Looking in confusion at the entrance to the mine before him, Jack scratched the back of his head. "I don't really know what I'm supposed to be doing here." Turning to the moon he waited for the man in the moon to speak, but instead he was greeted by silence.

"Look, I'm supposed to meet Jaime at the pond." Walking away from the mine he waited for the wind to come to his aid and carry him off toward Jaime…but it never came.

For the first time in all his life as Jack Frost the cold winds of winter were not at his command. It was as if they had vanished into nothing after he arrived, and no matter how hard he tried to summon them he was unable to bring the winds back.

"Jack Frost~"

From somewhere behind the mine entrance there came a voice like a whisper. With the voice their came a breeze of wind so cold it made even Jack Frost flinch back. Through the wooden planks it whistled quietly from the darkness within, all the while drawing a curious Jack closer to the mouth of the mineshaft.

"Hey! Jamie, are you in there?" He knew it couldn't possibly be Jamie, but if not him then who? Someone was definitely inside, and if it was one of Jamie's friends he couldn't just walk away and leave them there in such a dangerous place.

Peeling away the old wooden planks that covered the majority of the entrance he through them to the ground and looked inside.

"Looks like it's been a while."

"Jack Frost~"

This time the voice came from all around him, and now instead of a gentle breeze flowing out of the mine there came a rush of wind attempting to push him forward.

"Ok!" Keeping his feet firmly planted on the ground he tapped his staff on one of the stone walls twice. Immediately the cracks in wood of his staff began to emit a soft blue light which lit the area around him well enough for him to see. "Whoa! What the…!?"
At the outer limits of the light's range Jack could see the figure of a girl watching him from around one of the corners leading into another part of the mine. Whatever it was had nearly given him a heart attack, but now the figure was nowhere to be seen.
Swallowing his previous bout of momentary fear Jack proceeded deeper into the caves in the direction he assumed the figure would have gone.

Again the wind picked up from behind and led him deep into the mine. Each new gust pulled him in a new direction, and at times it was as if he was going in circles until finally the caves began to look very different.

There were no longer wooden beams holding up the ceiling, or marks on the walls from years on mining and digging. Instead the caves looked natural and untouched. Crystals covered the stone and the further into it he walked the closer the walls came to touching.

Finally he was barely able to squeeze past the last bit of rock before entering what seemed to be a large chamber.

Here the floor and walls seemed to be covered with ice, and in the middle of the chamber there stood a thick icy pillar that extended from the ceiling to the floor. Whatever it was seemed to be the culprit behind the icy breeze he had felt before, but now the wind flowing in from the outside seemed to be drawn toward it.

"What is this thing?" Walking toward the pillar he examined every inch of the thick ice. It was unlike any ice he had ever seen before, and being Jack Frost he thought he would have seen it all.

No. Something about this ice seemed stronger and colder than anything he had ever whipped up. Even on his best day ice like this would be impossible.

Now only one question. If he didn't make it…then who did?

Stepping up and placing a hand on the smooth surface of the pillar he was surprised to how the ice began to glow at his touch.

Quickly he pulled his hand away and the glow faded into nothingness.

"Jack Frost~"

Looking around for the figure he had seen earlier he found no one other than himself standing with the strange pillar.

Deciding it best to leave well enough alone Jack ignored his brain and followed his gut instinct instead. On a whim he placed his hand firmly on the pillar and watched as the glow intensified and spread through the base of the pillar. Upon reaching the core however, Jack noticed something extremely peculiar resting within the block of ice.

It was the silhouette of the girl he had seen as he entered the mine. How she was able to freeze completely solid was a mystery, but she was definitely in there...so, how to get her out?

Breaking the ice was one thing, but would the girl inside be harmed in the process? What if she was human, and if so, what if she's dead?

All of these thoughts and more raced through his mind as he pondered the different pros and cons of every possible outcome. In fact he was so distracted that he failed to notice the cracking taking place around the body within the pillar.

Finally the sharp snap of ice caught Jack's attention and he raced away from the now shattering pillar as it splintered and crumbled. Now a good distance away from the scene and out of the chamber Jack could hear the crumbling of stone that now accompanied the shattering of ice.

Every tunnel seemed to shake, and it felt as if the entire mine was crumbling down on top of him. Thinking fast to avoid any falling rocks, Jack took shelter in a crevasse just down one of the mineshafts leading away from the chamber.

There was a light filling the once dark mine, yet it was so bright he was forced to look away. It lingered for several seconds before slowly fading into nothing and leaving the caves dark once again.

It was quiet…

For a good minute of two Jack waited for any signs of a tunnel collapse. His mind now demanded that he turn around and get out of the tunnels, and for once Jack wanted to do the smart thing…but he didn't. His gut told him that he needed to go back and see what had happened.

Carefully making his way back to the chamber he could see a small bit of light pouring in from somewhere at the roof of the chamber. It was not until he was standing in the chamber once more that he realized how bad the cave in had been. The ceiling had completely collapsed, causing sunlight to pour in from the outside world.

Suddenly a glimmer and a bit of movment caught Jack's attention. Looking over he was somewhat shocked.

Sitting smack in the center of all the rubble and ice there was a girl. Much like Jack Frost her skin was pail and her hair was white. She also appeared to be around the same age he was…only her clothes seemed like something out of the middle ages.

"My head…" she groaned as she hunched over with her face in her hands.

Realizing she might be in distress Jack walked briskly over to lend her a hand before realizing that she might not be able to see him. She appear quite human after all. 'What do I do if she can't see me?' Placing a hand on her shoulder he found that he did not pass through her. Instead she seemed quite startled.

Quickly glancing up from her hands the girl met eyes with Jack for the first time. "Huh…" She breathed not knowing exactly what to say to the strange boy before her.

"H…hey!" He blurted put before coming up with anything more inelegant to say.

"Uh…" Her long white hair fell in her face. It was long straight while being smooth like silk, and it flowed down her back and over her shoulders like water. She wore a gown of pure white that looked like something royalty might have once worn back in a time before Jack could even remember.

His thoughts raced for a long moment of silence before he was able to pull himself together. What he saw before him was a girl…a rather beautiful girl…a strange girl. What he was to make of her he did not know, but it seemed that despite her ancient attire she spoke English.

"Who are you?"

Lifting a set of pointed dragonfly wings on her back she stretched them out a bit before attempting to lift off into the air. Once certain she was far too weak to do such a thing she settled for standing and dusting herself off.

"Wow…you really aren't human."

"Huh?" Looking back to Jack as if she had forgotten his presence the girl looked him over. "Um…I'm sorry, but aren't YOU human?"

Tossing his staff from hand to hand Jack laughed. "Yeah right."

"So I'm right?"

"No. I'm not human."

"Then why did you tell me I was right?"

"I didn't."

"I'm certain you did Jack."

"No I- wait…how did you know my name?" Tilting his head to the side after hearing her say his name Jack grew confused.

With a sigh the girl checked herself over ensuring noting was out of place. "Oh no…where has it gone?" rummaging around through the ice and rock she once again forgot the world.

"Hey! How did you know my name?"

"You told me Jack Frost."

"No, I'm actually sure I hadn't gotten to the name before you said it."

Flipping over rocks she gave a sigh of relief. "Well you did, how else would I know it?" Picking up a large ring she placed it on her ring finger and made a few adjustments. "Oh! But where are my manners?" Turning to face Jack and without warning kissed one of his cheeks. "Hello Jack Frost, my name is Suzy Snowflake."

[A/N: Well there you have it SUZY! She's a little messed up from being in the ice for so long, but can you really blame her? Her wings look something like Tinker Bells wings only both the top and bottom wing are pointed. Hope to read some awesome reviews! It's almost my favorite part!]
