Chapter Five: Discovering Lies

Lemiel walked slowly through a dark cave made of ice. He walked by the light of a small flame he held in his hand. He had traveled far to get to where he was. North's snow globe had thrown him deep into the Amazon Rainforest. There he magically cloaked himself to ensure he wouldn't he found. He had finally made it to the South Pole where it had taken him days to locate the cave he was in. He had finally found it buried far below an iceberg under the water. But, now he was almost to his goal.

He turned his final corner and walked into a large room within the cave. In the middle stood an eight foot tall, four foot wide, jagged piece of deep purple and black ice. He walked up to the jagged piece of ice and kneeled before it. He then drew his sword and placed the blade in his palm and quickly cut the length of his palm. Blood began to flow from his cut and on to the floor. When his blood hit the ground the jagged piece of ice began to glow and drew the blood into itself.

The dark silhouette of a tall and muscular man appeared within the ice. No features were visible except for the glowing blood red eyes that were now open. A deep and ominous male voice began to speak from the ice.

"Lemiel, you have finally returned."

"Yes, Master, Ember had me trapped inside of an amulet. But when all the guardians were together, I felt a rush of power and I was able to break free. There are new guardians now though." Lemiel explained to the man in the ice as he bowed his head.

"Yes, The Man in the Moon chose new Elements. He also chose Jack Frost as the final Guardian of Childhood."

"That explains, the annoying Frost boy. Who are the new Elements, master? The Water Guardian is a seer. We need her power. I must know as much as possible about them all to carry out my plans."

The ominous voice let out a slight chuckle. "Oh, there is much you need to know about them. Especially, The Water Guardian."

Jack awoke the next morning smiling brightly when he saw Arianna's sleeping form still cuddled up to him with his arms around her. He was facing her with one arm under her neck and head and his other arm wrapped around her waist. She had one arm drawn up to her chest and her other arm rested underneath Jack's arm and draped over his waist. Jack carefully moved his arm from around her waist and brought his hand up to lightly stroke her cheek with the backs of his fingers. She began to stir and her eyes fluttered open to Jack's smiling face. She lovingly returned his smile.

"Good morning, beautiful." Jack said.

Arianna's smile then turned mischievous. Quickly she sat up and pushed Jack onto his back and pinning his arms above his head with her hands. She then put herself on top of him straddling his waist.

"Good morning." She said and then crushed her lips to his.

Jack immediately responded to her lips on his. They could both feel the heat building between them again. Arianna slowly moved her hands from Jack's arms to each side of his face. Jack took the opportunity to place his hands on her shoulders, running his tongue along her lips and gaining access as he did. Jack slowly started to run his hands down Arianna's body. Down her back, to her waist, to the curve of her butt where he took the time to massage the cheeks, then down her bent legs to her ankles. He then started the journey back up her body, stopping at her waist.

He flipped their bodies to where he was on top of her. Arianna quickly wrapped her legs around his waist and pulled him even closer to her. She felt Jack's bulge in his pants press into her most private area when she did. She suddenly knew exactly what she wanted.

And then suddenly her bedroom door burst open and in walked Liam and Helios.

"Rise and- WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON!? MY EYES!" Helios screamed while shielding his eyes as he realized Arianna and Jack's intertwined forms laying on the bed.

Arianna and Jack quickly flung themselves to opposite ends of the bed. Both of their faces a deep red.

Liam, thinking the whole scene hilarious was leaning against the wall doubled over with laughter.

Arianna, anger now replacing her embarrassment, jumped up from her bed and stood with her arms crossed over her chest. "What, do neither of you Jack Asses know how to knock on a damn door?" She angrily demanded.

Hearing the anger in Arianna's voice, Liam quickly stiffled his laughter and composed himself. "Yeah, um, we're really sorry. In our defense though, it's not like you've ever, um, had a sleepover before." He said.

"Yeah how were we to know you and Jack…..did whatever you did….what exactly did you do?" Helios said, glaring at Jack as he asked his question.

Arianna stepped into Helios' view. Her hands were on her hips now and she was visibly very angry. "Not that it's any of your business whatsoever, but, THAT didn't happen and no, I will not tell you what actually did happen. I am, however, going to let the both of you leave my room without anything further."

"But Arian…." Helios started.

"Now!" Arianna pointed to the door.

Helios hung his head and mumbled a half hearted apology as he walked out of the room.

"Sorry for the intrusion." Liam said to Jack. He then turned to Arianna. "I really am sorry, Arianna. Ember and North would like to speak with all of us in half a hour in the globe room."

After that Liam quickly made his way out of the room as well, making sure to close the door behind him.

Arianna stared at the door with her hands still on her hips trying to calm herself down. She didn't hear Jack get up from the bed and make his way over to her. She didn't even realize he was beside her until he was standing in front of her. She relaxed slightly at the sight of him and let her hands fall to her sides. Jack placed his hands on her hips and pulled her close to him. She encircled her arms around his neck as he leaned in to kiss her.

"I'm sorry, Jack." She said as she broke the kiss and rested her head in the crook of his neck.

Jack laughed. "It's okay. I'm used to them showing up by now."

Arianna pulled away from him just enough to look at him. "Well, it shouldn't be like that. They need to respect that we want alone time. Liam knows how I feel about you."

"Does he now?" Jack smirked playfully at her.

Arianna blushed. "Um, yeah, he kinda guessed."

Jack kissed her. "They are just being protective of you in their own weird way."

Arianna smiled and placed another kiss on his lips. "I really should get ready to go meet Ember and North."

"Alright, I will see you there." Jack quickly kissed her one last time and made his way out of the room.

"I'll be there soon." She said right before he exited her room

Arianna looked around her now empty room and sighed. She wondered how many more moments she would get with Jack before Lemiel showed his face again and what would happen once he did. She walked over to the dresser that was in the room as she thought. She stared at herself in the mirror hanging above the dresser as she picked up a brush and began brushing her hair. She could see her bed in the mirror and smiled at the thought of being there with Jack.

As she brushed her hair she felt her mind start to get foggy and her vision began to blur. As she felt herself get dizzy she dropped the brush and held on to the dresser for support. She mentally started to prepare herself for the vision she knew was coming. But, suddenly, her vision and mind were clear and she was no longer dizzy. She blinked a few times in confusion.

"What the hell was that?" She questioned as she bent down to grab her brush.

When she stood back up and looked in her mirror she dropped her brush again in shock. Her mouth fell open and fear was in her eyes. At the foot of her bed sat Lemiel his legs crossed and smiling wickedly at her. She quickly spun around to face him, her Trident growing and falling into her hand as she did. She took a defensive stance ready to fight.

"What the hell are you doing here!?" She demanded.

"Relax, Arianna. I am not really here. This is a vision I am giving to you." Lemiel said, his voice dripping with satisfaction from her obvious fear and confusion.

Arianna didn't drop her guard. "How do you know my name? What do you mean you are giving me a vision? How is that even possible?"

Lemiel's wicked smile got bigger. "Oh, sweetheart, you mean to tell me your precious Ember has not told you what all your gift of sight can do? Well, that figures. It appears to me that there is quite a lot that he has not told you."

"I am NOT your sweetheart, nor will I ever be! Ember has told us everything about you. You are his brother and you betrayed him! You murdered two innocent people because the seer loved someone else and rejected you! He trapped you inside the fire amulet to keep you from hurting anyone else. Tell me how you know my name!" Her fear and confusion was now replaced with anger.

"Let's just say a friend, who you will meet soon enough, told me all about the new Element Guardians and about the new Childhood Guardian. I didn't believe certain things at first. But you, sweetheart, are proving that it is all true."

"And what exactly am I proving is true?"

Lemiel stood up from the bed and walked towards her. Arianna tried to run for the door to get help but she suddenly realized she was frozen to where and how she stood. Panic poured over her but she wouldn't let it show. She knew he would use it against her if he had the slightest idea. Lemiel closed the distance between them and was now standing in front of her uncomfortably close. He was considerably taller than her so she had to tilt her head up to meet his eyes. She tried with everything she had to not show him any fear. Lemiel reached up with one hand and brushed her cheek with the back of his hand. She shivered with disgust as he touched her.

"That you do not really know who I am and you do not know the connection we share." Lemiel let his hand trace down her face, neck, and arm as he spoke.

"I have no connection with you!" Arianna said through gritted teeth.

Lemiel took a step back as he laughed at her. "Sweetheart, we have more of a connection than anyone else in your life. If you do not believe me then ask your honest and fearless leader why he has hidden from you what you are capable of. Ask him how you died and why you were chosen to be an Element Guardian." He reached into his coat pocket and pulled out one of Tooth's baby teeth capsules taking care to hide the picture of the owner of the teeth. "Better yet, ask him why he stole this and is currently hiding in in a secret room inside his bedroom at The Element Palace!" He turned the capsule around to reveal the picture of the girl who the teeth inside belonged to.

Arianna looked at the teeth capsule and at the picture of the girl on it. Then suddenly it hit her who the girl was. It was her. She suddenly felt like she had been punched in the stomach. Her mind started to fog and her vision became blurry. She tried to fight the overwhelming dizziness that was starting to take over, but it was no use. Her eyes rolled back in her head and her eyes fluttered closed as she hit the ground unconscious.

Arianna's eyes snapped open. She was now sitting on the floor with her back leaning against the dresser. She quickly jumped to her feet and looked around the room. She was alone. It really was just a vision. A type of vision she had never had before. A type of vision she didn't even know she could have.

When she was certain she was alone she let herself sink back to the floor and once again lean against the dresser. Did Lemiel really just invade her mind and send her a vision? Was he telling the truth? Was Ember really hiding things from her, Liam, and Helios? Did he really have a secret room? Did he really have her baby teeth capsule hidden there this whole time? Was Lemiel just lying to try and divide them?

She had so many questions. Questions only Ember could answer. But, asking those questions would be like accusing Ember of lying. He wouldn't lie to them. Would he? She knew there was only one way to find out. She stood up and continued to quickly brush her hair. Then she was out her door and running as fast as she could to the globe room.

In the globe room both sets of Guardians stood. Ember and North standing in front of the globe while the rest of their Guardians looked at them. Ember glanced at a clock on a nearby wall.

"Where is Arianna? Liam, did you not tell her thirty minutes?" Ember asked frustrated. It had now been forty five minutes since Liam, Helios, and Jack had left her room.

"Yes, Ember, I did." Liam answered, looking to Jack for help.

Jack jumped off of his staff that he had been crouching on top of and landed lightly on the floor. "When I left her she said she would be here soon. I will go look for her though."

"Please do! And hurry!" Ember ordered.

Jack nodded as his feet lifted off the ground. He flew towards the big double doors but as he did they burst open and Arianna ran into the room nearly knocking them both to the ground. Jack was able to steady the both of them before they fell. He looked at her smiling but his smile quickly faded when he saw the look on her face and the tears brimming in her eyes that she was fighting with not to fall.

"Ari, what's wrong!?" He asked worriedly as he tried to take her hands in his.

Arianna shook her head and pulled away from him. She then looked to the rest of the group. All of them seeing at once the anger and confusion on her face. Ember's previous frustration was now forgotten.

"Arianna, what has happened?" Ember asked concerned. He quickly crossed the room to her.

She looked up at him and took a deep breath in an attempt to keep her tears from falling. Ember placed his hands on her shoulders. Arianna quickly shoved his hands off of her.

"I had a vision, Ember." Arianna said, her voice cracking slightly.

"What did you see?" Ember was thoroughly worried now.

"Why didn't you tell me that Lemiel can give me visions and enter them to talk to me?" Arianna said, her voice was a whisper now.

Ember felt like his heart was in his throat and he could feel himself grow pale.

"WHY EMBER!?" Arianna screamed.

"I...I did not know he could." Ember whispered as he looked down at the floor.

Arianna stared at Ember is disbelief. Somehow, in her heart, she knew. She knew he was lying to her. Was Lemiel really telling the truth about everything?

"What did Lemiel tell you Arianna?" North asked he was now standing at Ember's side.

Arianna thought for a moment and quickly made a decision. "Just that someone he called a friend told him all about Liam, Helios, Jack, and me. I somehow managed to break out of the vision before anything else could happen." She said.

"That confirms it then." North said, "We called you all here to tell you that there has been a spike of energy far beneath the ice in Antarctica. We believe it to be Lemiel, but there were two distinct energies. One much more powerful than the other. Lemiel isn't working alone. We all must be prepared at a moments notice to move."

The meeting drug on as North explained what he wanted each person to do to prepare. Ember never said another word, he just stared at the floor. North then concluded the the meeting and everyone began to file out except for Jack who went to stand beside Arianna as she watched everyone leave. When Liam and Helios went to pass by her she grabbed Liam's arm and sent him a look, he knew immediately she needed to speak with Helios and himself. Liam grabbed Helios' arm and sent him the same look. Helios nodded. The four of them stood there in the middle of the globe room in silence until the last Guardian was out of the room and the doors closed behind them. As soon as they were alone all eyes were on Arianna.

"I need to tell all of you what I really saw." Arianna said.

North stood in his personal workshop staring out the window, watching the snowfall outside. His arms were crossed over his broad chest. A book laid open on the window sill in front of him.

The book was very thick, large, and very old. The leather edges of the covers barely visible with the book open. The writing in the book appeared to be handwritten. On one of the open pages was a black and white drawing of a man. He had long dark hair pulled back in a tight pony tail that reached down to his knees. He was wearing a long dark sorcerer robe that reached almost to the floor. The robe was tied closed at his waist with what appeared to be braided dark rope. Both of his arms were outstretched. One hand held a crystal, the other held a ball of flames. The only color in the drawing was in his eyes, they were a dark blood red. Underneath the drawing there was one word written bolder and bigger than any of the other words on the page. The word : Aanon.

There was a knock at the door. North never broke his stare as he told whoever was at the door to enter. He heard the door open and then close. It wasn't until the last click of his locks on the door had clicked that he turned to face his visitor. He picked up the book making sure to mark the page the book had been opened to with his hand. Ember stood at the door.

"You wanted to see me?" Ember asked

North looked down at the book in his hand. "Yes, I have finished reading what you suggested. Do you really think this is who Lemiel is working with?"

"Considering what Aanon was capable of, what it would take to resurrect him, and the possible location of his remains it makes sense." Ember said gravely.

North sat down in the closest chair and ran his free hand through his long white hair. "This is not good."

"No, it is not. We have to protect Arianna at all costs." Ember said.

North quickly stood from his chair and crossed the room to stand in front of Ember. He had a hint of anger on his face.

"Then you must stop lying to her and the rest of your Elements!"

"North it is not that easy and you know it!"

"She needs to know why she was chosen! She needs to know what she is capable of!" North was getting angrier.

"You know Manny specifically told me she has to find him before I can tell her anything!"

"She has found him! You are either blind or stupid if you cannot see that! You saw what they made!' North's voice was beginning to rise.

"Jack got his memories back and Arianna wasn't in them, North!"

"You know as well as I do that the teeth capsules only show you what you need to know at a specific time! Lemiel obviously has figured out who she is! He is already entering her visions and if she finds out from him she will never forgive you!" North was yelling now.

"I know that." Ember said defeated.

"Then go tell her." North had made an effort to calm himself and lower his voice.

"It would be better if I could show her. I need to go see Talon. Will you watch over my Elements while I go retrieve the things that I need?" Ember knew it was time to tell the truth but he had to do it the right way.

"Of course, Ember. But, be careful, Lemiel is also looking for revenge on you."

"I will. Thank you. I will return by tomorrow night." With that Ember was out the door.

North let out a sigh as the door closed behind Ember. He ran his hand through his hair again as he turned to look out his window again.

"I hope you are ready Guardians. This will be the fight of our lives."
