Chapter 2
[Crystal's POV]
I woke up and marked another day off the calendar. It was the day that it officially got cold.
When I say officially, I mean that there is a cold front headed to town. It would drop to the low thirties. This was a sure sign that Wind was coming today.
I jumped out of bed and ran to the window. Sure enough it was white outside. I could see him running up the street with his staff trailing behind him leaving the road covered in ice.
I quickly pulled on my boots and coat over my pajamas and ran down that stair and out the door.
It was still snowing. I ran around the yard, kicking up snow. When I got tired I fell down in the snow, laughing. He had climbed on to a tree branch to watch. He was laughing at me too. I laughed at him laughing at me.
"I wish I could show you how to make a snow ball, or a snow angel, or sledding. Or anything." He didn't know I could hear him so I just kept laughing.
I stood up, and whispered, "I'll be right back." So that only he could hear me. I shook the snow out of my pale gold curls and went in to my house.
I took a shower, got dressed in clothes for being in snow and eat breakfast in an hour. Then I went right back out in to the snow.
Most of the kids I baby sat where out and having a snow ball fight. I went over and watch. When I was twelve I tried to play with them but they told me I was too old and it wouldn't be fair to the other team.
So instead I was the 'nurse' that they went to if they fall or get hurt. I sat on the side and watch they play. Wind was floating above them and would make the snow ice, so that the older kids would fall and the younger ones could hit them with a snow ball or two.
"Hey! You guys come in for lunch!" One of the moms of the kids called them all over. The kids sighed and complained but they went anyway.
I walked back to my house. Wind, or Jack as he once told me a long time ago, followed me. When I got to my front door I ran in and up to my balcony and saw that he was already there. This was where I would talk to him so no one would notice.
"I know you're just the wind, and that technically your always here, but it wasn't you the past two years . Where were you?" I sighed and looked down at the lawn. "I missed you."
"I missed you too. I have some great news! The man in the moon said I had to become a guardian. That is a big deal. And I turns out that I was alive once. I had a mom and a dad, and a sister. Oh and I'm a guardian now. I beat the boogieman. And I have some believers now. Jaime, I've told you about him before, him and some of his friends believe in me. It feels great. To really talk and play with someone." I tried not to feel hurt. It was my own fault that he didn't know I believed in him. He sighed. "I wish you believed in me."
I smiled. "I hope you had a good time where ever you were. Well, I think you already know this but, It's Halloween tonight. And I have my first costume." I blushed. And laughed. "I'm going to be the thing that every girl is on her first Halloween. A princess."
That made him laugh. "I can't picture you as a princess." He looked at me. "well… maybe I can." He grinned.
"I would like it if you were my prince." I turned to look at him. I was careful to make sure my eyes were still wondering around and weren't focus on his face. I didn't know what I was doing but I didn't care.
He was taken aback. "Ummm… I guess I could. I know how to make my clothes change, so I guess." I felt a strong wind blow in my face.
"I hope that was a yes." I stood up straight. "Well I have to go inside and finish my dress. Then I have to eat, and get ready. I will see you tonight." I went in and closed the door behind me.
It took all me will power not to squeal with joy.
