Hello! I have had this floating around in my head for a while now, and wrote it down and have had a couple chapters saved away and decided it was time to post them. I hope you enjoy it and am willing to take any and all comments you have for this. Enjoy!

I don't own RotG


Crashing echoed throughout the cave, screams of anger following. The creak of the metal bars opening filled her ears and the angered figured crept closer to her quivering form. She shrunk back as a grey hand reached for her. It wrapped around the chains holding her hands together. They wrenched her to her feet causing her to let out a gut curdling scream as they dug painfully into her wrists.

The figure laughed, "I may not have the world at my mercy but at least I have death in the palm of my hands." Tears fell from her eyes as he threw her back to the ground. "You'll never get out of here." He said before kicking her in the stomach and laughing. His laughter echoed throughout the cavern as he fell back into the shadows.

She panted, moving to sit up against the wall. Her pants turned into to laughs though when she looked down at her half clenched fist. In it were the keys to her shackles and the dungeon door.

She unlocked the chains from her wrists and sighed with joy when they fell to the ground. She then limped to the dungeon door and reached through the bars to unlock it. The creak it made when it opened was music to her ears. She looked out and saw the shadow of Pitch in the main room. She smiled to herself and snuck out of the room. She walked quietly along the shadows till she reached the tunnel that led to the exit. She full on sprinted down the tunnel and burst out into the open light.

She stood frozen; this was the first time she had even been out of that dungeon. She was finally free to roam the earth. She frozen again as a bird flew up to her; she laughed and stuck her figure out to pet it. But when she touched it fell to the ground, dead. Suddenly she remembered why Pitch had kept her locked away for all that time. She needed to get away from any living thing. And fast.

There was one way to do that and it would alert Pitch that she was gone. She took a shaky breath before jumping into the shadows beneath her feet. Darkness engulfed her as she felt a sensation of falling. When she crashed onto the ground she opened her eyes to see the desolate frozen landscape. The South Pole. This was the safest place for her to hide. But it was also freezing and her black dress was shredded to pieces, she needed to find cover.

What better place than the cave she was near? Granted it wasn't the best place to spend eternity, but it was far better than the cage she had spent her life in till now.

She sighed and trudged to the cave, shivers shacking her small form. When she got into the cave she quickly realized that while it was better than being out in the open cold the margin wasn't by much. She was still freezing to the point where she lost feeling in her hands and feet. She curled up into a little ball and tried to heat herself up, to no avail. Eventually the cold took hold of her and she fell to the ground cold, her eyes shut and her form calm.

Jack was still having trouble adjusting to being a Guardian. First there was the fact that other spirits now respected and envied him, and then there was the small thing of children believing in him finally. It was kind of a lot to take in. So it made sense that the boy had taken refuge in an ice palace he created in the South Pole, didn't it? He wasn't running away, simply trying to get a few moments of peace away from his new found duties.

That is what brought him to today. He was flying to his home when the ground beneath him was engulfed in shadow. He panicked, that was Pitch's form of travel. But when the shadow cleared it wasn't pitch standing there. No, it was a girl. A girl who was not at all dressed for the cold of the South Pole. She was in a shredded black dress, but what really caught Jacks attention was how pale this girl seemed. She was whiter than the snow itself. He carefully watched her stumble to a nearby cave and wander in. He laughed and shook his head, that wouldn't protect her from the cold.

The boy flew down and landed just outside the cave intending to ask the girl why she was here, but he choked on his words when he walked into the cave. She was passed out on the floor. Jack ran up to her fallen form and slid to his knees next to her; he turned her body so that she was facing him. She was obviously a spirit, but which one? Jack reached out to shake her to try to wake her up, but when his hand made contact with her bare shoulder he felt something surge up his arm that made him flinch back, he shook his head confused before grabbing her shoulder and firmly shaking it, but nothing happened. He sighed and picked her up bridal style, noticing a slight pain in his arms when he touched her same as before although worse, before flying out of the cave and towards his home.

For some reason he felt weak when he landed in front of the giant frozen doors to his palace. He was breathing heavy and shaking. He kicked the door with his foot, almost falling over in the process. When the door opened he regained his balance adjusting the girl in his arms and walking inside. The slam behind him not even registering anymore. He walked quickly to the room where he let North build a fireplace, he set the girl down on the large chair adorned with furs- yet another addition from North- and ran to light a fire. When he was done he wrapped the girl in the furs and left the room, waiting for her to wake up.

She didn't. Put very blatantly by the third day Jack thought she must be dead dead not just spirit dead. But he still kept the fire lit and still tried to keep her warm. And finally after four days he got back from freezing over the states and went to the room she had been in, only to find she was no longer curled up under the blankets.

She awoke in this strange room, buried under furs and somewhat cooking to death because of the heat. She knew it couldn't have been Pitch that found her after she passed out, so who had found her? And why had they brought her here? She unraveled herself from the furs and stood up. Although as soon as she was out of her covers she realized just how bad her dress was at providing any warmth, so she grabbed one of the furs and made a cloak out of it. With the fur securely around her shoulders she made her way out of the room, hopeful the heat she'd find the person who found her.

Well as it turns out she was in a palace and whoever it belonged to wasn't home. She knew that because though the place was huge it was also open and see through because of course it was made of ice! She got a sick feeling at that realization; she knew who lived here.

Her suspicions were proved when she heard the rushing of the wind and a huge slam of the main door. She followed the footsteps to the room she had woken up in. And just as she suspected standing there in the here middle of the room with his back to her was the one and only Jack Frost.

Jack felt a presence behind him when he got to the room. He turned around and saw the girl gaping at him in the doorway. "I'm glad to see you're awake." He smiled. "I'm Jack." She continued to gape, her mouth opening and closing repeatedly. He walked over and held his hand out to her. "It's nice to meet you fish."

She stared at his outstretched hand before looking back to him. "You don't- you don't know who I am?" She asked confused.

Jack returned her confusion with his own, "Should I?" He asked, his hand still held out to her.

"How did I get here?" She responded ignoring his question entirely.

"I found you passed out in that cave so I carried you back here to make sure you wouldn't freeze to de-"

"You carried me?" She interrupted, "how?" She said walking closer. "How did you carry me without dying?"

Jack just looked at her confused, "I'm already dead so there's that." He joked, "Am I missing something? I mean who are you?" His hand falling to his side.

She sighed and looked down at the ground, "I am death." She said quietly, "you should have died permanently because anything of any living form dies when I touch them."

Jack was silent for a while before he spoke calmly, "What's your name?" He asked gently.

She looked up at him confused before answering, "Morana."

Jack held out his hand again, "Well Morana I'm Jack and I'm gonna help you figure out how to control your powers." He beamed.

She stared at his hand, a nervous smile pulling at her lips. She grabbed his hand slowly and shook it, "Nice to meet you Jack." She pulled away as soon as she felt her power reaching out to drain Jack's life. She retreated back a few steps, "but I don't think that you can."

Jack shrugged, "I like a challenge, I mean I just beat Pitch Black, I think I can handle this."

Her eyes shot up, and she stalked toward the boy causing him to back up in fear at her deadly expression, "I am not to be compared to Pitch Black. I am nothing like that horrible man!"

"I wasn't trying to say you were, I was just saying if I can handle someone ten times worse than you I can handle training you to use your powers only when you want to." Jack defensively explained; waiting for the girl to back off.

She nodded and sat back in the chair. "We'll start tomorrow, but for now I am tired and would like to sleep."

Jack nodded, "If you need anything my room is right down the hall at the end."

"I know." Came the swift response followed by, "I did some exploring while you were gone." Jack nodded before leaving the room.

When he got out to the hall he sighed and fell against the wall, death was staying with him and he just promised to teach her how to control her powers so that she didn't kill everything she touches. Yeaaah, he should probably go figure out how exactly he would do that. He rubbed his brow before taking off to the workshop to ask North if he had any ideas.


Okay, so if there are any errors in this I greatly apologize, but I went through it multiple times to ensure there wasn't. I hope youll review and I'll have the next chapter up as soon as I can. Until next time.

The Freak is out of here! :)
