It wasn't a typical winter this year. The snow reached up to 2 feet somedays, but the main reason was because it was July. It rarely snowed in July. Of course, Kay Whitener enjoyed it very much. Sometimes she would pull on her jacket and boots and run outside, playing in the snow for a few minutes. She didn't mind getting cold. Her mother always worried that she would get frostbite or something, but Kay just ignored her pleads and pulled out the sled, which she used for short rides down the driveway. She acted like a 6 year old in a candy shop, when, in fact, she was almost 14 years old. But Kay liked to have fun…unless she was around people that she didn't know. But everybody in the neighborhood was like family to her, so she didn't worry.
After 5 hours of playing in the snow, Kay returned to the house with a stuffed up nose and chapped lips. Her parents were over at their neighbor's house, talking to him about repainting their basement, since he was a painter. Kay liked having the house all to herself, it gave her a sense of confidence.
To get rid of her stuffy nose, she made herself a glass of hot chocolate and curled up on the couch with her computer and her drawing notebook. She liked to look up pictures of things on the internet and try to replicate them. Her favorite things to draw were mythical creatures. Kay flipped to a crisp, new page and punched in mythical creatures on her computer. Up popped the usual photos that she'd already drawn a million times. Kay wanted something more. This picture was also for a grade in her art class, and she really wanted an A. After thinking a little, Kay decided to type in mythical tales. Dozens of different photos popped up, including St. Nick, the Tooth Fairy, the Easter Bunny, Sandman, and so many more. Kay wasn't really interested by any of them, at least, until she saw the picture of a young boy, around her age, with glistening white hair and pale skin.
"This is perfect." She mumbled to herself, a habit Kay always had. Her hand flew across the paper absentmindedly, sketching out the basic shape of the head and the body. Next, she drew the eyes, the mouth, and the clothes. Her hand continued to work magic on the paper, and an hour later, the drawing was all colored in with a bunch of different blue pastels, and Kay signed her name at the bottom.
Kay was still curious about this character. She didn't even know who he was! Her finger scrolled over the picture, revealing the name of it. Jack Frost Art it read. "I've heard of that name before." Kay mumbled. Suddenly, the song popped into her head. 'Jack Frost nipping at your nose'. She recited. Excitedly, she typed in the words Jack Frost into the search bar and clicked on the first result that popped up.
Jack Frost is the representation of cold, ice, snow, and winter. He is responsible for nipping the nose and toes in cold weather, and he makes fernlike patterns on cold windows.
Just then, Kay heard a faint crackling sound coming from the kitchen. She moved her computer and drawing book to the table and tip toed into the next room. The girl's eyes widened at the sight of her whole window covered in beautiful ice patterns, almost like a… "Fern."
That night, Kay climbed into bed with her new drawing. Until the snowstorm ended and school started again, she planned to tack that drawing up above her bed.
All of a sudden, her window flew open, but it didn't hit the wall. Kay spun her head around and jumped off of her bed. Again, fern like ice stuck to her window. "Hello?" She whispered quietly, trying not to wake up her parents. Nobody answered. Sighing, Kay turned around, but an ice cold hand gripped hers and dragged her out the window. Unfortunatley, Kay's forehead got in the way of the escape, and everything went black.
