Chapter 1
It was that time of year again, Jamie's favorite time. The air became lighter and cooler on his nose. A small trickle of fresh white powdered snow fell from the sky and lightly dusted the ground. As he looked out of his window, he couldn't wait to get outside and play all of his friends, who were calling his name telling him to hurry up. Jamie pushed his window open and gave his friends a warm wave. "I'll be down in a minute!" He shouted. His eyes then drifted to his breath. It was funny how you could see it in the cold air.
But his favorite part about this season was the fact that his friend, his best friend, Jack Frost was coming to visit!
It had only been two years since Jack Frost and the other Guardians saved the entire world from the dreaded Nightmare King, Pitch Black! There were times where Jamie felt a little afraid because Jack wasn't around all of the time...and what if Pitch returned? Of course, there had been no sign of him anywhere since that day! It was like Pitch disappeared off the face of the planet! Which was a good things for children everywhere...but there still was that slight fear...
As Jamie rushed to put on his coat, Sophie came bursting through his bedroom door. "Jamie! Jamie! It's cold outside again!" It was nice to finally understand what his little sister was saying. He could remember the way she sounded when they had their adventure with the Guardians. But it was also a sign of both of them growing up. What would happen when he grew older? Would he still be able to see Jack? Or any of the other Guardians for that matter. He knew his mom couldn't see Jack. There had been plenty of times where Jamie would stay up late just talking with Jack and his mom would come in the room and just see Jamie sitting up in bed, wondering what he was going on about. A twinge of sadness hit Jamie. The thought of growing up scares every child now and then. But what if Jamie grew up and forgot all about his best friend.
Jamie shook the painful thoughts off and grabbed Sophie's hand. "Come on! We're gonna go and play in the snow. Maybe Jack will come back today!" He said with a wide grin. Sophie cheered and ran along behind her brother. The two of them reached the front of their house and were greeted by friends. The children then started to run around, hoping more snow would fall so they could start their winter games of snowball fights, largest snow angel, and sled racing.
Little did the children know was that they were being watched. This entity was small and dark. It had no real shape..it was just kind of a ball that shifted from being a ball, to an oval, to a squiggly lined thing. Even though this thing had no face or expressions, it was noticeably curious as to what the children were doing. Why were they running? Why were they laughing? What were their names? What were their...fears? A dark create indeed. But where did it come from and what was it doing in Burgess?
It continued to linger in the shadows and continued its watch over the children. This group was of great interest to it.
Meanwhile, back at the Pole, the North Pole, the workshop was busy as usual. Preparations for Christmas always started as soon as the year began. There was no time to sit around and waste. Millions of children around the world were counting on him, and North always delivered. He wouldn't have been able to keep up with this work of course, if the Yetis had never agreed to help him. They were friends he had made a long time ago, in his life before meeting all of the other Guardians. The Man in the Moon worked in very mysterious ways. But North has agreed with all of the decisions that have been made while working along side the Man in the Moon. It was a great honor to be chosen as a Guardian.
But a story for another time! North was alone in his large office, building little ice sculptures, as he often liked to do. For the past couple years, things have been different around the Pole. There was a new resident there who made work difficult sometimes. And one of those times was now. North's eyes went from his tiny plane/train mash-up to one of the windows. He could see something being drawn on the frost. Then, the image tore away from the window and became a three dimensional object. It flew into the room and swirled above North's head. North heaved a sigh and looked down at his creation. "Now look here, Jack! I work hard creating these ideas! You can't just steal 'dem!" His voice boomed. He had a heavy Russian accent, which really fit his large, intimidating appearance. But there was also a softness to it.
"It can't be helped! This is what happens when I watch you make toys all day." Jack Frost pushed the window open and glided into the office. His bare feet landed softly on the solid wood floor, not making noise at all. He walked over to North and propped his staff parallel to him and leaned against it. He couldn't help but grin a bit. "Your creations are always better than the copies I make." North smiled. He knew that Jack was always playing tricks and causing trouble with the Yetis and elves..but it was all in good fun! "'De workshop wouldn't be the same without you, Jack Frost!" North rose up from his chair and twisted from side to side, feeling a small pop in his back. He raised his arms up over his head and stretched.
"It is time you vwent down to the little ones, yes?" Jack nodded in agreement. "I can't keep Jamie waiting forever! I think all these months have been enough." Jack said as he looked down to the floor and then back up at North with a grin. "I feel the same vway! Enjoy your time there! Don't forget to check in every once in a while." North winked and then turned away from Jack. He went over to the cabinets to grab some cookies. The elves were still fussing over them, making sure North got the best cookie of the bunch. "Cookie?" Jack waved his hand. "Nah, I'm just gonna head over to Burgess. I'll be there for a while." North nodded. "Of course." With that, Jack turned from North and headed for the window. He stepped onto the sill and crouched down. He took a deep breath and then grinned once more. "Wind, take me home!" Jack jumped out of the window, his arms spread wide.
To be continued! Till next time~
