Guardian [Watty's 2023]

[ C H A P T E R T E N ]

He looked at his reflection at the mirror and frowned. He's brown hair had was turning silver at the temples and his face was wrinkling at an alarming rate.
He was getting old and he dreaded it. Being alive for the last three  thousand six hundred and seventy five years now, he should be grateful he would be joining his dead relatives but he wasn't. No in fact he didn't wanted to which was why he needed to find Jack because was his final piece of living forever and Jack was now no where to be found.

The fact that Jack had disappeared infuriated him to no end. Jack the dimwit,  irresponsible  and childish over grown teenager had outsmarted him,  the genius and all powerful Hella.

"Just two more guardians left and he'd raise hell on earth." He thought. Jack first, cos only then would he be able to take on Ferr and then he'd rule Earth, bringing an end to the rule of guardians.

After all there was no mage born ad unborn who would be able to stop him. He was Hella, the god of destruction.

O'Reilly was glad to see Shirley Leroy and has been apologising ever since over the doctor's refusal to let her see him. Apparently the moment he woke he had put the doctor straight and had let him understand Shirley was to be let in matter what.

"Hey man forget it a'ight. It ain't your fault besides I'm glad that you're okay" Shirley said all ready tired with all the apologies She'd been getting every since she came visiting. First Phil Colin had apologised and now Sam. It was honestly irritating the shit out of her.

"Hey man, forget about it a'ight? It ain't your fault besides I'm glad you're okay" she starts to stand from her seat. She needed to report back to the precinct in twenty minutes and the drive from the hospital to the police station would take twelve to fifteen minutes.

"I'm gonna miss you Leroy, you know" Sam says suddenly somber. Shirley nodded . This was something she could relate to. In the couple of months She'd gotten to know him, she didn't know she'd miss him the day he'd no longer be her partner.

"Hey cheer up man, I won't leave for another three months besides its not as if I'm skipping town, we're still gon be seein' each other."

"It's still not the same Leroy. Still can't believe the feds offered you a job, you lucky woman"

Shirley hesitated at the door and smiled. "I sure am, ain't man enough about all this sappy talks. Gotta get back to the precinct. Chief wants me to see me. I'ma see ya later tho. Goodbye O'Reilly"

"A'ight, when are you gonna call me by my first name partner?" Sam asked.

"Never man, I'm gonna call you O'Reilly until you're a hundred and two. You don't look like a Sam to me" she said, laughing when Sam threw a paper cup at her direction. She ducked escaping through the open doors and Sam could hear her laughter echoing through the closed door.

"Asshole" Sam yells.

Hella kicked the good for nothing fool  white headed fool hard, causing him to wince from the pain. He coughed hard, vomiting blood.

"Who did you pass your powers to you worthless piece of shit" Hella said plowing  his fists  on  Jack's face again and again. "Who the hell's the new guardian, Jack." He spat out bitterly while punching Jack in the face again.

Without his ice powers, Jack was just an ordinary Magickal he had been before he had been made a guardian when he had saved  Maribelle, his younger sister's life.

Hella had just a month before the blood moon and he needed Jack's powers before then in order to defeat Ferr. He had wasted much time chasing after the stupid waste of space named Jack, precious time he would have used hunting down Jack's successor.

"Who the fuck is he Jack" Hell's punched him again. This time Jack's nose broke and he took great pleasure  in Jack's screams.

"That's enough Hella, we still need him" A distorted voice echoed inside  the cave. Hella almost jumped. He hadn't seen the owner of the voice appear but now he did, he couldn't help but feel afraid of the creature before him. The creature moved toward Hella and Jack like an evil apparition, his presence in the cave stuffing out the little light that remained as his aura was so strong that Jack couldn't help but gasp from fear.

The shadow flickers his hand and a tiny flame appears on his bony finger half illuminating his bony facial structure. He had large holes for eyes except they were covered with white film. His nose was half bent and crooked. He smiled at Jack, his tin lips drawn back showing his large  brown canines. His smile widening when he saw be sorry state of Jacques Fröst.

"How the mighty had fallen" he said his voice booming across the cave.

Jack recognising the owner of the voice began to struggle against his restraint. He knew what was about to happen to him and dreaded it. The monster before him meant to hurt him and would not stop until Jack was dead.

"Now old buddy" The creature started, his face inching closer to Jack's "Let's not beat about the bush, Show me the new guardian" He said pressing his finger to Jack's forehead.

Jack screamed in pain as he faced his greatest fear whilst his tormentor probed his memories. An evil smirk graced his  lips the moment he found out what he was looking for. He turns to Hella.

"Elsa" he cackled "He passed his powers to his month old daughter, find her"
