The Past Can Haunt You
"It all happened 100 years ago." Tooth began and North brought out a snow glob, actually, it was more like a crystal ball with things inside it. That way, I could see what they saw. I didn't know North could do that. Then Tooth touches it and it springs to life, pictures of that day show and I watch intensely.
Two girls had just flown through the open roof of North Work shop. The first was easily recognisable, Lilly, but she seems different. Her wings were out and she was smiling. She looked so much brighter back then. What was so bad that she turned into what we see her as now?
The second girl however, had long blonde hair, whipping behind her as she flew on an eagle, well, a transparent one along side Lilly. In her hair, she had a grey butterfly like a clip. She wore a shirt that covered her upper chest, which was layers of black, white and yellow ovals. On the backs of her arms and legs, were spots. No, not pimple things, like leopard spots or cheers spots. She wore a short yellow, white and clack skirt, with a sword attached to her waist, via a black belt. And like Lilly, she had black flats on.
From what I'm seeing, I honestly find this girl beautiful. Her light blue eyes were pretty stunning. Who was this girl?
"North?" Lillyana calls out, cupping her hands to her mouth projecting the sound.
Soon, we could hear the footsteps of something big coming down the hall, "Lilly! Ami! So good to see you girls. Cookie?" He offers them a plate of assorted cookies, probably prepared by the elves.
"No thanks," the blonde, now known as Ami replied declining, whilst Lilly takes on with giant chocolate chips in it, holding it in her hand for later I guess. "We have something serious to discuss with the guardians, all of you."
Norths face falls as if her knows what's coming, but a smile returned to his face as if to cover it up. "I'll go get others, they're round here somewhere," he says going off down the hall. Lilly's wings disappear as soon as her feet touch the ground.
Tooth was the first to come, but she stopped as she got to the room, almsot scared.
"Do you think they'll say yes?" Ami asks Lilly in a hushed whisper.
"They have to, he's a threat to everyone, and that includes the children. They need to help us, we can't do it alone." Lilly sighs, grabbing Ami's hand reassuringly.
"I hope you're right. Actually, I think you are. Hey Tooth!" Tooth slowly emerges from her hiding place with a big, fake smile plastered on her face.
"Girls! It's so good to see you again!" She says hugging each on individually. "How have you been?" She asks the two. "I know the two hundred year celebration is coming up! Your birthdays and your anniversary of being friends on the same day."
They look at one another uneasily, "let's just say we've been better."
Then the final three, Bunny, Sandy and North enter the room, face looks on their faces as well. What's going on here? Do they know something that's going on?
"Great, now that everyone's here. we have something serious to tell you." Lilly begins before taking a deep breath, "Death's waging war tomorrow."
The guardians seems taken back by their statement, but not enough, like it wasn't new news to them.
"Oh dear..." Tooth mutters with a hand flying not to her mouth, but the senserity in voice told me otherwise. I don't think those girls see it.
"And that's why we've come to you." Ami steps forward, head held high, with courage and passion in her voice. These girls just don't see it. "We want you to fight with us. To help us defeat Death once and for all."
There guardians looked to one another with almost desperate eyes, begging one another to say something, anything.
Finally, North stepped forward and took a deep breath, "Ami, Lilly..." He begins but pauses to find the right words.
I can see it in the two girls eyes, they have so much hope, so much trust in the guardians. Lilly especially, you could see it, shining in those green eyes of hers.
But Ami, you could see there was doubt. deep down, she had her doubts about the guardians.
"We love you two so much, you're like the daughters I never had. We would love to help you...but we can't." North finally finished on.
You could literally see any hope Lilly had shatter into a thousand pieces, "what do you mean you can't?" She says in a weak voice.
Bunny stepped forward, "listen Lil's. We can't risk it." That didn't help the situation at all. All hope has disappeared out of both the girls, and you could see them trying to hold back how much this is hurting them.
"We need to be here, to protect the children. To ring them hopes, dreams, memories and wonder when that need it." Tooth continues, "if something were to happen to one of us, then the children would loose something vital that they need."
Ami seemed to snap. "BUT THE CHILDREN WILL BE IN DANGER IF HE WINS! EVERYONE AND EVERYTHING WILL BE AT DEATHS MERCY IF WE LOOSE. SO FIGHT WITH US GOD DAMN IT!" She shouts with the tears in her eyes, but she refused to let them fall.
"We can't, we're sorry." Tooth whispers
"if we taught together, we could have each other's backs! To
Make sure that no one dies! Can't you understand that?" Lilly shot back but everyone looked away.
Ami growled, and so did Lilly. "I can't believe you all." Ami says with poison in her tone, as she begins to walk away.
Lilly spreads her wings and follows her too. "I hate you." Was all she muttered before the Two took off into the sky.
