Slightly shorter due to tiredness and lack of botheredness. Thank you for your reviews, follows and favs.

North sent Toothina to investigate. Meanwhile, they had to find something to do while I was there, since they weren't used to ordinary teenagers. After several attempts at distracting me, consisting of cooking, painting and making me sleep, they left me with Jack so they could burn some time. Before I explain how Jack entertained me, I'll start by explaining North's attempt and Bunny's attempt.

North decided I should make cookies, however, since I was new here, I paid little heed to keeping an eye on the elves. They sabotaged my cookies and made some sort of disgusting cookie curry and they set a kitchen towel on fire. And, well, I panicked. North eventually had to put out two towels, three elves and a now black yeti. After that he knew I drew trouble to myself, so he sent me to Bunny.

Bunny laughed at North when he informed him on what happened. Then he dealt with me. First he gave me a pencil and paper. Soon I ran out of paper because on both sides I had drawn the 5 spirits in different poses and situations. After that, I was allowed to paint on a canvas. I painted North's workshop, using neon yellows, pinks, blues and greens with some dark contrasts. After finishing that rather quickly, he set me on painting one of his googies'- an egg. I painted it like a carrot and complained that I was bored.

Sandy successfully distracted me, but only for an hour. I dreamt about tying bows on nightmares and sprinkling pink glitter everywhere. Then I woke up.

Now back to where we were. I was hanging around with Jack. Unlike the rest of the guardians, he apparently hung out with a teenager called Jamie often, so he could kind of handle me. And by handle, I mean in his own little way. As soon as we were alone in one of North's larger empty rooms, Jack picked me up and sat me on his lap. Materialising a snow beard and hat to look like North, he chuckled, picked me up and dumped me on his lap.

"So little girl," Jack said in a crappy Russian accent, "Vat do you vant for Christmas?"

I rolled my eyes at him. If this was dealing with me, then this Jamie was extremely immature. To satisfy this teenager, I half played along.

"Hmmmm," I said, stroking my snow goatee that had appeared, "A unicorn!"

I giggled, ripping off my goatee and slamming it onto my head. This took him by surprise. Huh. I guess he didn't expect me to be so bubbly. I hopped to my feet.

"Expect the unexpected young lad" I said mockingly, now with a snow moustache.

"Are you sure you want a unicorn?" Jack purred.

Um, why the sudden change of posture Jack? It was kind of creepy. I tried to stop him being creepy by throwing my snow goatee-horn and my moustache at him. It sort of worked, but he dumped a pile of snow on me. So I hollowed the pile out and waited.

Crunch.

Laughter.

Crunch.

Jack was not very stealthy, seeing as I could hear where he was. So I picked a moment, took a breath, and took out his legs. Unfortunately, when I landed, I landed nigh on, on top of him. Blushing, I got up, and helped him up. Then I walked over to his discarded staff and gave it to him.

Believe it or not, those 3 (4) activities took up the day. I slept in the guest bedroom North had prepared for me. It was a cozy small bedroom. The carpet was a deep earthy brown, almost looking like soil, but much much softer to the touch. The wallpaper was festive; snow white with forest green trees and cherry red stripes. The wall closest to me had a bookshelf lined with fairytales. On the other side of the room, there was a bed that was just big enough for me. It was made of, from the looks of it, mahogany, and all the covers were white. The bed was, by chance, right under a small skylight, of which the bright moon shone through. I got into bed and fell asleep instantly, almost like magic.

My eyes opened to see a hole in the ground. It was fairly large and all the greenery around it was dead. My instinct was to bolt, but instead, I approached said hole. I could hear faint screams emitting from wherever the hole led to. It was too dark to tell anything else.

I slid down the tunnel, soundlessly landing in a musty poorly lit cavern. The walls were slick with slime. Obsidian cages hung everywhere, each containing a chained up teenager. Some sort of fine black sand was eating at their skin, making it bubble and burst till the whole body was black and the only way to tell them apart was their terrified eyes. They had become fearlings. My stomach flipped. I quietly untipped my lunch onto the floor. It wouldn't have been so bad, but along with the transformation came intense pain. Blood curdling screams never ending. Cries of fear choked out by sand.

It was HORRIFIC.

I moved on, unable to stand it anymore. Somehow, I made my way to some stables. Inside the paddocks were nightmares. At first I panicked, recalling my last meeting with them. Then, I processed that I was relatively safe if they were in their stables, so I walked away.

Finally, there was this ledge. On it was a thick leather bound book. Curious, I flicked to a random page. On it were names of people and if they had been transformed yet.

I backed away from the book. Pitch wanted to turn me into a fearling! I backed into a tall cold body. Spinning on my heels, I was met with a pair of golden irises.

I woke up screaming, all five spirits at my bedside. I had a cold sweat and my heart was pumping faster than when the nightmares had chased me. Something wet was on my cheeks, and I think they were tears. Bunny carried me into the globe room and sat me of the sofa with a blanket and a hot mug of coco. Sniffing, I recounted my dream/nightmare to them. Apparently, when Tooth investigated briefly, she too discovered the teens, locked up and being turned into an army of fearlings. My suspicions had been right.

However, I was in greater danger than any of us had imagined.

DUN DUN DUUUUUUUUN!

Had this chapter planned for so long! But I had trouble with dragging it out, until now! :3 THANKS FOR READING!
