;figured I should post this chapter due to the lack of detail in chapter one. Sorry about that. Word of warning this chapter is really long. As always I don't own the guardains just the plot and any OC's;
Typical snow day. There's nothing Jack loved more. Well, except snowball fights.
The winter spirit flew down onto a tree branch over looking two groups of kids playing in the snow. "Time for a little fun..." Jack thought as he jumped to the ground.
Grabbing a handful of snow, he compacted it into a perfect round shape. Before choosing a victim, he blew on the ball of ice, causing it to glow light blue.
Jack scanned through the groups of kids looking for his first target. A boy no older than 15 was playing around with the kids. He looked strangely familiar but jack couldn't put where he had seen someone like him.
The boy had bright brown eyes and hair that swept to one side. He was extremely tall. towering over the others, He was currently building a snowman with two of the little boys of the large group.
Winding up the pitch, Jack threw the snowball across the park. the ball of ice hit the fifteen year old square in the back of the head sending him straight into the snowman.
The whole structure crumbled on top of him. The kids squealed and looked around for the thrower.
The boy resurfaced, gasping from the sudden cold. He blinked as little blue lights seemed to glow from his eyes. His face burst into a smile and he started laughing.
"Alright." He called to the groups of kids while he made a snowball. "Who threw that?" "Well it wasn't the Easter bunny, I'll tell you that." Jack joked flying over.
The kids all looked at each other murmuring asking yet again who had thrown the snowball. Before anyone could answer the boy threw a snowball at some of the kids. They squealed and followed pursuit.
Jack picked up more snowballs and chucked them at the kids. "Free for all!" He yelled as he threw more and more snowballs.
The kids squealed and laughed as they ran around the park, throwing and ducking from snowballs as they went.
The kids all fell to the ground exhausted but laughing. The 15 year old sighed and sat down on the cold ground. "I forgot how much fun a good snowball fight can be." He sighed.
"Lewis! Lewis!" A little brown haired girl ran up from the woods to the 15 year old her bright blue eyes shining with excitement.
One kid aimed a snowball at her but the boy, who's name must've been Lewis, called them off. "Not at my little sister guys she's only six." He told them. He turned to his little sister. "What's up Amelia?" He asked. "I lost my first tooth!" She said jumping up and down, holding the tooth out so he could see. "I tripped and It fell out!"
"That's great, Amelia." Lewis said ruffling her hair. "Do you think the tooth fairy will come?" Amelia asked sitting in the snow next to him. Lewis raised an eyebrow and shook his head. "Uh...yeah Melia... I'm-uh- I'm sure she will." He said unbelievingly.
"Gee, someone's a believer." Jack smirked flying up onto a tree branch. "Maybe I should-" "jeeze, Lewis, you don't have to be a party-pooper."
Jack looked in the direction Amelia had came to see a teenage girl walking up.
She had dark, wavy chocolate brown hair pulled back into a pony tail with a few strands of her side bangs dyed bright shades of blue, green, and yellow. She had Two pairs of ice skates thrown over her shoulder and her cheeks where flushed from the cold. What Jack found most memorizing was her eyes.
They didn't stay one color. They where constantly swirling brown, blue and green. Not only that, but they changed hues of colors as well. One moment she'd have sea green, ocean blue, and hazel brown, next she'd have moss green, sky blue and chocolate brown.
She crossed her arms and scowled at Lewis. Obviously they had arguments like this often. "Oh chill, Maeve." Lewis said standing up and wiping snow off his pants. "You get so worked up over fairy tails."
"Maeve..." Jack murmured not taking his eyes off the girl. That was a unique name. It fit perfectly for such a unique girl.
Maeve rolled her multicolored eyes. "It doesn't hurt to keep an open mind." She said. "And it doesn't hurt to come ice skating with your siblings." "I'll go with you later." Lewis said waving off the matter.
"The pond is scratched up and It almost started cracking." Maeve said shaking her head. "Trust me we're not going ice skating for a while."
"Why not? What's with a few cracks?" Lewis asked making a snowball. "More than you'd think." Jack muttered remembering how he had fallen under cracked ice trying to save his little sister. This Maeve girl had her mind in the right place.
"Lewis people drown if they fall under cracked ice." Maeve said crossing her arms. "Even your not that stupid." "Well, you can run Amelia home then. We're having a snow ball fight." Lewis said turning to the kids. "She doesn't have a good arm anyway." He "whispered" loudly.
"Is that so, eh?" Jack thought grabbing another snow ball. Maybe another hit to the head is all this kid needs. He was just about to throw it at Lewis when someone beat him to it.
The 15 year old got struck on the back of the head with such force, he fell over face-first into a pile of snow.
Jack looked wide-eyed at him then laughed. Obviously Maeve had agreed with Jack.
She was standing where she had been but this time with one hand on her hip, the other tossing a snowball up and down in the air.
"You see kids," Maeve said walking over. "The reason why Lewis doesn't want me to play is because he's never actually been able to beat me."
The kids laughed and pointed at Lewis going "Oooo!". Lewis scrambled out of the snow and shook his head so snow scattered everywhere. "I can too." He said rubbing the back of his head angrily. "Then prove it." Maeve said raising an eyebrow.
"You're on." He grinned, grabbing handfuls of snow. Maeve smiled and followed pursuit.
The two teenagers launched a full out snowball fight between the two of them. Kids watched from a distance, cheering for whoever they wanted to win.
The 15 year old stepped sideways as a snowball flew past him. "Ha!" He yelled looking triumphantly at Maeve. Just as he did so, she threw a snowball and it hit him strait in the face. The force sent him flat on his back. "Ha." She smirked right back.
"Impressive." Jack mused leaning against his staff. "But I could do better."
The kids all laughed and started to make their own snowballs and throwing them at Lewis. "Agh!" The 15 year old laughed trying to block his face. Amelia giggled as she dropped a chunk of snow on top of Lewis's head. She ran away giggling as Lewis tried to grab her.
"Can't handle the blizzard stay out of the cold, baby brother." Maeve joked wagging a finger at him. Lewis sat up and shook his head. "Your only two years older than me." He said. "Yeah, but you'll always be my baby brother, no matter how old you get." Maeve replied.
A group of parents walked up from the shopping center that was next to the park and called for their kids to come home for dinner. The kids all moaned but obeyed as they waved goodbye to the trio and ran to their parents.
"It's getting late." Maeve said picking up the pairs of skates. "We should be heading home too." At that, the siblings headed to their own home.
Lewis walked ahead of his sisters, still embarrassed from being defeated by his older sister and that he was freezing from being pelted with snowball. Amelia was holding on to Maeve's hand while keeping a tight hold on her lost tooth with the other.
"Maeve?" Amelia asked. "Is the tooth fairy real?" Maeve smiled and kneeled down to her younger sisters level. "Of course she is." She replied. Amelia didn't look convinced. "But Lewis acted like she wasn't-" "that's because she never left Lewis anymore than 25 cents per tooth." Maeve said.
Amelia furrowed her eyebrows. "The tooth fairy can leave you more than 25 cents?" She asked. Maeve smiled. "Of course! She could leave you 25 cents, a quarter, 50 cents, even a dollar if you've been extra good."
Amelia's eyes grew wide with excitement. "Really?" She asked jumping up and down. "Of course!" Maeve replied chuckling. She looked around and lowered her voice to a whisper. "But don't tell Lewis that I told you ok? He gets a little rough around the edges when you mention it."
Amelia giggled. "I won't." She squealed jumping up and down. "Promise?" Maeve asked. "Cross my heart and hope to... Hope to..." The six year old furrowed her eyebrows trying to figure out the rest of her promise.
Maeve laughed and ruffled her younger sisters hair. "That's good enough for me. Come on, lets go inside, you don't want Jack Frost nipping at your noes."
"Who's Jack Frost?" Amelia asked trailing behind Maeve, hopping inside each of her older sisters foot prints. Jack sighed and rolled his eyes. It wasn't the first time a child had asked an older sibling or parent who he was. Almost always the answer was: "no one, its just an expression."
Maeve smiled and jumped to a nearby tree branch and hung from it. "He's the winter sprit!" She replied chuckling.
Jack almost fell out of the tree. She knows he... Does she believe in him?
"He flies around the world creating snows days." She continued letting go of the tree branch and landing on the ground.
Jack stared at Maeve with the same amazement as Amelia. "Does Jack know the tooth fairy?" She asked instantly. "And Santa? And the Easter Bunny?" Maeve laughed. "I don't see why not." She replied.
"Does he help Santa deliver presents?" Amelia continued as they walked up to their house. "Or the Easter bunny hide eggs? Or the tooth fairy collect teeth? What does he look like?" Maeve furrowed her eyebrows at the last question. What would Jack Frost look like?
"You know Melia... I really don't know. I've never seen him." She finally answered.
They finally reached home just as the sun started to set. A tall man who looked almost exactly like Lewis was waiting along with a short, light brown haired woman with bright blue eyes who was holding a tray with glasses of hot chocolate.
Lewis was already there downing his cup while sitting on the steps of the porch. "Thanks for waiting for us Lewis." Maeve called while Amelia ran up to their parents.
"Daddy! Daddy! I lost a tooth!" She squealed as he picked her up. "Really?" He said smiling. "Let's see it!" Amelia held out one of her front teeth proudly and showed her missing-toothed grin.
"Why don't you go wash up for dinner. The tooth fairy will come get it tonight." He said setting her down. Amelia nodded and ran inside. Maeve grabbed her glass and headed inside as well. "Thanks, mom." She called over her shoulder.
"Oh Maeve!" Her mother called. "I have the night shift as the hospital! I need you to put Amelia to bed for me tonight" "Yeah mom no problem!" Maeve called back.
Lewis stood up and placed his empty mug back onto the tray. "Thanks, mom." He said heading inside.
"Guess the tooth fairy is coming tonight." The father said opening the door. "Jamie, you don't really believe in the tooth fairy, do you?" The woman asked walking inside.
"Jamie?" Jack muttered. He hasn't seen Jamie since he was 17. Now he's married with 3 kids. That certainly explained why Maeve knew so much about Him and the other guardians. Jack wondered if Jamie could still see him.
"Course not, Victoria." Jamie said following his wife inside. "They're just fairy tales." Jack sighed. Of course he didn't remember him...then again Jack wasn't expecting it. Everybody grows up sometime.
;please don't hate me for making Jamie claim he's a nonbeliever ;_; I dont like it either. Thanks for reading please review!;
