When I was younger, my father told me stories of the adventure he had with Santa, Tooth Fairy, Sandman, Easter Bunny and Jack Frost. He said they had stopped the Boogie Man from spreading fear throughout the world. And I believed him. I believed in the Guardians and the magic such figures provided to a young child. I suppose that as I grew older the magic faded, as expected. I lost interest in the stories as I came to realise that I was no longer a child. I need to be an adult for the sake of my family. My sister Ciara needed caring for, dad was always busy, mum had left when I was ten and Ciara was a baby. I had always thought she had left because dad kept trying to push the story of the Guardians on me as fact and not fiction when I stopped believing in Jack Frost.
As a sixteen year old, I find myself losing my ability to believe, not just in the Guardians, but in myself. I need to find out who I am and what I’m supposed to do, or I’ll become a single blade of grass in a field of normal society, never to experience anything. As Santa himself asked me, “What is Belle Bennett’s centre?”
---A story of adventure, love, hopes, dreams, wonder and memories. From the views of Belle Bennett and Jack Frost. A Rise of the Guardians sequel---
Elysium was once a program but when she was only 4 years old her parents somehow were able to send her to the "real" world.... without having to pay the Frenchman.... one day she got ran over by a car stuffed into a trunk and "forced" to take the RED PILL while still unconscious.... Thomas A Anderson aka Neo becomes her "savior" of sorts and the only person she trusts out of the entire Nebuchadnezzar crew he was there for her when she awoke in the pod and through much of her journey through the Matrix for she would only go in when "ordered" if he was there.... before joining the crew she was a girl who never learned to swim and is claustrophobic so she relied on Neo for a LOT of things for he was the only person who could keep her calm....
As she moves throughout the Matrix Elysium learns more about her true self and that she can mimic the abilities of other programs (for example the twins)... after awhile Neo and Elysium start developing feelings for one another.... much to Trinity's dismay.... will they start acting on those emotions or ignore them completely and just stay friends?
