Jack Frost. Jack freakin' Frost. The most annoying and childish spirit you could ever met. Jack Frost. Jack was an annoying and childish spirit. WAS. Lately he had been becoming more strung out and serious. At first it wasn't so bad. It was nice to see him taking his job with a serious view. Again, WAS.
At the start it was nice to see him become a little bit more Guardian like but when he started to get into sudden outburst of violence and anger, the big four knew something was up. Not only was he getting more violent he was becoming more intolerant of the other Guardians. He actually yelled at Tooth for touching him and then he slapped Sandy when he took one of his tiny naps when they had a meeting and no one was talking to him. He even dared to crash one of North's ice sculptures when he left the room. He even messed with Bunny by pushing down both of his giant eggs golems.
The Guardians did not like this new version of their youngest guardian.
After about a month of suffering the abuse and not being able to see the spirit smile or even laugh was all they couldn't take it any longer. One night during one of Jack's most snow filled blizzard, the big four, Tooth, North, Bunny, and Sandy, decided to have a meeting about Jack. It was held in North's castle.
North was, of course, the first one to arrive at the globe room being it was his place. North, unlike every one else, was going under a lot of stress. Jack was like his son and he had no idea how to go about this sort of situation. 'Could it be a hormone thing?' North asked himself as he stroked his beard. He leaned against the control panel, thinking. He was very worried about Jack and so were the others. 'What could be leading him like this? Could it be...Pitch?' That thought gave a shiver up his spine. Just the thought of Pitch driving his ideal son like that made his belly feel bad. Mad bad.
North was so into thought that he didn't even notice that Bunny had come in complaining about the cold. He came in running on all fours to the fire place, dodging the yetis and elves. He even narrowly escaped a crash with a few elves messing with cookies. "Oi, North!" Bunny called out as he finally made a last jump next to the fire. "North!" Bunny called out again as he rubbed his feet next to the fire.
North jumped at his companion. "Bunny don't scare me like that!" North said as he gave a jolly laugh that he hadn't down in a long time. Bunny just rolled his eyes as he saw his buddy come over with wide arms. Bunny hoped that he-oof. Too late. Bunny was in a death hug. He was no match for his strength and just went with it till he heard the familiar sound of a airplane engine. North finally stopped hugging his friend and looked up.
Sandy had been riding around in his airplane. He flew around the globe a few moments before he made a soft landing, causing a few elves to catch a drift of the sand and fall asleep. Sandy made a face of 'Oops'. North just laughed again, walking over to his friend. Sandy proofed a sand in the air above his head the shape of Jack and then a flipped table. That was the latest incident. Bunny's comment went too far and he got pissed.
North nodded to his friend. "Yes my friend we are" North said as he soon heard the sound of chatter about teeth and sectors and quarters and of course the squeak of flossing. Tooth was here. She came right through the window with about six or seven mini fairies and her spot on fairy chef, Baby Tooth. North gave a wide smile to her as well.
"Welcome my friend." He said to his female companion. Tooth waved back and gave North a big hug. "Hello North" She said as she gave a him a hug. North looked around the room and nodded. Now it was down to business. He clapped his hands and everyone stopped talking. Time to get down to it. North went next to the grand fire place.
It was handcrafted by the finest Russian and Swedish craftsmen around. There was intentions of flowers and a small town. There was a Christmas tree in the middle with light bulbs shapes carve in. The fire below brought the picture to life, reminding him of many of his old villages as a young boy, before Santa.
He sat down in his chair, which was a red velvet chair where the back was taller than him and it sunk down on the bottom. Bunny was always amazed about how it could stand his weight. Tooth and Sandy flew over, Sandy sitting in a sand chair, similar to North's, while Bunny sat on the green couch fit for two. Tooth sat next to him.
North sighed. "Comrades, I've called you here today to talk about Jack." A sudden string pulled at everyone's heart. "We must do something with him. We need to know what makes him like this." Bunny was the first to comment. "Someone needs to teach that bloody fool how ta act around people." He said as he waved his finger at North. North nodded to him. "I do agree with Bunny but I want to know why" The gang was quiet for a moment.
Tooth spoke. "Do you think we pushed him too hard?" Sandy shook his head. A picture of a lot of snow appeared above his head. "I don't know Sandy. Maybe he is over worked. Bringing winter is a big thing and the most used weather there could be." Tooth said as she knew what the pictures meant. Bunny was getting a little rung up. "He's not gettin' out of this without some sort of punishment, right North?" Bunny asked the other holiday spirit. As much as it pained him, he nodded his head. Jack is going to have to suffer the punishment of being rude but.." North sighed and rubbed his temple. "I fear this job could be too much for him. Maybe...maybe he isn't ready for this sort of thing just yet. Could it be too much of a burden?" The gang stared at him. "What are you talking about?" asked Tooth who was shocked.
Bunny had to step in this time. "He proved himself at the battle with Pitch-" "Yes, that is it. It was only for two days and won. Maybe he feels like he has to live up to that. Maybe he feels like he has to live to that and stay like that to be up here with us." The gang was quiet for a long time. "Maybe be you're right" Bunny said sadly.
"YOU BACKSTABBING JERKS!"
The whole gang was shocked by the sudden noise. They rose to their feet in a defensive way. Jack Frost. Jack Frost the annoying, childish spirit was right there. Jack had come here when he had been walking around Burgess and not a single dream line was in sight. He got worried and came here to tell the others. That's when Jack Frost. Jack frost saw the others talking about him. The worst part being that he only heard the word burden and not fit for the job before his heart started racing. It blocked out the rest of his hearing to hear anything else.
He stayed in the window for the longest time just staring that them. "SO THAT'S IT! YOU HAVE NOTHING ELSE TO SAY TO ME! HUH! OR IS THAT ALL YOU EVER THINK ABOUT ME!" He yelled at him like a mad dog. He felt tears threaten to leave his eyes. His voice started to be quieter now. "You don't think I'm fit for the job than fine...I'll just be out of your hair for good. " He was just about to jump off when he found one of the Guardians grab his ankle. Of course it had to be Bunny. "Now you listen here you bloody show pony."
" NO YOU" He yelled back as he kicked him in the face to let go of him. "I don't wanna hear none of your shit!" That was the first time he had ever hear Jack curse. Jack was so strung up he didn't know what the say so he was going to do an action. " I hope you love snow and dead flowers in your Warren, Bunny!" Jack called in a voice not to loud but loud enough and flew off to the Warren.
" Yup...totally stress." Tooth said as she agreed to the stress comment. North shook his head and Sandy had his mouth wide open. Bunny laid on the floor, rubbing the spot where Jack had hit him in the face. He then heard Warren and Dead flowers.
He ran off to protect his Warren and maybe show that bloody show pony a lesson or two. He ran off to protect his Warren from Jack Frost. The annoying and childish spirit.
