Chapter 1
This is a work of fiction. I do not own How To Train Your Dragon or Rise Of the Guardians.
The night was illuminated by billions of light bulbs in the sky called stars. Intricate patterns of frost weaved it's way though the trees of the forest into the city, killing any traces of Autumn that had just passed. Nobody was awake this time of night, so thankfully no accidents would occur on the ice.. until tomorrow that is. However, if a man or a women would happen to slip on the glazed path, only the children would hear the titter of a young man. This certain young man with ashen hair isn't really a young man at all. His crystal blue eyes have seen the world evolve in the past three hundred years- and you'd think someone whose been around for that long possesses a great amount of wisdom? Ha. No. Despite his age, this not so young man has the heart of a child and immaturity of a teen.
His name is Jack Frost.
Clad in a blue hoodie and brown pants he took a stance on the tip of a school building, imitating a baseball player. A staff with a curved C at the top was gripped tightly and with a forceful whack, sent hundreds of snowflakes flying everywhere. The snow eventually built on top of itself, creating a barricade at the entrance. Why was Jack Frost doing this? Simple. He was creating a snow day! A day where children wouldn't have to attend school because of the cold - and dangerous - weather! But Jack knew that a pile of beautiful snow measly laying in front of the door would stop anyone. His brows knitted in thought, if he made a snow storm big enough maybe... His train of thought was interrupted by lights of green and pink hues swimming in the sky. Eyes widened in shock. "Wind! To the North Pole!"
Lead by two gigantic yetis, Jack entered the heart of North's factory. Elves scampered along the floor while large furry creatures built toys and contraptions. A large globe was propped in the air with panels, symbols and words written in a foreign language. In front of that was the control panel with a set of levers and switches. North stood with two hands resting on the desk, tattoos showing while the sand man was behind him, looking down at his tiny feet in worry. "Hey, North! I, uh..." Ok. He knew that the lights he saw earlier was a warning to sign to all guardians. Only used for emergencies. But he couldn't prevent the excitement building up in his stomach, this was the first time he was being called for an emergency ever since he was chosen to be a Guardian. That was over a year ago!
Attempting to cover up his obvious enthusiasm, he cleared his throat and walked over to the control panel. "Yo big guy-" He shooed away the yetis with a wave of his hand. They rolled there eyes and went back to work. "Whats up?"
North turned to look at the new guardian, confusion and slight anger etched on his face. "Jack, I wish I could say it was good to see you. But its not good. Not at all." Jack glanced at Sandy, who just shook his head. Ok Jack was beginning to really worry, he wasn't all that much worried when he was signaled because he was to damn excited at the fact that this was his first official guardian emergency meeting, (which he is willingly attending) but now the worrying was settling in. "What do you mean?" The small man formed pictures above his head which made zero sense to Jack. Thank Manny North was translating. "The children, are having nightmares again."
"What?!" That wasn't Jack, but rather the Easter bunny who just entered the scene, looking pretty pissed. "How could they be having nightmares?! I thought we defeated that bloody no good boogey man!" With a clap of his hands, North bellowed. "One more down, one to go!" The rabbit eyed the man and was about to shout until something caught his eyes. Jack followed his gaze. "The children.. North what's happening?" The winter spirit felt his heart plummeting in his chest. "They're..." The globe that used to be a lit with millions of lights were now slowly dwindling and flickering. A feminine gasp was heard. "No more to go! Ok everybody listen, this is very important. Go ahead Sandy!" Said man of sand began creating images above his pointed head. As they continued at a rapid pace, Bunny and Tooth looked horrified, leaving Jack bewildered. "Guys I really don't understand what he just said."
"Ah ya drongo! Do you not get it? Pitch is back!" Tooth fluttered in, "No were not sure...Jack, Sandy says that children are having nightmares and are under some sort of coma. Its somehow... effecting their belief in us." The feathered women wore a sad expression, remembering what happened last time. She kicked the thought out of her head when she realized Jack was not believed in for most of his undead life and only now children were beginning to believe in him. Tooth felt even worse. "A-a coma?" "Yeah. Not even Sandy's dream sand can help them." Jack's vision flickered around the ground, as if the answer to all this was lying there. "Pitch...I thought we got rid of him?" North waved his hands in the air, "Exactly. We do not know for sure if it is Pitch. But the lights are very slowly going ka-put! Until we figure out what is causing problem I want everyone to keep both eyes out!" Jack chuckled and was about to correct him until a thought slowly dawned on him. His smile dropped. "Jamie..." All the guardians gasped.
"Jack..."
"Now calm down a minute mate..."
Concern welled up inside the boy, "North, there's no time to fly back. You gotta let me use a snowglobe." Gripping his staff in anguish, he looked up at the colossal guardian. "Please." Nicholas' azure eyes stared into the expression the teen guardian wore. The only time hes ever seen that face was when Sandy supposedly died. It was filled with pain and isolation. The complete opposite of Jack's usual smirking face. With a sigh, he placed a beefy hand on the smaller one's shoulder. "I understand. Jamie was first believer. Obviously he is important to you, but remember the other children are in danger too." The corner of his pale lip twitched upwards. "Yeah.. I won't forgot that. Its my job after all, ya know.. The whole Guardian thing. "
Bunnymund thumped his foot in annoyance, "I hate to break a gushy moment here, but we've got children to save." North smiled with confidence and nodded, "Indeed." Reaching into the fuzzy pocket of his red coat, he pulled out a snowglobe and handed it to Jack. Toothiana was busy with her fairies above them. Whizzing to different groups and directing them where to go. "Ok I want you, you and you to cover Australia and New Zealand! You girls cover Asia and you- What is it sweetie? Aw of course I'm coming with you!" Jack smiled lifting the snowglobe in the air before saying his thanks, and with a crash he was gone in a burst of colours and light.
I feel like it was to short. This took awhile to write and I'm not 100 percent happy with the outcome. If anyone has any advice for me it would be very appreciated. :)
