Jack blinked a few times as he woke up. As he sat up he found himself in a bedroom.

The walls were painted a light blue and appeared to have snowflakes drifting down. He had a large window with a ledge, wide enough for him to sit in if he wished, that looked over Kellina's little paradise.

Looking around the room Jack noticed the wardrobe in the corner. It was a darker shade of blue but still seemed to keep the room bright and cheery. Looking down Jack found himself in the center of King size bed. The sheets matched the walls being light blue and a snowflake pattern.

Quickly climbing out of the bed Jack noticed he was no longer wearing his hoodie or trousers. Instead he was now wearing a white vest top and brown shorts. Looking around the room again Jack noticed a chair against the wall with his missing clothing folded on.

Next to the chair, against the wall, stood his staff. Looking at the staff then looking back to his hand Jack realised how safe and comfortable he felt here. For the first time he hadn't panicked when his staff wasn't within easy each. Shaking his head, Jack made his way over to the chair and started getting changed.

Before leaving the bedroom Jack decided to take a quick glance out of the window. Looking through the glass Jack and full view of the fields, wood and lake. Animals happily ran between the different terrains, some were sleeping whist others looked to be foraging.

Jack grabbed his staff and exited through the door. As he closed it behind him he noticed his name and a cluster of snowflakes decorated it. Smiling Jack headed down the small corridor, past two other doors and through another door. Jack decide it was best not to read the names on the other doors, just in case whomever was inside took offense.

Quick glance around Jack found himself back in the main kitchen and lounge area of the cottage. Music from the kitchen quickly told Jack where he could find his host. Trying to stop a smile that could match a cheshire cat from forming, Jack happily walked over to bid her good morning.

As he entered he quickly spotted her standing by one of the counters, singing along to a song. Today she seemed to have decided on a more modern look again. Black leggings and blue jean shorts with a black 'puffy' top. Once again her shoulders are bare but with short sleeves that reach her elbows. The thin material resting on her chest and staying loose before being pulled in by elastic around her waist and elbows.

"Morning Kellina!"

Jack couldn't stop a small chuckle as Kellina jumps and twists towards him. After she recovers from the shock a small playful smile brightens her face.

"Morning Jack. Can I assume your bedroom was ok? You seem to be very happy today."

Jack simply smiles back. He knew his eyes were twinkling and he knew she could see it. Kellina simply smiles back before turning around again. Jack decided to find another conversation starter.

"So what's the plan for today?"

Kellina answered without turning around again.

"Well that depends on you."

"Me?"

"Yep. What would YOU like to do today Jack?"

As she asked the question Kellina turned back towards Jack with two plates in hand.

"Fruit salad. I hope you don't mind."

Jack smiled. He quickly picked up a fork, stabbed a piece of melon and popped it into his mouth. Chewing and swallowing Jack replied.

"Don't worry about. Animals right?"

Kellina nods, having a mouthful of fruit.

"Yeah thought so. I'm also a veggie. I can't eat the only ones who kept me company for 300 years."

Jack quickly flashed a smile which was returned.

"Hmmm, so what to do today? What do I feel like doing?"

Jack sat for a few moments thinking and eating. Although neither of them needed to eat it was nice to have time to be with others without jobs, duties or other things getting in the way. Also Jack liked to remember how food taste sometimes.

"How about some winter fun?"

Jack's ice blue eyes sparkle. Kellina couldn't stop the smile from claiming her lips the spark in her amber eyes almost putting Jack's to shame. Almost.

"I wouldn't have accepted any other answer Jack Frost Winter Spirit Guardian of Fun."

Jack gave a small laugh as he turned back to eating. Soon the two spirits had finished and the spirit of care took both plates and quickly cleaned up. Jack continued to sit playing with a few snowflakes between his fingers. Once Kellina was finished Jack jumped up and the two headed towards the sanctuary.

Once outside Kellina turned to Jack once again.

"So what kind of winter fun do you think we should start with?"

Jack pretended to think for a moment.

"How about ice skating?"

Kellina nodded.

"Sure let's go."

Jack seemed confused.

"Go? Go where?"

Kellina laughed.

"To the lake of course. Where else would we go?"

"Wait! You're going to let me freeze the lake just so we can ice skate?"

"Well yeah. That's the idea."

A smile spread over Jacks face.

"Seriously?"

Kellina turned back towards a now floating Jack, hands on her hips.

"Yes Jack seriously! Now let's go before we become statues. Last one there is an ice sculpture."

With that Kellina turned and began running towards the lake.

"Hey! That's not fair! You didn't give me proper warning."

Jack soon followed using the North wind to carry him instead of running. Soon he was flying next to the spirit.

"Is that all you got Kellina?"

Jack couldn't help but tease. For the first time there was someone who wanted to have fun with him. HIS sort of fun. He had found his first friend.

Jack watched as Kellina shot a smile right back at him before she morphed. Jack slowed as he watched her change. Ears popped up on the top of head, a tail sprouted at the end of her spine. Her face elongated and her legs shortened until she fell forward running on all fours. It took seconds before Jack was looking at a brown wolf instead of a girl.

Jack caught a glint in the amber eyes before the wolf pushed forward with a sudden burst of speed. Reacting as quickly as possible Jack pulled his arms to his sides also propelling himself forward. Soon the two spirits were neck and neck.

Jack's laughter filled the air as the two reached the lake. Both just managed to stop before crashing into the lake. The winter spirit quickly dropped to the floor with laughter. Kellina, still not having changed from her wolf form, howled before joining Jack on the ground panting.

Jack watched once again as Kellina changed back to her human form. Like before the transformation only took seconds.

"So Jack. I'm guessing you're the ice sculpture then."

"Ha! I do believe that would be in fact you. You were a whole 2 seconds behind me and you know it."

Kellina lightly smacked Jack's shoulder.

"There was no way I was 2 seconds behind you. YOU were the one behind ME."

"Nuh uh."

"Uh huh."

"Nuh uh."

"Uh huh."

"NUH UH!"

"UH HUH!"

"…"

"…"

Catching themselves the two spirits burst into laughter once again. Kellina was the first to sit up.

"So are you going to freeze the lake or not? Or don't you want to ice skate anymore? To tired?"

Jack could hear the challenge in her voice. He quickly jumped onto his feet.

"Me, tired never! Just you wait the lake will be frozen in seconds."

With that Jack quickly walked over to the lake. Once he got to the water's edge he kept walking. With each step more of the water's surface froze. It really did take second for the lake to freeze over.

Kellina had also stood up simply clapped her hands.

"Very good Jack. You truly are a master of your element."

Jack simply walked back towards Kellina and held his hand out.

"Yeah, yeah. Now are you coming or not?"

With a smile Kellina took Jack's hand and walked onto the ice. Jack decided to use the opportunity to push and pull Kellina across the ice. The spirit of care couldn't hold back a squeak of surprise. That did nothing but widen the grin that had captured Jack's face.

After a few minutes a small shadow glided over the ice and began circling. Kellina was the first to notice.

"Wait, wait."

Jack paused for a moment confused. Seconds after Jack released Kellina's hands a pair of ice skates landed. Kellina grinned and quickly started putting them on. Jack on the other hand looked up to see and eagle flying above them before heading back towards the rocky outcrop.

"What just happened?"

Kellina stood up once again.

"Oh nothing much. On our way here I realised unlike a certain winter spirit I might need ice skates. The eagle simply offered to fetch a pair for me which I am grateful for. Although it meant I couldn't run at full speed whilst telling him were he would find them."

"Wait are you telling me whilst we raced you talked to an eagle. Not only that but you weren't even running at full speed?"

Kellina simply shrugged.

"Yeah."

Jack sent a quick scowl before replacing it with a smile once again.

"Fine! But, you have to race me back to the cottage later at full speed. No slowing down for anything."

Kellina smiled accepting the challenge.

"Fine. Now shall we skate."

With that she took of across the ice. Jack was shocked. No longer was Kellina struggling or looking like she had never stepped on the ice before. Now she looked like a professional ice skater, as much at home on the ice as she was on the land.

Jack smiled. Well wasn't she just full of surprises.

Jack soon started to ice skate next to her, coping her movements.

"So, can I ask a question?"

Kellina giggled.

"Of course. Though you did just ask one."

"Ha ha very funny, my names Bugs Bunny."

"What and here a thought it was Jack Frost."

The two spirits swapped grins again.

"No seriously. How long may I stay here with you?"

Kellina stopped skating suddenly. Jack skated a few feet away before returning to her side.

"Now why would you ask that?"

Jack looked down.

"Well you see. I was hoping I could stay for another night."

Looking up Jack saw Kellina smiling.

"Of course you can stay another night Jack. In all honesty you can stay as long as you like."

"REALLY! I can?"

"Of course you can."

Jack looked down once again.

"What if I said I wanted to stay here permanently?"

Kellina placed two fingers on Jack's chin to make him look up.

"That is perfectly fine Jack. Besides there is another spirit who lives here permanently."

"Another spirit."

"Yep though he prefers the past sanctuary over this one."

"Other sanctuary?"

"Yeah, but I will tell you about it later. We need to head back to the cottage."

"How come?"

"We have company. Besides you wanted to meet other spirits right? Let's go."

Once again Kellina dashes off, becoming a wolf as she reaches the edge of the water. Jack soon follows being carried by the wind. Laughter fills the air.

Hey guys. Thank you for reading.

If you want to listen to the song Kellina was listening to look up 'Nightcore Running with the wolves'

I was wondering would you guys like there to be a romance between Kellina and Jack or for them just to stay as friends?

Also are there any spirits you would like Jack to interact with? If so who are they, what are they the spirit of?
