Do You Believe? (Jack Frost x Reader)

Chapter 12

  Eyes welled with tears as the light burned into the cerulean orbs, the albino flinching away from his friend, a hand flying upwards to shield his eyes. He peered through his fingers at the girl, now frozen in mid-air, arms spread out like wings, and the most beautiful glow framing her as the light shot from her chest. It was stunning. She looked like an angel, framed with light, with such a soft smile on her face. 

Meanwhile, another being tried to retreat from the piercing light, it's gaze tearing through his comfortable layers of darkness, and it felt like he was burning up. Pitch let out a growl and gave a final attempt to reach for the girl, but alas, he wasn't even close enough to touch her foot. With a howl of frustration, he turned to his forces, all of them cowering away from the threat the girl held. His attention drifted over to the Guardians in the sleigh, all of them now joined together as they watched in awe. And then he drew his eyes upwards towards the sky. Though it was mostly covered by the dull clouds, the Northern Star could still be seen, smirking down at the Boogeyman, pride welling inside her as she continued to sing.
A deep breath left your soft lips as your chest rose and fell gently, your eyes fluttering open. Everything seemed to have slowed down, and you suddenly felt lighter than air. It was as if you'd been thrown into a warm pool of water, drifting beneath the surface, as those around you remained blurred to the vision. Your hair floated about you, tangling with the light you emitted from your heart.
The starlight.
"It's...it's my heart. The starlight is...my heart..." You whispered, exhaling a small sigh of happiness. You'd found the source of your power, although your centre still hadn't been made clear yet. But no sooner had you begun to wonder, your vision cleared and you could easily see Jack, who hadn't left your side though the tears streaming down his face were evident. Your gaze tailed over to the shocked Boogeyman, who turned tail and began to flee the scene, his nightmares and fearling men swarming together to meet him.
"Oh, no...You don't get off so easy..." You murmured before the light exploded around you. But that wasn't what amazed the Guardians. It was the creatures trailing out of the light now swirling around your head. Tigers, lions, bears and wolves erupted from your mind, followed by airplanes shooting bullets of light, and birds with their talons outstretched. Greeks threw discuses after the retreating forces and elven archers took aim before firing a wave of arrows at the Nightmares and Fearlings. Those of Pitch's forces that were hit and attacked by your light simply dissolved into it, and now stallions of pure white joined the Front Lines, chasing away the foe.
Pitch rode on his fastest nightmare, his breathing shallow as he fled the scene, eyes wide as he steered his Nightmare straight up towards the clouds. He shouldn't have underestimated the human girl. He had none to blame but himself. But he did not linger and simply vanished into the darkened cloud above, the tiger at his tail now clawing at it.
You exhaled a final breath as the light suddenly shot back into you, and the only light now was that of the Northern Star above, still singing her sweet song that filled your ears. It wasn't a second later that gravity now grabbed you and began to pull you back down to the snow-covered ground, your eyes fluttering closed. But, when you fall came to a halt and you felt a pair of arms envelope you into a warm embrace, you peeked through your lashes to see the soft smile worn on the frost spirits face as he held you close. You wrapped your arms around his neck and laid your head in the crook of his neck as he rubbed your back and flew back inside.
------------------------------------------------------------
Heavy breathing echoed around you and you couldn't help but express a twinge of fear as goose bumps rose on your neck and arms. Your eyes darted this way and that, but all you could see was that empty black void. Well, you hoped it was empty. Although that heavy breathing was still putting you on edge. Was there someone – something else there?
A scream caught in your throat and you choked as a pair of golden eyes glared at you through the darkness, seemingly appearing out of nowhere. You gulped and backed away from the breathing that grew louder as the eyes grew closer. It was then that a twisted grin glinted in the light.
Wait...light?
You looked down at your chest again, your heart beating profusely as you began to sweat. A hand drew out of the darkness and snatched your wrist while you were distracted by the unnerving dim light your heart emitted out of your chest. You inhaled sharply, attempting to wrench your hand away, but an arm wound its way around your waist and pulled you into the throbbing darkness. Your face hit a firm surface, and as your heartbeat began to flutter; panicked, the light grew stronger, and Pitch Black's face was illuminated above you.
You screamed and struggled to escape his hold, but it wasn't long before your face was forced against his smooth chest, your eyes clenched shut.
"Girl, don't think you'll be able to escape me. I lurk in every shadow, every dark corner. And in your nightmares. I will have you." He whispered into your ear before pushing you away from him, and your back hit a surface of water, immediately enveloping you into its cold embrace, Pitch's distorted grin the last thing you saw before you closed your eyes, and sank into the deep.
--------------------------------------------------
A sigh escaped your chapped lips as your eyes slowly blinked open, your body already aching even though you had only shifted slightly in the bed. Your body felt damp and clammy, and the nightmare still rang clear in your memory, as most nightmares did. You had always thought it rather ironic. The dreams we most enjoy are the ones we're least likely to remember, whereas nightmares still haunt your memory for days and perhaps weeks, maybe even months and years. In any case, despite your body's constant complaining, you sat up, not wishing to go to sleep again for fear of another visit from the Boogeyman.
Instead, you distracted yourself by glancing around your surroundings, lighted by the warm glow of the fire to your right.
"Oh..."
You were back in your 'prison cell', though you weren't exactly as angry about it. You had come to feel rather special by the fact that you were sleeping in a room so precious that it had its own secret entrance. A smile tugged at you lips as your gaze flickered past the window, framing the night sky, over to the chest of drawers and you noted the pile of clothing there for you, accompanied by a plate of cookies and a glass of milk. Untangling yourself from the thick blanket, you stood up, finding yourself only dressed in your undergarments with a familiar blue hoodie clothing your torso. You cheeks burned at this and you quickly scrambled over to the clothing, ignoring the pain shooting up your side.
You fingers trailed over the soft material and you let out a soft sigh as you thought back to that morning.

"Let's get you all dolled up!"
You instantly grimaced but instead of arguing just gave a shrug, deciding it'd be best to let the Tooth Fairy have her fun. After all, she was the only girl of the group. Hanging around with those guys all the time without another female must have been tiring and rather dull. So you began to dress yourself, slipping on the woollen tight, before pulling on the large baggy trousers that clenched at the ankles and waist, buttoning up just underneath your breasts. The Tooth Fairy giggled, pointing out that you have put on the vest and blouse first. You agreed with a weak grin before allowing her to assist in dressing you torso with a white vest and a cream, Victorian styled blouse that buttoned up from just beneath your chin, to your hips. With her help, your bruises didn't throb quite as much of which you were grateful for. Then, you pulled on the scarlet waist jacket, leaving it open before the Tooth Fairy attached a long, matching cloak to the waist jackets shoulder pads.
"You look lovely." The Tooth Fairy breathed, patting your cheek gently and you couldn't help but grin sheepishly, mumbling a word of thanks.

(Short hair) She then picked up your brush and ran it through you cute, (h/c) locks, before ruffling it slightly, to allow your hair some volume.

(Long hair)She then picked up your brush and went on to comb it through you luscious, (h/c) locks before she pulled you hair up into a bun, allowing some strands to lay loose around your face, the Baby Tooth Fairies soon using their tiny hands to curl the loose strands.

Once she was satisfied with you hair, Toothiana picked up your eye liner pencil and mascara and after asking you to close your eyes, which you did, she soon trailed a thin and precise line along the edge of your eyelid before flicking it off gently at the end. And then you opened your eyes to allow her to spread mascara across your lashes, framing your glittering, (e/c) eyes, before she picked up the (colour) lipstick and painted your lips. With a somewhat excited mind-set, you ran to the mirror once she was done, and almost didn't recognise the gorgeous woman standing before you. The transformation was unbelievable. Not only did you like cool and sexy, you also had an elegance about you, and in Tooth's opinion, she thought you looked gorgeous, cute and stunning all in one.
"Thank you." You whispered happily.

The flashback ended when, speak of the devil, Toothiana flew into the room, smiling happily."Hey, you woke up early. It's 3am, you know?" Toothiana chuckled as she headed over to you. You shrugged, "Could say the same to you." You replied with a grin. Toothiana nodded, giggling gently before taking your hand. "How about, once your changed, we pay a visit to your brother and sister?"
Your eyes lit up and you nodded enthusiastically. "Please!" Toothiana grinned before patting your head. "Alright, get changed and then we'll be off~"
