Chapter 2: Enter Jack Frost and Windsong
Casey and Narain kept in touch for the next three years. It was pretty easy since Narain lived in the forest that surrounded Casey's main living arrangement, the pond. Then, Jack Frost came around and this time, Casey managed to catch him for the first time since she had become the water spirit. Casey was sitting on the edge of her pond just making shapes with the water when a breath of biting cold air found its way down her shirt. She smiled knowingly. "About time you turned up, Frostbite." she said, knowing that only Jack could send cold air down her shirt like that.
"You always know it's me?" he asked, coming and taking a seat next to her. He looked at her, his icy blue eyes making contact with Casey's sapphire ones.
Casey grinned at him. "Of course I do." she answered. Jack smirked, trying to hold back a round of giggles.
"Yet you've never caught me?!" he exclaimed.
Casey rolled her eyes, but continued smiling. "I've never actually tried that hard." she answered. "I've only been the spirit of the water for eight years. I'm still adjusting to it."
"Don't worry. After a hundred years or so, you'll have adjusted well enough that you'll be able to use your powers without thinking." Jack convinced. Casey raised an eyebrow at the winter spirit but shrugged, shaking her head.
"You're really something else, Jacky." she said. Jack frowned.
"Okay, never call me Jacky again." he commanded. "It sounds too weird."
Casey smirked and then burst out laughing. "You seriously don't like that?" she asked. Jack raised an eyebrow. "But it's absolutely adorable." she said, smiling widely when Jack looked at her in shock. She sighed. "Fine, I'll only call you that if I think you really deserve it."
Jack sighed. "Fair enough." He stood, cracking his knuckles. "Well, I better get going."
"But you just got here?" Casey whined, then slapped her hand over her mouth, a light blush creeping its way onto her pale cheeks. "Sorry." she said softly.
Jack chuckled and bent down next to her, placing his arm around her shoulder.
"Don't worry about it." He said. "Tell you what, after I finish my business here I'll come back around and we'll have some fun, okay?" Casey looked up at him, her hand dropping from her mouth. She nodded numbly. Jack smiled and flew off. Casey let out a breath she hadn't realized she'd been holding. The blush was still on her face, but it had become a deeper red.
Yes, Casey had a bit of a crush on the winter spirit. She loved Jack's snow white hair, his icy blue eyes and frankly everything about him. Plus, their elements went hand in hand. She could control water in all of its forms and he could control ice and snow. It was perfect!
Jack held true to his word. Every winter for the next fifteen years, Jack would spread ice and snow everywhere, and after he had completed his work, he would fly to Casey's pond and the two would play and have fun very much like regular children. Of course, there were occasions where Casey had to deliver rain when areas needed them but she was never gone too awful long.
However, in 1821, Jack stopped coming. Casey wasn't sure of the reasoning behind Jack's sudden disappearance, but that didn't make her feel any better about it. One day, after she'd brought rain to a little town called Wellington, when she returned to her pond, she felt a tingling in her ear. Peeking out of the water, she saw a figure shimmering in the darkness.
When she looked closer, she found that the figure was that of a woman. She had long white hair and, when she turned her head, twilight blue eyes. She was dressed in a light purple dress with dark blue star shapes around her waist, one on her collar and the last in her hair.
"That can't be the Tooth Fairy." Casey said softly.
The fairy figure took out a piece of parchment. "This should be the place." she said.
Casey shrugged and swam towards the woman. She poked her head out of the water. "Who are you looking for?" she asked.
The woman seemed to be startled and she turned towards Casey. "I'm looking for a girl named Casey Aqua. Do you know where I can find her?"
"I'm Casey." Casey answered. "What do you want?"
"I was wondering if something was troubling you." Windsong said.
Casey leaned against the shore as she stared up at the fairy. "And, why would you think that?"
"Well, it's kind of what I do. I fly around all over the world and comfort those in need. And, sometimes, I even play a song to herd their bad feelings away. Simply put, I'm kind of a guardian of dreams."
"Dreams? You mean like the Sandman?"
"Not exactly, I do protect dreams, but my true talents lie with my music."
Casey looked a little confused. "Music? And, what has this got to do with me?"
Windsong smiled. "My magic fountain picked up on your sadness, and it informed me that you were looking for a little company."
"How would you know that? Wait, did you say magic fountain?"
Windsong nodded. "The water in the fountain triggered your image in my reflection pool."
"Reflection pool?" she said, cleaning out her ear. "I think that's what made my ears buzz."
Now, it was Windsong's turn to look puzzled. "It's never done that before."
"You mentioned water, in which happens to be the basis of my abilities. I'm the spirit of the Water."
"Windsong, Guardian of Music," she said, dangling her feet next to Casey.
"You don't look like a guardian to me, no offense," Casey said rather softly.
"None taken. I really think that I'm a spirit like you, but Manny told me that I was a guardian when I first brought back as a spirit."
"Manny? Do you mean the Man in the Moon?" Casey said, looking up at the moon.
Windsong joined her as she looked up at her friend. "Yes. He made me what I am today."
Looking back at her, Casey said, "And how long ago from that?"
Windsong lifted her head to meet her eyes. "About 147 years ago."
"And, do you remember anything, from your past?"
"Yes. I remember my children."
"How old were they?"
"Thirteen. They were twins, so they had the same birthday."
"You must miss them."
A tear flowed down her face. "Yeah, I do."
Casey looked up at her sadly. "I'm sure you'll see them again someday."
"Manny did say that they were made into spirits as well." Windsong said. "I hope to see them soon."
"At least you remember who you were before." Casey said grudgingly. "All I have to go by is this scar on my chest." Casey pointed to the large bloodstain over her heart where the terrible scar was.
Windsong hissed in sympathy. "That looks painful."
"It doesn't hurt so much anymore." Casey said. "All it serves now is to remind me that I can't remember anything."
"Changing the subject," Windsong said. "What was making you so upset earlier?"
"A friend of mine promised he'd visit me every year after he'd done his job." Casey replied. "And he didn't show up."
"Maybe he's just real busy." Windsong said.
"Right, sure." Casey said sarcastically. "And I'm the Easter Kangaroo that brings eggs all over the world in one day."
Windsong chuckled a bit. "Well, give him time and I'm sure he'll come back. In the meantime, how would you feel about me coming around to keep you company?"
Casey raised an eyebrow skeptically. "You promise?"
Windsong nodded. "Of course."
Casey smiled. "Thanks Windsong."
"Hey," Windsong said. "We're friends now, so call me Song."
Casey nodded, smiling widely.
So how was this new chapter? Hopefully good cause it took me a bit to figure out. I got alot of help from MistyLilyValley who wrote most of the bit where Windsong met Casey. I just added my own spring to it.
