Jack Frost

I jog down the grey-ish hill, the cold evening air whipping my white hair around. Even if the wind doesn't bother me, I still shiver. The eerie feeling in the air dances around me, suffocating me, almost. I shake my head and finally get to Willow's house. I knock a few times before she answers. She smiles and I walk in.

In the corner is Nick, Willow's little brother. He looks at me with dull grey eyes and smiles. "Hey Jack."

I nod my head and walk to the back, where Dylan and Zion are. They glare at me as I walk in. They've never liked me. I have no idea why. I might've dumped snow on them once or twice, but that was it!

Willow comes in after, closing the door tightly behind her to make sure Nick doesn't come in. He can still hear, which doesn't make any difference in my opinion. I'd let him in here, but they don't think Nick should know any of this. The kid probably knows every detail.

Once Willow starts to talk, it all goes downhill. Zion makes a smart remark, which makes Willow snap at him. Dylan tries to calm everyone down, but Zion yells at him to shut up. Amon, another guy who doesn't like me, yells at Willow. Then I can't follow anymore. I slouch in my chair and stare out the window.

We're supposed to overthrow Pitch Black and his daughter, Rapunzel. But if we can't get through a strategy meeting without fighting, I have a feeling we won't overthrow them.

Pitch Black is the king of all five kingdoms that take up most of the world. There are still small kingdoms that Pitch hasn't taken yet, but they're on his agenda. I'm sad to say that the kingdom I live in, Burgess, was one of the first kingdoms to be taken by Pitch when he defeated the Guardians. After Burgess, he moved on to the over four; Anorac, Liminia, Daloon, and Parveil.

We're hoping to get Burgess free from those two monsters. If Burgess is free, maybe the others will fight along side us. They'll help us, and finally, after eighteen years, we'll all be rightfully free.

Free. The word swirls around my head. Free from the nightmares. Free from fear. Free from it all.

I can't wait.

"Jack!"

I'm pulled back into reality. Everyone has their eyes on me, as if expecting some answer.

"What?"

Amon laughs. "This bloke doesn't even pay attention! How can we rely on him?"

I inhale deeply and push it all away. They won't say that when I'm leading them all to victory. When Rapunzel and Pitch are dead.

Willow ignores him and softens her grey eyes on me, the way she does whenever she talks to me.

"You know that were invading today, right?"

I nod. Amon laughs, but doesn't say anything.

"Well, you're not coming with us."

Willow bites her lip. What? How can I not? I'm the last Guardian! I have to help fight!

"But-" I start, but Willow cuts me off.

"We have another plan for you."

"What is it?"

Willow looks away from me. She obviously didn't agree on this plan. I wonder how much yelling it took for them to convince her to say yes. As I look at the frown deep onto her face, I'm guessing alot.

Finally, Dylan speaks up, smirking as he does so. "You're going in to kidnap the princess."

What? No way. I shake my head at him.
