"mystery in the snow" jack frost x reader (guardian)

let me heal you

 Jack's POV:

years had passed after I saw her and over time I also had forgotten about her too, making kids happy was always too much of a responsibility.

I could find her time to time, but when I'd get a glimpse of her she'll disappear out of sight. and I thought it was always because she sensed me, I never got to even have a closer look not that I wanted to she can do whatever she wanted but something inside of me made her my ambition to finally get to see her again one day.

at least a bit still and her being oblivious of my existence.

the inner wish somehow one day came true, I was landing down to burgess to snow and thought if I saw Jamie I'll say hi to him it's just being a year since we defeated pitch anyway. but when I finally spotted Jamie from afar I saw a silhouette of a girl beside him whispering something in his right ear. I instantly hid trying not to be sensed and tried to get a closer look.

it was her.

"rosella quartz..." I whispered to myself, just then she frantically looked at her sides as if she sensed someone and instantly flew away I felt stupid for doing that, but it's not like I said it intentionally. I flew to Jamie with a frown as he embraced me with a hug.

"Hi, Jack !"

" uh..." I couldn't say anything I was too busy thinking where she could've gone and why does she keep doing that...

"uh, jack? you look lost..." 

"uh, yeah yeah I'm fine" I snapped out if it. "it's just that, did you see that girl by your side or something?"

"a girl? no, I've been alone her with Sophie for a pretty much the whole evening..."  he looked at the sun that looked like it was going to settle in 30 minutes.

if Jamie didn't notice her, then she isn't...believed in.

"Hey Jack can we play?" his voice and eyes suddenly galvanized with excitement. so I decided it would be fun like it always is.

"you dare challange the master of the snow?!" I smirked collecting the snow from my behind into my hand into a ball.

after a couple of minutes of playing in the snow, we both got exhausted so we laid in the snow. we suddenly heard someone crying Jamie got up to look it was Sophie and after some time he came back with a rabbit in his arms that looked hurt.

"hey..."

"jack this rabbit looks hurt" I saw Sophie at his side who had tears in her eyes looking at me.

"is it wounded ?"

"yeah look." he showed me the wound "and it's really cold it probably couldn't find a place to hibernate or something..." Jamie tried to guess looking down at it." oh um..." before I could say something their mum called them to complete their homework so I decided to tell him this

"hey you go do your homework and tell your sister jack frost will take care of the rabbit, okay?"  he rushed to his house with Sophie trying to comfort her.

I sat on the snow with the rabbit not knowing what to do the only thing I could think of was taking it to norths to have it feel warm, but I was too cold for him I guess." you're going to be fine" I assured the animal. before I could stand up she popped out from nowhere her eyes fixed on the rabbit she looked hurt and worried, while I looked only at her millions of questions still racing through my mind. she landed on the snow wincing on the pain the snow gave her and placed her hands on the wound, her palm glowed from the place it touched and she closed her eyes, after a couple of seconds later she lifted her hand from it while my eyes not lifting from her. 

"please take care of the rabbit," she said lowering her gaze. he was going to slowly fly away as I grabbed her arm.

"but what do you do to heal yourself?" my tongue slipped letting out a piece of my mind.she looked surprised for a bit. she didn't snatch her hand away from me till I loosened my grip, and let the bunny go. and flew right in front of her.

"if you won't let others heal you, how will you heal?" she looked at me directly for the first time. 

Intentionally.

"wounds..." her soft voice making her appear more fragile than the rabbit  she said "aren't buried deep till you want them to" she was going to fly away again when I grabbed her again by the arm " but what if I want to completely heal you?" I said directly looking at her, her chin dropped to her chest. 

"rose what happened between you and pitch...?" I asked her softly, tears started to stream down her face, and that wasn't a good sign she's the toughest I know. Pitch has been doing something else to her too. 

anger boiled in me but seeing her weak form only hurt me more than anything.

"Rose..." I gently asked her again she moved her arm a bit I realized she was too weak so I pulled her into a hug and removed all the snow from all around her as we floated above it.

she breathed deeply and looked at me with her teary eyes,  we sat down on the soft grass and she told me everything that happened between her and pitch.

and then something more.

"after that, I knew Pitch wasn't going to leave me very easily I hid in the thickest of the forest  but he always knew where to find me  I couldn't hide in places that were wintery because they weaken me but that's unless I have to heal, few minutes wouldn't harm..."  she sighed  and looked at the side blankly her head dropped hopelessly.

"he has harmed me a lot...in ways, I didn't even he could, I wasn't ready to confront him...ever. he always took me by surprise" "I knew he was going to hurt me by hurting the animals and that's something I can't control, no one sees me, I have no one to talk to....I'm basically invisible and vulnerable." " but I don't care about that if the animals are okay so am I but if they're not I'm torn"

I tugged a few strands of her hair behind her ear and said " why didn't you wanna talk to me about it?" she suddenly straightened her back  lifting her chin the way I always saw her I couldn't help but smile "because I never trusted you...or anyone at that place....but that's until I saw you with the kid..."

I smirked and then remembered what she was doing with Jamie

"oh speaking of which, what were you doing to Jamie?"

"that is sort of a power can whisper in kid's or adult's ears to give them ideas of how to give others happiness or just make love prosper between any relationship he has mother, father, sister or brother. just to make the world a better place."

it was enticing to see someone like her, both tough and soft.

I've never seen anyone like her.
