I woke up in a snow bank near, curled up near a tree. I couldn't remember who I was or where I was supposed to be.
After pushing myself up I look around and see that I am in the middle of a forest, near a small lake that was covered with ice.
I looked down at my hands and saw that I had very pale skin. I wore a faded blue, long-sleeved dress that had frost at the edge of the sleeves; but strangely I wasn't cold. There was something long and white blowing across the front of my dress; it was my hair. I felt stupid for not noticing my own hair.
I curled my legs underneath me and felt that I wasn't wearing any shoes
After hearing an excited yell I looked back to the lake and saw that there was a boy on it; skating around on the Ice. He had a staff like a shepard's hook, but there was something so familiar about him.
He wore a loose shirt with brown pants that looked as if they had been ripped off halfway down his calf. The boy also wore a brown cloak, had messy white hair, and he wasn't wearing shoes either. He walked over to a pair of trees by the edge of the small lake and tapped on them with his staff. When he touched the trees; frost immediately formed on them.
"Winter." a deep voice said to me. I looked up and saw the moon; shining down on me. "Winter, talk to Jack."
"Is that his name, Jack?" As soon as the boys' name left my lips he snapped his head towards me.
"Hey, who are you?" He asked as the wind swept him over to me. "I'm Jack, Jack Frost." He offered me his hand and I was captivated by his bright, blue eyes.
"I-I'm Winter." I stuttered taking his hand as he lifted me up off the ground, and to my feet. "Where are we?" I asked shivering a little from an eerie feeling I had.
"I don't know. Do you?" Jack said; taking off the cloak he was wearing and, thinking I was cold, putting it around my shoulders. We started to walk around the forest, and I took hold of Jack's hand because I was scared.
He didn't seem to mind, in fact he looked back to me and gave my hand a comforting squeeze. After wandering for only a few minutes; we arrived at a small village.
The village was nice even though it was small. There were several houses, all the same shade of brown, that surrounded a fairy large fire pit. There were several people bustling about, heading to wherever they were going. The only odd thing was that no one paid Jack and I any attention.
An older gentlemen walked by us and Jack tried to stop him. "Excuse me sir," He said but the man just ignored him and kept walking on his way. I let go of Jack's hand and turned to stop a young girl that was carrying some bread; while Jack tried to talk to a couple passing by.
"Hey, I'm sorry to bother you but..." I stopped short when the girl walked right through me. Tears immediately pricked at my eyes as I clutched my chest my chest and fell to my knees. I began to shake as tears made their way down my face.
There was a soft touch on my shoulder and I looked up to see Jack standing above me; tears shining in his eyes as well. He knelt down and held me to his chest as we both began to cry; patting my hair, trying to comfort me, but I could feel the ice-cold tears that ran off of his face and mixed with mine.
"Jack," I whispered, my voice shaky from crying. He pulled back from the embrace and looked at me; tear stains on his face. "What are we supposed to do?"
"I don't know." He answered as he moved to get up, lightly stabbing his staff into the dirt to lean on. Immediately there was a change in the weather. It began to snow and there was an icy breeze that accompanied it.
Jack pulled me to my feet and we both saw the reaction of the people around us. Jack raised his staff higher and the snow fell faster. We watched as adults held their coats and cloaks tighter to their bodies; while a little ways off some children started a snowball fight.
I got an idea and gathered up a handful of the fresh powder, making a snowball. Jack was so mesmerized by what had happened that he didn't even notice me throw the snowball at him until it hit the side of his face.
His head snapped towards my direction and I laughed at his confused face. His blue eyes wide with shock.
"Oops," I said cutely, placing my hands behind my back.
"Oh, you're going to get it now missy!" He said mischievously as he quickly made a snowball and started running towards me.
"Ahh!" I screamed, running in the opposite direction.
Jack pegged me in the back. I turned around and caught snow from the air; forming it into snowballs and throwing them at him as we ran throughout the village. No care and so much joy in the snowball fight that we didn't even take notice of the people we ran through.
Once the fight was finally over the snow was slowly falling as we sat down by a tree, just outside the village. Jack had his arm around my shoulders and I leaned into his chest as we began to fall asleep.
"Jack." I said softly.
He looked down, his eyes meeting mine. "Yes."
"Will you always stay with me?" I asked him, not wanting to be alone when no one else could see me. "Please."
"Just so long as you'll stay with me Winter." He replied smiling.
"Promise?" I asked, purely for reassurance.
"I promise..." He pause and took something from around his neck. "Here." He said putting it around my neck.
I looked at the necklace and saw that it was a small snowflake carved out of wood. "Wow, thanks Jack! But what's it for?"
He chuckled a bit and took the snowflake into his hand. "As long as you have this, even if we get separated, I'll always be with you." he explained.
I gave him a quick kiss on the cheek then a hug. He curled a finger under my chin, and brought my gaze up to meet his eyes.
We leaned in closer to one another until our lips touched. The wind and snow swirled around us and we kissed a little harder. The pace of the wind and snow picked up; we broke apart and they stopped.
Jack gave me a coy smile and I returned it. I took off the cloak Jack had given me and tossed it over both of us. He wrapped his arms around my body, and brought me closer to his; resting his head on top of mine.
It wasn't long until we were asleep.
