Chapter 5

Catherine could not believe all that had transpired in the past 13 days. Jack was really doing his hardest and Jamie was right there helping beside him. Today was the last day of the deal and she somehow felt sad. Did she believe in him or didn't she? She was completely unsure of herself. Between snowball fights, snow angels, and snow men she was completely unsure of herself and of him. Today was his last shot, what happened today would be the deciding factor in her believing. Her chest suddenly felt tight as she remembered their deal. If she didn't believe he would be gone for the rest of winter. She didn't want that she wanted him to stay and pester her more…

"What the hell am I thinking?! Its Frost why on earth would I want Frost to stick around?!" Sighing she came to a stop where she was suppose to meet Jack. It was the small pond outside of Burgess and now it was completely frozen over. She just stared at it and its beauty till a voice interrupted her thoughts.

"Nice isn't it. Here I got these for you. You're going to need them." Turning around she saw Jack and he was holding a pair of white Ice skates in his hands. Did he honestly expect her to put those on? She's never been skating before and she didn't trust the ice.

"No thanks Frosty but I much prefer solid ground not slippery." Jack smiled weakly and held the skates out to her.

"Please. This is my last shot after all and I want to spend time on the ice with you." At once Jack mentally slapped himself why on earth did he say it like that? What the hell was he thinking? Knowing her she would probably glare at him and make a sarcastic remark the bit worse than the cold. To his surprise she took the skates from him. Her face had turned red and she tried to hide that little fact from Jack. Who was she to deny him his final attempt?

"Fine but you have to help me. I've never done this before. I've always been too afraid to try." Jack smiled and knelt down helping her remove her black boots and place the skates on. To her surprise they actually fit her foot as if they were custom made for her.

"Where did you get these from anyway? I don't quite see you walking into a store and paying for them." Jack smiled and stood up after he finished lacing her skate.

"North, though you would probably now him as Santa Clause. He helped me with them after all he knows everything. Now come on lets go Ice." If it was even possible Catherine's cheeks became even redder when Jack took her hand. Her heart was pounding in her chest as she let him escort her on to the ice. At once fear gripped her as her balance became shaken.

"Jack… I don't think-" "You can do this I won't let go till your ready I promise." His smile was so reassuring and his eyes held nothing but truth and something else she could not quite place. She looked down to avert her eyes from his and that's when she realized he was on the ice bare foot.

"Where are your skates?" Jack laughed and slowly began to move backwards.

"Don't need them now push off with your left foot and glide on the right. You need to pick up your leg when doing so or you won't get far." Nodding her head Catherine did as she was told and found herself gliding across the ice.

The two spent the entire day skating on the ice. Catherine found herself enjoying this sport a lot and never wanting it to end. Jack glided across the ice right to her so he was beside her.

"You look so beautiful…" She quickly looked at Jack her face turning red and tripping over her own feet right into him. The two fell on the Ice Jack on top of Catherine faces inches apart. Jack was beat red as was she but for some reason Catherine enjoyed it and her mind went blank. Her body then took over and her lips meet his. Jack was surprised by the sudden act but it felt right to him. He leaned in closer deepening the kiss and getting no objections from her. When they parted for air Catherine was bright red. Did she really just do that and why did she feel upset that he pulled away?

"Catherine… my real name is Catherine but call me Cat for short." Jack smiled and got off her. He then offered his hand to her to help her up and she took it.

"Sorry… for… umm kissing you like that I have no idea what I was-" Jack just wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed her this time. His lips were cold and she liked it once more she did not object to the kiss instead she wrapped her arms around his neck deepening the kiss that she never wanted to end. Pulling apart for air once more Cat layed her head on Jack's chest and closed her eyes. What was wrong with her? Why was she falling for the spirit of winter the man who made it snow? That's when it hit her, she did believe in him after all who else could bring such fun to a winter wonderland?

"You win… you can take me anywhere you want… I believe in you Jack Frost the spirit of winter and the guardian of fun." Jack smiled not only did he get a kiss from her twice but now she was telling him she believed in him. This was the best day so far.

"Do you have work tomorrow?" Jack hoped she did not he wanted to take her to North's place tonight but first he had to make a stop at the Warren he did promise Sophie after all.

"No, why do you ask?" She took a step back from him to look into his icy blue eyes. Joy and excitement were all she saw in them and that made her smile.

"You should do that more. Smile that is you look beautiful. Anyways I want to take you someplace tonight if that's alright with you." Cat blushed a deep crimson but nodded her head in response to him.

"Alright lets get off the ice and get you into your boots again so you can walk around where I want to take you." Taking her by the hand they both skated back to where her boots where discarded. Once off the ice Jack helped Cat get out of her skates and into her black ankle boots. He then proceeded to remove a snow globe from his hoodie pocket causing Cat to look at it confused.

"This is how we'll travel fist stop the Warren." After speaking those words he threw the globe and a portal opened up. Cat looked at it amazed but did not feel comfortable she suddenly felt scared like her whole world was about to be turned upside down. Seeing her hesitate, Jack took her hand and gently squeezed it to reassure the girl.

"It's okay Cat I'll be with you the entire time. We're going to see Bunnymund and his girl Sophie. They're a nice couple but Bunny is a giant Kangaroo don't let him fool you." Jack's eyes lit up with joy as a smile played across his face. Somehow Cat did not believe that a guy with the name Bunnymund was a Kangaroo but more likely to be a rabbit. She nodded her head none the less and walked through the portal with Jack at her side.

Standing in the shadows stood a man with ragged black hair his eyes were a murderous gray. He looked dangerous and his strong built added to that danger. Quietly he watched the two on the ice in discus he would not allow this to go on much longer but he knew that Jack Frost would pose a challenge. So all he had to do was a little bit of waiting till the girl was alone and hope the Man In The Moon did not interfere again like it did when she was 10.

He would have her destroyed before she became the guardian kids needed and seeing her with a guardian wasn't making him feel any better. His eyes turned into a deathly glare as he watched Jack open a portal and walked into it with the girl. Where was he taking her? How long would they be gone for? He was pissed for this meant he now had to search for her again. This time it wasn't the moon that interfered but Jack Frost and he would pay dearly.
