"Stop being so curious." She was curious about a lot of things. Why she couldn't see her reflection. Why she was only allowed to see her mother. Why she could only remember two years into the past. Why her name did not feel right. Why she was the only one that could see the man in dark clothing in her bedroom, at night. ~~*~~ "Sweetie, stop being so curious. You know what they say--curiosity killed the cat." Satisfaction brought it back. ~~**~~ In the world of Guardians, everything was perfect. North had his presents to work on. Bunny had his eggs. Tooth had her teeth. Sandy had his dreams. Jack Frost had his fun days. "Here's one thing you do, one thing you always do," But it wasn't so peaceful for long. "Leave no loose ties behind." Pitch is back. And there seems to be one person who can help. But there's one problem. ~~*~~ "I know you inside and out, sweetheart." His voice seemed to have mocked me. "I know your fears. I know your strengths. I know what you think and what you say. I'm the only one who knows you." "You don't know me. They do. They're my fa--" "Family?" He barked out a laugh, shaking the room. The chains holding me rattled. "They're no family to you. They doubt that you're the one that's supposed to help them. In a matter of time, they will leave you." "That will--" "Keep your hopes up, sweetheart. The higher they go, the more painful it will feel when they knock you down." ~~*~~ "Please, tell me my name. I don't know if I'm a hero or just a nobody. If I'm a Guardian or a mistake. Tell me who I'm supposed to be." [Small short story] (Includes very cringe-y parts)

Remi has always loved the forest, the different sounds, smells, the way she could get lost in it and never have to go home to her non-existent parents. She goes in and out of her life with her best friend everyday just waiting until they're both old enough to leave their small boring town. But one day Remi is attacked, and nearly killed, by a man in the forest. When she wakes up everything's different. She feels something inside her, a power, but she has no idea what happened to her. All she remembers is the man's strange yellow eyes. When three new boys show up at her school, one with yellow eyes, asking her question she gets nervous. And then one night while heading to go get her friend she's taken and thrown into a world she didn't know existed. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Remi?" Jen says suddenly. "Hmm?" I hum back. "Do you ever wish you could just live in the forest? Away from everyone and everything?" She looks at me. "Free." We stare at each other for a long time. I see the real meaning in Jen's eyes. Her worries for going home to her overly strict parents. Her fears for the future and the unknown in general. "If we lived in the forest we wouldn't have gummy bears any more." I comment to lighten the mood. She doesn't find it funny. "I'm serious Remi! What if we did run away?" "Jen, we can't just run away. I know your parents are strict but I truly think they just want what's best for you." She says nothing. For a moment I fear she's mad at me but then she puts her head on my shoulder and I know we're okay.
