Jack Frost, loved being around kids; Making them happy, whether or not they could see him. He never liked seeing any of them sad, mad, depressed, or scared.

He has been a Guardian for five years now and has enjoyed every minute of it.

Granted, when he first started, he was scared and unsure of himself being a Guardian. He didn't avoid the four because he learned a lot about where they came from and what they did for the kids of the world when he had to help them fight Pitch Black.

He and Bunny have also been getting along, though occasionally, they would bump heads being that they were both strong alpha males.

He does what needs to be done for his winters, just as the Big 4 do for their work. He still does what he has always done. For being a Sprite of one of four seasons, it was the way it was, and he couldn't help that.

Jack was heading back to the North Pole after flying to many parts of the world, giving out his snow in many different forms.

He had his own room, but he didn't always stay at the Pole; It was going to take a long time before he got used to living somewhere that wasn't Burgess, Pennsylvania.

He got to North's Headquarters and walked to his room for some rest, but not before he told North that he returned.

Jack took a nap for about an hour. He was hoping for a little longer, but a yeti awoken him, telling him that the big guy needed to see him.

"What about," Jack asked, groggily?

He couldn't remember this yeti's name, there were so many of them, to even try...That, or he was too sleepy to even care at this moment.

The full grey yeti responded in his yeti language, saying, "There is something that he needs you to do."

At least Jack could understand their language better than he could remember their names.

"Can't it wait? I was sleeping."

The yeti shook his head no, which made Jack sigh in annoyance. He threw his feet over the bed and stood up slowly.

I bet North would be annoyed if he was awakened from his nap, Jack thought to himself.

The giant beast waited for him patiently at the door.

Even though Jack could find North's office on his own, the unknown yeti led him there, anyway.

He swore he would, eventually, recall this one's name.


The two got to the door of North's office, and the yeti knocked three times.

"Come in, Jack!" North yelled, from the other side.

The grey yeti opened the door, and Jack walked in.

"I told you I was getting some shut-eye," Jack told him, still annoyed as he walked further into the room. The yeti left the two, closing the door behind him. "That yeti told me you need me to do something."

"George was correct."

Oh, right! That was his name!

Wasn't there another yeti or an elf with the same name?

Okay, yep, he was tired.

"So, what is it," he asked, plopping down onto a chair?

"You have been requested," North answered, still sitting behind his desk.

"Requested?" Jack was confused, "By who?"

"A little girl," he picked up the letter that laid out in front of him and handed it to Jack.

Jack looked over the letter, "North, I can't read this. I'm not good at reading kid's handwriting."

"Ah, no worries!" He took the letter back, "I've gotten used to knowing how to read them, I forget others cannot."

Jack still had tiredness in his eyes, but he forced himself to hear the whole letter.

The letter read:

Dear Santa,

Can you bring more snow? Daddy keeps yelling at mommy and leaving marks, and I want to hide in the snow so he can't find me.

My arm still hurts from the other day. He said I was bad because he stepped on my toys that were by my bed.

Can you bring lots of snow? I want to hide like an Eskimo!

Love, Krystall

Jack's face was in shock. He was, definitely, wide awake now.

"Her, her dad beats her and her mom?"

"I'm afraid so," North answered with a sad expression.

"Where does Krystall live," Jack asked, standing up now?

"In Flagstaff, Arizona," the big man answered.

"I will give her what she wants," he turned to walk toward the door.

"Jack," North joined him on the other side of the desk, stopping the Winter Sprite before he even touched the doorknob.

Jack felt as though he needed to hurry to help the young girl, but looked back at him, to hear more of what he needed to say.

"That child needs more than just your snow. You must put your Guardian duties to the test."

"How?"

"You must protect her."

"How can I protect her from someone who can't see me," Jack asked, worriedly?

"I cannot give you all the answers, Jack." He placed a hand on his shoulder, "You must figure that out on your own. Krystall is your number one priority until she is safe."

"For how long?"

"As long as it need be."

North saw his still worried face, "Do not worry, you can still go off to do Wintery things, but you must always return to her."

Jack nodded slowly.

"And any one of us will keep eye on you in case of anything."

Jack smiled slightly with the same nod.

"You will do fine," he told him warmly. "Man in Moon would not have chosen you as Guardian if he knew you could not care and protect the children."

Jack's smile widened more. "I should get going."

"If you need to catch up on sleep—"

"No. No." He waved his hands along with a shake of his head, "That little girl needs me."

After he got the address, Jack headed to Flagstaff.
