Flame & Frost | Rise of the Guardians Fanfiction

No More Dream

Jade POV

Fire gusted from my fingers, an immediate reaction. Sadly, it made no difference, making me more anxious and shocked.
"What do you think you're doing?!" A half-opaque Jack Frost raised his hands in the air, his eyes widened as he gaped at me. Blood rushed through my veins, but my fingers and lips felt cold as I stood there with my arms apart. The fire I shot didn't seems to hurt him in any way, it just startled a part of him.

He sounded so real, his voice is clear and vivid. Yet, the flames that went right through his body and puffed fog, made me contemplate whether I should run for my life or stay. His translucent finger waved in front of my face when I froze, unable to move.
"Are you okay?" He blinked at me several times before pursing his lips. I was unable to process anything until a cold, icy sphere hit my neck and ran down my back.

I shrieked, jumping on the balls of my feet as shivers ran down my spine. Jack's thin lips tugged up in a smug smile, watching me ridding the snowball that came from nowhere.
"What are you doing? It's freezing cold out here and that snowball will only make it worse!" I complained, rubbing the slight freeze on the back of my neck. I shot a glare at him, a glare that soon turned into a gaze through his matte eyes. He stayed silent, only when the wind blew past us, it didn't ruffle his fresh white hair like it used to.

"Where have you been?" I whispered, a tear I didn't realise I had rolled down my cheek. "You're not real, aren't you? Is this the trick of light or something?" I chuckled a humourless one, trying to keep my lips balanced from frowning. "Or is that really you?"

He stared at me, blinking once in a while. I could see that he wasn't planning to speak, his matte pupils searched into mine. Our distance was enough to be called far, and the thought of being so distant is unpleasant and horrible. I spun to glance at his body inside the ice from afar, my heart clenched to think that he may not come back. "Come back to me, to us," My eyelids shut as endless tears started to flow.

What's more heart breaking was seeing him not there anymore after I opened my eyes. I found myself spinning in circles, trying to find him again. But the only thing that remained was the numbing cold that was still throbbing down my back. I sighed tears, my fingers swiping my cheeks.
It's daylight but you're probably already hallucinating.

Stepping away from the snow, I brought myself back home. I practically kicked the door open, being lazy than ever. Considering that my house was already tidy, I plopped my body onto the near bed, making it squeak loudly and shake. Before I knew it, my bed made a last shriek of goodbye thus disengaged into individual pieces. My back slammed into the thin mattress as it lay flat on the floor, making me take a sharp breath of disbelief.

"What the hell?! Why now, bed?" I groaned, rolling off the broken pieces, reaching my back to rub it. I raised my head only to find my curtain on my small window flapping, revealing the dimming sunlight and my eyes made eye contact with a pair of dark, feminine eyes that I recognized. My eyes widened, and when the curtain made its next wave, the pair of eyes wasn't there anymore.

I scrambled on my feet and bursted out my door, only to find the space outside my window vacant. My hand that held the knob of my door fell on my sides, air chilling my body when I called out the name.
"Alaine!" I called out and spun, only to have my hair flying everywhere. My eyes into slits, I sighed and shivered as a gust of cold breeze whizzed past me. I spun to enter my room again, the broken bed needs to be managed.

Turning around to grab and twist the knob, I suddenly took a sharp intake of breath. Solid was slithering up my calf and arm, rounding my chest, firm and tight. My hair was took in it's circle, gathering the strands together messily and was forcefully pulled back until I shrieked. The corners of my eyes spotted green, just as I was forced to spin, my back against the door.
