Katherine Carter is chosen by the Man In The Moon to join North, Bunnymund, Tooth, Sandman, and the famous Jack Frost to fight against evil.

1. 1 Backstory

So this is my new story :3 I think i might lay off the other one for a while, or maybe not, but i'll definatley come back to it. And now, a little dedication to my favorite animated movie: I was surprised when i saw it. I wasn't really having a good day and i didn't want to go anywhere because i'm lazy, but my mom made me. We almost missed the movie, too, we were thinking about seeing a different movie later. Gosh, i don't know where i'd be if i didn't see that movie! It changed my life. Everything was perfect about it. The graphics, the story, the characters. It just made my day a lot better after that. :) So...without further ado, here is my story!

The last thing that I saw in my mortal life was the water. It whirled around me like a tornado, entering my lungs every time it got the chance. I knew it was over as I sunk deeper and deeper into the ocean. The worst part wasn't the feeling, though…it was the sound. The sound of the salty liquid pounding against my ears, blocking out all of the screams and shouts above the water. That was when I learned to accept fate. At least I did something right for once.

The man in the moon spoke to me that day. He said I was special for what I did. I told him that it was what any other person would do. He told me that someone like me wouldn't do it, but he didn't ask me why. He simply waved his arm in a circle, and I was back in the ocean again.

I struggled to get out. Water was my biggest enemy now. After many attempts, I looked down at my legs, which were now covered in thousands of green, shiny fish scales. Then I realized that I could actually breath under water. I'm a mermaid? I thought in disbelief. Suddenly, a slithery hand grasped my shoulder and pulled me down into the murky depths of the water. When I turned around in fury, I realized that there were a bunch of other mermaids.

They taught me how to catch fish, swim faster and easier, and get along with everyone. I finally accepted what was going on, and it stayed that way for over 300 years.

But everything changed when a special group called the Guardians came along.

So that is it! Review if you like it! This is a short chapter because it's kind of Katherine's backstory.
