Black-Death-646: Yes, yes she is! XD Seraphina... Well, let's just say she's a very mixed up, confused and unpredictable character. :) SAME WITH ME! I PLAN TO GET THEM DURING MY WEEK OFF (which is this week...) AND READ THEM! :3 Well, in Ireland it's colourful... but it's wet... like every season in Ireland. :L Oh! Do! But if you've read the books, you'll probably be highly disappointed with the movie (and yet I'm still looking forward to the Sea of Monsters coming out!) :P Are we sucking up to one another..? O.O Agh, same with me for yours. :) I re-read them the whole time because I don't know... I just smile when I do. :) HAHA! Oh my gods... That would be bloody hilarious... But probably impossible as Seraphina IS Mother Nature, you know? Still... I can imagine her attempts at it! :P :3 I might add that in their somewhere in the fanfiction! XD Thank you and I will. :D

VeryBerry96: Yup, it is. :3 I'm sure you understand already, but it'll still be explained in full depth once she gets her memories back. :) Thank you! Hope you enjoy this chapter. :D

THORina2245: Ha, ya.. Had to add that in there somewhere.. XD Sophie is lovely of course... Really... We think... :P

Sammantha333: *Bows* thank you, thank you.. XD

JustPlainOldMe: Ya, I hate when things are always just glum and boring. I like to add a bit of light into stories, you know? I feel it makes a story more fun to read... :3 Like, in school we have to read The Road by Cormac McCarthey and it's so boring! It's too... sad... :| Plus, there's no chapters OR inverted commas! DX Ya, I guess people can... Like, with her insecurities, and whatnot. :) Eh, maybe. Seraphina is... unpredictable... :) Thank YOU for your review. :3 Ha, thanks! XD

SomeFromEarth: Really? I've a bunch of family in Toronto and around that area such as Stradfort and whatever. :3 I've been to Toronto, and I loved it... And you're not going to believe me, but my cousin (or maybe it was his friend) was in Justin's class... And now I seem like an awful liar, but I swear on my life, if it counts? :) But like... That was before he was famous and moved to Atlanta.. XD NEXT BLOODY SUNDAY!*Dies* :') and ya, a lot of people make fun of him. ._. But like, I'm not a Belieber who'll give out if you don't like him, you know? I mean, everybody has their own tastes.. -_- Some Beliebers can be a little OTT! :/ HIS ACOUSTIC ALBUM GIVES ME EARGASMS! :'D And it's the blade. :) Sorry I made you look... XD

Elizabeth: Well, that can happen, but I don't know. AS for splitting the seasons... That wouldn't really work. Jack is a winter spirit after all, and Sophie is autumn. I'm sure there's spring and Summer spirits too... so splitting won't exactly work. XD So many possibilities, seeing as Seraphina is very unpredicatble in character. :) That's actually a good way at looking at Pitch. As, everybody has to face their fears to get over them, right? :) AND THAT'S AMAZING! That is a totally cool idea. :0 I might use that... :) And maybe. :) And hope this was soon enough. :)

And continue on! (If you want). :)

I usually listen to my gut. I do listen to it. Going alone felt right. Who knows what would happen? But... was it worth lying to my friend? And he knew I was lying to him. He freaking knew. I could see it in his eyes as he let me go. I felt bad for doing so, but wouldn't it be worth it if it worked? Ya, it would be. We need Seraphina- actually, we need as many allies as we can get. The fear inside of me made this more real. I wasn't actually dead; I was alive, here, going to ask Mother Nature to join us. I was a spirit now. I don't remember a single thing.

I flew over my house. Down below was my family. They told me so much about themselves. Did you know we had a dog? Ya, she was called Abby. She died of old age, but they showed me a picture. A greyhound. She was cute... I wish I could remember.

How did Jamie react to me being what I was?

Well... as any older brother might. He was absolutely... well, he was... no. I guess it's hard to explain. He was both mad and relieved at the same time. For some reason he was mad at Jack as though it was his fault, but quickly let that slide as though he was not in the mood to argue with Jack. Then he just said he was glad I was alive and that he wouldn't know what to do without me. That comment made me feel warm inside.

"Ah-ha," came a voice from behind me. I quickly stopped mid-air. Only one person could be flying behind me... God. "I knew you were lying to me. You aren't going to your family. What are you doing?"

I turned and faced Jack, glaring at him. "Good to know you trust me," I replied with a smart-ass tone. "What I'm up to has nothing to do with you, Jack. Now, please, go back to wherever you're actually from." I made a shooing sign as though I were trying to get rid of a dog that followed me... in the air... Well, you get the idea, right?

"Funny story," he replied- I'm guessing it's actually not going to be as funny as he thinks it is. "I'm actually from Burgess. So, I am home."

"Well, then... stay here and don't follow me," I snapped.

"See, now I don't trust you so therefore I must follow you," he chuckled. What? Did he think this was some big joke? Ugh... he was absolutely infuriating! Ever since I came back to life he has not left me alone- and the thought was nice, but still! I think it's time i was given some space, don't you think?

"You're impossible," I sighed.

"No, I'm looking out for you," he told me his eyes beginning to soften. "Look, I lost you once... I thought you weren't going to wake up. I thought you were gone forever... but you're not. I don't want to make a mistake and let you get hurt again. Please, just let me come with you? I promise I'll be good, ma'am."

"Don't call me ma'am, it makes me sound old," I smiled. "Look... I..." I looked into his eyes. They really did seem sad about my death. I wonder what it must of been like to have someone so close to you and suddenly... they're gone. I'd hate it. I felt sorry for him once again. "Ugh... I'll probably regret this, but fine. You can come." This brought a full on smile to his face- the type of smile that made you feel like you did something finally right. Jack is so much like a child, it's hard to remember that he was eighteen when he died and about... 332 years old. Why yes, it does sound creepy when you put it that way, but it's like... when you're immortal your real age doesn't matter (thank god, might I add!).

"So, what exactly are you doing anyway?" he asked me.

Oh, and by the way- yes, I have just mastered the skill of levitating. How's flying, you ask? It is freaking awesome! I feel like a superhero! Hey, maybe I am one- I am about to help the others try and trap Evil, aren't I? Just call me Super Sophie! Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No! It's Sophie freaking Bennett! Sorry, I just feel so awesome sometimes. It makes me wonder about my past life more. Did I feel this confident with myself? Was I a loser? Maybe. If I'm being honest, I wouldn't be surprised if I was a loser before. I bet even if before I could fly I'd still be classified as a loser... Whoo, go my life!

"I'm going to search for Seraphina," I told him. "I mean... it's bad she's not on our side. Maybe I can convince her to join us instead. I wanted to go alone because you guys told me she doesn't like ye... Uh... something to do with her father, yes?"

"Ya, your brother helped," he smiled remembering the thought. Ya, good for him. He can remember... No! I was not bitter, just terrified... Would it be bad for the brain for all memories to come back at the one time? I'm sure that would make me go completely bonkers (if I am not already that). "You were three... We use to call you ankle-biter you were so small and I remember I carried you home. I, er, sort of dropped you off your bed- accidentally of course!"

"You what?" I laughed forgetting for a moment what I had planned to originally do before Jack had come.

"You wouldn't let go of me! I had a hard time getting you off of me," he chuckled in reply.

"I was three, Jack... three," I reminded him. "You mustn't be too strong if you can't pry a little child from around you." Yes, I was teasing him, but all in good sport. Thinking about it, I could understand maybe as to why I liked him. He was funny, witty, smart, energetic and yes, I guess he was cute too. I wonder what he saw in me. I'm not much to look at to be honest. I'd tell you my eye colour, but they keep changing, my hair is very blonde and very unkempt. I have this one strand of hair that won't stay out of my eyes. Jack tells me it was my signature look since I was a kid. There's time for change though, right? I'm not very tall- Jack is much taller than I am, and I don't feel like I'm very pretty either. It must of been my amazing personality he likes... or maybe even liked. Does he feel that way about the new me? Was I a new me? Did that even make any sense?

"Uh... Sophie?" Jack said cautiously. I shook my head, shaking myself out of my thoughts- oh god. Was I staring at him? Ugh, how mortifying was that? I went a little red as did he. "God, I know I'm amazing looking but you don't have to stare."

Whoa... that was weird. That was like deja vu. What a horrible sensation. I felt like I should be remembering something, but what? I can't remember anything, so it must have been a mistake. What was I raking my brain so hard for then? Something about what he said... why was it so familiar? AGH! THIS IS SO FRUSTRATING! That's it! When Jack and I get back I am SO getting my memory back from Tooth. Not remembering is the worst thing ever! It makes me feel pretty dumb too, especially when they have to explain stuff out to me.

"A little cocky, are we?" I replied instantly, my cheeks burning. Okay, I'm making another list of pros and cons about Jack. So far I've a bunch on the pros... and on the con is his cockiness. I mean, seriously? Talk about being full of himself! God... He stuck his tongue out in reply. "Well, let's go find Mother Nature then, shall we?"

"Ya, let's go," he answered. Man, my cheeks should have stopped burning by now.

Jack and I flew in silence for ages, not really sure what we were looking for. Well, I wasn't sure. I didn't even know what Seraphina looked like. Jack knew though, so I guess it wasn't bad that he was with me. Although we were in silence, I quite enjoyed having the company. At least I trusted Jack. He's the first person I saw when I woke up, and he's always looking out for me. I believe he's trust worthy at this stage. I can't believe it's been over three months since I woke. It's strange. For you it may be just a short time, but for me it's felt like forever. I hope time isn't always like this when you're immortal.

"So, besides awesome, what was I really like before?" I asked him after getting tired of the silence between us.

"Well... You were nice, funny... caring too," he laughed. "You loved to skateboard as well. You were fun to be around- never had a boring day with you. You loved to watch movies especially, it seems, ones that make you cry like The Notebook."

"Is it a good movie?" I wonder.

"Well, ya... You and I watched it together," he told me, smiling down at the ground far below us. his cheeks went rosy red at a memory. I wondered what was making him blush right now. I mean, all we were talking about was a movie... right? Had I missed out on something again? Gosh, damn my slowness! I needed to pay better attention.

"Why are you gone all red?" I blurted out before I could even stop myself. Wow, I am an idiot! You don't ask that to people!

"Uh... well, we sort of- nevermind," he decided.

WE SORT OF WHAT? There was so many ways to finish that sentence- oh god. We didn't... you know... did we? Oh god. Oh god. My cheeks began to burn AGAIN! I can't imagine I would do something like that... I'm only seventeen after all! DON'T I HAVE ANY CLASS?

"We sort of what?" I whined urging him to finish that bloody sentence.

"Fine," he gave in. "After it we had our second kiss, okay? There, you happy?" Well... Jack didn't sound very happy himself. He sounded mad actually. Did I make him mad? Well... oops? What do you expect me to say? I'm not good in these type of situations- I'm socially awkward god dammit! I felt myself blush a little. This was my own fault. I shouldn't have been so curious... but the way he said it made me thing of something ENTIRELY different than what he said... awkward...

"... SO I wonder where Seraphina might be?" I asked after an agonising awkward silence. Well, aren't I good at changing the topic? Yes, yes I am.

Jack huffed sounding more annoyed. "She could be anywhere in the world."

"Are you mad?"

"No."

"Yes you are."

"Shut up-"

"See..."

"I'm not mad," he sighed. His shoulders slumped a little (I didn't think that was possible while flying- wait to prove me wrong, Jack). "I'm not mad... I'm just... I don't even know. I feel frustrated a lot. I mean, it's amazing that you're alive, but... You don't even remember me. We basically had a relationship and you don't remember any minute of it... and I guess ya, it makes me sad. But I'm not mad... at you. I'm mad at him."

"Evil?" I asked him.

"No... The Man in the Moon," he told me acidly. "Agh, he's annoyed me since I came back to life. He never answers me. And man, that can be annoying. When I finally think he did something right he goes and ruins it by taking your memory."

"Well, I've been thinking about it," I said, "and I think after we find Seraphina I'm going to go and get my memories off of Tooth."

"Really?" he asked, coming to a halt in mid-air. I nodded my head. "That's about the best news I've heard all day."

"Why are you so keen on me getting my memory restored?" I wondered. What? I'm a CURIOUS person. How many times do I have to tell you guys that? Jeez, you'd think you'd know me by this stage... apparently not.

"Because I know how much it sucks... and I'm hoping you remember why you liked me," he admitted, avoiding my eye contact from embarrassment. I smiled thoughtfully. As I said before, I do know and understand why I might have liked him, but right now I'm too confused about my own life to concentrate on us yet. I mean, I've thought about it a lot, actually. Jack and I, that is. Sometimes the thought of it made my heart race, other times I didn't feel really anything. I liked when it made my heart race so much that it felt as though my heart was about to burst right out of my chest.

I stopped, and gazed at him. I wish he stopped looking so sad. He shouldn't be sad, he should be happy. Happy people are awesome. I mean, ya, I guess it might suck for him, but he shouldn't let it take over his life. I love it when he smiles. It seems to brighten any place (although, that could also be because his teeth are amazingly white like the snow). When he smiles it makes me feel warm inside.

AND BEFORE YOU GO JUMPING TO CONCLUSIONS- no. I was NOT getting a crush on Jack... again. I was just someone who cared deeply for him and didn't like when he was sad, especially when it had to do with me. I am not that great, so there's no point getting upset over me. Man... he must of really liked me for some reason.

"Anyway-"

"You're not going to find Evil, you know," came a voice. The voice sounded emotionless. It was a female voice. I turned around and came face to face with a girl. She had black hair, very long black hair. She was a tall cloaked woman. She had a long, but beautiful face with cold eyes. The cold eyes didn't seem to suit her well. She narrowed her eyes at Jack and I and looked at us as thought we were trash. Who does she think she is looking at me like that? God... You'd swear I did something to her! I didn't... That would be my brother and the Guardians.

"Hello, Seraphina," Jack said icily.

Something about Seraphina seemed ancient. Her eyes looked as though they've lived to see many things which have made her wise. Right now I didn't feel she was wise to trust Evil. Was she not usually a neutral fighter (well, that's what I've been told anyway..). Thinking about her made me feel odd. This woman was basically my boss... She's mother nature after all. She's also Jack's, come to think of it. Even weirder again.

"Jack, and you must be Sophie," she said addressing me. Her eyes weren't as cold when they looked towards me, but I could still see some bitterness in her eyes. I nodded, a little too nervous to say anything now. How did I believe that I was going to go and ask her to join us? It was all such false bravery, to be honest with you. "New autumn spirit. About time, I asked for a helper ages ago. The Man in the Moon doesn't particularly like me very much because of who my father is."

"Can you blame him?" Jack said darkly. I wanted to hit him for being so stupid! We were trying to get her on our side, not have her destroy us on the spot.

"Sophie, I know you originally decided to come alone. I've been watching you. So, if you wish to speak to me, tell your boyfriend to keep his mouth shut," she said, balling her hands up into fists. There was a rumble of thunder behind her... Okay, Mother Nature was definitely NOT happy. -Wait! Did she just call Jack my boyfriend? Oh no, no, no. Let's not go there, Seraphina.

"He's not my boyfriend. And Jack, shut the hell up," I scolded him.

Jack looked like he was going to argue further with me, but decided against it when I glared at him.

"Well... I wanted to talk about you being on Evil's side," I told her. Her eyes bore into mine, making me feel nervous. "Look, I know what the Guardians did wasn't cool, but your father, he um..." I trailed off. Okay, Pitch... He was the guy who- oh ya. I remember now. "He tried to rule the world with fear, and that's not exactly cool either. But that was fourteen years ago. We need to work together to fight against Evil. You're mother nature, surely you know good morals. This isn't one."

"Oh, I agree with what you have to say, Sophie," she said. "But, you see, Evil will almost always win."

"No, Evil won't win. Not if you join us," I protested.

"Sophie, Evil is older than civilization itself. He's older than the Man in the Moon. He knows everything, which includes how to win fights-"

"At least give us Katherine back," I begged her. "It's not right to keep her hostage. She hasn't done anything wrong!"

"Evil won't give her back," she replied glumly. "He knows eventually you all will come to save her like the little heroes you are. Katherine won't have her saviour. As the time ticks by, she gets weaker. She'll probably die, and if not, she will fade away to nothing."

"Is that not the same thing?" Jack asked. I thought Seraphina might give out to him for even talking, but surprisingly she didn't.

"No, they're not. Dying means your heart has stopped beating. Fading away... well, that's more complicated. Imagine being alive, but then all of a sudden, you begin to disappear slowly, fully aware of what is happening."

"Anyway, look. If you don't want to join us, I'm begging you, please stay neutral. We barely stand a chance as it is," I explained.

"You have much to learn about me Sophie," she answered. "One is that once I've choesn a side, I stick with my decision."

And with that, Jack and I were surrounded in a blur of clouds and strong winds and finally engulfed in darkness.

And with that, my good people, I finish.

Wow... BLAH! :/ Oh my god. Second years in my school are going skiing for their school tour in Italy today!

Well... Pfft. I went to Paris! :3 We were allowed to go lots of places while all they're doing is skiing! OURS WAS BETTER, OKAY?

Anyway, REVIEW for more, please? :) Hope you guys liked this... I'm not very sure about it, but it'll have to do! :P
