A/N : I've decided that you guys should just imagine the character as you want. I mean, they are you. And you should be whatever you want. So if you want white hair, imagine the character that way, if not, just keep the original idea you have if them. Thanks for letting me know! It really helps me write.

Chapter 15

When my flying lessons were finished, and when I felt comfortable in the air, Jack and I used the portal to go back to North's workshop. Colors blended and swirled as we traveled through the portal, and we hopped out onto the stone and tile floors of the workshop. Heat could be felt on my back, and I turned around to see the large fireplace devouring logs of wood. Light was thrown out everywhere. Onto the walls, across the floors, and onto North's bearded face.

"Good morning to you both! Isn't it beautiful outside?"

He looked over to thermometer, and laughed.

"-17. What a treat, ya?"

Jack nodded. I shook my head no. The yetis laughed. The elves... they were doing nothing helpful. I saw one running from another with a blowtorch, and a whole group of them playing darts with scissors. I asked Norh why the yetis were the only ones doing any work.

"Hey North, aren't the elves supposed to be making the toys?"

He leaned down to me and whispered so that only Jack and I could hear.

"Do you see what they consider work?! We just let them think that..."

Jack smiled and turned to me.

"That's what he told me when I asked."

"When did you ask?"

"When I first came here. When I was summoned to be a Guardian. Like you."

"Oh."

"Come you two. You are like peas in pod, yes?"

North chuckled to himself, and led us towards the enormous doors to the outside. Jack had a small reddness to his cheeks, and I could feel my face heat up. North turned to face us, and looked at me for a moment.

"Sure you won't be cold, little one?"

I looked down at my thin dress and little slippers.

"Oh, um... Well, I think I might be."

I wished for warm clothes badly, and missed my jacket and boots sorely. You would think that I wouldn't be vulnerable to cold, but I still felt it. It was less frigid, but it was still there. I was glad for that actually. I wanted to keep some part of my humaness. Was that even a word? Humaness. Guess it was now. I was brought back to reality when I felt staring.

North and Jack were staring at me, and I looked down at myself. My delicate, little white dress was replaced with a white fur coat, white leggings of some sort, and white fur boots. I felt them, feeling the velvety texture and fluffy fur trim on everything.

"What the... Where did this all come from?"

I held up part of my jacket, looking at it. North and Jack stepped closer. North spoke up.

"After you said you'd be cold, your clothes became sparkles!"

His eyes were full of wonder, like a kid's.

Jack joined in.

"And then, it went away, and you were wearing that. Like you changed your clothes with your mind. What were you thinking about?"

"How I missed my old clothes. My coat and boots and warm stuff. Back at the cabin."

North scratched his beard.

"You must have strong power to do that."

I raised my eyebrows. How 'bout that? Then I really started thinking. What if I can make my bow and arrows appear? I had a feeling I could. I had left them on the large seat by the fire. I closed my eyes, and concentrated. I filled my thoughts with the bow, and the arrows. Then, I opened my eyes when I felt a new weight in my hands.

There they were. It was unbelievable, but the cool metal was definitely there. And the seat by the fire was empty. Jack and North were practically jumping up and down.

"That's crazy _!"

"This is amazing!"

When we all calmed down, it was time to put everything I had to the test.

North gripped the oversized, brass handles, and swung the doors open. I could see a glimpse of wonderful carvings in the grand doors as we passed over the threshold. Frosty air rushed towards us from the tundra ahead, and Jack took off for the sky. He yelled back at me.

"I'll be back in a minute _!"

A trial of frost followed him as he rose into the thin clouds.

"Where's he going?"

"Ah, he just needs some cold air."

We started walking towards the flat white expanse before us.

"You know _, I haven't seen Jack act so... Kindly to someone as he does to you."

"Really? Wonder why..."

"I think he likes you."

"How can you be sure?"

"Little one, I can feel it in my belly."

"What?"

We laughed and continued walking around the outside of the workshop. The dawn's light cast across the snow, and glinted off the workshop's glass windows. It reminded me of home.

"Ah, there's the boy."

Jack approached us, and landed expertly in the snow before walking over.

"Ok, I'm back. I saw some polar bears to the west. There were a bunch. I think they're hunting or something."

"Well, we will go east then. Come, this way."

North went around the side of the workshop, and opened a large door that resembled a garage. The inside had all kinds of stuff. Old tools and lots of blocks of ice. North went over to a block that resembled a circle, and rolled it out of the place and into the snow. He brought some tools out and began messing with the ice. Jack smiled, but I couldn't see what he was doing. Then, he stepped away to reveal a target he had carved from the ice. It had rings and a bullseye in the center. It also had little carvings in each ring. It looked too pretty to shoot.

"Do you think my arrows will go trough the ice?"

"That's why we're here, little one."

He rolled the ice target further away, and with Jack's help set up the whole thing in a mound of snow. They both came back, and North went back into the little garage behind us. He held throwing knifes when he came to stand beside me.

"Here, Jack, you take some."

Jack grabbed a couple from North, and looked at me expectantly.

"Ladies first."

A/N : So, I'm thinking that North is like her godfather or something. He wants to protect her and keep her from trouble. That's how I'm trying to create him as in the story. Is that what you guys are getting from him? Please tell me. :) and the next chapter has Bunny in it. Get ready for some jealously! I think of Bunny as that one guy who's a frenemy. He doesn't have a huge problem with Jack, but he loves to get under his skin and make him mad.
