There will be more than one word per letter of the alphabet, some were too important to not do. My drabbles will be 500 words or less, since I evidently can't do 100 -.-]

Jack stands and clenches his fists, the small body resting in his pocket. Lacking in passion, emotion, enthusiasm, ardor; dispassionate.

He turns to look at his assailants, lips curling in a sneer. Groundhog, New Years, and Fourth of July spirits. "I have no problem dispatching you," he says calmly to the ice-coated bodies as their eyes flicker around pleading to be let out. "I am going to enjoy this." His voice contains no emotion, as cold as his heart at this moment. Not affectionate, cordial, or friendly; unresponsive.

"You killed Genevieve, and for that you will pay."

He swings his staff around like a baseball bat, bashing in the ice around the New Years Baby's head, indifferent to the muffled cries as the infant spirit's body freezes solid and shatters with another hit. He turns on July next and tips her over, planting his bare foot on her neck and watching her skin darken with frostbite until she stops moving and her skin disintegrates, revealing pale bones encased in ice.

He stares the Groundhog down, then releases him from the ice. "Go spread the word that these bastards are dead. And pass along a warning. No one messes with Winter anymore."

The oversized rodent nods and burrows into the ground frantically, sure to give the sign of two more weeks of winter this year and many after.

"Jack," Tooth's broken voice wavers from behind him. He does not turn to face her and the others that have surely accompanied her.

"They deserved it," he says coldly. "They paid for their crimes. They will not bother me again." Lacking sympathy or feeling; indifferent; unkind. He flies away, knowing he is unwanted now that he is a killer.

Jack regrets memorizing the dictionary definition of cold-hearted.
