Four Seasons

"You ready to go?" Alex asked me with a smile

"I think so" I replied

"Good. Let's go, c'mon Rose you can't stay here"

Rose had been afraid of heights before she had died, and although she come back to life some of that fear hadn't left her.

"Are you sure I have to come?" She said nervously

"Yes" Alex sighed "for the thousandth time, it's a meeting for all the seasons, we do this every New Year"

"How come Jack has come to one then?" I butted in

"Like Rose told you, he likes being on his own, he's only come this time because I managed to find him and tell him we had found Autumn"

"You mean that in three hundred years you've only managed to find him once?"

"Hey, winter can be unpredictable, especially when it's Jack"

"Is he really that bad?"

"Nah, I guess that he's ok once you get to know him, the only problem is that it would take more then one lifetime with him to get closer then slight friends. Well we better be going. Come on Rose!" and with that he grabbed her wrist and took off into the dimming sky, ignoring her yells of protest.

I laughed and followed them into the dark clouds.

The moon was up when we got to the place Jack and Alex had arranged to meet up, but there was no one there, just a whole lot of snow.

I was just in the middle of thinking that it had been kind of pointless coming if he wasn't even here, when my thoughts were interrupted by Rose.

"There he is" she told us. I looked up at the sky to see a human figure coming down from the clouds.

As he got closer I could see that he had white hair, he was wearing a blue hoodie, and brown skinny trousers, with bare feet, he was also carrying a staff of some sort, kind of like a shepherds crook, I was sure I had seen a staff like that before.

As he landed the temperature dropped and a pool of water from a patch of melting snow, round Alex's feet, immediately froze.

"Alex! Rose long time no see"

My heart almost stopped. I knew that voice.

"Sooo, you said there was someone you wanted me to meet?"

"Yep" I heard Alex say "Jack, meet Eve Hazel. Eve, Jack Frost"

I looked up into the now blue eyes of Jackson Overland.

"Jackson?!" I said in disbelief,

"What?" he replied equally confused,

"Doesn't he remember?" I muttered to myself.

"Do I know you? I swear I've seen you before"

"Oh I don't think so" Rose put in, trying, and failing, to make it less awkward "you two have never met"

"Ok then" Jack said, but he didn't look convinced.

After awhile we started talking about our past life and how we died, the first thing we remembered when we woke up, stuff like that.

Yeah I know what you're thinking, it's a bit of an odd subject to talk about, but it really helps to get to know each other.

I already knew about Alex and Rose, but I was curious to know what Jack remembered.

Rose had been a girl in a really rich family, she had been kidnapped and managed to escape, but she had gotten lost and mistaking them for blueberries, ate inkberries, she was the second one of us.

Alex had been first. He had gone on a huge sailing ship and fallen off, he would've survived if a riptide hadn't taken him out.

Jack had been silent all the way through their stories. I turned to him "What about you Jackso- Jack?"

"I didn't have a life before. The first thing I remember is breaking through the ice on the lake"

"What lake?" I said, a shiver running up my spine, despite the fact I was wearing a scarf and woollen jumper,

"The huge one in Burgess"

I stood up with tears in my eyes "I've got to go. Sorry" I choked back a sob, summoned the winds and told them to take me to the lake we had just been talking about.

"How can he not remember? I sobbed "this is your fault" I glared at the moon "how could you do this to me? First, you take Jackson. And that was bad enough. Second you take me. And third, all of a sudden Jackson is Jack, and doesn't even have any of his memories" after yelling at the moon for a while I started to calm down. And thought that maybe if I told Jack about his past he'd remember at least something.

By the time I had fully calmed down and gone back where I had left them Jack had gone.

"Where did he go?" I asked Rose

"Well when you left he kinda looked upset and took off, Alex went to look for you and I went after Jack, but I lost him"

Just then Alex came running through the trees "I looked everywhere sh- Where did you go?"

"No time to explain" I turned back to Rose "which way did he go?"

"Um, towards Burgess I think. Why?"

"Doesn't matter. Thanks. Bye" and with that I left them on the ground looking extremely confused.

I had to get to Jack and explain everything. As I landed in Burgess I could see that Jack had been here, there was a man picking up his groceries, a frozen water fountain that looked like it had been frozen while someone was using it.

"I'm never going to find him from down here" I mumbled to myself.

I got the wind to take me up into the sky and looked down onto my hometown, I cold see that Sandman had already been here, leaving traces of golden sand everywhere. I saw something out of the corner of my eye, there he was, I started to follow him, but I stopped midair as I saw something emerge from the shadows.

My heart skipped a beat as I thought that it was Pitch Black, until I saw the ears.

I calmed down as I realized that it was in fact the Easter Bunny.

Him and Jack seemed to be talking, until something, or something's came up behind Jack, and faster then you can you blink, they had grabbed him by the scruff of the neck, shoved him in a sack and tossed him through a portal of some kind, the Easter Bunny had already gone. All that was left was my scream.

That no one but me could hear.
