Here we go again!

J's POV

I laugh as she flies off with him then I locked myself in my room. I think of Draco he was so familiar but from where. I sigh as I sit on my window sill wondering why he looked so sad the last time I saw him. I fingered the chain around my neck and I wonder how I got it. I've had it for as long as I can remember and I can't remember past the time when I woke up 10 years old in the hospital after being struck by lightning. Lightning, I wasn't sure how it happened, the doctors said I was out in a storm, but some how I knew it was wrong.

I sigh the only thing I remember from before waking up was a flash of white light and then nothing. When I woke, I was laying on a cot in a sterile white room. They said I'd nearly died, but the doctors had saved me. The next day this girl was rushed in and she nearly died twice apparently she was stuffed in a freezer. That girl was Casey she was annoying back then. When they released us we were took to the orphanage. She had an aunt who came for her but I had no one so I just started taking care of the other kids.

Although she never talked about her past, Casey started stopping in once a week, to help me with the smaller kids, reading them stories and myths… Eventually we became friends and when I had to go a way to work for a whole summer I came back and she had made some other friends and eventually they to became mine. I smiled in fond remembrance. I watch the sunset with a feeling deja vu like I've done this before. Casey walks in, "Hey," she says, looking flushed, ahhh, young love.

"Hey," I say still thinking. "If he ever does that again, I'm gonna kill him," she grumbles. "He's immortal, you idiot," I smirk, finally looking up. "Then I'll destroy him," she says. "Do you ever get the feeling that something like this has happened before?" I ask. "Yeah, actually," she says. "I mean ever since this stuff started I keep getting deja vu," I say. "Me too, but it's like it happened to someone else, and I'm just seeing it through her eyes," she ponders. "Like when we were captured I swear I knew Pitch and that guy Draco from somewhere but I'm not sure where I just know there's a lot of deja vu," I say. "Exactly," she says.

Rin's POV

I can swear, its almost like I know this place like the back of my hand. It was strange like I've been here before but I haven't, not to my memory. I walk in and Andrew takes my hand, "Hey, Rinny," he smiles. "Hey, babe," I greet. "Do you ever feel like you've been here before?" I ask him. "Like I could walk it blindfolded," he confirms. "Yep," I say. We go to J's room and Casey is already there. "Hey, lover girl," Andrew teases. "Enough already, guys," she sighs.

J smirks "so what's up?" she asks. "We were talking about how all this seems so familiar," I say. "Yeah we were too," J says. I notice Casey fiddling with a little bottle on a cord that is hanging around her neck, in the little bottle is a perfect snowflake. "Hey, that's the necklace I found at Pitch's lair," Maggie says.

"Yeah Jack gave it too me," Casey smirks. "I think it's sweet," Jamie defends, walking in with Michael. J rolled her eyes "whatever," she says. Casey turns a bright shade of pink. "Shut up," she mutters. "Jamie, are there any stories about mortal guardians?" Casey asked, "Hmmm, not to my knowledge, one of the others might know," he answers, "I'll ask Jack," he says.

That night we all fell asleep in J's room, accidentally, of course. And I had a strange dream. "You ready, Rinny?" asked Andrew, I looked over and my eyes widened, he was wearing what appeared to be an outfit made completely of living plants. "Woah," this dream was confusing.

Casey's POV

Earlier that day, Jack had to leave, to spread winter over the world, so I just stayed in J's room. I fell asleep and dreamt about my past, I knew what Pitch was doing, he was trying to break me by forcing me to relive the most terrifying thing that has ever happened to me, but I guess you need to know what happened to understand. It was mentioned earlier that I lost my parents at a young age, but it never said how.

When I was eight, two days before my ninth birthday, a man broke into my house at night and forced me to watch as he killed both of my parents, after they were both dead, he stuffed me in the trunk of his car and kidnaped me. When the car stopped, in the middle of the woods, he pulled me out of the trunk and bound me with duct tape. It was terrifying, he carried me to a cabin in the middle of the woods, he locked me up and and removed my clothes, I was young and innocent, I didn't know what this man was doing to me, just that it hurt and I wanted him to stop. When he was finished with me, he wrapped me in a blanket and carried me to an outside shed, where he chained me up, he kept me for a few more weeks, until he got bored. When he got bored, he came for me and unchained me, I'll never forget the words he said, "It'll all be over soon, little one," little did I know what over meant to him, when we got to the shed, he opened the door to a large chest freezer, locking me in there, I don't know how long it was before the cops found me, it could have been seconds, it could have been days. All I knew was that I wanted it to be over, they rushed me to the hospital, where I met J.

Now Pitch was forcing me to relieve that pain. I woke to Jack, shaking me awake, the others stood around me, looking concerned. Jack wrapped his arms around me, trying to calm me down, but I pulled away, it brought back the memory of the nightmare. I sobbed. "Hey, it's okay, I'm right here," he murmured, stroking my hair, lightly. "Do you want to talk about it?" he asked, I shook my head, sobbing into his hoodie, "I've heard it helps," he offered, again, my head whipped up, "Yes, because talking about the man who made me watch as he killed my parents, kidnaped me, raped me and locked me in a freezer is really going to make me feel better," I snapped, getting up and leaving the room, not caring that they all knew what I had worked so hard to hide.

J's POV

"Okay, I knew about the freezer part because I was in the hospital when they brought her, but not about the rest of it," I say. We were staring at where she had stormed out, sobbing. "Jack you go calm her," I say. "What? Why me?" he asks. "Because she Likes you. Idiot the last time she was like this I tried and she tried to punch, much less risk with you," I tell him. He sighs and follows after her, "Wow, I never knew all that…" Rin trails off. "Thats because she worked so hard to hide it," I muttered, I can't believe I never saw it before, the way she hid under a broken smile.

"Jeez I hide some serious stuff to so you'd think I'd have realized," I mutter to myself. "She didn't tell because she knew we would react this way, she didn't want us to look at her like a wounded animal," Maggie whispers. "I know the feeling," I say. North walked in, "Vat happened?" he demanded. "Nothing out of the ordinary," I say, sharing a glance with the others, this was not our secret to tell.

Later that day I was sitting in my window again thinking when Casey showed up. "Hey you okay?" I ask. "I'm fine," she muttered, "Look, I didn't say because I couldn't stand to have everyone look at me like… Like a dead animal for the rest of my life, but it hurt to keep it in, pick your poison though, I guess," she sighed. "It's okay, I get it, kid," I smiled, "I guess that's one of the reasons I liked you so much, even if you didn't know, you understood," she smiled.
