Chapter 4: Mr. Kain

"After all, we all know Hide and Seek can be a scary game, especially when we don't want to be found?"

― Callie Hunter

"So... what you're trying to say is., you've actually met a giant." Wisp asked as she walked along a tree branch; the use of Jack's staff kept her balanced.

"Yes. But, technically I didn't because-"

"-You don't want to get associated..." She sighed heavily.

"Hey, last time I got associated with a group of mystical supernaturals, I became a Guardian... And I don't feel up to joining any new groups." He said with a slight chuckle.

"To think you help kids all around the world." She watched the snowflakes slowly falling on the white sheet of untouched snow. "Must be tiring." she said, looking down at the boy who rested against the tree.

"Perhaps," He said with a smile across his face. "But it's a good job to have."

Just then, the doors flew open. Both Jack and Wisp looked towards the school, kids flooding out from the doors. One kid fell flat on his face from all the snow gear he had on. As he pushed up, his face was covered in snow. "Aw, poor kid. Do you think you could help him, Jack?"

He got up and floated over to the kid. "Come on bud."

Wisp smiled to herself as she watched him go.

"Talking to yourself again Wisp?"

She jumped a bit. She then smiled, recognizing who the voice belonged to. "Emily. Don't you know it's bad to scare a ghost?" She giggled as she turned around to see a blonde, blue-eyed girl who wore a lavender knit cap and a dark purple winter coat. She then sighed. "One of these days I'll get you to see him. Why else would there be all this snow?" She said, hopping off the branch. She floated about Emily, her feet barely touching the snow.

"It's all about condensation and.. You know... sciencey-weather stuff." She laughed as she moved behind a bush so that Wisp could not be seen.

"You know, your sciencey-weather stuff won't always be the answer to everything you know." Wisp said. "Where's your little brother? Has he grown?"

"Oh, very much! He's..." Emily thought for a moment. "About at my hip." She gestured with her hand.

"Is he out here?" Wisp said, scouting around as she peeked her head out from the bush.

"No, no. he's at home with a cold. The weather change gets him every time."

She popped her head back out. "Oh, I'll have to give Jack a good yammering to." She smiled.

Emily rolled her eyes. "You and your silly words." She then rubbed her hands together and brought them to her mouth, a puff of warm air escaped through her fingers. "So, did you find me any good books?"

"Oh, yeah. It's in the library." She then looked out towards the large glass-pained windows. From outside, one could see the thousands of books lined up for eager readers. She then looked over to where Jack was playing with the kids. Some of them were able to see him, but most of the older kids could not.

"So this, 'Jack Frost'," Emily used air quotes. Wisp turned to her voice. "Is he nice?"

"The nicest." She answered. "He tells the greatest stories and the funniest jokes."

"Sounds like someone has a crush on a ghost."

"Emily!" Wisp had the biggest smile on her face as she lightly shoved her. "No way. And he's not a-"

"I want all the kids inside. . . Now!"

The laughter was cut short like a knife. Emily and Wisp slowly looked from behind the bush. "What's going on?" asked the ghostly figure. "Who is that?"

"He's new." Emily stated. "His name is Mr. Kain." She ended it with a sigh of dread. "He's a drag..."

"You two! Behind the bush. The rules apply to all students." Yelled the young looking teacher.

"Oh no.." Wisp dropped Jack's staff and looked to Emily. "What am I going to do?" She whispered nervously.

"Just play along." Emily softly said as she came out. "Just, slip away when no one is looking."

The cold snow crunched beneath Wisp's bare feet as she followed Emily. Wisp slung her hood up and pulled on the strings to hide her face. She then looked back to see Jack standing under the tree with his staff in hand, even from a distance, Wisp could see his knuckles turn white.

She turned back around to come face to face with this new teacher. "And you would be?"

"Me? I- uh.. It's Niana." She shyly looked down. There was silence. "N-Niana Willows... Sir..."

She could feel his breath on her. "Why are you in shorts... and have no shoes on?" He picked at her with tormenting questions.

"I-" She froze up. She never met another human besides Emily. This encounter caught her by surprise... not giving herself time to think up a good explanation.

"Niana! We're going to be late for class!" Emily said pulling Wisp's hand.

Wisp was practically drag down in the hallway. She feared looking back just because she could still feel his eyes on her. "This is bad..."

"N-Not entirely." Emily said. The two then turned down a hall way and stood. "It could have been worse." Wisp gave her the look. "Okay... okay, that was pretty bad." She then smiled for reassurance. "Now what?"

Wisp thought for a moment. "Well-" The back corridor doors slammed as footsteps echoed down the hall, growing louder with each second. "Talk after school?" Emily nodded and rushed to her class. Wisp's body then went transparent as she peeked her head down the hall. Sure enough, it was Mr. Kain going into the principle's office. She quietly made her way over.

"She said her name was Niana Willows. Ni-an-a." Mr. Kain's voice projected out through the thin walls.

"I heard you the first time." The old gray-haired man said as he shuffled through a thick stack of papers. "We don't have any records of her." He said as he looked up with his thin glasses. "There are many students here, I remind you Mr. Kain... Maybe her paper's got missed placed." He then paused as he looked at the eager looking man. "I will just continue my search tomorrow morning."

"But Mr. Shiftwell-"

"I have several meetings to attend to." he got up and grabbed a suitcase. "Now, if you excuse me. I'm late for one."

"Y-Yes Sir..." he said going to the open the door for the old man.

"Oh dear..." Wisp said backing up.

The door opened up and the short Mr. Shiftwell came out. Behind him, Mr. Kain stormed out in a fuss and red in the face. As the old man turned, he walked right through the transparent Wisp. He shivered a bit but ignored the feeling. "Darn weather." He muttered.

"Great..." She sighed. "Now I have to become a student..." She said floating into the room.

Emily was waiting for Wisp, her bag slung around her arm and her knit hat snug on her head. "Where is she..?" She asked herself as she looked around.

Little Wisp phased through a wall with a book at hand. "Emily." She whispered.

"Ahh.. there you are." She said taking the book Wisp held out. "This little thing?"

"Hey... It's a good read." She smiled. "Give it a try."

Emily hugged the book. "So, on to the real situation here. . . He saw you. What are you going to do? And Niana?"

Wisp shrugged. "It's all that I could come up with at the time."

Emily scooted closer. "So.. does this mean-"

Wisp held her ID card. "Yup... I might need some new clothes." She said with a shy smile.
