I squinted my eyes against the sunlight, not knowing where I was. I sat up slowly and carefully. There were gorgeous flowers caressing my strait red hair that tickled my pale arms. I smiled at the flowers unconsciously and touched their soft bright petals. The flower almost seemed to become more colorful and beautiful. I smiled widely at my new discovery. I ran my hands across the grass and watched it grow greener while the flowers bloomed user my fingertips. I laughed to myself as I stood up happily and ran to the closest tree. I touched it softly, quickly removing my hand, waiting for a reaction. Nothing. I tried a again with more pressure. Still no response. I pouted and placed both hands on the tree and gave it a slight push. I sighed and slumped against the tree, resting my head against the bark. As my hands played with the grass, thoughts raced through my head. How did I get here? Where was I? I couldn't remember anything before waking up in this forest but I knew there was more. I groaned at the fact that I didn't know anything, it made me just plain frustrated. I looked up at the scenery around me when I spotted a Doe. The moment our eyes met, it grew alert. I chuckled to myself and smiled at the deer. She relaxed slowly and approached me in its graceful manner. When we met eye contact for the second time, it almost seemed like it was smiling at me, just in a different way that I did. I smiled along with my new friend and ran my fingers across its silky fur. I continued to pet her as she layer down next to me, resting her head on my lap. Unconsciously I started to hum. It was an unfamiliar lullaby but at the same time I felt like I knew it. We both sat there and slowly drifted asleep to the warmth of the sun.
I woke to a loud and happy chirping noise. I opened my eyes to see a bright red bird flying in front of my. Smiling, I held out my hand and allowed the bird to land on it. It happily tweeted and I looked around to see I surrounded by animals. At first I went wide eyed but then started laughing. There was a squirrel on my right shoulder and a hummingbird on my left. There were quite a few bunnies snuggling against my leg along with a mother duck and her ducklings. And still on my lap was my doe friend, still asleep. "Sure looks like the animals like you." I jumped at the sudden voice and quickly looked around for the source. The animals were starting to scatter back into the forest from the sudden noise. I didn't see anybody around but I was for sure I heard something. "Ha! And there they go!" I gasped and looked up. There was a young boy sitting a tree, he had messy white hair with a blue hoodie and a staff at his side. I stared at him for a moment and then found courage to speak. "W-who are you?" His smile started to fade a little bit into a more shocked look. He jumped down from the tree and walked towards me. I tried to back away but found my back running into the tree. "Can... Can you see me?" He asked in an amazed voice. My fear instantly left me and I broke into laughing, it was the most stupid question I could possibly think of. "No shit sherlock! He stood there for a moment then joined me and my laughter. We laughed for a moment then I asked the question I had asked earlier. "So, who are you?" He held his hand out with a lopsided smile "Jack. Jack Frost." I took his hand and shook it. "My name is..." I stopped shaking his hand and tried to think. My name... What was my name? "Um just call me Dawn." He chuckled a little. "Nice to meet you" we stood there for a minute awkwardly till I spoke up. "Why would you even ask that?" I asked with a bit of humor in my voice. He frowned and seemed to have a sadness in his eyes. "Nobody other than the guardians can see me."
"What do you mean?"
Jack looked at me for a moment then held out his hand. "Come on, I'll show you." I looked at his hand with confusion but took it anyway. There was a strong cold breeze and the next thing I knew we were no longer touching the ground. I gasped and clutched Jack, squeezing my eyes shut. I heard laughter and the wind got stronger. To what seemed to be hours we finally reached the earth again. I opened my eyes feeling dizzy. As I looked around me it seemed that we were in a city, it was full of people and I smiled happily. I looked at Jack, he had his hands in his pockets and sighed. I was confused, why was he acting so down. Then without a warning I felt a sharp emptiness in my body. I gasped at the sudden change. I looked to see that child had just walked right threw me. Not around me, through me, through my entire body. I touched my stomach trying to understand what had happened. "See. I guess they can't see you either." He looked at me then looked away. A little frightened, I went up to a middle aged woman, and before I could say anything, she walked through me. I backed away. I was a bit disturbed with this as I realized what Jack meant. He must've seen that this upset me because he had a sudden change of mood. "But you should meet the guardians! They're a little, well, strange." He laughed a little. "But They'r real great. He held out his hand again. "C'mon I'll introduce you." I almost took his hand but then remembered what happened last time. "Sorry, but there is no way in hell I'm doing that again" he laughed and then grabbed my arm. And just like that we were in the air. I yelled I anger searching for a place to hold on to. Once we reached the ground again I punched Jack hard in the arm. He didn't wince the slightest bit. Instead he just laughed with that stupid, charming lopsided smile of his. This just made me more angry so I punched him harder. It was like he didn't even feel it. We walked into a strange entrance and my eyes widened at the sight. There were large hairy creatures working on fun little toys and some little elfs just running around. We walked through the enormous building when we came upon a large man. He had a long knotted white beard and he was wearing a strange red outfit. When he saw us coming he smiled and said in a booming voice, "Ah, Jack,my boy, it's been awhile! What brought you here?" Jack smiled and nodded towards me. "Thought I'd have you meet her, she's just like me, north! Nobody can really see her, but she can see me!" Jack seemed excited but I still didn't like the fact that nobody could see me. North walked up to me and patted me on the head. "I see! The man in moon has mentioned that there was going to be a new protecter! Makes me wander if he will make her a guardian." He chuckled in the deep voice of his. "Might want to get her some new clothes though!" I looked down at myself. I was wearing a dress that reached the tops of my knees, it was white with faded flower designs at the bottom. It had a couple grass stains but I kinda likes it. "No thank you sir, I like my clothing" he laughed loudly and patted my back with a force that almost brought me to my knees. "Ok, champ! But if you ever change your mind just come tell me!" I smiled "Ok, thank you." I yawned deeply, starting to realize how tired I was. North started laughing again "Well it was nice meeting you... Uh.."
"Oh, you can call me Dawn"
"Ah! We it was nice meeting you Dawn but I think we should all get some sleep" I yawned again and nodded in agreement. Jack and I went back outside, I grabbed his arm and waited for us to be in the air. "Oh? Is someone starting to like traveling by wind?" Jack asked with amusement in his voice. "No I just want to get back to the forest and sleep."
"Your going to sleep in the forest?"
"Yeah, I like it there."
Jack chuckled and we took off. I gripped him and closed my eyes until we hit the ground again. I thanked Jack and he was gone in a blink of an eye. I looked for my tree I had slept on earlier and was surprised when I found it. There were two hand-prints made out of flowers blossoming on the tree. I smiled to myself. So I did do something to it. I curled up by my marked tree and fell asleep within a second
