Chapter 12: Rare Gift
You're searching for Jack Frost's mother for half an hour now but you can't still find her. You stopped, looked and listened but the only sound you can hear was the breeze of the frigid wind. You too got worried about the winter spirit's mother and started to think the worst but you fought it and didn't give up searching. It's not that easy since the woman's wearing a dark brown and forest became dark and quiet.
Instantaneously, you saw something moved below. Without hesitation, you swooped down and landed in the snow gently. You took out your weapons and made sure that it's safe around. You haven't forgotten yet about the Nightmare King. Then you heard a voice. A woman's voice crying for help but sounded hurt and weak. You ran and saw Jack's mother just like he described it. You saw her face and you knew that she was once beautiful. She's quite supple and graceful. You tried to hold her hand but you can't, then you remembered that you're a spirit.
"I need Jack…" you whispered. You left trailing on the way back thus you can return there without getting lost.
Her mom's running out of time, by the looks of it, she got lost and stranded in the cold, snowy forest. You flew as fast as you can and saw a light coming from the house and also got a sight of the boys.
"JEF!" you called out and the boy heard you and searched round.
You landed and ran to your son. Panicking, the kid widened his eyes when he heard the news. He looked at Jack nervously and said, "Your mother's hurt. (F/n) said that she needs you to see her right now."
Jack got startled and shook his head madly, "Wha- what? Why? Can't she just-"
"There's not enough time, she said. You need to believe in her right now or… or… your mother… will die." Said Jef and felt horrible about the predicament they're in.
The young guardian pulled his hair and can't think straight. He doesn't know what to do. He's afraid and confused.
The winter spirit's son grabbed his hands and that calmed him down. "Just do what she says…" he whispered.
Jack closed his eyes and focused. He tried to believe in you and kept telling himself that you're real and used the boy's description about how you look. Suddenly, he felt something soft and comforting. A hand cupped his cheeks. He slowly touched it and his fear just disappeared. He opened his eyes slowly and he saw feet wearing steel boots up to her knee with angel wings attached at the end of it. He can see your exposed legs and when he continued looking up he saw you in a warrior outfit with a red ribbon around your waist; But the one that got his attention was your white, astonishing angel wings.
He stared at it for a while and didn't notice that you talked to him. "Jack!" you yelled and he blinked a couple of times and stared at your light blue eyes.
"Can you see me?" you shouted but not madly.
"Ye… yes." He said almost breathlessly
You sighed in relief but you remembered about her mother. "Jack listen to me… we need to go now. NOW I say…" you said sternly and he nodded.
The little kiddo went in the house and searched for a thick blanket just like you ordered. Then he came back running while holding it.
"Thanks Jef. Now, stay inside and watch out for Pippa." You ordered and he obeyed.
The winter spirit gripped your hands tightly when you commanded him to "Hold on tight."
After a few seconds you lifted off and flew as fast as you can while holding on the young guardian's hand. You landed both of you gently on the ground and dragged Jack where his mother was.
The winter spirit's eyes widened when he saw his mother lying in the snow, unconscious. Jack whispered and her mother answered but not rather clear. The young guardian coated her mother with the thick blanket and carried all the way back.
The winter spirit's pretty strong and he carried her mother effortlessly. You guided them and took out your weapons while doing this. You brandished them here and there making the coast clear and secured.
You heard the young guardian coughed and gets weakening every minute. Finally after half an hour, all of you reached the house. Jef hurriedly opened the door and the winter spirit's sister, now awake, helped his big brother.
Jack put his mother down gently in the settee. Pippa has been taught by her mother to cook a little so she cooked a hot stew for her. Jack passed out without noticing and his sister didn't see it. You carried the winter spirit by the waist and went upstairs to his room.
Laying him down in bed, he surprisingly opened his bright eyes. He touched your cheeks and tried to say something but he's too weak. You shook your head and kissed his forehead. You backed away and saw that he's already asleep.
You stared at him for a couple of minutes and remembered what MiM said that you didn't tell the young boy, "Don't fall for him." You whispered.
"No… I can't… what have I done? Why did I let you see me?" you said shakily and covered your mouth and took a step back from him.
"If… If I fall for you again… I may not let you die in the lake…."
