They were just having a normal life. Being a regular family. But that was until a sudden BANG! was heard. Crystal's eyes shot open and sat up. She tried calming her heartbeat but that didn't help with additional thuds coming from across the hall. Crystal slowly opened her bedroom door and peeked through the small opening. SLING! A few cries were heard from... Her parents' bedroom. Crystal's eyes widened in realization and bombarded into her siblings' bedroom. On one side was a girl, named Cerelia who was 8, and the other was a boy, named Leo who was 5. They were still little kids compared to Crystal; a teenager who was 15.

She shook her siblings for dear life. Her young sister groaned while the brother was reluctant to wake up. "It's an emergency!" Crystal hissed. The siblings woke up and started panicking. "Hurry, go downstairs!" The little children padded their way down but before Crystal could join them, she was pulled back by what feels like sand. Crystal yelped as she was dragged into her parents' room, forcing her to confront the murderer. It was a tall, dark man with golden, shining eyes. He had the most malicious smirk Crystal has ever seen.

The figure darted himself toward the girl but she tried her best and broke the door down and made her way downstairs. "Grrgh!" Crystal hissed. She found her siblings sitting in a corner in the kitchen. When she huddled with her siblings, Cerelia handed her a knife. Now it was not just any knife, but it was a chopping knife that peculiarly a bit larger than the average. On both sides were Crystal's initials marking that knife as her property. Crystal was a bit insane but she used it for good.

Crystal wrapped her arms around her siblings tightly as they heard the front door being broken down and several other different voices shouting. Crystal hushed her siblings when she heard them whimper. The kitchen door slowly creaked open before... A huge... Bunny? Crystal stared at the gigantic animal in front of her. "What? Never seen a bunny before?" He remarked in an Australian accent. He slowly hopped towards the children and spoke in a hushed tone, "Don't worry. We're not going to hurt you. We're here to save you."

Crystal engaged a stare down with the rabbit before she unwrapped her arms from her siblings. She stood up as her siblings followed, but still cowering. "C'mon! We need to get out." The siblings hesitantly ran after the rabbit, running outside to see other... Creatures. A plump golden man, a bird lady, and a Russian-looking man. "What's going on?" She asked trying not to sound weak. "We'll explain later, just get in the sleigh." The Russian man motioned towards a huge sleigh with rein deers. "Santa!" Leo cheered as he attempted to climb up the sleigh. Crystal decided to follow as the man says and helps her siblings into the sleigh.

At the North Pole

The siblings drank hot cocoa in front of a calming fire as elves brought in some cookies. The 'people' came back with forced smiles. "Care to explain?" Crystal asked in a soft tone, setting her mug down on the coffee table.

A while later

Leo and Cerelia were done crying and settled to hiccuping from crying too much. Their parents were killed by a boogie man named Pitch. The guardians were worried about the sobbing children but Crystal's calm and serious expression made them on edge. Crystal sighed before slumping down on the couch, "I don't want to live with our other family members." The guardians were shocked, expecting to hear some sort of little remorse. She was already thinking on how she would support their lives. "Crystal! Mama and Papa just died!" Cerelia shouted, looking at the eldest sibling with tear filled eyes. "I know but I don't have time for mourning. Besides, I've been grieving all my life and I'm trying to move on."

Crystal looked away from them as flashbacks replayed by her eyes. You see, the eldest suffered from Borderline Personality Disorder. So she gets hurt real bad even when it is a measly thing. She's been bullied and laughed at by other people and her parents themselves. Sure she felt a bit sad that they were killed but she needed to be strong since they always told her she was weak. 'I'll show you.' Before she became engulfed in madness, she shook her head and turned back to the guardians.

"I made the yetis prepare a room for you three, you've been through a lot so you might need to rest." North offered. Crystal nodded and muttered a thanks and directed her siblings to follow.

With the Guardians

"North, what are we going to do?" Tooth panicked. North was combing his beard in thought. "I need to go research on them first." Was all he said before he left the worried guardians.
