"Oh- I'm so sorry Ember" North said as he put his hand on my shoulder. Once I and Jack had gotten to the North Pole we explained what had happened, and soon enough I was wrapped in a blanket with a hot cup of cocoa and was still a shaking mess. I didn't respond to North- I only looked at my cup. All I could think about where my babies. Where they okay? Where they hurt? Are they alive...?. I let out a heavy sigh as I set the cup down.

"Thank you North..." I managed to speak in a shaky voice. He smile warmly and knelt down looking up at me.

"For you? Anything- I only wish I could do more!" He cupped my hands in his. My hands looked like children's hands compared to his. I gave him a frail smile before he got up.

"I have spare room in left hallway of 5th floor- make yourself comfortable- if you need anything tell Yeti" he said before waving and leaving towards his office. Jack who had silently leaned on the wall finally approached me.

"So- I guess I'll take my leave" he said as he stretched. He moved towards the window and in a swift motion I was hugging him from behind. Why did I do it?? LIKE HELL I KNOW! I just moved on my own. 

"Quinn...?"
"Please don't leave me..." I said in a whisper. He sighed and I felt a hand placed over mine.

"Alright princess" he said. I punched him. He groaned in pain.
"What gives!!" He whined. I puffed out my cheeks.
"Don't call me princess!!" I said folding my arms. He stared at me with wide eyes before laughing and shaking his head.
"Let's just get you to your new room" he said as he got up and walked past me. I sighed a bit and followed him. He seriously was a weird one.

Soon enough we made it to my room.
And
It
Was
Huge

Like seriously how flippin big was this place??? God I don't even know. My jaw fell open when I saw the bed- holy-

"Dang- Quinn this bed is big enough to fit 4 yetis!" He laughed as he jumped onto the bed. His back hit the mattress and I watched as he became totally relaxed. I smirked a bit and shook my head. I walked over to a dresser and opened one of the cabinets. I found pajamas that looked to be my size. I went to the connected bathroom and closed the door behind me. I changed into some pajamas. I felt much better in something comfy. I walked out of the bathroom and noticed jack had fallen asleep. He laid there on his side. I walked closer and saw just how peaceful he looked asleep.his eye lashes were white- hm... never noticed...

"How long you gonna stand there" Jacks half asleep voice caused me to jump. He smirked a bit and chuckled. He moved closer to the wall his back facing me.

"Here- you can take the other half" he mumbled. I blushed softly and just laid there. It was still and quiet.

"Hey Quinny..."
"Hm?"
"I'm proud of you... you'll be believe in soon". My eyes widened as I felt him roll over and stare at me. I rolled over and was met with his deep blue eyes. We laid there for a while before Jack rolled over quickly. Was he blushing...?

"A-any way ... good night" he curled up into a ball. I gave a smile- a genuine smile. I leaned my head against his back.

"Thank you Jack..."

I soon fell asleep like that. In complete serenity. I'm not sure why but I feel as if I can trust him. But as fairy tales have always told me. Nothing lasts forever.

(Dream sequence)

"Quinn"
"Quinn"
A voice ring in my ears. It was pitch. His shadow looked over me. I held up my daggers and growled .
"What are you doing here pitch" I scowled. He chuckled and circled me like a vulture waiting for his prey.

"Feisty little thing aren't you?" He teased. I growled.
"Easy! Easy! No need to get angry- we're on the same boat!" He raised his arms as he gave a menacing smile.

"How So..." I glared hesitantly. My feet peddled away from him.

"You and I both long to be seen- to be heard by someone- anyone! Those guardians wouldn't understand! They can be seen- they're loved . You and I are the only ones who understand each other!"

He was right... what ground did I hold ? I'm not a guardian. They were all high and mighty- I've lived in fear for the past 300 years- I'm nothing compared to them- to him- we're in two separate worlds. So far apart and distant. How could I ever believe that him and I- were part of the same solar system??.

"Quinn Ember- Do not lose hope that easily my child" a calm voice echoed in my mind. Who was that...?.

"Ugh, you again- haven't you given up hope on your stupid guardians??" Pitch cowled.

"Quinn- you have been chosen for a reason- find your center"
"Find your center- Quinn"
"Quinn"
"Quinn"
