Life With Jack Frost
Chapter 21:
While looking at the photos of your childhood with you parents in your room, the young guardian knocked and entered your room. He saw you grinning at the photos as you flipped the pages from one to the other. Jack sat beside you and put his arm around your shoulders and stared at your smiling, yet somehow lonely, face.
"I thought you want to be with me?" Jack asked cordially after he kissed your cheek. You held his hands and used the other one to turn the page.
"I want to Jack…" you said with a low voice and laughed when you saw a funny picture from your album. "I'm just worried about my parents." You added. "I can't think about what they'll feel if I just disappeared." You closed the photo album and rest it on the bed. Glancing at the young guardian, you saw him took out a small red bag and noticed it.
"Here, just hold on to this." He said as he put the bag in the palm of your hand.
"Jack…" you said sweetly and he abruptly glimpsed at you, "I know that the time will come when I have to choose. I already decided when you came to me cause I know that you're an immortal and I'm a human." You said serenely while holding the young guardian's pale frigid hands, "I told myself that if I will have a chance… I will absolutely choose you…"
The winter spirit smiled brightly and gave you a hugged as he brushed his fingers through your (length/color) hair.
"I just didn't think that that day will come this early…." You said and stared at the winter spirit. "Can you give me more time?" you said with a grin and the young guardian touched your sweet, soft face while giving you a nod.
"What about you?" you asked, "did you choose to be an immortal?"
Jack widened his eyes and looked down thinking about his human life. Noticing that the young guardian got hurt, you touched his face and brushed his hair.
"I'm… I'm so sorry…" you apologize thoughtfully and kissed the winter spirit's forehead. Still not talking, the young guardian gave you a smile, "Honestly… I don't remember anything from my human life… nothing at all." He explained. "It's like I'm just appeared in this world. I have no one back then, just myself."
You hugged the young guardian and whispered in his ear, "You have someone now…."
"You're the only thing that I got right now…" he replied and kissed your forehead. "and I will give anything for you."
Your lips curledinto a sweet grin and gave the young guardian a soft, warm quick kiss. When your lips parted, the young guardian kissed your hands and fondled them.
Both of you went downstairs and North noticed that you're holding the small red bag that he gave to the young guardian. You walked to the leader and asked him to give you more time before accepting his offer. North agreed and let you keep the gloves just to be sure.
The Tooth fairy looked away with her arms crossed when you glanced at her. You got confused and corned about Tooth, wondering why she's so… angry with you.
You noticed that the Easter Bunny was looking in your fridge hoping to find any fresh carrots.
"Try the crisper drawer Bunnymund." You said with a grin and he found what he's been looking for.
"Thanks mate!" He said cheerfully and took a bite of his vegie. The Sandman had been jumping on the pillow and it's obvious that this was the first time he saw a cuddly, soft, fluffy pillow.
You giggled as he plumped the pillow and hugged it. "You can keep it." you said and he gave you thumbs up and continued hugging the pillow.
North was looking through the cabinets, searching for cookies. You noticed that there's a chips ahoy wrapper in the bin. You shook your head with a laugh and opened a cabinet and showed the man in the red suit your dozens of cookies.
"You want a candy cane with that?" You asked and gave North a box of candy canes. The young guardian laughed and hugged you from behind.
"This is very weird…." You murmured and the winter spirit kissed your head. "The guardians are actually in my house." You added.
Suddenly, the clock rang and all of the guardians looked at each other. "I think that's our cue mate." Bunnymund said to North. They all nodded except for the young guardian who's going to stay to keep you company.
"By the way…" you said as you looked around, "where's the sleigh?" you asked curiously thinking how'd North 'parked' his wicked, enchanted vehicle.
"Oh, the sleigh is outside." North said while chewing.
You jaw dropped and hurriedly peeked through the window and saw a bunch of people looking and assessing Santa's sleigh. You looked at the leader with your bug like eyes as you point his magical vehicle.
"Brilliant North!" Jack said furiously. He also looked through the window and saw children riding in it. "Now what?" he asked with his arms crossed.
"Just… tell them that it's your car or something." Bunnymund suggested.
"Oh right, clever Easter Kangaboo!" Jack exclaimed, "Juts tell the folks that it's your freak'n car with eight flying reindeers in front!" he added.
The Easter Bunny got mad at the young guardian and walked towards to confront the winter spirit.
"What did you just call me?" Bunnymund asked furiously.
Jack faked a laugh and clutched his staff firmly, "Kangranny!" He yelled. The other guardians laughed and stopped when the pissed off Easter Bunny looked at them. You stood between the two guardians and tried to calm both of them down.
"Both of you stop it." You said softly but they were still fighting. You covered your sorrowful ears and yelled. "SHUT THE HELL UP!" and they all froze.
"Alright…." You said and breathed deeply, "I have a plan…"
All of the guardians were listening as you explained the plan. "So, Jack… you have to make a light blizzard for them to go back to their homes. If there's no one left try to make it a bit stronger than the first." YOu explained casually while they were all nodding.
"So when Jack created a strong blizzard, that's your cue North." You added.
They all stood and waited. The young guardian stood in the middle of the street and made a light blizzard. The people pulled their jackets closer to them and started to walk away. After a few minutes, there was no one left and the winter spirit made a stronger blizzard to avoid someone to see North and the others leave.
"That's our cue!" North exclaimed cheerfully and they all jumped in the sleigh. "Thanks child!" He shouted before leaving. You waved goodbye and the winter spirit stopped the blizzard and went back in your house with you.
"You are a clever girl…" He said and planted a kiss on your forehead.
"Oh why thank you very much!" you said cheerfully with a Londoner accent. The young guardian laughed and kissed your cold cheeks.
"So… what are you going to do? Christmas Spirit?" Jack asked with a grin. You glared and pushed the young guardian and went to the living room. While opening the little red bag on the center table, Jack hugged you from behind as he kissed your head.
"I don't really know…" you whispered, "Just give me a couple of days or weeks to think about it…."
