So this is a story that I wrote a while ago and never finished and basically ended up taking down but I've decided to give it another go and try and get further with it. I hope you enjoy!

It was the first day of December and a certain snow haired guardian was visiting the town of Burgess to spread the first snowfall of the year. Due to his busy schedule as a guardian, Jack hadn't been able to create his usual winters earlier in the year but his time had finally come and he wasn't holding back. Even though Jamie had now grown up and left the town, Jack still visited occasionally to remember the fun times they had. He started with a gentle snowfall that gradually became heavier until the snow was about two foot deep. He then skated across the ponds until there was a thick layer of ice forming over the water. While moving through the town he coated the tree leaves with a sparkling frosty pattern before finally reaching the school. To celebrate the first snowfall he decided to give the kids a snow day and froze all the pipes so the school would have to shut down for the day. Happy with his master piece he flew around the town waiting for the children to wake up so he could play.

On the north side of the town a young girl with crystal blue eyes and long chocolate brown hair was in a light and dreamy sleep when the sun slowly began to peer through her bedroom curtains. She flinched at the light on her tired eyes and hid herself under the blanket. Her mother soon walked through the door and opened her curtains wide before shaking the girl gently on the shoulder. "Cathy, wake up. Cathy, Jack Frost has a surprise for you" her mother recited smiling, knowing her daughters reaction. Cathy immediately threw her blanket off the bed and raced over to the window to see the fresh sparkling snow. "Wow its beautiful!" the eight year old said, eyes sparkling like the snow.

"Turns out that he also froze the school pipes so you have a day off" the mother said setting her clothes out for the day. "I'll be at work so go to the kids club or one of your friends houses ok?"

"Yes mom" she replied still looking out of the window. The truth was that Cathy had no friends, it was a lie so that she could get out of the house or avoid going to the kids club. She would often daze off in school and start daydreaming and because no one could keep her entertained for very long without her going back into her own world, no one wanted to be around her. She didn't really care that she had no friends though; she knew that people were mean and would take advantage of her because of her nature so she avoided people so she couldn't be hurt. The one thing she did love was fairy tales, Jack Frost being her favourite. She always looked forward to the winter months knowing that Jack Frost had visited and left his gift of snow and ice.

Her mother soon left for work and Cathy quickly got changed into a pair of navy jeans, an aqua t-shirt, brown coat and a pair of knee high brown boots. She raced over to the front door and was about to open it when she realised she had forgotten her white snowflake scarf. She picked it up and placed it around her before running out into the cold air. She quickly made her way to her favourite area in the town; a small pond near the outskirts that was surrounded by trees and sparkled under the light during the winter. She would often go and daydream for the majority of the day by the pond as the majority of the children preferred to go to the park.

Once she arrived she sat down on the edge of the pond and took in the scenery and breathed in the cold, cool air. She wished that Jack Frost would visit more often so she could visit this scenery more often and feel at ease, complete serenity. However this peace did not last long as heavy steps could be heard in the snow. Cathy turned around to see two boys only a year or two older than her carrying solid ice balls. As soon as they spotted Cathy they began to chuckle. "Looks like we have our first victim to try our new ammo out on" the slightly larger of the two said grinning and taking an ice ball in his hand. Cathy quickly stood up and began to slowly step backwards onto the frozen pond. "L-Leave me alone…" she stuttered trying to keep her balance on the slippery ice. He then threw the ice ball directly at her with great force but Cathy managed to dodge it but fell backwards as a result. She could no longer stand up and the ice was beginning to crack underneath her trapping her and giving the boys a clear shot. The second boy took his aim but before he was able to throw a snow ball was thrown directly in his face, causing him to drop all the ice balls. One after one more snowballs came flying at the two forcing them to retreat. Cathy looked around to find the source of the snow balls but suddenly felt the ice cracking again as it was about to collapse into the freezing water. She screamed as she felt her body falling and braced herself for the cold water but it never came. Instead she felt a different kind of cold surrounding her, a more calming and cool one like the winter breeze she loved so much. She opened her eyes to find herself floating in the air in the arms of a boy with snow white hair, sapphire blue eyes and a deep blue hoodie with a frost pattern around the neck line. The boy smiled at her and gentle placed her down on the snow. Cathy looked at him for a few moments before realising who it was.

"Jack Frost?!" She said with big eyes filled with wonder.

"You can see me?" He said slightly shocked but still very happy. Cathy nodded gently still gazing up at the boy who saved her. Jack then crouched down to her level and smiled "That's surprising, most people don't believe in me so can't see me"

"I believe in you. You make all the pretty snow and ice and give us snow days" she replied excitedly.

"Yea that's right. So why were those boys picking on you kiddo?" He said placing a hand on her shoulder.

"No one likes me so they pick on me instead" She said with an expressionless face.

"You haven't got any friends?" he said but Cathy simply shook her head in reply, "how about I be your friend hm?"

"Really?!" Cathy said with the biggest smile she could "You would be my friend?!"

"Sure, I'd love to be your friend. So what's your name?" Jack said still smiling at the little girl.

"Cathy!" she replied holding out her hand.

"That's a very pretty name, I'm Jack" he replied shaking her hand.

"Are you always cold?" Cathy said feeling his cool skin touch hers.

"Yea, does it bother you?" he said taking his hand back worriedly.

"No it's nice. The cold doesn't bother me" she said giving him a hug to prove it. Jack quickly returned the hug feeling the warmth of a human, a feeling he hadn't felt in a while.

"So Cathy, want to play a game?" Jack said untangling himself from the hug.

"Ok!" she replied with a big grin.

They spent the rest of the day building snowmen and having snowball fights and any other games they could think of using the snow. However the sun soon began to set and Cathy's smile began to fade. "I have to go home now…" she said sadly wishing they had some more time together. Jack noticed this and came up with an idea. "How about I give you a ride home?" he said creating a large ice slide. Cathy nodded happily at this idea and Jack quickly lifted her up on the slide and gave her a strong push sending her down and then up into the air. He flew along next to her using the wind while creating multiple snow slides and curving paths until they reached her house and he created one last slide to glide her into her bedroom and onto her bed. When she landed she began to laugh at the fun she had and Jack quickly slipped into the room. "That was amazing!" she cried bouncing up and down on her bed. Jack smiled at her happiness and could feel his heart warming at the sight. Cathy then realised something and jumped off her bed and ran over to Jack "will I get to see you again?" she asked hopefully.

Jack crouched down again and smiled at her "of course, were friends now right?"

She beamed at his response and hugged him tightly not wanting to let go of the frosty boy. She then took off her scarf and placed it around Jack "scarf with love!" she said happily so that he wouldn't forget his promise. He smiled and looked at the scarf before giving her one last hug and flying out of her window to continue his winter job.
