Black and Blue

The sun suddenly was down and I was no longer on the bench.

"Wha?" I muttered sitting up. I shook my head to free it of drowsiness and started to fly back to the guardians, wondering if they were even worried about me.

"If they are..... Good." I muttered. I stopped flying and I started to walk around wasting time. Why is Jack so mad? Is it because I was with Pitch? That I gave in? Oh, whatever…

“Hollow! Where the hell did you go!” I heard Jack yell. I sighed and started walking the opposite way that his voice came from. I stopped as my head hurt. Flashes of a school popped up in my head. Also a house, a nice one mater of fact, appeared. My head stopped hurting and I looked around. I heard Jack call my name again. I continued to look around. I quickly spotted out the same home that was in my mind. I noticed an open window. I flew up and through the open window. I quietly walked down stairs and saw no one was home. I lingered around then found pictures. I gasped when I saw me with blonde hair. I looked at more pictures. All the sudden I knew about my family. My mom, my dad, and my twin brother… A gust of cold wind blew in. Shit, Jack is here. He walked into the room I was in.

“Found you, finally. What are you doing here?” He asked I could tell by his voice he didn’t want to be looking for me or talking to me, he is still mad.

“I-I saw this place in my head, so I came in threw the window.” I said in a hushed tone.

“Wait a sec… this is the home of that little girl who could see me… Her name was Alexandra…” Jack said.

I thought really hard then it came to me.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“Mommy! It’s snowing! Can I go outside?” A 6 year old girl yelled.

“Sure and wait for brother and daddy to get home too.” Her Mom yelled from the kitchen. The girl ran outside without shoes and onto the lawn. She ran around aimlessly just being a crazy kid. She collapsed on the ground and laid on her back looking at the sky.

“Little girl should get some shoes on.” A voice unfamiliar to her said. She jumped up and turned to face a boy with white hair, a blue hoodie, a staff, and some brown pants.

“But you don’t have any shoes on.” She said.

“You can see me? Hear me?’ He replied.

“Yep.” The young girl said with a smile.

“What’s your name? I’m Jack Frost.” He said leaning on his staff.

“I’m Alexandra, call me Alex though.” She said smiling even more.

“Hey wanna have a snowball fight?” Jack asked.

“Yeah!” Alex yelled.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“Holy crap. I’m that girl.” I mumbled.

“What?! How?!” Jack yelled. Just as I was about to say something the front door opened. I turned and tears threatened to fall. Dressed in black walked in my family. My brother held a most recent picture of me with dyed pink hair. Their faces were sad but my parents looked as if they didn’t care that much. My brother face was tear-stained. He quickly ran upstairs to his room. I flew after him not listening to Jack calling me back. Gavin, my brother, set the picture on his desk and then sat on his bed. What did I do? I left him to deal with his problems by himself. The troubles of bullies, school work, and our parents hounding him to do more.  Maybe if I could just get him to see me… I sat on his bed in front of him.  I sat my staff across my lap and thought for a second. I smirked as I noticed our favorite thing to do together, listen to music. I grabbed his iPod and put it on full blast and played my favorite song. Black and Gold by Ellie Goulding. I set it down as it started to play. Gavin looked up shocked then looked around. He blinked a few times then looked straight at me.

“A-A-Alex…” He whispered. I nodded slightly. He jumped up and attack hugged me. I giggled and he let go of me.

“What? How? Why?” he asked.

“Ok I am dead. I am no longer Alex I am Hollow. And I am the spirit of Halloween.” I said. Jack then bust in and looked at me like I was crazy.

“Gavin you remember that story I wouldn’t stop telling you when we were little. The one where I met Jack Frost.” I said and he nodded.” Well know it’s your turn just believe in him.” I thought for a second then he blinked and looked around. His eyes widened and he mumbled.

“Jack Frost…” I smiled and looked at Jack he was shocked but I could see he was slightly happy on the inside. I kinda explained some things to Gavin but I was interrupted by Jack. He seemed mad at me again. He said we needed to head back. I sighed and listened promising to visit Gavin every so often. We left after.
