(I DO NOT OWN ANY OF THE EXISTING CHARACTER EXCEPT MY OWN AND THIS STORY! OPINION NOTED PEOPLE! They will bond some. But either the next chapter or the chapter after, Darkness is gonna have his own chapter in his own domain and you guys will either love him or hate him. And sorry I didn't update yesterday. I was busy. And this will be the only update for today as I am going with my younger brother and two friends to see Rise of the Guardians again. I'm the only who has seen it in the group. Lol!)

How Do You Love Someone?

Chapter 8 - Snow and Beliefs

After that, Jack had only seen Fey once for a few minutes as she hurried past him to deal with nightmares the children were having. Tooth had taken her back to the Tooth Palace and from there, she was sent back and forth everyday between the guardians with a constant home. He couldn't keep up with her between the kids and the Guardians, and he actually started to wonder if she was trying to avoid him as he walked down the sunny main street of Burgess. A laugh drew his attention to the park where kids currently played his snow. And it wasn't a snowball fight without Jack.

The winter spirit quickly sprung into the battle and started a free for all even pulling a few slightly older kids into the fight when a 'stray snowball' hit them in the back. It was fun and the kids that could see him failed in their attempts to hit him. A swing of his staff brought more ammo for the kids and he scooped his own into his hand when his perfect snowball hit the ground and broke. Snow stuck to the hair on the back of his head. Jack spun on his heel and was quickly pelted on the forehead with another snowball. No kid had aim that good.

Fey was kneeling on the edge of the frozen fountain. Her imps weren't in attendance so he had feeling she wasn't working. With a snort he tapped his staff on the ground and the tree nearby dumped it's snow on her white and black hair. She gave a displeased sound and shook it off before glaring at him playfully.

"You, Snowy, are gonna pay for that."

"What about you? You started it." Fey looked slightly offended.

"Nope. The little rascal with the sled did it."

"Jaimie?" Jaimie had only Jack gotten body shots before. Turning Jack was pelted with a third ball of snow. Once again, the snow dropped of his matching white hair and Fey cracked up. She was very good at being a trickster. Instead of taking the time to make ammo, he leaped at the girl and she fell backwards in shock as they landed into a snow drift. Together the wrestled and only stopped when Jaimie called his name. Both immortals had looked in the boy's direction before returning their attention to each other. Fey was pinned under him with her hair fading into the snow and frost had formed on her top and the edges of her skirt. What caught him off guard were the gold eyes, cat like, and shining in mirth.

"Jack!" Jaimie had called for a third time, "Where are you Jack?" The white haired boy stood and lifted Fey from the snow as he did. Brown haired Jaimie had jogged over laughed as he told Jack about the fun he was missing while rolling in the snow by himself. A glance at Fey showed the slight sorrow in her face at the boy's inability to see her. But it was quickly wiped clean as her attention fell on Jack.

"I'm glad to see you're the one who holds his nightmares at bay. He dreams of having fun with you every day and he hasn't been afraid since" her fingers passed through the boys hair as she made to ruffle his hair. Jack spoke up.

"Hey Jaimie. Do you know there is a spirit of Halloween who likes to play pranks on adults?" his question shocked Fey and Jaimie gave him a strange look.

"I never heard of a Halloween spirit."

"Well buddy, she's real and she's standing right next to me. She keeps kids like you safe at night" Jack laughed at the boy's confusion and requested her close his eyes and believe.

"Hey Jack? What are you doing?" Fey's voice slightly cracked. It looked like she might cry. She probably would if this didn't work.

"Was that her Jack?" Jaimie heard her. But he still had his eyes closed. Fey knelt before the boy and gently reached out to touch his hair once more. This time her fingers came into contact with the boy's mop of snow soaked locks.

"H-hi Jaimie. I'm Fey" she still sounded like she wanted to cry. Jack crouched beside her and placed a hand at her back.

"You're pretty." Jaimie had finally opened his eyes and saw her. Her first believer. And it was thanks to Jack. Fey hugged the pale boy before holding out a hand to the child before them. Jaimie hugged her after she admitted she was the one who pranked the old woman that yelled at him whenever she could get away with it. After a moment of questions and short answers, Jaimie ran back to his friends, probably to brag about knowing another spirit before they did. Fey stood with Jack's hand as assistance and gave him a second hug.

"Thanks Jack. I never thought that a child would see me. But you got him to believe just by telling him about me." She had muttered in the blue sweatshirt as Jack hesitantly returned the hug.

"Its nice to be believed in. Even if it's only one child." Jack admitted to her and she nodded before pulling away.

"I thought you were busy lately" Fey looked a bit embarrassed as she replied.

"I was. But then North figured that Darkness was trying to tire me out and demanded I stop. So Bunny took over commanding my imps for a while." she laughed, cheeks still tinted pink. Bunny and little dark fairies were a little hard to put together. They didn't match up at all.

Not long after, when it started to get dark, a baby tooth stopped by to fetch her for North. It was his turn apparently and he enjoyed her being around. It was probably like having a daughter to him. Just like how he always seemed father-like to Jack. In some way, Jack wondered why she never stayed with him. He had a home he had formed over the years in the stone cliff next to his lake. Sure it wasn't North's Workshop or Bunnymund's Warren but it was home. He would ask North about that later.
