Jack Frost sat on the top of the fence, watching. One leg was drawn up against his chest with his arms closely wrapped around, clutching his staff. The other leg was dangling, tapping off the splintering wood. There were children sledding down the hill. The last three before the oncoming storm. And there was a big storm coming, and it was his fault. It had been a bad day. He’d been too involved, it felt too much like they could see him. Like they were having fun with him.

Slowly, he pulled up his hood. There was going to be a bad blizzard tonight... or in a few hours. Jack watched as a small blonde girl in matching red hat and mittens, ran up the hill with her too-big sled. How far did they have to drive?

Jack leapt down from the fence, lightly touching down on the snow littered with tiny footprints.

“Time to go home, kids,” Jack said as he moved among the children and bent down, touching their noses with his ice cold fingers. They squealed with several exclamations of: “It’s cold!” and “I’m freezing!” before their one last ride down the hill.

One hesitated. A freckled boy who was searching for his scarf. Jack spotted it next to him. He waved his staff and the wind picked up, blowing the scarf over so that it tangled around the boy’s legs. The boy couldn’t help but laugh as he scooped it up and took off down the hill with the rest of them.

Jack tried to smile, but it quickly disappeared. He rubbed at his eyes and turned away.

The first snowflakes were starting to fall and the sky was getting darker by the minute. He thought about leaving, going some place, any place else, but he knew the storm would follow him. It wasn’t something he could run from. He couldn’t run from anything.

Instead, Jack Frost waited and let the storm hit him.
I finally wrote something for Jack Frost! It wasn't going to get this long... it was just supposed to be a prompt for a friend and then this happened... I just really love Jack Frost you guys... He's still my muse right now ^^;

Tell me what you think! I like constructive criticism :D

Character belongs to Dreamworks, situation belongs to me. So no stealing please!

Jack, I have an idea! You should come to visit me in California! The stalker storm would never follow you here, and if it does, Cali coast heat will knock it to next Monday :D
