I hate him.
He hates me.
I don't really like the fur ball.
He ignores me.
Oh where are my manners. My name is Abii Summers. As you can tell by the name, I am a heat sprit and the keeper of summer. I'm very different. Unlike the guardians, I can turn off my powers and can turn almost human, look wise. I just became a guardian by MIM. I am the guardian of Imagination. I may not know most of the guardians by heart but the ones I do know, aren't very nice.
So let me explain what I mean.
So I met Bunny around 20-25 years ago. But Bunny didn't like me from the start, he never really told me why, he just started ignoring me ever since we met.
Ass.
And Cold hearted Jack Frost. So I met Jack Frost about 20 years ago when he first became a guardian. I was always jealous because I wanted what he had. Believers. When I first met him, he was nice, but then one time during winter a few days after the guardians got rid of pitch, I was bringing sunshine to Burgess, and I was walking on "Jack's pond", not realizing that it was "his". I melted the ice and it turned back to water. And let's just say he was not too happy with me. Now every time I see him, we always have a spat or a fight, about the littlest of things. Then he will just bring up the pond and then leave in a pissy mood.
So now I hate him and he hates me! That's the story.
Well today is one of the annual meetings, held at the pole. I was the first there, as usual, so I went to help North set up everything before everyone else comes. The next people to come was Sandy and Bunny. I waved to both of them but only Sandy returned the gesture.
See what I mean!
I sighed and continued to help North. Sandy just looked at me with a small, sad smile while glaring at the arrogant Bunny. Bunny just shrugged and sat down.
"Thanks for the help fluff head!" I said very sarcastically.
Bunny just ignored me. I groaned and left the room. I came back in and set the table, when Tooth flew in.
"Hey Tooth!"
"Oh hey Abii!" She said excitedly
I went back to what I was doing while everybody else sat down.
"Where is the bloody show pony? He was supposed to be here early!" Bunny complained. Just as he finished, a cold breeze came by.
"Oh boy, here we go." I mumbled to myself but I saw Sandy give me a small smirk.
"Hey guys, Abii..." He almost growled at my name, spat it out like poison on his lips. I gave him a smug smile but said nothing.
"Ok let's get dis started!" North bellowed. We all talked for a little about what was up in our lives until Jack spoke directly to me.
"So Summers, ruin anybody's stuff lately?"
"Stuff up Frost."
"No I'm really interested to hear about who's lives you've put at risk or have ruined!" He said very sarcastically.
"I said be quiet Frost." I was getting angry. I could feel my hands and face heating up.
"All thought I'm not sure how you did it because NO ONE CAN SEE YOU!" That set me off, he knew I was touchy around the subject. Before I knew it, I burst into flames. All the guardians were shocked. No one has ever seen me this angry before. I tackled Jack to the ground.
"You know how touchy that is!" I growled.
"Yeah but it's amazing knowing that I'm believed in!" I stopped and glared at him, but if you looked closely into my eyes, you could see the sadness and the tears that were welling up. I tried to hide them as best I could and stormed out, slamming the door to my guest room at the pole. I turned off my heat power and collapsed to the floor in tears. I didn't know where this came from, since it has only happened one other time. But I just had my back against the door, silently sobbing into my knees.
Jack's POV
I have never seen Abii so angry before. I mean like yeah we fight but never had she tackled me nor burst Into flames. I was so angry that I brought up the topic that she dreaded most. Believers. Since she didn't have any, and I was mad I told her something that I felt guilty about after. "Yeah but it's amazing knowing that I'm believed in." I'm pretty sure I heard something snap from inside her. The rage in her eyes had gone down slightly but she still looked mad. I stared her deep in the eyes and noticed something that wasn't there before. Tears. It wasn't noticeable, and I know she made it that way but I still felt bad. She then stormed out, slamming the door behind her. I looked at the other guardians.
They looked as shocked as I felt.
"Jack... What was that?" Tooth asked after a few minutes of silence.
"I really don't know." I admitted.
"I was just so mad I didn't even realize what came out my mouth."
"I will go see if she is ok." Tooth said and then stood up.
"No!" I said and she sat again, staring at me.
"Let me do it, since I caused this." I walked down the hall before anyone could protest.
As I walked down the halls, I took a proper look around. The nice wooden walls, the toys that littered the air and the tables, was really quite pretty. As I neared Abii's room, I felt a presences behind me. I turned and I saw none other then the Sandman him self.
"Sandy what are you doing?"
He flashed some signs, something along the lines of he wanted to see if Abii was ok. I nodded.
"You go in first. I don't think she wants to see me right now." I said honestly. Sandy nodded and went forward. I sat outside.
About 5 minutes later, Sandy came out with a sad smile on his face but a sadder look in his eyes.
"Is she ok?" He just looked at me sadly and left. I sighed and put my ear to the door. I didn't hear anything for a minute and I was about to leave when I heard it,
"Sniff..." It was faint but I heard it. I knock.
"Go away." It sounds like she was angry, but something more.
Like she was crying.
I cringed at the thought of making someone cry. Then I finally thought over what I had said, making me cringe more.
"Abii?"
"Go away Frost." She whispered it but she sounded hurt. I softly opened the door. Inside I found her sitting by a big window, head in her knees sobbing. It wasn't loud but if you came into the room you could hear it. I silently shut the door and flew beside her. She sniffed and lifted her head to look out the window.
She didn't even notice I was in the room.
"MIM why can't people see me? I wish I was like the others. Special. Important. Needed." She put her head back down and sobbed more. I instantly felt bad and sat I front of her. I put my hand on her shoulder and she didn't do anything but cry harder. I ran one hand through my white hair and used my other hand to calm her.
After a little bit, she looked up. She looked like a small child. Red hair in her face trying to cover the tears that tracked her checks. Green eyes all puffy and slightly red.
"What do you want Jack, want to throw some more at me? Want to keep telling me how people don't believe in me. Even though I already know. Want to tell me that-" she stopped mid sentence because she couldn't contain the sob that came from her throat. The tears fell freely now. I reached up and brushed away some of the tears that fell. She looked at me, in shock and sadness then looked down.
"Why are you here, why would you help me?" She whispered, obviously not trusting her voice.
"Because, you need me." I whispered.
"You need me to help you become needed. You need to feel loved by someone. But most of all in this situation. You need someone to be the shoulder you cry on. And that's what I'm here for." I smiled.
I lifted her chin up to look her in the eyes. In her eyes, was a scared little girl that needed help. I pulled her into a hug and at first she didn't respond.
But then she relaxed and hugged me back. I could feel my sweater getting damp from the tears but I didn't mind.
Abii's POV
Jack was right. I did need someone. And at that moment in time, I didn't mind if it was him. I relaxed into the hug, my emotions getting the better of me, I silently cried into the shoulder of his sweater. After a few minutes I managed to calm myself down and I looked up.
"So-sorry about your sweater." I stuttered. He gave me a small sad but warm smile.
"That's ok." He wiped a tear off my face that I didn't even feel fall.
"I'm also sorry about you seeing me like this and for tackling you. I'm pretty sure you have better things to do then to be here with me."
Jack frowned.
"There is nothing more important then helping someone who needs it most, and if it happens to be you then, I don't mind. You can't always control how you feel. So don't be sorry about expressing you emotions." I nodded and wiped my eyes.
"I'm sorry about bringing up a sensitive topic. It was wrong and I won't do it again." He said. I nodded.
"All is forgiven." He smiled.
"Now are you okay?" He asked, sounding concerned.
"Yeah, just a little shaky and upset but other than that I'm good." I forced a smile and the frown returned.
"No your not ok. What's wrong? It is something more than this whole fight between me and you. What is it?" I sighed, tears forming in my eyes again, but I refused to let them fall. I am not a weak person. I took a deep breath.
"Nothing, all is fine." That would have worked out, if my voice didn't crack. Jack sighed deeply.
"Ok if your sure. I will be right back just stay here." I nodded and waited for him to leave.
Once he left I closed the door and walked around the room, fighting back the sobs that racked my throat. I took a shaky breath, trying to calm myself but nothing was working. A tear slipped down my check. I sighed and looked out my window, watching the snow fall outside. I didn't even realize I was crying again until I felt a warm hand on my check. I turned and saw Jack sitting across from me.
"I'm fine I promise." He looked unimpressed.
"Oh so that's why I come back in finding you like this right! Yeah your totally fine!" He said sarcastically.
"Abii, really what's wrong?"
"I-I just can't deal with this whole guardian thing anymore." I said, not looking him in the eyes incase he sees the fear. I heard him take a shocked gasp and hold it. I felt the tears sting the backs of my eyes, some slipped down my checks but i wiped them before he could see them.
"What part of being a guardian upsets you this much?"
"Just that fact that I can't show up here with out being hated or ignored by people. I already get enough of that from the real world and I don't need you guys doing too. I just feel hated!" I looked up and saw small tears in Jack's eyes.
"No don't cry! Please I can't handle that too!" I panicked as the first tear ran down Jack's face. He laughed.
"I'm so sorry! I shouldn't have been mean to you for an accident that happened years ago. And I'm sorry." Another tear. I almost screamed. I wiped it away and he laughed again.
"It's supposed to be the other way around. Me wiping your tears, not you wiping mine!"
"Well you need me. I'm your shoulder as you are mine." I smiled and so did he. I hugged him again and then we walked out.
And this is how we became friends in the end.
Haha hey guys! I hope you liked the beginning of this! This is fun to do so I will be doing more! :D
-Abby :D
