Chapter 1:
My name is Jack Frost. How do I know that? The moon told me so. And for 300 hundred years that was all he ever told me. I had roamed around all alone, with no family, no home, and with no known purpose. I couldn't be seen by anyone and I wasn't believed in. So I guess you can say my life wasn't all that great. My powers were the only thing that kept me entertained. With the help of my staff I am able to make snow and ice, kind of goes with my name, Frost. Plus with the help of the wind, I can fly. Sure that's all great when you put it that way but just remember there was no one around for me to share this with and the whole not being seen thing didn't help me much either.
Lucky for me that recently changed. I am now a Guardian. There were originally four guardians. North aka Santa Claus, Tooth aka the Tooth Fairy, Bunnymund aka the Easter Bunny, and Sandy aka the Sandman. The Guardians of Wonder, Memories, Hope, and Dreams. Together, they are the protectors of children. They all have their known jobs as most children know. What the children don't realize is that they do much more than that. For example, recently the Boogeyman also known as Pitch Black was trying to make a comeback. Almost succeeded too, though we were able to stop him, just in time. That's how I got involved. To me, everything was normal. I was still unseen and the Man in the Moon or Manny still never answered me. Though I learned later after being snatched by some yetis, that he had talked to the Guardians and told them it was time I become one too. So that's how that adventure started. We had our fights and disagreements. But in the end I learned who I was, where I came from, and what my purpose was. I helped them defeat Pitch and chase him back into the hole he crawled out of. I had finally been seen by a child. I was believed in. I even found home and a family. Who am I? I'm Jack Frost. The Guardian of Fun. A protector of the children of the world.
A year had passed since we defeated Pitch. Everything had gone back to normal. Well, better than normal. I wasn't the nomad Winter Spirit anymore. I had a family. North, Tooth, Bunny, and Sandy, they were my family. We all had our jobs to do but we spent as much time as we could together. North even offered me a room at the North Pole Workshop. Which after a while I grew to accept. After 300 years I still found it hard to believe that I would find a permanent residence. So when I wasn't causing snow days and blizzards, I was at the North Pole. Everyone had truly accepted me. Sure, Bunny and I still had our arguments but it turned more into jokes and not real fights. It was a brother-to-brother relationship. Meanwhile North turned into a fatherly role and Tooth a motherly role. Honestly they couldn't help it. Even Sandy had turned into parental role. I guess they couldn't help it, seeing as to them I still looked like a bit of child even though they know I can handle myself. But it was nice to know that they actually cared for me. It was nice to be part of a true family.
Jack stood on his lake in Burgess. He had decided to give his favorite town and favorite believers a snow day before leaving to meet up with the rest of the Guardians for their typical meeting. It was something they did every few weeks to catch up and see how one another were doing. Jack didn't mind though. He looked forward to these meetings. It meant spending time with his family. They were always so busy with their jobs. It was hard to organize a time where they all could be together at the same time. When Jack wasn't bringing fun and snow he tried to meet with them one on one. Spending time with North meant admiring his new toy creations. With Bunny they were always messing around and racing one another. Bunny though at times did get annoyed with Jack, lightened up after Jack had proven himself and became a guardian. He sometimes visited Tooth and Baby Tooth at the Tooth palace and at night he would see Sandy and his dream sand swirling around in the night sky.
Jack took one last look behind him. He had just left Jamie and his friends from their snowball fight. Promising them that he would be back soon to have another. He smiled at the thought. He had never thought these days would come. The ones where he was not only playing with children but was being seen by the children. He still couldn't believe it finally happened. Even though it was a year later, it still left him stunned. Suddenly, he felt a chill on his back. And for Jack that was something of a big deal, seeing as he never got cold. He spun around. The lake was empty as usual. No signs of trouble. He squinted looking for some sort of sign.
Must just be my imagination. He thought. We got rid of the real threat a year ago. There's no way he could be back so fast.
Jack glanced over to the spot where Pitch's hole used to be. The old wooden bed was gone along with the hole itself. Jack shook his head, clearing his silly thoughts.
"Wind! Take me to the North's Workshop!" he called out.
The wind gladly honored his request and shot Jack into the air. Carrying him to his family. Leaving all suspicions behind.
Meanwhile in Pitch's lair, a cold laugh was echoing within the walls. Pitch stared at his globe. The lights were once again bright. Though Pitch at the moment didn't seem to care. One of his fearlings returned from the world above bringing him excellent news. Ever since the guardians banished back into the earth, he had been slowly recovering. Saving his strength so he could accomplish his new goal. Break the guardians, specifically the newest guardian. Jack Frost. If he didn't interfere with Pitch's plan last year, things would have been different. Frost just didn't know when to mind his own business. It was time he learned his lesson. Breaking Jack Frost, would not only satisfy Pitch, it would hurt the guardians as well. Pitch had watched them grow fond of the young guardian for the past year. It was the perfect revenge. Hurt the one thing they become to love. Plus breaking Frost wouldn't be that hard. He had saved his strength. Jack would suffer by his hand. Not only physically, but mentally as well. Pitch was sure that even though Jack believed he had a new family now, he couldn't possibly forget the last 300 years of solitude. Playing that card would give him the advantage he needed. But first he needed to snatch the boy.
"Come my fearlings," he said, "It's time to rise to the world above and get the attention of some guardians."
A smile crept to his lips and his fearlings followed the instructions of their master, disappearing through the cracks in Pitch's lair.
