chapter 1- she reminds me of someone.
i flew through the air. north was expecting me to freeze over ponds, a couple weeks before Christmas. i put it off, until now. a day before Christmas. i held on to my large stick. bunny wanted me to call it by it's real name, so i don't keep yelling 'wheres me stick?' but, when was the last time the guardian of fun, listened to a big, old, fat, rabbit?
"haha!" i heard. who could be laughing at 3 in the morning? even those kids they stay out till dark, are forced to go back inside, in winter time. i looked down, at the falls i was flying over. i think they called it Niagara falls. i saw a girl, with a blue jacket, and brown shorts on. she had long curly bluish hair, with long white streaks. she was bare foot, but ran fast. "she picks up her pace, ready to jump the epic Niagara falls! not slowing down, for anything. and..." she stepped onto the railing, and jumped over the great falls, making it to a small island in the middle of the lightning fast water. "she makes the jump! simply stunning!" she cries out, taking bows to the imaginary crowd. "Charlotte frost is the most amazing person in the world!" the girl cried. i was interested in what was happening, all up till she said it. her last name. frost. "this girl can skate, fly, and freeze!" she slid onto the water, and as she walked, she froze, leaving a trial of ice in the water. as the girl skated, she made a large snow flake. i floated down to a tree, and placed my stick against it. then, i flew over to her, and watched her closer. "nothing can hold her back! she dosen't need to stop cause she's not cold, and no one can see her, or anything she dose!" she cried. i lowered my self, so i was right next to her.
"well, i can." i said. she turned around quickly, and backed up. she seemed frightened. close up, she seemed about 15. while me, being 200 and something. but, i looked 19.
"who are you?" she asked. she shivered from fright, since she said herself she wasn't cold.
"jack frost. guardian of winter, and fun." i introduced myself.
"jack?" she said in a whisper. "jack!" she cried this time, throwing her arms around me, and dragging me down to the ice. when i was able to find out what happened, i relieved she was gripping me in a tight hug.
"do i know you?" i asked. she let go, and back away. she was kneeling on the ice, and i was stuck on my butt, since she pulled me down.
"you don't remember me. do you?" she asked. her smile had disappeared, into a straight face, looking as if she might cry at any moment. "think back!" i did. "winter's coming so bitter and cold, i think we shall become so old. the minter air freezes my cheek. as mid-winter creeks down the street. winter may come so bitter and cold, but i'll still be here with you and mom." i remembered!
"who's quite old." we said at the same time. Charlotte filled my arms again, and began to sob into my jacket.
"i'd never thought i'd never see you again jack!" my little sister cried.
"how?" was all i could ask.
"mom and me, were so upset you were gone, she went crazy. and was token away. i was left alone, and i couldn't stand being alone. so i went skating, everyday, hoping one day you would come back. but then i fell in the water." i tightened my grip in her. she smelled like home.
"don't worry Charlotte. your not alone anymore. your big brother's got you now." i rocked her back and forth, feeling her cry on my shoulder again.
"please never leave again. ever!" she cried.
"don't worry. i won't ever leave your side. we'll be a family once again." i said. my shoulders jumped, as i felt snow go down my back.
"haha!" she cried, stuffing another snow ball in my jacket.
"oh i'm going to get you" i called, grabbing onto her waist and throwing her over my shoulder. and carrying her over to the pile of snow.
"jack frost don't you dare!" she cried.
"i triple dog dare myself." i laughed. i flew up in the air, and dropped her into the large pile of snow. she landed, with no troubles. i dove down, to see her, and she grabbed my jacket hood, stuffed snow in it, and tugged the ropes to tighten the jacket.
we flew around, hitting each other with snow balls, like we did as kids. soon, she found my stick leaning against the tree.
"oh!" she cried. she aimed it at the tree, and it froze the whole thing. i flew over next to her, and took it from her hands. "cool! can i have one?!" she cried.
"Charlotte. i love you. but no!"
"JACK FROST. IM GOING TO KILL YOU!" a big booming voice yelled. he had a thick accent, and landed on the ice next to me and Charlotte. as north did this, Charlotte hid behind me. "JACK I TOLD YOU TO FREZE THE LAKES AND PONDS, WEEKS AGO! AND THERES STILL WATER ALL AROUND. WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS?!" north cried. he jumped out of his ride, and stared me in the face. had he gotten taller from the last time i saw him?
"north. don't you have gift's to deliver?" i asked, trying to get the subject off of me.
"just got done. i finished extra early to hunt you down." oh god. he was angry. "huh?" he noticed Charlotte behind me. "jack who is this?"
"well, north. she's my little sister." i told, Charlotte poked her head out from behind me, waved and hid behind me again.
"Charlotte frost?" north asked. he bent down, so he was around her hight. "come on out. i wont hurt you." he promised. my little sister, was almost as tall as me, but had to look up to talk to north. "Charlotte. you've been alone all this time. haven't you?" Santa asked.
"yeah. but, not anymore. cause now i got jack!" she cried, giving me another hug.
"i see. did you believe jack was going to come back for you?" north started. i was really wondering where he was headed with this.
"yeah. i've been alone since i fell in the pond like Jack." north shook his big head. "Jack. Charlotte, may i have a word with you, back at the pole. you know the north one." i nodded my head, grabbed my stick, and headed for the sleigh that sat on the ice. Charlotte crawled in next to me, north climbed in, and soon the reindeer, were off.
"Charlotte look down." north said. she did as she was told and detracted her glare to a hole on the side on the mountain. "thats where i had a sack put over your brothers head, and sent him down that shoot." ah yes, i memoire of me being stuck in a long tunnel made by a bunny.
"so it's safe?" Charlotte asked. north nodded his head, which was a bad idea. Charlotte stood on the edge of the sleigh, taking a frozen leap, she dived down into the tunnel.
"ha!" i cried, watching my sister making the leap of faith.
"Jack i have some bad news!" north called. " your too light. now that your sister jumped, the sleigh is off jump down there, or your lunch jumps." he looked at me, and he was smiling. an evil Santa smile.
"you wouldn't dare." i cried.
he turned to me and said in a very low voice; "try me." his ride began to spin around like the worst roller coaster in the world, with over a thousand loops. i decided i wanted to keep my lunch in my black-pit, and jump. i slipped through the ice tube, surprised i didn't get stuck.
i landed in norths workshop, next to Charlotte.
"can we do that again?" my baby sister cried. i lifted my hand, and my magical stick joined my hand.
"in your dreams." i replied. Charlotte stuck her tongue out at me, and stood up, just to be surrounded my little elves.
"stop! what are you? a yeti? little Susie want a doll with a pink dress! not a blue! ah! it's like i'm working with animals!" a girl yelled. she seemed to be yelling off a yeti, that had been working for north. then, she saw us. "jack frost. nice to see you." she shook my hand. she was defiantly Charlotte's age. no doubt. she had white skin like north's, and blond straight hair. she wore a Santa hat, and a dress that went down to her knee's. it was red, with white fluff on the sleeves and the end of the dress. it had a loose black belt, with a golden buckle on it.
"hi. i don't believe we met." i said shaking her hand.
"no. i'm Camilla. Camilla clause." north's daughter? when the heck did he get a daughter?
"i've been alive for 15 years, but i've been working with the under-aged yeti's teaching them how make toys." did she read my mind? "yes. i read your mind." i had nothing to say with that.
"hi. i'm Charlotte frost. the little sister of the man you just scared." i glared at my sister, as she laughed about the comment about me.
"well, now that you all met, i think it's time to have a chat with Jack." north said, as he walked to me. "Camilla. take Charlotte for some hot chocolate." north ordered his daughter and my sister.
"come on Charlotte!" as the two 15 year olds ran off to the kitchen for hot chocolate.
i watched as my sister raced Camilla. so far, Charlotte was in the lead.
"Jack. we must have a word." North said, leading me to the large computer like globe.
"what is it?" i asked, floating to the top of my staff.
"you remember pitch right?"
"how could i forget, he claimed our powers would be stronger together." remembering his tall back silhouette, and the black figures dancing around him, sent shivers down my back.
"well, it seems he's returned somehow. i still don't understand how. but i think it may have had something to do with your sister." North said, as he said; my sister, my heart started beating 100 times faster. i jumped down from my staff, and stood to see what nick had to say about Charlotte.
"how dose pitch returning have to do with Charlotte?" i questioned.
"well, the man in the moon, made you this way right? well, since you still don't know why that is, that he put you on this earth, so why would he put Charlotte in? now, if he didn't, who did? the only one who has been saving his energy for you. Pitch. and if he finds a soul wanting to leave what they had, he can bring them back to the person they want, while bringing himself back." i looked at north confused of what he had just said. one thing was the man had a thick accent, but with confusing words too? not fair!
north sighed and started again. "Charlotte was brought to the earth by a strong force. you were brought by the man in the moon. so where did Charlotte come from? if say Pitch had been gathering enough power since you defeated him, then he can possibly bring someone back to life. Charlotte for example. she, had been missing you, since you became you. then, in one tragic slip, she fell in the water a froze. now, if her soul had still been looking and thinking of you, pitch could have gathered her into the form she is in now, and poof! she's here, un-knowing who brought her, like you and only getting the advice of 1 thing. her name." now i understood it. "so, that means that if Pitch did bring Charlotte back to life, she can be moving her feet and arms, but Pitch could be controlling her. she's still herself. but, if Pitch wanted to, he can make her attack any thing and one."
Pitch was controlling my baby sister?!
