AUTHORS NOTE: Soo I'm going to post a little summary of the previews chapters cause when I'm following a story, I always forget what happened before. So here you go. Enjoy! And I'd love to hear what you think.
Chapter 1: Man with a plan summary
Pitch is ready to rise again. But he knows he first needs to deal with Jack Frost in order for his plan to work. Now he is going to pay him a visit.
Chapter 2 – Snowballs and Fun times
It had been almost 6 years since Pitch had been defeated by the big four and their newest member, Jack Frost. Now everything was perfect. The kids were safe, still believing in the Guardians and Jack had finally found a family and most important, some one who believed in him. This kid was no other than Jamie, the one who saved them all.
Now he was currently 16 years old and still believes in the Guardians like 6 years ago. He always enjoyed their company but his best friend was always the winter spirit. He was the one who visited the most and they always have much fun together.
Now Jamie was in high school. He knew that Jack would be waiting for him outside. Winter was almost there but Jack would always make sure to come by a little earlier and also leave after the winter season was over. Jamie could already feel the air around him getting colder and colder. He was waiting for the bell to ring. Only five more minutes and we are out… His thoughts were interrupted by their teacher who just decided to leave them some homework for the rest of the weekend. Jamie let out an exaggerated groan. Why does she always has to do that five minutes before the bell rings? It's not fair. Jamie though as he wrote down the assignment the teacher gave them.
When the bell rang, Jamie let a big smile cover his face. He grabbed his books and put them back in his backpack and run towards the nearest exit. When he was out, he decided to leave his backpack at home and then head towards the forest.
There was some like some sort of tradition between Jack and Jamie. When Jack visited, they would meet at the forest and both of them would hide and play a snowball fight. You could say it's something similar to paintball, except that they only used snowballs, throwing them to one another.
Jack won the majority of the times. As Jamie was little, it was easier to target him cause he was not as fast as Jack. He was also not that strong. Jack would always position himself on the highest tree branches knowing that Jamie couldn't throw that far.
But now that Jamie had grown, he proved to be more of a challenge. He could easily dodge Jack's snowballs and he could throw them with much force. Now that they were both almost the same "age" (although Jack was more than 300 hundred years old he always behaved like an 18 years old boy), they were almost the same height, but Jamie was not as skinny as Jack. He had well shaped muscles on his arms, shoulders and back. He used to love playing baseball and he was one of the best players on their school. He would stay some days after school to practice.
Jamie was reading himself for a snowball fight while walking towards the frozen lake. When he was about to reach it he saw a small figure approaching his location, fast. He assumed it was Jack. It had to be Jack.
Smiling, he hid quickly behind the nearest tree he could find and bent down while he grabbed a pile of snow and formed it into a perfect snowball. He peeked from behind the tree just in time to see Jack landing at the middle of the lake, frost covering the already frozen lake.
By now, Jamie already knew what had happened to Jack all those years ago and now understood why he loved that lake so much. Every time Jack went to Burgess, he would always be found there. But now that more kids could see him, he would spend most of his time just walking around the town and having fun with the kids.
Jamie peeked one more time to see his target and then with all his strength threw the snowball. The sudden movement and all the force he used made him fell to the ground.
He raised his head just about time when the snowball was going to hit Jack. Jamie laughed as he saw Jack getting hit from behind and, as he was standing on the frozen lake, he lost his balance and fall back.
Jack never noticed someone behind him, and never imagined that he would be hit from behind. Next thing he knows he's on the floor. While he fell, he let go of his staff in order to steady himself better but it didn't work either.
He scratched the back of his head while looking around for his staff. Now that he had his beloved staff on his hands again he turned around to see the culprit.
The moment he turned he saw someone hid behind a tree really fast. He assumed it was Jamie. None of the other kids would get this near to the lake. Plus, the figure was too big to be one of a kids. So there was only one person left.
Jack let his famous smirk grow on his face. Jamie waited behind the tree, a new snowball rested on his hands, and he was just about to throw the snowball when he noticed that Jack was nowhere to be seen. He looked in different directions but couldn't see anyone.
Out of nowhere, he felt something collide with his face throwing him to the snowy covered ground. He wiped his face and saw Jack sitting on a branch a few meters above him.
"How did you-"
"I AM Jack Frost, remember?" Jamie just laughed and stood up.
"So are we going to do this?" Jamie asked. Jack looked at him. "Hey, you started this. The war is ON!" Jack said as he flew higher into the sky.
"Hey it's not fair for you to use your powers!" Jamie shouted as he saw Jack flying off. That's not fair! But it is more fun.
Then the snowball fight began. They played this game all afternoon long. They would play until they reached a score of 100 points, meaning 100 snowballs that hit the opponent, or at least till they grew tired.
At the beginning, Jamie was having the upper hand but, like always, Jack caught up to him and they were always one behind another.
Now both of boys were hiding behind the trees, each of them had a fresh snowball on their hands ready to be thrown. They score marked 99 points for each of them. This was the winning point and none of them wanted to lose.
They were both panting from playing all day and they were trying to focus on their next strategy. Then Jamie got an idea. He grabbed another snowball and threw it on another direction. As Jamie thought, Jack followed the sound from the snowball and was distracted enough for Jamie to successfully hit him.
Jamie threw his arms up and shouted in victory. It was one of those few times he won and he always made a fuss cause he won against the winter spirit. So yeah, he always got excited.
"I WOON!"
"Hey, that was just a lucky hit" Jack said as not to admit that he had loss. Although he won most of the times, well actually all the time, he wasn't a good looser.
"You just don't want to admit that I won fair and square" Jamie said while smiling at Jack.
"Alright, alright, you won"
"Yes! You admit it!" Jamie smiled again until he looked at the time. It was late. Very late. "Oh my gosh! My mom will be sick worried about me! Hey Jack I have to go now but tomorrow we can …" Jamie trailed off staring into space.
"Jamie? Are you okay?" Jack said until he noticed that Jamie was looking somewhere else. He turned around and followed his gaze.
In the distance He saw a small black cloud approaching. And it was approaching fast. That can't be right, I haven't called the wind, at least not yet… When the cloud got a little closer, Jack noticed that it was moving in a weird way. It appeared to be black sand. Sand? It can't be him.
"Jack what… what is that?" Jack already knew the answer but he wasn't sure yet.
"I... Don't know. But it doesn't look good. You just go home and I'll see you tomorrow".
"Are you sure it's safe? It doesn't look like a normal cloud. It looks as if … as if it was sand."
"Yeah, I think it's Pitch but I'm not sure"
"Pitch!? Jack you need to get out of here"
"Hey don't worry about me! You go back home and I'll see you tomorrow. Remember that last time we defeated him effortlessly so don't worry about me."
Jack said while looking at Jamie. He could tell that Jamie was worried for him but he just smiled to show him that he wasn't scared. At least not that much. He was a little worried, he admitted it, but not scared.
Jamie just nodded and left reluctantly. Jack waited till he no longer saw him and flew closer to the black cloud hoping he was just imagining it. Let's hope I'm wrong…
