"Hello? You awake?" Something cold was wrapped around Kay's elbow.
"I-I…what?" Her vision was still blurry, but something bright white was blocking her view of the dark night sky.
"Yay! You're awake!" The figure scratched the back of their head. "I thought you were going to go into a deep coma, or pass out for a few days or something, and how was I supposed to return you into your bed with a huge lump on your head? What would your parents think? Geez, I'm such a klutz."
Kay's vision adjusted. "Who are you? Where are we?" She twisted her head around (which caused a lot of pain in her head) and realized that she was on top of a roof, in the middle of the night.
"Well…uh…I wanted to meet you…" He shrugged his shoulders. "Because…um…you're the only person over the age of 10 that actually believes in me…or, really, at all."
"So you're…Jack Frost?" Kay asked.
"Yeah."
"And you put ice on my window?" After he nodded, Kay crawled backwards, startled. "But…b-but…"
"I know…kind of hard to believe, right? Someone that supposedly 'isn't supposed to exist'" Jack made his fingers into quotation marks. "is actually talking to you right now. I know, it doesn't happen often." He gave Kay a small smile and walked over to her. He reached his hand out and touched her forehead, sending a shocking cold pain through her skull. She swatted his hand away. "What? I'm trying to help you."
"Why? I'm perfectly fine." Kay crossed her arms.
"No. You have a huge purple bruise because I kind of…smashed your head into the windowsill." Jack reached his hand out again, but Kay quickly hopped up and ran to the other side of the roof. Jack laughed, but he didn't move. Instead, he gripped a large, wooden stick and moved the cane-like top in a circle above his hand. A perfect, spherical snowball appeared, and he threw it straight at her.
"Ah!" The snowball landed right on the bruise, sending a painful yet soothing feeling through Kay's head. She stumbled backward, and, to her horror, fell off the roof. She didn't hit the ground, though. Instead, she got lifted up into the air by who knows what. Surprised, Kay looked back at Jack, who was pointing the cane right at her, a smirk on his face.
"How did you…?"
"I already told you, I'm Jack Frost." His eyes seemed to light up, glad that Kay might actually be realizing that she was talking to him.
"Okay…I'll believe you…" Kay slowly bent down and scooped up some snow. "If you can catch me!" Laughing, she threw the snowball at Jack, which smashed into pieces on his dark blue jacket.
Kay slid down the roof and jumped onto the balcony, then jumped onto the cold ground. Jack wasn't far behind. He flew over to the park and looked around for the girl, a big smile on his face.
Another snowball hit him in the back of his head. Jack turned around and saw a whirl of brown hair disappear behind a fence. He whipped up a batch of snowballs and kept them all in the crooks of his arms as he slowly tip toed to the edge of the fence. "Got you know!" He shouted playfully, throwing all of the snowballs into the night. He heard a satisfying smash, and then more crunching of the snow. A few seconds later, more snowballs were thrown at him, most of them landing right where they were meant to land.
"Alright." Jack jumped up onto the fence and walked along it, looking for Kay. "Where are you?" Another snowball hit him in the face and he fell backwards. Still smiling, Jack jumped over the fence and saw Kay running the other way. "Not today." He said, forming a large ball of snow and rolling it towards her. A few seconds later he saw Kay trip and fall. He rushed over. "Caught you."
"Fine, you win." Kay said, admitting defeat.
They both started walking back towards her house. "What's that for?" She asked, pointing at the cane.
"It's basically all of my power over snow." Jack said. "I need it to make blizzards and snow. I have little power myself."
"And you made this?" Kay gestured to all of the snow. "In July?"
"Yeah…about that…" Jack ran a hand through his white hair. "It's hard to keep track of what month it is if your over a couple hundred years old."
"True." Kay nodded as they approached her house. "Now if you'll excuse me, I'll be defrosting my toes all night." She giggled.
"Oh! Yeah…I forgot about boots." Jack smiled too, feeling a little embarrassed.
"I guess…hopefully see you tomorrow or something?" Kay looked at him hopefully.
"Yeah. No holidays that I have to help with in July." Jack said.
"You help…santa? Or the easter bunny?" Kay was surprised.
"Yeah." Jack said. He looked at her feet, which were turning blue. "You should probably…uh…get those warmed up." He looked at her. "Once again…sorry about…your head."
"No worries…I can find an excuse. You made it feel better anyways." Kay turned around to go inside, but something made her feel like she had to give him a much bigger thank you. Suddenly, she found herself turning around and wrapping her arms around Jack's shoulders, and giving him a great, big hug. "Thank you." Her muffled voice said.
"Uh…your welcome." Jack's voice sounded surprised.
Giving him a last grateful smile, Kay walked back inside and shut the door.
