I'll rise like the break of Dawn (book 2)

13

Elsa-
I wake up at 4:00 am, as always, and look at Jack next to me. He was smiling in his sleep. I smile, he looks a lot younger when he sleeps. To be honest, right now he looks like a little kid. Suddenly he frowns, waking up suddenly he gasps. When he see's me he gives me a weak smile.
"Hey Els,what time is it?"
"4:09"
"Wow, what do you do when you wake up this early?"
"Sometimes I tern a lamp on and read, other times I watch you."
"You watch me sleep? Yea, that's not creepy."
"Shut up. Hey I've been meaning to ask you something for quite a while."
"What?"
"Do you know why Emma has brown hair?"
He frowns "Yea I do. Before I died I had brown hair and eyes. I guess it's still in my genes"
"How did you, ya know, die?"
"I died saving my sister, 316 years ago. It was Christmas, we had both gotten ice skates and we wanted to go out side to the pond that was a little into the woods, not far from our house. We had just started skating when the ice started to crack. I took my skates off and was able to get to a stick that was laying on the edge of the pond, my staff, and used it to get her away, but when I did I had moved to where she had been, the ice broke under my weight, I fell into the water and drowned. the moon picked me as Jack Frost and here I am."
"Oh, Jack, h-how old were you?"
"16."
"And your sister?"
"She was 12, her name was, Emma."
I gasp
A tear falls down his face. I put my arms around him, which is quite the accomplishment considering the fact that my stomach is bigger than a watermelon. He puts his head on my shoulder, I hear him crying and I stroke his hair. After minute his breathing slows, he's fallen asleep.
