis treated you well." North said.
"Oh, yeah." Jack replied, sarcastically. "We loved being shoved in a sack and being tossed through a magic portal."
"Oh good." North nodded not getting it. "That was my idea. Bunny entered the room and North said, "You know Bunny obviously."
"Obviously." Jack stated and Claire slapped him up the head, "OW!!, why do you have to hit so hard." Jack said glaring at Claire. Bunny snickered.
"And the Tooth Fairy." North made the introduction.
Before Jack could answer, Tooth glided toward him. "Hello, Jack." She greeted. "I've heard a lot about you and your teeth"
Jack put a hand to his mouth. "My... my what?"
Tooth leaned in way too close for him to be comfortable. "Open up." She said. "Are they really as white as they say?." She was very excited as she pried his mouth open. "Yes!" Tooth gasped. "Oh, they really do sparkle like freshly fallen snow." Some of her fairies began to flutter like butterflies around Jack's face, trying to get a look in mouth. "Girls, pull yourselves together. Let's not disgrace the uniform." She ordered them all back. Then she went to Claire, "What about you?"
"Sure" Claire said pulling her hood back and shaking her hair out, and opening her sky blue eyes. "Ok" and she opened her mouth.
Tooth and her fairies took a closer look at Claire's teeth, and was amazed. "Wow, they are nearly white as Jack's teeth." She drew back as Claire closed her mouth, and smiled at Tooth. "Good job."
"Thank you" Claire giggled. Off to the side, the yetis were flipping out. They waved their arms around them and pointed at Claire. "What's wrong?" She asked with a worried expression on her face.
"They are saying sorry. If they had known you were a girl, they would not have tossed you into the sack." North translated.
"It's ok, calm down." Claire told the yetis. "I forgive you." She smiled kindly at them. She turned around to face the Guardians, still with the smile on her smile. "It's ok."
"Listen Sheila." Bunnymund finally spoke up. "We're sorry for thinkin' you was a bloke. Honestly." His ears were down and it was so cute, it made Claire blush and giggled.
"It's fine." Claire said before walking up to Bunny and kissed him on the nose, making him blush hard. "You look cute with your ears down, by the way."
Bunny stood up and laughed while scratching behind his head. "Thanks Shelia." he said still looking at her.
Claire giggled at him. "Your welcome, Bunny" She smiled at him kindly, with him returning the look back at her.
"Not that this isn't fascinating." Jack broke in, breaking the trace that Claire and Bunny were in. "But anyone want to tell me, why I'm here?." Claire could hear the impatience in his voice as she remained standing by Bunny, who seems happy that she was next to him.

Sandy tried to answer by making numerous dream sand images. They were too vague and disappeared too quickly for them to understand him.
"That's not really helping." Jack told him. "But thanks, little man." To the others, he said, "I musta done something really bad to get you four together." He walked around the room, froze a elf and then turned to North. "Am I on the naughty list?"
North laughed so hard, his belly actually shook. "On the naughty list?, You hold the record!."
Claire looked to North. "What about me?" she said, kindly
North started laughing. "My dear, Claire. You are at the top of the nice list." he took a glance at Bunny, "And if I recall, you asked for a Bunny doll, that looks like Bunny, every year."
Bunny started to blush a little at that. It is not every day someone wants something that looks like you.
"No matter. We overlook. Now, we are wiping clean the slate." North said
"Why?" Claire said with a confused look.
"Good Question." Bunnymund stated.
"Why?" North repeated. "I'll you why." he turned to focus on Jack. "Because now, Jack Frost is a Guardian."
Few fairies brought Jack a Flower necklace, which he refused.
"What are you doing?" He pushed the fairies back. "Get off me."
Horns blared throughout the room and nearly scared Claire to death.
"This is the best part." North told Jack. An elf marching band entered the room while the yetis pushed Jack in the designated spot on the floor. The elves brought boot for Jack, but he refused them.
A yeti handed North, a thick old looking book. He blew off the dust and began searching for the right page. Jack slammed his staff on the floor. Frost and Wind blasted throughout the room. Everyone stopped as the torches blew out. Claire and the Guardians held confused and startled expressions.
"What makes you think, I want to be a Guardian?" Jack asked.
North looked at him and chuckled. "Of course, you do." He cues the elf band to start playing again. "Music!"
"No music!" Jack shouted. The band gave up, and with a huff one of the elves tossed his trumpet onto the ground and stomped of the room. "Look," Jack said to them. "This is all very flattering, but, ah, you don't want me. You're all hard work and deadlines, and I'm snowballs and fun times. I'm not a Guardian."
"That's exactly what I said!" Bunny agreed.
Tooth flew over to Jack. "Jack, I don't you understand what is it we do." They all looked at the massive Globe in the center of the room. "Each of those lights is a child." Tooth began.
North picked up the story. "A child who believes. and good or bad, naughty or nice, we protect them." Then, he added, "Tooth, fingers out of mouth."
Tooth had been examining Jack's mouth again. She couldn't help herself. "Oh, sorry. They're beautiful." She actually blushed and Claire gently poked Jack in the arm with her elbow.
North went on saying. "Okay, no more wishy-washy!, Pitch is out there doing, who knows what!"
"You mean the Boogeyman?" Jack snickered.
"Yes!" North exclaimed. "When Pitch threatens us, he threatens them as well." North pointed to all the tiny lights on the Globe. "Even young Claire." He pointed to said person.
"All the more reason to pick someone more qualified." Jack said staring to walk away.
Claire felt hurt that Jack would not even take the job to protect her, she started to tear up. She suddenly felt herself pulled into a furry chest. She looked up to see Bunny holding her, and he was glaring at Jack, who had not noticed Claire.
"Pick?" North sounded frustrated. "You think we pick?, No you were chosen, like we were all chosen!. By Man in Moon."
This caught both Jack and Claire's attention. "What?" They said
Jack asked, "But why wouldn't he tell me that himself?" He signed. "After three hundred years, this is his answer. To spend eternity like you guys, cooped up in some hideout, thinking of the new ways to bribe kids?. No, that's not for me. No offense."
Claire glared at him, along with Bunny.
"How's that not offensive?" Bunny sneered. You know what I think? I think we dodged a bullet. I mean, what's this clown know about bringing joy to children, anyway?"
"You ever hear of a snow day?. I know it's no hardboiled egg, but kids like I do." Jack said to Bunny
Bunny replied. "But none of them believe in you." He learned in toward Jack, and said softly, "Do they?, You see, you're invisible, mate. It's like you don't even exist."
Claire looked between Bunny and Jack, feeling suddenly scared at the moment.
"Bunny! Enough!!" Tooth flittered around.
Jack made it worse. "No, the kangaroo's right." Everyone, even the yetis, had looks of 'Oh, Crap'. Claire glared at Jack
Before Bunny could say anything. Claire got in front of him.
"Jack, He is not a Kangaroo!." She said, glaring at Jack
"Oh," Jack scoffed. "And this whole time I thought he was. If he is not a Kangaroo, what is he?"
"I'm a bunny," Bunny said getting right in Jack's face. "The Easter Bunny. People believe in me." By the expression on Jack's face, Claire knew Bunny hit a nerve. She thought it was wrong but, Jack deserved it for being rude.
Seeing the entire situation going downhill fast, Sandy patted North on the arm. North took the hint.
He stepped forward. "Jack" he said to said person. "Walk with me."

The Complete Alchemyst book 1
You've heard of superheroes, seen them flying across the sky, destroying great swaths of cities and ending countless innocent lives in order to defeat great evils and world-spanning threats and sell lots of sponsorships and merchandising opportunities. This is a story about the guy that is not those heroes. A supervillain in a world where making the right friends and political contacts is what separates the good guys from the bad. The Alchemyst is a story about a normal guy in a crazy world that spends his time trying to follow his dreams and conscience, working on new potions, thinking about girls, and lifting heavy shit, while trying to stay under the radar of the superheroes, supervillains, and governments that want what he can do. And occasionally turning them into makeshift melee weapons. If you enjoy The Boys, the Aberrant roleplaying game, Mystery Men, Trashy romances, Arnold Schwarzenegger movies, or SAW you may enjoy this book. Please note that this book has extremely graphic and sometimes gross fight scenes, heroes as villains, villains as heroes, opinionated and often politically incorrect characters, some graphic sex scenes, dad jokes, dirty jokes, realistic depictions of romance and flirting, bondage and dominance themes, and more than a few cuss words when they are really appropriate. This is NOT a superhero genre deconstruction. Many heroes truly are heroes, and they don't all need to be destroyed to make a good story, but it does look into the dark side of superpowers and the unreasonable and often contradictory demands placed on exceptional people.
