Ch. 2

Later that day, all the guardians came down to the cell that I was in. As they arrived, they found that the bars had melting snow on them and the same for the window. They looked in and saw that my hands were covered by metal cuffs and were chained to the ground.

I was sitting on the bed with my head down. As they came to the cell, they looked at me and north spoke "Who are you my dear" but I dint answer. "Why were you with Pitch?" still no answer.

He was about to ask another question when they heard the rapid flap of wings and the tooth fairy appeared down the stairs and flew over to them. "North, do you have another heater? The other one dint work"

She was holding the ball of ice with her little fairy inside. "Yes, it's next to the kitchen behind the door." Before she could fly away they heard another voice say "That won't work".

Since they dint recognize the voice as one of the guardians' they knew it was the girls. They looked at me and saw that I had straightened up and looked directly at the ice ball.

"Heaters won't work." "And why not?" asked Jack. I looked at him and said "Its special ice, only I can melt it." I turned my gaze to North, lifted my chains and said "But I need my hands" as soon as I spoke, bunny yelled "Don't do it. She's a tricky little shela. She'll pull another skeam."

I looked at him and said "it's your choice." North looked at me and then tooth with the ball and made his decision. He took out his keys and went into the cell. I lifted my hands up and he looked at me before unlocking them and said "No tricks" and unlocked my hands.

I slid them off and rubbed my wrists. I got up and looked over to the guardians and walked towards them. As I got close to them, I started extending my arm. As my hand got closer to them, Bunny came right in front of me and put his machete towards me.

I looked at him and dint say anything, I just turned my hand so my palm was upwards and I looked at tooth. She understood and put the cold sphere in my hand. I put my other hand around it and looked down at it. As Jack was looking at what I was doing, he put his hand on bunny's arm and lowered it.

I looked at the ball and saw the little fidgeting bird inside. "Shhh." I said gently. Jack was watching my every move. I opened my mouth and exhaled on the ball. He waited for me to do something else but I dint and soon he understood why.

A few seconds after that my breath had made contact with the ball, it started gently melting. As it had completely melted the little creature was in my hand. I looked at her and she stood up and started flying. I put my hand down and she said something to me and I gave her a little smile.

She flew back to tooth who gave her a giant hug. As she hugged her, she looked surprised. She looked up at me and said "she's warm" I nodded and said "its special ice" and I turned back and walked towards the bed.

North was about to pick up the cuffs when I said "May I please leave them off? I promise I won't freeze anything and I can't run away since I have nowhere to go." "So be it" and he dropped the cuffs on the floor.

He turned around and walked to the others. "You're gonna leave her hands free? Don't you know what she did?!" Bunny said. "Yes, she could have killed the tooth fairy's friend but instead she just kept her encased but also warm. If she can do that when she's fighting, she won't hurt anyone."

North, tooth and sandy walked out. Bunny glared at me sitting on the bed. I looked up at him and said "I know you don't trust me, but that doesn't mean that I'm not trust-worthy." and at that, I looked back at the small window at the edge of my room. Bunny huffed and went out of the room.

It was quiet and without turning my head, I said "I know your still there." "Why did you do that?" Jack stood up and came next to the bars. "Do what?" I finally looked at him and he said "Attack us?" "Was I not supposed to? I dint know who you were and I felt threatened so I did what I could to defend myself."

At that, Jack left. He went back up and found all the guardians standing in the globe room. He found Bunny arguing with North. "What do you mean you trust her?!" "She dint hurt us, she helped melt the ice and kept are little friend safe. I trust her." "Well I don't. She attacked us."

But as he said that, Jack spoke "No she dint." they all looked at him and he continued, "She dint attack us, she told me that she was just protecting herself. Plus she dint attack us, she just did things to tier us out."

North grinned and crossed his arms and said "I like her" "Well I don't" Bunny grumbled, "You'll warm up to her. Now, we must try and figure out where this young lady came from." And the guardians all spread out and tried to find information about their little visitor.

Later that night, North came down and was bringing me food. As he was coming up to my cell, he saw that I had a metal plate and was drawing something on it with ice. As he came closer, he said "what are you drawing?" It scared me a bit and I swiped my hand over the plate and it got completely covered in ice, erasing anything that was drawn on it before.

He looked at me and said "I brought you some food" I looked at the plate with my super on it. As I got up and took it, I saw that it looked very delicious. I took the tray and said "thank you." As I sat back down on my bed, I looked at it and said "this looks better then what I thought you would feed me." "Oh? Well we don't give bad food here, It's bad for the stomach." He said with his heavy Russian accent.

"Ya, I guess you're right." And I let out a little smile. He smiled and said "so how did you get that metal plate?" As I was biting into a piece of chicken, I pointed to the chains with my foot.

He looked at them and saw that one cuff was missing. "So you flattened the cuff? Just to draw?" He asked curious, "pretty much. Well I had to do something down here. I dint want to freeze the floor cause it might get slippery so I took the metal." And I took another bite.

I heard him chuckle a bit and said "well, I hope you enjoy your supper, someone will be down later to check on you." Before North could leave, I asked "why are you being so nice to me?" He stopped and said "what do you mean?" "Why are you all being nice to me, I'm nothing but a monster." I said with my head down. North smiled and said "I don't see any monsters here." And left.

That night, everyone went to go to sleep. It was the middle of the night and everyone was asleep. I had opened my cell and walked out. I walked up to the main floor and started looking around.

I found a giant opening with a big glass roof. I stood in the middle of it and looked up to the moon who was shining at full strength. I turned in a circle and around me flew gentle snowflakes and swirled around.

As I did that, I was smiling. Soon, I felt someone watching me. I stopped and looked to find Sandman watching me. I looked at him and saw that he gave me a warming smile. I smiled back and he did the image of a snow flake with his dust.

I put up my hand and created snowflakes. I sent them swirling around him and he smiled widely. I made the swirl stop as I saw that the morning was approaching. I put one finger up to my lips and sandy understood not to tell anyone. I walked back to my cell and closed the door. I went under the covers and snuggled up and fell asleep.
