Chapter 38: Naughty Or Nice

The girl stared at you for a long while as well as your young son. You knew that Jef already knows about this. You put your weapons down and gazed at your kid. You noticed that he was holding the girl's hands.

"She's Pitch's daughter alright but that doesn't mean that she's as evil as his father." Reasoned Jef while looking at you.

"How'd you know?" you asked furiously and glimpsed at Ashen.

"I don't know… I don't know yet but she's just a kid. Don't judge her that easily."

Jef was becoming matured at this situation. You sighed deeply and gazed at the winter spirit behind you. He smiled and walked towards you. He leaned closer to your ear and whispered, "Don't you think that we should take her to North?"

You breathed deeply and said to your son, "Jef…" you whispered, "I want to talk to her first… please…" you pleaded and Jef nodded and stood aside.

Ashen didn't want to let go of the winter spirit's son's hand. Jef smiled at her sweetly and the girl nodded. She put her head down and played with her hands while you knelt in front of her.

"What's your name?" you asked nicely and it took her a few minutes to respond.

"A- Ashen…" she whispered shyly.

"Ok Ashen… tell me… where did Jack and Jef found you?" you continued.

"I- In the forest not far from here." She stuttered and fixed her eyes on yours. You observed them and this really reminded me of Pitch's eyes. You shook my anger away and grinned at her instead.

"And how did you get there? There's no way that you walked from somewhere to here at the North Pole?" You added and looked at her hands. You touched them and felt nothing. It's lucky you thought or else you don't know what you can do with the girl.

"She may be Pitch. Only disguised as a little girl. Pitch knows that we, guardians, have a weakness when it comes to children. And Jef… she might be trying to be close to him to get through me… But just like my son said… don't judge her that easily." You thought.

"Some- one… sent me. I woke up at night and realized that I'm in a place where it's full of snow. I was alone at that time and I heard a voice." She said and checked the place. She leaned closer to your ear and whispered.

"I heard the moon talk to me." She added and your eyes widened.

"What?" You managed to say under my breath. "The moon?" you repeated and she nodded.

You gazed at Jef and Jack but they didn't hear what Ashen said. You stared at the floor and sent you thinking deep. There's no way. Why would MiM revive Pitch's daughter?

"And… wh- what did the moon say?" I asked in a hushed voice that the two boys can't hear.

Jack and Jef looked at each other and felt confused. Your son tried to listen but you shot him a warning look and he abruptly ran and hid behind Jack's back. Ashen giggled and this made you smile at her. A real smile.

The young girl straightened and continued to explain, "He said my name first then I asked him why am I doing there. Then that's when he asked me If remember something about my father." Ashen looked down sadly and faked a grin at you.

"I remember some. Very little actually…" she murmured and continued, "I remember him leaving me… He's in a ship getting ready to explore the seas… the- then… after…everything changed… It became dark… and scary…"

Ashen let out a tear and you lightly rubbed the girl's back. "I asked the man in the moon to save y father because he got tricked but he said he can't do anything unless I go to North."

"That's why you're here…" you whispered and Ashen nodded.

"I- I know that my dad is… not a good person right now.. bu-but he's a loving father…" she explained.

"I know… I saw the soft side of your dad." You said and smiled. "He's still keeping a locket with your picture in it." You said and Ashen's face enlightened.

"I have a locket too!" she said joyfully ad showed it. Ashen opened the locket and showed you the picture of her mother and father. Pitch was way different in the picture. And her mother… she's really beautiful. This reminded of your parents. You put the necklace around the girls neck and Ashen touched it gently.

"Ok Ashen…" you said and stood up. "I think it's time for you to meet North." You added with a grin. "But I must warn you North will speak with the man in the moon and if you got caught lying… well…"

"I understood." She said formally with a satisfied smile, "I know."

You grinned and gazed at the two boys. They wee looking at you and Jef was still behind his young dad.

"Come here you." You said and your son hugged you tightly.

"You scared me!" complaint Jef and he saw Ashen looking at the two of them. He thought that maybe the girl remembered her mom.

"Ready Ashen?" asked Jef and reached out a hand. Pitch's daughter nodded and grabbed the boy's hand.

They all walked to North's workplace and they were all surprised to see the winter spirit and Jef. Bunnymund walked to the young guardian and they started to fight.

"Uh… I thought all guardians are close friends?" she whispered in Jef's ear and the boy chuckled.

"Well yes… but Jack and Bunnymund are not so close." He explained and they both laughed.

North greeted your son and the winter spirit joyfully but what got his attention was the girl beside Jef. North gazed at you and you just gave out a polite smile.

"Who is she?" asked the man in the red suit and gazed at the girl. Jef was about to answer when you signed him.

"Don't get tweaked alright?" you said and looked each of them. You stood in front of the two kids, In case of a bad action sooner or later.

"She's Ashen… Ashen Black."

"What!" The big four said in unison, except for Sandy who wrote "WHAT"with about a hunded exclamations.
