"How long have we been flying?" Scarlet asks almost falling asleep.
"A few hours, give or take." Emma says looking tired herself.
"We'll be there soon… Just don't fall to sleepy land." Jack says fiddling with his staff.
"How come you're not tired?" Scarlet asks guessing it was easy for him to fly around more than Emma.
"I don't know… I can control air and ice and Jack only controls one."
"I wonder that, too… Maybe since you control three elements and can heal things maybe you're not as good in a certain category. I mean I'm completely ice and that has wind it. You control fire, ice, air, and healing giving half the elements in flying."
"First of all, how do you know that? Second of all, fire can make someone fly. Third of all, you're becoming freaky with this stuff on me that I don't even know." Emma says looking ahead and scanning for something.
"I've been doing my homework? Have you?" Jack says almost laughing.
"I know for a fact you have way less time to do that in the day so either you've been giving an instant learning thing from Santa or you are freezing time and studying. Both of which are very unlikely."
"Has anyone forgotten about me?" Scarlet asked interrupting their unneeded conversation.
"I know you're there and that's why I'm looking for the workshop." Emma said smiling for the first time at Scarlet in almost a meaningless way.
"Workshop?" Scarlet asks having no idea about the topic.
"Right… You don't know about us… This is Santa's workshop… He makes toys there for kids and leaves them on Christmas."
"What's Christmas?"
"Someone needs a reality check…" Emma mumbled under her breathe.
"Just because I didn't' know about you doesn't mean I can't!" Scarlet says offended.
"I'm just saying it's strange that you never knew… Even if Pitch hates us…"
"I think we're here." Jack says as Scarlet looks ahead and sees a huge building.
"Wow!" Scarlet says breathlessly. "I've never seen anything so big!"
"If you like it out here, you'll love it in there." Jack says motioning for Emma to follow.
"Why aren't we going towards the front door?" Scarlet asks staring at the two fuzzy creatures standing at it.
"There's another way in and I won't need to deal with the yetis." Emma says.
"Do they not like you or something?" Scarlet asks.
"No… They don't like Jack and since I'm mostly like him they don't like either of us…"
"We also won't need to explain why you're with us." Jack says landing on a balcony.
"Am I a burden or something?" Scarlet asks in a softer voice as she lets go of Emma.
"Not at all… They don't like people who aren't guardians here… I'm the exception."
"I'm guessing because of Jack?"
"That and the fact that I beat Pitch up and I am not going to let some furry yetis get in my way." Emma tells Scarlet as she swings her staff around freezing one of the balcony rails.
"Jack! Emma! What an unexpected surprise!" A big man in trousers says as he walks out on to the balcony.
"AH!" Scarlet screams and runs behind Emma.
"… And who is your little friend?" The big man says looking at Scarlet.
"Let's just say Pitch is trying to get her and she's immortal, too."
"Pitch? I though he was back in his hole?"
"He apparently had a friend…" Jack says motioning towards Scarlet.
"Would you like a cookie?" The big man asks Scarlet, who just cowers more behind Emma.
"Pitch raised her and says you and the other guardians are bad and will kill her." Emma says before the man would ask why she was scared.
"I wouldn't dream of it!" The man says loud enough for the whole North Pole to hear.
"You…" Scarlet begins to say, but changes her mind.
"I'm Santa, but you can call me North." The man named North says.
"I'm Scarlet…" Scarlet tells North.
"Would you like something to drink? You look half frozen."
"Sure…" Scarlet says timidly knowing he might be trying to try her.
"Would you like a blanket, too?" North says motioning for Scarlet to take his hand.
"I guess…" Scarlet says as she slowly reaches for his hand ready to run if he shows any sign of hurting her.
"He wouldn't hurt you. He wants to help you." Emma says in a tone that would convince anybody to do something.
"If you say…" Scarlet says taking North's hand and walking with him.
"I wonder why she trusts us more than North?" Emma asks Jack.
"She did learn that we were evil."
"I mean she acts like she's hiding something or someone…"
"You're always over protective. Just let her adjust and she'll see we mean her no harm."
"I hope that's what will happen..."
"She'll be fine…" Jack says putting his staff over his shoulder and walking in.
"Sometimes I wish that he was always right…" Emma thinks to herself.
"I usually am…" Jack says back to her.
"I hate you…" Emma says getting annoyed that Jack always could hear her thoughts and walked in.
"What's this?" Scarlet asks looking at one of the elves.
"It's an elf. They help me around here." North says eating a cookie.
"Cool… How do they work?" Scarlet says picking one of them up and shaking him.
"Not like that." North says taking the elf out of her hands and placing him on the ground. "Would you like some sleep?" North says looking at her tired expression.
"Yeah…" Scarlet says looking exhausted.
"Well come on… I can let you stay in one of the rooms if you like."
"Alright…" Scarlet says following North to a room.
"This can be your room." North says opening a door which lead into a big bedroom.
"Thank you." Scarlet says walking into the room, but not turning on the light.
"Don't you want some light?" North asks from the doorway.
"I'm good… I like the darkness, since I've lived in it my whole life." Scarlet says lying down onto the bed.
"Alright…" North says closing the door behind him.
