Love is unfair. Love is unnecessary, heartbreaking, terrible and cruel. Love is all horrid things crushed and packed into one belief. The question is though, is it worth the pain? Because buried beneath all the hate and gore, is something so overwhelmingly beautiful that most can't even comprehend it's magnificence. It's striking gold after years of digging and sifting, it's that one small yet bright glow amongst the blackest of skies, it's finding that feeling inside your self that you were sure could never exist so strongly. It was there, and it was sickeningly gorgeous.

Jack didn't know whether to feel fortunate or less for the blessing, (and/or curse,) that had been bestowed upon his fragile heart. He knew it was the right thing to do, opening that container, but... was the right thing the best thing?

He tossed all of these sappy, (though emotionally effective,) thoughts into the back of his mind, dreading the moment they would be brought back, but anticipating the moments soon to come.

"Guys, it's Jack!!" The small Bennet boy's face lit up at the sight of the winter spirit approaching. 

His friends surrounded him, eyes bright and smiles priceless. Jack landed swiftly, immediately running his staff along the ground, creating snowballs in it's wake. As the battle began, he spotted Pends not too far way, giving Sophie a ride a couple of feet up.Signaling her in, they both quickly joined in on Jamie's team.

After an hour or so, the snow war turned into a snowman competition. Jamie, Sophie, and Jack started to roll out the bottom, the middle, and the top.Once they got the main shape, conversation began as they worked on the details.

"It's so cool that your actually a guardian now, Jack!" Jamie exclaimed as he searched for any sticks that would resemble arms at any extent, "What do you like, do, exactly?"

"Well.." Jack scratched the back of his neck. " Basically I now have a limit on school days per city. Which blows. Plus it's pretty tiring considering I have certain deadlines concerning when and where it needs to be cold and/or snow, but," he shrugged, a smirk plating at his lips, "I'm not exactly one to follow the rules, am I?"

Jamie giggled in response and shook his head. A few minutes later, he instructed his younger sister to go into the house and search the fridge for something to help sculpt the face. 

"Oh!!" The older Bennet exclaimed, a bright smile filling his features, "I forgot to tell you! My cousin is coming this week!!" Jack grinned warmly at the boy's excitement. 

"Yeah?"

"Yeah!!" Jamie bounced a little, clearly excited for this mysterious cousin of his to show up. "His name is Sebastian, and he's moving here to stay with us until he can afford to be completely on his own. He's traveling all the way from Norway!!" his heart skipped slightly, but Jack chuckled, packing the snow around the snowman's middle.

"Is that so? Where exactly in Norway?"

"This little old town called Berk." And at that, Jack froze, turning to stare wide-eyed at the boy.

"...Berk?" He squeaked. Jamie raised a brow.

"Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's what it was called. Why?"
