Chapter 27: Lost Tooth

You arrived at the place where Dylan and his sister lives. It was an old theater and it's a big one. Jef knew this was illegal but luckily, no one found out that a bunch of stray kids was living there. Dylan opened the door and they all walked in.

The place was frigid. The roof had already holes in it as well as the wooden floors. It's dusty everywhere and Jef got startled by the rats running in front of him. Surprisingly, Dylan didn't even nudged or uttered a light yelp. He looked around and noticed the chairs were already broken into pieces. Webs in every corner, ripped curtains hanging and the windows were already shattered.

"Sorry about the place…" whispered Dylan shyly.

"Don't worry about that…" responded your son with a grin.

You also looked around and realized the pain of the children living in here. You saw kids hiding just when they saw your son. Your face frowned when you noticed their ripped, baggy clothes and thin bodies. The winter spirit also felt sorry for himself. He got too focused about playing with the kids, he forgot about these kinds of children.

Dylan quickly ran when he heard his sister coughed dreadfully hard. Jef followed and after a few minutes, you three saw a thin girl wearing ripped brown dress that falls down to her knees. She has a matured face but you can't really tell what her age was because of her poor body and height.

Jack leaned on his staff and looked at the girl with worry. Dylan abruptly checked her big sister's temperature and gazed at Jef afterwards knowing that she doesn't feel good.

"What should I do?" asked the boy nervously.

"I- I… Just give her the apple and I'll run to the store to buy her medicine. Oh and do you clean water around here? I'll be needing it later. " He responded and the boy nodded.

"Don't worry, I'll be back as soon as I can." Added Jef and with that he was gone.

You and Jack followed your son and when all of you got out of the old theater, the winter spirit carried Jef and flew away.

Arriving at the drug store, Jef bought a medicine for fever also herbs that you recommended and flew back to the theater.

"Dylan!" Jef called out and the boy already prepared the hot water. The kid was still boiling it and your son quickly put the herbs in. You took out the medicine and when the herb was done, you gave the girl a capsule.

"Here… drink this…" said the winter spirit's son and the girl drank the herb.

"Now, always give her this herb ok? She'll be fine maybe by tomorrow night." Said Jef to Dylan.

Suddenly, Jef noticed that the boy was crying, Dylan covered his eyes and said, "I'm sorry… I put you in this-"

"Don't say that." Interjected your son and smiled. "Now, I'll be bac-"

"Please… stay here…" a girl's voice said and your son gazed at the girl lying on the floor. "Just- just until I recover." She added.

The young guardian's son agreed and kept checking the sick girl. Jef went out of the theater to get some errands and the winter spirit suddenly tossed a basket of fresh fruits.

"I picked that up. I know every tree here in this city." Said Jack with a grin. Jef hurried delivered the fruit basket and the five children excitedly ate all of it. They left five pieces of fruits for the girl. Jef noticed that the girl she was helping was the eldest of them all.

"She must be the lead…" whispered Jef and went out again.

"Heads up!" you shouted and your son caught his favorite fruit. "Grapes!" he shouted blissfully and you giggled.

"Oh and I also have an extra apple." Added Jack and tossed it again to his son.

"Thanks guys!" replied Jef and started to eat.

Unluckily, when your son bit the apple, he shouted in pain. You quickly knelt in front of him and cupped his pale cheeks.

"What? What happened?" you asked thoughtfully.

"No- nothing… I just bit my tongue." responded the boy. "Oh well… I'm pretty beat! I think I should go to sleep. I think I can sleep right there." He added and pointed at the tree.

"Sure kiddo. I just remembered, I have to do my job. I totally forgot about it… I still have to do it." You said and kissed the boy's forehead.

"Oh right…" he whispered and yawned.

You giggled and carried the boy and said, "Come here you.." and sat him on the tree branch. "See you tomorrow…" you added and flew away.

The young guardian sat in the snow just below Jef, guarding his son and decided to sit on the roof of the theater to watch out for you. After a few hours, Jef still can't fall asleep. His right cheek ached and he felt like a tooth loosened.

He touched it and moved it back and forth until he can pull it out. He uttered a light shout and stared at his brilliant tooth.

"Yes! Now I can sleep… I guess…" After a few seconds, drowsiness took over and he accidentally dropped his tooth in the snow.

One of the Toothfairy's forms passed by and got hit by a shining light. The little fairy looked around and saw a tooth, white as snow, lying on the ground. It excitedly picked it up and hugged it because of its whiteness and left to deliver it to her mistress.
