hey guys. sad moment in my history. My chemical romance, my favorite band, called it quits. my heart just withered up and died. but i'll still write. without my muse... snflsnfl. well, here's chapter three. i'm listening to them like crazy right now. i might overdose on them. heh.

Someplace good

i don't remember actually arriving at the place that he had said was good. i just remember it being cold, very very cold. but then it was warm. there was the sound of little bells, and something that made warbling sounds. then another voice, very deep, with a russian accent. "Ah, my boy! oh... what is it you have here?" "North, she's, well, i'll explain later, just, is there a room ready for her?" "No, but there will be. Dingle! Prepare room for guest!" a bell jingled and a pattering of feet was the response. i remember the sensation of being carried up stiars, then my head hit a pillow, and i was out. i drifted in and out of sleep, only glimpses of my surroundings, and i honestly can't remember which were dreams and which were reality. finally, one day, reality was able to grab a firm hold on me. i got up. my hair was a mess, and i had that light headed/ head-achey feeling you get when you're sick and you got up too quick. i was in a pair of pajamas. with a blanket wrapped around me, i headed for the door, and out into a hallway. everything, the walls, the floor, everything was wood, and it smelled like pine and netmeg and cinnamon, and paint. i heard a little jingle and looked down to see a little creature with pointy ears, shorter than my knee. it looked up at me, and i down at it. there was a pause, then it ran down the hall at lightning speed, tripping the whole way. i followed it, slowly. things still danced if i moved to quickly.i followed it out into a balcony area. i looked down. there were little creatures like the one i had followed, and big hairy ones with pony tails and mustaches. they were dashing around, busy. i didn't get long to look, because the thing was getting away. i speed walked after it. it reached a round cage like thing, running between the bars. i jumped after it, just as it pulled a lever. the contraption shot down. i held back my scream. we landed. it ran away. i followed after it. it ran through the scene i had watched from above. i followed it, till i came to a room with a large fireplace, what looked like control panels, and a humongous globe, dotted with little lights. Am i in Dr. evil's lair? i looked around at my surroundings, having caught the creature by its pointy hat. "Woah. Hey there... I see you're awake now." said a voice. i jumped. i turned around. there was a boy standing behind me. he was barefoot, sported brown leggings and a blue hoodie. he had a sheperd's crook, like mary had a little lamb. he also had white hair, and blue, crystalline eyes. " Where am i?" i asked. "Well, ah... the north pole?" i nodded. "What's this?" i asked, holding out the creauture. the boy laughed. "That, my friend, is an elf. annoying little things." he said. "oh. i see." i looked around. " Who are you?" "Me? I'm Jack." he said. i nodded. "what am i doing here?" "Well, that's a long story only you know really. Come on. Let's get something to eat." he sai, offering me his hand. i took it. it was freezing cold. he led me through a hallway. i could smell food. we walked into a room, and i took in my surroundings. a long, thick wood table stratched from wall to wall. at the end farthest, there was a cluster of plates and cups. there were the hairy creatures, serving food. at the chairs, sat a gaint, man-like bunny. sitting next to him, was a little gold man. and across from him, was a gaint humming bird with human hands and a human face. and at the head of the table sat a big jolly man with a long white beard. i looked at them all. "Heh. Guys. She's up." said jack. the big man lookedup,as did the others. "Ah-ha-ha! Finaly, she is awake! Come,come sit with us! you must be hungry!" my stomach growled. i nodded. they laughed. a plate was set for me, and Jack pulled out my chair. i sat down, and realizing how hungry i actually was, began to eat. when i had my fill, the others looked at me. " So, tell us. what do you remember?" they asked. i thought fora little bit. then i shook my head no. "Okay... Do you remember your name at least?" i thought. "no." i shook my head again. "Well, then i guess we'll just have to give you one, what would you like?" i thought. a namecame to me. Leah... "Leah."i said. "leah it is then." "Introductions are in order, yes? This is Tooth, the Toothfairy. Bunny, th Easter Bunny, Sandy, the Sandman, I am North, Santa claus. and this is Jack Frost." he said, pointing each of them out at a time. i waved to them. they smiled. "Come! I give you grand tour!" "North, don't you think she should get dressed first, maybe wake up a little?" said Tooth. "Oh, yes. Of course." Tooth got up from her chair. her gossamer wings started buzzing as she flew around to me. "Come on sweetie, i've got some dresses that look about your size. North?" "yes." he pulled out a shook it, and said "Tooth Palace." a giant swirling portal opened up. Tooth pushed me towards it softly. i walked through, and she, plus Jack Frost followed. "Jack?why'd you come?" "i don't know." "Well, youcan't follow us." she said, leading me away. i glanced back at him, before turning away and looking around. everything was golden andmosiac andsparkly and there were hundreds of little tooth fairies flying around. tooth led me down a hall and into a room. there was a large circular, plushy bed,which i sat at the end of. she flew over to a large gilded Warddrobe. she openit,and colorful dresses burst outward. "take your pick hon. i think you wouldlook beautiful inblue,or maybe purple?" she said. i got up, and walked over to the wardrobe and looked at all. the dresses. they were all feathery, but were very pretty. i picked out a blue one that shimmered green in the light. "Good pick! Go try it on!' she said. i took the dress out, and went behind a screen. i changed out of the pjs, and into the dress. it fit perfectly, coming down to a curve at my knees. i came out. "Oh, you look adorable!" she gushed. she led me back out to where jack was. he saw me, and paused. "W-wow. you sure... ah, um. you sure clean up good." he said, clearing his throat. i giggled. "Come on Leah. Let's go back." shesaid. we all went back to North's.

that was two years ago. i had, in those two years, remained at the pole, and sometimes at the Tooth Palace. I went by Leah, and all i knew was that name, and the guardians. i would help bunny with eater, North with chistmas, and Tooth with her teeth. Jack was a constant at my side. i was content. that is, until i happened across something at Tooth's. i would polish some of the teeth holders, cuz some of them would get tarnished. i was cleaning one. i finished it, then went to go grab another. when my fingers met with it, i got shocked. i pulled my hand away, then, holding the cloth i used to clean between my skin and the container,i picked it up. i looked at the picture on the front. the girl on it looked familair. i touched her face, and the container opened.

"wyntia. Be careful!" "yes mom!" cried a young girl as she ran off onto the playground. *New scene* the girl,now slightly older, sat in a waiting room. A nurse came out. "zWinter Storm?" "Wyntia. yes?" "She's ready for you." the girl got up and walked into a hospital room. a woman, an older version of the girl, laid in the bed, holding a small bundle. the girl walked over to her. "O, mama! I was so worried!" the woman smiled. "You don't have to at him 't he... adorable?" asked the woman tiredly. the girl took the baby in her arms. he gurgled. she cooed at him. "yes,he is. whats his name?" but the girl didn't see the woman, her mom, close her eyes. "Mama? Mama?!" the machines start going off, poeple rush in, forcing the girl and the baby out. then everything is silent. "She' s gone." they say. the girl is crying. "No! Mama! you can't leave! Mama!" she cries. *New scene* the girl comes in through the front door. er father is passed out on the couch, brown bottles of alcohol on the floor. she hears a sound, and discovers her baby brother is laying in his crib, choking. she grabs him, and when her father wouldn't wake, ran out of the house. she ran all the way to the hospital. she saved his life. *new scene* Her father is in a mood, one of his drunk moods. he's angry. he's swinging his arms around, yelling. he's going for the boy, who's now five. he's cowering under a bed. the man pullshim out, throwing himagainst the wall. he's about to hit him. the boy is scared. the girl comes home, sees what's happening, and runs in front of the boy, just as her father brings down his hand comes down. she holds back the tears, her face already red. * New Scene* the girl clocks out of one job, gets on her bike, and rides across town to another job, just barely making it on time. her boss is yelling at her. she takes it all in, not a sound of protest. she gets her pay check. its very poor. *New scene* the girl is alone, in her room, crying. she's holding a blade, a razor blade. her arm is bleeding, a thin line across her arm. *new scene* the girl walks through the school halls. no one talks to her. no one looks at her. she walks through town. no one looks at her, no one talks to her. they look away from her, with her sleeves pulled down. she goes into a coffee shop. a girl is behind the counter, and takes her order. the girl takes her drink and sits by the window. the cash register girl comes over, smiling, and is talking to her. Her name is leah. *new scene* the girl is walking in a park with her little brother. she lets him go play on the playground. she sits down by an old man. he satrs talking to her, and she's listening. he's talking about his wife, isadora. *new scene* the girl is walking towards a ledge. she's a little older now. she's talking to someone. it's jack. she's talking to jack. "Right now." she says, answering a question. she jumps off the ledge.

I gasped, sucking in a sharp breath of air. that was me! i could remember everything now! how i got here, my family, my friends, and why i ended up here. i let go of the box. Oh god. i got up, abandoning my chores. i ran out and found Jack. "Jack! Jack!" "yeah. what is it Leah?" he came down to my level. "Wyntia. My name was Wyntia. Jack, i remember. and i have to go back." i said. he looked at me. "What?" he asked. "i remember! i was cleaning the boxes, and one of them... Jack, i remember! i have to go back!" i said. he grabbed my hand. "We have to tell North." he took me back to the pole. we told north. he was glad i could remember. "You must go back immediatly! they need to see you're okay." he said. "But north!" jack objected. North took jack behind a door.

* 3rd pers. POV*

North shut the door. "Look. Jack. I know you like her. Bu-" "But what? you already know how i found her! there must have been a reason why! that reason is back in her old life! if she goes back, then she might try it again! she's happy here! you're the one who said she could stay here!" jack said, anger in his face. "I know i said that Jack, but things have changed. She has her memory now, she has a family now. do you really think she'd want to stayhere, and be happy, when she knows there are people missing her? i am sorry Jack, but she must go. now that is final." he said, leaving. Jack waited in the room for a moment. he never counted on her getting her memory back. he had only wanted to protect her. to keep her. and now she was being ripped from his hands. he banged his fist against the wall. he wouldn't let her get hurt. not agian. he got his anger undercontrol, and headed back out. the others were already there, in the sleigh. he hopped in.

* Wyntia's POV*

the sleigh pulled to a stop in a foot ball feild by the coffee shop. it was the middle school's, but it was empty. weekend. i got out. Jack hopped out after me, as did the others. they were invisible. they had explained. i spotted the shop door. it was glass, and i looked inside. Leah was n tere. i rubbed my shoulder. it was cold. Jack took off his hoodie. he actually wore a shirt underneath. it was much older looking. he handed me the hoodie. i slipped it on, and pulled the hood up. i chickened out. "Maybe it was someone else's life i saw." "Sorry sweetie, but only the person whose memories those are can see them. theirs yours." said tooth. i swallowed. "Okay. i...i have to do this on my own." i said. i walkedinto the coffee shop and got in line. i pulled the hood more to cover my face. it was my turn. " K, what would you like hon?" she asked. "Double chocolate chip latte, extra sprinkles." i said, reciting the line i had been mentally practicing since i remembered. she paused when she heard my order. she shook her head and started making it.i moved to the side, waiting for my drink. she handed it to me. "here you go hon." she said. "Thank you... Leah." i said. i looked up, revealing my face to her shocked one. "W-wyntia?" i smiled at her sheepishly. "Boss! i'm taking a break!" she calledback. she took my hand, and led me to table at thefar corner, where we used to sit. "Is it really you, Wyntia?" she asked."Yes." "But... the news,and your letter." "did they ever find a body?" "no... how?" "Let's just say...a guardian angel was watching over me that day." i sad. she shook her head slowly, her eyes wide. "why...why...did you do it?" " i... idon't know. life was just... hard. but its better now." i said. "Where have you been? It's been two years Wyntia." "I... i've been recovering. in a way. My guardian, took me someplace good, till i could get better." "Well, wherever they took you, you look a lot different." she said. "Leah,i've been gone two is everyone?" i asked. i was afriad of the answer. " Well, Ricky and i are engaged."she said,holding up her hand, where a diamond ring sat. " Good. i'm happy for you." "And Old john? Still sitting out there at the park. And you're dad." i winced. i was afriad. "Has realy cleaned up. got himself a good job. been sober for a year and a half. your brother, top of his class. they'll be so glad you're back. you are back, right? you're staying, right?"she asked, worried. "I... don't know yet." i said. "There's a lot going on right now. i didn't even remember any of this until recently. i had amnesia of sorts. my Guardians kept me safe until i remembered." "I'm sorry- Your guardians? you keep saying that? who are they?" "Um... i can't say a lot. there's five of them. one of them is my... my best friend. His name's Jack." i said. she still looked unsettled. "Leah, don't worry. they took care of me. and now i am back." i said. "it's just. we buried an empty coffin. we cried and mourned for you. and now you're here, sitting in front of me. its like a dream. or like you're a ghost." "i assure you, i am alive and real." i said. "And... i would love to see everyone. when do you get off?" "Right now, actually. give me a minute and we'll be outta here." she got her coat and purse, and checked out. we left. the guardians were all by the sleigh. they waved at me, and i waved back. Jack flew over to me. the others stayed behind. i smiled at him. "Who'd you wave to?" asked leah. "Huh? oh, um. No one..." i said. we walked on to the park. John was sitting in our old bench. i walked up to him, my hood back up and pulled tight around my face. "Isadora?" he asked. he was more aged than i remembered. "No, Johnny." i said, pulling the hood down. " Winter! Am i dead?" he asked. i laughed softly. "No, johnnny. I'm alive. I never died." "But.. we saw the clip on the news. you sying you faked your own death? Isa did that to me once. man, did i feel bad. why you gone an done that?" he asked. "I didn't plan on faking it. i meant to. but someone saved me. they helped me get better till i could come back." i said. he smiled, whistling. "I knew yous wasn't a casual. i knew its. but did they listen to me? na! who gonna listen to an old man?" he laughed. i laughed with him. "I'm glad you're back girl. been missing my old friend. You ain't leaving again, are you?" he asked. "i don't know." i said. "well, have you been over to your old man yet?" i shook my head. "Then let's go!" he said, getting up, steadying himself on his bamboo cane. i hooked my arm through his, and we headed back to Leah's car. we pulled up into the old driveway. the house looked newer than i remembered. i pulled up my hood again, obscuring my face. i dont know why i did it, but i did. the door opened, and the hall light spilled out on us. John and Leah stood in front of me. a man, whom i did not recognize, but resembled my father, said. "Leah, John! its good to see you! what brings you by?" he asked. he was clean shaven, fresh, nice clothes. his words were clear, not slurred at all. his eyes were clear, and he didnt stagger. he stood straight. "Actually..." started leah. "Funny story. there's someone who wants to meet you." finished john. "Really? Who?" he asked. they moved aside. i stepped into veiw. "Hello...dad." i said, removing the hood. "Wyntia?"
