Me: I'm not totally leaving it I'm just going to need some stress down time
Lucia: Alright I'll see you when you come back *Looks out of the screen* and to answer Natuala X both Sandy and Snezana are the ones I take the hardest Snezana is one of my friends described the one shot series 'Place where I belong' will feature how and when I met her and the others

Chapter 13: Winters Wonder.
1st of December.
After what had happened to Bunny and Sandy, Lucia had hid away from everybody for 2 weeks, everyone but Jack. However the Yetis found her and put her in a sack, returning her to Santoff Clausen, where she instantly retreated to the rafters, hiding in the darkest of the corner.
"Lucia, come on," Tooth tried to coax the winter spirit out of the corner, where she pushed herself into the wall, not wanting to get anyone more hurt or turned invisible.
"no, Tooth. Bunny and Sandy are invisible and I have tried everything to see them, but I can't" Lucia said in the dark corner, around Tooth several smaller fairies were hovering, one of them was Baby Tooth, who puffed herself up, chirping away at her mother on how Lucia needed space.
"Alright, Baby Tooth. OH, Molar alert, Sundby, Amager sector 5!" Tooth said, as she flew away, "frontal incisors, Elsinore sector 20!"
Baby Tooth hung in the air next to Lucia, "Thanks Baby Tooth," the small Fairy turned looking at Lucia, who was coming out of the shadow, looking at the Fairy, which chirped coming forward to the girl, rubbing against the Winter Spirtis cheek, enjoying the kinder cold air Lucia was giving off.
"Oh, Baby Tooth" she said, moving a finger up to caress the small fairy.
"you two look cute," a voice said in front of her, Lucia looked forward seeing Jack, "Hey Lucia"
"Hey Jack," Baby Tooth looked around, trying to spot the Male Spirit chirping in happiness, Lucia sighed in sadness, "Baby Tooth… I'm the only one, who can see him"
The Fairy landed looking sad; Jack and Lucia looked at each other in expiration, "any luck seeing Bunny and Sandy?" Jack asked watching Lucia, who bowed and shook her head. He sat down next to her, knowing full well he couldn't touch her, but that didn't prevent him from being some sort of support.
"I have knocked myself so hard, I could I got the bruises to show it," Lucia moved her hair away, showing Jack the bruised neck. Baby Tooth frowned taking flight, she flew up just, as Jack leaned over, "North had some salve for it, it hurts less, but it didn't work"
Jack leaned back, "how can that be?" he asked, Lucia shrugged.
"I don't know, but it's mysterious. Everything seems to be connected to that Hourglass, but where do I fit in?"
The three sat in silence, Baby Tooth understood Lucia's distress, and the small fairy remembered Jack sometime before or rather almost two years, where he too didn't understand, why he had been chosen.
(...'...'...'...'...'...'...'...'...'...'...'..I'm a line break ain't i Pretty...'...'...'...'...'...'..')
North had finally managed to coax Lucia down from her high point. The young spirit had since then tried to keep away, going outside for fresh air, making conservations with Jack on the winter, as it came normally. Both would know if, it was going to be a harsh winter with a cold April and a warm winter with little snow, but this time it was, as if they were a bit cut off. Lucia had spread snow, sure something was wrong now that they thought about it; Pitch hadn't shown his face since Sandy. They could only hope, he would keep his distance, but he didn't.
Jack had seen him first, North second and Lucia had seen him last. Lucia was using every attack; she knew and ducked the blue beam, as it came at her, she didn't freeze up so much this time.
"Lucia, watch out!" she heard North call, as Pitch suddenly turned up behind her. She turned only seeing blue which hit her.
Her one thought was, that that was it; she would vanish just like Bunny and Sandy perhaps she would finally see them and tell them; she was sorry for disappointing them.
"Lucia, open your eyes"
And open them she did, there was no white out. No nothing she blinked only to see the shocked eyes of Pitch and North, who had come running, "Hatima?" Lucia whispered, she would know that voice everywhere, but how? The Spring Spirit was in Australia protecting it keeping it safe, how could she have made her voice come all the way to the pole? Lucia didn't have much time to think, as Pitch came at her striking at her with his weapon, which she cartwheeled away from.
North came up to her side looking at her, "how did you avoid disappearance, Babushka?" he asked her, checking her to see that he was seeing her and that she wasn't the same like Jack. Lucia just looked at him, not knowing what to say, but she never got the chance as Pitch came at them both.
Pitch stroke Lucia with his Scythe, he had by now given up on trying to make her invisible, he believed it to be a spell cast by North and Bunny, which would vanish as the two vanished by the hand off the hourglass.
North was lying hurt beside Lucia, as she was sent flying across the area, in which the two had been talking in earlier.
Both had wounds on the surface, but North was worried about Lucia, she got up weakly only to fall to the ground again. His eyes looked saddened at the sight, but they widened as he saw Pitch looked forward Lucia, "you are weak, Lucia," Pitch said, forming a dagger out of his Nightmare Sand. She looked up at him not in a negative way, but in an angry way, she was beginning to get tired of hearing that. A light seemed to be lightening in the deepest part of her eyes, "you will never become a guardian… at least not now"
"…" Lucia struggled to get up only to get kicked in her chest, making her roll and curl into a ball, " *cough* damn *cough**cough**cough* Pitch"
"yeah, that's my name, don't misuse it"
"oh, I won't misuse it" Lucia was growling, she failed to see Pitch take Clepsydra Timore forward pointing it at her, his own rage forgetting that it hadn't worked on her, "I'll use it to send you straight back into that hole you call a home!"
"oh, wrong answer" he smirked, failing to notice the hard thumping sounds of someone coming closer, "Clepsydra Timore do your Duty"
"LUCIA!" a booming voice came; both turned their heads seeing North, he managed to push her out of the way. Lucia accomplished to see North get hit, her eyes widening in horror
"NORTH!" she cried once more, she felt the feeling that she had felt before and it was not good.
(...'...'...'...'...'...'...'...'...'...'...'..I'm a line break ain't i Pretty...'...'...'...'...'...'..')
Lucia and North stood in front of each other she was crying, "not you too North, I and Tooth can't fight alone"
"Moya devushka" North said smiling, he kneeled down looking her into the eyes, "you have come a long way Lucia. I remember a girl standing in front of us, looking all insecure these past weeks have given you a different glow"
"North, please listen to me, I can't fight alone!" Lucia meant it, she wasn't strong enough for the duty and felt; she would never be.
"Babushka" North moved his hands to her cheeks, still smiling at her, he opened his mouth suddenly speaking in a different language than Russian. Her eyes widened she understood every word "at rerum quae sunt in stuporem et non timebit Babushka"
"North…" the area began a white out once more, but not before North had placed a kiss on her forehead.
"You'll find yourself" he said vanishing.
(...'...'...'...'...'...'...'...'...'...'...'..I'm a line break ain't i Pretty...'...'...'...'...'...'..')
Tooth hung in the air looking, as Lucia was getting bandaged a bit by Daisy, "Thanks Daisy" Lucia said, as the Yeti finished and left the room, "so what now?"
"we'll get them back, Lucia. Somehow there has to be something, which we can use against that Hourglass Clepsydra Timore," Tooth began to pace in the air oblivious to Lucia's frown, as the girl looked up almost, as if she wanted to argue with that, "the Hourglass of Fear appropriate name"
"It makes Believe to fear, when used on a human, but makes Immortals invisible to children and also to other Immortals"
"that still doesn't explain me!" she heard someone yell, Lucia looked up seeing Jack come in. he wasn't angry or anything just as confused as her.
"no, that still doesn't explain Jack," Lucia mused, thinking both times over, "I still can't make people see him, like I could the first time"
"did you have insecurities the first time?" Tooth asked, "and do you have them now?"
"I don't know with everything going on, I haven't been able to figure anything out, but questions have arisen like…"
"Man in Moon," Tooth said, crossing her hands, "we have been wondering the same, but hadn't it been for you coming, we wouldn't have gotten Jack back the first time"
"Yes, but how did I do that, Tooth?" Lucia realized, "how did I turn Jack visible again, when everyone else couldn't see him and how a bump to my head did get me to see Jack"
Tooth, Jack and Lucia just looked at each other at that, the questions plaguing them there was so much they didn't know and so little they could do alone.
