Frost and Ember

by AvaVermillion

They thought that Pitch was gone for good. But we all know that where there is light, darkness will always exist even in the smallest of corners. He's coming back and this time, there's no telling what he'll do next. They need all the help they can get. But why would she if all they've ever done was hunt her since day 1? Maybe a certain Winter Spirit can help cool her down. JackXOC

I continued to run in fear, stumbling over every burnt object as I dash through the ash covered land. Behind my back, a boomer rang appears through the smoke and comes flying at me. I barely dodge it as it flies past my head only for me to trip on a fallen tree and fall to the ash covered ground, my hood flying off to allow my hair to lit back on fire. "There she is!" Right when I got back on my feet, a figure swoops past me with sharp cutting wings. I almost lost my footing but I balanced myself back in time when the large rabbit appears from the ground in front of me.

"You ain't getting away from me ya fire starter!"

He threw his boomerang in my direction, but this didn't faze me. I lift my arms up to shield myself from the flying object only for the wind to suddenly pick up and lift the boomerang over my head, swiftly taking off my hood and allowing the flames to burst back to life on some parts of my body. Scared, I held a hand up to stop them and cried out, "Get away from me! Don't come near me!" But they still didn't listen. A large man dress in red appeared from the sky and lands right in front of me. "We don't want any trouble..." I watch as he slowly lowers his weapons to the ground and takes a few small steps forward. "We just want to talk."

My hands instantly blazed with fire. "I'm done talking!" I first aimed at them, but instead, I decided to go for the ground instead. I set the ground in front of them a blazed, blocking their path and preventing any of them from getting close to me. Every time someone tries to fly or jump over the flames it rose even higher, when when the bunny tried to go underground, he'd pop his head out then dive straight back down when the flames automatically went after him. "Why can't you just leave me alone!?" By accident, I caused the wall of flames to burst. Once I see this, I quickly disperse the fire only to three of the Guardians knocked down to the ground.

Thankfully the sandman wasn't with them. However, there was one who I know for a fact was watching over us. I look up at the sky to see none other than the moon himself, glowing as brightly as ever. While in my trance, one of the guardians woke up and came flying straight at me. On instinct, I quickly sent a ball of fire straight at whoever it was but quickly regretted it once I heard the loud screams of pain echo in the air. "No... No!" I rush over to see it was the tooth fairy, who's feathers were slightly burnt on her turned left side. "What do I do...? Why does everything I touch-" I shut myself up and focused on trying to calm myself down.

"Now isn't this a surprise." I froze at that all too familiar sinister voice. "Such a brilliant flame shouldn't go out so soon. Not when the night has just begun." A sudden black arrow comes flying straight to where the Tooth Fairy laid. In a sudden burst of adrenaline, I dashed in front of her just in time and created a shield of fire with my two hands. The fire disintegrates on contact, falling to the ground into a pile of sand. "Why are you protecting them?" I could see his ghostly figure swimming through the dark, night sky. "You should be fighting them. Look at what you can do! You have so much power that they fear it, and you."

I could feel something brush against my cheek. "Something like that has to be contained in their eyes. Do you know why?" Pitch finally appears at my side and attempts to lean against me, but jolts away from the pain of the heat I was giving off. "They want to continue their little fantasy that they can protect their precious believers forever until they're all grown up, but with you around they start to feel inferior." "Talk all you want-" My hood comes flying off as the wind begins to pick up, allowing my hair to burst into flames. "But there's no way I'll join you or let the guardians catch me!"

As the light coming from my body begins to brighten, Pitch backs away at the intense light then disappears from the spot to flee from getting burnt into nothing. Once I saw that he was gone, I calmed myself down and pulled my hood back on. Looking back, I could see that all of the Guardians were starting to steer and attempt to rise back up. One of them stares up at me in awe. I wanted to say something to her but when I saw the familiar golden side stare to appear from the horizon, I gave her one last glance and ran off as fast as my legs could carry me.

To Be Continued

Thank you for taking your time to read this short intro. For a while now, a friend and I have been trying to bring this fanfic to life ever since 3rd year high school, and after finally taking her time to help me rather than focusing on her own fanfics, we decided to collab together for this intro alone to create 'Frost and Ember'. I don't know how long this fanfic will be but hopefully it's finally chapter will be out by new year's eve. This friend of mine goes by the name AveryScarlet, and she's been a very helpful in helping me make this come into reality as she has had more experience on this site more than I. I hope to do more in the future. Take your time to place your thoughts on this and hopefully you'll wait to see what lies ahead for out little Fire Spirit.
