''Hey, what's the matter? Are you okay?'' Jack Frost asked, frowning as he approached slowly towards me, worried. ''You look pale... Can I do something to...''
I interrupted him, my tone icy cold. '' Jack Frost... No you cannot do anything to help me whatsoever. I figured out why I knew my name, why you seemed so familiar to my eyes. You are the cause of why the house burnt. You...'' Now it was his turn to interrupt me.
''Woah wait a sec!I could never do such a thing! I protect all of you!''
''That's what I thought, too...'' My eyes were closed, I was standing on the ashes, right hand at my side, palm facing Jack, left hand holding tightly my brother's blanket. I started to feel heat all around me and inside my body, as if a fire was growing in my chest, trying to come out. ''I always thought Jack Frost would watch over us, would protect us. That is how I've lived my childhood. But where were you?''
''Where was I?'' he repeated, coming closer, silently.
''Where were you?'' I have yelled it without knowing it, my eyes opening wide with anger and distress. I couldn't control myself as the anger took possession of my body. ''Where were you when my brother and I freezed to death? Where were you when I pleaded for you to come?''
The heat grew bigger and bigger, stronger and warmer. The cold air became hot, turning and twirling around my now burning body.
''Who are you?!'' asked Frost, backing off because of the heat.
''I'm...'' I answered, confused, and closed my eyes. I did not even know who I was! Then the image of my shivering little brother came into my mind. ''I'm Kenna... Kenna Fire!'' I had yelled it, opening my eyes again. I jumped in surprise as I saw my whole body covered in bright red flames, but curiously I did not feel the heat. Flames licked my arms and legs like huge tentacules of fire. The snow around me in a 5 meter radar had melted out. I felt dizzy...
''Kenna...'' he muttered, his face crisped in sadness. ''I know you. I'm so sorry...''
His sadness hit me right in the heart and soul. He seemed in such a state of sorrow and distress that I did not find the force to feel angry much longer. Slowly, the flames faded away and I crumbeled to the ground, in foetal position, sobbing.
''Let me explain, Kenna.'' He signed as he sat in the lotus position on the snow. ''That night, I was angry at a certain person, Pitch. You might know him as the Boogeyman.''
I did not answer. I did know the man, he was the vilan in the stories my mother used to tell Matthew when he had to go to bed.
''I had lost control of my powers. I tried to repair my doings, I swear I did. Yes, your little brother lit up that fire. I was there, trying to make the fire go out. It did not succed. Then, you two thankfully escaped. But then you got back inside and I wasn't aware of it. I thought you were still with your little brother! Unfortunately, you perished in that fire.'' A tear appeared at the corner of his eyes. I had stopped sobbing to listen to his words, although I couldn't restrain hiccups and small tears to flow.
''Matthew called me. He said my name. I went to pick him up and brought him to your parents, to the village. To safety. I'm so sorry, Kenna, I couldn't do anything for you...''
He got up and approached my now cold body and nealed down next to me. Before I knew it, he brought me into his arms and I gripped onto his hoodie, sobbing again. We stayed like that for a while, and when I calmed down, I realised what I was doing and quickly pushed him off.
''Don't... Don't do that!'' I jumped to my feet, confused about my actions, and sprint towards the forest. As I was about to enter the darkness beyond me, I looked back to see the winter spirit fly upwards in the night. A tear flew on my cheek as I found a hole in a tree big enough to fit my whole body in it and I slowly drift in sleep, my last thoughts was about Jack Frost and his cold but soft touch...
Sorry for the wait!
