Chapter 6: who she really is part 2

(Jack p.o.v.)

We all looked at the crystal shocked to see lily. Bunny was the first to talk, "why the heck is she the new guardian." "Bunny! There is nothing wrong with lily she would make an excellent guardian." Tooth said with a defensive look. I then spoke up, "question is does she want to be one." We all looked at Mother Nature for an answer. She let out a heavy sigh before speaking, "well if I were any of you I would wait a few days before talking to her. With what happened today and asking her to be a guardian that might be pushing it."

North nodded before speaking. "She is right ve vait to zee her and apologize zen ask her." Sandy did thumbs-up and bunny and tooth nodded. I looked at Mother Nature to see her smiling, "well I should be going maybe if I am lucky I will find lily." As she walked out of the room I decided to follow her while the others talked about a plan. I still had some questions for Mother Nature.

I caught up to her as she was about to jump out of a window. Now I see where lily gets it. "Mother N, do you have a minute?" she turned around and smiled, "of course jack, what do you need?" She stepped down from the window. "I have a couple questions to ask you." "Well I think I can answer them, I have time." we started to walk and then I spoke up, "well the first one you don't have to answer if you don't want to, but….how did you fall in love with pitch." She just simply smiled and stared off into space. "Pitch wasn't all bad he was actual nice and sweet before he went…crazy. He love lily like she was his real daughter. And taught her how to see people's true feelings, how to fight and how to…love and not judge." I chuckled at that and then looked at her, "I never thought pitch would be the type of guy to be….nice and love everything." "Well you have to remember that was before he went crazy."

We continued to walk and I asked her another question, "Do you know what lily was like before she became… daughter nature?" "I don't know much but she wasn't much different. She had a big family 2 siblings I think. A father and mother and she use to be more….fun. I also know that her death was sad and…painful." She looked sad, "do you know how she….died." she shook her head, "I am afraid that she has no memories of her past." I looked at her shocked, "you know that tooth has her memories. I could go talk to her and we can give them to lily so that she-." Before I could finish I was interrupted.

"Jack, she already knows, she chooses not to see them. She doesn't want to know who she was just yet." I looked at her confused, "why would she not want to know?" Mother Nature looked off into space again before talking. "I think the reason is she wants to find a reason to know who she was and accept who she is now. Believe that she is something more than Pitch Black and Mother Nature's daughter."

For a second I was shocked by the answer and then I thought about it. Lily seems like she is lost and needs someone to help show her the right path. I took a deep breath before asking my last question. "This is kind of a random question, but who makes the first snow fall. I make all kinds of winter but I never make the first snow fall." She looked at me with confusion and then it faded into a gin. We ended up where we first started walking and she walked over to the window and looked back at me. "I will tell you this, Jack Frost; it is not me, but someone else who loves to see the snow fall."

With that she smiled and jumped out the window, but instead of falling like lily she turned into a snow bird and flew away. Leaving me thinking about my question. 'Who else could make the snow fall' was all I could think. I started to walk back to where the guardians were. I saw that tooth and sandy were gone and bunny was starting to leave as well.

"Well I love to stay and chat mate, but I got things to do." "See you later kangaroo." I said as bunny jumped in his rabbit hole. I heard him grumble something but didn't get much other than 'kill' and 'frostbite'. North then turned to me, "and vat vill you be doing jack?" I thought a little before speaking, "I don't know maybe visit Jamie again before it gets too late." North nodded his head and I went to exit through the window. As I jumped out I heard North yelled bye.

"Wind, take me to Jamie." The wind picked up and I was soaring in the air. I soon got to Jamie's house, it was pretty late and the town had a slight chill. But that was normal fall weather. Man I can't wait for winter then I would be able to visit Jamie more, but for now I can wait.

I sat on the outside of Jamie's window and saw him sitting at his desk scribbling on a piece of paper. I knocked on the window, and a 13 year old boy turned around with I huge smile on his face. Jamie ran over to the window and unlocked it. I stepped into his room and was greeted with a hug. Jamie had slightly grown taller since I meet him, but he is still full of excitement since he was 10.

"Hey kid it's great to see you too but I saw you not too long ago." I said hugging him back. He pulled away and looked up at me with a smile. "I know but I am glad you are back. There is something I got to ask you." "Shoot away kid." I then jumped at the end of his bed and he turned his desk chair around to face me. "Well Sophie has been telling me about this girl who flies in the night turning the leaves different colors. And Sophie said that she plays with her. Do you have any idea who she might be talking about?"

I think for a minute wondering if Sophie is really seeing this or having her 5 year old imagination get to her. Then it dawned on me. "You know I might know someone like that." His eyes lit up for a minute, "really! Who is she, what does she do, and what does she look like?!" he rambled on with questions. "Whoa kid slow down I don't know if it is who I think it is. Could be someone else, but I will find out tonight and report back to you ok?"

Jamie nodded his head and I was gone minutes later. I decided to take a little nap in a tree near my lake. If I was wrong about the person and it was an enemy I would need all the energy I could get.

As I was sleeping I had a dream about my past. I was walking in the woods with my sister and someone else I couldn't make out who, but I knew it was a girl my age. Her and my sister started to run ahead of me. The girl turned around and shouted my name. 'Jack! Come on.' the only thing I saw was her beautiful smile that made my heart melt.

A couple hours later I woke up to leaves flying in the air. I soon started to fly with the leaves enjoying the breeze and soon landed on a power line in the town to see if anyone suspicious was near. I saw nothing. I then decided to patrol Jamie's neighborhood. Then I saw something very suspicious, I saw a figure walking on a roof top. And too make it even more suspicious it looked like sand was flying near the figure and into the house. It wasn't like pitch's sand but it was gray, and it reminded me of sandy's but moved faster.

I jumped on the same roof as the figure and pointed my staff at them. "Who are you and what are you doing." I yelled and they raised their hands up and slowly turned around. I didn't see much of their face only the mouth. They soon opened there mouth to speak. "Jack?" the figure lowered their hands and pulled off the hood. I then knew I was right about who the girl was. "Lily? What are you doing?" she let out a heavy breath before talking. "I'm doing both of my jobs." "Both? You mean you do other things then wonder neighborhoods looking kind of creepy." She rolled her eyes at me and did a fake laugh, "Hahaha very funny jack and yes I do just more than nature work" "which is…" I eyed the gray sand surrounding us.

Lily looked at the sand then to me. She rolled up her right sleeve and stuck out her arm. The sand then wrapped around her arm and disappeared. Before I could really look at her arm she rolled her sleeve down and looked at me. "Do you want to see what else I can do?"

(Lily p.o.v.)

Jack simply nodded his head a began to follow me. I didn't really mind showing him what else I could do. I'm not keeping secrets from anyone and I could trust jack not to judge me for what I do.

We showed up at a house that I usually come to. We both stood outside the window. "Ok now what." I looked at jack and rolled my eyes. I pushed the window slightly and it opened. "That was easier than I thought." Jack said. I turned to jack and held a finger to my mouth 'ssshhhh'. He held his hands up in surrender. "So, what are we doing in a random kid's bedroom?" Jack said in a more whisper voice.

The kid started to stir in his sleep. Jack and I both looked at the kid with concern and jack mumbled the words 'nightmare'. I nodded my head slightly and walked over to the kid's bed. I used my sand to show his dream. He was a knight on a horse battling a dragon, but he wasn't doing much battling more like running. Jack was on the other side of the bed watching me. I put my hand on the kid's forehead and he stopped moving and his breathing slowed down. I then looked at his dream to see the knight turning around pulling his sword out to slay the dragon.

I smiled and walked to the window and turned to jack to see him still watching the little boy's dream. "You coming frost." I said as I was half way out the window. He looked at me then back at the kid and sprinted to the window. I flew to the top of the roof waiting for him. He came up looking at me with surprised.

"That was pretty cool what you did there. What was that?" I looked at him then in front of me and started to walk on the roof. "Well you know how pitch gives kids nightmares." He looked at me before speaking, "yeah." We stopped walking when we got at the end of the roof and I turned to him. I rolled up my sleeve to show him my inner arm. On my arm are gray vines that lead to the bend of my elbow. The gray vines spelt out one word 'imagination'. Jack was staring down at my arm until I spoke up. "Pitch may create the nightmares, but I help kids concur them."

A blank stare was all I got from jack. I decided to leave the roof and fly up in the air, jack following close behind. "Hey where were you when we were battling pitch 3 years ago. We could have used your help." I grin and looked at him, "doing what I do best, hiding and avoiding others."

Jack flew in front of making me stop. "That's kind of lonely, isn't it?" I rolled my eyes at jack a grinned, "who said I was alone."

(jack p.o.v.)

I didn't really know what she meant by that but I felt like I was going to find out as I followed her. We arrived at Jamie's house. "So you do play with Sophie." She spun around and looked at me with surprise, "how did you know I play with Sophie?" I chuckled at her response, "Sophie has an older brother that I play with. He kind of told me how his little sister is always talking about this girl and how she can change the leaves and plays with her."

I saw her stare at the ground and hold her arm, "she said that." I then saw something that made my heart stop, lily smiled. Like a real smile! She looked really cute and I couldn't help to stare at her.

She then looked up and I could feel my face grow warm but it quickly left. She chuckled a little then turned. "Where you going?" she turned back to me, "I got to go before my mum sends a search party to look for me." "You going to come back anytime soon?" "Yeah, tomorrow I still have a job to do." I smiled, "then see you tomorrow." She nodded and started to run off the roof before she got to the edge she shouted 'wind, take me home!' and with that she was flying full speed in the air. One word came to my mind 'wow'.


that is it hope it was good. tell me what you think. PEACE OUT! ^.-
