Rose stood there starring, she just knew toothina was going to fear her the second she saw her. How did she even get here, and why!?  Was rose's one thought, then she spotted one of the little tooth fairies near tooth, watching the poor child. It looked so familiar.
That's when she remembered, not to long ago rose had to scare a child not noticing a little fairy was there. When she roared to wake the child rose ended up scaring it as well. It came in view as she roared and was very terrified by her. Rose felt so bad about it. She try to nab it so she could apologize once she was out of site, but that caused it to run away from her.
It must of told toothina about what happened, then tooth herself came to investigate.
Rose was so tense right now, all of her hard work of hiding from the other guardians was about to go down the drain. That's when rose notice the child fast asleep in their bed, their fear began to stink up her nose. They then started to cry in their sleep, causing tooth to panic and try to wake them up more.
"Stop..." rose said instincts taking over. Tooth froze stiff and slowly looked at her. Rose just glared with her glowing, red, nightmarish eyes. Fear washed over tooth instantly and she looked terrified, rose's prediction was correct. They always were, she's been doing this job long enough to know everyone's reaction to seeing her. She frowned it hurt because tooth was her ally.
"W-who are-" tooth mutter out.
"You need to leave..." rose intrupded her, she slowly walked closer to her, causing tooth to back up against the wall. The little fairy hiding.
"N-no! Not if you're planning to hurt the child!" tooth got herself to bark out even though fear control her.
"I said you need to leave! I will not repeat again." rose snarled at her. "unless you want to be seen, because last I check you are not suppose to be!" tooth gulped as she stared at her before looking at the child. "If you believe you're helping them, you're not...now be smart and just leave before I make you..." tooth's heart was racing, she didn't know what to do, but her fear soon took over.
Tooth slowly went to the window, she looked outside then back at rose and before she knew it she was running away, flying out of there fast. Rose watched, once tooth was out of site her scowl dropped and she looked hurt and sad. She then look at the child not noticing, again that the little fairy was still there. She stared as a very slow rumble came up her throat before she let out a hellish, room shaking roar. Which made child scream as they shot up, now awake. The little fairy watch as a fearling pop out of the child, it look at rose before trying to make a run for it. Rose was quick as she clawed it before it almost got away, turning it into a wisp, in which it disappeared in a puff. The child looked at rose fear rose up in them at the sight of her before screaming again. They wildly look for something to protect themselve with.
Rose was in deep thought as she stared, slowly reaching out towards them wanting so badly for them to not fear her. She was about to speak when they threw a hard toy at her face, making her yelp, catch the toy, and hold her face. She back away in pain, snapping back. Her ears then twitched as she head their parents coming. That's when rose went to her original form disappearing from their site, besides the fairy. Rose watch as she stood there, they came rushing in and quickly aided their crying terrified child. She winch when the child yelled that she was a horrific, scary monster. The little fairy just watched rose. It's fear had washed away when it sow rose's hurt face and glassy eyes. Rose clinched her hands fighting tears as she quickly walked back into the closet, the fairy quickly followed her. The monster in the closet is protecting the kids? Both went through to rose's home before she shut the door. She now stood there before flopping down tears starting to fall.
"Curses! Now she thinks I'm a monster just like the kids! All my hard work is gone, and now all of them will hate me! I didn't want that...that's why I wanted to be a secret...but now...they'll know..." she began to cry "their all going to have that face that she and her little fairy had, The face of utter terror when they see me..." she couldn't fight it back anymore she hung her head low crying.
The fairy looked at her still hiding. It watched as rose removed her hood reviling a kind girl, she looked towards the moon in tears. The fairy's eyes widen when she sow, she was the monster!? But how? It notice where the toy hit her that there was a red spot and lump. It quickly flew to her. Rose looked, she jumped and  backed away from it when she spotted it.
"W-where did you come from!? How did you get here!?" rose barked. It flew closer to her, rose now look scared and tensed up with her back against the wall. "D-did you follow me!?.." she muttered. It gave a nod keeping it's eye on the red mark. Rose watch it get closer and check it out, she was freaking out her heart racing. It then look at her making it's usual chirping nosies, rose's eyes widen, she could understand it. "I-Ice?...yeah I have some...but it's fine, I've got hit by stuff before, it'll just go away..." it frowned at her sadly by that. It chirp more, asking if her job was to wake kids, and stop fearlings from harming them. Rose gave a slow nod. That made it fly up and give her a cheek sized hug. Rose flinched a little watching it. It wiped her tears away and made a smile pointing to it. Rose smiled a little "heh..Thanks..." it gave nod like saying welcome. She slowly frowned again and sighed. Rose got up and headed downstairs, the fairy following her. Rose got to the first floor and headed for the kitchen. She glance back to see it still there. "You know you can leave..." she gesture to a window as she walked. It didn't say a thing and started looking around at her unique home.
Rose's home had several shelves full of books and toys, items that were thrown at her by kids. She had a retro tv infront of a couch and chair. The couch was made up of a regular mattress which was pushed back against the wall, with several different types of pillows to form the back cushions of it and two for arms. Her kitchen was open up by a open counter to devide it from the living space. Across from the kitchen was a tiny dining table with two chairs, looking rather lonely. The fairy also sow the entrance to the hallway which lead to more rooms. It stopped looking around when it heard rose collapse into the couch. It look to see that rose had gotten a ice pack putting it on her wound. It flew over and sat on one of the pillows looking at her. Rose look at it. "You're not going to leave?" it shook it's head. "How come?" it shrugged before flying and turn on the tv finding something to watch. She stared puzzled it flew and sat back down. Rose watch it for a moment before she trun to watch tv, laying down keeping ice on the bump. The fairy stay to help take care of her, she seem to need it. Rose drifted into a sleep something that was rare for her. The fairy looked, it then got up, flew around before finding a blanket, and covered her up. A little moon beam told the fairy thank you it gave a nod and smiled.
