POV Elsa

Jackie blows away the birthday candles from his seventeenth year old cake. He still doesn’t come to live with us and Emma was the one who finally convinced him to come. In silence he ate his chocolate cake piece that Emma had baked. ”Good,” he said to Emma shortly.

I was glancing at Jack who did the same to me. “Uh, Jackie?” I spoke to my son who lifted his eyes from his cake. His brown eyes stared at me with empty look and he hums a response. I sighed, “We got this for you.” I hand him the present but he just lets it sit on the table.

“Thank you for the cake,” he speaks to Emma as he rises from the table. The chair’s legs scratch the ice floor. He is leaving again, like he does whenever Emma gets him to come here to eat something that she has cooked. He cannot stand me and Jack near him.

I swallow the lump from my throat as I watch after him. Never did I imagine that our happy and loving son would actually feel like this inside of him. For months he has refused to come home. Jack says that he needs space and he loves us anyway.

The present is still laying on the table when the door clasps closed. “I can take it to him this night,” Emma smiles to us. Jack messes her hair and laughs, ”Sure you can sweetheart but let him to cool down at first.” Emma went to upstairs and carried the present with her.

“He hates us,” I exhaled when Emma left. Jack chuckled, ”No. He is just thinking things through and when he is ready we can sort things out with him. Trust me.” Jack opens his arms as an invitation for me to snuggle in his hoodie. I let my face touch his chest and breathe in his fresh scent. It calms me like it always does.

POV Jackie

Birthday. Cake. Family time. So much pretending! ”Why can’t I be normal!” I yell to Man in the Moon while I watch at the night sky. He isn’t responding to me. ”Let me be normal human!” I yell again and made a snow ball between my hands. With help of my wind it flies high and far towards the moon. “Well how about a full guardian?” I yell to air and feel sarcastic.

Just the wind is responding and I fell to my knees on the snow. Why I cannot make my choice already? I should have the opportunity to do it like Manny promised to Elsa. I look at the stars, year from now I will be 18 and my physical aging stops. Everyone grows old around me except my family. A whole eternity with my dreadful family makes my chest hurt. Emma is alright and uncle North,Bunny and Sandy plus Tooth except when she tries to dive into my mouth. I exhale, my parents on the other hand.  I try to hold my crying heart from bleeding out but a loud scream escapes from my lips, “They don’t understand anything!”

A blast of ice shots from me, powder snow floats in air afterwards. Suddenly I hear clapping hands behind of me. “Wonderful, just wonderful,” a cold voice is praising me and I turn around. “What do you want?” I snap at the man in black, Pitch.

“You know that our powers would form something beautiful together?” He looks at me while grinning deviously. I look at him and I feel stunned. He offers me his hand, “What do you say boy?” I glare at him, he disgusts me more than anything.

“Why are you here?” I ask from him, how was he able to get to the North Pole unnoticed? He laughs to me coldly, watching me with his narcissistic look. ”Just reaching to opportunities,” he plays with words and is walking around me.

“Join me,” he stops and stares at me. I stand up and continue glaring at him. I grin to him and hand my hand to him, I cock my eyebrow as he reaches to my hand. “Hah! No way you idiot!” Quickly I pull my hand back and place my hands together. I am gathering the force of winter from around me. My hands glow blue when the wind storms around us and the slowly floating snowflakes are now turning more into a blizzard.

“You know sassy pants,” I mock him and a smirk escapes to my face, “that I am much stronger than my parents?” He looks around him in horror, looking for a place to escape. “You should have been thinking things a little more,” I lift my hands above me and my other leg rises up. I am like a  catcher in baseball when he throws the ball to base. “Watch out,” I say with satisfaction as I threw a snowball at him. It hits him hard and makes him lose his balance.

I laugh at him, harder than in long time. Been a long time actually since I laughed, it feels good. I furrow my eyebrows as I walk closer to him. My feet are easily staying on top of the slushy snow and my hands are now on my pants pockets. He is laying in the snow, dragging himself further away from me. My mind is creating snow balls from thin air and they’re circling around me. The cold wind with tiny ice crystals is beating Pitch while he tries to escape from me.

My laughter is almost like a maniac’s as I glare at him, without sympathy. “Are you afraid?” I hiss to him and his eyes widened when I let wind lift me to air, I floated in front of him and my hair was waving in the storming wind. Then the moon let its light over his face and I saw his real fear. My expression softened and the wind calmed down. Slowly I landed back and saw how Pitch was running away and at some points tripping during his ran. At those moments he glanced over his shoulder to see if I was following him. What went into me just now?

I decide that it is best to walk away. He learned his lesson, I sigh and glance at the sky once more before I turn around and walk towards North’s workshop. Flying is not how I feel like doing now. It is the part of me that isn’t normal, like my powers of ice and snow. Nice alright but I would want to be someone and not half guardian and half human.

When I opened the doors I heard excited yells and wishes. There were Tooth, Sandy, North and Bunny. All of them wishing me happy birthday. Some elves were blowing to horns to welcome me. I saw balloons and Sandy did a firework show from sand. I smiled to them faintly, “Thanks but not now you guys. Maybe in the morning,” I pushed my way through with my shoulder. I run upstairs and to my room that I closed after me.

I leaned to my door and let myself drop down slowly. My knees are close to my chest and I let my head rest against them. I am so exhausted from everything. Then I hear knocking in my window that makes me rise up. I see Emma holding two presents. ”Open up!” I hear her muffled voice and I open the window.

“Yeah annoyance,”I tease her and she shows her tongue. She throws a seed to ground which she makes to grow into a long vine that lifts her up. “You forgot your presents!” She says with annoyed voice. I smile to her, ”I guess I did.” She throws them to my lap.

“Open the pink one first!” She smiles with excited look. I glance at her and slowly I open the pink ribbons. “Well the color is perfect,” I say to her and then I managed to open it fully. There is a silver painted plant pot that has Emma’s hand writing on its. “Brother and sister forever,” I read the text and she smiles. The pot was filled with black soil. ”And what is this?” I smirked to her and pointed at the pot.

She giggled and placed her hand over it. Something started to grow and I placed it onto my desk. It was a flower, “Snowbell?” A white flower was now decorating my desk and I messed Emma’s hair. “Thanks, it is cool!” She smiled happily and she offered me a blue present. It was the one that Elsa and Jack gave me.

“Do I have to?” I whined. She slapped my back, ”Yeah!” I sighed and opened it quickly. There was some wrapping paper in the way. I lifted the crushed papers from the box. ”Oh! That is beautiful!” Emma exhaled while peeking over my shoulder. I pushed her further away from me. “Aren’t you curious!” I laughed to her.

I hesitated a bit when I lifted the shining silver object from the present box. I hanged it from my hand in front of my eyes. It was silver chain that had silver snowflakes attached to it. “What is it for?” I wondered to myself and Emma took it from me. “Hey!” I exhaled when she wrapped it around my waist and it was now hanging from there. “I believe that it is for this,” She smiled.

“Oh, like a belt but for decoration?” I looked down to my waist. I hummed and smiled, actually it wasn’t that bad. ”Now you need to go to home Emma. It is late!” I hugged her. ”Good night and thank you for your gift. Tell them a thank you also,” I said to her.

When she left I examined the silver waist piece. One of the snowflakes had something carved onto it. ’To Jackie on his 17th birthday. Love Mum and  Dad.’I jumped to my bed and closed my eyes. Everything would be so much easier with normal family.

POV Emma

I walk back home from North’s house. My feelings are now much better since Jackie actually wanted to thank our parents from something. I sing to myself and then I see something moving in the shadows. “Who is it?” I whisper and the moon lets it’s glow on top of him.

“Oh, it is you,” I smile to that person. It is Pitch. “Long time, no see,” I say to him and walk towards him. He smiles to me. “Well hello Emma Frost, a long time indeed. Almost ten years if I remember correctly,” he laughs. I shrug my shoulders, “Maybe.”

“Join me?” He whispers and I laugh at him. “Sure, friends!” I shake his hand and he looks at me weirdly. “So, where do you live? I don’t think that we can hang near my parents place. I have so much to talk about with you!” I had almost forget about him since I promised to do so after what I did to Jackie. However the excitement filled me again and I just need to be his friend.

He smiles happily, his devious grin is something bizarre and interesting. “Here,” he hands me a piece of paper. “A map to my location, come whenever you can.” I nod to him and run towards my home, the ice castle. I hear him laughing and when I glance over my shoulder I see how he vanishes to thin air. “Cool,” I whisper when I saw it. Before I opened the doors I took a more serious looking expression and then I went in. “Jackie wanted to thank you!” I yell to my parents before I run upstairs. I pull out my secret box from under my bed and I watch at my sketches from Pitch.

A/N:

So.. Jackie.. Did you like his attack/defense against Pitch?  Is Jackie doing a little better? Is he?

Also Emma..well..what do you think of her? Ö_Ö

I am trying to do Jack or Elsa's Pov in every chap plus either Emma's or Jackie's...it may vary though!

One more thing! Thank you @JackFrost2003 for the idea of Pitch approaching Jackie! ;)
