Chapter 7

Nick's Point of View

Sleep came quickly to me that night, but it felt short. It felt as if I slept for only an hour, until I heard someone knocking on my door. When I looked outside, I could tell that it was almost dawn and I couldn't help but feel annoyed at being woken up at this hour. When I open the door, Daisy was standing in front of the open doorway, looking as if she was going to knock again. Before I could ask what she wanted, she put her fingers to her lips and beckoned me to follow her. With reluctance, I followed her till we got outside and asked her my question.

"Can I ask why you woke me up and where are we going?" I asked, trying to fight off sleep.

"I thought you would want to watch the sunrise" She answered, leaving me dumbfounded.

"You woke me up just to see the sunrise?" I questioned, feeling even more agitated.

"Yes, and also maybe we can go exploring. I still haven't been everywhere here and so I thought you would like to come. I mean it's not everyday that someone new comes here, especially one that was chosen by Man on Moon. I wonder if you were chosen to be a Guardian and if so what Guardian would you be? I wish I was chosen to be a Guardian, I mean it's fun being a nature spirit, but I want to do something that will help people, you know? Oh we best hurry if we want to see the sunrise at the best place to watch it!" She replied, and was surprised on how much she talks.

While we walked, I thought of what Daisy said about Man on the Moon choosing me for something. I have been sick all of my life and now that I have an opportunity to do something important, I'm nervous of what it could be. If I am chosen to be a Guardian, then why me? I'm not a nature spirit and I'm not that great of importance. Then I started to think of last night, how Pitch chased me throughout Burgess as if to him, I was someone important. What's more terrifying is that it seems his master thinks I am important too.

"Hey you ok?" Daisy asked, breaking me out of my train of thought.

"Oh... Yeah, just was thinking." I answered.

"Am I talking too much? I usually do when I get really excited and it usually annoys everyone. If I am annoying you, just tell me and I'll be quiet." She asked and then went on a little bit more, and what she said kinda made me feel guilty because I was kinda getting a little annoyed with how much she talks.

"Oh no, your not talking too much." I lied, with a reassuring smile.

"You don't have to lie, I can tell when somebody is lying, but thank you for not yelling about it like Adam, he's always shouting." She said, and then remained silent until we got closer to our destination.

Daisy led me to one of the tallest towers on Raina's home, and created vines to carry us up to the top. Once we were up there, it was like looking at a picture of a time in the past. It could have been fake, but it looked as if we were in the middle of an endless forrest, where nothing else in the world could be seen. When the sun rose into the sky, I had to admit that I was glad Daisy woke me up to see it.

Jack Frost's Point of View

I came back to Raina's home after doing my usual rounds of making sure that there was snow where it was needed. It was kinda nice being on my own, it let me to think about everything. Just when I thought that we would be fine for a little while, Pitch comes back to do everything in his power to hurt everyone, including Raina. I wished that there was time for Raina to recover after everything, before we went out to fight again. Being with Raina this past month has been one of the happier times, but even though she won't admit it, I can see that she is still in pain. After everything that has happened to her, it amazes me how strong Raina is about Pitch. However, it makes me wonder if it ever comes down to it, will she stop her own brother from ever hurting anyone ever again? Now with the boy Nick, who's clearly been chosen by Man on Moon, will he fight with us? I've been in his place, and I know how scared he must be after everything, but is he the right person to help solve our problems? These questions have kept coming back into my mind that it resulted in more questions than answers.

I walked into Raina's home and realized that the sun had not risen yet, which meant that everyone was still sleeping. Well, almost everyone.

"Your up early." I said to Raina after finding her in the library, staring at her globe.

"I couldn't sleep after all the excitement." She said with a small smile as I took her hand.

She looked at me questionably, but I just nodded my head to indicate for her to follow me. We walked out into her gateway version of her world, where there was all the seasons behind one fence.

"Jack what are you up to?" She asked, suspicious of my motives.

"It's been a while since we last ice skated and after all the crazy events, I thought that it would be a good idea to have some fun." I answered, handing her pair of skates.

She looked at the skates, hesitating a little at the thought of having some fun. She looked like she was going to let go of them, but I had other ideas.

"Come on, even Mother Nature can have fun once and a while." I encouraged, and she then sighed and put the skates on her feet.

We spent the morning skating on the ice, throwing snowballs at each other, and doing other snow weather activities. It was the first time in a long while, when I saw Raina truly smile, which made me smile even more. Then, while Raina was ice skating, she slipped and fell into my arms, which I used to hold her tight.

"Thank you." She said, and I knew it wasn't for keeping her from falling.

"Your welcome." I said, and we stayed like that for what seemed like eternity.

Author's Note: Helloooooo I'm back! Well I'm sorry for the late chapter, but with lack of reviews, starting college, and a little writers block, it's kinda hard to keep up with this story. Now that doesn't mean that I'm not going to continue it, it just means that without reviews, I'm not sure if you guys even want to read this story and so I thought it would be best to wait till I got a review to post a new chapter, and since that still hasn't happened, I decided to just post one. So plz review your thoughts of the story, any ideas will be taken into account. I do know where I want to go with this story, but I can use the ideas incase I get writers block again. Ok I'm done now, but I would like to see reviews before I post a new chapter. Thanks guys.
