A/N: So how are you all liking it so far? Let me know in the reviews if you have any comments or questions about the story.

Chapter 3: Why do you hate humans?

"There is nothing to talk about" her voice was flat but it had a softness to it that the Gardians DIDN'T miss. Then she was gone. And not the gone as in they watched her leave. No, she disappear in thin air. The Gardians all stared at the spot they last seen her in complete shock.

After a few minutes of standing there in silence North was the first to break it. "Do vou know her, Jack?"

Jack looked at him then all the others. They were all looking at him waiting for his answer.

"I don't know to be honest" he finally admitted "but staying here doing nothing isn't going to get the answers... nor is it any fun" and with that the wind wrapped around him and took him to look for her.

It didn't take long for him to reach his lake, though he didn't know why the wind took him here, it was suppose to take him to Raven. He stood there trying to figure out why. Then a voice resounded around the lake.

"You were looking for me, Jacky?" It was a gentle, sweet, kind voice that calmed him greatly, he knew that voice and this feeling it gave but from where? How do I know her? He thought. Then he remembered that she had spoken he looked up and was captivated by her eyes. They were a beautiful grayish white with a hint of blue that look like they are moving kinda like the clouds in the sky but there was a darkness hiden in them that sent a shiver up the winter spirit leaving goosebumps. He shook it off and finally spoke.

"How do I know you, you seem so familiar to me." Something flashed through her eyes that he almost missed, was it hurt?

She turned away and spoke, " I don't know what you are talking about Jacky." Her voice was flat again but had a hidden emotion in it but the white hairs boy couldn't figure out what it was. "Anyway I'm sure you have a ton of questions so go ahead and ask them and I'll decide weather or not I want to answer them. Then we can go and have fun." She said the last part with a big excited smile on her face and a childish spark in her eyes that made Jack smile.

"Okay then, who are you really? Where did you come from? And what are you the spirit of exactly?" That emotion flashed through her eyes again but he ignored it. He was more interested in what she had to say.

"No comment." She said flatly.

"Okay, well, Why did Manny pick you to be a Gardian?"

"I don't know, took me by surprise too... Next question."

"How did you find out about being a Gardian so fast?"

"No comment."

"Fine, Why don't you wanna be a Gardian? And why do you hate humans?" He expected her to say no comment but instead she was quiet so he looked over at her. She looked very deep in thought so he waited. After a few minutes of standing there in silence she took a deep breath and finally spoke.

"We should probably sit down" She gestured to the ice as she sat down and he took a seat next to her on the ice and waited for her to start. "First off I don't hate, not even humans, but I just don't trust them. Second, what do you think will happen if the humans found Santa's work shop or Tooths tooth palace or bunny's Warren? They would take it over and destroy all the beauty in them. They would steel all the riches from them. Just like they did to Atlanits. The spirits there didn't hide from the humans but welcomed them in with open arms and the humans let their selfish greed take over. They started raiding the city taking everything they thought to be valuable. So they spirits plunged their city into the ocean far away and hidden from the humans and their greed. Ever since then spirits have hidden their homes because deep down they know they can't trust the humans. Even your Gardian friends."

Jack was shocked he didn't know the true story behind the "Lost City" let alone that it was real. "The Gardians never told me that." Jack mumbled abcentmindedly.

"Because they don't know it happened before the moon created them."

"Then how do you know?"

"Because I was there."

A/N: well what do you think? I know that the story of Atlantis isn't original I came up with it at the top of my head but I hope you like it. Please review

Oh and by the way the spirits of Atlantis are marmaids. Just to give you an idea of what those spirits look like.
