(RE-WRITING)Beneath the Cold Surface [ Rise of the Guardians || Jack Frost ]

Chapter 3

"You didn't need to do that!"

"It was my last resort.... ",he said scratching the back of his head.

"I'm pretty sure kissing a girl is not the only way to get her attention..."

"It was the only thing I could think of"

"But you really didn't need to-...to kis-", you finally got back to your senses and you were about to hit him with your fist but his cold hands stopped you. You sent another fist using your free hand but he caught it again. Both of your hands were already in his so, you just kicked his leg as hard as youcan causing him to let go of your hands and yelped in pain.

"Now, aren't you way too violent for a girl?", he said raising an eyebrow.

"It's your fault for picking a fight with me", you replied coldly averting your gaze with a "hmph".

"When did I ever picked a fight with you?"

"The moment you barged into my room", you quickly replied without even thinking.

"No, YOU started it", he said picking up his staff that he left leaning against the wall when he kissed you.

"What?! I don't even know you! And I'm 100% sure that I've never met you before!", you whispered-shouted trying to avoid getting the attention of your parents once more.

"Guess I should at least tell you who I am...I'm Jack Frost", he said leaning his staff on his houlder.

"And you expect me to believe that?", you raised a n eyebrow.

"Are you challenging me?", he asked leaning closer to you.

"And if I say I am?", you crossed your arms.

"Well I just made the snow in your room, the frost patterns on your window, and also the frozen parts of your floor"

"Do you have any proof?", you challenged him.

""Want me to show you?", he asked with his mischievous smile as he leaned closer to you.

"Show me", you demanded, as you focused your gaze on his eyes. Your faces only an inch away.

"Okay", he went to your window and tapped it with his staff and frosts started to appear. He drew a dolphin on the frost with his hand.  He touched it with his left hand and it came to life. It swam throught the air in your room. You were amazed as you followed it with your gaze. It circled above your head then exploded into tiny snowflakes. You were too amazed that you didn't realized that you were actually smiling. You looked at Jack who was wearing his mischievous smile. He seemed to be amused by your expression.

"Fine, I'll believe you....for now", you said sitting down at the edge of your bed.

"What are you saying? You already believed in me even before I showed you that!", he said floating towards you.

"What?",

"Well you see, people won't be able to see me unless they believe in me. That's also why your mother can't see or hear me, and so since you can see me and hear me...that means you dobelieve in me, Jack Frost!", he explained.

"Just what are you?",you stood up and walked towards your winfow on the other side of the room.

"Me?I-"

"No, the wall behind you I'm actually asking the wall because I don't know what it is", you said sarcastically interrupting him.

"Are you even planning on letting me finish?",

"Go ahead, just can't stop my tongue",

"I'm a guardian,specifically I'm the guardian of fun, y'know like Santa,the Tooth Fairy and the sandman",he said examining your room.

"They're real?!", you asked. You got a little excited, the child inside you got revived again. You've always been a little kid somewhere in your soul also because of your little sister.

"Yeah they're real", he replied smiling looking back at you.

"How about the Easter Bunny?", you curiously asked.

"Oh yeah, forgot to mention the kanga- I mean the Easter Bunny is also real",

"I'm just curious, are there other people who can see you?", you asked leaning against the wall near your window.

"Yes there are, mostly kids...well I'm one of the guardians of childhood afterall",he replied facing you. The moonlight shone on his face giving you the opportunity to clearly see his eyes. His eyes were blue with glints of ice. You've never seen such beautiful eyes before.

"Then why?",

"Huh?"

"Why are you here? As you can see I'm a teenager and I'm not really in that stage to balieve in fairytales... and I believe that a guardian of childhood wouldn't normally barge in a teenage girl's room just to pester her. "

"I already told you didn't I It's because you picked a fight with me?", he smirks.

"What? I've never believed in you before now...how could I pick a fight with you?", you asked curiously leaning against the wall beside your window.

"May be it's just because that was pretty insulting", he stands next to you facing the moon outside your window. His left hand in his hoodies pocket and the other supporting his staff while letting it rest on his shoulder, he looked at you.

"What do you mean by that?", you asked again. You were very curious that you forgot all about your anger...at least for now. HIs statements just kept on leaving questions in your head.

"You know this morning when your sister was like Who's Jack Frost? and then you were like No one, it's just an expression", he said trying to imitate your voice. Now you remember what he's talking about. "That's not nice saying that I'm just an expression!", he reclaimed like a little child.

"Oh...", you sat at the chair beside you.

"Don't you have anything to say? Like SORRY"

"Like hell I'm gonna apologize to some perv like you!",

"What?! I'm not a perv y'know! Well yeah, I was really planning to make fun of you-"

"What?!", you whispered-shouted keeping your  voice down. "So you were really conspiring something?!"

"Let me finish first... as i was saying I was really planning to make fun of you but then,...  you said my name...I saw you reach out your hand outside your window, then you seemed to be trying to remember something, something important. I was curious what is it that you wre trying to remember then you said it...you said my name like it was something important...", again his mischievous smile was on his lips,"And here! Looks like I ended up making you believe! "

"Just one more question....",you cleared your throat."How the heck did you get in here anyway?!"

"Well when you closed the window you didn't lock it", oh yeah...that was stupid of me you thought to yourself.

                You yawned and your eyes were getting heavy. You felt sleepy, you just had a fer hours of sleep so... You tried to keep yourself awake. Everything went blurry and you saw his figure walk towards you, and the last thing you remember was cold arms wrapped around you.
