CHAPTER 2 : THE BRAVE

Jack opened his eyes in a wide huge forest. He was transferred to there by the necklace. Last thing that Jack remembered was a glow and then he finally here.

"Where am I ?" Said Jack while looking around.

It seems like he was in a forest, when suddenly "WOO-HOOO!" from the bushes jump out a red haired lady with a horse cross Jack. The girl shot an arrow to a tree who painted with a circle. The arrow landed RIGHT ON THE MIDDLE of it . And then the girl disappeared. Jack was really surprised and shock "What the hell is that ?!" while watching the girl disappeared.

Jack tried to stand. He looked around. "Maybe is should go to a town" Jack said and prepare to fly. He crossed a forest and lake and a river and a huge waterfall. He arrived at the town. He couldn't be see by the people who doesn't believe in him so he can walk freely like he wanted to be. He walk across the empty street when suddenly (again...)

"GET OUT FROM THE WAY !" The red haired girl who rode a horse with a turbo speed shouted to him. The same girl that Jack saw in the forest. Jack quickly flew so he can't be hit. The girl show a really big surprised face when she saw Jack flying when she crossed him . She looked back and for a moment their eyes met and then the girl continue her trip. Jack was really surprised about that but what make him more surprised is that the girl could SEE HIM !"Maybe she's the guardian ?!" Jack quickly fly to catch up the girl.

Now the girl stopped to a little Horse Ranch "You did a great job, Angus" The girl stroking her horse. The horse gave her a little smile. When Jack try to land he step a branch. The girl quickly pulled out the arrow from her back, and make a ready position to shoot Jack. "Who's there ?!" The girl shouted. Jack just standing in there hope that the girl couldn't see him.

"Oh it's you… why do you follow me ?" The girl got her bow down. Jack now surprised again "Y-y-ou can see me ?" Jack stammered. "Of course I can…" The girl turn her back and start brush her horse. "Y-you must be the Guardian !" Jack flew to her. "What guardian ?" The girl looked back but Jack wasn't there, she turned her head again when "Huaa! Y-y-ou can fly ?!" The girl shout when she saw Jack was flying upside down. "Of course I can.. I'm jack frost" Jack said. When the girl heard that she started to laugh

"What ?! … You JACK FROST ?!Bh..Bhuaahahahaha" The girl couldn't believe that. She started to laugh. "Seriously I'm jack frost !" Jack said and land to the ground. "Huaahahahahaa.. now where is your beard, and your crinkles?! and why you caring around a STICK ?! " The girl kept laughing. "Excuse me but this is not a stick !" Jack started to become angry. "Oh really ? So what is it ? A magic wand ?" Jack quickly slam his staff to the ground and freeze it. The girl surprised, "NOW YOU BELIEVE ME ?!" he yelled. "Y-y-ou re-eally are Jack Frost ?!" Said her. "YES ! Finally !" Jack said. The girl just stood there when a Lady walk closer to her "MERIDA !"

"Oh no…" The girl called Merida said and look back "Yes Mom ?" Said Merida forcing to smiled "I told you to come back early is almost noon !" Her Mom said. When suddenly a surprised smile come "Why did the ground turn to be ice ?" Her mom said. "Oops.." Jack said "Well.. Maybe it because almost winter ?" Merida said. "Strange…. Anyway, let's go back Merida" Her mom turns her back and walk to the castle "Yes Mom.." Merida said and walk with her mother to the castle, she looked back for a minute and said "You're coming ?" Said her "I will see you later" Jack smiled. In his mind Jack felt that he already seen Merida before. A curly red haired girl but when ? Jack quickly erased that thought and then he flew away.

-NIGHT TIME-

"Merida.. Merida !"Jack knocked the window. Merida quickly opened it. "Wow if you came here I could be a dead ice !" Merida said and quickly closed the door. She picked up some coat cause Jack really brought and freezing cold wind. "Why are you here ?" Merida said. "Tell me Merida do you having some nightmare recently?" Jack said. After hearing what Jack said Merida face turned pale. "Merida ?" Said Jack. "Y-yes…" Merida said. "What kind of nightmare ?" Said jack. Merida sit in her bed flashback coming again "I-I dreamed that my mother became a.. Bear and i saw Mord'u and it attack's my family. The dreams, it came and gone really quick" Merida touch her head. Like the dreams give her a headache. "It's just give a pieces" He looked to Jack when suddenly the last pieces of the dream come. The last pieces that frightened her to death "No.."

"Merida.. ?"

"Jack, My own father almost killed…" Merida stopped her word. Looked him with a deep fear "My own mother…" Jack just stood there. "Merida.." said Jack, try to comfort her.

Merida shook her head "Well i-it just a dream right ?" Merida said. Try to be cheer up again. "It could be real right ?" She tried to look happy but in her words, there is some fear she couldn't hide. Jack looked to Merida "Merida… I need to tell you abo-" Jack stopped when he saw the black smoke was already behind Merida. "Watch Out !" Jack said. He quickly pulled her closer to him and matter of second he make a barrier. Protect both of them. Merida who still shocked, leaned back. What's happening?! "Jack wh-"

"Merida ! Beside you are there another child in here ?!"Shouted Jack while guarding the barrier to not crash into pieces. Merida who quickly snap out from her shock and now searched for her bow and her arrow shouted "Why ?!" She shoot an arrow to the smoke, good thing she found her bow and arrow early and the bad thing, it didn't work at all.

"Maybe this smoke could attack them !" Jack replied, still with the same position to protect both of them. He now make the barrier half of the room so he need extra power to protect the barrier. Merida shock, "No.. No Way !" She quickly ran to her three brothers bedroom. Leaving the barrier that Jack made. "MERIDA !" Jack shouted. The smoke sense that Merida is leaving and quickly follow her. "No ! Please don't let them !" Merida said while running to her brothers bedroom. Merida slammed the door. It was too late the smoke already cover the entire three brother. Their face was really turning pale and they were sweating. Merida quickly shot arrow. Many arrows. But it useless it couldn't make the smoke gone, it's make the smoke grow even more. The smoke who apparently in Merida bedroom now is coming closer to her. Merida feel the smoke was now capturing her and suddenly the nightmare strike again. Her mother turn to be a bear, her father that almost killed her mother, Mord'u who trying to attack her, fact that she almost lost her mother and make her died. The feel of pain, hatred and blame cover in one place. She can sense all of that. "N-no…NO !" Merida said. Her eyes already full of tears.

In her worst condition she suddenly saw a little light from the smoke. Just a little light in pitch dark. Like give her something to shoot. With all her strength she shoot her arrow to the light. Suddenly the smoke disappear in just a snap after the arrow hit the target. Merida almost fall when suddenly Jack catch her. "are you alright ?" Jack said. "Yes – yes I'm fine" Merida look to her brother. They seems normal again. Merida sit in the floor, try to get her breath again "Who responsible for this ?" Merida said to Jack. Jack can sense her hatred. "Pitch… my old enemy..he trying to attack child and make a nightmare, The guardians thought that we defeat him but his coming back again" Jack said. "Guardians ?" Merida said. "I will explain later but most of all I need you to fight with me… you are the guardians in your story" Jack said " I don't know what you mean… but if He attack my family, means he declared war against me.." said Merida "I'm going with you"

(Sorry.. i couldn't make Merida accent, i really don't understand that so i made it with English. Please forgive me ! 'bow down to the readers')
