Ok everyone! I know this took FOREVER and it's really short but I desperately needed a filler and I' still struggling with where I should take this story! I'm trying my best I promise! Ok here we go!

Annabel closed the door to the guest room she had picked. It was a small room with a four poster bed, a fireplace, an armchair, a small bathroom and a window with closed and tied shut with ribbons. The room was decorated in red with wooden furnishings. The four poster bed was made of dark wood with red coverings and pillows, the curtains were red silk, the armchair was also red but slightly lighter colour and the fluffy carpet was orange and red.
Annabel sighed and sat down cross-legged in front of the fire place and stared at wood logs inside it for a second before it they burst into flames. She breathed a sigh of relief and lent her back against the foot of the bed, keeping her gaze on the flames.
There was a knock at the door and she turned to look at it "Come in." She called.
The door opened slightly and in the gap between the door and the doorframe appeared Jack Frost.
"Hey." He said quietly.
Annabel smiled "Hey." She replied cheerily "Don't hover in the door silly, come in."
Jack bit his lip and shot a glance at the fire.
Annabel clicked at quickly waved her hand at the fire, instantly extinguishing it. Jack smiled gratefully and came fully into the room, hesitating before sitting down next to Annabel.
They sat in silence for a minute before Jack broke the silence "So… are you alright?"
Annabel looked at him "What do you mean?" She asked, tilting her head slightly to the side.
"Well it can't be nice knowing that… that Pitch is using your memories to create nightmares…"
Annabel looked down at the floor and ran her hand through the carpet. "It's not." She stated "But I can't go thinking about myself right now can I?" She looked back up at Jack. "I have to focus on getting mine, and all the other missing teeth, out of Pitch's hands… that's what it's about now…" She paused and considered whether or not she should say the next thing that was running through her head "It's no longer just about proving to you that you're my brother…"
Jack looked startled for a minuet but then he relaxed and looked into the empty fire "Y-you know… if it helps… I don't doubt it anymore." Annabel looked shot and relieved. She opened her mouth to say something but Jack cut her off "Any doubt I had is virtually gone. What Pitch said kind of made me realise… and the way her looked at you… he looked at you like you were his prey. But that wasn't all," He looked at Annabel "The way you are… what you just said as well… it almost exactly how I remember my sister…" He sighed "Don't get me wrong, I'm still on guard."
Annabel nodded "I understand. It can't be easy… I didn't want to believe it either at first… that's why I didn't come to see you sooner… I thought it was just some dream that would shatter if I so much as looked at you…" She smiled to herself "But it wasn't, your right here in front of me! It feels like… like a miracle!"
Jack grinned "Yeah…" He stood up and headed to the door "Well we best get some rest before North comes and finds out we're not asleep."
Annabel nodded "Night Jack!"
Jack opened the door "Night!" and with that he was gone, shutting the door quietly behind him.
Instantly Annabel re-lit the fire and stood up and went over to her bed. She sat on the edge for a second, thinking things over in her head before swinging her legs onto the bed and crawling under the covers, almost instantly dropping off to sleep.
Once again I'm sorry it's short! suggestions for where to take this will be VERY helpful! See you soon!
