Before you found me - Chapter 2 - Unexpected
The next morning Jack was feeling awfully cheery. He had felt so depressed for weeks now but something today made him think that maybe he would make the best of the situation and be joyful for the fact that the children, even though they didn't see him, were happy because of his snow. That it didn't matter if they believed in him but the fact that he still could play with them and have fun.
As soon as he stood up he giggled at the feeling of happiness and called for the wind to take him in to town, today would be a especially beautiful day for everyone, even for him.
When jack reached town he immediately started the small snow flakes to fall from the sky, nothing much since he didn't want them to stay inside because of the snow falling to heavily. Then he let the wind take him to the park were the most of the children were currently building snowman's and making snow angels. But then he heard a sniffling sound behind a three not more then 10 m from him. He walked there to see who made such a sad sound and it was a little girl, not more than 7 years old if he would guess. He didn't know the reason for the girl to cry and well he couldn't really ask could he? He looked her over for signs of any kind of injury but didn't found any.
He frowned and crouched in front of her, thinking of something to do to stop the crying. He clapped his hands together, and a bright blue light shone through his hands and when he opened them there was an ice cub shaped like an angel in one of his palms. He smiled and laid it gently on top of one of her glove clad hands and she immediately looked up to see the sours of the weight that suddenly was on top of her hand. She sniffed and just looked at the beautiful angel she now were holding in her hands, so gently you would think it was going to break if she let out a breathe.
And when Jack thought his attempt was going to fail she finally smiled a bright smile and Jack beamed when she dried her tears and stood up. He saw here retreated to a older looking woman, probably her mom he thought, and laughing while showing her little angel and the woman before her had a gentle smile as she took a hold of her daughters hand and moved to walk away from the park. Jack was filled with joy for making the girl smile again, what he didn't know was the guardians, who had witnessed the whole scene, smiling at the boys successes, well almost everyone.
Bunnymund was stunned by the beauty before him, the boy didn't seem older than 15 and yet he was chosen as a guardian to help protect the children from pitch? Sure his actions with the girl before showed that he cared for the children but he looked so fragile, how was he supposed to help at all? And the incident '68 were also not forgotten just because the innocent looking boy confused his feelings at the moment.
North laughed loudly and sure enough the little winter spirit turned around shocked by the red clad man not more than 20 meters away from him stalking towards him with 3 others behind him. A short round golden looking man were walking behind the large man with a kind smile on his face, and a woman..bird? were flying in circles giggling while also staying behind .. well rather trying to stay behind the said man and a large bunny-man were stalking not close behind whit a irritated look on his face. Jack looked behind himself to see who they were seeking, though he didn't see anyone besides him there, since the children were on the opposite direction to were they were walking.
"Hello Jack me boy!" North said cheery standing only a few meters in front of Jack who's face turned from confusion to shock.
"err... wha.." he was cut of when the bird woman flew only inches from his face squeaking like mad.
"Look at his teeth! they are GORGEOUS!"
"Come on Tooth don't frighten the boy!" North said while laughing at the stunned look the boy was giving the woman inspecting his teeth. Sandy were waving for North to introduce them to the boy who was looking slightly frighten now.
"Oh right! Well Jack, Me name is North, and this short fella is Sandy" he said while pointing at Sandy while smiling a kind smile and waving hello to Jack, who responded by waving back.
"And i'm Tooth!" The bird woman said while still giggling in the air. "And this is Baby tooth! one of my little fairies" She said and the little hummingbird flew down to Jack and nipped is ear in affection, and Jacks face frost over a bit but smiled at the little bird with fondness.
"err.. and my name is Bunnymund" Aster said still feeling a bit irritated though it had faded slightly since he saw the cute blushing face of the boy before him.
Jack stood there for a minute in silence to progress moment which had passed a little to fast.
"Hi..i'm Jack..Jack Frost" He said after a moment feeling a little shy and nervous of saying something wrong.
"Ahh, we know that little one! Where for a reason you see!" North said still smiling like mad.
"Huh? really? what may i ask brings you here then?" He asked clearly confused.
"Mate i thinks it's better if you come with us back to North place to talk in private, you never knows who may hide in the bushes" Aster said not looking directly at the boy.
"I believe your right Aster! What'd you say Jack? Can you come with us for a moment?" Jack looked at the 4 strangers not trusting them completely but nodded out of curiosity.
"Great! Back to Santa Clausen!" And off they were to North's place not knowing what to come.
_North's Place_
As soon as they reached North's place they all went to the living room area and made them self comfortable. Jack sat on a armchair away from the fire place so he wouldn't over heat.
"So.. what was it you wanted?" Jack asked after minutes of uncomfortable silence, well at least it was for him.
"Right!, well you see we are the guardians of the children, our job is to keep watch over the children and protect them from evil outside sources. Recently a dejected guardian named Pitch Black, the boogieman, have gotten hold of some sort of power boost and are as we speak terrorising children in their sleep" Jack looked with shocked eyes at North not knowing how to quiet melt the knew information.
"You see last night, we had a meeting discussing how to take Pitch down, and MiM contacted by choosing a knew guardian." They all looked at Jack who gulped down the uncomfortable feeling thinking it had something to do with him now.
"The image MiM gave us was a picture of you Jack, You are the new guardian MiM choose! " North said excited now but Jack's face turned from the uncomfortable look, to shock and then turned in to some sort of helplessness.
"b-but i.. i-i don't, this can not happen!" Jack screamed in frustration and fear! He couldn't be a guardian! it was absurd! some sick joke! he didn't have any believers yet they tell him his a guardian?!
North looked in concern to the other guardians, no one of them had expected that reaction.
Tooth flew next to Jack putting a hand on his shoulder.
"Jack? is something wrong?"
Jack looked at them in disbelief and that turned in to anger
"Somethings wrong?! OFCOURSE IT IS! HOW DO YOU EXPECT ME TO BE A GUARDIAN? I DON'T HAVE ANY BELIEVERS AN..AND I .. I NO! I CAN'T!"
"Listen mate, no reason to start screaming.." Aster said concerned with the outburst by the young one.
Jack turned his anger filled face towards the large bunny and if looks could kill, there would defiantly not be easter next year.
"Like you know what i feel?!, no i can not accept this! i'm not a guardian! i'm not..." he trailed of feeling lost and afraid. North went up to Jack and hugged him to him wanting to get rid of the pain which fell from the little boy's voice.
"It's alright Jack, MiM choose you for a reason. Me and the others are here to help ya" Jack looked up from the hug feeling slightly uncomfortable yet warm and happy, in the right way.
He backed out from the hug and looked up at all of them with a sad smile plastered on his face.
"I'm sorry... i just.. i can't" He said and turned away from them fleeing through the window with 4 other guardians screaming his name after him.
So.. why is does Jack think he's not fit to be a guardian?
