Black wings, Snow, and Sand

Chapter 1: I'm alone

I will always remember those last few days before I became a Guardian. My name is Jack Frost and I was created by the man in the moon. Why he did what he did I thought I'd never know until I met the Guardians...and her.

It was late April in North America, my home. I know it's supposed to be spring, but not were I'm from. The small town of Burgess, a place were winter is, basically, most of the year. It was the afternoon, which meant the kids were out of school, I knew they would want to see a snow day, and I was gonna give it to them.

"Snow day!", I proclaimed.

There's only one problem with me screaming that, nobody can see nor hear me. Even with that being true, I'm still going to have a little fun.

I started with chilling the air with gusts of wind coming from each direction, then worked my magic through the streets of the city. It was the perfect day for a snowball fight, my favorite part of the beginning of winter.

I spotted a group of kids near the pond, and one little boy who seems to stand out. He's reading a book about, what looks like, Evolution... Hmmm....

I look closer when he drops it trying to find his friends.

"That looks interesting", I say to myself.

" Come on Jamie! ", one of the only groups girls yelled to him excitedly.

Jamie looked up, then bent down to grab his book with excitement written across his face, he almost drops it again. After he steadied himself he grabbed a sled that was seated beside him.

" Your always reading man.", a young African American boy says to Jamie, who laughs.

" So, what do you guys want to do first?", says girl with a hat, that by the looks of it, was worn all the time.

" I don't know, maybe we could build a snowman!", a small blonde boy with glasses that were a little too big for his face, stated, and the others agree.

As they were scattering around to roll the three main parts for the snowman, I realize this would be the perfect time to throw the first snowball at unsuspecting kid. I roll it up then, to make sure it stays together, I blew a thin icy layer on it.

Whoosh! It hits Jamie in the back of the head.

" Ok who threw that!" He says while laughing. Then, he proceeds to throw a snowball at one of the others.

" Hey! ", they screamed playfully, and the snowball fight begins.

Snowballs went in every direction, some of them belonging to me. I didn't even know which one was hitting which, until one of mine hit a young plump girl in pink.

The children went silent as the, obviously angry girl slowly turned around, showing a small bright red face. I could hear the stunned children gasping, and whispering, they think Jamie threw it at her.

"He hit cupcake....", I heard one of the African American boys whisper to whom I think is his brother.

Cupcake look as if Jamie killed her puppy, but suddenly something changes in her expression, it becomes happier and lighter, and she starts to giggle happily. The others exhaled a sigh of relief, then started laughing themselves.

The snowball fight began again, this time Cupcake joined in the fun.

After the first few snowballs, Jamie slipped down, with his sled luckily, a huge snow dune then slid across some ice at the bottom, making him go into the street. I realize he could get hurt so I went after him as fast as I could go. I started making an ice path that led his sled out of harms way, but I still wanted to add fun to this sudden ride as well.

People were moving left and right trying to get out of the way as Jamie sped threw the streets of Burgess with me flying right beside him. He almost hits two people loading a coach into truck before flying into a snow dune under the town square statue of Paul revere. At first I thought he was seriously hurt , but he came back up just as quickly as he dove in. His friends came, breathing heavily from running.

" Wow guys did you see-" he is cut off by the coach that must of slid away from the workers, and crashes right into him. The children looked, scared that he was hurt and so was I, but he got up with a smile still stretched across his face with an empty gap were his tooth should have been.

" wow! I lost a tooth!" He says excitedly.

" that was so cool Jamie!" The girl in the hat says. I become annoyed as they turn away and start walking back to where they were. I fly fast and land right in front of them, still they ignore me.

" Hey, come on what does guy have to do to get a little recognition around here. " I said to them completely annoyed.
Then it happens, they walk right through me, literally, just like everyone does everywhere I go, because they don't believe in me. I wince at the thought and the feeling of my loneliness returns, no one can hear me nor see me, it just isn't fair.
I look up where the moon would be and ask " what am I doing wrong? I've tried everything and still people don't believe." I fly up and sit on a roof and look down to my feet and think, why?
