My Snow Angel: A Jack Frost love story

Chapter 9: Memory

No one's POV:

Tooth led us through her palace and talked excitedly all the way. 

Toothiana: "So you see we collect the teeth of the children in order to preserve their memories and we share them with them when they need them most. "

Amorette: " I had no idea that teeth could be used for that purpose."

Jack: "I didn't either until I became a guardian, that was when I got to see my memories and figure out who I truly was."

Amorette stopped dead in her tracks and the others stopped  and looked back at her.

Jack: "Amorette... what's wrong?"

Amorette whispered something so soft that no one could hear.

North: "What's wrong Cupid? You look like you have seen a ghost."

Amorette: "Jack you had memories here?"

Jack: "Yes, we all do. You see we were people before we became what we are."

Amorette: "Then that means.... I was someone before I became Cupid...Toothiana, please take me to my teeth. I need to see my memories, I need to know who I am."

Toothiana: "Okay, follow me."

As Tooth led them all down countless corridors, Jack and Amorette talked. He told her about his memories of his sister and how he became Jack Frost.

Jack:"...and when we find your memories, you'll see who you were too. I know that our memories will prove just how worthy you are of being cupid. I guarantee it. I promise you that one day the children will believe in you."

They walked until finally Toothiana stopped and opened the door to a glass room. They followed her in to see jewels suspended from the ceiling catching the light and reflecting their colors everywhere. Vines and fragrant flowers grew throughout the chamber as well. Above this was a hatch in the ceiling through which moonlight poured in.

Toothiana: "This is the chamber of memories for everyone the world over.  This is where your memories will be. Now, let's see if I can find your vial."

Toothiana sorted through the containers searching for Amorette's memories. She called her fairies to her and whispered something to them and they took off. After a short while they returned and seemed to tell her something. Tooth turned back to the others who were impatiently waiting for the vial of teeth.

Toothiana: "Amorette I.... I'm sorry but it appears your memories aren't here."

Bunnymund:"Where are they Sheila? Were they taken?"

Toothiana: "No, I'm afraid not. If that were the case we would have evidence suggesting their existence on file and my fairies searched but Amorette there is no such evidence of you here. Meaning...."

North: "...Meaning she's never had memories, she was made."

All eyes went on Amorette, her head was lowered.

Amorette: "Please, you have to look again."

Toothiana: "Amorette it's no use, your memories simply don't exist."

Amorette: "No! That can't be, I couldn't have just been some creation. The man in the moon told me my name!"

Bunnymund: "Told you it, or gave you one?"

She looked up at the moon above her.

Jack:"Amorette I...."

Amorette: " You lied to me Jack! You made me think I could be someone worthy of believing in. You made me think I was real! How can others believe in someone who isn't real!? I'm nothing and I will never be anything!"

With those words the girl flew off into the night through the hatch above head.

Jack: "Amorette!!!"
