"So where do you think your parents live?"

"I'm not sure, but we should be able to find a sign."

"Okay, Sophie, let's search for a sign!"

"Yay!"

Fran giggled as she watched the two run off to find a sign of where her parents might live. She wished she was a little kid again.

Then she stopped thinking as she saw a black sprite flitting around her. The sprite giggled before it gestured for her to follow it. Becoming entranced, she does.

Tooth and Sandy searched everywhere for Francesca, they were running out of time though. It was already two minutes until the sun set, and they needed to bring her back fast.

"Oh, where could she be?" Tooth asked in alarm.

Sandy looked around before he spotted Jamie and Sophie running around, and seeing this chance, he grabbed the Tooth Fairy's arm and pulled her towards the children.

"Tooth Fairy, Sandman!" Jamie shouted in surprise.

"Jamie, have you seen a girl named Francesca anywhere?" Tooth asked in worry.

"Well, yeah, she's right he-" But just as he had pointed behind him, he saw that Fran wasn't with them. "Where'd she go? She was with us a minute ago."

Tooth and Sandy began to panic at this.

"We have to find her! Do you know where you saw her last?"

"Well, she was two blocks away over there. That's also like three more blocks away from an old house that's said to have an old spinning wheel in it."

The guardians eyes widened in shock.

"Oh, no!"

With that, they sprinted off towards the house.

Meanwhile, Francesca kept on following the sprite into the house and up a flight of stairs to the tower.

"Francesca!" Tooth yelled, hoping she could hear her within the house.

The sprite opened the door of the tower, and there was the old spinning wheel with its spindle. Entranced, Francesca began to walk towards it with her arm reached forward.

"No, Francesca!" Tooth yelled as they went up the stairs. "Don't touch anything!"

Francesca seemed to hear Tooths voice and pulled her hand back from the spindle.

"Touch the spindle, my little one... Touch it, I say..."

Francesca seemed to listen to the dark voice and touched the spindle with her finger. But as she did this, black sand began to engulf her body.

Tooth and Sandy had finally made it to the top, but they were too late. Francesca had fallen to the floor, unconcious.

"Oh, no!" Tooth said as she went to her side.

Sandy came to her other side and stroked her face in sadness. The guardians could practically hear Pitch laughing in the darkness.

Tooth had started crying when Bunnymund and North had come in and looked at Francescas unconcious body in shock and anguish.

"We were too late," Tooth sobbbed. "She touched the spindle."

A hand came down onto the girls hair and stroked it softly. They all looked to see that Father Time had come.

"Time, what must we do?" North asked.

"It is time," Time replied.

"But what about Fran?" Tooth asked. "How are we supposed to protect her from Pitch while she's asleep?"

"Take her to the Castle of Time. She'll be safe there..."

And so they took Francesca to the Castle of Time and placed her sleeping form into the tower. Every creature that ever existed gathered to the chamber in sorrow. The elves jingled their bells while the fairies placed flowers onto her bedsides.

"Cupid, have you ever found a match for Francesca so he could break the spell?" he asked St. Valentine, a.k.a. Cupid.

The angel-winged boy shook his head. "Not yet, but I think I'm getting there."

"Good. Let's hope whoever can be Francescas true love, that he can break the spell..."

Little did they know, that at that very moment, her true love was trying to look for her with his snowflake crown in his hands.
