Chapter one: The Autumn Spirit and the Winter Spirit Guardians?
I couldn't remember my past clearly. All I remember was the Autumn breeze running around my body, I woke up to see the moon shining bright over me, I stood up to find that I had a fox tail, I looked over at a broken piece of steel to see my reflection. My hair was auburn and fox ears on top of my head they perked up at me seeing the color of my eyes was blue.
"Who am I?" I asked out loud.
I felt the wind swirl around me as it whispered: Hailey Autumn-heart. So that's my name huh? Well i guess thats all i have to go by for now. I lept off into the trees and spotted a boy with silver/white hair looking just as confused as i did moments ago. I stepped onto the ground but when i stepped down a twig snapped.
"Whos there?" the boy asked pointing a stick in my direction.
"M-me." I said as i stepped out to show my face under the light of the moon.
"You, can see me?" He asked.
"Yeah, Of course I can see you." I said. "Is that a problem?"
"No, it isn't it's kinda nice to know someone can see me." He replied. putting his stick up right. "I'm Jack Frost, Who are you?"
"Hailey Autumn-heart..." I said as i stepped forward.
"No wonder you can see me." he said. "You... you're like me... a spirit."
"A spirit?" I asked looking at the moon. "So thats what I am..."
300 years later...
After three hundred years mine and Jacks clothing changed slightly. Jack and I wore the same pants, but he wore a blue hoodie while I wore a long sleeved shirt that came a little past my mid thigh. On my head in between my ears I wore a tiara made of bronze leaves to symbolize me being the spirit of autumn.
I was leaping around the telephone poles and building as Jack was freezing things. I helped Jack by provide the power of our winds combined together. like Jack I could ride on the wind. I giggled as Jack came to stand next to me on a steeple with a long pole.
"That was fun!" Jack exclaimed laughing as he looked at me. "You gonna tag along with me back home?"
"Nah." I said. "I have to help Bunnymund with getting the eggs ready-"
"Oh come on, he always asks for your help." Jack said with disappointment.
"Jack, Bunnymund is really under a lot stress easter is only a few days away." I said with my hands on my hips. "One of these days he is going to ask you-"
"The easter kangaroo would never ask me for help, he's all work and I'm all snowballs and fun." He told me.
"Whatever you say, Frosty." I said with a giggle as i flew off waving to him.
As I flew I thought of what our lives would be like if kids could see us. I sighed. Jack would be the one to be noticed before me. I mean he has a song with him in it I mean come on! dude should be happy with what he has... I mean I have never been mentioned at all to the humans. Before I could think any further I saw a flash of black appear in front of me. I stopped and floated there.
"Well, what do we have here." a dark voice said.
"Pitch..." I said as he form appeared in front of me.
"We have a winner." Pitch told me as he floated around me. "What would the kind little autumn spirit be doing on her way to Warren, hm?"
"It's none of your business what I do." I snapped.
"Oh, My dear you're talking to someone who has more power than you do." Pitch said as he got closer to me.
"So what." I said. "The sandman can over power you any day."
"You my dear a pushing it." Pitch said irritated. "I wouldn't push it if I were you, after all I could go after your little friend Jack."
"You wouldn't dare." I growled.
"Oh, I dare." Pitch said cupping my face with his right hand. "And do you know why I dare?"
"No why do you dare?" I asked glaring at him.
"Because, you would do anything to protect the one you love." Pitch said as black sand trailed up his arm from his sleeve. "And you shall become mine..."
I hissed in pain as the sand touched my skin. I shut my eyes to await more pain when a flash of yellowish/gold made me open my eyes. It was the Sandman. I looked up in glee as I tried to fly over to him Pitch grabbed me by my arm and everything went black. The last thing I saw was the sandmans worried face.
with Jack...
Jack was floating around watching the yellowish/gold sand from the Sandman made it's way into the homes of children.
"Hailey's really missing out on this." he thought with a smile as the images of her flying around with the sandman's sand. "but she had to help the kangaroo."
Jack was snapped out of his thoughts by a figure rushing past him. Jack followed it and came to a street with a street lamp shining over it. Jack looked around with caution.
"Ello, Mate." Bunny's voice rang out causing Jack to look over at the Easter bunny. "Been a long time, the Blizzard of 68' I believe, Easter Sunday Wasn't it?"
"Hey, Bunny, you're not still mad about that are ya." Jack asked him.
"Yes... but this is about something else." Bunny said look at his boomerang. "Fellas."
in an instant jack was grabbed by his hood by one of North's Yetis.
"Hey, put me down what the-!" Jack shouted as he was shoved into a sack.
one of the two of the yetis pulled out a Snow globe and spoke in it's language then threw the snow globe on the ground creating a portal. one of the Yetis turned to face Bunny asking him if he was going through the portal. Bunny laughed.
"Me, not on ya nelly, see ya back at the pole." Bunny said as he tapped his foot on the ground created a tunnel for him to go though and jumped into it and as is closed it left a pink flower.
The Yeti's threw jack into the portal and jumped in after him. moments later Jack found himself getting tossed onto hard ground.
"He's here." a Russian Accent said in an almost hushed tone.
Jack started to climb out of the sack to be greeted by North, the Tooth fairy and the sandman.
"hey there he is!" North said with enthusiasm. "Jack Frost!"
"Wow, You gotta be kidding me..." Jack said as he was being lifted up by the Yetis. "Hey, whoa put me down."
once the Yetis set him down he looked at the guardians.
"I trust the Yeti's treated you well?" North asked.
"Oh yeah, I love being tossed into a sack and thrown threw a magic portal." jack said sarcastically.
"Oh Good, that was my idea." North said proudly as he gestured to bunnymund. "You know Bunny."
"Obviously..." Jack said.
"Tooth Fairy." North sad as the bright fairy woman flew over to Jack.
"Hello Jack i've heard so much about you!" Tooth said. "And your teeth!"
"My wha?"Jack asked.
"Open up, are they really at white as they say?" Tooth fairy said as she expected his mouth. "Oh they really do sparkle like freshly fallen snow!"
Tooth's fairies flew down near his face and begged to see his teeth.
"Girls pull yourselves together let us not disgrace the uniform." Tooth said as he flew off to another part of the room.
"The Sandman, Sandy." North said gesturing to the sleeping Sandman. "Sandy... Wake up!"
North's shout woke up the Sandman, Who now stood on the ground with a kind smile.
"Ok, can someone please tell me what's going on here?" Jack asked.
Sandy smiled and began to show Jack symbols over his head that came from his hair but Jack couldn't understand.
"Yeah, I don't understand." Jack said causing Sandy to stop showing the symbols.
Jack walked away slightly as he kept talking.
"I must have done done something pretty bad to get you four together." Jack turned to face them. "Am I on the naughty list?"
"Ha, on the naughty list." North said. "You hold the record, but no matter, right now we are wiping the slate clean."
"How come?" Jack asked.
"Good question." Bunny snickered.
"How come, How come!" North said practically shouting. " I will tell you how come, because, YOU ARE GUARDIAN!"
Once North had raised his arms the yeti's held up torches. Two of the Elves held up horns and began to play them while other Elves marched around him while they marched around him two of Tooth's fairy's came over with a Necklace of red, white and blue. Jack backed away only to be slightly shoved back forward.
"This is the best part!" North shouted as he began to march with the elves.
two elves preced Jack with elf shoes his size in blue and silver. Jack became aggravated and slammed his staff on the ground. Causing a cold wind to blow around. everybody was quiet.
"What makes you think i want to be a Guardian?" Jack asked irritated.
North began to laugh.
"Of course you do, MUSIC!" North shouted as the elves began to play.
"NO Music!" Jack snapped.
One of the elves got irritated and slammed his horn on the ground before walking away.
"This is flattering but you don't want me, you're all hard work and deadlines and I'm snowballs and fun times." Jack said as he sat on a countertop. "I'm not a Guardian, I mean... Hailey now she would be a Guardian."
"That's Exactly what I said!" Bunny laughed.
"Jack I don't think you understand what we do." Tooth said motioning to a globe and flying over to it. "Each of those lights is a child.
"A child, who believes." North said. "And good or bad naughty or nice we protect them."
North looked over at Tooth and Jack after hearing Jack's muffled noises.
"Tooth fingers out of mouth." North said.
"Oh Sorry they're beautiful!" Tooth said fly to where bunny was.
"Ok, no more wishy-washy, Pitch is out there doing who-knows-what!?" north said.
"Pitch...You, you mean, the Boogie man." Jack asked with a laugh.
"Yes! And when he threatens us, he threatens them as well," he gestured to the globe.
"All the more reason to pick someone more qualified," Jack argued.
"Pick!? You think we picked!?" North let out a chuckle, "no, you two were chosen, like we were all chosen," he held his arm out, pointing it towards the faint moon that was seen from an opening in the roof, "by Man in Moon."
"What?" Jack asked.
"Last night Jack, he chose you." Tooth said as she paused. "Hailey too..."
"Maybe..." Bunnymund said with his arms crossed. "Hailey i know for certain..."
"Man in the Moon, he talked to you?" Jack asked in shock from the info he had just got.
"You see, you cannot say 'no.' It is destiny," North said.
"But then, why wouldn't he tell us that himself?" Jack asked with a sighed and ran his fingers through his hair.
Jack turned to face the Guardians.
"After three hundred years this is his answer!? To spend eternity like you guys!?" he said to the four guardians, "cooped up in some hideout thinking of new ways to bribe kids."
Jack turned on his heel to face the moon with an irritated look
"well that's not for me! No offense." Jack said looking at the guardians.
"How-how-how is that non-offensive?" Bunnymund suddenly asked, "you know what I think?" he asked the other guardians, "I think we just dodged a bullet. I mean what's this clown know about bringing joy to children anyway?"
Bunnymund crouched down to the ground to scratch an itchy part of his face with his foot.
"Ever heard of a snow day?" Jack asked with a smirk. "I know it's no hard boiled egg, but kids like what I do."
"But none of them believe in you, do they? You see, you're invisible mate, it's like you don't even exist," Bunnymund said.
"Bunny! Enough!" Tooth said trying to break up the fight.
"No, the kangaroo's right." Jack said
"The-the what!? What did you just call me? I'm not a kangaroo mate." Bunnymund said getting in Jack's face, with a glare on on his own.
"Oh, and this whole time I thought you were. If you're not a kangaroo," jack leaned his face forward to look Bunny in the eyes with an intense look of his own, "What are you?" Bunnymund did the same, both guys were now seriously face-to-face.
"I'm a bunny, the Easter Bunny. People believe in me." Bunnymund said as They had a glare off.
Sandy took this opportunity to nudge North to get his attention. once North looked at Sandy he saw sandy point to jack while looking into his eyes. North understood what Sandy wanted and looked at jack.
"Jack, lets take a walk." North said.
North lead Jack to an elevator and they both got in.
"Wait if Hailey was chosen as a guardian why isn't she here too?" Jack asked confused.
"I will tell you when we reach my office." North said.
The elevator and took them up a few floors. All around them, there were yetis working on toys, using ice sculptures made by North as a model as they built the toys.
"oh well, and Nothing personal but," Jack said as they got off the elevator, "what you all do it's just not my thing."
"Man in Moon says it is your thing," North said, signing something on a clipboard that a yeti held out. He walked briskly through the workplace, Jack tried to keep up, all while trying to absorb the sight of everything around him.
"Slow down would ya!? I've been trying to bust in here for years! I wanna good look." Jack said, looking up and around.
"What do you mean 'bust in'?" North asked.
"Oh don't worry, never got past the yetis." Jack said. "I always thought the elves made the toys."
"We just let them believe that," he whispered to him as they passed some elves messing around with some Christmas lights.
"Very nice, keep up good work," North encouraged with a thumbs up as they continued to walk. They continued until they ended up what looked like to be North's office. There was a fireplace, some toys hung from the ceiling, on the desk was blocks of ice, some were molded into models of toys, other were either yet to be used, or half finished. North looked at him and then grabbed something from a shelf.
"Fruitcake?"" he asked, offering it to the young spirit.
"Uhhhh, no thanks," Jack said.
North simply tossed the cake aside. Then he suddenly popped his knuckles, "Now we get down to business."
"Huh?" Jack asked.
The door behind them closed abruptly and locked itself. Jack looked back,when he turned back around, North was walking up to him with a scary look on his face holding on to his shoulder.
"Who are you, Jack Frost" North said as he continued to approach him. Jack stepped back. North leaned down until he was face-to-face with Jack. "Is your center?"
"center?" Jack asked still a little freaked out by North's intimidating look.
"If Man in Moon chose you to to be guardian, you must have something very special inside." North backed up and rubbed under his lip, thinking.
"Hmmmmmmm." His face showed that he had an idea. Walking over to a shelf, he grabbed a matryoshka doll that resembled him.
"Here, this is how you see me, no? Very big, intimidating." he said handed the doll to Jack. "But if you get to know me a little," North held the doll out to Jack, who took it with a puzzled look, "well, go on." Jack laid his staff to the side and opened the matryoshka doll, to reveal another North, but this time with a happy look.
"You are downright jolly?" he said. North nodded, "But not just jolly." Jack opened the doll again.
"I'm also mysterious, and fearless, and caring," with every emotion North mentioned, Jack got closer and closer to the center of the doll.
"And at my center," North held out his hand, Jack dropped the last doll into North's palm. It was a tiny, wooden baby.
"There's a tiny wooden baby," Jack said, rubbing his forehead, wondering what North is trying to get at.
"Look closer," North suggested, putting the baby doll into Jack's hand. Jack held it up and did what he was told, But he didn't know what he was supposed to look for.
"What do you see?" North asked him. Unable to see anything else besides the obvious, Jack answered, "You have big eyes."
"Yes!" North cheered, "big eyes. Very big," he said, putting his hands on Jacks shoulders, "because they are full of wonder." North walked over to his desk and pointed to all the toys around his office and the sculptures he's made. "That is my center. It is what I was born with. Eyes that only see the wonder in everything." A toy dragonfly somehow got switched on and flew on its' own, it headed towards the door, which opened for it, and out into the toy factory. North and Jack followed it. Now all kinds of new toys were floating in the air. Jack could only stare in awe as North continued to talk.
"Eyes that see light in the trees, and the magic in the air. It's wonder is what I put into the world. And what I protect in children. It is what makes me a guardian." North explained
Jack looked down at the baby doll in his hand again.
"It is my center. What are yours?"North asked as Jack sighed deeply.
"I don't know," He said with sad look on his face. North could only smile and curled Jack's fingers over the doll. Even though he didn't say anything, with his actions, he said, "You'll eventually find out." Jack smiled back.
Jack looked back at the toys again. Hailey would like this she would also be flying around with the toys and helping the yetis. Jack looked back at North once more.
"You never told me why Hailey isn't here if she is a new guardian at the same time as me." Jack said as North's face got a look of compassion.
"We couldn't find her." North replied.
"What do you mean, Hailey was on her way to help the Kangaroo with his eggs when I last saw her." Jack said shocked.
Before North could speak they saw something fly by the window. That's when Bunnymund came by.
"We have a problem mates. Trouble at the Tooth Palace." Bunnymund said.
