She listened intently as I told her my story. Her eyes were big and excited, I thought they were going to pop out of her skull. Especially when I told her that I'd met her before.
"Jack that's... you've been though a lot" She said after I'd finished. "What brought you here?"
"Oh um..." I didn't know what to say. She'd think I was crazy and tell me to leave if I confessed to her. "Well... the uh... man in the Moon told me to"
"So he finally talked to you?"
"Not exactly, I mean I was begging him for an answer and he still wouldn't talk to me. I asked for him to light a path and... he lit up your window" I explained, slightly embarrassed. She stayed silent for a while, thinking this through. I glanced at the clock and saw it was almost two in the morning. "Look you should get some sle-"
"What was the question?" She interrupted me.
"Um.. the ah, the what?" I stalled terribly.
"What did you ask the moon?" Her blonde hair hung over her shoulders, in her face and basically everywhere like I remembered it.
"I asked... um..." I looked into her bright green eyes. How could I just bombard her with this? I mean, who in their right mind would believe a winter spirit if he came to your window insisting the moon told him you would fall in love with him? Not me! And not her, I'm sure of it. Although, she believed everything else. But still. There was no way I was going to tell her that we were destined.
"Jack" She put her hand on my knee and looked up at me. "Am I in trouble? Are-are you in trouble?"
"No" I shook my head and sighed heavily. "I asked the moon..." What? I asked the moon what?
"What's going on? Why are you having so much trouble telling me?" She asked gently.
"I don't want you to think I'm crazy"
"But I won't! If I thought you were crazy, would I be able to see you?" She had a valid point there.
"I wanted to know If I could love. If it was even possible that I, an immortal guardian, could love someone. The moon wouldn't answer me. So I asked him to light a path. He lit up your window" I admitted.
"That's so sweet" She whispered. I looked up incredulously at her. She believed me? "But how can a mortal be with an immortal?"
"I don't know" I sighed.
"Well there's gotta be a reason. The man on the moon said so" Sophie perked up. I raised my eyebrows at her and smiled.
"Yeah, I suppose"
"We just have to figure it out I guess" Her smile made me smile. It was infectious.
"You should go to sleep" I suggested to her. She shook her head, making her gold hair fly everywhere.
"No way. Not with all this in my head" She stood up and started pacing. "This... is amazing. I can't believe you guys are actually real!"
"I have a question for you now" I stood up in front of her to stop her from pacing. She looked up at me.
"Go on" She grinned cheekily.
"Why are there so many pictures of me in your book? And why did you not believe in us, but draw us all?" I was puzzled completely by this.
"I thought you were going to ask one question?" She challenged me.
"You asked me a whole heap of questions"
"Fine." She leaned over her bed and picked up her sketch book, flipping through. "Jamie used to tell me all these stories about you guys. One day I asked him to describe you one by one to me so I could draw you all. He helped me figure out what you looked like and I found I was drawn to you the most. Figuratively of course" she laughed at the unintentional pun.
"Are these the only drawings you have of us?" I asked, looking around the room.
"No, I have some in my old school books but I threw them out when I finished at the end of the year" She looked up at me and smiled.
"What?"
"I'm just so glad you're real"
