A/N: Hello all. :) This is the first clip of this story 'The Fight for Christmas' as you saw in the trailer, Jack Frost convinced Rudolph to run away...after events happened. This clip from one of the chapters is that scene. Let's see how it plays out. Enjoy. :D

Rudolph spent the last few hours crying his eyes out in the village, no one paid him mind, except for giving him dangerous glares and some shook in fear, he looked over at a group of yearlings laughing and playing, they stopped and ran off at the sight of Rudolph. He came across an elf girl, she gasped and ran off.

"Stay away from my daughter you monster!" the mother shouted, making Rudolph cringe, he moved on he looked to see no elves singing the carols for the village to hear. Everyone always picked up the spirit when they saw him, but now...everyone is shaking in fear or giving him dangerous glares, as if he's an example of a bad spirit of Christmas! It saddened Rudolph greatly, but he has no idea how in the world it's come to this, he was an example of the Christmas Spirit, but no more...

'What's happened to me? What in the world have I become?' he thought sadly as a tear rolled down his face.

He thought of all the good times he's done with others, all of the generosity times, the joyful times he's had and all of the joys he's brought to others, it just made him sadder than happy, so guilty, has a huge burden on his shoulders, everyone seems to hate him, Santa, his parents, including the very doe he loved his entire life. The poor reindeer walked on through the village as someone stalks him from the shadows, smiling evilly to himself feeling no shame as he watched the poor spirit.

Rudolph sadly walked into a dark cave, extremely sad, not wanting to be around anyone, his heart aches with pain and sadness as salty tears roll down his face, completely broken. His hoofs shook greatly, shivering for the first time in the North Pole as an adult, he felt so lost, so cold, so alone.

Suddenly...he felt a presence. He looked up at the wall and saw a shadow, he looked behind him, but saw no one, he raised an eyebrow as he sniffed.

"Wh-Who's there?" Rudolph asked in a broken tone.

"Why it's none other than me, Rudolph," said a voice that made Rudolph's eyes widen and pupils slightly shrink in shock. He looked in front of him to see Jack Frost standing in front of him, the reindeer stood up as he wiped his eyes.

"Jack Frost," Rudolph said, trying to glare, but he lost it, "Wh-what do you want?"

"I happen to come see if you're all right," replied Frost, "Saw you coming here and decided to have a little chat with you."

"And do you happen to consider what you've done to break the Council's rules?" Rudolph asked, slightly glaring again.

"And I do regret my actions..." Frost said, frowning, "I...I should never have done it...what was I thinking?"

"Thinking of overpowering...everyone..."

"Dear boy, are you all right?" Frost asked, seemingly concerned. Rudolph slightly froze, remembering all that's happened. More tears rolled down his face, he whimpered before Frost placed a hand on his shoulder.

"N-No..." Rudolph replied sadly, still in the same tone.

"Why, what's wrong? Isn't Christmas supposed to be the most joyful time of year?" Frost asked, raising an eyebrow, acting concerned, and Rudolph bought into his act.

"N-Not this Christmas..." Rudolph said, sobbing slightly, "I wanted this to be the best Christmas ever...but..." He sobbed, Frost gently wrapped an arm around him, "This one...shall be remembered as the worst Christmas in all of history..."

"And why is that so?" Frost asked, frowning a bit.

"I...I don't know what's happened to me..." Rudolph sobbed, "I...I was the prime flier for Santa...all for what I've done that one Christmas...I was loved by all..." He paused, sobbing more, "But now...I..." He walked off a bit, Frost slightly smirked before he began acting 'concerned' for the reindeer.

"You're not loved anymore, now are you?" he asked.

"N-No...not anymore..." Rudolph said sadly, "This is the worst day of my life..."

"Poor Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer," said Frost, "I guess you've clearly messed up, and you have no idea what could've gone wrong."

"Everyone hates me, even Zoey," Rudolph admitted sadly.

"Ohh, dear," said Frost, frowning, "That is terrible. But...there's something you should know." Rudolph slightly looked at him with a huge frown and Frost said, "Sometimes things aren't as they seem, sometimes there're things that just aren't meant to last forever."

"But I hoped everything I had could..."

"Everything you had isn't what it seems anymore now does it? You're no longer a Flier, you lost many things you hold dear."

"Do not press it on me anymore..." Rudolph said, slightly glaring, but lost it due to sadness.

"I'm not trying to press it on you anymore, but you just may be facing the inevitable. Things start to crumble under change, Rudolph, and you know things change in the future."

Rudolph frowned even more, slightly crying again, "I wanted change for the better..."

Frost sighed, "And I know it has just backfired, something obviously wants you to take a different path."

Rudolph suddenly realized he just kept talking to someone who's been causing trouble in the Council's business, he just felt so guilty he couldn't think straight, he suddenly snorted and retorted in a sad tone, "Why in the world am I talking to you?" He began walking, "You're a traitor and should be serving your time now."

"And where do you think you'll go?" Frost asked, casting a bit of Dark Magic to corrupt his thoughts, "To hang out with the very ones who did you wrong? The ones who stripped you of your title and all now reject you?"

Rudolph froze, "B-But..."

"They obviously don't want you anymore...I saw how hard their eyes were towards you, not wanting anything to do with you, why would you want to go back to people who attacked you?"

"And what do you think happened?" Rudolph asked, slightly glaring.

"I have no idea, I just heard the workshop and house was trashed, but I wasn't told of anything else," said Frost, "You should know the truth Rudolph, I figured you should know."

Rudolph seemed to think it through, though his guilt and the dark magic in him is messing with his thoughts, he began to think no one ever truly wants him anymore, stripped of his title, the wedding called off, everyone disappointed and angry at him. Rudolph collapsed and sat down on the floor, sobbing.

"Y-You're right Frost! What should I do?!" he cried out in pain and anguish.

"Maybe the answer is to just leave, Rudolph, try and get away from all of this and have nothing more to do with them," said Frost, casting more dark magic on him.

Rudolph sadly looked up at him, "Where do I go?"

"Anyplace far away from here," said Frost, "Away from all of those who did you wrong."

Rudolph sobbed, "Why...are you..."

"I'd hate to see you gone, Rudy, you're a great kid," Frost said sadly, brushing Rudolph's tears off, "I think you need this, start a new life and not come in contact with them again."

Rudolph's guilt overwhelms him, he sobs again, completely broken, Frost wrapped a 'caring' arm around him and said, "Rudolph...you can decide to go and leave all this pain behind...or you can stay in the pain and never be forgiven..."

Rudolph sobbed even more, he thought some more, he looked up and said, "I...I must leave...I...need it..." he lowered his head as his ears drooped, Frost was cheering on the inside but he kept himself looking sorry for Rudolph.

"Well...if that's what you want, I won't stop you, but I do wish you luck in the future..." Frost said sadly as he could. Rudolph nodded, he looked up at Frost, nowhere else for comfort, he grasped Frost in a tight hug, sobbing onto his shoulder. Frost was surprised by the reindeer's action, not expecting a hug, but...trying to be caring, Frost reluctantly hugged back, Rudolph sobbed onto him what seemed like forever before he broke free and said "Goodbye Frost...if they do even care to ask...tell them that I love them and I'll never forget them...but that I need to move on for better things."

"I will," replied Frost. Rudolph nodded before he hugged Frost again, shocking the Icy Man of Winter again, but before he could hug Rudolph again, the reindeer left wiping his eyes. Frost felt a warmness come to his heart, he felt a twinge of sadness as well, but his heart hardened and he began chuckling.

"Yeah, poor Rudolph," he said to himself, "Poor foolish reindeer." He chuckled again as he watched Rudolph head back to the village.

A/N: How did you like that huh?! :D Poor Rudolph... :( I hope you guys are looking forward to this...but I'm having some writer's block...God please help me...and I wasn't able to make the story as long as I had hoped...but I hope for it to be good...it probably won't be as good as Betrothed but I hope it's better than the first two.

Anyway, please review. :D
