Flames and Frosts: An Opposite Couple

Chapter 5

JACK

As I was carrying her, I felt bad. She said it was painful. When I landed, I saw 4 people waiting for us. 2 girls and 2 boys. I guess that Cupid was the one with pink, short, curly hair with a long sleeved pink shirt and a bulge skirt with pink boots. I guess that Breeze was the girl with long, blonde hair and a long white dress, her dress has some kind of 3D wind effect. Her hands were intwined on the boy that I guess he's Benji since his outfit was made of Earth. He has brown boy cut hair. Beside Benji, I guess that it's Aqua since his outfit was made of the blue color. Color of the ocean and his hair was soaking black. "Hello, Jack. I'm Cupid and these are Breeze, Benji and Aqua." Cupid introduced themselves with a Irish accent.

"A little help with Phoebe?" I asked.

"Come with us." Benji said.

While we're walking, Cupid and Aqua were looking at me and Phoebe. "What are you looking at?" I asked.

"I felt a strong bond with the two of you." Cupid said.

"What bond?"

"It was like the two if you are mates. Just like me and Cupid, and Benji and Breeze." Aqua said.

"Phoebe's my mate? Come on, I hate her and she hates me. We hate each other." I snorted.

Cupid looked at Aqua and he nodded. "Jack, we'll talk later." Cupid said. Great. We went to the protective garden where there are many plants surrounding us and a marble floor in the middle. There is a big metal basket where the woods were. Benji made the woods together and formed a some kind of bonfire. Breeze made an air base where I laid Phoebe for her to heat up. She groaned again and twitched a little bit. Then, I saw a scar on her right hand. It has some kind of mixed up of red and black sand. But, I ignored her. "Guys, can you give us some privacy?" Cupid asked Breeze, Benji and Aqua. All if them nodded and left the two of us alone. I looked at Phoebe and she's beautiful. Believe me, as much as I hated her, she's still beautiful. "I sensed a strong bond between the two of you." she sighed.

"I told you, Cupid. We hate each other."

"I know you hate each other. But there's one quote that says about that. "The more you hated that person, the more you love that person." Even though the two of you hated each other, there's a little spark of love somewhere inside. Maybe I should tell you now, on what Manny said to me."

"What is it?"

"You and Phoebe were meant to be. You two will become mates."

Ice cold of shock and fury were ready to explode in my body for hearing on what Cupid said. "WWHHAATT??!!" I yelled.

"Shh!! You'll wake her!" she scolded me.

"Why didn't you tell us? Why did HE tell you, not us?!"

Cupid rolled her eyes. "Jack, I'm the Guardian of Love. It's my responsibility to see love for humans and other Guardians. I will decide on when to tell."

"But.... But, we're different. Ice melts with fire. Fires were weak during cold seasons. Ice were weak when it's warm seasons! That's the reason why we fight." I protested.

"Is that why you fight? You want to fight with her because you like her? You want to fight her since you want to play. I bet that you missed that fight of yours when the two of you met each other. Jack, your fight with Phoebe was a playful one. Isn't it?" she raised her eyebrow.

I thought for a moment. Maybe Cupid's right. Maybe because I want to play with her. Maybe because the fight was the only one that makes me happy. "I..... I...." I can't answer. She won.

"I can even see your thoughts for her, Jack. You were in love with her. You just didn't want to believe on what you felt for her."

I looked down. "What did I felt for her?" I asked.

"You really want to know?"

"Yeah."

"You're in love with her, Jack. You said that she's cute when she rolls her eyes. Her eyes were pretty too. You felt happy when you and Phoebe were fighting. You want her back, Jack. You want her back. I know that you haven't felt it yet, but it was breaking free." she explained.

I'm in love with her? The exact opposite of me was my mate? You've got to be kidding me. "I.... I never felt like that. But I was thinking of her. Maybe you're right. Maybe I do have feelings for her." I frowned.

"That's the thing I've been looking for." Cupid smiled.

Then, I heard a knock on the door. It was North. He was depressing. "North? What happened?" Cupid asked.

"Sandy....... Sandy died." a tear fell.

"WHAT?!" I yelled.

"Pitch. Pitch killed him while we were killing the nightmares." then he gasped from the back.

Me and Cupid widened our eyes. We looked at the back and saw Phoebe stood up. But, she has changed. Her hair became black, shirt, pants, and her boots were black and she has a long cloak. Her skin became pale and worst, her eyes became full yellow. I mean her whole eyeball was yellow. "Phoebe?" I asked.

"What happaned to her?" Cupid whispered.

"Jack Frost, Cupid Love, North Claus, Master Pitch wants me tell you how BADLY he wants to see your faces after on what happened to Sandy." she snickered.

"Master Pitch? He turned you to this?!" North widened his eyes.

"Heh." she laughed. Then things went fast. She blew the place with fire. All I can do was making everything to ice. But it was so hot that I can't make everything cool. "Jack! Do something! This is not her! Wake her up!" Cupid yelled.

"Call the others! I'll take her outside!" I yelled back. North and Cupid went outside the room and I let Phoebe follow me outside. I landed on the snow while Phoebe landed at the other side. "Phoebe! This is not you! You've got to wake up!" I yelled.

"You're not my Master! You're Jack Frost! Enemy of my REAL master, Pitch Black." she growled.

I can't take it. Pitch has gone too far. "Phoebe! Please! Come back! Come back to us! Come back to me! I need you!"

Then she frozed. She raised her left hand and made a fireball but her right hand stopped her left. She was fighting back. Then, she closed her eyes. When she opened it, her eyes returned to normal and so was her appearance. Then she fell. "Phoebe!" I flew toward her.

She looked at me in the eyes. "Thanks....... for saving me, Jack." she smiled. That smile. I never seen her smile.

"Your welcome." I smiled back.

I smiled. Maybe Cupid's right. Maybe we're meant for each other. The other Guardians came and Cupid smiled. "Looks like Jack saved the day"

"But-" Bunny protested.

"Why? Jelous?" I laughed.

"No. Not at all." Bunny growl.

I looked at Phoebe and she just smile.
