Jack Frost Winter Spirit
Jack's POV
There was noise everywhere. The cars, driving here and there. Beeping and screeching. People were patiently waiting for the cars to stop. The wind swept a few leaves off the streets. People everywhere. I have something they don't have by waiting.
I can fly. Well I don't know how I got it in the first place but I just figured it out. The wind would carry me everywhere and I'm light as a small snowflake. At least I don't have to stand and wait for the cars to pass then walk. Good thing I can fly.
It maybe a good sight today but I have to keep going. The wind's going to take me for sure.
"Hey wind take me somewhere else!" I shouted.
I reached out my staff and I found myself drifting through the wind. It feels good to fly.
I cried of joy like a little kid again. I stretched out my arms and marveled at the sight of the street growing smaller, cars and people looking tiny like ants. I laughed and saw a park below.
( Time Skip )
Then I landed softly on the ground. Wow! This place sure is snowy. Let me see what's going on here.
"Hey catch!" A boy said.
Little children are playing. Flying their kites, chasing each other and some are playing hide-and-seek. It's good sight to see this children playing around. Should I at least join the fun?
So I chased them and then everyone ran for their dear life. I found myself laughing then I made a snowball and threw it at a kid who's reading a book. Realizing he's been hit, a frown qucikly formed on his face.
" Come on you guys, don't get this bad." He whined.
I laughed at his reaction. I made and threw another snowball at him. His frown grew even more but he scooped up some snow and hurled it at some random kid whom he thought he started it, which was me by the way.
"Jamie, that's so not nice." A kid told him. His name's Jamie huh? Well Jamie, this is time you can get a winters fight of a lifetime.
I threw snowballs everywhere. Then it caused the children to throw snowballs at each other. Now we're having a blast of throwing snowballs here and there. I chased them and now the real fun is coming back now. I tried not to laugh as I saw a kid getting hit by a snowball then he landed in the snow, face first. Haha this is so much fun!
I looked around but I lost sight of the boy named Jamie. He was riding on some sort of a sled in a snowy hill.
I went there and climbed in a tree branch to see what will happen.
" Ready guys?" Jamie said as he was putting on some goggles.
" Ready!" Shouted some kids with him riding on the sled.
By the count of three, someone gave them a boost and down they went sliding. I followed them.
These children have smiles on their faces. It gives me joy to see this children smiling. But something's not going to be good.
While they're not noticing, a large pole was in the middle. If they won't stop, they'll get hit. No not these children! I have to act fast.
Think Jack! Think! Then an idea came to me. By creating a large snow pile, these should get the kids to safety. I summoned my staff to make a snow pile and right on time, they bumped into the snow pile but none of them got hurt. I sighed in relief.
After the kids stood up and brushed some snow off of their clothes, I glanced at Jamie who was smiling now. It made me smile too.
" Hey Jamie want another-"
Jamie? I looked at him. I asked him but he won't notice me. I try to poke him with my staff but nothing happened. He-he just passed through me.......like thin air. Was I nothing to these children? My smile quickly turned into a frown. I can't be seen by these children. I did everything but nothing happened despite my endeavors.
How I wish I can be seen by these children.
" Having fun with the children eh?" A deep voice said.
" Who's there?" I said, armed myself with my staff in case someone is trying to attack me.
Then a laugh can be heard.
" Jack just turn around."
I did what the strange voice told me. Then I saw a big, muscular guy with a long beard on his face, he was wearing a large red coat and a black fur hat. Next to him was a sleigh. A beautiful sleigh. On the sleigh, there was a golden guy with hair sticking out and was wearing a gold robe. He looked and smiled at me.
But who are these guys?
" Wh-who are you? And how did you know my name?" I asked fiercely, pointing my staff at them and ready to fight.
" We know you Jack but not by accident. Someone told us." The man said.
" What do you mean by ' accident '? And who told you that?" I said.
" Jack I'd be glad to answer all of your questions but now's not the time. The world needs you." He said solemnly.
No I deserve to know more!
I still pointed the staff at him. But he didn't seem to get shocked or frightened by my action.
" Who are you?!" I asked angrily.
" Woah, easy there Jack. Just put the staff down." He said slowly, now getting shocked.
But I didn't followed him.
Then he gave me a sharp stare in his blue eyes. How intimidating. So I put down my staff but I'm still mad at him.
" There that's good. Allow me to introduce myself." He stopped and cleared his throat.
" I am Nicholas St. North, also known as Santa Claus but you can call me North. And my comrade over there is Sanderson Mansnoozie but more known as the Sandman or should I say Sandy." He said and pointed at the guy in the sleigh who looked and waved at me.
I looked at North with bewilderment.
" Santa? Sandman? Are you really true? I've only heard those guys in legends or tales." I said.
" Yes we're true Jack. We are Guardians." He said softly.
Guardians? Never heard of those guys before.
" What do you mean ' Guardian '? " I asked.
" Guardians are people who are chosen by Man in Moon. We are called to protect all the children in Earth against the dark one, Pitch Black."
Man in Moon? Protect children? Pitch Black?
" You are chosen Jack, to be a Guardian. We need your help and the others to save the hopes and dreams of children against Pitch, for he is coming soon." He added grimly. His voice somehow frightens me a little.
But me a Guardian? No. No way.
" So whaddya say? Yes? Then hop on the sleigh and let's go find the others! "He said joyfully when he hopped on the sleigh.
" No."
" No?" He asked.
" No. I'm not coming with you." I said as I picked up my staff and leave them.
" But you can't leave Jack. The children need you." He said, following me.
I ignored him and walked away from him.
Jack! Jack Frost! Come back! His voice sounded little by little as I was getting away from him.
( Time Skip )
That sounded great. Me, a Guardian? No way. That Man in Moon or whoever that guy North said, actually chose me to become a Guardian. Ha, he must be picking the wrong guy.
As I was walking in the streets, I looked at the sky. A crystal blue and white because of thin, feathery clouds above it. I was amazed at the sky, not long before someone dragged me, hit me and put me in some bag. My consciousness left me.
I don't know what was going on but all I know is that I can feel being tossed in some vehicle and left by................
Driving?
( Time Skip )
" Jack! Jack!" A voice said.
" Jack! Help!" The voice said again. It sounded like-like a little girl calling me.
" Jack. I'm-I'm scared." The voice sounded familiar to me but I don't know who said that.
" Hey, hey it's okay. Look at me. Look at me. We are just going to have a little fun, alright?" A voice of a boy said.
I saw a frozen lake near in the woods. The atmosphere is quite calm and the wind is chilly. The trees have all of their leaves lost because of early winter that arrived. I saw two persons, standing on top of the frozen lake. I looked to see what happened.
A boy and a girl. Both have brown hair and thick clothing and was wearing some ice skates, well maybe except the boy for he was barefoot on the icy ground. They looked identical.
But the ice was so fragile that one step can break the ice easily in seconds. They were just two of them, alone. I want to help them but I can't. I can't move so I just stood there, watching them helplessly.
But here is this act. The boy then quickly took his staff that looked like mine. As he gently picked it up, he led the girl slowly to him, only a few distance away from him. Then he sticked the staff to the girl's feet and there the girl was lifted in the air and landed softly on the other side. But alas! The ice broke and the boy fell.
Jack!
What the-?!
Wh-what just happened?
Was that a dream?
I opened my eyes to see what was happening but I can only see that I was curled up in a ball and I was in some bag. A sack! Oh this is great! I've been snatched. Where's my staff?!
" Help! Anyone?! Somebody help me! I've been snatched!" I shouted. But no one seems to hear me. Shoot! I kicked the sack but it was useless. I kept squirming until I hear some voices.
" Open the sack."
Minutes later, I was finally freed by........
Sandman?! Oh man this-this can't be!
I was at the back when I saw that we're not on the ground. We were at the sky, flying. But how? I was in a flying vehicle. A sleigh!
But isn't this the sleigh that I saw earlier? The one with.......... oh this can't be good. " Where are you taking me?!" I asked.
Then the guy driving the sleigh turned around to see me. I knew it. It was North. He snatched me.
" North, get me down this instance!" I demanded.
" I'm sorry Jack but this is for your own good. And the children's." He said.
" Where are you exactly taking me?!" I shouted.
" Ok, ok I'll tell you. We're going to Scotland." Told North.
" Scotland? But why?"
" To find Merida." He replied.
" North, just let me go. I already said that I don't want to become a Guardian." I said weakly.
" Jack, this is for the children. Do you want to be believed by children? To be believed is that they can see you." North said with a straight face.
Then I suddenly remembered the children and Jamie. He just ran through me and didn't even see me. I was speechless.
" So are you in or not?" He asked.
It took me couple of minutes to decide whether I should join or not. For the children, huh? To be believed in. Destined to protect all the children and keep their dreams and hopes up high. These thoughts swirled into my mind. Should I really join? Well I guess I'll give it a go.
I sighed. " Fine, guess......I'll join." I said.
" Ok then. To Scotland we go!" North shouted.
" But- only this time. If this Guardian destiny you say won't work, then I'll leave." I said casting a sharp gaze on his face.
North and Sandy looked at each other. Then Sandy was making Sandy figures again. North nodded then looked at me.
I didn't looked at him and looked at Sandy instead. He was making some figures. At first I didn't understand but I realized he can only communicate through figures in his head. While making these figures, he told me that we are to protect all children. I sighed and looked at my feet.
" So what can you do Jack?" North asked me.
" Well I can make snowflakes, snowballs and well......more snow." I replied.
" I see. You're a Winter Guardian."
"Hey I'm not a Guardian. I'm just....well." I couldn't find the proper words.
After that awkward silence lasted for thirty minutes, North picked up a snow globe and threw it at the sky. It vanished in the wind.
"What did you do that for?" I asked in wonder.
"Snow Globes helps us travel faster." He said with a chuckle.
" Then why didn't you do that earlier?"
He just laughed and we entered into a portal created by that snow globe.
