It was a crisp autumn day and Jack and Lily walked together with Lily's hand on Jack's arm to guide her. Their younger siblings begged to tag along with the older kids and they complied with their request.

The younger children, Theodore and Flea, played running against each other to see who was faster. Flea would always win and that was how she got her nickname 'Flea'. Theodore would protest saying she'd cheat and that would lead to their argument.

The older siblings would quiet their yelling threatening to go back home if they didn't behave. It would work until Flea and Theodore would argue about something else.

"I see a potential couple in the future," Lily said to Jack when the two siblings were out of earshot. The trickster guffawed at the blind girl.

"You're psychic now?" He said wiping a tear from his eye.

Lily grinned at the dark haired boy. "Call it 'Matchmaker's Tuition'." The blonde hair girl's smile faltered as she heard something in the distance. She concentrated on it and it sounded like something was breaking.

Then she listened more and it sounded heavy and it was falling. The blind girl could hear the wind whistle as this object was beginning to fall. Lily's eyes widened in fear. It was a tree! It was also about to fall to- "Flea! Teddy! Move!"

The younger siblings stopped in their tracks and looked at the older girl in confusion. Why was she yelling at them? Before the siblings could comprehend what was going on they could see a tree falling towards them.

Lily's legs bolted towards the two. Her heart was racing as her instincts went into full panic mode. She could feel her adrenaline make her run faster. The matchmaker jumped pushed the children back away before the tree could hurt them.

The tree landed on the blind matchmaker and she cried out in pain. "LILY!" All three of them yelled.

Theodore was the first one to reach his sister. The tree had landed on her back and she didn't move nor make a sound, not showing any signs she was still alive. "Lily?" The boy whimpered.

She didn't reply and Jack jumped over the tree and moved the hair from her face. He placed his hands on the sides of her face and slapped the side of her face. "Come on, Lily! Wake up!" Lily didn't stir and the dark haired boy turned towards the children.

"You two go back home and get help!" Before either, one could protest Jack interrupted them in a more urgent tone. "Now!" Flea climbed over the tree and ran as her little legs carried her. Theodore stood in his place, he was paralyzed. The curly haired boy didn't comprehend what Jack had said. The trickster grabbed the younger boy by shoulders and shook him.

"Listen, Theodore!" The boy blinked and looked up at the older boy frightened. "Go and get help!" Theodore's eyes darted to Lily's unconscious form. "I'll stay here," Jack said picking up the younger boy and putting him on the other side of the tree. "Now go!"

The boy ran with tears stinging his eyes as he ran back home for aid for his sister. Jack watched as Theodore's form disappeared and his brown eyes returned to his best friend. He sat cross-legged in front of Lily, his eyes didn't move away from her.

He didn't know what else to do Jack didn't want to leave her alone. The dark haired boy reached out for the matchmaker's hand and grasped it. Lily didn't react to Jack's touch, she remained motionless.

The day turned soon turned to night and the trickster didn't leave the matchmaker's side. She didn't make a sound nor did she move. Jack still held her hand in his grasp as he absentmindedly ran his thumb over knuckles.

Jack's head perked up as he saw Flea and Theodore came running with help. Everyone from the village came to help. One by one each villager came forward grabbed a part of the tree and began to lift it off the young matchmaker. Soon the tree was lifted off the young girl's petite form.

Jack gripped her arms and pulled her away and held her against him. The village doctor appeared by Jack and checked for the girl's pulse. The older man sighed. "She's gone."

Each person in the village reacted in different ways. Some gasped, some started crying, and some didn't react at all because they didn't know how to respond.

The dark haired boy shook his head. "No! Don't say that!" Tears brimmed his brown eyes. "Help her! Please!" The doctor put a hand on the young boy's shoulder. "I'm sorry there's nothing I can do."

Jack held the girl in his arms tighter and a sob escaped his throat as the moon in the sky watched from the distance.

In the shadows, gold orbs watched closely as a smirk crept up his face if he couldn't have her no one will.

Fear was the first thing she felt. She wasn't sure why but she felt scared. Her body rose up from the ground in the moon's light, energy began to run through her body.

Her appearance began to change as she levitated from the earth. Her champagne curls turned to a vibrant shade of red from the roots to the ends. Her fair skin turned into a shade of pink that made her full of life. The once milky green eyes turned into a murky violet.

She heard a soft voice reach her ears. "Valentina Heartman, the Spirit of Love and Compassion."

The new spirit felt herself touch the ground. She could feel the cold, wet grass tickle her feet as she wandered around the area around her. Valentina felt herself trip over a rock and fell to the ground.

She couldn't see anything, how was she to guide herself? For a brief moment, she could see everything. In a puddle beside her, she could see herself!

Valentina's fingers traced over herself. She smiled but her sight was gone as soon as it appeared. The new spirit sighed and got to her feet and dusted the dirt off of her.

Valentina heard many sounds of fluttering wings surround her. "What's going on?" She said in a panic tone.

"It's ok!" A voice said reassuringly. "We're here to help!"

"Who are you?"

"I'm Juliet," The voice answered. "I'm one of the many fairies to help you on your journey."

"Journey?" The new spirit asked with furrowed brows. "What journey?"

There you have it folks! I wanted to move on to Lily as the new spirit of love and her interaction with the guardians and I promise my lovelies I'll update ASAP!
