Chapter One

Lost in a New World

-...-

Baby Tooth smiled, watching her mother, The Tooth Fairy, give orders to her sisters. She was waiting for her last order of the day, as she has attended many orders this past 24 hours. She was tired, but she loved doing this just as much as her mother. Once her mother turned to her to give her an order, she paid full attention.

"Savannah Georgia, United States. 11 year old, Alexis Hamilton. It's her baby front tooth, so keep it safe!" Her mother instructed.

Baby Tooth nodded her head and squeaked, saluting to her mother. Her mother giggled and saluted back. Baby Tooth then flew off at high speeds towards her last destination. Her wings fluttered and her feathers felt the nice, cool wind as she flew. In no time she found herself crossing an ocean, the night sky and The man in the Moon above her. She gazed at the stars that shined in her eyes.

She reached land and flew across a few towns before reaching Savannah Georgia. It was very quiet, and after a long day, it was just what she needed. She noticed one or two birds in the trees, but not a lot of animals were out now. She reached Savannah and quickly found the house she was looking for.

Flying into a crack in the little girl's window, she saw Alexis Hamilton sleeping peacefully in her bed. She didn't dive straight under the pillow to find the tooth, but instead sighed and watched the girl a little. Her soft snores were cute and the way she was huddled into the bed. Too bad, sooner or later she'd be a lost light on their globe. She was 11, and as the years go by, she'll soon be a teen soon.

Shaking her head, she flew under the pillow and grabbed the tooth, leaving a quarter behind. She put the tooth in a small pouch and flew out the window and into the night.

But Baby Tooth had only flown over a nearby forest just as something stopped her. Ahead of her was a small, yet bright light. She squeaked and tilted her head in confusion. What was this? Suddenly she realized that it was headed right for her, as it was flying at high speeds. She squeaked in surprise and turned around to fly away. But that didn't help her. It was faster and it was as if it targeted her.

Baby Tooth was very tired by now and could not fly forever. She turned to see if the mysterious light had vanished only to find that it was right there, in front of her. It crashed into her, and some sort or pain entered her body. She screeched, falling to the ground below…

-...-

Baby Tooth's eyes fluttered opened and she gasped for breath. She felt cold and she shivered. She then remembered everything that had last happened. She looked up at the sky to see it was still night. Great, her mother would not suspect a thing. Not yet. She was going to take off an fly, but nothing happened. Then she realized she felt…different. Heavier and not as small. Everything looked a little bigger.

"Hmmm…" She made a noise, which surprised herself. Grabbing at her mouth, she was not greeted by a beck that she normally had. She felt…lips. Soft lips, like humans have. She felt around her face to find her nose was different, she had ears, and her feathers were not there.

Looking down, she saw feet. Human feet. No feathers, but she did have a dress. A blue, aqua, green, purple, and pink dress. The colors were faded and the edges were ripped, but her sleeves were long and her dress stopped at her knees. She had a rope which was a belt, and attached to the belt was a pouch. Looking inside the pouch, she found a bunch of quarters and a tooth. Alexis' tooth.

By now, she knew she was human, and by the looks of it, around the age of 5. Whatever the light was, it turned her from a small tooth fairy into a small human child. Now, she wondered, what does her hair look like? She started to walk around, remembering where she came from. Once past a few trees, she began to see streets. She started running, but tripped. It hurt, making tears blur her eyes. She knew what this was. It was crying. But she could not let herself do that.

She got right back up and ran forward. Once she got to the streets, she walked past two buildings and out of an alley. It was dark and her child-likeness was getting the best of her. She was scared and had no way in contacting her mother. She passed closed stores, amazed of what she saw in the windows. She passed by a mirror shop and stopped to see her reflection.

Her eyes were purple, just as they always were. They were big and beautiful. Her hair was long and straight, colored with the colors of her feathers (dark blue, aqua, green, purple, yellow, pink) but so dim that it looked almost completely gray. Her face dirty from being in the forest and for tripping, as well as her knees and the end of her dress. She looked homeless and a wreck.

"Little girl!" She heard someone trying to get her attention and gasped, turning towards the sound.

Behind her was a tall lady who wore a business suit. She had glasses and her hair, which was brown, was tired up in a bun. She bent down to look at Baby Tooth, who looked up at her.

"Little girl, are you alright?" She asked. She looked friendly, so Baby Tooth decided to trust her. Baby Tooth shook her head, meaning no.

"Huh, well, what's your name?" The woman asked. Then baby Tooth realized she couldn't speak. Sure, she could understand English, but she couldn't speak it. She never learned how and never tried. If her mother could understand her, if Jack could understand her, if Pitch and everyone else could, then who'd care if she learned English?

"…"

"Um, sweetie? Can you understand me? You are pretty young." The woman was even more concerned.

Baby Tooth nodded her head.

"Hm. Well then here is a yes or no question. Do you know where your parents are?" The woman asked.

Baby Tooth shook a no. Well, she did, but it wasn't like the lady could help her.

"Do you even have parents?"

Baby Tooth thought of her mother, now missing her badly. By now Tooth must have noticed her disappearance, right? The lady took baby Tooth's silence as a no.

"What about a home?"

Baby Tooth shook her head no, fighting tears that came back. She would NOT cry!

"Sweetie, I'd like for you to come with me. I'll give you a warm place to stay and some food, alright?" The woman reached for Baby Tooth's hand, grabbing it lightly and leading Baby Tooth down the street.

The woman watched as Baby Tooth had her other hand, wiping the oncoming tears away with her dirty sleeves. Baby Tooth was too old for this, but she couldn't help it. She was scared and missed her mother badly, just like any lone child would. Her mouth opened slightly and light, quiet cries spilled out. She couldn't keep the tears away, for it was a battle she couldn't fight herself. She needed momma. The woman stopped and knelt down to Baby Tooth's height.

"Oh, please don't cry darling. It's going to be alright. Here, if you don't want to walk…" The woman picked up Baby Tooth and held her in her arms in the way where Baby Tooth faced the opposite of where they were going. The woman's soft whispers that told her to stop crying made her feel better. Her eyes felt heavy and she knew she was tired. She trusted the woman, so felt alright to fall asleep. Plus, it wasn't like she could help it. Sleep would take her over anyway.

She drifted into sleep on the woman's shoulders, the woman taking notice and smiling. A golden stream of dreamsand hovered above baby Tooth's head. It appeared she dreamed over her mother, her sisters, Jack, Bunnymund, North, and Sandy. Her family.

The woman finally reached a large building and walked up the steps to the door. On the door was a plate with the name of the building.

"Little Apple : Savannah Orphanage"

The Woman walked in and closed the door behind her. She was greeted by a lady who wore an apron and looked like a mess.

"Mrs. Overland !" The lady ran over, taking the 5 year old Baby Tooth from the woman's, Mrs. Overland, arms.

"I found the poor child alone in the streets. She couldn't speak so I don't think anyone taught her how, but she seemed to understand me." Mrs. Overland sighed, looking longly at the child.

"Her hair is oddly colored. And I haven't seen a homeless child with such colored cloths."

"I'm sure she isn't from here. Someone would have turned her in or we might have seen her before." Mrs. Overland walked over to a small table with a glass of ice-cold water on it. She took a sip of the water and put the glass back down.

"We'll ask around and get more information tomorrow. I think we should let her sleep in a nice, warm bed. And I believe it's about time you head off home, Mrs. Hamilton." Mrs. Overland then smirked. "If I remember, Alexis lost a tooth. You should get as much rest as possibly until she wakes you up by jumping on the bed early morning with a quarter in her hands."

Mrs. Hamilton chuckled. "Alright, alright. I'll take the little girl to bed and head off."

The two woman nodded at each other before Mrs. Hamilton took the girl to a bedroom down the hall. There were snores of many other children sleeping. They ranged from ages 4 to 15, all orphans. Mrs. Hamilton found an empty bed and placed the young girl in it. She pulled the soft blankets over the girl and kissed the girl's fore-head.

"Sweet dreams." She said before walking away, off for her own home…
