I didn't know what the Pole was up too. It was either they are planning something or they are making sure that I'd never leave again. I had an escort everywhere or at least an elf following me. Gary would never really let me out of his sight so I spent most of my time in the kitchen. Everyone was working double time and toys were being made quickly. The quota was almost on track to what it was supposed to be since I was 'found'.

Did I mention I don't get to do much either? It is not bad to have an escort, but it is pretty bad when I can't do anything. Gary will not let me help him make cookies. I cannot go watch the yetis and Nick train. Heck I can barely go to the bathroom on my own. I had to kick Luke my yeti guard out. Do they not understand that I am not going anywhere if I can help it?

Most of my days are spent reading in the kitchen. That was on of the tasks I was allowed to do. Though I'm pretty sure if I told them about my paper cut I got a day ago book reading would be taken away from me too. The only books I got to read were on the history of the yetis and elves. Mostly written by Nick. Some of the books looked like the yetis had written them once they learned to write. The books were in Russian. So that may be why they let me read them. I believe they think I do not understand.

This makes me go to my fear of them planning something. I keep hearing snippets of conversations. Mostly from Nick to a yeti or to an elf and he was always speaking another language. I did not always know what the language was. That was for sure, but I did know I understood it.

Gary had also started to bake more cakes and have me try them. I haven't found one I loved yet, but most of them were pretty good. The elves eat whatever I do not finish which normally was after a forkful they'd have the cake devoured.

"Another day in the life of me." I muttered to myself while getting out of bed. I wandered over to my bookshelf that I'd gotten since I started to read all the time. Today I didn't feel like going into the kitchen. I wanted to curl up somewhere and just read. Maybe by the fireplace would be nice. Then I could watch the globe spin and see all the little lights of the believers. Watch as some go out because some become too old and watch as some children start to believe.

I walked out of my room to find Luke there waiting. I sighed inwardly. I get that Nick wants to keep me safe, but do I always need a yeti bodyguard. 90% of the population cannot see me. This is ridiculous I do not need a yeti following me in my own home. Plus what happened last time! I saved them they didn't save me! Nick just found me this time. I was getting to the Pole on my own it was taking longer then I wanted, but I had been making my way there.

Today maybe I'd sneak away. Explore the Pole on my own. There are a lot of areas I had yet to see. The biggest problem would be trying to hide, as they'd be on high alert. Unless….

Easy…too easy. I got away. Using nothing but my brain and a little trickery. I'd talked to Joyce. She is the most reasonable yeti. She agreed that Nick was suffocating me and it'd be perfectly reasonable for me to be left alone. So she shooed Luke off, who is apparently her cousin. Joyce even gave me a place to go and boy was I surprised when I got there.

It was the female section of the Pole. It wasn't as girlie as I thought it'd be. There was wrapping paper, ribbons, and fabric everywhere but that was reasonable. Each yeti had their own workstation there were some sewing machines the old fashion looking ones. There were sweets like cookies and small cakes arranged on tired platters. Did I mention this place looked awesome? They even had their own lounge area like North did. There was a fireplace really comfy looking couches and chairs, but they didn't have a painting of Nick with the yetis like the men's side did. They had nothing but brick.

The women yeti and elves were much more organized then the men. Of course the female elves were almost just as useless as the males, but that must be a species thing. The female elves or elvettes as I really want to call them, wore white hats with red or blue sleeves and pants, their belt was an evergreen tree color and surprisingly the white hats were not dirty at all. If an elvette wore and elves clothing then I'd have no idea that it was in fact female.

Now the female yetis are a different story. I thought maybe Joyce was the exception or she trimmed her beard thing, but apparently not. All the women had more of a white patch around the nose and mouth versus the long mustache thing that the men had. The women were also slightly shorter, I think hard to tell when I'm shorter then they are. Most of the coloring was the same browns, blacks, grays, and slightly blondish coloring. I think there may have been one with red hair/fur.

The women were dressing dolls and wrapping gifts. Apparently the men had no clue how to make presents look pretty. That included Nick. He, apparently before the female yetis got there, was a horrible wrapper and wouldn't care what he wrapped presents with. The female yetis, I can't think of a good nickname for them like elvettes yettiettes sounds stupid, just stormed in when they found out about it and took over the wrapping operation and the gifts for little girls.

"This place is amazing." I told Joyce. I spent the entire day with the females of the Pole. Let me tell you apparently Karl and Joel were both 'hot items' as Megan and Robin would put it. I had several elvettes ask me about how I got them to cling to me and how they could get 'in' with the two of them. I had no clue what to tell them so I said I'd put in a good word.

Then there was a teen girl yeti much like Jingle, but she had a major crush on the yeti boy. Let me tell you all she talked about was Jingle, Jingle, Jingle. Her name was Bells. Which you can laugh, I had to not laugh when I found out. I didn't want to hurt Bells feelings according to Joyce teen yetis are much like teen humans with fragile feelings.

"What's this room?" I asked Bells decided to give me a 'tour' of the women's side. So far all she's done is walk and talk about Jingle. "It looks like Nick's workshop?" I said as I opened the door. It did look like Nick's workshop but it was empty aside from an elaborately carved wooden desk with a nameplate on it. I walked into the room I wanted to read the nameplate. "Mrs. St. North." Then it hit me. This would be the room for Nick's wife. It would be her own little office to create in.

But why was there a nameplate had Nick planned to have a wife before me? How long ago had he planned it? Or was this just a room built by the yetis just to be careful? There were so many questions running through my head now.

I had to calm down. It was normal to question what happened before you. Of course Nick probably had a girlfriend or something before me. I mean he is over 400 years old. He couldn't possibly have just lived with the yetis' right? So many questions….I just knew I wasn't going to sleep well tonight.

A/N: So here it is one of the longer chapters. This is encase you were wondering about the female yetis/elves just like I was. I made them their own little section because I couldn't see male yetis dressing up little dolls.
