Black Ice
Chapter One- Jack
"You have got to be kidding me!" I yell as I tap my hooked staff to the ground and nothing happens to the melting Earth. "Ahg!" I exclaim, throwing the piece of wood to the dirt in front of me. It's the middle of January, there needs to be snow! Where are my powers? Looking down at my pale white hands I make them fists; relax them and slowly blow a cool breath into my palm, hoping a wisp of snow will fly out.
Nothing. I rub my hands to together, clap a few times, and then blow into my palm again.
Nothing again...
I slump to the ground and sit Indian style, still looking at my hands. My eyes flick over to my staff that lies resting in the wet, brown leaves. I lean forward, rolling onto my knees and grab it. I inspect it for the fifth time and sense my powers as start to fade. There are no cracks or bends (that weren't there before), nothing seems out of place in the dark wood. Just like my hands, nothing is wrong with the instrument.
A thought crosses my mind like a cool breeze, "Go to North, he can help." I glare at a nearby tree because I know the voice is right. "Damnit.." I grumble as I stand up, brushing off my pants. I hope I can even fly. If not, this is going to be a long walk across Canada.
Taking a deep breath through my nose, I bend my knees and I say a quick prayer to the Man in the Moon. I release the force and tension I had built in my legs and I push off of the cold Earth.
Gasping and spreading my arms, trying to grab the wind, I soar upward into the morning sky. "YEAH!" I shout as I blast myself forward with a smile on my face. I don't know why my others powers aren't working, but I know I need to hurry and get to the North Pole while I still can.
The flight to "Santa's workshop" was uneventful, but I am exhausted. Flying has never taken so much out of me before. I land with my feet on a thin sheet of ice and lose my traction, falling onto my back.
"Do my eyes deceive me or did I just witness the Jack Frost slipping on ice?" A huge Russia voice asked.
"Ahg… quiet." I groan as I sit up, out of breath, my chest rising and falling rapidly. North took a half step back from me, with his small blue eyes wide and mouth hanging open. "What?" I snap at him, my cold blue eyes glare up at him.
"Jack…" North sounds like his is talking to a wounded animal, "You slipped on ice, you are out of breath, and…" He paused.
"What!?" I jump up as quickly as I can, still looking into his bright eyes.
"Your face… it's red."
I freeze. What.
"What?" I rush over to a large think piece of ice and look at my reflection. "H-how? I-I haven't shown any color in my face for… for forever! ICE runs through my veins!" My cold heart rate picks up, I'm sure the color on my face is getting more intense. I move back over to the big man clad in red and grab his hand, place it on my face. "Am. I. Cold." I demand with an ice cutting look into his eyes, waiting to catch him in a lie.
"Hardly…" North numbly says as a crease between his dark eye brows forms; "Let's get you inside, we should talk.
"I was supposed to say that!" I smirk and try to let my natural cockiness come through; but the fear that my powers are dying is weighing me down.
Once we are inside, North stares art me. I've always hated the uncomfortable feeling I get when I am under his heavy gaze. "I swear, I just noticed it this morning! I was in southern Michigan making a storm that was going to hit this morning. I was half way through making the best snow cloud I have ever made when my powers just … stopped. I can't do anything: not a flurry, icicle, or even a strong gust of cold wind." I finish as I sit on the edge of the window ceil.
"And you had your powers, you were using them, and then they just stopped? Nothing happened? Did you do anything you normally don't?" North inquired as he crossed his arms, his brow resting heavily over his eyes.
"Um… I froze all of Lake Michigan. Is that odd?" I let an eyebrow lift up.
North chuckled, "Not for you."
"I really don't remember anything weird happening…" I let my sentence fade out. "Wait," I stand up from the window, "There was a dark snow storm that happened; I didn't create it." I pull my eyebrows together and then place my hand on the back of my neck, "Man, how didn't I see that."
"Wait, by dark you mean…" North let the words slip off his lip and let them trail off, not wanting to say it himself.
"PITCH black in the night. All I could feel was the snow falling but I couldn't see it, even with the moon light." Neither of us spoke- we both knew the answer now.
"How could he get the snow to be poisonous to me? Better question, how did he get the power of snow?" I throw my hands in the air. My dark eyebrows knit together as I ponder the thought of someone else having my powers; no way, it's not possible. And Pitch having them? Disgusting.
"We should ask the Man in the Moon tonight. I fear if we don't, you may lose your powers and not be able to stay a guardian."
"What!?" North's words hit like a thousand bricks to my chest. "No! Not when I just found my place! Not when people are finally starting to see me! No, n-" I bury my face in my hands as a tremor takes over my whole body.
"Jack, calm down," the large man placed a large hand on my shoulder, "We will ask him tonight, I'm sure he has a plan." A little smile grew on his face as he spoke and patted my shoulder and walked toward his office.
"How could he poison snow? And what did he poison it with?" I'm talking to myself now; that's great and definitely not like me.
I sit here the rest of the day, looking out the window at the snow that covers the North Pole. I tap my pinky to the window and a small circle of frost forms and melts when my, now somewhat warm, breath touches it. Sighing, I look to the sky and see the moon is reaching its highest point in the sky. I push myself out of the window pane that I made mine and walk to the large globe that is under the window that opens, letting the moon's light in. I hear the voices of the other guardians as my feet move me closer. I pause, slap on a smile, and walk in. "Hey everyone!" I say, trying my best to sound happy; it comes out monotone, so I wave my arm trying to make it look real.
"Oh my gosh Jack! You poor thing, you look horrible! Are you okay? How are your teeth holding up?" Tooth's voice is coated with concern and before I knew it she has her hand in my mouth in seconds. "Good, good, good, GOOD! They are all still immaculate!" she said with a sigh that was echoed by five or six baby teeth.
"I'm fine physically, just this…" I taped my staff, which I forgotten was in my hand, to the floor and a few snowflakes fall from it, they melt before they hit the floor.
"Kirikie.." the large rabbit to my left said as he sniffs where the flakes should have been. "Mate,… that's not good."
My eyes flick over to Sandy, who has a mix of question marks and snowflakes floating over his head. "I'll be fine Sandy." I give him my famous crooked smile.
"Okay," North's voice cut through, "let's begin." The ceiling opened up. The moon is right above where it needs to be. The Globe in the room pulls apart and a glowing ball forms in the middle of it. "Man in the Moon, we have a problem with are newest guardian and we are in need of your guidance." North warmed him up then he pushed me into the pillar of moon light.
"Ah, hi there Mr. Moon Man." Why does this feel so hard and awkward today? I see Bunny hit his paw to his face. I clear my throat and awkwardly look away and then back up. "My powers are failing, I'm sure you've noticed. I think Pitch has something to do with it. Is there anything I can do to get my powers back? I don't want to stop being a guardian." I stare up to the moon. The Globe continues to pull apart and a the glow in the center grows larger.
"Watch close everyone…" North whispers, taking a step closer.
The glowing ball turns white and I realize that it is snow flying around. A castle rises from the snow. The word "Arendelle" flashes across the image. I see a hand, pale like mine, and snow spirals out of it and up into the sky. Ice falls and forms above and hangs in a beautiful crystalized structure. Then it hits me. Someone has a power like mine in some place called "Arendelle". I see the ball start to glow red and it breaks my thoughts. The snow turns red, the hands clench and shake. This person can't control their powers like I control mine. I need their help and they need mine- this is prefect! The glowing ball is starting to fade; I look up and see the moon is moving out of the window.
I freeze, looking up at the night sky, my eyes stay glued to the moon and I hear a smooth voice ring in my ears, "Go to Arendelle. Find the Queen; She will help you find who you are looking for."
I gasp and North catches me as I stumble backwards. "What happened?" He asks me urgently. I look behind him and see the faces of the other guardians, questions floating in eyes.
"The Man in the Moon, I heard his voice…" Their eyes get wider, "He told me to go to 'Arendelle' and look for the queen." I blink and close my mouth, licking my lips that had become very dry. "So, ah, where is Arendelle?"
