This is my second story on this site, I know I haven't finished my other one but I couldn't keep this idea out of my head, if you don't like OC's then this story may not be for you. I hope you enjoy and like it because I worked a lot on this first chapter. :)

Thank you for reading my story and I'll talk to you all later.

Chapter One

My name is Anima Breeze, but it wasn't always that.

Once it was Felicia Breeze, but that, that was a long time ago.

I've been through a lot.

Been through experiences I would've never dreamed happening.

Met the most extraordinary people, if they could even be called that.

A met a man, who brought wonder and light to every place he was, and to everything he created.

I met a woman who was kind and caring and never ceased to give up, never forgetting to protect what she knew was right.

I met a rabbit who would never, ever loose hope no matter how futile, how absolutely absurd the situation was.

I met a man, who was a kind soul, never uttered a word, but I could always understand how he was feeling.

I met a boy, a boy like me, he was the happiest soul I'd ever met, on the outside, on the inside I knew he was different, but he was fun-loving that was for certain.

"Felicia! Felicia! I want to go swimming! I want to go swimming!" Felicia turned her gaze to her little sister Amy who was standing beside he tugging on her shoulder. Her brother Kaden stood beside them his arms crossed over his chest. Felicia was only fourteen years old, not that old but old enough that her mother trusted her to watch Amy and Kaden, even though Kaden was only a year younger than her at thirteen. All of them had light brown hair, Kaden's being a bit darker than the rest of the siblings.

"Kaden do you think we could take her to the lake for a swim?" Felicia turned her gaze away from Amy's dull green gaze to meet Kaden's bright blue. She glanced at the sky shielding her face from the sun with her hand. It was a bright sunny day and it was easy to see why Amy wanted to go swimming. It was extremely hot outside, and the large lake with the nice beach and diving platforms...it would be nice to go swimming again. After all, all three siblings were good swimmers.

Kaden shrugged. "I don't see why not, as long as we let mom know. I'll do it." Kaden ran back into house nearly tripping over his black jogging pants. Felicia really had no idea how he always wore those jogging pants and hoodie, no matter how hot it was outside, and that was saying a lot as it was +29 degrees today. Felicia sat down on the grass, mindlessly toying with the strings on her light sweater. She couldn't really make fun of Kaden when she was wearing a sweater as well. She was wearing jean capris. Amy was only eight years old, and very hyper, she was wearing a bright blue sundress that reached to her knees and when Felicia told her to sit down all she had done was stick out her tongue and run around trying to catch a yellow butterfly that was flying around the yard. Felicia watched her with a smile on her face. She really preferred to hang out with her family members on summer holidays. She was usually alone at school, everyone defined her as weird and dark. She didn't really mind though, but she did have one true friend who was stopping by tomorrow for a campfire they were having.

A sliding noise alerted her to Kaden's return. "She said that'd be okay as long as we're careful." Kaden smiled to her. Felicia smiled back at her brother. She got along with him better than most people. Some people actually could mistake them for twins and have. Even though Felicia was a year older than Kaden they were close to the same height, with both being tall for their age, Felicia at 5'8 and Kaden at 5'7.

"Mind if I grab my sketchbook? I am not really in the mood for swimming." Felicia asked and when Kaden nodded she called to Amy to grab her swimsuit and went into the house via the sliding patio door. She walked through the living room nearly tripping over the family's, unusual at best, pet. The snowy white fox shot up at the near kicking with a growl but quickly realizing who had nearly kicked her it immediately calmed down and scrambled up her back to sit on her shoulder, Felicia turned to look at bright blue eyes who stared back at her and she thought for the millionth time, I wish you could talk. Out of all creatures, even Kaden, her pet artic fox, Aneira, which Kaden had decided after finding the fox out in the snow one day, everyone else had agreed.

She let the fox remain on her shoulder as she shuffled through the living room to a closet containing beach towels, she grabbed two, one for Kaden and one for Amy then walked up the wooden stairs to her bedroom or as she liked to call it, her sanctuary. The walls were painted a dark navy blue and the hardwood floor was dark walnut in color. He small bed had silvery sheets and her desk which was a mahogany color had crumpled papers from stories she'd been writing, drawings and even art from her easel in the other corner of her room. She grabbed the sketchbook and set it on top of the beach towels she'd shoved into a bag and ran back down stairs, or rather slid down the hand rail, barefoot. Kaden had called her crazy for being so reckless but she could really care less, she loved the feel of the wind in her hair and on her face whenever she ran fast or in this case slid down the staircase.

She flung the door open when she hit the bottom of the stairs earning a high pitched yip of glee from Aneira, who had also enjoyed the adrenalin rush of sliding down the stairs. She slowed to a walk when she slid the door shut slower than how she'd opened it and turned to see Amy looking at him with a wide grin on her face and Kaden stifling a bark of laughter.

"What's so funny?" Felicia looked at her siblings a confused expression of her face. That did it as Kaden could no longer hold in his laughter and he clutched his chest as he began uncontrollably laughing. Amy just giggled, so she asked again. "What is so funny?"

Amy answered her. "Hehe Felicia! Aneira, ripped, your," She paused taking a gasping breath because she to was now laughing. "sweater, up the sleeve. You can see your arm, and the sweater hanging open, you look hilarious!"

Felicia looked at her right arm, where Aneira was sitting on her right shoulder, past that she noticed a long rip, her arm hanging out of the fabric that now hung off her shoulder. One line? That's unusual unless a claw snagged...Aneira's claws must be sharper than she'd thought. To bad to, this silver sweater was her favorite one, but she wasn't going to throw it away, even though it had a long rip from the wrist to the shoulder, she actually kind of liked it. She whispered to Aneira who scrambled to her left arm and did the same to the the other side, much to her siblings surprise, but Kaden noticed what she was doing and simply nodded.

"No matter." Felicia stated raising her arms to show the fabric on both sides, it did look cool, and now she could feel the slight breeze on her arms, it was comforting to say the least. "Now, lets go to the lake."

They didn't live far from any town but the nearest town was at there fastest walking speed an hour away, but there was a lake in the weeping willow forest that surrounded there home, the lake was only a five minute walk down a dirt trail behind there house. The forest was peaceful and even in winter, the weeping willows branches glittered with frost making them even more beautiful, but now it was summer and the forest was in full bloom, and many animals were about running around, Aneira quickly jumped of her shoulder, her dark grey tipped tail vanishing into the shrubbery, she stood out like a polar bear in the desert but she ran around anyway, just like any other forest creature would. Amy being her usual childish self kept running after squirrels, and butterflies in an attempt to cuddle the wild animals. Felicia simply smiled and called her back to the path when she strayed to far and when the lake came into view she actually had to run forward and grab her before she could throw of her dress and jump into the water.

"Woah there Amy. Calm down and let us get comfortable before you go swimming." Felicia said and smiled at her frustration at having to wait. Felicia set the two towels on the side and sat down on the grass sketchbook and pencil in her lap, and finally waved at Amy who was antsy with excitement, waiting beside the water watching Kaden to laps in the small lake, very small, any smaller and it would've been considered a pond. Amy gave a shriek of excitement, climbing up a rock hanging over the water and jumping off of it with a loud splash into the water. Felicia couldn't help but laugh at her enjoyment, it was hard to be in a bad mood with her sister. Felicia may be over protective of her siblings, she'd never let anyone hurt them, not even a spirit. Yes she was fourteen, and that was an age which most children stopped believing, stating that they were merely myths or even legends that they didn't really exist in the physical world, but she knew they did. Who else collected teeth that lay under pillows? Who else left presents on Christmas, and eggs to find on Easter? There was other's she knew as well but she couldn't really begin to guess who they were, she'd convinced herself and her sister to believe in them, spirits, but Kaden in that way differed from her. He'd stopped believing long ago. He didn't tell Amy that but Kaden told her, and it hurt to here him say,

You know they don't believe right? They are fairy-tails made up for little kids.

No there not, I know there real.

Oh do you? Then if there real why can't I see them?

Maybe because you don't believe, maybe they don't want you to see them!

You only say that because you know I am right and you just don't want to admit it! Grow up!

No...no! You don't understand! You'll never understand!

Felicia frowned as she remembered that conversation. It didn't matter what was real or not, she knew they were real. How? She felt it inside her, at her core that they were not just made up by someone who has to large an imagination. It didn't work that way, and she knew this for certain, she had met a boy, same age as her, the last time she'd seen him when she had been on vacation, by the name of Jamie Bennett. Told her the most unusual story, he'd met them actually met them. He'd called them guardians, told her all about how five spirits had saved him from an evil spirit known as Pitch Black. The boogey man. Felicia had promised herself that if she ever sensed something strange in the night she'd be by her sisters side in an instant. When Jamie however had told her the world had stopped believing she couldn't believe him though, she hadn't stopped believing. She had doubted yes, but stopped? No way! Maybe it was her and Amy's doubt that had caused there lights to dim, or as Jamie had proudly bragged that his was the brightest light there was, Felicia couldn't help herself for being jealous. She wanted to be the brightest light. To show these guardians that even though she was older she still believed and didn't need anyone wouldn't let anyone tell her otherwise. Not even her own brother.

She shook her head to clear her foggy mind and focus on the present. How long had she been stuck in memories like that? She looked at the sun, but couldn't tell the time. With a huff of frustration she opened her sketchbook to her drawing, she was a good artist, or so she had been told by her mother and art teacher. Even Amy had oohed and awed over her drawing of Toothiana, the tooth fairy, which she had drawn in Jamie's help. It had turned out great and Jamie had informed her that it looked exactly like her.

Now though she was drawing the exact scene that was happening before her. Her two siblings swimming in the lake and she was even drawing herself in the picture, and in her picture she was also drawing a picture. It was kind of trippy as Kaden would've joked but she didn't care. She had seen art like that and thought it was interesting, not as boring and unoriginal as a plain old picture of the lake. No, she wanted to make her art interesting. She began to sketch out the details of the rock ridge that hung over the lake, in her picture Amy was leaping off the edge, one foot still on the rock surface and the other in mid air, hair billowing out behind her from the force of the wind blowing through it, Felicia smiled when she looked up and seen Amy doing that exact thing now, except she had almost landed on Kaden's head, who surfaced with a sputter of surprise.

She was about half way done adding the major details to her picture, she still had the other half and then the smaller simpler details to add, then she'd be done, but for now the sun was setting and she hadn't realized so much time had past. Her mother would be getting home soon and if they weren't back she would be exceedingly worried, over nothing but worried all the same and she couldn't allow that.

"Amy! Kaden! Come on! It's getting late! Come dry off!" She called to her siblings who were chasing each other in the water. They immediately ran out of the water and grabbed there towels, Amy who's teeth were chattering with cold complained.

"I wish I had brought dry clothes!" She stuttered out. Felicia just smiled and laughed ushering the two freezing bodies toward home. Aneira ran back out of the woods, at her call, even though she hadn't addressed Aneira specifically the fox still came and ran up her body to sit on her shoulder, settling down comfortably. Today had been a relaxing summer day and she wished she could repeat this day, every day a little bit better, now that, that would be amazing! To always have a peaceful and relaxing day, no worries or troubles just her art, her sibling and a peaceful relaxing set for it all. Yes, that, that would be nice.

Pitch watched Felicia and her siblings. He had no interest in her brother, Kaden, the non-believer, however much he dearly wanted to knock some sense into him, however much he wanted to show him that yes oh very much yes that he was real, and that he could scare him so much he'd never forget who he was but no, alas he could not do that. His main concern was Felicia. She did not know exactly know bright her and her sister's lights were, but Pitch also knew that Felicia was the reason Amy's light was so bright, and he knew that if his new plan was to work, then something would have to be done. Jamie's light may be to bright to quench now but these lights weren't as bright and the guardians, oh they did not care quite enough about children. They did not notice the ever so slightly flickering lights on the globe only ever so often and only for a few seconds at a time, and Pitch of course was the cause of this, sending the smallest speck of a nightmare into a child's mind, even for only a few seconds it was strengthening him even if it was a painstakingly slow process for him, the guardians may be wonderful by many people's standards but they didn't notice things as well, they did not care to destory all his rogue nightmares and Pitch had begun almost immediately to collect them, he didn't have very many but it was enough and once he was stronger then making nightmares would no longer be an issue.

He had to remember that he wasn't alone anymore, he had an ally now though it wasn't exactly the ally he wanted. It wasn't Jack Frost. No matter how much he had wished, and planned and plotted, so much that he was certain absolutely certain that his plan could not fail, after all he had offered the winter spirit exactly what he'd always wanted, to be believed in, but, the winter spirit had still sided against him and he had to accept that...accept that he would make Jack Frost see his mistake, and he would make sure he paid for it, and paid for it dearly, and unknown to the guardians, his plan had already begun.
