"Mum and papa are going to kill me Rebecca!" Crescent worried. "Chill Crescent all we got to do is find Nova before mum and papa-" Suddenly they herd the front door open and the sound of Amelia's heeled ankle boots click on the titled entry way.

"Rebecca? .. Crescent ? November?" Amelia called finding it odd the house was so quite and Nova haddn't met her parents at the door.

"Mum!" Becca ran to her parents before Crescent would stop her. "Rebecca what is wrong?" Amelia asked as her dauhgter came running with her brother not two steps behind her. "It's nova." "What about Nova?" Alton asked. "She's gone." "what do you mean shes gone?" Amelia asked wide eye'd. "She ran off mum I dunno where she went." Rebecca started.

"You lost your sister?"

"No she didnt..." Everyone looked at Crescent who was droopy ear'd "I ran her off.. I was mad and .. and..told her that Santa wasn't real.." "Crescent Lee!" Amelia snapped , "I can see that coming from anyone else but not you!" "I'm sorry mum.." "Sorry isnt going to cut it Crescent-" "Amelia" Alton started touching her shoulder , "We can deal with who should have done what after we find November."

The group slit and began looking in the entire neighborhood. Rebecca went down to the home of one of the neighborhood boys Jarred Thint a boy who was half her age but had the bigest crush on her but he did have a as Rebecca put it 'Smokeing hot' older brother.

'Maybe he wont answer maybe Jacob will ' Rebecca hoped. But just her luck he did. "Well ...well ...well my Christmas just got more cheerful Rebecca Arrow is at my door. THANK YOU SANTA!" he cried.

'So much for Christmas cheer...' Rebecca mently rolled her eyes. "Jarred are you parents home?" "No...uhhh there not I need a baby sitter." "No im serious are they home?" "No-" "Who is at the door son?" Mrs. Thint asked coming behind him. "Oh Rebecca?" "Yes Sorry to diturb you but have you seen my sister?"

"November? Why is she missing?" 'no...im just asking cause I know where she is...' "Yes she went outside cause she was mad and we cant find her." "hold on a moment I'll send Jacob out to help you." "thank you Mrs. Thint. " "If I can get home away from that girl" 'Darn it!' she thought as he came out the door a followed her to begin looking for Nova.

"What have you done now you worthless , careless older brother!" Crescent said to hm self as he looked down Alley way to Alley way. Then he read a flyer about a kiddnapper on the loose. 'Nova where are you please I pray if you bring her back i'll never be mean to her again...'

Nova Arrow was cold but so mad she didnt care. "where am I going..." she thought to her self as she seen a group of kids passing by then the police station... "Scarlet!"

"Alton where could she be?" Amelia said resting her head on her hand.

"Darling we will find her."

"She is three years old Alton! where would she go ? who would she go to?"

"maybe we should call the police."

"I did there to busy looking for...for..that kidnapper."Tear accually went rolling down her face stinging it from the sudden warmth. "Scarlet!" Alton suddenly said. Amelia jumped up quickly Scarlet would be the one person Nova would go to.

November went into the station and up to a large Human officer with a big belly and a white bierd at the front desk. "How may I help you little lady?" "Uh I...am looking for my...cousin.." "And they ae?" the man gently said . "S-scarlet..Arrow.." "Ah yes I know Scarlet..but she isn't here she already went home. where is you parents little one?"

"I-I got mad...and went outside and then...I got lost and now I cant get home." She cried. the officer patte her back and said , "Tel lyou what how about I call Scarlet andsee if she can come and get you?"" you will?" "That is my job little one..What is your name?" "November Arrow.."

"Alright November lets get you home"

"no Uncle I haven't seen Nova..-hang on my job is calling i'll see if she stopping hang on.. Hello Jerrald?...You do! " SCarlet breathed a sigh of relife. "Okay tell her im on my way with hher mum and papa. thank you thank you! Unlce Alton they've got her meet me at the station!"

Soon Scarlet was back at her and ran into the buildingnearly busting her bottom on the ice several times. "Nova!" "Scarlet!" She ran to her cousin's open arms. "what happen?"

"C-crescent said Santa wasn't real so i left then I seen I was lost...Santa is real isn't he Scarlet?" "Do you believe he is Nova?" "Yes with all my heart." "then he is." She smiled and hugged Scarlet again.

"November!" "Mummy!" Nova ran to her parents." "November is you ever scare us like that agin- oh!" "Crescent Rebecca!" "Hey Nova." Crescent weakly smiled . and both hugged her. "Listen Nova im sorry I didn't mean it." "I know Crescent. " she smiled as he put her down.

"come now." Alton began leading his family out the door thanking the man again . "Mister Arrow?" Alt on stopped and turned and looked back at the man "you have a good family...help them never for get the magic." "Yes sir." Alton smiled slightly and turned to leave.

Later that night ll the kids were getting ready for bed when they herd the sound of Jingle bells and Nova rushed to the window. "Mum! pap! Beca Crescent! it's santa!" all her family came to the window and seen what appeared the be a sleigh being pulled by reindeer but ti was hard to see through the snow.

Amelia looked at Alton as he looked back at her . "Well children it is time for bed. " she said prying Nova from the window.

the next morning it was Christmas once all the gifts were open there were four left addressed to Nova, Rebecca ,Crescent and Alton and Amelias was together.

"what does it say mummy?" Nova asked her mother to read hers it read: Dear November, Thank you for never stop believeing always keep the magic ~S.C

When Crescent opened his it read , Dear Crescent , You've been good this year but your letting the magic slide never do that allow your inner child to return..

"Ha this is what mine says , "

"what is yours and papas?" Nova asked holding her letter tight ."Well lets see." Ameia said unwrapping it.

Dear Mrs. And Mister Arrow ,

As Amelia put away her letter Scarlet walked in with the funniest look on her face. "whats the matter Scar?" Becca asked. "I called Jerrald to ask him to dinner..but he's gone.." "whatdya mean?" "no one knows he just left his two weeks notice and dissappeared.."

Scarlet shrugged, Amelia and Alton looked back at each other " you don't think?"Amelia started "no.." Alton said shaking his head. "Maybe-"

"Mummy papa can we play our new game now?" Nova had gotten a borad game for Christmas called 'Chutes and Ladders.' "Alright Nova you all set it up we wait on Beth." Alton said with a lopsided grin.

She let out a small cheer and ran to the table as Bethany came in a hugged her parents. "What have I missed she asked.

"You have no idea." amelia mumbled as they walked to the table.

they knew thiswould be a Christmas none of them would ever forget...
