Since I have a bad case of writers block for my other stories and I'm currently obsessed with Rise of the Guardians (seen it 3 times lol) and these stories seem to be pretty popular ^_^ I think it's time I jump into the current times lol. Don't worry, I will still be continuing my other stories. They are not forgotten.


Chapter 1:
Through the Glass


"I'll always be here to protect you." She said, "Nothing will hurt you."

"I love you, mommy."

"I love you too, darling."

She placed a small kiss on the child's forehead, and tucked her into bed.

"Sweet dreams, Rosie."


Tired green eyes reflected back at me from the bus window. My favorite feature on me was my eyes. They were the color of spring leaves in the sunlight, so bright and shiny. My mother's eyes. Everybody says I look a lot like her, with my peach skin and dark brown hair. That was always the best compliment I received. I sighed, my breath fogging my reflection. I was almost home. No. Not home. Without her, that house was prison.

The winter air bit at my cheeks as I stepped off the bus. I welcomed the cold breeze with a smile and pulled my coat tighter around myself. Winter was always my favorite time of the year. Sure it was cold and sometimes icy, but when the moon shines onto the snow on a clear night, making the white blanket glitter and shine was just so beautiful. How could somebody not enjoy such a magical sight? Not paying attention, I slipped on a small patch of ice, nearly falling over onto the rough cement of the sidewalk. My heart almost stopped, but I caught my balance and moved, carefully, off of the clear ice. Sighing in relief, I continued walking to the place I called home.

I scowled at the white building in front of me. I would give anything to just turn around and walk the other direction, but I had nowhere to go and nobody to take me in. If I could move out, I would, but I was only seventeen and had just graduated from high school. As I walked in the door, He came stumbling into view.

"Where have you been?" He slurred.

"Out." I replied while kicking off my boots.

"Out where? Spending my money?"

I walked away from him, towards my room, but he stumbled after me.

"Hey, I'm talking to you!" He yelled.

I ignored him and continued walking.

"Hey! Don't you walk away from me! You piece of trash! Worthless waste of space! You know that's all you are! Worthless!"

I slammed my door shut and locked it. Putting my back to it, I slid to the floor, tears streaming down my cheeks. I pulled my knees to my chest and silently sobbed, not giving him the satisfaction of knowing he had broken me once again. After mom died, my dad started drinking. Heavily. He never used to be like this, and that's what hurt me the most.


A pair of blue eyes watched from the other side of the window as she cried. Jack Frost would watch her every day as she came home from the graveyard, and every day, he would try to make that frown disappear from her face. Not even his special snowballs worked on her. That didn't stop him from trying though. He wanted to make her laugh and smile like she would two years ago.

Jack watched as she wiped the tears from her eyes and crawled into her bed. He sighed and jumped away from the window, letting the wind take him to another part of the town. Now that Jamie and the other kids had grown up, he was back to being invisible and alone. He still brought fun to the kids though, snow days and snowball fights. Just because he couldn't be seen, doesn't mean he would lie down and give up.

He stumbled across that girl when she was at a park. Something about her just caught his attention. It was the middle of winter and he was causing his normal mischief with frost and ice, when he saw her walking in the snow. He thought that he'd play some tricks on her; he made ice form under her feet to make her slip, but she would catch herself and laugh. Anybody else he tried that to would fall and grumble angrily to themselves about the ice.

Jack followed her to the local park. Everything was covered in a layer of snow, but that didn't stop her. The girl made snow sculptures of kids playing in the park and parents watching them from afar. She stayed for hours making those sculptures, and she had a smile on her face the entire time. When she left, Jack made a thin layer of ice to protect the artwork she had created. Something that had so much time and dedication put into it deserved to last longer than a day or two.

The girl had gone to two more parks after that, making different sculptures at each one. He watched her work the entire time, amazed at how well she could morph the snow. He followed her home, wanting to figure out the girl's name. Sadly though, he never found out. But he still followed her every day, whether she went to school, or just sat at home. No matter where she was, she would smile and laugh. But then, the laughing stopped. She never smiled anymore. The snow covered playgrounds didn't come to life with her snow sculptures. Instead, she went to the graveyard, every day, after school, than straight home.

He wanted her to be happy again, to make those sculptures, and laugh and smile. It was just so difficult to cheer up somebody who can't see him… somebody who didn't believe in him.


Ok, so this was just me setting the scene for you guys. Next chapter will be better, I promise ^_^ reviews please? Continue or not?
