RotG The Mortal Guardian: Jack Frost x Reader 7

Chapter 7

A Glimpse of your Death


After everyone left to go on a vacation you and Jack smiled at each other and walked back to the meeting room and started to pull out decoration organizing them in size. From the smallest for the tree to the largest for the hallways. Jack left and got you a hot chocolate while you were organizing. He tapped you on the shoulder and cleared his throat, "ahem. Madam your fantaisie chocolat chaud." You were impressed with his French.

Looking at the liquid you notice it is not frozen. "How did you keep this hot Jack?"

Jack lifted his hands and smiled. He had gloves in one of his hands, "Well a magician never reveals his secrets."

"Ok this is how it is going to work." You take a drink of hot chocolate and set the cup on the coffee table. "The bigger ornaments will be hung around the halls while the little ornaments will be used for the tree."

Jack picked up a few ornaments and flew to the lower levels of the workshop. You decorated the higher levels. You were about to grab some ornaments when you were nudged by something. You turned and saw Lieutenant your reindeer. His calf brown eyes looked back at your (eye color) eyes. You stroked his head, "I said I would visit you, but I guess it was to long of a wait huh?" He nodded his head. You sighed and smiled at Lieutenant, "Well I guess while you're here you can help me." The reindeer tilted his head in question then you hung some ornaments on his antlers. Lieutenant looked like he accidentally ran through the seasonal section of a store at Christmas time. You giggled to yourself, "Come on Lieutenant lets deck the halls." While you and your pet walked down the hall decorating you sang deck the halls then you started to sing a song that you heard over the radio when you were 11. It's the greatest time of year by Aly and Aj, and it was one of your favorite songs during Chirstmas. It looked like Lieutenant was enjoying your singing too as he did some fancy trotting.

The decorating seemed to take forever, but with the extra help from your reindeer the job seemed to go by a little quicker, after 2 hours you finished. Jack flew up "Hey..." Lieutenant stepped in between you and Jack. He lowered his head threatening to charge. Jack backed off a bit.

You went around and faced Lieutenant "Easy boy, easy! It's ok Jack is a guardian and my..." You wanted to say boyfriend, but replaced it, "he is my friend ok. You can go back to the pasture I'll be right there."Your reindeer lifted his head up and started walking in the direction he was instructed to go. Passing Jack he snorted at him like a father warning his daughter's date to not try anything stupid or the date will have to answer to him. You giggled when Lieutenant was out of sight. "Well how are the lower levels coming along?"

Jack changed the subject, "So I'm still your friend?" He sounded a bit hurt.

"Well I-I didn't want to say something that you would disapprove of." You looked down at the floor and brushed your hair behind your ear.

He wraps one hand around your waist and uses the other hand to lift your chin to look him in the eye, "well my flustered snowflake let me ask you this question. Will you be my girlfriend?"

Your heart raced in excitement, you whispered the answer "yes I will." Jack smiled. A shimmer on the ceiling caught both of your attention. Mistletoe started growing out of the ceiling. Both of you look at each other, Jack pressed his lips against yours softly, you pull the front of his hoodie encouraging him to give you a more intense kiss. He backed you up against a wall carefully, pinning you to its surface. Jack started to move from your lips to the bottom of your jawbone, then to your neck. You quietly moan his name and your breathing became heavier when his arctic lips kissed your collarbone. He moved back to your lips tracing his tongue on the edge of your mouth. He stopped and pulled back. Both of you were breathing heavily. You could see your breath come out in puffs of vapor. He kissed you again and then backed up letting your arms go.

"I need to go make it snow in North America," he smiled at you with affection, "but I'll be back."

You kissed him on the lips again, "I'm counting on it." He flew away leaving a nice frosty breeze behind. You twirled around still feeling the bliss in your chest, then you went to the pasture to feed the reindeer as that was the only thing that would help kill time for waiting.

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

After feeding the reindeer and trying out flying on your reindeer you realized that it was 11:30 pm. You decided to go to bed. At 11:35 a nice chilly breeze blew on your back from the open balcony window followed by a kiss on the back of your shoulder then an arm hugging around you. You were going to turn and face Jack but he held you in your place. "It's fine (name). You just go to sleep alright."

You smile, "Ok," You wanted to ask Jack a question, "So Jack was it fun freezing over the North Americas?" He didn't respond. You turn to face Jack, he was asleep off the bat. You smiled to yourself as you studied the features of his face.

A whisper caused you to look for the source. You sneak out from under Jack's arm so you don't wake him. The whisper came again, it was soft and calming, "(name)." You stepped out to the balcony and looked up to the moon. Its tranquil light shone down on you, you felt like a form of energy flowed around your body. The voice came into your mind, "(name) I would like to talk to you about something and hopefully answer some of your questions, but first you must promise that you will not tell anyone about what we discuss."

You bit the bottom of your lip, "I don't even know you though. I could be having a nightmare and really you're Pitch trying to convince me to free you."

The voice chuckled warmly which made you relax, "No (name) I am not Pitch I am Man in the Moon, but you can call me Manny or Mim which ever you feel most comfortable."

The realization hit you, "wait Bunny talked about how 'Manny chose me' so your Manny?"

"Yes I am now back to the subject matter. Do you promise not to tell anyone what I am about to show you, that also includes the fact you can't tell Jack this either."

You look back at Jack sleeping soundly on the bed. To keep a secret from him would be like a heated knife into Jack's heart, but whatever the information was would hurt worse than telling him. "Yes I promise I can keep a secret."      

Suddenly visions appeared in your mind. The first vision was you screaming out in pain as a woman with long hair dragging a huge pointed marionette's rod away from you. It looked like she was also pulling your shadow away from you. The second vision was Jack looking at you he had a look of fury on his face as a tear fell. The last vision was all the Guardians fighting a shadowy version of themselves, Nightmares, and large four winged crows, they were overwhelmed. You gasped and put your hands on the balcony to stop yourself from falling. Mim spoke to you again, "(name) this is meant to happen. Your Father would tell you that everything would be fine in the end. I promise you if you stay true to the prophecy you will be able to bring Pitch to his end."

You stayed still trying to maintain a steady breath. You were scared out of your mind. This was going to happen to you at some point. "I can't do it I'm just a girl. To you I'm just a regular person I don't have immortality or powers to fight off shadows. I'm just a girl."

Mim's light shone a little brighter giving you a feeling of hope, "The reason I chose you and your father is because the both of you had something that no other human had on this planet, you have a power of a Guardian inside you. Those kinds of people were called the Moon's tears. The only way that one can unlock their powers is only by death upon the Heroes Alter. Unfortunately your father was not sacrificed on the Alter because the guardians protected him, so he could not gain the required powers within him."

"My father knew he had to die?"

"yes (name)."

You wanted to run away, away from it all. Just forget everything that happened to you, but you think of Jack and what would happen to him if you don't help Mim. "I understand Mim. I can't believe I'm saying this but if death is the only way then I will do it. If it will help save the Guardians..." As well as Jack. "I'll do it."

Mim's light gave you a feeling like he was smiling kindly at you, "You are just like your father. Even when he knew the cost he still saw things through and through. Don't worry (name) I will be with you."

Mim's voice and light disappeared; you turned back into the room and laid beside Jack again. The secret you held felt far too much to bear but for the sake of the prophecy you felt it was the best thing and the only thing to do.

You closed your eyes and fell into a calm sleep.
