Chapter 2

It was dark crying could be heard and Catherine had no idea where it was coming from. Looking around she began to wonder around trying to figure out where it was coming from eventually she found what she was looking for. It was a younger her crying her mother's body lying on the floor.

"You must run. You must never let him find you. When the time comes my spell will be undone and you will need the protection of Frost... look to The Man In The Moon if you ever lose your way… you are Innocence reincarnated." Catherine shook her head why was this scene playing again? She had not had this dream since she was 13 she had hoped it stopped for good. The scene faded and she was surrounded by darkness again only difference was the younger her was still there but she had stopped crying. The child stood up and looked at Catherine smiling weakly.

"You must trust in Frost… if you don't all will be lost… please remember what your father said before he killed your mother… remember me…" The little girl faded in silver mist leaving Catherine confused.

At once Catherine woke with a start heaving slightly at the dream she just had. What was going on and how was she suppose to trust Frost? Frost was nothing more the ice on windows during the winter. She didn't get it and just shook the thoughts from her head. Running her fingers through her messy hair she sighed and looked at her clock. It was 5 am and she only sighed once again. It was early and she had stuff she needed to get done for the day. Slowly she got out bed and went to her closet. She pulled out blue denim pants and a black long sleeve shirt with a pair of black ankle boots. She then went to her dresser and pulled out a crimson lace bra, matching panties and a pair of black socks. Her next destination the bathroom, once inside she started the shower waiting for the water to warm up before she stripped herself of her crimson tank top and powder blue sweat pants. Once her undergarments where off she stepped into the shower and began to scrub herself clean. After about an hour of washing herself she got out dried her body off and got dressed. Looking in the bathroom mirror she was surprised by her image. Where her hair once looked like freshly fallen snow it now looked darker. It was more of a grey now then white and her eyes that once resembled the sky on a snowy day looked darker as well. What was going on? What was happening to her? Shaking her head she put the thoughts to the side. Who cares what was going on, all that mattered was trying to get the Man in the Moon to talk to her, to tell her what she is to do next. Once she dried her hair and brushed her teeth she walked back to her room and grabbed her red winter jacket. Slipping it on Catherine went downstairs and out the front door. Her eyes widened in surprise at the sight that greeted her. There was at least two feet of snow that littered the ground. Where had it all come from? As if on cue a voice broke the silence.

"What do you think? Not bad huh. It's called a 'Snow Day' ever heard of it?" Looking up Catherine carefully followed the boy with her eyes as he flew down onto the ground before her. She glared at him and smirked the same smile that sent chills down Jack's spine before. Slowly she walked up to him and the next thing Jack knew she had slapped him across the face.

"WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU!?" Jack placed his hand on his cheek and looked at her surprised. What had he done wrong?

"Your 'Snow Day' may be great for kids but I have WORK. Don't you ever think before you act? Thanks to you I'm probably going to be late. Also did I not make myself clear when I said 'DON'T COME BACK'. Or do you not understand that concept?" Catherine shoved him to the side and began to walk off. Jack was surprised by her reaction. Never in his life has he ever been hit before for doing something he was good at. Bowing his head Jack thought of what she said and could not help but think he might be wrong in trying to help her by himself, maybe he did need the other guardians. No he was not about to give up. Reaching down he grabbed a fist full of snow packed it together and gently blew on it. Smiling Jack then flung the snow ball and hit Catherine in the back of her head.

"I'm not giving up. I'm going to make you believe in me and the others no matter what." Catherine turned around and glared at the teenage boy once again.

"Oh really and how are you going to do that? By pissing me off some more?" Jack smiled and began walking over to her.

"Well I'm going to try and not piss you off but I'm going to do what I do best and try to make you have some fun." Catherine arched an eyebrow and smirked.

"How about we make a deal then, I'll give you one week to make me believe in you. If you manage to do so I'll let you try and make me believe in the others… however if you fail then you are to leave me alone." She held out her hand and waited for Jack's response.

"How about this you give me the one week to make you believe in me and if I manage then you have to let me take you to places you never been to and if I fail I'll leave you alone forever." Jack held his hand out now and Catherine lowered her hand. For some reason she had this nagging feeling that she didn't want him to leave her alone forever… why was she feeling that way? Why was it so bothersome to have him say forever? Not knowing why she decided to change the deal again.

"No, I'll give you two weeks to make me believe in you if you win yes you can take me where ever you want and try to make me believe in the others but if you fail then I want you to stay away from Burgees for the remaining time of winter." Now she held out her hand again and Jack bowed his head lowering his hand. Stay away from Burgees for the rest of the winter? Could he really do that to Jamie and his friends? They believed in him and counted on him… A thought then struck him he could get Jamie and his friends to help him out with this dilemma. If he explained the situation to Jamie he would more than likely be happy to try and help Jack with this problem.

"Alright you have a deal." Jack took Catherine's hand and the next thing he knew he felt a little shock run up his arm. She must have felt it too for she quickly withdrew her hand from his looking at it as if something had happened.

"Alright I'll meet you back her later I have work now." Once again she turned around and began to walk towards the town. Jack smiled he was going to win he had to.

"WAIT! What's your name? You never told me." Once again she stopped and turned her head. "My name is of no importance… I'll tell you eventually though… for now you can call me Ice."

A/N: I tried making it longer this time and again sorry about the Jack bashing. Catherine just doesn't like dealing with men… or teenage boys in this case. ^_^ I'll try to update as soon as possible but please leave reviews so I know if I should continue with this story. Also if you have any ideas you want to give me then feel free to message me. I love getting messages. Thank you for your time I hope you enjoyed
