RotG The Mortal Guardian: Jack Frost x Reader 3

Chapter 3: Dreading the Nightmares

After that moment spending time with Jack you seemed extremely distracted so much that when 12:00 am hit you still couldn't sleep. Knowing that you can't stay up forever, you finally let sleep take over. You noticed for the first time in 12 years a dream finally came around. Walking in a snow covered forest, no wind, and large snowflakes fall softly from the sky. You let a snowflake land on your nose. A familiar laugh caught your attention. It was Jack, he leaned against a tree. He laughed again this time more sinister.

His eyes changed color from blue to yellow, "Still trying to avoid me, my dear (name)?"

Suddenly the snow stood still then a wicked and harsh cold wind ripped across your face causing the winter scene to turn into a endless black room. Jack melted away and was replaced by a familiar face... Pitch Black, he haunted you every night telling you the guardians are myths, nothing, and a pathetic waste of my time to think of them.

Pitch smiled wickedly and circled you, "You know that no matter how hard you try, no matter what wall or myth you hide behind I still can enter your dreams."

You glare him down "Jack Frost is no myth unlike you." When you whipped what you said to him it almost looked like he had a small moment of pain, but the look he gave was too quick to tell.

"Jack Frost, he is nothing but a liar. He tells you things that you want to hear then he leaves you to die in his coldness. Where I on the other hand, have been looking out for you ever since you were a little girl." He placed his hands on your shoulders.

You quickly moved yourself away from him "All you did was give me horrible nightmares that scared me every night. Nightmares of my parents turning into dust, claws grasping my legs trying to take the very life out of me and many more nightmares that are to dark to even think of. No one, not even the people I was assigned to helped me they thought I was a psycho BECAUSE OF YOU!" You started to shake with adrenaline or what you thought was adrenaline.

Pitch made a tisk, tisk noise and shook his finger "Now, now my dear there is no need to be hostile with me. I only gave you those nightmares to show you the power behind it." He opened his arms and curved his fingers, "Imagine (name) if you join forces with me, I can give you unlimited power, you will be able to do anything and no one can get in your way. You could become a Queen of Darkness and rule the world alongside me."

You wanted to throw up, "Like I would join forces with you. I would rather let Jack Frost drown me in a lake and freeze the hole over."

Pitch was starting to get mad, "You worthless child. You are just like your Father. Blunt and daft in the head. He never knew where true power lied."

"How do you know my Father?" you were surprised that Pitch knew who your Father was.
He looked surprised as well, he started chuckling which evolved into an amused laugh.

Turning to the darkness he called to someone, "You didn't tell her." He chuckled even more now.

You were even more confused, who was he talking to, and who didn't tell you what? Crossing your arms you asked, "What do you mean someone didn't tell me what I need to know?"

He shook his head, "You naive child." He quickly grabbed your throat, threatening to squeeze if you moved. He spoke softly into your ear. "If you want to know what is going on and what I have that may be of great importance to you then you will free me from my new prison Jack has created for me, and you will join my cause." He backed away from you and started melting into a shadow, "When you're interested in real power let me know." A powerful wind threw you to the ground. Then you were falling like the floor was pulled out from underneath you.

You unexpectedly felt a soft cool breeze against you. You relax, rapidly everything went white.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You awoke to the sound of the radio but kept your eyes closed. The radio dj sounded different from Ryan Seacrest's voice but it did sound like someone you knew.

"Good morning, all of you early birds, today's weather shows sunny skies, but snow is on its way folks. Oh! We just got a special song request for all those people still sleeping the title is Jack Frost has a clear shot to dump snow over your face."

You defiantly recognize the voice, opening your eyes quickly and shooting straight up into sitting position and look at the mock radio dj "Jack!" You were thrilled to see him.

He laughed "Well of course who did you think I was? The Tooth Fairy? As you can clearly see I don't have feathers."

"The Tooth Fairy has feathers?" You tilted your head and gave a perplexed look.

Jack nodded and grinned "Yes she does. So good morning you're awake!"

You couldn't help but smile at him, "How did you get into my house"

"You left your bedroom window unlocked." He pointed to the open window.

You wanted to get out of bed but remembered that you only sleep in a tank top and boxer shorts, "Um Jack, as much as I would like to talk and visit with you right now, I would like to get dressed first."

You could see Jack blush with embarrassment because of the realization that you are in your pajamas. He gave an oops-sorry-I-didn't-realize smile, "Oh right um I'll just..." He backed up to the window "I'll just wait outside then." He backed up to the window sill and tripped, falling out of the second story window. "WOOOOOOOOOAH!!! Oof!" He hit the ground.

You rushed to the window sill to see Jack lying in the snow. You tried to see if he was alright. "You ok Jack?"

Jack still lying on the ground gave you a thumbs up and responded, "Yeah, Just fine."

You giggled under your breath "I'll be right out!" You get dressed, and then you remember your dream when Pitch whispered in your ear. Rushing to the bathroom you give the ear Pitch whispered in a thorough washing. It also took you extra time to just do your routinely hygiene. You felt so self conscious of what Jack will think of you. Finally you feel ready to go, grabbing your winter gear on the way out.

Slipping on your boots and opening the porch door, you walked to where Jack fell. He was gone. Typical Jack Frost, disappears then pops up randomly sometimes scaring you in the process. You throw your hands up in defeat. "Ok Jack, you win the hide and seek game now can you show yourself without scaring me in the process."

At that moment two cold hands grab underneath your armpits and lift you off the ground. A soft wind also helped you stay suspended in the air as Jack puts his staff under your feet like a snowboard. "There, how was that for not startling you?"

"Good." You try to keep balance on his staff. Grabbing your hand Jack steadied you.

"Ever skied or snowboarded before (name)?"He raised an eyebrow in question.

You nodded happily, "I prefer snowboarding, I may look like a prissy girl but I can snowboard like a pro."

"Great!"

"Why did you ask that question?"

He mischievously, "Just wait and see." You could deal with surprise. Mostly you were leaning towards the fact that he was taking you to a mountain for snowboarding. Jack flew you across some wonderful winter sceneries. You both saw the occasional pack or herd of animals here and there. Jack looked back at you "Were here."

You gasped at the wonderful mountain peaks, "Wow! This is amazing."

Jack hovered at least 3 meters from the mountain's top side. He handed you a iced shaped snowboard "I'll race you."

You smirk at the challenge and start strapping on your new snowboard, "Could you make me a pair of ski goggles by chance?" He reached inside his hoodie pocket and pulled out the most wicked looking pair of ski goggles you have ever seen. Putting on the goggles you jump fall off the staff. "Meet you at the bottom Jack!" hitting fresh powder successfully you let out a triumphantly "YAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!"

This was by far the best time you ever had in your life.
