The summary is the prophecy.

Warning: the first portion of this chapter is kinda boring ( sadly no you cant get away with skipping it) but don't worry, hopefully it'll just be the trip up in the roller coaster.

1. Where the Heck is My Friend?

Moonlight shone on red leaves scattered on the floor as clouds started forming themselves, slowly surrounding the glowing orb as it reached it's highest point. Midnight, I grinned. Time to work my magic. I dipped my staff into the lake and watched as the ice slid across it. This was always one of my favorite parts, though I never looked at it the same way after I found out my history with frozen lakes…

Anyway when I was done with that I started carpeting the floor of dead leaves with snow. It felt good to think about all the snowball fights and sleigh rides that would happen tomorrow when everyone would wake up into a nice snow day.

The thought reminded me of Jamie, my first believer and the sled ride I gave him before he believed in me, and to think that that had been 8 years ago. So much has happened since then, it made me smile to think that in all those years he never stopped believing.

I could still talk and play with him though he has changed as he grew up. He didn't have that much time to play anymore and sometimes he talked about stuff I didn't understand or care about much like academics, being something other than friend to a girl and-shudder-jobs.

But despite all that, I could see that Jamie was still a child at heart. He still looked for me during winter and wouldn't hesitate to throw a snowball at me when I was off guard; he was still the same Jamie I first met, only older. I miss him; it's been three years since I last saw the kid. For some reason he was never around his house anymore, I don't know why. I decided to go visit him later; it was exciting to think that he would be my age by now.

By the time I was done I immediately headed to Burgess. It was early morning there, a few minutes before sunrise. I immediately spotted his house and flew to it.

Floating right outside his window I cupped my hands in front of my eyes and pressed them against the glass so that I could see inside. It was dark. Nothing seemed to have changed since my last visit here. "Jamie" I called knocking on the window.

No answer.

Whoops, I forgot, he was probably asleep right now. I decided to just come back later when he's awake. I stood there a little longer staring inside and remembered all the memories we had in there. Like the time I made it snow in his room or when we accidentally woke him up. I laughed at the memory of Bunny getting chased by the greyhound. I left a snowy pattern on his window to show that I had been here.

Just as I had gotten a few feet away the sun rose, It's probably time for him to get up anyway I thought. I looked back into his room and decided to wake him up. I guess I was a little too excited because I ended up slamming onto the window. I detached myself from the glass and knocked on the window "Jamie! Time to get up! Look I made it extra snowy today want to play—"

I stopped when I realized that his bed was empty.

He wasn't there, and judging by how neat the bed was, he was never there. Where could he be? He couldn't have moved to another house, his stuff was still there. Maybe he had slept over somewhere else or had gone for an early walk or something. No wait, Jamie doesn't make his bed or wake up early. He probably went out of town or camped out somewhere or…

I felt my eyes heat up for a moment when I thought of the possibility that he could be…. No, I thought don't think like that he's probably just somewhere else don't panic. With that I went away to continue my job or something, anything to get my mind off the empty room.

A couple of minutes (or hours I don't know) later I was sitting on a branch with my hoodie up watching people enjoy their snow day. I was in no mood to join them so I tried to keep hidden in the trees and away from my believers. I could see some of them among the people outside; the same old friends that had helped us defeat Pitch. Over the last couple of years some of the kids had stopped believing but fortunately had passed the belief on to other children. I looked closer at the group of kids, looking for Jamie but sadly he wasn't there.

I sighed, it was a beautiful morning with the ice sparkling and the clean snow piled up in heaps, begging to be scooped up and thrown at someone, if only Jamie were here. Suddenly, I caught sight of one of my believers staring at me from a window. It was Pippa looking like she hadn't slept all night, last time I checked she was one of the remaining teens who still believed in me. She seemed to have been studying when she looked up at me. When she saw me look back at her she immediately went back to work. Wait I thought maybe she knows where Jamie is.

"Hey Pippa!" I called out, but she didn't look up.

"I know you can hear me!" I said flying into her window. Since she still didn't look up I grabbed the book from her desk

"Hey!" she grabbed it back

"Ha! I knew you could still see me!" I said triumphantly, she sighed in annoyance

"What do you want Jack?"

"Yeah, nice to see you too. Jeez, I was just gonna ask you if you've seen Jamie around."

Her eyes widened for a second but her face was stoic.

"No I haven't, and I have no idea where he went. Look, I'm busy okay? I've got this thing due tomorrow and a test and a project…" she sighed, "I just can't talk to you right now,"

With that she sat back down on her desk and continued reading her book as if I never came. I gave an awkward good-bye and left her room. I decided to go ask Jamie's other friends, maybe they knew.

This wasn't the first time I've asked them about Jamie's whereabouts, when I asked them before the answers were always 'I don't know' or 'maybe _ knows' or just anything else but a straight answer and on the times that they did give a straight answer he was never in the place they say he's in. And when I come back to tell them he wasn't there they'd just shrug and either walk away or change the subject. Maybe I could ask Sophie instead. Then I remembered that she didn't believe in me anymore.

Wow, that thought just made my day. I feel so much better thank you brain.

As I continued my trip I felt like someone was staring at me. I looked around and noticed at a distance what looked like a furry, blue-green ball flying towards me. I stopped mid-flight to stare at the strange object. As it drew closer I saw that it wasn't furry. It just moved so fast that it was a blur soon I could see it's pink and blue eyes staring at me. "Baby Tooth!" I said smiling; it felt good to see my little friend again.

She looked really excited as she started telling me that North was inviting us guardians to his workshop. It's really hard to explain how she actually said it but somehow when the little creature tells you something you just know what it's saying.

"Wait, why didn't he just use his northern light thing to contact me?"

Because it's not urgent he's just asking if you want to see the surprise.

"What surprise?" I asked. You'll see she told me giddily and zipped away. I looked back at Burgess Jamie probably ended up studying overnight in some place I thought remembering Pippa's sleepy look. I shrugged and decided to go see what Baby Tooth was so excited about.

hint: (if you want to be surprised avert your eyes) Jamie's not the child long gone
