Jack's POV
Wow I think I've met my match, I mean she is torturing me she just pulled away, and kissed me on my cheek. She is toying with me, which only makes me want her more. And now she is asleep in my arms, looking so peaceful when danger is so close. I decided to carry her back to her room trying to hide from the other guardians as well; I don't want them to get the wrong idea. I set her down in her bed and pulled the cover over her, she was still cold from falling in the lake. I still can't believe I let that happen and when I reached in to grab her she was just a little to deep and I was just too afraid to go any further all because I couldn't swim but when she swam up slightly so I could grab her I was so relieved. I flew out her window and around to my rooms window flew in and fell asleep.
Selena's POV
I woke up in my bed and not in Jacks arms s I thought I would, it was early morning and I could see the beginning of the sunrise so I decided to go walking when I entered the forest and saw the lake from last night I couldn't help but think about how stupid I am to have fallen for Jack, I mean my job is too important to be distracted and, and I'm just not meant to have true love I felt a tear escape from the corner of my eye I cant do this, its just going to end like last time I thought back to the last time I fell in love.
Flashback to before Selena became Princess of Spring
We were walking in the forest after dark something that was forbidden at the time, laughing my head on his shoulder and his arm around my waist "close your eyes we're almost there" I closed my eyes relying on him to guide me through the forest "you can open your eyes we're here" I opened my eyes an looked up at this massive tree that would have been hundreds of years old with lanterns hanging here and there I gasped "it's beautiful, Drue" "I thought you would like it" "like it I love it" I jumped into his arms and hugged him as tight as I could, then I began climbing the old tree "well, are you coming" he laughed at how impatient I could be and began climbing with me until we reached the highest branch we could then we just sat there and I looked up at the stars "you know, Selena, I think I might just be in love with you" I looked at with an expression that read 'you think' "oh really and when did you figure that out genius" he laughed at this and pulled me closer to him I looked into his eyes and our faces began to move closer and closer until our lips were almost touching when it happened. One of the lanterns close to us caught fire and began to spread I freaked and pulled away trying to extinguish the fire trying to save the tree rather than myself Drue had already begun climbing down when he noticed I wasn't following him "Selena, come on we have to get down now" "we can't if we leave it the tree will burn" "who cares about the tree Selena" i though of my mom and how she would hurt if this tree burnt down but then again the whole forest would hurt if this tree burnt down "I care about the tree" I could see the hurt and anger in his eyes as he decide to continue down the fire was spreading still as I set another of the lanterns on fire further down then I saw as Drue stepped onto a branch to jump down from but the fire had already weakened the base and it fell with him to the ground "DRUE" I screamed I almost slipped myself. I dared to look down after him but what I saw broke my heart he was lying there, still, I knew he was dead I just couldn't feel the cheer that he brought anymore. But then I felt a searing pain on my leg and noticed my dress had caught fire I knew though that the only way to save the tree would be too cut the branch off so grabbed the knife I kept on me at all times and began to saw through the top half of the tree knowing my weight would cause it break anyway. It did, I fell to the ground next to the extinguished branch and next to Drue the fire on my dress didn't go out though but I fell unconscious and the fire spread killing me and Drue but before it could spread to the tree the moon lifted me up and extinguished the fire although my body was burnt and charred the moon brought it back to life just as mom said it would when I died my skin took on a beautiful glow with more life than it ever had before.
End Flashback
I sat there crying for a while until I heard someone coming I immediately put my guard up and hid behind the bushes until I noticed it was just Tooth I stepped out from behind the bushes startling Tooth at the same time she jumped but calmed down when she noticed it was just me "Selena, its just you, actually I was looking for you… wait have you been crying your eyes are all red" I just looked to the ground she sat down on a fallen log and patted the space next to her, so I went and sat where she had motioned for me to sit "is it about Drue" she asked me and I looked at her shocked how did she know "I looked at the memories in your teeth" she said guiltily I sighed and nodded letting a tear slip from the corner of my eye "it's ok it wasn't your fault some things are just meant to be" "but why did it have to kill him too" "I don't know but whatever Manny did it was for the best" "I guess but…" then Cupid and Faun came walking out calling my name until they spotted me with Tooth "there you are darling, we've been looking everywhere for you, but I knew you just be walking through the Spring forest, now cough it up Faun" Cupid said while holding her hand out to Faun when she gave Cupid a few gold coins (our way of gambling, whoever has the most at the end of the year gets to use the other two as servants for 2 days not fun but very motivating) I laugh as they pull me up and back to the cabin as Tooth followed close behind. When we got inside Jack came up and gave me a cup of hot chocolate and noticed that he had the same thing in his hand instead of the usual iced chocolate so I arched my eyebrow at it and just shrugged his shoulders. I went and sat between North and Bunnymund North cleared his throat and began with his Russian accent "so we have six days till the full moon so Selena what do we need to grow the flower" he looked towards me so I thought back to the list "we need something from each of the four seasons, a moonstone and enchanted water" then something clicked in my head, the reason why it didn't work last time was because there wasn't enough magic in the water so it defaulted to drawing magic and essence from me "so can it just be any water, or is it from a special enchanted billabong" Bunny said "no it can be water from anywhere it just needs to be enchanted with magic so the flower can primarily feed on the essence in the water" then Jack spoke up "so does the magic have to come from you or can it be from others" I knew what jack was getting at "no it doesn't have to come from me… but I don't want you guys to use your magic" Tooth was the first to pipe up from this "I don't care if you want me to or not I will" "same here" Bunnymund said then North "same here" then my sisters said the same thing together "well you already know my answer" Jack said "ok I guess I have no choice… but if it comes down to it I will severe the bonds if it begins hurting any of you" "well, Tooth, you better get going to collect all those teeth, Bunnymund you collect something from the Summer season, Sandy, from the Autumn Season and jack…" Jack cut in "yeah, yeah I know the winter season I'm on it" "Selena I am sure you can handle spring" I laughed sarcastically "of course I can I am the princess of spring right" he nodded "I will see if I can find the moonstone" then Faun cleared her throat and looked at North with an angry glare "and what about us" North looked slightly shocked and quickly said "Faun you can come with me, Cupid you can stay and look after the cabin" Cupid shrugged fine with the idea and Faun looked a little more satisfied and nodded. I ran outside eager to get back to spring and as soon as I found a small meadow in bloom in the centre of the Spring quarter I just fell down and laid in the long grass and beautiful flowers, Spring is known for its beautiful flowers but there is so much more so I picked a mango off a nearby tree it was still green so by the time the moon was here it would be ripe and not rotten, but mangoes are delicious in this season so I grabbed a few more for everyone else. After I put my stuff inside and began to make my way outside I saw a snowflake in the corner of my eye inside the house and not melted Jack must have made it for the spell I then thought about where Jack might be right now "probably in winter having a snowball fight with rabbits" I mumbled to myself right then Lilly bounded into my arms and began licking my face I laughed "well hello to you too, I see you've been sleeping well" she nodded and followed me as I walked outside and into the Winter season which Lilly wasn't too happy about but followed none the less. When I spotted him I quickly darted to behind a tree and watched as he ran up to the edge of the lake and just as quickly stopped on the edge almost falling into the water I giggle as he tried it a few more times but then remembered how he couldn't swim I walked out towards him with Lilly growling behind me.
