Hey people, this is my first officially published fanfic, I don't own any of the characters in this story except for Katherine (you'll see who she is).
In this story Jack is 19 years old (yeah kind of old) but still has that childish personality and is also immortal and the female protagonist is 17
well hope you like it and follow the story :D
The cold wind in his face distracted him a second, a precious second that he could have used to dodge a snowball coming directly towards his face, but when he realised it, it was already too late.
The snow spirit fell to the ground laughing and planning his revenge, Jaimie and the other kids started to create more snowballs and throwing them at each other their laughs where echoing in the snowy neighbourhood while more and more kids joined the snow fight.
Jack was preparing a special snowball just for Jaimie, a smirk appeared on his face as he was getting closer to the distracted kid, but just as he was going to make him pay for the snowball his prey turned around with a wide evil smile.
"Now!" The kid said, making every other kid to turn their eyes at the blue-hooded guardian, armed with snowballs everyone started to throw them at him "He's getting smarter every day" Jack thought proudly as the snow was thrown at him.
Little they know that Jack had a trick under his sleeve, he called the wind and with its help he threw the snow covering him back to the kids, more laughs were heard as they tried to run from the inevitable shoots of snow.
His blue eyes looked around for some kind of threat, but the smiling kids where all in the floor and were laughing without control, he joined the laughs and got closer to the kids, Jaimie was the first one to stand, he smiled and hugged the snow guardian, Jack flinched, after all that years of loneliness he was still with some problems to let people touch him, he finally hugged back the kid as he heard a soft "Thank you" coming from the child's mouth.
A bright smile appeared in his face and proud started to run quicker through his veins as the kid broke the hug and went to his house, he just surprised himself by such amazing work that he couldn't stop smiling, but a deep pain in his chest appeared as everyone was leaving to their respective home, he didn't had one.
Sure, being with the other guardians was alright, but spending a lot time with them was annoying, Bunnymund was grumpy, Thoothiana was overly attached and North was too... Happy... Even for him, he really loved them as a family (except bunny) but he couldn't see himself sharing a home with any of them.
He walked through the neighbourhood looking at every house trying to get the idea of what to put in his future home, right now he had just 3 things for sure, a bed, a nice view and, of course, the terrestrial globe that shows children who believe in him.
After walking multiple times and still no inspiration the the frustrated young guardian sighed heavily and sat down in a big boulder near him, he placed his hands on his face and screamed in anguer, but as be raised his view a much bigger house took his interest, the snow spirit quickly flew towards it and stopped meters away from the wooden door.
He hid between some bushes when he saw a person sitting in the balcony of the house, a young girl was concentrating in a book she had in her hands, even that he didn't had interest in the book at all there was something in the girl that called his attention, but he couldn't tell what.
The curious spirit slowly flew to her side, the girl shivered and wrapped herself a little tighter in her jacket as the winter guardian got closer to her, the armchair she was seating on was facing directly to a door that leaded to the mentioned house, the young man stood just in the middle of them.
He stared at her for several minutes trying to figure out why could be ever be interested in a human, even more her, but he couldn't, there was something special about the young lady, he knew it... But what was it?
His curiousness changed to anger, then frustration and finally intrigue, he was annoyed the most by the fact that after all that time she was still concentrated in her book, lost in his own thoughts the young guardian didn't hear a shattering noise coming from inside the house, but the female did, she was startled by the noise, she quickly put her book on her legs and looked at the door in confusion.
Jack glanced a look at her too and when he saw her looking at his direction his heartbeat raised, he felt suddenly warmness in his face and chest area as a smile was drawn on his mouth that couldn't be erased, he was sure she was looking directly at him and just him, he opened his arms expecting a hug but after several seconds his heart fell from the sky.
"Katherine!" An angry woman screamed from the house "Your stupid cat broke another vase again!" Her giggles echoed in the terrace, she grabbed her book from her legs and placed it on top of a small table at her left "Don't worry!" She said with a smile on her face "Ill clean it!".
Jack could feel his heart slowly shrinking as the girl walked through him... She wasn't a light... for her he was just a tale, a joke, a lie... The small seconds their eyes met when they both looked at the same direction Jack felt something he'd never felt before, he felt warmness by himself, even if the girl ignored his existence he will fight for make her believe, for show her how real he was.
Her slender hand grabbed the door knob, she slowly turned it and pulled from it, as the door opened a small brown cat purred and rubbed himself on the girl's legs, however, noticing the presence of the snow guardian his attitude changed drastically and hissed loudly at him.
The young gal looked behind her in confusion and fear expecting an insect or a rat behind her, but as nothing visible seemed to be there she sighted in relieve, she raised the cat and squished him in her chest "Why are you such a dick?" She asked him with a smile.
Jack smiled and the cat hissed at him again, but this time Emma didn't turned, she went inside her home and closed the door behind her, leaving the invisible guardian without a chance but stay outside.
"So Katherine... Seems I will make a new light shine" he said softly with his usual cocky voice, his principal purpose was now to be visible to that girl and to find out why he was so intrigued by her, he turned his view slightly to the right and saw again the same brown cat that apparently hated him wagging his tail, almost laughing at him.
