Chapter 1

Name: October

Age: Same as Jack's age when he died

Nightmares. They are all I ever dream of. Never anything good. The best thing that comes to a dream is when I wake up. And sometimes. I hear a cruel, evil to the soul laugh of a man, but I never saw who that was. I know who he is though. Pitch Black. The boogeyman.

I wake up gasping the life keeping air. That is pretty much how I wake up. That or Screaming, punching who is in front of me, and others. Finally calmed down I move the warm qulit and move my feet. As my feet touch the ground, coldness washes over my body. I shiver and walk toward the window. Shiny blue silver frost covered my window. I smiled knowing that my little brother, Mike, would say that the awesome Jack Frost came to our house today. Since Mike was 6, I would always tell the stories of the 5 guardians, Santa, Tooth Fairy, Sandman, Easter Bunny, and Jack Frost of how they defeated Pitch.

Not caring I was in my pjs I walked down stories and got breakfast ready for Mike and I, since Mom is always at work.

"October! October!" Mike yelled as he ran down the stairs in his pjs too. Mike was an awesome brother and I try to get him to have a great childhood since our father had died when he was 2 and mom wasn't always here. He had brown hair and hopeful green eyes with the biggest smile on his face.

"October, the guardians came in my room last night! Jack made it snow in my room and the Easter bunny is like 6 feet tall! The sandman is made out of golden sand and Santa is Russian!"

"Wow really? Why did they visit you though?" I couldn't help but ask.

"They said they were looking for a girl who lives here and it was you. They said something was going to happen with you and Jack made me promise to pertect you, so you're not going anywhere today, October." He said like he was my father at the end.

"But what about going outside in the snow?" I asked

"Ok we're going outside, but you stay with me at all times. Got it?" He asked.

I laughed, "Got it."

After eating breakfast and got dressed we walked to the front door until Mike stopped me. "Wait here, October while I go see if the coast is clear." He went to the front door and looked around. "Coast is clear" I heard him mumble. He grabbed my hand and got me outside where we saw his friends.

"Hey Mike come on! We're about to do a snowball fight! Boys against girls!" One of them yelled. I watched his face go to happy smile ready for excitement to a frown realizing something.

"What's the matter Mike?" I asked getting to his level.

"Well the snowball fight is hard to keep you next to me at all times and it's boys against girls" he answered.

"Aw Mike don't worry about me. I'll be fine." He shooked his head. Then he said, "Guys come over here." They came and huddled together and whispered somethings I couldn't here. They stopped and all nodded and then looked at me.

A little girl took my hand and smiled and took me to the backyard with other girls. While we were walking I heard, "Stay with them October! They'll be there for ya!"

I chuckled and we started making our snowballs.

Then it started, "3…..2…..1…..GO!" Snowballs went everywhere and I dodged all of them. Go me!

I started walking over to the forest we live next to until mike's best friend, Peter, stopped me by grabbing my hand. "Where are you going, October?"

"For a walk in the forest?" I answered. He shook his head. "Nope." He said.

I smiled devil like and started walking. "No October! Stop!" He yelled trying to stop me by dragging his feet. All the yelling got their attention so now I have all Mike's friends, which is a lot, dragging their feet so it was harder to move. Then one dove for my feet and grabbed it and the others followed. Soon it was hard to walk.

Someone's point of view

I watched as a girl with caramel/golden hair cut short and hazel eyes try walking away into the forest but had a lot of kids at her feet trying to stop her. I know I made her little brother, Mike, to pertect her from Pitch, but this was getting to far. I smirked as I thought of an idea.
