Here we go. I think the introduction of characters is nearly done. Let's see who can guess this new character's name. (it's not mentioned once so it'll be interesting)

ENJOY! XD

The students were sitting underground, waiting for the okay to re-enter the sunlight. Several mumbled amongst themselves, trying to figure out what was going on. In one corner, Jack sat among his new acquaintances and the ones he had just learned about a few hours earlier.

"Enjoying your second day?" Tuff asked Jack in a bored and annoyed voice.

"Um..yeah," Jack answered to teen who sat back, leaning on his hands.

"We were having a good day too until we had to be cooped up in here," Ruff interjected.

"It is a bit of a bummer," Jack agreed. "I was enjoying practicing with my powers."

"He was doing really well," Rapunzel informed. She beamed excitedly at how well Jack was doing.

"Did you beat Merida?" Fishlegs asked interested. His eyes went wide and he nodded his head excitedly.

"As if," Merida huffed as she crossed her arms over her chest. "No one is ever going to beat me."

"Merida," Astrid smiled as she cocked an eyebrow. "Everyone has to lose once."

"I'll never let my record be broken."

"You haven't hit Pascel yet," Astrid pointed out.

Jack turned to Merida with a cocked eyebrow. "I thought you said you were invincible."

"You called?" Pascel asked as he appeared right next to Rapunzel.

Rapunzel jumped almost two feet into the air. "Pascel!" Rapunzel held her heart as if it would help slow it down. "You scared me."

"Sorry. But I heard my name."

"Isn't true that Merida never touched you in her arrow exercise?" Astrid asked.

"It's true," Pascel nodded. "And you never will!" Pascel disappeared and ran off because Merida was reaching for her arrows.

"Darn!"Merida snapped. "I was going to get him."

Jack giggled. "So you're not as all powerful as I thought."

"Do you want to test me?" Merida threatened.

"No," Jack shook his head. "But I do want to know of your background a bit. I've heard Rapunzel's but not yours."

Merida lowered her fists and relaxed. "There's not much to tell. It's kind of cut and dry. My mum is Lady Elinor. She works as the Language teacher here. She teaches almost every language but mostly English. She's a mutant so I'm a mutant. End of story."

"How about you guys?" Jack turned to the other teens.

"We're all from Berk," Snotlout said proudly, puffing out his chest.

"Berk?"

"That's the furthest town from here," Rapunzel informed.

"It's pretty far north," Astird nodded. "Kind of secluded. Not a lot of people know of it."

"It's an island!" Tuff exclaimed making Jack jump.

"And no one is allowed on it unless we say so," Ruff added as she high fived her brother.

"Yeah," Fishlegs rolled his eyes. "You have no power over that."

"I am an excellent and every famous athlete there," Snotlout continued as if he hadn't heard the conversation. "My parents got a letter but wanted me to go to a more athletic school. North came to the house and convinced them that they are very athletic and now I'm here," Snotlout smiled. "Oh! And I'm a great lady's man."

Astrid rolled her eyes. "Maybe in your dreams."

"We're pretty much the same story," the twins said at once. "Got a letter, parents didn't want us to go, North came. Blah, blah, blah."

Jack turned to Rapunzel a bit scared. "That was some weird synchronization."

"They do it a lot," Rapunzel whispered back.

"I got the letter but my parents were ecstatic," Astrid informed.

"I was like Astrid," Fishlegs nodded.

"Wow," Jack said. "Did you all know each other in Berk?"

"No," they all said.

"Thank heavens," Astrid sighed.

"What's that suppose to mean?" Tuff asked.

"It means that she was lucky not to know a freak like you," Ruff punched Tuff. The two then began to brawl in the small room. Eventually, they kicked Snotlout and got him involved in the fight as well. Fishlegs followed trying the separate them.

"Those three like to fight," Jack observed.

"You have no idea," Astrid held the bridge of her nose.

The doors across the room opened and Bunny stood on his hind legs as he hopped into the room. "The coast is clear. You all can go back to your normal routine."

"Yes!" the twins pumped their fists.

"Time to wreak havoc!" Tuff grinned.

"Let's go!" Ruff laughed as they ran out of the room.

"Are they really going to do something stupid?' Jack asked Snotlout.

"Oh yeah," he nodded.

She looked at the seven year old shaking in fear. She wanted to smile and feel pride that the girl was getting what was coming to her but deep inside, she couldn't bring herself to do that. She was just a child, an innocent person who was thrust into this feud, this battle between her kind and the humans.

No! She scolded herself. She will grow up to be like them. To hate us and torture us and use us. She may be innocent now but in the future…

Even though she tried to ration out why she should feel glee towards the child's fear and suffering, she just couldn't do it. But something else washed over her as she continued to watch and think about the ice boy's sister.

Emma, as she recalled, had been outside. She had been free to walk in the sun. Free to be among the people without fear of being run out of town. She had a family. A brother. Someone in the outside world who loved her and she envied the girl for that.

She longed to leave the walls of the underground cave. Longed to feel the sun on her skin. Too leave the darkness and fear that saturated the atmosphere. This was her home, her friends, and she wanted to leave. She shook her head once again to dismiss such thoughts.

He saved me. He saved me from those horrible humans. Saved me from being tested on, from being beaten, from being killed by those humans. Humans are evil and they need to pay for what they did. He deserves to be avenged as does everyone else of my kind. The humans must pay for our suffering.

She repeatedly thought that but as she watched Emma, she couldn't bring herself to completely hate the girl. She was so young and already so full of traumatic experiences. Does that makes us no better than the humans? She narrowed her eyes to strengthen her belief. No. It does. They do it to us. They should know how we feel as well.

Her attention was grabbed when the dark haired man entered the frozen prison. In his arms, he carried a blanket and two thermoses. He pulled a key out of his pocket and unlocked the door.

The unlocking click echoed through the tunnels, gaining the attention of Emma. She looked up and her tear frozen face contorted into fear. Her eyes went wide, what was left of the color in her face drained, and her chest increased in rising and falling speed.

As the man entered, she crawled backwards and cried out, "Pl-please! Do-on't hur-rt me." She backed up against her cell wall as she proceeded with a combination of crying and shivering.

Her heart swelled in accomplishment that the girl was afraid of Eret. If she's afraid of Eret, she'll be scared to death of our leader. He's someone to really fear.

"Sh-sh-sh," Eret hushed gently. "I'm not here to hurt you." He reached out to her but she slinked away even further. He placed a hand gently on her face and turned it towards him. "It's me remember? Eret? I'm not going to hurt you."

Emma looked up at his gentle smile with teary eye. "But-but you put me in here."

"I know. I know," Eret downcast his eyes. "I wish I didn't. You seem like a sweet kid. Bet you have a lot of friends."

"Yeah," Emma smiled a little as she wiped her eyes.

I don't believe it. Eret has too soft of a heart! Being kind to the enemy like that. Disgusting! However as she continued to watch, her heart panged towards the warm scene in front of her.

"I'm not suppose to do this but I'm going to anyway," Eret took the blanket and wrapped it around Emma. "It's not much but it'll help against the cold. And here's some cocoa and hot soup. Bread isn't going to do much for a growing girl."

Emma looked at Eret like she had been handed the world. She leapt off the floor and into the man's arms. She couldn't believe what she just witnessed. The girl was hugging on of the very people who was imprisoning her. Even from around the corner, she could feel a strange radiance of warmth come from the two. It was like nothing she had felt before.

"Thank you," Emma whispered as she pulled away.

Eret smiled down at the brown hair girl. "You are quite welcome." He then got up and brushed his pants off. "I have to get back before Dagur misses me." He bent down slightly and winked at her. "I'll come by and visit you tomorrow."

Emma smiled as he walked out and locked her cell. As he walked out of the tunnel, Emma began to eat and drink until she was no longer shivering from her cold cell.

Why was Eret kind to her? She's one of the enemy. She should be feared! Not pampered with kindness. Eret was always a softy. Maybe that's why Dagur hardly ever has him with prisoners. She looked back at the girl, and a wave of peace fell over her. A feeling she had never felt before. Like she had a strange connection with the girl.

No! She's the enemy. She doesn't deserve my sympathy.

She turned and left the cell area with her half believing herself. As she walked through the hall, a new layer of ice began to crawl up the walls, and the air got colder inside than it was outside.

Jack flew down the hall leaving a trail of frost in his wake. He headed towards North's office with Merida chasing after him.

"Oi!" Merida called. "Frost boy! Stop!" She finally got fed up with Jack ignoring her and grabbed an arrow and shot in front of Jack.

Jack halted and looked around scared at the source of the arrow. He turned to see Merida running up to him and he backed up in fear. "Don't hurt me."

Merida stopped in confusion as she cocked an eyebrow. "I wasn't going to. I'm a good shot remember? If I wanted to hurt you, I would have. What's with the sudden fear of me?"

Jack shook his head as if trying to clear his mind. "Huh? What? What are you talking about?"

Merida jutted out her hip and placed her fist on it. "Really?! What's wrong with you? This isn't you. Where's your playful self?"

Jack floated down to the floor and wrung his hands around on his staff. "I don't know. I was just washed with a powerful wave of fear."

"Uh-huh," Merida pondered as she looked at Jack skeptically. "And what were you thinking you were doing flying in North's office?"

"I don't know," Jack shrugged. I thought maybe he could help get rid of the fear."

"He can do many thing Jack Frost, but getting rid of feelings isn't one of them."

"Yeah I guess you're right," Jack downcast his eyes. His eyebrows quickly furrowed and he popped his head up in wonder. "Did you just call me Jack Frost?"

"Yeah?" Merida shrugged. "So what?"

Jack thought for a second then smiled brightly. "I love it! Jack Frost. It's like some superhero name."

Merida sighed as she rolled her eyes. "Don't get your ego in a twist. It's just a name."

"What is going on out here?" North bellowed as he threw open the doors. "I'm trying to concentrate!"

Merida and Jack went ridged in surprise at the large man exiting the room. "Hi sir," Merida greeted.

"Jack. Merida. What are you two doing here?" North relaxed a bit.

"Jack here thought it was going to be a good idea to bug you in your office," Merida explained. "I was trying to stop him."

"Why were you coming to bug me Jack?" North asked.

"I honestly don't remember," Jack scratched the back of his head. "But while we're here, can I ask if you found anything on my sister?"

North sighed and held the bridge of his nose. "Merida. You can go." Merida nodded and walked down the hall. North then turned to Jack, eye soft. "I have found nothing."

Jack's face and shoulders fell, the windows nearby beginning to frost over. North put a hand on Jack's shoulder and looked at him sternly. "Walk with me Jack."

North walked back through the large set of wooden doors and held them open for Jack to enter. On the other side was a large globe that was alight with white, green, and yellow specks of light. All around the room, there were small, pointed ear people running around carrying boxes of materials and handing them to large fury men who were fixing them or organizing items. It was a wondrous bustle.

"Wow," Jack awed.

"I know you have many questions Jack," North started.

Jack nodded ion agreement. "Yeah. But I don't know where to start."

"Well, may I start?"

"I guess," Jack shrugged.

"Why didn't I see you before?" North puzzled.

Jack shook his head in confusion. "Uh, um. What? I don't understand."

North waved his hand behind him. "The globe," North pointed. "Tells us where every single mutant is in the entire world. Good or bad."

"You know the location of every single mutant?" Jack asked amazed.

"Yes. The white lights indicate those out there who have a mutant gene but they themselves don't have it. However, their posterity might. The green are kids who have them but aren't of age to be here yet. The yellow ones are those who are of age and are either here or have graduated and mingled into society."

"That's amazing," Jack nodded. "But you said you didn't see me."

"That's right," North nodded. "I didn't see you until you flashed re- um rapidly. That's why the four of us, Bunny, Sandy, Tooth, and I, appeared on the scene."

"Could I have been one of the white ones?" Jack inquired.

North thought for a second but seemed skeptical. "I don't know. It's never happened before. But if you were a dormant one, how could you just suddenly make yourself dominant?"

Jack shrugged and a bit confused by North's out loud thinking. "I don't know. It was just a suggestion."

"And why isn't your sister on the globe?" North added. Jack snapped his head to look at him. "She wasn't on here but you were. Why doesn't she have the mutant gene?"

"Maybe it skips a child? Like hair or something."

North shrugged and his thought filled demeanor was lost. "Well, just more questions that need to be answered." He then turned to Jack and smiled softly. "I know that you are worried about your sister. We are doing everything in our power to find her. Both here in the mutant world and in the normal world."

"I know," Jack sighed. "It's just that I feel like half of my feeling aren't…mine. Like I'm linked to her in someway. Must be a sibling thing I guess."

North petted his beard in thought. He eyed Jack suspiciously as he gestured for him to continue. "Tell me more. What else do you feel isn't you?"

"The other day I woke up feeling like I was starving. Like I hadn't eaten in days, even though I knew I had enough. I feel this constant feeling of being afraid. It's not prominent but it's just sitting there in my gut. And on top of that, I feel like I'm freezing to death!"

"Well," North chuckled. "You do control snow."

"Yeah, I know but this feels different," Jack ran his hand through his hair. "It's like I'm in constant cold. Like I'm freezing on the inside."

"Interesting," North nodded.

"Then suddenly, this huge wave of fear washed over me but then was quickly replaced by-um," Jack circled his hand repeatedly trying to find the right word. "Gratitude, I guess."

"Strange," North's eyes widened. "I'll think on this. Maybe do some research on sibling connections." He turned toward the globe, suddenly seeing the time. "Oh! You should be getting back to you room. It's late. We'll see what we can find out tomorrow."

"Alright," Jack smiled weakly. "Night."

Yes another chapter down. Please let me know if anything is confusing to you or if you think something needs a bit more explain. Being the writer, I know where's it's going and sometimes feel like it's too boring and try to speed things up. Just let me know. Next chapter coming up soon. XD

P.S. I'm sorry if characters are OOC. Let me know and I will do my best to fix it in later chapters. (I'm really trying.)
