Chapter 2! Well not gonna waste any time, I OWN NOTHING BUT THE PLOT AND OC's.

3rd POV Jack

Our favorite wintery hero was on his way to North's when he met up with Sandy. "Hey Sandy, are you headed to North's workshop too?" The small golden man nodded, his face grim. "Did something happen?" Sandy nodded again and made a few signs that Jack didn't understand.

They flew the rest of the way in silence, and upon arriving they were greeted by North. "Ah, Jack Sandy is good see you. We have much talk about, come quickly." They followed the large Russian man into his private workshop where the other two Guardians were waiting.

"North, I saw something today… It was a teenage girl with a baby, but the baby was pale gray and had bright yellow eyes. Something about the baby unsettled me, it seemed strange." Jack explained, and Sandy brought out an old scroll.

North read the scroll then handed it to Bunny, "Is very old prophecy, almost forget it exist! Seem finally come true, must find girl and baby, protect them." The plump old man explained. As the scroll was passed around and read by the Guardians, each began to understand the trouble ahead.

"So mate, all we 'ave to do is protect the Sheila and her babe. Seems easy enough, ya got this Frost bite?" Bunny elbowed Jack, a smirk on his lips. "After all mate, ya the only one who knows what the Sheila looks like."

Everyone looked at Jack, he thought about it quickly then nodded. "Okay, I'll watch over her. I better get going then, she was left alone." Jack gripped his staff and left the workshop quickly, heading back to Burgess to find the girl.

Katrina's POV

I'm cold, but I have to keep going, my daughter needs me to stay strong. I had crossed the street into the park when some black mist shot towards me, hitting my eyes. The pain caused me to fall to my knees, I held onto my daughter making sure she didn't fall. Finally my vision cleared, I looked up to see people standing around me.

A blonde woman held out her hand to me, I took it and stood. "Are you okay? You're Marie's daughter right?" I nodded while checking on my baby. "Why are you walking around in this weather, and with a baby too."

I looked at the kind woman, she appeared to be in her mid-30s and her blonde hair had a few grays. "Yes I am… she… my mother kicked me, well us, out. I don't have anywhere to go, so I was going to stay in the park tonight." I picked up my suitcase and smiled at the woman, "Thank you for your concern."

The woman put her hand on my arm, "Would you like to stay with me and my family, it's almost Christmas after all and it gets cold at night." I looked at the woman unsure, she seemed trustworthy, but I wasn't sure. She smiled kindly at me and gestured at my baby, "Do you really want to stay outside with your baby?" I sighed, and shook my head. "Then it's settled, I'm Sophie by the way."

"I'm Katrina." I started following Sophie as she led us to her home. "So how many live in your house Sophie?" I asked, just trying to fill the silence.

Sophie smiled at me and held up eight fingers, "There are me, my husband, my daughter, my brother Jamie, his wife, and their two sons." She looked at me again and saw the doubt on my face. "Don't worry, we still have plenty of room!" I nodded again. We walked a few more minutes than Sophie stopped in front of a decent sized house, "Welcome to my home."

When she opened the door, a burst of arm air hit us. I was pushed inside and greeted by the smell of fresh pine. "You have a real Christmas tree?" Sophie nodded, then showed me where to hang my jacket.

She gasped and I stepped back, clutching my daughter close. "I didn't realize you were only a teenager, you poor thing." She stared at me a moment longer, "Well anyway let me show you to your room, I still have my daughter's crib so… um you never told me the baby's name." Sophie looked at me expectantly.

"Well, that's because she doesn't have one yet… But I think I know what I want to name her." I looked at my daughter again, "Evangelina, it means good little angel."

Sophie opened the door for me, the room had a bed, dresser, and a bay window. "I think it's a perfect name. I'll have my husband bring the crib in here after supper, you change into some dry clothes and meet us down stairs."

I put Evangelina down on the bed carefully. "Thank you for everything Sophie, not many people would invite a stranger into their home." I shut the door and opened up the suit case. Half of it was my clothes, and the other half was baby supplies. I'm glad my mom put the formula in here too, it shows she cares somewhat. First thing first, I changed he diaper and then put a clean onesy on her. After I made sure she was alright I changed into a dry set of clothes. "Eva, this is a nice family, don't you think?" I asked my daughter while looking out the bay window. It had a view of the forest, and if a person looked hard enough they could make out the small pond.

"I hope they don't freak out when they see you." I told her. I looked out the window again, and I swear it looked like a boy was flying through the sky! I shook off the thought, I'm just tired and my mind played a trick on me.

When I walked down stairs I saw a table surrounded by people, there was an empty chair next to Sophie, and she gestured for me to take a seat. When I got close I could hear a few gasps, "Katrina, what's wrong with your daughter?" Sophie asked me.

I gulped, "She was born this way, nothing's wrong with her. My daughter is very healthy, she just… it's a long story." Sophie patted the seat next to her.

"We have time, and I'm sure nothing you say could surprise us." Her kind smile calmed me down so I sat next to her and for the first time ever, got ready to tell the whole story.

Jack's POV

I looked around for the girl but was unable to find her, so I decided I'd go to Sophie's for help. When I got there I quietly opened the door and went inside. Everyone was sitting at the table looking at something I couldn't see. As I got close I heard the Sophie speak "We have time, and I'm sure nothing you say could surprise us." I looked around the half wall to see the girl I had been searching for, and she had her baby.

The girl sat next to Sophie, who looked up and smiled at me quickly, "Well, it was a little over nine months ago. I was asleep in my bed when a man came and spoke to me in my dream, he had Gray skin and bright yellow eyes. He told me I was… he told me I was going to carry his child. I told him he was crazy, and then I saw his dark sand. It swirled around us and then I was encased in it, when it disappeared the man had an evil smile. He said that it was done, and then he… he touched my shoulder and left a dark mark in the shape of a horse." She lifted her sleeve and I could see the mark, it looked just like Pitch's black sand horses.

I waited for the girl, whose name I learned is Katrina, to go upstairs before taking to Sophie and Jamie. "So Jack, you're here because of Katrina right?" Sophie asked me.

I nodded and told them why I was here, "So North wants you to protect them, you can count on us Jack. We won't let anyone hurt those two girls." Jamie still had his courage from when he was a kid, I smiled at them and patted their heads like old times.

I walked upstairs, to the room Sophie told me Katrina was staying in. I could hear her talking, so I listened in. "Evangelina Desdemona Adara, do you like that name my little angel? I'm glad they believed me, I was afraid they would think I was lying." When it grew quiet I figured she had gone to bed so I went down stairs.

I saw Sophie and her husband washing the dishes, "I'll be out in the tree if you need me Soph, you guys be good." They waved me goodbye and I went to sleep in a tree nearby. I woke up when Sandy flew over and told him about Katrina's story, he thought for a moment then went to finish with his sand, silently promising to tell the others for me.

This is the end of Chapter 2! Chapter 3 is just around the corner!
