~You must go watch over him my child.~ the Voice whispered.
~Where am I going?~ Was the response.
~Worry not child, all will be clear soon~
I was sent to a place far from home...but not so far that I
couldn't see it. I would sit in a tree gazing at the moon for
hours...when finally I heard the cracking of ice. It was time.
I looked down to the young boy rising from it.
"Jack Frost." I whispered as I watched him slowly gather his
surroundings. He would gaze at the moon before slowly lowering
to the ice. I watched him look at himself...then listen to my father
whisper his name.
It took all i had not to giggle as he slipped. That's when he found his
staff. He marveled at the power over ice it held...thus sending
him into an excited run testing his newfound power. I would smile at
this. then i sent him flying into the air with my wind...before
losing my concentration and he fell into a tree. I then guided him
to town where he tried to greet people. It broke my heart when he
discovered he couldnt be seen.
300 years later...
I watched as Jack wanted to tease people with ice. He laughed
while people slipped on and fell on the ice. I had to admit myself
it was amusing. I followed him all around teasing birds and whatnot
"Hey wind!" He called. I made the wind pick up in response. "Take
me home!" he said and i smiled...forcing the wind to pick up to
carry him. "WHOOHOO!" He called and laughed. I shook my head and followed him
He headed for the ground. "SNOW DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!" I chased after
the excited male as he jumped from car to car making more ice and snow
I flew by a boy and the wind made the book fly from his hands.
I hid as Jack landed beside the boy. "Hey that looks interesting...Good book?"
he asked the boy knowing he couldn't be heard.
Children ran by. "Snow day whoo!" I smiled as I heard them.
"You're welcome!" Jack said to them.
"Why do you speak...you know they cant hear you." I whispered.
You see...Jack doesn't know who I am...
I landed in the tree behind Jack.
"The easter bunny is real." Jamie said.
"oh he's real all right. Real annoying, real grumpy, and really full of himself."
he chuckled.
I surpressed a giggle.
"Jamie. Hat. You dont want Jack Frost nipping at your nose." Jamie's
mother spoke.
"Who's Jack Frost?" Jamie asked.
"No one sweetie. Its just an expression."
"Hey!" Jack said...jumping down. He scooped up some snow. "Who's Jack Frost?"
He breathed into the snowball before throwing it at Jamie.
It hit Jamie in the back of the head...Jack's magic working
instantly. he smiles. "Alright. Who threw that?" he laughs and soon
it started a snowball free-for-all. I smile as I watch Jack play
with the children.
I got up and flew after Jack as he took Jamie for a joysledride.
I laughed as Jamie screamed in delight. Finally Jamie flew into
the air and landed in a batch of soft snow...before the
couch hit him...knocking out a tooth. Sadly that got them thinking
of the tooth fairy and soured Jack's spirit.
"Oh, wait a minute. Come on. Hold on, hold on! What about the fun we just had?
That wasn't the Tooth Fairy, that was me!" He landed in front
of him. "What's a guy got to do to get a little attention around here?"
He asked before the kids walked through him...reminding him why.
He sighed and flew off...I then followed him.
I watched Jack as he watched Jamie and his family with a smile.
"Oh Jack...why do you torture yourself?" I asked...even though he couldn't hear me.
He went to the roof. "if there is something im doing wrong...
can you just tell me what it is?" he asked the moon. "Because
I've tried everything and no one ever sees me." As he spoke I
felt tears prick my eyes... I watched the moon as well. "You put me here.
the LEAST you can do is tell me...tell mewhy?" he asked. We gaze at the moon...with
no answer. he sighed and left...i followed him.
he lands on the telephone wires and freezes them over. I smile as
the Sandman's sand swirls around us. "Right on time Sandman."
Jack said and ran his hand through one making a dolphin dance.
I smiled and touched one. A butterfly flew around me gracefully.
