Prologue
Saundra awoke in darkness. There was nothing. Nothing at all. She was scared. What is happening? Where am I? A million and one questions raced through her mind. Then she saw a light. Realizing she could move, she went to the light, and reached out to touch it. When she did, it suddenly expanded and filled all the darkness, blinding her. She covered her eyes with her hands. When she moved her hands away, the was standing in the middle of a forest. Trees towered above her head. Snow covered every surface. The snow, it was welcoming, comforting, beautiful. She smiled, standing in the hidden forest. She walked a little bit, coming to a clearing. There was a frozen lake, and on the lake, a boy with snow white hair and pale skin was standing on it. Looking closer, she saw he had big blue eyes. The boy touched a wodden staff with his foot, which, to both of their surprises, became coated with frost. The boy picked up the staff, then walked over to two trees. He touched the staff to one of the trees, which just like the staff, became coated in a beautiful frost pattern. The boy did this for a while, then ran around on the frozen pond, dragging the staff making more beautiful frost patterns across it. Saundra slowly walked out to the boy. He stopped when he noticed her. He looked at her. That's when Saundra realized she had no idea what she looked like. She looked at her reflection on the ice. She gasped. She looked strikingly similar to the boy, in fact, they were practically identical. She had long, flowing, snow-white hair like him, and also the big blue eyes. Suddenly, a voice rang out in their head.
Your names are Jack and Saundra Frost. You are twins. You are the children of winter, and therefore can both control snow, ice, wind, and frost Stick together. Always.
They both looked up to the moon. Somehow, they knew the voice had come from the moon. They looked at each other again. Jack spoke first.
"Hi, I guess I'm Jack." He held his hand out for her to shake. She did, feeling how cold his skin was.
"I'm Saundra."
He smiled at her and she smiled back. She had been told she had powers, so she decided to try them. She walked to a tree, then lightly touched it. Just as she had thought, frost patterns flew from her fingertips, coating the tree. Jack looked at her and smiled. She smiled back gleefully. She ran over to him.
"You thinkin what I'm thinking?" She asked excitedly.
"Probably!"
The then ran over the ice, gliding smoothly and leaving frost patterns everywhere. He took her hand and they ran all over. All of a sudden, Jack flew straight up in the air, dragging Saundra up with him. They screamed and laughed, flailing their arms and legs, then calming down, then falling into a tree. Saundra landed on a branch right above Jack. She looked down at him, he looked up at her, and they both burst out laughing. They spotted a village, then decide to fly there.
After the two had gotten slightly better control over Jack's flying, they landed in the town and walked in.
"Hey excuse me! Can anyone tell us where we are?" Jack called out to a few passerby's, but they ignored the pair.
Jack walked right in front of a kid. He bent down to ask him when suddenly the kid ran right through him. Jack breathed hard, a look of horror on both the twins' faces. They looked at each other. Saundra walked up to a woman, only for the same to happen to her. She and Jack held each other, as person after person walked straight through them. They ran to the woods, far away from the village.
And that was 300 years ago.
