Chapter 7

Once Cat and Jack had left the room Bunny spoke up.

"What's going on dear? Why does her hair keep doing that? First it goes lighter now it went darker almost black. Spill shela you know something." Sophie nodded and sighed.

"It's a long story Bunny one in which Cat and Jack are not to know. What I say must remain secret or all could be lost. Even now I'm starting to fear that he might be too late." North, Tooth, Sandy and Bunny all looked to her waiting for her tale.

"It was back when I was still human a woman named Ice came to me. She was the Guardian of Innocence. The Purity that lays in all children she also had the gift to see the future. At first she was surprised that I could see her for not many children could. She just smiled at me and told me that I was destined for great things and that I must be a pure hearted child to see her. We became fast friends and over time she told me a story about a child that she would have. She said she was going to name her Catherine and that she was going to be the Ice Queen from the story Ice Queen. You know the one where the Ice Queen's mirror brakes and scatters into the wind just to later on pierce a boy in his eye and heart freezing him to the world and his best friend tries to save him. Well she didn't want that for her daughter. She didn't want her to become a frozen hearted child for she was also destined to carry on her mother's legacy as the Guardian or Innocence."Everyone looked on in awe. That explained why Manny wanted her to be a guardian but there were still other questions not answered.

"But that doesn't explain her hair. It explains her harsh attitude but nothing else." Sophie sighed and nodded.

"Well you see the thing is her mother was never supposed to die when she was 7. Her mother was suppose to die on her 17 birthday where she would then inherit her power. I don't know what the future holds for Cat but she was meant to meet us all on her 13 birthday and Jack was meant to prevent her heart from freezing over. He was meant to keep her from turning into the Ice Queen and help her become the guardian of Innocence. But since her mother did die and her powers transferred over to her daughter at an early age things have gone wrong. Kids are no longer acting in innocent ways which is why so many are on the naughty list nowadays North. As Cat becomes closer to becoming the Ice Queen her hair gets darker as do her eyes. It is also affecting the children for the innocence is dieing within Cat. Once it has completely died then no child will act in an innocent manner. They will all be unruly kids not listening and not being nice." North and the other stood in shock this truly was a problem one that needed to get fixed and soon.

"Then who is man? And why did her mother die early?" Sophie bowed her head and shook her head.

"Unfortunately the man is her father and he was the same person who killed her mother. He's trying to kill the innocence in children but he's manly after the Ice Queen's power." At once a bunch of symbols shot across Sandy's head and everyone looked confused, while Sophie just smiled.

"If you're asking how that is possible it's simple. The Ice Queen's power can be obtained in one of two ways. One she is reincarnated in to a child or two, someone kills her. In this case Cat would have to die twice for Jacob to obtain the power. Once so she can turn into the Ice Queen and then a second time as the Ice Queen. If she dies with her hair as black as night and eyes as black as charcoal then she will become the Ice Queen. However if Jack can Turn her hair back to the pure white it once was and her eyes back to gray then when she dies she will become the guardian of Innocence." Sophie walked over to Bunny and hugged him tightly she was worried for Cat. She truly hopped it wasn't too late.

"So we can't tell the kids what's going on but the least we can do is protect her from her father and try to help Jack. How exactly do we do that?" Tooth nodded in agreement.

"Bunny is right how? I mean just talking about her dad made her hair turn dark. What do we do?" Sophie shook her head.

"We make her believe in us and the rest is up to jack. He has to melt her heart. She swore off men because of her father and Jack needs to make her realize not all guys are the same." North laughed at Sophie's statement.

"You mean he has to get her to love him. He won't have problem. I not know of one girl who doesn't find him attractive."
