I fluttered down the stairs, searching for Kayla. We were supposed to have a meeting ten minutes ago, and she wasn't normally this late. I walked onto the balcony, where Tia and Kiera were talking. I cleared my throat, "Have either of you seen Kayla today? She's not in her room."

Tia shook her head, but Kiera nodded, "She went out to spread some dreams a few hours ago. I think it was in Australia."

I nodded, "Thanks, do you want to help me look?"

They both nodded, and the three of us flew off, thankful that Tia could still handle warmth. We drifted over the large country, looking for dream sand. As we searched, Kiera and I collected teeth. In one of the homes however, I found some dream sand left behind. She would never leave that much behind, even if she was just starting. I flew to a nearby house and saw the same thing. In fact, the whole neighborhood had the same exact thing in each house. I flew to Kiera, "I think something major happened to her."

The three of us frantically searched, but it was Kiera that found the clue, "Beth, Tia, come over here!"

I shot over and saw black sand in one of the rooms. Next to it was a note:

i cat your frind. com to piner parc today or fac the consiqenses. (A/N: to be completely honest, I think it takes away from the gravity of the situation if the evil guy can't spell)

I shot off and went straight to the park in my hometown, "No one touches my best friend."

The other two were struggling to keep up with me. In five minutes I could see the snow building up in the park and Braydn standing on the roof of the bathrooms with an unconscious Kayla next to him.I called to the others while we were still out of earshot, "I'll get Braydn while you two get Kayla out of here!"

They nodded and I shot straight at the boy who had harassed my friends for too long. I purposely let myself crash into him, sending him flying. I managed to stop myself in mid air and watch him crash into the ground. I glanced backwards and saw that the others were gone. I barely sighed from relief before a huge wave of dark dreamsand blindsided me. I crashed into the wall and slid to the ground. I stumbled to my feet just as Braydn pinned me to the wall, cutting off my air. I of course kicked him where it hurt most and flew as far as my bruised wings could carry me.

He came out of the shadows in front of me and I did my best to swerve, but ended up on the ground. He loomed over me, and a snow ball hit him right in the face. I scrambled away from him as Tia helped me to my feet. She glanced at my wings, "What happened?"

I shrugged, "Hey, I'm just clumsy. I've had worse."

Braydn lunged at us, and we flew out of his way as a...was that a boomerang? Ally popped out, caught it and threw the other one in her hand as she rushed to our sides. I didn't like how much she towered over me, but there was no way to make her go back to her original height. I was about to ask her where the others were when I heard sleigh bells. I sighed, "She started driving today didn't she?"

They both nodded as the sleigh nearly hit Braydn in the head. We jumped out of the way as the sleigh crashed to the ground and Ally muttered, "Y'ain't gettin me on that death trap."

I shook my head and threw Ally's boomerang at Braydn while everyone was distracted. It hit him dead in the face and he staggered back, giving the others a chance to regroup. James was staying on the sleigh, where he wouldn't get in the way, but Kayla had come back. I looked her in the eye, "You will stay by my side, we don't want you getting hit by one of those black arrows."

She nodded, "Sure, and I'll protect you."

We launched into battle in groups of two or three against him so that none of us would get majorly hurt.I flew around Kayla, shredding most of the night-mares before they could get close to her, and she turned the rest back into good dreams.

Finally Braydn fled, and we saw Pitch fly out of him and dissolve. As I saw that, I felt something being pulled from inside my soul, and I collapsed to the ground. The last thing I saw was the guardians float out of us and dissolve, leaving us alone.


I sat up a while later and saw the destruction that had happened being scrutinized by normal people. I felt my wings flutter against my back, and looked around to see that the others were still the same. None of us had reverted back to our old selves. I helped James carry the others to the sleigh and whipped the reins, praying the whole time that I wouldn't crash it.

I don't know if Braydn is back to normal, but my bet is that if we aren't, we'll have to face him again one day. But just not tomorrow.


I FINISHED! Sorry, that just made me really happy. I apologize if this chapter is the worst thing that you've read in your life, but I made it in one hour. Let me clarify a few things:

1) Sarah has turned into a female version of North (so no beard). Tia is a female Jack Frost, James is an older version of Jamie, Kiera is about a foot tall, but other than that, she's exactly like Baby Tooth. Ally is a 6 foot something tall girl with muscles and an Australian accent, Kayla is a 5 foot 4 girl with control over dream sand, and I'm a hyperactive 5 foot 8 girl with wings and an ability to find teeth. Not all of us turned completely into guardians.

2)Braydn may or may not come back in a sequel. Haven't decided yet.

3) Some of my friends have accounts on FanFiction. Please check out ArtemisHarryAnimorphsfan96, TheWaffleMaker, and are all fantastic writers.

Thank you and I love those who helped motivate me to break through my writer's block, including my personal Kayla, Justrockzyxxx and fan reader.
