Chapter 1: An Icy Encounter
It was a cold December day. Paige sighed, it was boring since the departure of the brawlers' leader; Dan Kuso. He left them alone to go on his own little adventure, with Wiseman defeated there really was no reason to stay on Earth. However; something was keeping her there and she really was unsure what it was that was keeping her there.
She was bundled up in her winter camoflauge jacket and had an orange scarf around her neck. It bagan softly snowing, she wan unaware of an invisible teenage boy watching her, he looked possibly about her age. He had silver hair, a skinny build and icy blue eyes. He wore a blue hoddie and brown pants and he wore no shoes. He was perched perfectly on the top of his staff watching her. He definitly seemed interested in her. He wanted to be her friend but seeing as she didn't believe in him, she couldn't see him. That fact made him sad.
"Why am I still here?" Paige asked herself. "What's keeping me here?"
She felt like she was missing something from her life, or rather, someone. But who? Jack jumped down by her table and was going to say something only to be interrupted by her friends running up to her.
"Hey, Paige!" Runo said. She has a pink winter coat on. Rafe and Hunter were next to her.
As if on cue, it started snowing.
i Why does no one believe in me? /i
Noticing the snow, Paige looked up and smiled.
"Wow," she breathed out, "its so pretty."
The frosty flakes gently drifted down and many of them settled on Paige's face and clothes, but the Gundalian girl didn't mind. She smiled and licked at the snowflakes that were on and around her lips. Rafe looked puzzled.
"Paige, what are you doing?" He asked.
Runo gave him a strange look.
"Eating snowflakes, duh!" Runo said.
She giggled and then knelt down and picked up a small pile of the white fluffiness and threw it at Rafe's face. The white hit Rafe straight in the face and the Neathian slipped and fell in the snow, coughing as he tried to brush all the snow that Runo had thrown off him.
Runo sighed.
"C'mon, Rafe!" She shouted as she pulled him to his feet. "Live a little!"
Paige grinned.
"She's right! It looks like it's going to be a beautiful winter," Paige noted.
Runo giggled.
"It sure looks like it will!" She agreed.
Paige smiled back. Although this was only the second time she had seen snow, she was no stranger to it. She smiled and then knelt down to craft a snow ball.
"How about a snow ball fight?" She suggested.
"You're on!" Runo and Rafe shouted.
"Oh now we're talking!" Jack said as the snowball fight unfolded. He threw a snowball at Rafe that was slifhtly tainted light blue which unknown to Jack, had the spirit of fun in it. Rafe laughed and threw a snowball in Paige's face. She smirked playfully chasing Rafe and Runo.
Jack Frost sat outside the window of Paige's apartment watching her. She looked so familiar...
i Why does she look so familiar? /i
