Yeah…I wanted to hear what she had to say. But I also threw down the condition that we talk away from the cabin and she put it back the way it was.

She agreed a little too eagerly and once I knew Crow was going to be okay, I followed her into the woods to a clearing I played in with my mom and Crow. The world rested under a blanket of sparkling white snow. The clouds moved away as we walked to the center of the clearing and the moon rose high and full.

Nature turned and faced me with that moon above her. I gave her kudos for the effect but a less than nice score on her execution. What…did she think I was still a kid? "Do you know what you are?"

"I'm Amelia Frost. Daughter of Jackson and Sarah Frost. And I'm a witch."

Her face wasn't hidden by shadows so I saw her eyebrows arch in surprise. "So you know you're gifted."

"I know I'm a witch because Crow told me I was."

"But you don't know what that means?"

"No." I put my hands on my hips. "What did you want and why are you using my dad as leverage?"

She held up her hand. "Patience and I will tell you. Incarnations such as myself, and others like Death and War, are all positions filled by humans after their death. We live our human lives and when an incarnation is killed, either through their own stupidity or sometimes no fault of their own, they have to be replaced. Originally the position held by your father was inhabited by one of the dead."

"No, it was my uncle."

"Before him. But because Winter screwed around with your crazy grandmother and had twins, that order was interrupted. Your brother was bestowed the honor—in fact he asked for it. Your father moved on to live a normal life. Until your uncle, that damn hybrid, fell in love and decided he didn't want to be Jack Frost anymore. So," she said as she lowered her hand. "He was killed and your father became Jack."

I held up my own hand. "Correction. My father was forced to become Jack Frost when my crazy grandmother put a bullet in his heart."

Nature shrugged. "Same thing."

"No. It's not. He's in that position because if he were to become human, the bullet would kill him instantly."

"Seems the old Crow has told you more than I thought."

"You mentioned hybrid."

She nodded. "Half human and half incarnation. Like your father and uncle, and like you. The seed was already in his blood even with his power sealed. Winter did that, thinking he could protect him from me."

"How did you find out about me?"

"A dwarf told me. I didn't believe him at first so I tested you and you instinctively used your power to protect the cabin. This is your element."

"Element?"

"You're a Winter Witch. An elemental. I've been without a Winter Witch for a century. Now that you're awakening and coming into your full potential, it's time for you to join me.
