Sorry for the wait guys, I've had my first exams this week and I've been a bit caught up with revision and stressing out.
(Okay so this is a bit more of a filler chapter, so sorry in advance)
Also I planned out the rest of the story and it's going to be at least 15 chapters long give or take a few, (so much for 4 chapters which it was going to be originally :P)
Anyways here you go, chapter 4!
Chapter 4
(Present Day)
They flew side by side over the scenery below, letting the wind guide them. Night had fallen, and the moon watched down on them from high above.
Jack spun in the air to face Tooth, gliding along on his back, he called,
'Ready?'
Tooth barely had time to nod before Jack flipped backwards expertly and dived down, gliding through the air like a torpedo in the darkness, towards the ground.
Tooth dived after him, laughing.
They pulled up sharply just before they collided with the earth.
'That was fun' Tooth gasped.
'Guardian of fun remember? But you haven't seen anything yet.' Jack told her with a grin.
'Where are we?' Tooth asked.
'Germany.' Jack said, 'Just outside of Corona. Mild winters, though they do get the occasional freak cold snap.' Jack grinned.
'Not that you'd have anything to do with that' Tooth said.
'Of course not.' Jack replied innocently.
Jack walked over to a stream and touched the surface gently with the end of his staff. Tooth watched, fascinated as the water's surface began to freeze, rippling out from where it met the end of the staff, until the entire stream was coated in a thin sheen of ice. Frozen in time.
'Wow' Tooth exclaimed, touching the surface with a finger.
Jack ran a hand though his hair, still unused to people complementing his work.
'Do want to try?' Jack asked.
'Me?' Tooth looked at him uncertainly.
Jack nodded 'yeah sure, it'll be fun.' He rubbed his hands together forming a round ball of snow and held it out to her.
Tooth hesitantly took the snowball in her hands.
'What do I do?' She asked him.
'Throw it' Jack said. 'Like this!' He grinned hurling a snowball at a nearby tree; the leaves shining silver in the moonlight, where the snow had touched them, frosted over.
'Your turn.' Jack told her. Tooth glanced a little nervously at the snow in her hand, then fixing her sights on the tree beside the one Jack had hit, and let it go. It struck the base of the tree and exploded into a shower of icy crystals which clung to the lower trunk, like ivy.
'Not bad.' Jack said, inspecting the result.
'I missed. I wasn't even aiming there.' Tooth protested, blushing a little.
Jack laughed. 'I've seen much worse. You just need to work on your technique.' He told her.
'Here' he said handing her new snowball. 'Have another go.'
Tooth
'Concentrate on the place you want to hit. Let's say...that branch there.' Tooth nodded her eyes locked on the bough in question.
'Over arm.' Jack said, with a hand gently under her elbow, guiding her arm up. 'You'll get more power that way and it'll travel further, and higher.'
'Then just...let it fly.' They watched as it soared through the air and struck the
'I did it!' She beamed in delight, clapping her hands together.
'See' Jack told her. 'A little more practice and you'll be deadly in a snowball fight.' He grinned 'Come on, lets go again.'
An hour later, they sat in the snow laughing, Jack flopped backwards, lying in the snow and stared up at the night sky.
Tooth rubbed her hands together trying to regain feeling in her fingers.
'This was so much fun.' She told him, 'Thank you.'
'I enjoyed you being here.' He told her honestly, Tooth smiled,
'Maybe we could do this again sometime?'
Jack sat up, looking at her a little surprised. 'really?'
'really really' She told him and he grinned.
'although…' She added, Jack tilted his head questioningly. 'I need to make sure I get some gloves, I don't think my fingers are made for the cold.' she laughed, holding up her pink fingers.
'sorry' Jack told her looking a little guilty, but she smiled. 'Don't worry, not all of us are built for making snowmen.' he returned her smile and they looked out at the glistening scene.
'Hey Tooth' Jack said after a moment of silence, she turned to look at him. 'Can I, show you something?'
There was something in Jack's expression that told her that this was important to him.
'Of course.' She said.
not the best chapter I know, sorry.
Okay so it's my last week of exams next week, so I might not be able to update much this week, but I promise I'll have at least 1 new chapter to post soon, if not more (depending on how much time I get between revision and stressing over exams :P )
The next chapter will hopefully make up for how short this one was. Really looking forward to posting it. Let's see if we can get at least 3 reviews
before I post chapter 5! :D xx
