The village was in a crisis, every man and woman; Boy and girl terrified. People were migrating even; Up South, but the ones who lived in the Darkened village was cursed, it didn't matter if they moved away.

"Shhh!" Lithium said." We're going to get caught if you don't stop!"

Garther hid behind the rock giggling, I ran behind my own rock.

"Ready or not! Here I come!" Galantine yelled.

Lithium was looking the other way when Galantine found her and he said "Found you!"

Lithium got up and said "this is getting to be no fun lets go."

"Okay, Lithium." Galantine and Garther wined.

We decided to stop down at the lake, when we found deer tracks.

"Hey would you look at that!" Garther said cheerfully.

"Hey guys, I'm going to go home see you later." Galantine said.

"Okay, just don't let the spirits get to you! "Lithium laughed. "Wait! Hide behind that tree!" Lithium said quietly.

Slowly a teenage girl walked over the prints.

"Don't you see her?" Lithium asked.

"See who?" Garther questioned.

"That girl!"

"I don't see anybody!"

"Never mind." Lithium said watching her.

Slowly I walked noticing my apron began to get frosty. "Oh jeez, why do I attract the snow? The cold? And the wind?"

I looked down seeing that I was stepping on deer prints. The last print stopped at this arch, this arch had a crystal in it. I reached for it letting my fingers get warm, but within a second my hand began to freeze up a little. "What the?" I looked at my hand questionly and then I looked up at the crystal where it began to crack with each inch of frost creeping up on it. I turned away, and looked at children running up and down the lake side. "Hello?" "Can somebody help me?" I asked. No answer.

I let go of the crystal, and began to walk over to a couple of kids playing. "Hello?" I repeated. Still no answer "What do I have to do to get a little bit of notice?" I asked myself.

I walked up in front of a child running around, that's when the weirdest thing happened, the child ran right through me! "Hello?" "Can anybody hear me." I asked scared.

"Hi." My name is Lithium.

Startled by the sudden sound of a voice, I turned around.

"Hello, my name is Bella Frost can you, can you see me, can you feel my presence?" I asked hoping the girl was talking to me.

"Nice to meet you, and yes I can see you, but it looks like I'm the only one who can see you, and did you say Bella Frost?" Lithium asked getting excited.

"Yes, my name is Bella Frost, and this is a little scary, you're the only one who can see me."

"Wow, the prophesies tell of a teenager that will come with the last name Frost to save us from this curse!" Lithium says to were she almost screams.

Everyone looks in her direction.

"Come on lets talk someplace a little more quiet." I said.

She agrees and we walk into an old abandoned village house.

"And! The prophesies also tell that the teenager, died from past and has one person who believes in them, the teenager has to get people to believe in them, so they can become more realistic." She continues.

"Wow, really? Then that means I'm that teenager. So that means I had a family before this? And I wasn't alone?"

"Yes!"

"Wow, I never realized it! The reason why my last name is Bella Frost is because the moon told me so! And that means the reason why I attract wind, cold , and the snow, its because I control it!
