Doubt anyone will come but just in case, here's what I have so far:
I found myself sitting at a table with a plate full of choc chip cookies and glasses of milk. The room smelt like peppermint. A cool sensation hit my side making me shiver.
I looked to my right and discovered a half opened window. The scene outside showed heaps of snow going on for miles as snowflakes blew with the wind. looking behind me I saw a cream coloured couch that could seat four people. And next to that was a huge wooden bookcase loaded with heaps of books.
My stomach grumbles uncontrollably as I turn back to stare at the red and gold door. Remembering the plate of snacks, my hand reached out for the top cookie. The door in front of me flew open and I snapped my hand back in surprise.
In came a tall, buff and a little rotund man. He had bright blue eyes, think black eye brows and a long white beard and mustache. The man had pulled off a long red coat with black fur trim and placed it on one the back of the chair that sat opposite me. A red plaid shirt was revealed. He had words "naughty" and "nice" tattooed on each forearm. It was, of course, the one and only Santa Clause. Or as he liked to call himself, North, guardian of Wonder.
"Ahh, here she is," his thick Russian accent echoing off the walls. He sat down with a thud and tried a smile. "Now, tell me little lady, why would you come to North pole?"
I thought about it but I couldn't think of anything, not really. I mean..
"Well, I guess I wanted to, uh, talk to Bunny" I confess looking down at my fidgeting hands. I heard North mumbled something in Russian under his breath. A loud bang came from outside the room followed by laughter and shouting. I looked up to see North rubbing his eyes.
"Can't leave them alone for a second!" the wonder spirit complained, shaking his head. A cool breeze came in from the door and a boy about the same age as me rushed in.
He had white hair and pale skin. His stature was tall and slim. He wore a blue hooded sweater, frost collecting around the ring of the collar and trousers bound with lighter material starting from the knee down to the rather tattered and frayed bottom. There appeared to be no shoes, which was crazy because we were in a room in the north pole. The boy chuckled leaning on a long staff with a G shaped arch at the top.
"Hey North, why doesn't Bu—" he turned around but stopped talking as he noticed me watching him with curiosity. I was taken off guard by his bright blue eyes staring into my chocolate brown ones.
"She's a believer?" he poked North with his staff. I turned to North who nodded. The boy smirked as he came and sat down in the seat next to his friend.
"Hi, I'm Jack Frost, guardian of fun. What's your name? Tell me your story" he pressed. Somehow seeing him reminded me of someone and to be perfectly honest, it scared me.
"M-my story?" I asked confused. I wasn't expecting them to want to know my life's story. To be honest, I wasn't sure what to expect. Certainly not this at all. His eyes had gone soft, full of comfort.
"You know, what made you want to go on an adventure to find North's workshop" he explained, swinging his staff around, almost hitting North in the head.
"I'll probably bore you," I protested, playing with my fingers once again. When I look up once more they both were leaning close, waiting. I roll my eyes and sigh. "Alright, I warned you." They both stood up and gestured me to the couch. Once seated I started.

So, first off, my name is Mina. I am sixteen going on seventeen in two days. And all this mess started after the break up.
It was around 10pm and I was heading home from my friends house. The night was cold and dark, no place for a young girl like myself. As I walked passed my boyfriends street I received a text from him telling me he was sorry and that he had to break off our relationship. I had asked why but he never replied. On the urge of tears I ran home only to run into my guy best friend, Alec.
I had told him what happened and he had comforted me as he walked me home. We had arrived at my front door. I had thanked him but he didn't want to leave me alone while I was still upset. I was grateful, however if he had stayed the night I knew I would get in trouble with my parents.
So he managed to convince me to stay outside for a bit longer. In that time he successfully made me laugh, forgetting about the pervious event. By this time it was around 11:30pm and I was beginning to feel weak and tired. Vulnerability mixed with anger and sadness isn't a good mix when you find yourself not wanting to leave someone's side after a break up. And I about to find that out.
"Alright Mina, it's time you got some sleep." Alec sighed, obviously not wanting to go. I had my head on his shoulder and I was on the brink of falling unconscious. Alec smiled, brushing a strand of hair out of my eyes.
