Frost Bite
The sound of laughter filled the peaceful town of Burgess. Creating smiles from parents and joy to children.
"Snow day!" A red-headed boy called, smile spread across his face in excitement.
"And school only just started!" A girl chimed in. Picking up a pile of freshly fallen snow with her hands and began to shape a ball.
The town buzzed with talk of the new snow and how beautiful it was and how it was just softly falling.
"Well, when you're Jack Frost you can make it snow anywhere at any time." Smirked Jack, leaning against a frosty tree with a smug look, " I'll give you guys a little bit more time off the prison people call 'school'" He grinned.
"Thanks Jack!" called the red-headed boy with a grin and sparkling eyes.
"Yeah, you're awesome." Agreed the blond girl.
"Haha, you know it, up high!" The girl grinned and reached up to high-five his hand, "whoops, too slow." Laughed Jack and pulled away just before she had the chance to reach.
The girl stared contently at Jack with an annoyed look on her face, snow ball still in her hand. Jack laughed and winked at her then blew cold wind and snow in her face. She shut her eyes and Jack wasn't in front of her any longer.
"Loosen up Soph, you used to love the snow, I know I do." Jack smirked.
"Well," Sophie whirled around to see Jack crouching on a rock, twirling his cane, "If you love the snow so much, here, have it!" She then whipped the new snow directly at Jack, but she knew better. She was gonna regret it.
With a look of horror on her face, Jack easily dodged the snow ball that went sailing past his head and raised an eyebrow at her. "Do you REALLY want to have a snowball fight with the very essence of snowballs?" He asked teasingly, knowing the obvious answer.
"Well I, uh…" She looked up at him and turned away, not able to meet his eyes. She furrowed her brows and turned to face him, determination on her face, "Yeah, I do. Bring it!" She grinned and bent down to grab more snow.
"Hmm, I like your spark, then again I always have."Jack grinned and within seconds flew off the icy rock and formed an army of perfect snowballs with a flick of his cane. Kids began to gather from within the town, plotting wars in the park and how they were gonna make snow fortresses and snow forts.
Jack turned to look behind him to find a group of kids looking giddy and excited for a good snowball fight. In front of him, Sophie paled at the sight and started to back away slowly.
"What now my little snow Angel? Still up for it?" Jacked grinned at her which caused a chill down her spine. Sophie shook it off as just the cold wind and glanced around him to see the pile of kids snatching up the snow balls Jack made, already getting ready to have an all out war.
"One against us, ready to back down?" Jack asked with a spark in his eyes.
"Ha! You wish. I-" She got cut off when something hit the back of her head, making her stumble forward a bit, almost bumping into Jack who had jumped down to stand in front of her.
Jack then grabbed her shoulders to steady her and keep her on balance, "Don't be falling for me now." He said, grin still planted on his face.
She looked up at Jack and searched his face for anything serious, but failed. Jack was still a kid at heart even though he was over 3 hundred years old.
He looked back down at her, golden hair shining in the sun coming out from behind the grey clouds, and winked.
She was about to elbow him when his head shot up and he cried, "Jamie!" Jack jumped around Sophie to jog up to where Jamie who was walking towards them with a warm smile. "Hey, what's up? ..'Bout the snowball Soph, I wasn't aiming for you." Jamie grinned teasingly at Jack and half expected him to drop an avalanche on him.
"I would have seen it coming. Good try though Jamie." Jack Grinned back and pulled him into a friendly hug.
Sophie turned to see her brother and Jack giving each other one of those man handshakes where they hug and hit each other on the back. Sophie rolled her eyes and watched them talk to each other. They were kinda best friends and could talk all day, sort of reminding Sophie of 2 teenage girls.
She smiled and couldn't get over the resemblance of the two. They were about the same height but Jamie was a little taller, by an inch or so. That, and he had brown hair instead of snow-white like Jack's.
She was just thinking if jack was going to grow any more, if there was any chance of him aging, when she suddenly got pelted by a bazillion snowballs. Jack and Jamie stopped talking and turned to see a snow-covered Sophie. At that time, Jack burst out laughing and Jamie tried to suppress a chuckle.
"Oh god Sophie my sides hurt. Stop, you're killing me!" Jack yelled as he tried to control his laughter.
Sophie glared at him and bent to pick up more snow, "jack, I don't think you want that to be literal."
Jack grinned at her. "You could never hurt me soph. Well, not with snow anyway."
"I'll find a way." She said trying to hide a smile.
"uh huh, well, you kids have fun. Jamie and I are gonna celebrate his birthday. Now that he's 18, I'll treat him to a birthday surprise!" Jack turned to Jamie and said enthusiastically.
"Err, Thanks but no thanks Jack. I was gonna spend some time with my Girlfriend."
Jamie noticed the obvious hurt in Jacks eyes and pretended not to notice and broke away from his gaze.
"Jamie, I need to talk to you," Jack whispered so Sophie was out of ear shot. "Just forget about her right now."
Jamie has never seen Jack so serious and was a little surprised. "Yeah, Okay." He nodded and they started to walk back together to Jamie's place.
"Jack!" Sophie cried, "You can't just leave me here, we're in the middle of a snow ball fight!" Her words were cut short by yet again, another wall of snow.
