hey, so this is my first ever story on here! Yeyyyy! So basically I had this idea after I watched Rise of the Guardians the other day and realised people loved the idea of 'Jelsa' and it had been wandering around in my mind ever since! And now I finally decided to write and post it! Please tell me what you think and any tips on writing or the characters are more than welcome! (trust me, might need a bit of help! haha)

Obviously I don't own any of the characters/places you recognise or the movies (I wish!)

So... Enjoyyy!

Chapter 1

Ellie's POV

I could feel the frostbitten grass crunch underneath my feet as I pounded through the Forest of Dean to the rhythm of my music, trying to run away from the normal stresses of teenage life. With mock exams starting at the end of January and the time to apply to uni running out, I just needed to get away you know? I always came here to get away from my problems, it's a great place to get lost and not be found, if you don't want to be found that is. I turned right and slowed to a walk, feeling a breeze that sent a chill down my spine. Untying my hoodie from my waste, I slipped my arms through it providing me with some warmth. Pausing my music I put my phone away and walked towards the clearing that I became so familiar with over the years, I watched the snow lightly begin to fall and just enjoyed the silence - well I tried to. I could hear echoes of children laughing as I got closer, the echoes soon turning into faint voices and sounds of laughter. 'Jack! Come on that's no fair!' I heard the yell of a far too familiar voice call in the distance, along with other comments like 'not cool man!' And 'play fair!' From 3 or 4 other kids. I picked up my pace and jogged the last 100 metres or so to the clearing to confirm my accusations.

'Henry! What do you think you're doing out here?' I called to my ever-so-annoying 12-year-old brother, who was in the middle of throwing a snowball, as I walked out of the trees and into the clearing. He paused mid-throw and turned to me, his smile dropping.

'Looks like Henry's in troubleeee' one of his friends sang and laughed, looking to his left towards a blank space, but stopped when Henry and I gave him the same glare.

'Mum said we could come here!' Henry argued, dropping the snowball and crossed his arms. I laughed once and copied his actions, raising an eyebrow.

'Oh really?' I challenged, 'well you won't care then if I rang her and asked then?' I said, slowly dragging my phone out of a pocket, watching my brother's face which gave away everything.

'No wait Ellie!' He panicked, 'she thinks we're at the park' he muttered, looking at the floor. I sighed and lightened my voice.

'Well why don't you go to the park and I won't mention it to mum?' I suggested, trying to reason with him, trying not to be the evil big sister all his friends thought I was. The other 4 kids eyes now shifted to the floor and Henry shuffled kicked some snow gently.

'We can't.' I rose a brow at him 'We can't play with Jack there' now that caught my attention. I looked around at the other children, as far as I knew none of them was called Jack.

'Who?'

'Jack Frost!' One of Henry's friends, Gabby her name was I think, blurted out excitedly before Henry could answer. I bit my lip to stop myself from smirking.

'You're joking right?' I looked around at them, focusing on my brother,

'You know he's not real... Right?'

'He is to!' Henry suddenly bursts out, sounding annoyed, 'he's standing right there!' He almost shouted, the way he does when things aren't going his way, and pointed to an empty part of the clearing. I furrowed my brows at the space and back to my brother.

'There's nothing there Henry, just a blank spot of snow.' I said, trying to stay calm not wanting one of our famous sibling fights to kick off.

'No he's there! You've just gotta belie-'

'There's nothing to believe Henry!' I yelled cutting him off, my patience running low, 'stop with all this 'you gotta believe' crap! People like 'Jack Frost don't exist! It's just your imagination.' I said, half speaking to all the children now, half just to my brother. 'Now all of you just head to the park and we won't mention this to any adults ok?' I sighed, not wanting to talk about it anymore. The breeze was picking up to a wind now so I was getting cold in just my running tights, top and hoodie.

'He is real Ellie! You just got to believe and have fun!' Henry yelled as a last argument. I ran my fingers through my hair and ran them down my messy attempt at a side plait.

'Even if he was, I doubt he'd spend his time having a snow fight with a bunch of 12 year olds'. I muttered. 'Come on Henry, let's just go' I said, not looking at him knowing that he would have his broken 'you never believe anything I say' look on his face. I turned round to leave and took a step forward, just before getting hit in the eye with a snowball, knocking me out cold.

Jack's POV

'Who?' The older sis asked with a blank look on her face. 'Oh come on!' I groaned out loud to myself and towards the brown haired, brown-eyed teen.

'Jack Frost!' Gabby cried out happily, looking at me with a grin on her face.

'She won't see me sweetheart' I told her, smiling back at the young girl. I looked back to the sis, who must be around 17/18 years old, watching her bite her lip, to stop herself from laughing probably.

'You're joking right?' She said, looking at every child, but gazing through me as if didn't exist - well to her I don't. I thought, feeling the ever so familiar pang of disappointment in my stomach I get whenever somebody doesn't believe. 'You know he's not real... Right?'

'There it is' I said, swinging my stick over my shoulders, holding it behind my neck with both hands.

'He is to!' Henry shouted looking annoyed at his sister.

'Woah calm down there buddy, I'm used to it' I said to him, 'aaand you probably didn't hear that' I said out loud, watching as the siblings focused on each other. You could see they were related only just, same face shape, exactly the same look in their eyes but other than that not much gave their relativeness away; Henry had almost black hair with a deep blue colour for his eyes while his sister had light brown eyes with an almost matching hair colour.

'He's right there!' Henry yelled out and pointing to me, making me jump out of my examining thoughts. I looked towards the girl, watching her with a blank expression as she glanced at the spot where I was standing. I lowered my stick, so I could lean on it, waiting for a sign of recognition or complete confusion. I held my breath, secretly hoping she would see me but no, the look of complete confusion it is. 'See' I said, running a hand through my white hair.

'There's nothing there Henry, just a blank spot of snow.'

'No he's there! You've just gotta belie-'

'There's nothing to believe Henry!' Ellie quickly yelled, cutting her brother off. 'Stop with all this 'you gotta believe' crap!'

'Woah there girl, language' I scolded her light-heartedly, starting to walk around the edge of the clearing, tired of standing in one spot and watching the situation unfold. I absentmindedly made a snowball in my hand.

'People like Jack Frost don't exist!' She continued 'it's all in your imagination!'

'Now hold up, I do to exist!' I pointed at her, feeling defensive, 'just because you can't see me doesn't mean I'm not real.' I let the breeze turn into a light wind.

'Now all of you just head to the park and we won't mention his to any adults ok?'

'Oh so who made you the boss of these kids huh?' I questioned, stopping behind her, blocking the way she entered, and chucking the ball of snow lightly in my hand trying not to get angry.

'He is real Ellie! You just gotta believe and have fun!' Henry shouted as a last line of defence.

I smiled at him 'that's my boy' I said, getting a slight smile out of him before he frowned again at his sister.

'Even if he was, I doubt he'd spend his time having a snow fight with a bunch of 12 year olds'. She muttered.

'Hey, FYI kids are a lot more fun to have fun with thank you, and it's not just because most adults can't see me' I pointed accusingly at her, well at her back anyway.

'Come on Henry, let's just go' she said, sighing. I smirked at her.

'Actually, why don't you stay' I said before chucking the snowball hard at her, expecting it to just land on her face and give her more of a sense of fun, instead it knocked her out cold when it hit her left eye. 'Uh-oh, whoops' I said as gasps left the kids mouths while Henry rushed to his sister that had now called to the floor unconscious.

'Jack! What did you do?' Henry rushed out, panicked, I jumped with the wind to where Henry and his sister were and lay down the other side of the unconscious girl, resting my stick on the floor.

'Sorry! I guess I gave it a little too much power' I said, going to move her head so it wasn't half in the snow, but my hands went straight through her, 'urgh I can't touch her, Henry take off your coat and lay it under he head so it doesn't freeze from the snow.' I said and Henry followed quickly. 'Good now uhh... When she wakes up just tell her she slipped on some ice' I said standing up and picking up my stick, looking up at the evening sky at the moon.

'What? Why? Where're you going?' Henry said almost at once.

'Got some guardian business to attend to it seems' I said, listening to the moon. 'She'll be fine Henry, I promise!' I said before jumping and going with the wind towards North's Pole.

'Jack! Jack, come back! What if she asks about the snow ball!' I heard Henry yell in the distance.

'Just tell her Tim threw it!' I yelled back, half expecting it to be lost through the distance.

Ellie's POV

I squeezed my eyes shut tighter for an instant as I felt a breeze pass over my head, showing I was coming to. Groaning I slowly lifted my head and opened my eyes slightly waiting to adjust to the light.

'Ellie! You're OK!' Henry said, sighing with relief with a massive smile on his face.

'Umm… yeah, what happened?' I asked sitting up straight.

'Oh, well you slipped on a bit of ice and hit your head I guess' Henry shrugged.

'But I swear I got hit in the eye with a snowball?' I asked, trying to remember who threw it.

'Well you didn't OK? Let's just go home' Henry rushed out, helping me up.

'Yeah OK, how long was I out for?' I asked 'And where are the others?' I looked around, only now realising we were the only ones in the clearing.

'For about 10 minutes, and they all went home' he said, dusting the snow off his jacket and putting it on.

'Well then, I guess we should too' I smiled, stuffing my hands in my pockets, nudging him I said 'come on buddy, let's go home.'

'Aren't you going to ask me about Jack Frost?' he raised an eyebrow. I laughed once and shook my head.

'Nah, let's just get you home and out of the cold.' I said as we walked out of the clearing and into the forest, subconsciously rubbing my left eye.
