I walked to the map room, my eyes keeping to the floor only until I was right in between the oddly familiar strangers and Pitch "I hope they treated you well" Pitch says smugly, caressing my cheek, my eyes stare into his, a sad look in them, for Pitch was no longer the same man I loved, I move my face back and away from Pitch's hand "what's happened to you?" I ask in a caring tone "nothing, I'm the same, just not filled with weakness" Pitch snaps his last statement. "Pitch... You think I'm a weakness?" I ask as tears fill my eyes, my question more of a statement, he stays quiet for a moment, as if thinking "why don't we take this outside?" He asks with his evil grin, we don't get a second to react, his nightmares surround us, walk backwards till I'm next to Tooth, the blue eyed boy in front of us both for protection, when the clouds of nightmares disperse we are outside, our location not far from the workshop. "Why don't you come with me, swan?" Pitch asks as he holds out his hand, I feel Tooth's hand tighten around mine, I look to the blue eyed boy, him looking into my eyes, I blink from his kind stare and turn away, I let go of Tooth's hand and walk to him, the feeling of me doing this before filling me, along with the urge to sing "I know you, I walked with you once upon a dream" I sing beautifully low as I walk to him, his face going to confused "I know you, that look in your eyes is so familiar a gleam. And I know it's true that visions are seldom all they seem, but if I know you, I know what you'll do, you'll love me at once, the way you did once upon a dream" I sing as I walk closer to him, me feeling all eyes on me "but if I know you, I know what you'll do, you'll love me at once, the way you did once upon a dream" I sing as I see his eyes spark a familiar spark "I know you, I walked with you once upon a dream, I know you, that gleam in your eyes is so familiar a gleam". I sing as I place my hand on his cheek and look into his eyes "and I know it's true that visions are seldom all they seem, but if I know you, I know what you'll do, you'll love me at once, the way you did once upon a dream" I sing, the song ending and I ended up right in front of him, he seems surprised by my sudden singing, I turn my head to see the blue eyed boy staring in awe along with Tooth and her friends, I face Pitch, my eyes holding small tears. I place a sweet kiss on his lips, me closing my eyes and feeling his body tense, but slowly melt into my kiss, his arm holding me close, I separated from him, his eyes seemed to glow white, he reaches into his cloak and pulls out a golden half sphere holder, I instantly knew what it what, it held the truth, what happened to me, why I was here, all the answers to my many questions, I look back into his eyes with wide eyes "place your hand on it" he says, his words like he was struggling to say them. I look at him confused, but I give him one last kiss and place my hand on the golden holder, magic golden dust goes into my hand, my eyes widen as memories flash through my head, but not fast enough so I could gain them properly, "Pick on someone your own size" he says although I doubted they heard him, he laughed, as I walked to him, my legs hurting and my hair covering my face "thank you" I say as he turned to face me, eyes full of wonder as he faced me. His eyes being the only things I saw as a sky blue hoodie, with small snow accents, covered his other features, eyes being a handsome, amazing with blue and his pants, them being wooden brown and them falling just in the middle of his calf, and him being barefoot, but what took most of my attention was a hooked wooden staff, one that was the same hue as his pants, white kissing the edges and mixing with it's natural color, I didn't know why, but he seemed familiar. "You can see me?" He asks astonished "yes... How come they couldn't?" I ask "they don't believe in me" he answers "but you can see me?" He asks once again "yes" I answer confused "sorry it's just.... I've had trouble meeting someone who is both seeing and believing" he says (another memory)
I looked at him confused, but before I could ask him anything, my legs gave up, making me almost fall to the floor, he saw me fall and instantly caught me before I fell to the hard ground. His hand wrapping around the back of my waist holding me close, as I tried saving myself, my hands catching his sky blue sweater, as I gripped on it, his hand cold and giving me goosebumps, my eyes found his as he held onto me, his eyes showed anger and worry "what did they do to you?" he asks as he let go of his staff to touch my cheek (another memory) "what's wrong?" He asks "it's nothing..." I say "I'm sure it's not" he said "it's just... You know what I see in the horizon?" I ask as he stayed silent to listen to me. (Another memory) "aww, cute" I say to one as I bent down, the small elf smiled and gave me a small snowflake shaped like a rose "thank you" I say as I placed a small kiss on the elf's cheek. The elf turned red and pointed to Jack, I stood back up to meet his eyes "did you make this for me?" I ask "do you like it?" He asks shlyly "absolutely" I say, I gave him a small kiss on his cheek, me leaving him in a daze as he placed his hand on his cheek where I kissed him, I walked back to the side of North. Him holding a smirk, he saw the kiss, I thought "so what do you do for the children, North?" I ask "I thought you knew" he said as I nodded a no "no one really knows the true meaning of what you actually do" I admit "my sweet flower, I give them Wonder, but more importantly, I give you the wonder that Jack will find to love" he says (another memory) "you always sent me letters, so sweet and caring, no matter if it was Christmas or not, you sent them" he says as I gave him a smile. My letters holding secrets and sadness of my life "but what I loved most, are the wishes you sent" he says "what did she wish for, mate?" Bunny asks "I will only tell if she wants me to" North says as the guardians waited "I wished the same thing every year, the wish bringing me hope, memories, wonder and dreams... I wished for snow" I say as Jack's eyes found mine, along with a smile "why snow?" North asks, although he knew the answer "it's more than snow.
