Mythical Frost

Chapter 5

Myth's POV

I was staring at my ceiling. Today, Jack and I were going to go freeze the Southern Hemisphere. I was excited and upset at the same time. Excited because of snow and Jack, upset because of Jack. He didn't come talk to me after my ranting yesterday, and so far this morning he's been MIA. I sighed and just changed into my snowman suit and walked out of my room and went to Jack's door. I knocked lightly.

"Jack? Are we still going to go freeze the Southern Hemisphere?" The door opened and there stood Jack. He had this look on his face.

"Yeah." He walked out, with his staff, and we left. The wind took us down and set us on a nice patch of snow. "Time to have some fun." And away Jack went. I tried to stay close, but ended up losing him. I sighed. Maybe he did that on purpose?

"He probably did." I jumped and turned. It was Horror. And since we were in a crowd of people, I couldn't do anything. He walked over to me. I just walked away, but he followed, close.

"You heard him. He hates you. He'll always hate you. Making him the perfect candidate to take you down." I stopped in an alley.

"No you won't Horror." He smiled as the darkness began to surround me. I glared and let the light from inside overcome the darkness.

"Oh, yes I will." I glared as he disappeared. I walked out of the alley and started looking for Jack. Where did he go. I need to stay by him to keep Horror away from him. I closed my eyes and focused. Winter laughter, snowy fun. I felt something hit me in the face.

It was cold and started to drip down my face as it melted. It was snow. I opened my eyes and there was a little kid and he looked sorry, next to him was Jack, who had a small smirk on his face. I grabbed a hand full of snow and smiled at the child who smiled back and got ready to run, I chucked the snowball and it collided with Jack's face.

"Ow. What was that for?"

"Wow lady, you have really bad aim." I smiled.

"I guess I do." Jack glared as I walked over and sat on the wall behind him. I exhaled and allowed the Winter chill to enclose me. It felt nice.

"What did you hit me for?" Jack asked, wiping some of the snow from his face.

"You put the idea in that child's head. You knew he didn't have the arm strength to hit his original target and knew that it would hit me. It was payback. And where have you been?"

"Causing flurries." I opened my eyes and glared at him.

"I'm serious Jack. Where were you?" He looked up at me.

"Why do you care?" I slid off the wall.

"I saw Horror." Jack stopped.

"He's here?" I nodded. "Is he still after me?" I looked at Jack.

"Stay by my side or try and keep me near yours. He's after you because of your already bitter feelings towards me and he can use them against you." Jack nodded and put the staff in the hand closest to me.

"Hold onto it." I nodded and reached for it, but a dark shadow began to appear beneath Jack.

"Jack!" I wrapped my arms around him and pulled him out of it as Horror came out of the shadow.

"Nice save Myth. But I will get him. And he will help me defeat you." And he went back into the shadow and the shadow disappeared.

"Th-Thank you My-"

"I'm sorry Jack, we can't stay here. We have to return to Mythica."

"But My-" I glared.

"It isn't safe Jack. I know it's keeping you from your duties, but I can't do anything about it." Jack glared and as soon as I let him go he went off. "Jack!" I tried to follow, but he sent a flurry into my face and he was gone. "Oh no." I hurried home and set off the Summer Lights and soon everyone was there.
