Chapter 8

Lightning flashed through the sky and thunder roared, Zachary Bolt has made his appearance. Jack looked to see if the noise had woken up Nature, when he looked at her she was still soundly sleeping. I still don't get how she can sleep through so much! Jeez she slept when being put in a sack and tossed through a magic portal and now she's sleeping through thunder and lightning!

But now was no time to think about such things, Jack had a plan to stick to and that includes pretending to be asleep.

Zach landed in front of Jack's house and was confused "This isn't her house…where is this place? Why would she be at a place like this?"

He wandered through the house looking in different rooms when he noticed that the door leading one of the rooms at the end of the hall was cracked open. He walked towards the door and he opened it a little more, just enough so he could peer his head in, the first thing he saw was the edge of a bed, his first thought was HAH! I found the bedroom, she must be sleeping here!

When he opened the door all the way and walked in, what he saw utterly and completely shocked him. Nature was snuggled into some guy's chest and the guy's arm was wrapped around her as if pulling her closer to him!

"WHA-"

Jack's eyes snapped open and he sent a large and very powerful ice beam at Zach, causing him to fly right out of the opened window.

Reasons for Opened Window

Jack knew what the plan was all along and he knew that once Zach walked in and was surprised, Jack would fire an ice beam at him in the direction of the window. For one if the window was closed, Zach would crash through it causing a huge mess but the most important reason is that if Zach were to crash through the window it would make an extremely loud noise thus most likely resulting in Nature waking up…though she tended to sleep through very loud situations so maybe she wouldn't wake up…well better to be safe than sorry

Back to Story

When Zach flew out of the opened window, Jack immediately went right after him and landed swiftly on his feet. Zachary immediately stood back up and yelled at Jack

"Who are you?!"

"Who am I? Shouldn't I be asking YOU that? I mean, you were the one who broke into my house afterall."

"What is Mother Nature doing here, with you?!"

*Nature stirred in her sleep. Something didn't feel right. She woke up and saw that Jack wasn't next to her and that he was gone. She was about to go look for him when she heard voices outside the window. Nature got up, walked to the window and gasped at what she saw. There outside stood Jack and Zach facing each other.

"Who, Nature? Why wouldn't she be here? I mean she IS my girlfriend and everything"

…did he just say that I'm his girlfriend?!What the hell is he thinking! I am SO going to kill this guy!

Zach's eyes widened in surprise at what he just heard and he became very enraged at the thought of Nature being this guy's girlfriend

"What! There is no way in hell that she is your girlfriend! Besides, who the hell are you?"

"Why wouldn't she be? You saw yourself, we were sleeping in the same bed and I'm Jack Frost" and he made his famous smirk

"This…can't be happening..I don't …I don't believe it…"

That's when Nature got an idea. She took off downstairs and opened the front door. Jack seemed to be pretty good at acting but so was she and now was her time to help Jack who was only trying to help her.

"Jack…"

Both boys turned to look at the sleepy girl who stood in the doorframe. She walked towards Jack, grabbed his arm and buried her face in his shoulder.

Jack turned to the side so he hid both of their faces from Zach.

"Nature what are you doing?!"

"I'm here to help, I will act like your girlfriend, just say that I'm like sleepwalking and whenever you get out of bed I wake up and go look for you."

"Got it, but be prepared to act like my girlfriend, we need to convince him!"

"Please don't treat me like a child! I am completely capable of acting as your girlfriend"

Zach was getting mad at how Nature just walked to Jack right off the bat.

"What is going on here?!"

"Oh, sorry!" Jack continued "She has a habit of sleepwalking to go look for me if I get out of bed, like one time North came over to borrow some ice cubes so I got out of bed and I guess she noticed, got up and went to look for me. But she's sleepwalking. Isn't that adorable?" and he grinned as if showing off his girlfriend made him extremely happy.

"I still don't believe that she is your girlfriend!"

"Yeah, yeah I know but hold on, let me go put Snowflake back in bed and then we can continue this."

Jack picked Nature up and was carrying her like a princess when a lightbulb flashed in his head and he got a very, very good idea. He smirked as he looked at Zach, "Hey want me to prove to you that she's my girlfriend? Well, whether asleep or not, there is no way that Nature would let me kiss her if she didn't love me"

"Yeah that's very true. Dude, there is no way in hell that she would let you kiss her."

"See? So if I kiss her and she doesn't reject or push me away, well that would prove it to you, right?"

"Wait.. what?!"

Jack didn't even wait to answer Zach's question, he immediately leaned down and put his lips on Nature's. Her eyes opened out of shock, Jack opened his eyes as well silently telling her that she needs to pretend and act like this is normal. Receiving the hint, she closed her eyes as did he.

It felt…so right. Jack ended up deepening the kiss by pulling her closer to him and she responded by kissing him back and putting her arms around his neck.

Zach could not believe what his eyes were seeing…

His knees grew weak and he was slowly backing away as if trying to escape from a nightmare. Jack took this opportunity and sent another ice beam at him, sending him flying into a tree.

Zachary was utterly shocked and he was defeated. He turned to Jack (who was still kissing Nature…)

He yelled "This isn't over! I will get Mother Nature one day, mark my words!" and with that, Zachary Bolt took off and flew back towards his home in the sky.

Nature broke away from the kiss and looked at where Zach was standing, "Oh thank God he left! He's gone! He's really gone, thank you so much Ja -"

Her lips were captured once again by Jack's. He continued to kiss her and kiss her more.

"Jack, he's gone you know!"

He smirked "Yeah I know"

And for the third time that night he kissed her…. Although Nature wanted to protest and tell him to stop, she couldn't. She couldn't explain it, it just felt so right.
