Dreams

Chapter Two: A Spark, A Flame, A Desire

Ever since you called out into the night for Jack Frost, you've been having very vivid dreams. Night after night it was the same, you're running through a forest, an endless forest.

Tonight was different however, tonight was the first time it turned into a nightmare.

You're running through that endless forest but soon there's a clearing. There you see a familiar pond and then hear a familiar laugh. You quickly climb up a tree and sit on a branch. A teenage boy walks out of the woods. A little girl is right behind him. Both of them have similar eye and hair color.

Brother and sister? You think to yourself.

You stand on tiptoe and creep to the edge of the branch so, you can get a better look at the kids. There was something about the teenage boy that got your attention. He had warm brown hair and amber eyes. He was wearing a simple white shirt, a brown vest over that and he had a brown cloak over that. His pants were oddly familiar to you even though you swore you have never seen this boy before. The next thing that stood out to you was that he was barefoot. You look him over from head to toe again and then it clicks. This boy is Jack Frost!

Jack did tell you how he died and that he was human once so, this boy in front of you had to be Jack. But something doesn't sit with you right. Jack never did tell you what he looked like when he was alive and furthermore, you have no idea what people wore three hundred years ago. Your thoughts are suddenly interrupted by a dark cloud showing up on the horizon. As it gets closer you realize it's not a normal cloud, it seems to be made up of dark sand. Suddenly a horse like creature emerges from the sand and charges at Jack and his sister. You try to warn them but no sound leaves your mouth and you are forced watch the scene unfold in front of you.

Jack bravely fights the creature but unfortunately, for every one he defeats another one takes it's place. This goes on until Jack is too weak to fight back anymore. The creatures grab him and begins to drag him away. You begin to feel tears roll down your cheeks as you watch Jack calling out to his sister. Seeing the fear in his eyes was unbearable and you close your eyes hoping for this to be over.

But unfortunately it wasn't over.

You open your eyes to discover the scene has changed. You are now perched on top of rocky ledge overlooking cages that are hanging from a ceiling that is too high to view. Jack is in a cage a few feet blow from where you are. A horse creatures emerges from the shadows and drags Jack to a different room.

You blink and once again the scene has changed. Jack is restrain to a table and severely beaten. He has cuts, bruises, burns, and open wounds over every inch of his body. Suddenly a shadow figure appears behind the table and then the figure starts to take form as it moves away from the wall. The figure is very tall, he easily towers over Jack. The man has gray skin, jet black hair that was styled in such a way that it reminds you of fire. His eyes were black and the irises were the same shade of yellow as the creatures but his somehow struck you with more fear. His clothing was simple and yet complex at the same time somehow. It seemed to have a mind of it's own as he moved it would merger and separate from shadows at random. Each time forming different shapes.

The figure walks up to the side of the table and then he wraps his hand around Jack's neck and squeezed.

You yell out the young guardian's name and this time you're heard. The man points his skinny finger at you and suddenly a horse creature appears. It stares at you with it's piercing yellow eyes and then charges at you.

You're sitting straight up in bed, gasping for air and drenched in your own sweat.  After you are able to calm down you quickly scan your room, as if you needed to make sure you were still in your house.  

After taking a shower you decide to head downstairs and as you do you notice the change in temperature.  At first you try to pass it off as it was because you just got out of the shower.  But your mind is changed when you notice the temperature on the thermostat has been changed.  

Your heart starts to race.  Was he really here?

You turn around to face the couch and there he was sound asleep.  You cover your mouth and bite your lip to prevent yourself from squealing or screaming out his name from pure happiness.

You take a seat in the same chair you sat in when you first bought the winter spirit inside and you can't help but smile at that memory.  If it wasn't for that act of kindness towards a stranger, you would have never found out that the teenage boy was Jack Frost.  A lot has happened to you ever since that night he crashed in your backyard.  

Why me?  Why is it his staff glows when I get near it?  Why can I hear the wind like he does?  Why...

Your thoughts are cut off by the sound of kids playing outside.  Your jaw drops at the sight before you.

Snow?  Did he really...make it snow? But how? I thought...I thought...

You look over at the sleeping winter spirit, the tears falling down your face were purely tears of joy.

Thank you Jack, thank you so much.

You head outside to enjoy the precious gift Jack Frost has given you.

***
You walk back in after spending a good hour or so outside.  Jack is sitting on the couch, smiling at you.

"Didcha have fun?", he says with a grin.

You smile at him, "Yeah, I did and so did my brother.  Thank you so much Jack."

"You're welcome, I just wanted to make Christmas eve special for you." He stands up and walks towards you.

You smile warmly at him, "You just being here with me would have been enough, Jack." You place a hand on his cheek.

He places his hand on yours.  "I missed you, (your name).  His eyes are fixed on yours and he takes a breath before continuing.  "The whole time I was away from you I couldn't stop thinking about you.  When you're not with me I don't feel complete and to be honest, I feel a little dead inside too."

Your heart begins to race. What is he trying to say?

"I know we haven't known each other for that long but that doesn't change I how I feel right now. I'll admit these feelings I have are confusing since I never felt them before but I do know one thing for certain.  I always want you by my side so, I have something to ask you.  (Your name), I love you so if you allow me, I would like to stay with you, protect you, care for you, and give you the love an angel like you deserves."

He loves you? A spirit.  An immortal spirit loves you, a human being.  How is this possible?

"Jack, I...I love you too."

He leans his head close to yours until your lips were just inches apart.  

You can hear a voice in the back of your mind calling your name.  You try to ignore it but it's just too loud.  

Your eyes snap open.

You blink a few times to get your eyes to focus then you turn your head.  Your little brother is jumping up and down excitedly.  

"Jack Frost got my wish! It's snowing outside right now!" He runs out of your room excitedly.

You sit up feeling confused and disappointed, "It was just a dream...?"

You look over at your nightstand and notice the book you have been reading.  "I gotta stop reading romance books before bed."

After getting dressed you head downstairs to play with your brother.  You look towards the couch and smile at the sleeping winter spirit.  

Thank you Jack.
Well here it is, chapter two of Dreams is done. I really enjoyed writing this one.

Yes, 95% of this chapter was one big dream and some of you might think I'm evil for not making the romance real yet. But it's better this way, trust me you'll like what I have planned when the real romantic part happens.

Anyway hope you enjoy this chapter.
