Review if you can please!

North took a hold of Jaclynn's shoulder and steered her to a small lift on the right. When they reached the lower workshop, her gaze marvled at all the wonderous toys and hardworking yeti's. North hurried ahead to their unknown destination, but Jaclynn called out to him, "Hey, slow down. I've been trying to break in here for about 200 years since I found out where it was." She turned to a yeti, who was directing the others in toy proudution and made a friendly greeting,"Hey Phil!

The said yeti gave the white-haired spirit a hard glare and cracked his knuckles threateningly but you could tell he was amused. North, who was wondering how he never knew about the attempt break ins, gave her a questioning look. "Oh don't worry, I never made it past the security yetis." she reasurred while freezing some clueless elf. "Hey Santa, I thought the elves made the toys?"

He ignored the Santa jab and lent down to whisper,"We just let them think that. Now come." North led her through two simple wooden doors and into an office. Santa Claus's office. Jaclynn drew a deep breath while taking in all the beautiful ice carvings. "Now, to buisness!" thundered North. The door behind he locked itself and North took a step torwards her. She backed up intill she hit the wall behind her. He set his large hand on her shoulder and peered into her ice blue eyes. "What is your center Jaclynn Frost?"

Jaclynn blinked not understanding the question. "Umm, blood and guts are in my center has them.I think." North let out a deep chuckle.

"No, I meant..Wait! I will show you instead!" He turned from her and fumbled around the room for something. "Aha!" he declared triumphently. He brought out the object. It was a matryoshka. North had wooden nesting dolls of himself. Creepy. He brought them closer to her expectant face. "What do you see?" Jaclynn looked at the mean looking North doll and supplied,

"You looking fierce?" North nodded and said excitedly,

"Now look at these. I am jolly. I am mysterious. I am fearless. I am caring. Lastly I am.." North opened it to the center to reveal a tiny wooden baby with enormous eyes.

"You are a tiny baby with eyes the size of the moon."

"Close! I have big eyes! Eyes that can see the wonder in everything around me." His voice dropped to a whisper as he repeted his question. "What is your center?"

"I..I don't know. I'm snowdays and fun stuff. Not your work and dead lines. You guys may have wonder to give, but have you ever heard of a snow day?" Her voice bacame stronger and she gave a flip as she raised into the air laughing. "Now that is fun. No school,snowmen, snowball fights, and at the end of the day, a cup of hot choclate with your familiy. North smiled as her eyes lite up in excitment. Suddenly they heard a fluttering of wings outside the window. Jaclynn could see the outline of Tooth hurrying past them. Bunny burst into the room in a battle ready stance.

"Hurry. Theres trouble at the Tooth palace."

Jaclynn stood there akwardly as North commanded yetis and put on his signature coat with sleeves that barley covered his naughty and nice tattoos. She only followed them as they prepared to leave when Bunny grabbed her arm and dragged her behind them as she complained that she did NOT sign up for this. "Well maybe if you would hurry your freezin butt up, I wouldn't have to drag you like a little ankle-biter!" defended Bunny. Jaclynn didn't reply, only stuck out her tounge. As she stumbled out of a backdoor of sorts, North shouted,

"Is the sleigh ready? Excellent!

"Wait a miniute. There is no way i'm climbing aboard some stupid old sleigh like a Christmas pres...Wow. Jaclynn stopped and stared in amazment at a huge upgraded sleigh, with extra seats pulling up for guests. Not to leave out the wild looking reindeer that came stomping and rearing in. "Okay, maybe one ride, but only for Tooth's sake.

"No one can resist the sleigh!" claimed North good-naturedly.

"Not everybody mate." said Bunny looking a little nausous at the thought of climbing on to the vehicle.

"Aww, is the whittle bunny whunny afwaid of the big bad sleigh?" Jaclynn cooed mockingly.

"I'll show you how a real bunny does it." growled the Pooka. She laughed as he hopped onto the sleigh in defiance, only to get a sick look on his face. "Bunnys are meant to stay ON the ground!" Once Sandy, Bunny, North, and Jaclynn were seated, the reindeer surged forward. When they reached the clear blue skys, Bunny shrunk down so he wouldn't have to look at the frightening heights. Well frightening to him. Jaclynn was having a blast. Sandy watched on in amusment as she let out a challenge of "Watch this Bunny" Bunny made a half-cry of distress as Jaclynn was sucked off the sleigh by the wind. Bunny scowled and Sandy made a silent laugh as they peered over the edge to see a smirking Jaclynn sitting on the metal landings of the sleigh comfortably.

"Aww, you do care."

"You wish, you stupid showpony." retorted Bunny, but his wary glances at her every few minutes showed that he really was worried for the troublesome spirit. Finnaly North pulled out a snowglobe, threw it, and shouted "Tooth palace". As they went through the portal, Jaclynn frowned at the all to familiar sucking feeling. The others soon joined her, but not for the same reasons. Swarming around the magnificent palace, were large black shapes, which Jaclynn soon identified as horses. These un-natural horses were created of sand, had deep yellow eyes, and inside them were little tooth fairys and golden tubes trapped in the rib cage bars. She let out a cry of relif as she clasped a fleeing baby tooth in her hands, freeing it form it's dark pursers. She whispered words of comfort to the shaking fairy in her hand as she brought them over to an empty platforn the others had landed on.

Jaclynn looked around at all of them until her eyes landed on a distressed looking Tooth. "Oh Jacy, they took everything! My fairys, the teeth! But you should of seen them. my fairys fought brilliantly!" The look of pride on her face reminded Jaclynn that Tooth was a fierce warrior. Silently, she brought out Baby Tooth, she had named, and flew her to her mother. Tooth let out a sigh of thanks and hugged her close.

"How touching. All of the guardians gathered toghether. But whose this? Jack Frost, are you with these annoying good-dooers? What a shame." Jaclynn spun around, trying in vain to place the speaker.

"This is why everyone thinks I'm a boy! It's Jaclynn to you." The offender finnaly stepped out of the shadows.

"Pitch" all the guardians growled.(except for sandy obviously) Pitch laughed and stepped aside.

"Oh, but I'm not alone." Out of almost nowhere, came a strange human like creature. "Please welcome my new-found and newly-awoken friend, Hypnos, everyone."

Cliff-hanger! Muwahaha! Here is the twist I promised everyone! He will have a major role so hang on for more! Please check out my poll on my profile and review! Merry Chapter and to all a Good-night!
