Teen Guardian Parents Chapter 20

Life With Jack Frost: Teen Guardian Parents

Chapter 20: The Winter Spirit's Birth Place

"Isn't this fun!" shouted Jack cheerfully and flew around in circles while Jef was behind him. The young boy was not scared and didn't care about the danger. All he wanted was to have fun. Jef joined the winter spirit and yelled merrily.

"WOOHOO!" said Jef and laughed with gaiety.

"We're almost there!" said Jack and swooped down.

"Woah!" said his son and buried his face in the young guardian's back.

Jack landed both of them in the snow safe and sound. Your son jumped excitedly and asked the winter spirit to do it again.

The young guardian chuckled and stood at the top of his staff and stared at the young boy. Jef stopped and looked around. He noticed this place. Their at the lake. The lake where he played his flute while Pippa and the others were watching him yesterday.

"No… that's not yesterday." He whispered and glimpsed at Jack. "Uhm.." he stammered and got the winter spirit's attention.

"It's ok! Ask me something. Anything." Said his dad and grinned.

To not make things complicated, Jef started with the question, "Where are we?"

Jack grinned widely and pointed at the icy lake not far from the both of you and said, "We're in the lake. The lake where I was born." He explained.

Jef's mouth dropped and walked to it slowly and gingerly. He crouched down and touched the ice and gazed at the winter spirit.

"Born?" he asked. Jef didn't ask this question to Jack because he doesn't want to pry or offend the winter spirit. He's too shy to ask personal questions to the Jack he knew from the future; But this Jack was quite different.

"Yes. I was born here."he started and suddenly, his voice turned lonely and painful, "Darkness... it was the first thing I remember. I don't know who I am or where I came from when I got out of that lake; but when I saw the moon and stared at it, I listened and he told me my name, Jack Frost. I have no other choice but to believe it since he made me strong and fearless."

"I- I' m sorry… I should've not asked." Jef said shyly and made circle patterns in the white snow with his fingers.

"What? No It's alright!" Jack exclaimed and laughed playfully, "It actually made me feel better. I'm really glad that I can now talk to someone. You're the first one I met that can see me."

"Ho- how long have you-"

"300 years." Jack interrupted and jumped down from the top of his staff and added with a wide grin, "Pretty lonely right?"

"Three hundred years?" Thought Jef. "That means the fight between Pitch and Jack haven't happened yet… I'm sure he's not even a guardian."

"Three hundred years?" said the boy aloud and Jack nodded. "I was wondering… Are you a guardian?"

Jack gave out a loud guffaw and hugged his stomach firmly while laughing. He rolled in the snow and stood up afterwards, still uttering light laughs.

"Me? Guardian? There is now way…" he said and grinned. "I'm all alone kiddo. If you haven't heard, I've been around for a long, long time. My name is Jack Frost. I love being on my own. No rules. No responsibility. It's as good as it sounds." He said while brandishing his magical staff everywhere.

"I don't like being a guardian. They're all hard work and deadlines while I'm… snowballs and fine times. I'm not a guardian." He added and smiled.

Jef listened attentively and laughed sometimes when the winter spirit would make silly faces. Suddenly, he noticed something in the snow. Footprints. Footprints of who?

"(F/n)!" he thought, "I completely forgot about her!"

"You know Santa, the Tooth fairy, the Sandman and the Easter Bunny right?" continued the young guardian and your son nodded. "They're called the big four. They're the hardworking and boring ones while I'm the fun and cool one!" he added and gave out a dignity laugh.

"I bet you and the Easter Bunny are close friends." Mocked the young boy and laughed when Jack got petrified.

"The Easter Bunny and me? Close Friends? Nuh-uh not in my long immortal life. I like messing with him though. He's getting pissed off so easily which is fun." He said and laughed again.

Jef chuckled crazily while the winter spirit was mimicking the Easter Kangaroo's voice and actions. The young boy instantaneously remembered about you. He stopped laughing and interjected, "Jack… I need to find someone. She's with me lately and I think she's also looking for me."

"Wait? You- Someone's with you?" asked the winter spirit curiously and glimpsed at the boy.

The winter spirit's son nodded and without warning, his stomach rumbled. Jef got embarrassed and hugged his tummy tightly.

"Well, someone's hungry." Said Jack and grinned, "I could get some pine-"

"Oh no, no, no!" interrupted Jef and shook his head, "I- don't like eating pine cones…" he added.

"They're delicious! I haven't tasted it once but that's what the others say." Insisted Jack and patted the boy's head.

"They? Who said that pine cones are delicious?" thought the boy and gave Jack a furious look, "No, I don't really like it." He replied.

"What's your plan then? Starve to death?" asked the winter spirit and gave out a playful chuckle.

"NO!" shouted the boy and noticed the bright lights, a bit far from where they were. "Is there a city around here?" said Jef.

Jack looked up and scratched his white hair and responded, "Oh right!" he exclaimed and lightly banged his forehead, "There's a city here. Wanna go there now?" asked the young guardian.

"But- what about the girl-"

"I'll find her soon as I brought you to the city." Interjected his young dad. "Let's go!" he added and crouched down. "Here, jump on my back."

Jef grinned blissfully and obeyed to what the young guardian said. "Hold on tight!" reminded Jack and flew away.
