So sorry about the wait! Ive been real busy. I recently got a new job and things have just been hectic because ive been tryin to get money together enough to get an apartment with a couple of friends. That, and I recently got into a new tv show that I watched both seasons of in two nights flat.

Snow: *smacks me on the head with her staff* You left me!

Me: Now don't start that. What would Casey say if she found out you hit me?

Snow: *gulps and puts down her staff* Sorry... Just, don't do it again.

Me: *smiles* I'll try not to, promise.

Anyways, here's the next chapter!

Chapter 9: The Last Two Seasonals & Mother Nature

Soon enough, the heat started to get to me again. Not wanting to pass out again, I decided to grab my friends' attention. "Guys we better get back. The sun's getting to me again."

Aurora laughed a little. "Of course don't want you fainting again."

I rolled my eyes but, thankfully, my words had convinced them and we ended up saying our goodbyes before flying back to the Pole.

When we got back to North's workshop, the first thing I did was dive fast first into a large snow drift. The cold made me feel a lot better. When I got back inside, pulling my black hoodie back on, I was curious when I heard what sounded like a one-sided argument. I walked to the main room and saw my friends staring at a tall woman. She had long hair and was dressed very springy.

Standing close to her were two girls. One had blonde hair with magenta highlights styled in two low pigtails. She was wearing a white sleeveless shirt, white shorts with hot pink lining the sides, socks and sandals.

The other girl was taller then the first. She had brown hair with red highlights styled in a bun, and was wearing a red dress, brown belt, and brown boots.

I looked at my parents and my eyes widened. My father's hair wasn't just darkening anymore, it was changing color altogether. The once snow white hair was now streaked with light brown and from what part of his eyes I could see, there were traces of chocolate brown in the ice blue.

My mother's appearance was changing in the same way. Her jet black hair was covered in dark brown streaks and her sapphire eyes were tinged with what looked like emerald green.

Both of my parents skin tones were changing as well. Once alabaster pale skin was slowly turning a similar color that I had seen in my friends, a skin color that was considered healthy among humans. My two colored eyes widened and I ran to my parents.

"Mom?" I questioned. "Dad?" My mother cracked open an eye and managed to put a hand on my cheek.

"Did you talk to Jamie and Maddy?" She asked, her voice weak.

I put my hand on top of hers and nodded slowly. "We did. We also got Caleb, Monty and Sarah on our side." I chuckled half heartedly. "I threw a sloshy snowball at Claude. It hit the back of his head."

My mother chuckled weakly. I heard another weak chuckle, this one coming from my father. "That's my girl."

I quickly wiped away the tears that had sprung to my eyes. My mother's hand fell from my cheek as she and my father lost consciousness again. I turned my attention back to what we had walked in on.

"Okay so who the heck are you three?" I snapped.

Blaze sighed. "That, dear cousin, is Mother Nature." He gestured to the tall woman. "And they," he gestured to the two teenage girls. "Are the last two seasonals. Taylor Spring." He pointed at the blonde girl. "And Saige Fall." He pointed to the brown haired girl.

Dusty smiled. "We should've guessed you'd know them since your the summer seasonal."

Blaze smiled and I groaned. "Don't make his head any bigger then it already is, Dust," I said.

Blaze only shrugged then turned to Mother Nature. "What are you doing here, Mother?"

Mother Nature seemed to only just now noticed we were here. When she faced Blaze, a wide smile broke out on her face. "Blaze! There you are! I got concerned when I couldn't find you."

"Why be concerned? It's still winter. It's not time for me to bring summer."

"That's one reason I'm here." Mother Nature began. "I noticed that Jack hasn't caused his usual "beginning of winter" blizzard. So I came here and found the Guardians, my little winter seasonal, as well as my forest spirit and water spirit laying here. Manny told me everything and that he had now chosen you all, including Taylor and Saige, as new Guardians."

I crossed my arms.

Aurora looked at MN. "And, sorry for being rude, but what is the problem with that?"

"Well, I don't like the idea of my seasonals, Narain, Casey, you and little Snow," my eye twitched at the word "little". "Fighting the Mistress of Deception."

"No offense," I said. "But we're more then capable of handling ourselves. Aurora is the daughter of the Easter bunny and the spirit of the forest. I'm the daughter of the winter spirit and water spirit."

Aurora and Dusty nodded in agreement, Dusty speaking up again. "I have to agree with Snow. We're all perfectly able to handle ourselves and "your" seasonals are allowed to make their own choice if they help or not."

I smirked, then glared at MN. "Oh and by the way, I'm NOT little! I'm just small for my age."

That got a laugh out of nearly everyone except the one I'd snapped at. Looking at my parents, I saw the faintest of smiles on their lips, or maybe that was my imagination. (It's very vivid you know.)

MN sighed defeatedly. "I suppose you're all right. You're very powerful and capable children. Considering what went on when Pitch returned, I suppose there's nothing I can do."

Aurora, Dusty and I smiled at each other. Blaze, I saw, nodded in approval, though him I ignored.

The spring and fall seasonals walked up to us, well, Blaze mostly, and they smiled at him. "So this is where you've been hiding." Taylor said.

"Mother was getting worried." Saige said.

"She didn't need to." Blaze said. "I was just looking for my aunt."

"Did you find her?" Taylor asked.

Blaze nodded. "I did. She and Jack have a little girl named Snow, though she doesn't like me that much."

"He abandoned my mother." I snapped, putting my staff in the red sash on my back and crossing my arms angrily. "Just like Manny abandoned both her and my dad."

The spring and fall seasonals opened their mouths, no doubt wanting to correct me, but Blaze held up a hand and shook his head. He finally got it. I wasn't going to trust him for quite a while.

So here it is. The last two seasonals have finally been introduced. Both were created by 2 of my younger cousins. I thought they were very creative. I hope you think so too. Don't worry, youll see more of them.

And we see Snow STILL doesn't care at all for Blaze. I know i'm being mean to him right now, but don't worry, Snow will get over her dislike soon enough. It just makes for an interesting conflict right now.

Read and Review please and again i'm sorry I kept you waiting!
