Chapter 1
It has been six years since Pitch came up and terrorized the children of the world. It has been six years since the Guardians were once helpless. Six years since Jack finally became a Guardian and protect the Children of the world. Six years when Jack got his first child believer, and it has been six years when Jack and I shared our first kiss.
Six years, and nothing bad has happen, no threats from the nightmare king, no nightmares at nights; nothing.
I started to walk around North's workshop, everyone bustling, yelling, running around, working; the usual routine. But their rustling and bustling increased because it was the Christmas season. So I couldnt bother the jolly man which led me to walk around the Workshop.
I sighed and look around finding what to do.
"UHHHGGGGGWAAAAA!"
I turned around and I found Phil the Yeti looking at a white hair teenager. My eyes lit up seeing the white haired teenager. He looked at me and gave me a smile. I ran up to him and I jump up as he caught me. He gave me his mischievous grin and I gave him a loving smile.
"Hey Elliana, how have you been?" he asked me as I grinned.
"I've been great, Jack! I would have been better if you were here more often." I pouted as he nipped me on the nose.
"I'm sorry, Elliana. I've been busy; being the Guardian of Fun and all." Jack smiled into my nose.
I blushed at his actions and looked at him. "Do you always have to nip my nose when we see eachother?"
He gave me a smug look and smiled, "Well considering it IS the Christmas season, and my special trademark; especially for you, so yes."
I pouted and I looked at the globe and my eyes popped up. I looked at Jack sheepishly and he gave me a confused look.
"What is it?" he asked. I scratch behind my head and gave him a smile.
"Well I just remembered, I need to go check the kids in Burgess."
Jack gave me a pouted. "But, I just got here and now you have to leave?"
"I'm sorry Jack, but I rather not have you suffer because no one believes you." I sighed as I got out of his grasp. I turned around and was about to leave until Jack grabbed my hand and turned me back at him. I faced him and he gave me a smirk. He tighten is hold on me through my waist and hand.
"You're not going to leave me without a goodbye kiss?" Jack smirked. He leaned in and gave me a peck on the lips teasing me; obviously.
"Jack, stop teasing me." I pouted as he laughed at how childish I was acting.
"That is all I'm going to give you, until you get back. So I perfer if you get back soon." he smirked as he let go of me.
I blushed and only nodded as I turn around from the smirking Jack. With that I left to go to Burgess.
As I got to the town Burgess everything was covered in a blanket of snow; courtesy of Jack, smiling, I watched the children enjoying both the snow and their holiday vacation.
I then saw Jamie and his gang and I hid behind a tree.
Jamie and his gang as really grown up. They all looked more sophiscated then they were six years ago; especially Jamie. Jamie didnt have his childish face anymore, he has a well structure face. His hair was a little bit longer then it usually was, and his eyes does not have that playful glint but more mature. I watch as they started all to talk to eachother.
"Hey Jamie, are you doing something over winter break?" Caleb asked as he put his arm on Jamie's shoulder. Jamie ponder for about a minute and then looked back at them.
"No I'm not doing anything... Why?" he asked as Claude went up to them.
"Great! Because me and Caleb were thinking we should have a Christmas Party!" Claude exclaimed as Caleb pulled Jamie aside.
"I mean, if we have a Chirstmas Party, Pippa has to go, and there will be a misletoe." Caleb smirked as Jamie's face turned a scarlet red.
"You do know what happens under a misletoe?" Claude smirked as Jamie stayed silent.
I chuckled at his reaction and my eyes widen.I had a huge realization; this will be the first year that me and Jack will be spending Christmas together. Each year either Jack or I would be gone when Christmas came around.
Six years ago, Jack couldnt even make Christmas, he was doing his Guardian duties, the year after that I was at Europe helping the kids believe in the Guardians. The year after that, he was down at Canada making a blanket of snow everywhere. Then the year after that I was gone in America checking up on all the kids. Two years ago we were both gone doing our duties and last year I was spending time with Father Time.
Now this year, nothing is going on for both of us and we'll be with North at the time. My mind was wondering off too much that I didnt realize I was procrastinating on my duties. I finally notice that Jamie and his gang was somewhere else and I started to panic. I grabbed my pocket watch and pushed the sapphire blue buttion, retracting my clock staff.
I conjured up my red time rays and the world stop. I looked at my clock staff and it made a map to where the lowest creativity energy was and then I head out to cure the lack of creativity in Burgess.
I found Jamie and his gang again, my eyes rolled, knowing where the low creative energy was coming from. I went toward Jamie and I smiled remembering when he was ten years old. How he believed in the Guardians. He believe so hard in them for only two more years, but after that it slowly faded away.
I looked at him in sorrow, looking into his eyes; no passion, no imagination, no creativity, no belief in the Guardians, nothing just other peoples opinion, school, and videogames, or makeup in the girls side. I grabbed my clock staff and I tapped his head. I tap all his friends aswell and finally time ran out.
They walk right through me; like they always do and their eyes lit up.
"Hey guys, since the Christmas season is coming up, I have a question." asked Jamie as his friends looked at him strangely.
"Shoot it!" Caleb exclaimed as Jamie took a deep breathe.
"Well, this is kind of childish but what was your favorite gift from Santa Claus?" he asked as his eyes shifted to a different location then his friends eyes.
Normally his friends would laugh at him for even saying a thing like that but today was different. All his friends looked at him and started to ponder about all the memories with the Christmas season, especially about the present from the jolly fat man.
"Actually, I do remember this one gift that was extraordinary!" Pippa piped in as everyone looked at her; especially Jamie. Her now mature face flushed as she looked toward the ground and fiddle with her fingers.
"I-I remember, that Santa gave me the best present I have ever recieved like eight years ago. If I do recall it was my first bike. It was the best thing in the world!" she stuttered and gave a small smile as everyone looked at her.
"I remember Santa gave us a basketball hoop!" shouted Caleb
"And a nice new basketball to go with it!" exclaimed Claude.
"Well Santa gave me my first telescope!" smiled Monty as he pushed his glasses up his nose.
"Santa gave me this huge stuff unicorn..." Cupcake blushed as she scratched the back of her head.
Everyone turn to Jamie expecting an answer. He ponder for about a minute and smiled real big.
"I dont know, I remember he gave me a really nice sled." Jamie smiled as his eyes widen aswell.
"Actually I remember the morning of Christmas I got the sled, snow started to fall. And I got to play in the snow for such a long time!" He exclaimed as I smiled of his nostalgia..
"Ha, yeah I remember Jack Frost came to visit us, bringing us the snow and everything!" Pippa smiled as Jamie vaguely remembered Jack Frost.
"Jack Frost? He is that one guy that gives us the snow right? The white hair and blue eyes and everything?" Jamie ask as everyone nodded.
I smiled seeing their creativity sparking up. They all started to talk about the Guardians and with that I left to help the children remember the Guardians.
Four hours passed by and the evening turn to darkness. Of course me being afraid of the dark I quickly went back to the North pole. I flew as fast as I can and I saw the bright lights of the North Pole.
I open the window and let myself in North's office. I heard a jolly man laughing and I started to smile.
"Elliana, you're finally back!" grinned North as he gave me a big bear hug.
I return the affection as well and I looked at up at him. "Yeah there wasnt a lot of kids to help with their imagination since Christmas was coming up!"
"Really, that's good, you're a great help, thank you." North smiled as he let go of me.
I return the smile and sigh of how tired I was. "You're very welcome North, always love to help!"
I over heard some footsteps coming toward the office. The door banged open and I turned around finding those electric blue eyes and smirking face again. I rolled my eyes as his figure leaned against the door panel and a huge smirk tugging against his face.
I folded my arms under my breast and cocked my hip; giving him a "yes, my i help you" look.
"Finally done, Elliana?" he asked.
My facial expression changed and I nodded my head. I ran up to him and gave him a hug.
"Thanks for helping kids believe in me." he whispered as I looked up at him with a mischievous glint in my eye.
"No problem Jack, but do I get a prize for my services?" I asked as he gave me that loving smile.
"Do you have to ask?" he leaned down to my height and gave me a passionate kiss.
My eyes flutter closed and enjoyed every minute of the kiss. His cold lips molded perfectly against my lips as he tighten the grip around my waist. My hands automaticly slid up his shoulders, around his neck and tighten up my grasp. I felt him smirk against the kiss and pushed more force against my lips. I felt his hands starting to rub against my hips. Before it got even more intense we heard a low cough and we looked at North. My face blushed and Jack gave a sheepish smile toward the jolly man.
"I understand you guys are very passionate about eachother, but I rather not have you guys be that passionate in my office. If you are going to be passionate take it somewhere else please." North sighed as my face grew warmer and Jack nodded his head.
He grabbed a hold of my hand and I looked at him, he gave me another mischievous smile and he led me out of North'ls office. I looked back at North and gave him a sheepish grin.
"Sorry North, that wont happen again!"
He gave a hearty laugh and we ran out of the office. I looked at Jack as we dodge every Yeti that came our way. I stumbled against some elves but regain my posture.
"J-Jack! Where are we going!" I stuttered as he looked back at me with a mischievous grin.
"That is for me to know and you to find out soon!" he smiled as he led me outside the Toy Factory.
"What are we doing here?" I asked. My eyes caught a small icy ball in his hand and I look up at his face. His smile turn to a smirk and I knew what was coming. I saw him move and I dodge his attack. I grabbed a whole bunch of snow and formed it up into a ball. I threw it at him but completely miss his head. I groaned at my aim and he smirked. We contiued our snowball fight for about ten minutes and we stop to catch our breath.
He tackled me down as I looked up at his gorgeous electric blue eyes. He gave me a smile and again lean in. I felt his cold breathe against my lips.
"Now, we're finally alone." he whispered as he gave me small kiss on my forehead.
"J-Jack." I stuttered as he a low audible "hmmm?" came out of his lips.
I smiled at him and i gave a shiver, "It's cold, I think we should head inside."
He gave me another smile and nodded. He lean in for another kiss but I dodged it completely; boy was he surprised. He looked at me and I gave him a playful grin.
"You cant catch me, Jack!" and with that I ran the opposite direction from him and into the Toy Factory.
"Hey! That is not fair, Elliana!" he hollered as he ran toward me. I ran faster, making sure he didnt catch me. I gave a fair amount of distance from him and I started to laugh.
"You shouldn't be enjoying life." an erie voice whispered. I stop in my tracks and looked around for that voice.
My head shifted right to left and I saw nothing, no one in sight; besides Jack of course. My knees were about to give away.
"Caught you!" Jack grinned as he grabbed a hold of my waist and thus negate my fall.
I turn back toward Jack and gave him a smile. "Ha, you caught me!", Jack gave me a concerned look and his grip tighten around me.
"What's wrong?" he asked me.
"Nothing..." I smiled trying to get the erie feeling off of me. He gave me a skeptic look and he grabbed a hold of my hands.
"You can tell me anything Elliana, you know that, right?"
I looked at him and gave him a soft smile, "Yes, I do know that, silly."
He smiled again and he grabbed my hand, we then head back toward the Toy Factory, still with that erie feeling in my chest.
