《Believe》A Prayer Answered
Advertisement
Claire trusted her hand out toward the Nightmare wave. The kids following suit. Just as the sand made contact with them... The black sand burst into various streams of golden dream sand.
"Whoa" Claire said in wonder. It was amazing watching the glittering sand swirl around them. Then, it became utter pandemonium. The surrounding Nightmares bucked and jumped as the dream sand made it's way past them. Pitch watched in horror as his precious Nightmares morphed back into the golden sand and made its way across town.
Tooth suddenly got a shocked look on her face. A second later, her wings began to flutter. With renewed strength and energy, she lifted off the ground. She sailed past the cheering children.
"Yeah, Tooth Fairy!, Whoaaa!" Cupcake yelled.
North's eyes widened, her straightened his back, and unsheathed his swords. He let out a triumphed chuckle.
"Whoa, yeah!" Monty encouraged.
"No!" Pitch commanded. "Get them!" He gave a signal and another wave of Nightmares came at the group. "Do your jobs!"
"Oh yeah, come on, come on!" Bunny urged, waiting to transformed. But, it didn't happen and he was pursued by a snarling Nightmare.
"Oh, Crikey!" He took off running, or hopping for that matter.
North threw two snow globes into the ground. An army of yetis and elves emerged and Claire smiled and laughed at the cavalry.
"No way!" Claude and Caleb said.
Bunny tried to scurry under a parked car in order to evade the attacking Nightmare. "I'm just a bunny!" He called as it managed to grab onto his tail. To it's misfortune, Bunny transformed back into his normal size as it pulled him out of his hiding spot. He whipped out his boomerangs as he hung upside down. "G'day, mate!" He kicked the Nightmare and flipped into the air while throwing his weapons that sliced through two more horses. They instantly turned to dust.
Bunnymund drummed his feet on the ground an army of sentinel eggs rose up out of earth. Caleb found himself on top of one as they joined the yetis and elves. "Whoa!" Caleb shouted.
"Come on!" Bunny called. "Woooohoooo!"
Claire watched this as The Guardians fought to protect her and children, but she wanted to protect them, even Bunny from harm, she is tired of being weak. With hope in her heart, she looked up to see Man in Moon over her in the sky.
"Please," Claire said while putting her hands together. "I know you only talk to spirits and guide them," Claire closes her eyes as tears comes running down her face. "But please, heed my prayer." Claire opens her eyes." Please give me the streangth to protect everyone!"
Then suddenly, Man in Moon shined his light on Claire as it covered her in a bright light, with her closing her eyes feeling the warmth that is spreading in her body. As the light faded, Claire was wearing a green dress with sleeves that goes to the elbows while the bottom of the dress goes down to her ankles, she was dark brown sandals on her feet, and on her back is brown bow, with a quiver of arrows.
Claire then hears a voice in her head.

'Awaken"
Claire's eyes snapped open to reveal a determine stare on her face.
Pitch watches the battle from a rooftop. He hears a 'thud' behind him, making him turn around to see it was Claire.
"My dear," He says with a gleeful smile. "I am so glad, you came to join me in my-" Before he could finish his sentence he was suddenly blown back. He got up to find out that it was Claire, who blown him away. He spots the bow in her hands and Claire's determined look.
Jack landed on the roof on the other side of Pitch, when he saw Claire, he was shocked to see her here with Pitch and when he saw her new outfit and a bow with a arrow aiming at Pitch, he quickly figured it out. The Man in Moon made Claire a Guardian. Jack smirked at her which got one back. They both faced Pitch and attacked.
Jack quickly sent out a streak of frost, disabling a few nightmares. When Claire's arrows came into contact with the sand, it lit up brighter and appeared to morph it into golden dream sand that floated harmlessly away in the shape of butterflies.
The guardians turned to the explosions of ice, snow and light to see the battle raging atop the surrounding buildings.Pitch charged at the Duo with attacks of his own. Claire and Jack leapt to adjacent roofs to avoid them and retaliate."All yours, mate," Bunny told North opening a rabbit hole for them.
Pitch made and let a Nightmare arrow fly..., But was deflected by Tooth as she flew in front of him. She then took out a few Nightmares of her own.
"Thanks Tooth!" Jack called.
Pitch launched a arrow at Claire. Unluckily for him, Bunnymund came flying out a nearby chimney and used a boomerang to destroy it. "Ho, ho, ho!" He yelled throwing his weapons. The Nightmares around Pitch exploded as the boomerangs ripped through them.
"Thanks, Bunny!" Claire smiled at him before taking off after Pitch.
Leaving a Bunny bewildered, that Claire is here fighting along side them.
"What!?, Sheila!?" Bunny yelled as he ran after her.
North shot out of a bunny hole, his swords at the ready, only to have landed on a roof some distance away from the Guardians.
"Hyah!" He hollered. Then, "Wrong roof."
The Guardians cautiously advanced toward Pitch.
"It's over Pitch!" Jack said. "There's no place to hide."
Pitch gave them a wry smile and quickly descended into the shadows. He cast multiple versions of himself along the alley walls. Pitch then snuck behind Claire as she was looking for him, with a giant scythe. Bunny saw him behind Claire and his face turned to horror.
"Sheila!" Bunny shouted in alarm. "Look out!"
Claire turned around and her face reflected horror as Pitch, brought his weapon on her.
Right before he got her, a golden whip wrapped itself around Pitch's hands. It pulled him through the air before he crashed hard in the ground. A funnel cloud of dream sand swirled in front of him. Slowly, the sand parted to reveal none other than Sandy. he gave Pitch a look before wagging his finger at him. It was like he was saying. "No, no, no." Then, he swiftly uppercutted him back in the air.

"Whoa!" the kids gasped. "The Sandman!" Sandy looked off to the side, where Jamie and his friends had gathered. He formed a dream sand hat and tipped the cap to Jamie. Gleefully, Jamie waved back to him. Everyone, including the kids, stood in admiration.
"Man, this so cool!"
"Yeah, alright!"
"Wahoo!"
"Wow!"
Sandy glanced back at the whip and tugged on it. Effectively, slamming Pitch into the ground knocking him out.
The Guardians began to welcome back their dear friend back.
"Welcome back, old friend!" North greeted.
Jack was a bit stunned. "Sandy."
"Sandy!" Claire cried running over to him and giving him a huge hug. Claire must've caught him off guard, because he floated there for a second before reassuringly patting her back. He was smiling when Claire pulled back. Then, he saw her in her new out, he looked to her looking confused probably wondering why Claire is in new clothes. Claire smiled at him before explain "Sandy, Manny made me a guardian like the rest of you." Sandy was shocked so was everyone else, especially Bunny for a moment, before he smiled really big and doing a mini dance, making Claire and everyone else laugh.
"Oh, Sandy," Tooth exclaimed. "You're alright!"
"Sandy, come here!" Bunny added.
"Yeah!" Jack got over his initial shock.
"Mate," Bunnymund. "You are a sight for sore eyes!"
Sandy floated into the air, shooting streams of dream sand in every direction.
A wisp of golden sand floated into a child's bedroom and touched his forehead while he slept. Abruptly, a dream sand figure formed above his head. It was the Tooth Fairy.Lights began to appear on the globe. Baby Tooth noticed this and perked up. Her tiny wings began to flutter. Other fairies began to fly. They shot down to the tooth boxes and began opening them. Kid's faces lit up with their memories as their boxes glowed.
Even more lights appeared.
Sophie peered out her bedroom window. She giggled watching as streams of dream sand danced along the Burgess skyline.
"Pretty!" She exclaimed.
A nightmare came barreling toward Cupcake. It screeched to a halt, inches from her face. She gently tapped the creature on the nose and it turned into a dream sand unicorn. She let out a excited giggle as she watched it prance around her.
A little distance away, a gigantic dream sand foot came down revealing a dinosaur. Everyone rejoiced as various creatures filled the sheets.
"Yeah!" Monty shouted.
Claire watched all of this in awe and happiness as the others began to have a snowball fight. She and the other defeated Pitch, got the Guardians to be believed in even Jack, she became a Guardian and save the children. She was happy.
North burst into laughter. "You're all on naughty list!" He made his own gigantic snowball. "Bunny, think fast!" North threw the snowball, and it smacked Bunny right in the face and he fell in the snow, because of how hard he got hit.
Claire giggled as she walked over. "Are you alright?" She inquired offering him, her hand.
"Peach, Sheila," he mumbled grabbing her hand, "Just... Peachy!" He laughed pulling Claire into the snow with him.
"Aw!" Claire cried in shock. She attempted to break her fall with her free hand. Her other one instinctively held tighter to Bunny's, like he was gonna save her. He's the one who did it.
The end result?
Claire landed on her back and a shocked Bunny was strewn on top of her.
They looked into each other eyes. Claire smiled up at him in kind. He slowly returned the smile, and Claire noticed his ears parked up and weren't lying flat on his head. Bunny started leaning as the same time as Claire. As their eyes slowly closed, their lips met in a gentle kiss, Claire wrapped her arms around Bunny's neck as he placed his paw on her cheek and gently rubbed his thumb on it. They pulled back and stared at each other with love in their eyes.
Their moment was interrupted, they heard a groan, they turn their heads to see Pitch standing up. Bunny grabbed Claire as he stood up and held her in his arms. There was no way, he was going to let her go with Pitch right in front of them.
"No," He glanced around to see the kids having the time of they're lives. No fear was in their eyes. Claire could see Pitch shaking with rage. "You dare have fun in my presence!" He practically screamed at them. The other Guardians took notice of him now. "I am the Boogeyman!, AND YOU WILL FEAR ME!" Pitch lunged at Jamie, who obliviously ran toward him. But, Jamie ran right through him, still laughing. "Nooooo!" Pitch yelled into the fading night. He gasped, realizing he no longer held any power over the children. Devastation clear on his face.
"No," He breathed out. Side by side, all of us, Guardians approached him. he turned and fled into the forest.
Pitch ran through the shadows in utter terror. He crashed through the trees of the forest, and out onto the ice of the ground. He peered over his shoulder to see if the Guardians were on his tail, when 'Wham!'. Pitch ran smack into North's chest. The force of the impact threw backwards and he slipped on the ice. It sounded like it hurt, when his butt impacted the frozen pond. He looked up to see North smiling down at him.
"Leaving the party so soon?" North asked.
"You didn't even say goodbye," Tooth added. She tossed him a coin and he caught it.
"A quarter?" He inquired. 'Bam!' Tooth's fist punched him square in the jaw. A single tooth skidded across the ice. She shook her hand.
"And that's for my fairies." She said satisfied.
"Tooth!" Claire said to her in awe. She got a friendly wink in response.
Pitch scowled at us. "You can't get rid of me!. Not forever!. There will always be fear!"
"So what?" North countered. "As long as one child believes, we will be here to fight fear!"
"That's right!" Claire said stepping up in front of the group. "Face it Pitch, nothing will destroy us as long as we stand together and fight as one." She glared at him with narrowed eyes. "We are not afraid."
