Chapter 1
Jack Frost was awfully used to people not being able to see him, accusing him of just being an old 'expression' but when a five year old girl doesn't believe of any of the guardians, which brought happiness to the world, he knew something was up. Jack was blessing the local orphanage of burgess with a white Christmas that they looked forward to every year, allowing all the little boys and girls to make snow men and angels; even the older kids were having fun by having snowball fights (rather brutally, however). Although, one little girl, a pale, fiery little redhead with forest green eyes, sat inside staring down into her lap with no sense of joy at the miraculous weather. At first, Jack was rather annoyed, he thought it was a waste of his skills if such a young kid was just going to mope around inside, but then a woman walked up to said girl and handed her a small, rectangular, red and green parcel.
As Jack was known for being mischievous, he listened in to their conversation. "Santa brought this just for you, Suzie." The woman smiled, her voice soft as she knelt before the little child, now known as Suzie.
"Santa doesn't exist." Jack's eyes widened in shock, she was much too small to possibly know the truth!
"Of course he is."
"No he isn't. None of them are." Suzie mumbled, glaring at the parcel on her lap.
"Who else would give you a Christmas present? Open it up dear." The woman patted her head before heading somewhere else. Suzie gently unwrapped the gift, revealing a Barbie princess. To Jack's surprise, Suzie threw the toy away from herself, as if it offended her, before storming upstairs.
Jack flew around the house, looking through the upstairs windows to find the redhead, before finding the little girl's head buried in a green duvet cover. Her body shook violently as she cried tears. Jack carefully sat on the edge of the windowsill and watched in despair; he hated watching kids cry. His presence left flower-like frost to spread across the glass which separated him from the girl. She shivered at the sudden coldness and snapped her head up to the window, where she could feel a sudden draft. A chill ran down her spine, like she was being watched. Jack was left speechless at the girl's sudden attention. Subconsciously, Jack knew she couldn't see him, but the thought left a warm feeling in his heart that someone was looking straight at him for the first time in his long, lonely life. He stared back at her with content before she stood up and shut the curtains, blocking out one of the happiest moments in Jack Frost's miserable life.
After Jack met little Suzie Angeline Moore, he decided he'd protect her from the pain of the world. He'd visit her every week until she believed. And with those thoughts, he flew off to bring more happiness to the world.
