A few years ago, I started a fanfiction called `guardian of light`. I never finished it for many reasons, the major one being a major depression. I just didn´t have the energy to keep writing. But I never forgot my story, and always planned on trying again. And I feel like now is the time to do so.
I wanna apoligize for any grammar errors and misspelled word, as english is not my first language.
Well, thats enough backstory, enjoy!

"Jamie! Get down from there this instant!"
Aida watched in horror as the little boy climbed higher and higher up the tree.
She would climb up after him, but she was unsure if the thin branches would hold her weight. Damn it!
Sophie laughed and clapped her hands watching her brother climbing, still too young to understand the danger of the situation he was currently in. Jamie looked down when he heard Aida calling his name, gave her a big smile and waved. The knot in Aidas belly grew bigger when she saw the branch sway when he jumped up and down on it. Fuck it, she was going up to get him!
Aida told Sophie to stay put and began running towards Jamie. But she wasn´t fast enough. The branch Jamie was currintly standing at broke, Aida screamed in horror as she saw him falling towards the hard ground underneath him. She closed her eyes, waited for the sound of Jamie´s small body hitting the ground, but it never came. Aida slowly opened her eyes.

She thought the shock made her imagine things. Aida closed her eyes, shook her head and looked again. No, this was really happening. Jamie was floating a few feet above the ground, completely unharmed. How was this possible?
"J-Jamie?" Aida whispered, her voice trembling.
She heard a loud, happy squeak from Sophie, and turned around. The little girl was extatic, her blonde hair flying all over the place as she jumped up and down, her small hands waving in the air.
"Jack!" she squealed. "Hi Jack"
Aida didn´t know what to think. What saved Jamie? Who was Sophie talking to? She bent down in front of the little girl.
"Sophie, who are you talking to?" she asked. Sophie wasn´t given any time to answer before Jamie started babbling:
"Aida, its Jack Frost! He is a guardian, and he knows santa claus, and the tooth fairy and the easter bunny and..."
Aida put her hands up, "Woah, slow down buddy! What are you talking about?"
Jamie looked at her like she was stupid, and slowly said:
"Jack Frost, Aida. He caught me before I hit the ground!"
Aida was more confused than ever. Jack Frost? Guardian? Santa Claus? All of this sounded impossible, but what was she supposed to believe? She had the evidence right in front of her!
She saw something appear aroud Jamie´s torso. A...hand? Then, an arm, a body, a head, a face.
A young man was looking at her, holding his arms around Jamie´s waist, keeping him from hitting the ground.
No! No fucking way!
Aida took a step towards them, her green eyes wide by surprise. "Jack Frost?"
Jack dropped Jamie in surprise
"Hey!" Jamie yelled, but no one paid him any mind.
Jack took a few steps towards Aida, carefully putting his hand on her shoulder. Aida quickly backed away, holding onto her shoulder as if he had burned her.
"What are you doing? Don´t touch me!" she said, weirded out by this stranger randomly touching her.
Jack took another step towards her, his eyes as big as plates.
"I-I can touch you!" he said excitedly. "You can see me!"
"What? Of course I can see you! You are standing right in front of me!"
The surprised look on Jack´s face changed into happiness. "I cant believe it! You can see me!"
Jack couldn´t contain his excitement. He started flying around, snowflakes forming around him, dancing around his staff. After a few minutes, he calmed down, and flew back to Aida, who was staring at him, mouth wide open in surprise.
"Im sorry if i freaked you out." he said. "It has just been such a long time since someone my own age could see me."

Jack took a closer look at the girl in front of him. She was the prettiest girl he had ever seen. Her light skin was covered in freckles, and her eyes were the same color as emeralds. But the prettiest was her hair.
"How did you get your hair that color?" he asked her.
"Huh? Oh, I just use ordinary hair dye." Aida explained, tucking her pink hair behind one of her ears.
Aida looked down, not exactly sure what to say next.
"So... You saved Jamie. Thank you" Aida said to Jack.
Speaking of Jamie, where was he? Aida looked around. She saw that Jamie had started walking home, holding Sophie´s hand tight in his own. He had grown tired of waiting while Aida talked to Jack and decided to walk home himself.
"Jamie, wait for me!" Aida shouted and began running towards the two children.
"Wait!" Jack shouted after her. "Whats your name?"
Aida turned her head back, giving Jack one last look. "My name is Aida Mullins! Im Jamie´s and Sophie´s neighbor!"

The following months, Aida and Jack grew closer and closer to each other. Everytime she babysat Jamie and Sophie, Jack would join them. They would sit and talk while the kids were playing. When they were out in public, people stared at her when they talked, but Aida didn´t mind. She had never really cared what people thought of her, it just took way to much time to care about others opinions.
Aida really enjoyed spending time with Jack. He was one of the few people who could really make her laugh. He was such a goofball and he sometimes litteraly made her laugh uncontrollably when he made ice on the ground so people slipped and threw snowballs at unsuspecting people passing by. She felt like she had found a true friend in the young guardian. Jamie and Sophie seemed to love him, and Jack seemed to love them told her all about his adventures with the other guardians, how he helped to stop the boogeyman from taking over the world.
Everything was as good as it could possibly be.

Five months after Aida and Jack first met.
Aida tossed and turned in her bed. She looked at her clock and sighed. 3:42 am. Only a few hours left until she had to get up, she might as well just give up on sleep.
She hadn´t slept well in days. She felt worried about something, but really couldn´t put her finger on it. It was not the first time she felt like this. She was never able to explain it, but she always had the ability to feel when something was going to happen. If she was about to forget something, if someone was about to accidentally knock something over. Not like a sixth sense, just a feeling in her belly that something was not right.
Aida decided to give up on sleep for tonight. She left her bed and started heading towards the bathroom. She was about to grab the doorhandle when she suddenly stopped her movement, her hand frozen a few inches from the doorhandle. She could smell...smoke?
Then, screams from outside. Aida flung the door open, ran down the stairs and threw herself out the front door. She was met by the sight of flames spreading through the Bennet residence.
No, Jamie and Sophie!
Aida ran up to the big crowd that had formed outside the burning house. She looked around, and when se saw Jamie and his mother she ran up to them.
"Mrs Bennet, are you ok?!"
Mrs Bennet did not answer her, she just looked at her burning house with horrified eyes.
Aida looked around, but could not see Sophie anywhere. She looked down at Jamie.
"Jamie, where´s Sophie?" she asked the terrified boy.
He didn´t answer, without taking his eyes of the flames he pointed towards the burning house.
No, oh god no! Sophie! Sweet little Sophie!
Without even realizing it herself, Aida started running towards the burning house. Someone called her name, but she didn´t react. All she could think of was getting Sophie away from the fire. Aida threw herself through the front door into the flames. She could feel the fire burning her, but despite the pain, she did not stop.
"Sophie!" she screamed at the top of her lungs. "Sophie, where are you?!"
She tried to listen, to hear where she was, but all she could here was the sounds of the fire. Aida went deeper into the house. The hot flames burned her skin, and the pain made her eyes tear. She had to find Sophie!
As she made her way through the burning house, she kept screaming Sophie´s name.
"Aida!"
Aida stopped in her tracks, tried to listen.
"Aida!"
There, in the living room! Aida made her way towards the living room as fast as she possibly could. And there she was, curled up into a little ball behind the couch, her hair covering her face.
"Sophie, come to me as fast as you can! But be careful, do not touch anything!" Aida instructed her, coughing from the smoke quickly entering her lungs.
Sophie looked up at her, nodded and slowly stood up, carefully beggining to walk towards her. As soon as Sophie was close enough, Aida grabbed her and lifted her up. Sophie put her legs around her torso, hiding her face on her shoulder. Now, holding the small child, Aida made her way towards the exit, carefully avoiding the flames as much as she could. She had made it into the hallway and was about to run to the front door when something grabbed Sophie from her arms. She heard a small thud when Sophie hit the floor, and immediatley turned around to pick her up again.
She froze in fear when she saw him. A tall man looked down at Sophie, holding her tiny arm in a tight grip. His golden eyes were cold and filled with anger.
"No no no, sweetheart. I want you to stay right where you are." he said.
He was smiling, but it was a twisted, wicked smile. His voice made Aida shiver. It was so cold, lifeless. She had never truly feared someone, until this very moment.
Aida quickly snapped out of it. She still had to safe Sophie, not only from the fire, but from the man holding her. She walked towards them, and grabbed the mans wrist.
"Let her go, right now!" Aida tried to sound threatening, but she could hear her voice tremble.
The man shifted his attention towards Aida. He did not look as angry anymore. He looked more... surprised?
"You can see me?" he asked her.
He seems shocked that i can see him, he must be like Jack, she thought
But he did not feel like Jack. Jack made her feel happy and full of energy. All this man made her feel was fear. True, deep fear.
She tried her best not to show how terrified she was. "Yes! I can see you! Now let her go!"
He released his grip of Sophies arm, and she immediatley ran up to Aida, jumping into her arms. He didnt look surprised anymore, the twisted smile was back.
"Well, unfortunatley for you, I am the last thing you will ever see. Hold the little brat if you like, the both of you are gonna die anyway!" he smirked
"Who are you?" Aida whispered, to afraid to raise her voice.
Sophie mumbled one word into her ear. "Boogerman"
Aida immediatley realized who was standing in front of her. It was Pitch Black, the boogeyman. The man that had tried to take over the world, the man who tried to kill Jack, the man that attacked the city with his nightmares!
"I should have known you were the boogeyman. Jamie and Jack told me all about you!" she hissed.
"You are a friend of Jack Frost? Perfect, thats two birds with one stone!" Pitch exclaimed happily.
"What are you talking about?"
He took a step towards them, making Aida take a step backwards. She did not want to be anywhere near him!
"Well, this was just revenge on the two brats that helped in stopping me, but if I kill you, I will have taken my revenge against Jack Frost as well! Let´s see what he says when he finds out that i killed his girlfriend!"
Okay, Aida really had enough of this jerk. She put Sophie down on the ground, leaned back and punched Pitch as hard as she could in the face.
The boogeyman jumped back in surprise, putting his hand of the part of his face where she had hit him. He smiled.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk. You should not have done that!" he smirked before throwing himself over her.
Pitch pinned Aida to the ground and put his hands around her throat, just like she planned. She knew she would never beat Pitch, but if she pissed him of enough he might be too focused on her to see what Sophie was doing. She would not get out of this alive, but Sophie would.
Aida turned her head as much as she could and looked at Sophie. Sophie looked back at her, tears streaming down her face.
Aida smiled weakly at her. "Go", she hissed, Pitch´s hands to hard around her throat for her to speak any louder.
Sophie obeyed, and ran out the front door. Aida could hear Jamie and Mrs Bennet scream her name.
It was not until now Pitch realized Sophie was gone.
"No! I will kill you for this, you little Bitch!" he spat at her.
Aida looked at him. She smiled, knowing that she had won. The kids were okay, everything was okay.
She closed her eyes as the sounds around her grew weaker and weaker. She felt her mind slipping away. Then, nothing.

Soo, that was chapter one. Ending is depressing as hell, I know. But it will be okay, I promise. After all, there are many chapters left! Please give me feedback if there is anything I can do better, or if you just want to say hi. Well, thats all i had to say!
LUNA OUT! *flies into the distance*
