Jack:
I have a dream. This one is different from all the others I had though. This one started in the dark. I felt myself stumbling around trying to find a way out. I start calling out to see if anyone was there. Then I was at the lake. There was a low glow of light coming from the water that was under the ice. I stare at the ice on the lake. The sketches where different from mine. Then across the lake, there was light. The light was just as bright as the Man in the moon himself. But this time, the light was not from the Man in the moon. I saw a person. The light aluminates from the persons skin. I called out to the person. But the person did not move or answer back. But I could make out the person a little. Long hair blew in the wind. And I saw bright shining eyes. It was a girl.
I wake up with a gasp. I'm surprised when I find myself breathing unevenly and try to catch my breath. I look around me for a moment. I was in a tree by the lake. The one where I came from. The whole forest around me was still frozen from the blizzard I caused last night and the lake was frozen. I stretch for a second and dangle my legs over the side of the branch. I thought about the dream I had.
What was that all about? I asked myself. The girl's image was still in my mind. Her hair in the wind and her bright eyes. No color, just really bright. She made me feel warm, and that's a wired feeling for me. Because, I'm Jack Frost and Jack Frost is never warm. Usually. I touch the tree I'm sitting on and frost appears all over the side. I jump form my tree to the ground. I swing my staff casually towards a tree and it freezes with a layer of ice over it.
In my dream, it was like she got ride of my darkness and made everything right. I shack my head. What was wrong with me? When did I turn all mushy and romantic? I try to push back my thoughts of the dream, but the dream was still clear in my mind. I decide to go into town.
This will distracted me for a while. I thought with a laugh as I froze the sidewalk making two kids slip, and laugh. I ride the wind through town freezing a few fountains on the way. I then spot Jamie. Now he prefers to be called James. It's been two years since I've been a Guardian and Jamie is now twelve. He walks down the street, backpack in hand, heading to school probably. His brown hair has gotten longer and he has lost the round child like face. He has a red coat on and a pair of sneakers on. I fly down to meet him. He doesn't see me at first so I decide to pull a trick on him. I call the wind and the wind blow off his cap he has on. He bends down to grab it off the ground but right before he grabs it, I move it again with the wind. He takes another step and tries to grab. I just move it again. He runs after it and I pick up the hat with the wind and I grab it. I let out a laugh.
"Hey Jamie! You lost something?" I say wiggling it in front of his face. Jamie just gives me a serious smirk.
"Hey Jack. It's James by the way. Now can I please have my hat back?" He says kind of grouchy and snatches the hat back.
"Whoa! Who woke up on the wrong side of the bed this mourning?" I ask laughing. Jamie sighs.
"I'm sorry Jack. I just stayed up all night last night doing homework." Jamie says. He walks across the street and I follow flying behind him.
"That sucks man, but I guess you got to get that stuff done." I say shacking my head not knowing exactly what to say. Jamie just hangs his head low. Looking like he is about to go back to sleep again.
"I wish I could just fly off somewhere else, like you." Jamie says. He kicks a rock in frustration.
"Oh ya and not being seen by anyone is fun!" I say sarcastically.
"Well at least people don't bother you about stupid stuff like school or have you clean up things all the time." Jamie says. Then down the street a girl turns the corner and waves at Jamie. It's Pippa. She has her white cap on and a green coat with a matching scarf. I see Jamie staring at Pippa as she makes her way towards us.
"What about Pippa huh? Wouldn't you miss her?" I say joking. Jamie gives me a quick scornful look before Pippa comes up to us.
"Hey Jamie! Hey Jack." She says with a smile. Jamie blushes a little.
"Hey Pippa." He says a little quiet.
"Come on Jamie! Where going to miss school!" Pippa says. Jamie doesn't correct her about his name.
I guess he's going to let that slide with Pippa. I thought with a smile. Jamie turned and looked up at me.
"See ya later Jack." He says with a smile. He waves goodbye and walks to the school with Pippa. I just fly in place for a second watching Jamie and Pippa walk down the street.
It was like yesterday Jamie was 10. I thought kind of sad but still happy that Jamie is growing up good. Well as good as any teenager. I take off, shooting into the sky. I was going to make some mayhem around the world, again. Making people bundle up in their coats, slip on some ice, and make some snow days for school kids. Same thing everyday. I let out a sigh.
Kim:
It started out dark. I try to look around and find my way out but it's to dark. I start to wonder how I got here. Then I find myself at the lake by my house. The lake has a soft glow on it and I looked confused at it. The ice that formed on the lake, looked like some one sketched on it, with its little patterns of ice. Then, all of a sudden, there was bright light above me, much brighter then the light that aluminates from the lake. At first I though it was the moon, but there was something flying in the center of the light. I squint at the figure to see what it is. Then, I see short shaggy hair falling of a hood from the hoodie the figure was wearing and his eyes… his eyes where a hypnotizing blue. It was a boy. The eyes of the boy have a shining glint in them as they stare at me. Then he flashes me a breath-taking smile.
I wake up and sit up quickly. My breaths are uneven and sweat was building on my forehead. I try to get my breathing back to normal again, but it was still a little edgy. I take another deep breath and look around my room. My room was still painted with it's light blue. Posters covering every inch of wall. Some were drawings and some were posters from bands and actors. I walk over to my windows and open the blinds. It had snowed last night. The ice covers the trees and there's frost on my window. I look at the road and see that it has already been plowed.
Guess I'm going to school today. I think sadly, but I go over to my dresser and get dressed quickly. I decided to put on a purple long sleeve shirt and a black hoodie, zipped up half way. I put on a pair of skinny jeans and some black boots. I run down stairs quickly. I grab a bowl and cereal and started eating. I turned on the TV to the news. Just in case school decided to close. Witch was probably doubtful. I was still eating when my mom came in. She was already in her work clothes and was brushing her hair, because she got out of the shower.
"You're eating NOW?! Come on, where leaving in five minutes!" She says pointing at her watch.
"Ok, ok!" I say as I get up to dump out the rest of my cereal. I run to the bathroom quick. I try to tame my wild brown hair. Eventually it settles. I brush me teeth and put in my contacts. My violet eyes a bit watery after I put the contacts in. My mom always loved my eyes. I run back out to the kitchen and grab my black plaid button up coat and white scarf. I also grab my bag and run out to the garage. My mom sits in the car waiting for me.
"Do you have everything?" My mom asks.
"Ya let's go!" I say. Then she turns out of the drive way and heads down the road to school. I mess with the radio on the way to school.
"Oh I love this song!" I say and turn it up. I jam out to it, bopping my head up and down. My mom laughs at me. After the song ends I turn it down and put on my serious face.
"Mom I was wondering…" I say she gives me a look, like she knows what I'm about to ask and she doesn't like it.
"Can I go to the lake and ice skate?" I ask. She frowns and looks at me. She has a very sad look in her eyes.
"You don't have your ice skate though." She says.
"I uh, kind of do. I packed them up last night, just in case." I say grinning a bit. She just sits and thinks about it for a bit.
"You know that lake is not really frozen yet." She says. "I don't want you skating on thin ice." She says trying to end the conversation. She never let's me go ice-skating on the lake since…Dad. He was driving and it was a bad night. It was a big blizzard and there was ice on the road. The car slide and flew off the road, into a river. He drowned in the car. That was three years ago, when I was 13. Now I'm 16 and ever since the crash, mom would only let me skate on ice rinks. I miss the lake though. I always went there in the mornings or my parents would come with me. We would always have fun. I look sadly out the window when I think of all this. I breathe in quickly in fear that I would cry, because if I cry, my mom cries and I don't like crying, let alone seeing my mom cry. I was determined to go skating on the ice though. But I just kept quiet until we got to my school.
It has been another long day at school. My mother couldn't pick me up from school today, so I had to walk. I walk down the street and the wind picked up. Then a few minutes later it started to snow. I took off my hood to enjoy it. I loved snow. My mom hates it though because it reminds her of… I was about to take the road to my house when I stopped. The trail to the lake was to my right.
Mom will be gone for a few hours I heard a voice say in my head. I thought about just ignoring it but… the temptation was just too much. I gave one more glance down my road and I take the trail to the lake. I walk down the trail and the buildings start to disappear behind the trees. Then all of a sudden the wind picked up and blew my hair all around. Then all of a sudden I get a feeling. I look behind me. For some reason, I have suspicious feeling. I look behind me quick but I see nothing but forest. For some reason, I had a feeling that someone was following me.
Jack
I fly back into town. It has been another day of making blizzards and having fun. I fly over Burgess, looking at all the people walking on the streets. I fly down close to the school. I see Jamie and Pippa exit out of the school. Pippa laughs at something Jamie said. I chuckle at the two. I've talked to both of them and they said they both liked each other, but the funny thing is they won't tell each other they like the other.
I fly down the street a bit. Then I see someone on the street. The person had on a black coat. It looked like a teenager or something. I fly down next to them. The person doesn't see me, obviously. From the looks of it, the person was a girl. I was curious.
Who is this girl? Never seen her around her before. I thought. I though for a second, then decided to look under the hood. I fly in front of the girl and look under her hood. Just then her eyes looked at me. I was stunned. Her eyes where a pricing violet. She had a glint of light in her eyes. Her eyes made her look so beautiful. More beautiful then anything I ever made with snow. I was so stunned I forgot to keep flying and she walked through me. But when she walked through me she felt…warm. I never felt warm before. I couldn't help it; it was like my feelings took over my powers, it started to snow lightly. The girl looked up at the sky and took off her hood. Light bounced off her hair. It was a light brown color. Her hair went passed her shoulder a few inches. Then she smiled. It took my breath away. When she smiled it made me want to smile to. She looked like she enjoyed the snow.
Then she stopped.
What's wrong? I thought to myself. I walk up to her. She was looking down the road. Then she looked down at the trail that leads to my pound. It looked like she was questioning something.
Is she thinking of going to the lake? I thought to myself half hoping that she would. She gave one last look down the road and headed towards the trail. I watch here got down the trail.
What is she doing? I thought to myself. I flew after her down the trail. When I flew I stirred up some wind making her hair fly everywhere. After the wind stopped she stopped again. She looked behind her looking confused. Then she just continues walking. After awhile on the trail, we finally got to the lake. She stopped to look at the lake, and then she set her bag down. She dug through her bag and brought out a pair of skates.
Kim:
I brought out my pair of skates. I sat on a log and took off my boots. I slipped on my skates and tied them up. After they where tied, I stood up and walked to the ice. I take a deep breath.
This is what I wanted right? So just do it. I thought to myself. I took a step on the ice and half expected it to crack butit held my weight. I stepped on the ice, my whole body on it now and the ice held just fine. Pushed off and I was skating around the ice. It's been years since I ice-skated on this pound and I'm loving every bit of it. I skated around in circles for a bit and then I started to skate backwards. I tripped and fell but I just laughed and got back up again. I started skating back wards again and then I started to spin. I spun really fast as I brought in my arms close to my chest and went faster and faster.
It has been a good hour. I spun and then I heard something. It was a deep crackling sound and it was coming from…underneath me. I looked down at the cracking ice, just before I fell in. My whole body went under water and it took my breath away. The water was so cold it felt like a million knives where being pressed against my skin. I fight the water as I try to swim back up to the surface but my ice skates held me under water. I was slowly making my way up but my lungs where screaming for air. I broke through the surface the surface with my hand but I was so tried and cold, I couldn't make my legs move anymore so I could get above the surface. I start to sink back to the bottom.
O god this is it! I thought. I decided to just close my eyes and let the darkness surround me.
I guess at least I will be able to see dad soon. I thought sadly. My lungs now felt like they where on fire. Then I heard something come into the water. I looked up through the water and I saw someone. The person had pale skin and hair as white as snow. But all I could focus on was the person's eyes. They where a really dark blue, but they had a glint of light in them.
Wow, they look just like my dads eyes. I thought a little happy.Then I passed out.
Jack:
I watched her spin on the ice. She moved so smoothly. I was in a nearby tree watching her my legs dangling over the side. She fell on the ice and laughed at herself. When she laughed I laughed and she got back up, and started to skate again. She's been skating for an hour. But I never got bored.
I'm surprised that I could sit still so long. I laughed at my thought. She started to spin again but then she stopped. I looked at her to see what she would do next but then I heard something. There was a low rumbling sound coming from the lake. Then before my eyes I see her disappear into the water below.
"NO!" I shouted. I flew off my tree so quick I dropped my staff. I grabbed the staff quickly and ran to the hole in the water. But then I stopped when I walked on the water it made the hole in the ice grow smaller. I started flying over to the hole instead. I hovered over the hole. I looked into the water and then… I saw a hand break through the surface then slip back beneath the water. Without thinking I dived into the water after the girl. When I got into the water I opened my eyes and saw that the girl was sinking fast. I swam to her with all my might. When I got closer to her I saw she still had her eyes opened. She stared right at me. Her eyes looked strangely calm but behind that I could tell that she was scared. Then her eyes slipped closed. I urged myself to swim faster. I finally got to her. I wrapped my arm around her waist, staff in my other hand. I started swimming back to the top. I pushed harder, trying to get the surface faster, because I now I was about to lose my breath and she needed to get out, now!
Then just before I lost my breath, I broke through the surface with the girl. I gasped for air and then I flew out of the hole with the girl. I flew over to the ground and set her down. I kneeled on the ground and coughed a few times. I looked over at the girl. I pressed my finger against her neck, her pulse was faint. I took her face in my hands.
"Hey? Hello!? Hey, wake up!" I shook her a little and slapped her lightly on the face. Then she coughed up a whole bunch of water. She breathed in quickly and her eyes popped opened. She looked around wildly.
"Hey! Can you hear me?" I said.
Of course she can't hear me she doesn't believe in me. I thought. But I pushed that thought away for now. I needed to help this girl. I picked her up and had her put her arms around me neck. I shot up into the air with her. I flew back to the town as fast as I could. In my mind I was trying to figure out where to take her.
I don't know where this girl lives, and I can't take her to the hospital, how would she explain that she flew into the hospital while unconscious? Just then an idea popped into my head. I urged the wind to help my fly faster. I flew down a few more streets and then I flew in front of Jamie's window. I saw Jamie in his room working on homework. I knocked on the window quickly. He didn't look up. I got frustrated and banged on the window. He looked up finally. His eyes grew wide and I waved quickly for him to open up the window. He rushed over to the window and opened it up. I flew in and set the girl on the bed.
"Who is she?!" Jamie asked bewildered.
"I'll explain later. Do you have some more blankets? We also need a thermostat." I said to Jamie. He just nodded, gave one last look to the girl on his bed and ran out of the room. I went over to the girl on the bed. I took the covers and wrapped her in them. She moved a bit in her sleep. I tried to stay as far away from her so I didn't get her cold again. Then Jamie came back in with more blankets. We put them over her and checked her temperature.
Jamie:
"Her temperature is a little cold I think, but it's getting back to normal." I said. Jack stands away from the bed, probably afraid to get her cold again.
"So, who is this girl?" I asked Jack. He was looking at the girl then looked back up to me; as if he was surprised I was there.
"I don't know. I just saw her walking down the street and she headed towards the pound. I didn't know where she came from either; I never saw her around here before. Then she just started skating and after a while, she caused the ice to crack and she fell in. I saved her and brought her here." Jack says occasionally glancing over towards the girl when he talked.
We looked after the girl for about an hour. I made sure Sophie stayed out and checked what time mom would be home. She wouldn't be home till six. We checked her temperature; witch was getting better little by little. Whenever she shivered Jack insisted we find another blanket and give it to her. Pretty soon all the blankets in the house, was with the girl. After we checked her temperature, witch was like, the 12th time we checked, she started to move around. Then her eyes fluttered opened. She let out a moan and Jack's eyes lit up when he saw her up.
"Ask her how she feels." Jack says. I look at him.
"What?" I asked. I wasn't good at talking with girls and this girl looked like she was 16.
"Talk to her! She can't see me remember?" Jack said to me. I just nodded slowly and looked at the girl on the bed. She sat up and rubbed her eyes.
"Uh, where am I?" She asked me. I just looked at Jack and then back to the girl.
"I'm James Bennett. You're in my house. One of my friends saw you fall through the ice at the lake and brought you here." I said. She looked around my room, confused. She was sitting on my bed, witch had blue covers. My rooms walls witch where a plane white. Then I have my desk, closet, and dresser.
"Oh uh, thank you." She said. She threw all the covers aside.
"Hey she can't go yet!" Jack said to Jamie. The girl looked at Jack.
"Uh, why not?" She asked. My jaw dropped and Jack just looked at the girl with a dumb look.
"You…you can see me?" He asked walking up to her. She just gave him a confused look.
"Ya, why wouldn't I?" She asked.
"Because he's Jack Frost." I said casually. Jack gave me a dirty look. But the girl just looked confused. Then she laughed. Jack was stunned and I just looked at her like she was crazy.
"I'm sorry!" She said still laughing. "It's just hilarious how serious your face was when you said that!" She still laughed. But just as she was laughing, it started to snow. She looked around her. She wasn't laughing anymore.
"H-How…how are you doing that?" She asked. This time Jack talked to her.
"What he said was true." He said, "I'm really Jack Frost." He took her hand, to show her that his skin was cold. She just stared as his hand for a second. Then looked up at Jack. She pulled her hand away from Jack and ran out the door.
