Chapter 15

3rd POV

Jack laughed as he twirled in the air, snow falling around him as it layered the ground below. He enjoyed winter, loved seeing the happy faces of the children who played in his masterpiece. The wind swirled around him playfully causing him to flip once again and laugh.

Though there were no children now for him to play with as night had fallen and the moon's light basked the earth. He was alone once more with only the wind to keep him company and instead of letting the sadness cling to him he decided to head north. There was a workshop for him to try and break into once more.

It was a game for him to see how far he could reach inside before the yeti's captured him. A laugh escaped his lips as the wind pushed him faster towards his goal. He had become friends with some of the yeti's especially one named Phil.

"Jack! You are back so soon!" Joy - Phil's mate - exclaims happily as he lands on her windowsill. He found it amazing that North supplied his yeti's family's homes while they worked.

"Hi Joy, I decided to try another tactic to keep Phil on his toes!" he laughs while swinging into the kitchen and settling into the chair. He only tried to break into the workshop anywhere between six months to two years, he didn't want to get Phil into trouble nor did he want to face North the lead man of the guardians. After all Jack has heard stories of the Cossack and he was worried what the man might do to him.

"You need food, I can hear stomach!" Joy scolds while she hands him some already made salad. She always found it odd that he didn't eat anything but vegetarian food, after all yetis eat a minimal amount of meat but he won't touch anything that's come from an animal bar eggs and milk.

"Oh. Carrots! Thanks Joy, you always look after me, you even taught me yetish!" Jack laughs as he munches on the carrots from the salad. He didn't know why he loved carrots and the sorts over regular food, even enjoyed them straight from the earth more than anything.

"You are welcome Jack, now can you take Phil his lunch while you go pester him and the others?" She asks while holding up a basket, she would normally do it but it would save the trouble of her walking all the way to the work shop with the other ladies to give their men on break lunch.

"Sure thing Joy, see you later!"

Joy leaned out the window as soon as Jack was up in the air, "don't take another two years to come visit young man!" she yelled causing Jack to laugh as he flew towards the workshop to start his fun.

He had only managed to break into the first level before he was captured, he didn't even manage to get a glimpse of a toy. When the workshop finally came into view Jack smirked and dived down into the snow. He had to sneak up to the door or window before trying to get inside instead of just flying right to it; so with a little chuckle Jack shifted the snow up and around him to form a snowman.

Opening his eyes he quickly cast a look around and began to slowly shift his way towards an open window. Why there was an open window so close to the ground he didn't know but he wasn't going to not take advantage of it.

"He-Oh hi Phil!" Jack waved sheepishly as his body was yanked from the snowman.

Phil raised his brows and shook his head before placing Jack back on his feet. His eyes scanned the boy quickly before landing on the basket that he had carried.

"Joy sends you with lunch? Come jack, we will talk… and discuss your flaws in trying to break in again…" Phil sighs before gesturing the sprite to follow him to their little seating area away from the workshop. Not many yetis understood why Phil was friends with the supposed troublesome winter sprite, but Phil could see the loneliness in the child's heart.

"Tell me Jack, why do you break into the Clausian? I know you want to see inside but why come to spend time with me?" Phil asks heavily, it was a question he always asked and was never expecting a reply. It was a question Jack avoided or just simply didn't know how to respond.

Jack took a deep breath and shook his head, "I don't know. At first it was to see the workshop and you threw me out, you saw me, gave me a gift." Jack chuckled as he gestured to the blue hoodie he now wore. His long leather cape that he woke up in was in tatters and was unable to be fixed.

"You and Joy are the only friends I have…" he whispers sadly, his eyes dropping to his hands.

Phil looked down at the boy in fondness, how could anyone not love this selfless boy? He knew that other spirits put in complaints to North because of his element and mischief, but how could they not see his boyish heart? Of course he was older than he looked, Phil could sense that he also knew the boy was older than he could remember but the constant joy and mischief was to mask unknown pain and loneliness.

"You know Jack; you always welcome to visit. Joy loves seeing you, makes her happy. Come often, we can teach you more yetish." Phil tells him honestly, it truly did make his mate happy and when his mate was happy so was he.

Jack looked up at the yeti with a blinding smile, he knew he was always welcome but he knew the other yetis didn't like him as much as Phil did nor did they like the fact he was friends with him; that he knew how to understand them too. "Thanks Phil. So tell me, what did I do wrong this time?"

Phil chuckled and began to explain what the winter spirit did wrong; pointing out what he could have done instead which would have gotten him into the first hall. Jack listened with a smile, savouring the advice of someone he considered a friend and mentor before he had to leave again.

After all he still had other places to bring snowballs and fun times across the world.

A/N: Ahhh! I know, it's been like a week or more? I've been stuck! STUCK! I'm going to do sandy next!
