Winter Wonderland

1

It was a winter night where I fell. I cried tremendous tears that night.
I found Winter disgusting, and looked at it as such a miserable thing.

My parents died on a Winter Voyage. Since then I have seen Winter as a such a murderous season.

One day when I was 6, I believed that I could escape the Winter ... by running endlessly. But I just found myself in an even bigger Winter environment. I sunk down into the snow and I see the black leafless trees caving in, the snowflakes try to seep into my skin.

I cried ... and cried.

"Lost little one?"

I jump in alarm, who said that? Who's there?

I spot a young man. He has silver hair, pale complexion, icy blue eyes with a blue hoodie and brown jeans.

"Who are you?" I ask.

"I'm Jack Frost." He responds with a smile on his face, "Come over here, I won't hurt you."

I tremble, "I-I can't the trees will hurt me."

Jack wryly laughs and pats the trees and says, "The trees won't hurt you. They are just asleep, they will awaken in Spring."

"R-really?"

"I will protect you if they do."

I slowly walk to Jack unharmed, but I was still vigilant and afraid.

"Where are we?" I ask.

"Winter Wonderland." He replies, "Special people like you can only witness this."

I stayed silent, I didn't know what to say back.

We continued walking through a small path the was nearly covered in snow, we tread quietly until Jack stops.

"Here is my limit. Keep walking and you'll make it to the main village." He tells me.

I raise an eyebrow, "Why do you have to stay there?"

Jack smiles and says, "Well I am different from you ..."

... He must be lonely.

"I am going to come back tomorrow. Bye." I say softly and run off.
