Well I really enjoyed this film so I've decided to write a little story about it, concerning my own OC. If you all like I will continue writing it. Simply let me know.
It was official, Jack Frost was a Guardian. They all were back at North's home, Tooth was talking excitedly to Sandy who was patiently listening with a smile on his face. Jack was sitting on the window seat reflecting on the night's events. Bunny and North were arguing as per usual about who's holiday was deemed more important. He stared out the window, even though he knew who he was, that children believed in him, it still didn't feel enough. There was still this hole inside that he couldn't describe. He considered asking North about what it was but after a moment or two he decided not to. North brushed away Bunny's snarky reply as one of his Yetis walked up to him. He had a brief conversation before he burst into laughter.
'Haha! It seems we have a guest! It has been long time!' He bellowed in his thick Russian accent. Tooth flittered around him.
'A guest? Here!? Who?' She babbled.
Jack slid off his seat interested in what was going on. He stood next to Bunny who rolled his eyes at North's secrecy. The Yetis walked into North's study escorting a young woman. She had long black hair, dressed in a simple tank top and jeans, she wore a converse that went up to her knees. She looked quite plain. But as she came closer Jack knew who she was. A pair of ebony feathered wings were folded neatly at her back. A scarf of some sort was tied across her eyes. She smiled as she walked in.
'Bow!' Tooth said happily. She flew over and embraced the young woman tightly.
'Tooth! Please I need to breathe!' Her voice had a melodious tone, Jack felt it lift his heart as he listened. She smiled as Tooth let her go brushing her feathers back down embarrassed. Jack couldn't help but smile as she did. 'Oh, yeah, the reason I'm here. I saw what Pitch was doing,' she held up a small bag, 'these are the teeth that your fairies were carrying when they were attacked. I was flying past your palace at the time, I kept hidden it looked like you had it covered. Besides I would have just got in the way.'
'Oh Bow! You shouldn't have, we would have found them!' Tooth almost snatched the bag from her, 'and what do you mean get in the way? We could have used your arrows!' Bow laughed and brushed Tooth away, Jack felt his heart clench, everything this woman did made him feel enamoured. He almost couldn't stop himself from taking a step toward her.
'Bow, you're doing it again,' Bunny laughed with her. Sandy made a little heart with wings glitter in the air, Bow giggled and kissed him on the cheek after giving Bunny a quick hug.
'Am I? Sorry, I forget,' it was like a switch had been turned off. Her voice was still melodious but her presence didn't effect him like it had. Even though her eyes were covered by the thick cloth she watched all of them with exact precision. North picked her up and embraced her tightly.
'Ah Cupid, what would we do without you?! Come meet new Guardian!' He gave her no choice as he carried her over to where Jack was standing awkwardly. She struggled, he could see her wings twitching as she fought. 'Calm down little dove, I will put you down in moment,' he chuckled. Cupid groaned and went limp as he held her. He plonked her down in front of Jack who suddenly felt very aware of how he looked.
'Jack Frost?!' She said surprised. Her tone went cold. 'Congratulations I suppose.' The tips of her hair and a shine on her feathers flashed a dark red before disappearing.
'Um hi, Cupid,' he said brushing back his hair nervously. She regarded him for a moment before nodding and turning away quickly. She moved gracefully over the carpet, toward the large window.
'I-I have to cut this short, I'm sorry I have things I need to be doing,' she opened the window and jumped onto the ledge.
'Wait, you're leaving already? Why? Come on Bow, you've only just arrived! Please don't go,' Tooth said, she flew over to the open window. North and Sandy exchanged a glance, Bow was looking at Jack, she nodded and without another word she leapt out of the window, Tooth sighed as she saw her friend snap open her wings and glide on the wind. Bunny coughed.
'Crikey. Is it me or did it suddenly get cold in here?' Bunny mused looking at Jack.
'What?' He said defensively, 'I didn't do anything,' he leant on his staff, he was a little disappointed that she had gone.
'It seemed to me that she left as soon as she knew you were here,' Bunny shrugged his shoulders, 'what have you done this time?'
'Wha- Nothing! I've never even met her before' he sighed, North was giving him a scrutinizing look.
'Time for bed! It has been long night!' North commanded shoving Jack and Bunny out of his study. Sandy and Tooth followed obediently. They all had rooms and a good nights sleep looked more inviting each moment. North chuckled and shut the door. It was a couple of hours before he heard a tap at the window. Bow was hovering with steady strong flaps of her wings. A thermal caught her and she vanished for a moment as she tried to lower her height again. North smiled and opened his window, she dove it, shaking the snow off her wings, knocking over a small toy in the process, her wings were at least ten foot across, she quickly pulled them in, an apologetic look on her face.
'Thought you might return,' North said, 'drinks,' he said to a nearby elf. Cupid nodded and shook out her hair.
'Is there anyone else here?' She asked pausing.
'No, they've gone to bed.'
She smiled and untied the cloth that she kept wrapped around her eyes. She rubbed her temples and turned to North, he was the only person that she allowed to see her without her covering. Her eyes glittered in the firelight. She had no pupils, no whites. They were pure black. Sparkling, she looked at North. He was shocked the first time that he was shown but he was used to it now. After a couple of moments her eyes turned a warm orange. She was comfortable and happy. It took a while to learn what colours meant what, but North had taken the time to learn. She was very self conscious of her eyes that was one of the reasons she kept them hidden.
'So...' she began.
'Jack,' he said smiling.
'He's the new Guardian then,' she leapt onto the chair back, she balanced on the balls of her feet. She brushed her hair out of her face, as Cupid she had the ability to change anything about herself but she couldn't change her eyes. She like her long hair, but she changed the colour often. She refused to change anything else about her body or face, she was born Cupid just after the dark ages, she still remembered her clan name and treasured her memories.
'What is problem? You were asked to be Guardian once. You said no. So did he, but we wear him down.' He sat on the opposite chair and took one of the glasses the elf held out to him. 'I tell you little dove, you have got to wear more layers than that, you will catch chill.'
'I said no for a very good reason North, you know this. I won't be a Guardian until I find him,' her eyes flashed a light pink before settling back down into the warm yellowy orange. North rolled his eyes, the man in the moon had said that Cupid while being the goddess of love, she herself would also fall in love. So she hadn't stopped searching. 'Also I like the cold, just as I like the sun,' her voice turned bitter. 'I like everything.. the curse of being Cupid.'
'Oh little dove, I know I can be hard sometimes, but you will find him,' he reassured.
'When though!' She let herself slide onto the armchair, 'I've searched and I've searched North! I can't find him anywhere! I'm so tired,' her eyes turned a light blue edged with silver as she begun to cry. '600 years I've looked. Nothing.'
North got up and picked her up, he sat back down in his chair and let Bow sit on him, she buried her head in his chest and cried. North was the first person to find her, he was the closet person to her. After a while North tried to move her, but she had fallen asleep. So he placed in the arm chair and wrapped a blanket over her. She worked herself too hard. He finished his drink and shut the window. He had no doubt that when he came back she would have left.
...*...
'North? Are you in here?' Jack knocked softly on the study door. He had thought about the empty feeling that he held inside and decided that he would talk to the man, he might know something about it. He sighed and opened the door. He didn't expect to see Cupid sleeping on his chair. He padded over to where she was laying, crouching as he approached, she looked so peaceful and she wasn't wearing the binding that covered her eyes like before. He crouched before her, inches from her face, there was something about her. In a sudden flash he realized that the feeling of emptiness he had felt had now gone. Without meaning to he brushed a strand of hair out of her eyes, tucking it gently behind her ear. She stirred moving her face into his open palm. He smiled to himself stroking her soft skin.
Her eyes fluttered open, a light pink glittered. Jack gasped. He felt the flush of her skin as she panicked.
'AHH!' She screamed bolting upright. Jack fell backwards his hand still warm from her skin. She blinked and silver glittered from her hands as her bow and arrows materialised in her grip. She drew back an arrow still trying to stand, her wings spread causing things to be knocked from shelving as she fought for her balance. Her eyes turned a dark blue as she looked at him. Her aim was steady as she followed Jack as he got to his feet, his staff was leaning by the door and he grabbed it. She loosed her arrow and Jack created a shield of ice, the arrow burst into glitter as it hit his barrier.
'What! What are you doing here?!' She demanded her wings still breaking things as she fell from the armchair.
'Why are you here?! Why are you shooting at me?! Calm down!' He said holding his hand out, he had scared her that much was obvious. He didn't want her to leave so he had to try and calm her down, he just wanted to talk. 'Please, please don't, just calm down, please.' Bow nodded and let her weapon disappear. Her eyes widened in shock and she grabbed the cloth from the table. 'Wait,' Jack grabbed the cloth from her hand, 'don't. Don't hide them.'
Bow recoiled from him and tried to snatch the material back, but he held it back from her. He could smell her perfume, she smelt of roses and honeysuckle. He felt his mouth go dry as she looked at him, her eyes swirled in different colours unable to settle on one. Behind him the door opened and Bunny ran in followed by Tooth and the others.
'Strewth what's going on?' He looked around at the broken toys, the remnants of Jack's ice shield. Jack turned to explain and Bow took the chance to run toward the window, Jack tried to get in between but North held him back. Bow skidded as she opened the window and jumped out. Cold wind flooded the room. Sandy floated over and shut the window, he faced Jack with a small question mark over his head. Jack shrugged and tightly gripped the scarf in his hand. Without another word he brushed past North and Bunny and returned to his room.
