Hey its Adriana Frost! This is my first fanfic so please review, ask questions, suggest ideas, and criticize if you must, no mean comments please! :-D ENJOY! I don't own Rise of the Guardians or Be Strong by Delta Goodrem, just Rowan. P.S. I'll try to update this and hopefully I'll have chapter 2 up by Friday or Saturday.
Jacks POV
It was just another day. I had finished bringing winter to Burgess then decided to join the snowball fight with the neighborhood kids and Jamie. After a couple of hours, the kids had to leave because it was getting late. I was pretty tired so I decided to head to the pond for a little rest. When I got there I settled on a tree branch near the pond not too high off the ground and settled down with my staff in my lap. I looked up and saw the Sandman's dream sand floating through the sky.
"Right on time, Sandy." I thought with a smirk.
I was just falling asleep when I heard a loud cry. I jerked up so suddenly and almost lost my balance. I looked around frantically, and then I saw her. Sitting down near my pond, was a teenager crying as she hugged her knees close. Her white hat was covering her dark curly brown hair that fell gently on her shoulders and her worn out jeans were powdered with snow just like her red cardigan. She seemed like she was my age (or at least the age I was when I died). I couldn't take the sobs any longer so I started to get up so I could go comfort her, but accidentally bumped into the branch above me. The bump caused the snow on the branch to plummet down to the ground not too far from the girl.
She jerked her head up and had a scared look in her beautiful cerulean blue eyes as she glanced around.(Did I think that out loud?!)
"Great job, Jack! Why don't you just pummel her with frost and snowballs while you're at it?! That will calm her down!" I thought as I face palmed myself angrily.
I looked down and saw that despite the sudden snowfall she stayed where she was. She had stopped sobbing, but tears continued to run down from her red teary eyes. I floated down silently and lied down on a branch about seven feet above her head and watched her. She seemed to be talking to herself but I could barely hear her.
"Stop crying and pull yourself together, Rowan!" She sniffled. "It's OK. Everything is going to be fine. Just stop thinking of the people at school. They don't matter; they're just a bunch of bullies." She suddenly started to cry again but not as hard as before. I felt so bad for her.
"A-are you swimming upstream, i-in oceans of blue?
Do you feel like you're sinking?
Are you sick of the rain, after all you've b-been through?
Well I know what you're thinking."
I looked down and realized that she had started singing.
"Why are you singing ? I thought you were sad? Oh! She's trying to comfort herself. Wow! Smart thinking, Jack!" I thought jokingly.
"When you can't take it, you can make it.
Sometime soon I know that you'll see.
Cause when you're in your darkest hour,
And all of the light just fades away.
When you're like a single flower,
Whose colors have turned to shades of gray.
Hang on and be strong."
She stopped there and seemed to look happy for a little. I realized that I was no longer on the branch but was floating 2 feet above her head.
"That was beautiful!" I thought out loud dreamily.
The girl sat up immediately after I said "beautiful" and turned around almost spotting me above her head.
"Who's there?" she asked loudly and I quickly flew up the tree to hide from her view.
"Wait a second! Did she…HEAR ME?! Does she…BELIEVE IN ME?!" I thought excitedly.
Rowan then got up, looked at her watch, and trudged home. I looked at her and was about to fly over to actually meet her but I stopped myself.
"She seems to have been through a lot today. If I try to introduce myself she might freak out." I sat down on a tree branch and thought about what it would be like when I actually got to meet Rowan. I smiled at the thought and fell asleep thinking of my new believer.
