Fear of the Dark

Chapter 1

I don't know how this happened. 

All I remember is the moon. I used to talk to the moon every night. It seemed to calm my fear of the dark. Then one day, boom, I know a big man called North, a huge bunny called Bunnymund, a pretty hummingbird ish woman called Toothiana, and a yellow little man made completely out of some kind of golden sand called Sandman.

I also know a man made of darkness called Pitch. Our relationship has always been very weird.

I still talk to the moon as often as I did. He told me he wants me to take care of his creations. Make sure they feel welcomed into this world and be their friend. It takes a while to help them all, sometimes more then a hundred years. 

I look more human then all of the others, I have (h/l) hair and (e/c) eyes. But the thing is, I've never gotten older then 18. Well that's a lie, I'm over 400 years old. I'm younger then some of the guardians.

I have few powers and don't do anything to children. They can all see me too, I'm more human then all the guardians.  My hair colour seems to change with the environment and lighting.  

At the moment I live in Burgess, going from house to house as this type of hitch hiker. 

Its almost Easter, but it is snowy.  My hair is this silver colour because of the snow and it's about noon or so.                                                                                                                                                                                                 I'm walking down the street looking for my next sleeping  place. Its very beautiful out. All the sudden this breeze comes without any explanation, and a kid on a sled speeds past me with a boy about my age flying with him.                                                                                                                                                                        He seems to be guiding the kid through the street. I get curious because humans can't fly so this boy has too be a creation of the moon. I start following them, running as fast as I can. Because of the snow its hard to run and I start falling behind.                                                                                                                                I see a snow plow on the road and the kid is heading in its direction. I gasp in fear for the kids life, but the boy seems to see the snow plow too and steers the kid in another direction. I sigh in relief as the kid screams in terror. As he turns to a ramp made by this flying boy he is air born. I run as fast as I can to get a better look at what is about to happen and see as the kid crashes into some snow. He stands up and is very exited and happy as he gloats to his friends standing in front of me, I look at the boy standing on the statue of the founder of Burgess smiling like he did a good deed.                                       Then out of nowhere a sofa slides into the poor kid and tackles him to the ground. A small whoops forms from the boy's mouth. The kid then reappears from behind the sofa and is holding a tooth. 

" My tooth came out!" Is all he can say as he walks satisfied to his friends, they seem as exited as he about this tooth but the boy is quick to show his displeasure.

" What about all the fun we just had? That wasn't the Tooth Fairy, that was me!" The boy says annoyed. The kids don't seem to hear his rant. He flies in front of them as they walk to the pavement.

" What does a guy need to do to get a little attention around here?"  He then continues as he is right in front of them but the kids don't hear him once again and as he closes his mouth they simply walk through him. I try to call out to him but he flies away before I can even get a word in.

Why had I never seen him before? 

I decided to not find a place to sleep because I need to help this boy. I follow the kids but I keep my distance so they don't suspect me, always looking around to see if the boy is somewhere in sight.
