Hey guys! This is my first fanfic. I saw ROTG over Christmas break and I fell in love with it. I made my dad and uncle see it with me, even though I had already seen it before with my sister. Please leave a review or favorite. Or both! That works too! Enjoy.
Invisible.
Some are intrigued by that word. Intrigued by having the power to not be seen by anyone. The power to sneak up on your enemies and take them down without them even knowing what's happening.
But some are scared. Scared that no one is able to see them. That they are to be forever alone. Forever hidden in the shadows. Having no one around to catch them when they fall. Being forced to watch other peoples' lives. Being...well...invisible.
To me, it's life. I've always been invisible. To me it's normal. I've been in the shadows for as long as I can remember. Always. Always invisible. I don't even know what's it like to talk to a real human being. Well, I'm not a human being anyways.
I would call myself the spirit of winter if that wasn't already taken. I don't even know if I'm even a spirit at all. I'm just here. The only thing that I really know about me is my name. Isis. That's all the Man in the Moon told me. Nothing more, nothing less. Isis. Real good explanation, right?
Honestly, I've given up on why that's all he told me. I spend more time now trying to think of what I'm supposed to even do. I don't really do much. Just sit and watch peoples' lives go bye. Been this way for 317 years. But whose counting, right?
Jack's POV
I was flying over the streets of Burgess, freezing cars and windows on shops. I froze a sidewalk and a man carrying groceries slipped and ran into a pole. I landed on the ground and burst out laughing as he sat up looking confused. I took off again, soaring over houses and buildings. I landed in a park where a group of kids were having a snowball fight. A small boy, about 13 or 14 was just in the middle of throwing a snowball when he saw me.
"Jack!" he yelled.
"Hey Jamie!" I replied. Soon all of the kids ran over to me and tackled me. "Hey, I- missed you- guys, too. Your-crushing-me-can't-breathe," I chocked out. The kids got off of me and laughed. I couldn't help but laugh either. Being the Guardian of Fun does that to you.
"So who wants a real snowball fight?"
"Me!" shouted all of the kids. They all ran and started to pair off and make forts. I watched as they ran around getting more snow. They had grown up so much in the two years since I had first met them. It had been two years since I had first become a Guardian. It had been one epic adventure, if I do say so myself.
"Everyone ready? OK. Start throwing in three...two...ONE!" yelled a kid. At once the park erupted into a full out snowball war. I leaned against my staff watching the kids. I was about to join in when I heard someone call my name. I turned around to see the most annoying person on Earth. The Easter Bunny.
"What do you what, Kangaroo." I said, a smirk appearing on my face. I loved it when he got mad.
"First off, I'm a bunny. Second, North sent me to bring to the Workshop." He said in is Australian accent. I rolled my eyes. It was always something.
"Hey Jamie!" I called. He looked over at me. "I gotta go to the North Pole," I said. His smile faded. I walked over to him and ruffled his brown hair. "I'll come back as soon as I can, OK kid?". He nodded and smiled up at me.
"See ya later Jack!" he said returning to his team. I smiled and turned back to Bunny. "So how are we getting there?" I asked. A smirk took over his fuzzy face.
"My way." he said. He stomped his foot and a hole appeared underneath me. I fell down into it. I yelled and laughed as I slid through the tunnels. I could see the opening at the end. I shot through it and landed on my feet.
"Ah! Jack glad you could make it!" said a Russian accent. I turned around to face North, the Guardian of Wonder. Tooth was fluttering behind him and Sandy was dozing behind Tooth. I gave a little half wave. I looked around at the huge workshop. I've been here a million times now, but it always seemed to amaze me. The yetis were busy making toys, where as the elves were running around like crazy psycho paths. One elf was "riding" on a model airplane and one was trying to chase him down.
"So what's this about? What did I do this time?" I said, smiling at them.
"For once, nothing," said North. I raised an eyebrow at him.
"You sure?" I said smirking. I loved to mess with them.
"I am-" North looked behind him, "80% sure you did nothing". I laughed a bit.
"80s a big number North. But seriously, why am I here?"
"Ah yes! You see Jack, there is a catch to being a Guardian," he began
"You mean other than having to have kids believe in you?" I asked. North nodded.
"If you were once a human, you have to-uh, how do I put this? Tooth?" The Tooth Fairy looked at him
"Find your other half?" she said half unsure.
"My other what?" I said very confused. Other half? What the heck did that mean?!
"Well, you know how North has Mrs. Claus?" said Tooth.
"Yeah?" I said, raising an eyebrow.
"And Sandy has Sandra?" she said again. I nodded slowly. "Well...um..you sorda...um..."
"You gotta find a girlfriend, Mate" said Bunny half annoyed. My jaw fell open
"A what?!" I yelled. "Why don't you have to? Or, or Tooth? Why me?"
"Because, Jack, Bunny was bunny and Tooth was hummingbird. Neither were human. Therefore, they do not have to find other half." said North. "Oh, and if you don't by next Winter Solstice, you will disappear...forever." I sat down. My head was spinning. When I got my composure, I felt outraged.
"Why couldn't you have told me earlier?!" I yelled, pointing my staff at North.
"Man in Moon did not think time was right." Said North, pushing away my staff. I sat down on the ground again, completely dumbfounded by what just happen. After a while I got up and left to go talk to Jamie. At least he could comfort me.
So how did you guys like it? Please review and favorite. I'll answer any questions you have. I know I didn't get to Isis yet. She'll come in the next chapter. I'd love any ideas you might have. PM me or leave a review! Thanks!
