we are the cold

friends for life

~the next morning, 3th person P.O.V.~

"Hey Jack! Wanna meet the other trainers?"

Hiccup asked the winter spirit, who was surprisingly very active this early in the morning.

"Yeah, sure."

He stood up quickly and followed Hiccup, Merida and Rapunzel to the arena, where they now trained dragons instead of killing them. Snowblade followed Jack everywhere he went, but in front of the arena the dragon came to an abrupt stop.

"It's okay. Nothing will happen."

The dragon continued to follow, but much more warily. Inside, the other trainers were making themselves ready to go for a flight.

"Hiccup, i thought you were spending time with Merida and Rapunzel today?"

"I'm going to, but i want you to meet someone first. This is Jack. Jack, these people are Astrid, Snotloud, Ruffnut, Tuffnut and Fishlegs."

Jack waved an awkward hello to the teenage vikings, who mumbled their greetings.

"How did he get here? Look, he even is more of a stick then you are!"

Snotloud was once again, bullying a person. Jack thought he reminded him of Bunny.

"Don't mind him, Jack. He just thinks that this makes him cool."

"Believe me, i've seen a rabbit that is more taunting then he is."

"What, hey guys, this twig and i are going to fight! Right now!"

Jack seemed really unimpressed by this.

"You don't have to do this, you can just walk away."

"Don't worry, Rapunzel, i can handle him."

The teens made a sort of circle. Jack knew Snotloud had a small brain, really, just picking fights with everyone, come on! As expected, Snotloud just ran to Jack, ready to hit him in the face with his fist. At the last moment, the teen grabbed Snotloud's fist and squized it, causing the boy to yelp in pain. Frost emitted from his fingers, making the hand have beautiful blue patterns. As soon as Jack saw that, he let go immediatly. Snotloud sat down, watching the frost melt with a pained expression on his face.

"Sorry..."

Jack ran from the arena, frost following with every step he took.

"Jack, wait!"

Hiccup shouted after him, but he was already gone.

"We 'ave ta look for 'im."

Merida said, looking back at her two friends. Nodding they ran of to thier dragons. Snowblade was confused because he didn't see his friend with them. But he saw that it was urgent so he followed the other three and their dragons.

"Where could he have gone to, Hicc?"

"I don't know Mer. Maybe Snowblade knows. Snowblade?"

Happy to be in charge, the dragon flew off to Dragon meadow. There, he stalked off to the tree they slept at. Jack sat on the cold ground, mumbling things to himself.

"True... mistake.. mess wherever i go... not worth it... dangerous... bringer of death... ."

Snowblade sensed Jack's sadness and curled up against his side and nuzzled his cheek, but Jack didn't notice.

"Jack, what are ya all sayin'?" Merida asked.

Jack looked up, and everyone could see that he had cried.

~Snotloud P.O.V.~
[Bet you didn't see that one coming ;-)]

I watched as the beautiful, but painful fern-like frost patterns slowly melted after Jack released my hand. I feel something that i have never felt before. I feel like i should protect him against everything that wants to hurt him, because when i saw the sad and shocked expression on his face, a small part of me shattered. I think it are my old brother instincts that are acting up again. My brother, Stankloud, died when i was seven and he looks like Jack alot, so it is logical. I already lost one brother, i am not losing this one too.

~With the teens, Jack P.O.V.~

I sit under the tree and remember all the times other spirits called me dangerous and the bringer of death. Every time i would say it wasn't true, guess they were right after all. I am dangerous, i am the bringer of death, i am a mistake. Why wouldn't i believe it if everyone i've ever met says so? I feel something curl around me, but i ignore it as good as i can, maybe then they'll leave and if they do so i can't hurt them. "Jack, what are ya all sayin'?" Merida? What is she doing here? I look up and see not only her, but also Rapunzel and Hiccup. The something that had curled around me was Snowblade. I sniffled as i petted his head, preparing myself to answer. "As you already know, there are others like me. But they hate me. These things i must have been saying, were thing they called me. And they are right." "Jack, don't you even dare to say that ever again! You are kind and caring! Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Got that." I lookad at Rapunzel in shock. I've never seen her so serious. I wipe away the remaining frozen tears from my face and stand up, trapping her in a hug. It felt relieving to hug someone. Soon, the blonde hugged back, and after a few seconds, Merida and Hiccup joined too. I tried, but couldn't contain the smile that made his way on my face. Together, we walked back to the village. I was tryin to apologise towards Snotloud, and he strangely enough forgave me instead of mocking me. He even patted my back before he left. "Is it a trap?" "I don't think so, he isn't smart enough to think about that. I might even suspect that he might want to befriend you." I look at him in shock. Snotloud, wanting to befriend me? Strange.

~ at the end of the week with the Guardians, 3th person P.O.V.~

The Guardians still hadn't given up on Jack. Every day, the four legends would enter the sleigh and search the globe for their winter child. A week had gone by since Jack had fled, but they had no luck. "North, today we are going to search at Iceland." North gave the rabbit a questioning look, but led the reindeers into the ditection of their destination. Tooth and Sandy just sat in silence, finding comfort in it. The golden man had lost his lively glow and now the sand didn't look golden anymore, just a dull yellow. Tooth was screaming inside her head, screaminh for her sweet tooth to return so she could wrap him in a hug and never let go of him anymore

~Merida P.O.V.~

"How about we go exploring?"

"That's a good idea, Hiccup! Jack! Do you know a place?"

"Yeah, i do, Merida. Iceland is pretty cool. Maybe we could take the others too?"

I agree and we go to collect the others. We're going to Iceland!
