CHAPTER 10

Jack knew Mother Nature very well and if she did not want to be caught by Jack, then there was no way in hell that he could get close enough to her to talk to her. He had to do something to make her come to him whatever the reason may be.

Two weeks had passed since the incident in front of Jack's house and he was constantly working on the plan he, North, Sandy and Bunnymund came up with. It wasn't much of a plan and it wasn't guaranteed to be successful but at least it would give Jack the chance to see her again and try to make things right.

Everyday Jack would go around flying all over the world causing snowstorms at places where it doesn't usually snow. The schools in Sacramento, Los Angeles and Santa Cruz cancelled classes because there was a heavy snowfall. For the first time in ages there were snow days! Although the kids very happy and pleased with no school, Mother Nature was upset that this sudden snowstorm came abruptly and it confused many citizens and weather forecasters.

Just when she would get things back on track and back to normal, another snowstorm would hit and once again there were would be more snow days. Of course she knew who the culprit was, there was only one boy who would be so reckless as to make it snow in places such as Sacramento. As much as she didn't want to, Nature knew that she would have to go to him at some point to make him stop doing such irresponsible things

Finally, he broke the last straw and Mother Nature took off in full speed to where she knew he would be. Before she took flight her whole body was in flames and her eyes were glowing with anger. After some very short minutes, she landed right behind Jack who was kneeling by a frozen pond that was near his house.

"SERIOUSLY?! JACK FROST, I didn't think that even you could be this stupid! What were you thinking?!"

Jack stood up and turned around smiling stupidly knowing exactly the reason why she was all mad "What are you talking about?" he continued smiling.

"Jack, you made it snow...IN THE SAHARA DESERT! Who does that?! How could you be so irresponsible?! Look you wanted my attention and now you have it, what do you want?!"

Suddenly his face grew serious and his goofy smile left his face.

"Why did you run away?"

Nature's eyes got wide, she should've known this was a trap. He planned this all out, knowing that she would come to him when she had enough of his pranks.

"I don't know what you're talking about." She gritted her teeth, turned around and started walking away.

But there was no way that Jack was going to let her leave again. Oh no, she was going to tell him everything and one way or another this matter would be settled, whether it ended with him having a girlfriend or not.

In three quick strides Jack reached Nature and slammed his hand on the tree that was right in front of her. His sudden action made her jump a little and she whipped around to face him.

He looked her in the eyes and she could tell that he was hurt when she left. His eyes showed the pain he felt when she flew away from him that night and they showed pain that was just caused when she tried to walk away from him.

"You know exactly what I'm talking about. Talk to me Nature! I thought you felt the same way I did, things were going great, what happened?!"

"Jack…I…I just don't want to talk about it okay? Can't we go on being friends?

"No we can't. I want you to talk to me! I'm not letting you leave until you tell me everything!"

"UGH! Jack I'm cursed okay?! Happy now?!"

Nature was being completely serious and her jaw was clenched indicating that she was telling the truth. All of a sudden Jack started cracking up. He was laughing so hard that tears were forming in his eyes. He had to turn around so he could try to stop laughing and catch his breath.

"Why are you laughing?! What the hell?! I tell you I'm cursed and you laugh?!"

After another minute of Jack continuously laughing out loud he finally was able to catch his breath.

"Nature, there are no such things as curses. They don't exist. Curses are like myths, some people believe in them but in the end they are nonexistent things"

*sigh* "You want to know why I ran away that night? Fine, but you can't laugh!"

Jack was unsure of what to think but he smiled nonetheless, afterall she was going to talk to him and tell him what he needed to know. "I promise not to laugh."

"It all started freshman year…"
