Hello everyone! Turns out that at the place we're staying at has wifi and I can use it! Yes, Moonlight, the long haired girl is Nessie (who else would it be?) and the short haired guy is Drac. It's okay 3mee, I'm glad that you were able to finally get back on. True, Jack is hot but *whispers* I think Baby Tooth might have a thing for him. You never know, she might have a few tricks up her sleeve *evil smile* I already have, *sarcastic* nothing like seven hours in a car with nothing else to do to get the creative juices flowing! 3mee, I agree with them...UPDATE! No more cookies for you unless you update!

Now that that's finished, Moonlight gets a cookie for giving me the anti-North's stealing machine! Now to the story!

-Back to Nessie-

It had been a long day, and I was eager to head back to my Loch to make sure that the monster was okay. Pitch saw that I couldn't keep still and argued with Sandy for a bit. I heard a few words, but not anything to keep my attention from trying to hear her. I was starting to get worried when Pitch touched my arm and started pushing me towards the tunnels. Not daring to look back, I ran out to the entrance and towards my Loch, thankful that Dracula's 'hidey-hole' was close to it. Of course, Pitch followed me.

The monster was restless, but still wouldn't let me into her head to let me know what was wrong. When I got to my Loch she settled down a little bit, but still wouldn't let me in. I sighed and turned to Pitch, "Thanks for what you did back there."

He smiled at me, "Not a problem. How is she?"

I looked down at the water of my Loch and sighed again, "She's fine now, but I'm not sure what she was worried about…" Noticing my reflection I trailed off. Instead of my hair being one shade of blue, which it had been the first time I became an immortal, it was different shades of blue with green streaks through it. The blue was almost white at the top and almost black at the bottom. My eyes were the same blue they were before, but with green around the pupil and a light blue around the iris.

Pitch looked at me, confused, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing. Just admiring my new look," I told him, not looking up from my reflection.

He laughed, "I should probably go, if that's all you needed." I nodded at him. When he left, I sighed, sat on my stump, and closed my eyes.

A few minutes after, I heard strange grumbling sounds and loud footsteps coming closer. I didn't move, but I kept tabs on them. They got quiet when they saw me and tried to sneak up on me, but since I knew that they were there, I made sure of my escape route while they walked up behind me. I dodged it when it made a grab for me and turned around to face two surprised Yetis from the North Pole. One of them held open a sack and they were both frozen. They grumbled at each other and apparently decided to try again.

"What the heck?" I mused aloud, dodging the Yeti that tried to grab me again, and I stepped into the water of my Loch. He tried to grab at me once again, talking gibberish to the other one that was holding the sack open, and was met with a deafening roar from the monster as she broke the surface of the water to protect me. The two Yetis stumbled backwards, turned around, and opened a portal as fast as they could. I just stared, confused, at the portal as it closed. Hearing about North kidnapping someone is one thing, but I didn't think the old man was crazy enough to try to kidnap me! I sighed and went over to the monster, trying to calm her down and put her back to sleep. She had become restless ever since I was brought back, like something was bothering her; but whenever I tried to see what it was, she pushed me out.

Suddenly, it dawned on me that she was probably worried that I'd forget about her if I left. I hugged her before the water started glowing.

I sighed and touched the glowing spot, "Aye."

There was a pause before Drac asked, "Ness?"

"Drac? What's wrong? Did the overgrown hairy blubbering fools get you? Are you with the ignorant old fool that sent them?" I growled, knowing that North could hear me. Not very smart, I know, but I was angry.

I could hear the smile in his voice as he replied, "Subtle is not your color today, how about I tell you what happened? Yes, the Yetis surprise attacked. No, I wasn't hurt. Yes, I was shoved in a sack, thrown in a portal, and told I am a new Guardian. No, I didn't accept the job. Yes, the Jolly Old Fool is listening. No, he's not listening to Sandy. Anything I should add?" He paused and continued in a joking jovial tone, "Oh, yeah! You and Pitch were chosen to be Guardians too, but the Yetis sent after you two came back empty-handed and the Jolly Old Fool is pretty mad."

Pitch was suddenly behind me, "Ah, so that's why I was being chased by those hairballs."

I nodded, "Fine. We're on our way," and took my hand off of the water before Drac could make a comeback. Sighing, I pet the monster and reassured her that I would be back.

After it seemed like I was done, Pitch held out his hand. I took it and, without another word, he led me through a shadow. It was dark, but my fear was dulled to a dull roar as something brushed beside me and gave me enough courage to keep walking with Pitch. The journey seemed longer than it may have been, but after a while of walking we reached the inside of Santa's Workshop. Of course, we stayed quiet and snuck up behind them.

"You called?" Pitch asked, leaving me in the shadow. The Guardians turned around so fast I thought they would get whiplash.

"Where's the other one?" a white haired boy, Jack Frost, asked nonchalantly leaning on his stick.

"Who, Nessie? She's around," Pitch answered in the same tone, looking around the workshop, "Really nice place you have here, North. Be a shame if someone 'stole Christmas' again."

I silently laughed at the joke as North ground his teeth and started arguing with Pitch. Drac inched his way over to where I was still hidden in the shadows, "So, how was your day?" he muttered under his breath.

"Getting better all the time," I whispered to him, "How was yours?"

"Bad, but it's better now that you're here." I smiled when he said that, not noticing that our conversation wasn't overlooked by a couple of people. Sandy floated over to where we were talking and he was followed by Jack Frost.

"So…Nessie, is it?" Jack whispered to where I was.

"Yes, Frosty. I'm Nessie. Nice to meet you," I whispered back to him.

"…'Frosty?'" He whispered, holding his chest like he had been hit, "That hurts, Nessie."

I sighed and rolled my eyes, even though I knew that he couldn't see me, "Stop being a drama king and take it like a man, Frosty, maybe you'll earn a different nickname when I know you better."

Jack chuckled, "It's a deal."

Sorry if there's any mistakes, I forgot to have my sister check it. Oh, she's read parts of it, like the part where Nessie steps into her Loch, and helped me with the insults.

Here's a challenge to anyone with skills (*cough* Moonlight *cough*): I want you guys to try to make a picture of Nessie! You can try to send it through a pm, or you can pm me for my facebook and send it to me that way.

Please leave a review, it helps me know what you all think and also gets a response in the next chapter as well as virtual treats!
