Do You Believe? (Jack Frost x Reader)

Chapter 6

  Long eyelashes fluttered delicately over (e/c) orbs filled with the dreary effects of sleep and bewilderment. With a light yawn that escaped dry lips, you sat up, the thick fur blankets that covered your torso slipping down and crumpling at your waist as you took in your surroundings.

You were laying upon a large cushioned sofa in a large room with the scent of mulled wine and cranberries filling the air. From were you sat, you could see the large windows looking out on the beautiful snow filled scene on the wall straight ahead of you. To your right was a roaring fire beneath a mantel piece decorated with holly and tinsel, and in front of that was a large fur rug. You let out a small and satisfied sigh. It was warm and cosy in the strange room, beneath the thick blankets.

"WAIT! WHAT?!"

You frantically tried to scramble out from beneath the blankets, tumbling onto the floor as a result of your panicked actions. The blanket landed on top of you, covering your head, but before you could lift it off, the large set of wooden doors across the room creaked open. You peeked out from beneath the blanket, only glimpsing the empty doorway before the door shut again. Your brows furrowed at this before you let out a strangled gasp, for a weight had just dropped upon your back and would not budge.

"G-Get off!" You exclaimed, as you heard a familiar chuckle, and instantly your expression hardened. Your jaw set as you shifted your shoulders and rolled over, yelling, "I said, GET OFF!"

The boy crouched upon your back let out a gasp as he lost his balance and tumbled onto the ground next to you. You untangled yourself from the blanket before launching yourself at the boy, wrapping your arms around his waist as you both tackled each other across the wooden floor. It ended up with you straddling the spirit of winter, fists full of his hoodie as you glared sharply at him.

"Okay! Where the hell am I?! And were you trying to break my back or something, you idiot?!" You yelled furiously, your anger evident through your tightly clenched fists, and blazing glare. Jack seemed to be startled by this, but smirked and simply leant in and nipped your nose.

You squealed and threw yourself away from him, you face red and your chest heaving, as your hand clutched your nose as if it had been broken. Jack laughed, finding this fairly amusing as he got up and brushed himself down. He then walked over to his discarded staff, leaning against the sofa, kicking it up into his grasp.

"Hey, (y/n). Need a hand?" He questioned as he approached you and offered his hand. You had been going cross-eyed at the time, trying to take a look at your red-tipped nose, for even though it had been bitten softly, the sensation was so strange you didn't even know how to react. For a second, your nose was so cold, you thought it was burning. But the effect wore off almost instantly, and you let out a sigh of relief before glaring up at Jack's signature smirk and his outstretched hand.

"No, thank you." You stated firmly, flicking his hand away from you before standing up and straightening out your pyjama top. You stalked straight past Jack, heading for the doors, but a cold grip caught your wrist, causing you to jolt backwards and stumble into Jack Frost. You gritted your teeth and recovered your balance before turning to face him, your glare as piercing as dagger.

"What now?!" You growled angrily, trying to yank your wrist away from him. He was probably the most annoying person in the whole world. Jack simply chuckled and let go of your wrist gently, moving his hand to rub the back of his neck.

"Um, well I came to give you those~" He explained, pointing towards the sofa. You hadn't noticed the pile of clothing folded on top of the cushions while you had been throwing a hissy fit. "Oh...." You mumbled before your eyes widened as something dawned on you.

"The children! Where are they?!" You exclaimed, racing to the door bare footed, and shoving it open with ease, of which just added to Jack's shock, for he had no idea how to react to your sudden outburst, and just remained where he stood with wide eyes. His reaction wasn't much different to yours as your gaze fell upon your surroundings.

"Santa's workshop...." You muttered in awe before your eyes set upon the large globe in the centre and the familiar figures gathered in the room closest to it. You leaned over the balcony outside of your room, deciding to make your way down there and ask the big man himself before you realized a major detail. There wasn't a staircase leading up to the room you had been staying in.

"What is this?! Some sort of prison cell?!" You exclaimed fiercely before hearing a chuckle behind you. "Jack. What the hell is the meaning of this!?" You turned to him, eyes flaming with fury. "Where am I?! Where are Eva and Joe?! And why the heck aren't there any stairs?!" You interrogated him as you stormed over to him and pinched his ear, causing him to let out a yelp. "You haven't answered any of my questions, you ass!"

"Ow! Hey, (y/n)! Calm it! This room is North's special room! There's only one way in and out and it's a secret passage to stop trespassers getting in! The only reason I can get up here is because I can fly!" Jack explained angrily as he pulled your fingers tips off of his now reddening ear. "Jeez...Girls..." He muttered, causing you to throw another glare at him, still reasonably pissed off, for he had only answered one question.

You then stroked your chin gently, wondering why it was you were allowed to camp out in such a room. But then your jaw set stiffly and you simply hardened your gaze. You were in this room simply because you wouldn't be in the way, right? That was it.

"UGH!" You let out a cry of frustration, and to Jack's dismay, smacking your head on the door before a flash of green caught your gaze. You spun around to face the item, of which was a hovering green disk, controlled by a small joystick held by one of the abominable snowmen things. Your eyes shone and you ran back over to the balcony to spy a good few of the hovering disks, all of different colours. An idea struck and you eyed the toys with a curious eye, but then let out a sigh. Far too dangerous. You didn't know if you'd be able to grab one, let alone if it'd support your weight. You'd just get Jack to take you down, seeing as he could fly.

"Wait?! You can fly?!" You exclaimed, turning to the frost spirit wearing a pair of wide eyes and a gaping jaw, for it had only just registered in your mind. Jack laughed in reply and rested his staff onto his shoulder.
"Y'know, (y/n)... You're pretty slow~" He commented, and your eyes instantly narrowed, irritated by his words. Jack met your irked glare with a mischievous grin.
"You want to have a bit of fun, (y/n)?" He questioned approaching you. You cocked a brow and pointed towards the doors.
"Um..I should get change—-" You began before Jack grabbed your thighs, and threw you over his shoulder. You let out a squeak kicking your legs frantically.
"W-What do you think you're doing?!" You yelled, your cheeks flaming with embarrassment. You only gained a laugh in response before Jack poked your foot with the tip of his staff. "You're not as heavy as I thought you'd be!"

At this, you began to thump his back once or twice. "How rude!" You huffed angrily, "Now, put me down." You ordered, already annoyed but that was quickly replaced by the tidal wave of shock that flooded through you when Jack launched himself over the edge of the balcony. Gravity caught you both in it's grasp as a scream erupted from your throat and you grabbed Jack's hoodie as if you were holding on for dear life, but Jack also had a firm grip upon your legs, so it was doubtful you'd separate from him.

You stomach rolled and did a flip as you fell, and yet you were suddenly falling....in the opposite direction?

You opened the eyes you had clenched shut to see the room travelling spinning around you and the threat of throwing up became evident. You quickly grew used to the churning motion of your organs before letting out a piercing scream.

"JAAAAAAACK!!"
