Jack Frost

[AHeartlessNobody]

At a sudden warmth, Anna's eyes slowly opened and she looked down confusingly, to see a....fur coat? Yes it was a coat, lined with warm fur on the inside. This was better then any blanet and would definantly keep her warmer too. Smiling brightly, she slipped her arms through the sleves, putting it on, snuggling onto it as she looked around, trying to figure out where the coat had come from. No one was around that she could see. So how...she paused, hearing the ringing of those same bells once again. Where were these bells coming from. And did this have anything to do with what was going on around this place lately? She slowly stood and after following the sound, she soon found more foot prints and grinned very lightly, following them to the town. She left eh fur coat hanging on a branch int he woods, where she new where it was, but now no one else could see it, as someone might either try to buy/steal it off of her or accuse her of stealing such a fine item. So she went into town and after going into one of the shops and slipping a hairbrush that she needed into her bag, she went back out in search of more feet prints and the sounds of the bells.

By now, Jack was delivering winter in full force, starting it off with the light snowfall currently blanketing everything. Many people seemed happy for the pristine snowfall, and some were even going around with the cheap winter decorations, dressing up whatever they could to try and pretty up the main street. The winter prince worked around many of them, but every now and then he would cause a snow drift from a roof to collaps on one's head. It was all in good fun to him, regardless of mortal feelings on the matter.

Sitting on top of one of the shorter buildings, Jack tossed balls of winter wind through the air, making the snow drift and gather in different directions. To him, it was like composing music, even if the only music heard was the occasional radio or the tin-sounding bells that were raised onto garland. His own would only shift now and then, the sound faint and silvery. He did not notice her yet, too wrapped up in his work of spreading snow over town. But his icy footprints were all over town, wherever an unusually high accumulation of snow was.

Anna continued to follow the feet prints that were covered in ice and smiled lightly. This was sort of fun. Like a game of mystery. She didn't know what or who was making the prints, but whatever it was had to be amazing to be able to freeze them. As she got closer to where Jack was, she perked up at the sound of the bells again and smiled, quickly making her way through the snow. There were kids on the sides of the roads, obviously out for a snow day, were collecting snow balls in piles for a huge snow ball fight that they were planning. She ddn't think anything of it. She just continued to follow the foot prints, trying to find their sorce.

His footsteps ended again in thin air, as Jack had floated up to his vantage point on the roof. But now, looking around to admire his work, he did spot her. His facehad a mix of joy and worry upon it; joy for seeing that his gift had helped, worry that she seemed to be following the sound of his bells again. With the season in full now, he had to worry about if another winter spirit decided to report the incident to Father Winter. And Jack Frost had no intention of having his abilities taken from him.

Keeping on the rooftop, he began to run and jump, traveling across them and causing snow to fall down onto the ground. His bells, the sweet music something he had no intention of stopping, rang again, growing fainter as he headed for the center of town. As he went, his feet gave a basis for icicles to grow.

Hearing the ringing of the bells, faster now, she perked up, looking about, and listened to find them growing fainter and fainter. Looking up, she noticed a patern in the snow falling of of roof tops and ran quickly, stumbling over her own feet to follow the sounds of the bells as they went on. She wasn't sure if she would ever find out what itwas that was making those noises, but she was going to try her best to find out what it was. She just wished whatever it was made a little effort to at least give her some sort of a hint.

Stumbling one last time, she looked up to find herself far from the point she had started running and frowned, "What am doing?" She sighed and stopped, leaning on one of the frost covered trees, "This is hopeless. I have as much chance of finding out what that was as I do to actuay having a home. Zero."Sighing softly against she leaned her head back and closed her eyes, feeling the soft snow fall on her.

((Sorry for the delay, been a bit busy))

However, as he ran, Jack did not notice that one of his silvery bells had fallen off of his necklace, bouncing off the edge and catching on a branch not far from her. It rang softly as the wind played with the branches, its silvery surface untarnished and hanging by a tangle bit of thread that looked like spun ice and snow.

Seeing her stop when he looked over his shoulder, Jack sighed in relief, before he continued on with his job. It wasn't that he didn't enjoy someone aware of him; he hadn't had someone do that in centuries. But there was an unspoken law among the seasonal spirits. Being spotted by a human in this age was an instant license to take your powers away, as modern humans would abuse their abilities.

(no prob. Was busy yesterday anyway)
As she leaned against the tree, her heyes closed, she heard the soft bells slowly go into the distance and though that were gone for good. But, when the wind picked up slightly, she heard them again and opened her eyes up in suprise. Looking around, she followed the sound and saw something shimmering up in a near by tree. And that was where the ringing was coming from. Was there...a bell up there? Was that what she had been hearing this whole time? No. It couldn't be. She had been hearing that bells all through out the town and the woods. But this bell sounded jus like it. Now it was only a matter of getting it down.

She frowned, looking up and tried to shimmy up the truck, but the ice and frost that layed it made her slip a bit. It took a few tries but she finally made it up to the first branch. After that it was easy. She just went from branch to branch until she reached the bell. Smiling lightly she unraveled it from the twims and looked at it closely. The bell was a perfect little silver thing. When she shook it it rang out beautiful tones. And the thread it was hanging by looked like it was made of ice an snow. It was even cold like ice and snow! It was so pretty. She smiled looking at it, sitting up about twenty feet in the air on a tree branch.

Jack Frost had not gotten very far from her when he heard the bell ring. Instinctively, a hand flew to his chest to silence them, but to his surprise, one of his silver bells was missing, and the ringing did not stop. "Oh no..." he began, looking around himself frantically for it before he started hopping off across the snow-coated rooftops again. Those bells weren't just normal bells, after all. They were made specifically by other spirits for winter elementals like himself, and to lose one was not only careless, but dangerous. While mere ornaments in his hands, they still possessed tiny sparks of magic.

Standing on a tree branch, he looked around for the tiny silver bell, his remaining one jingling whenever he jumped from tree to tree, snow falling wherever he landed. Did that girl find the bell? She could hear it, judging by how she had followed him, and now, he feared she would be able to see him if she had it in her possession.

[AHeartlessNobody]

Anna smiled as she continued to turn the bell over in her hand, admiring its beauty. It really was amazing. She stayed on the branch and only looked up when she heard the small jingling again. But this time it was from a different place. Was there another bell in one of these branches. At first, she really didn't see anything, so she looked harder. At first, there was just a faint glimmer and she focrused on the spot where the glimmer was, only to gasp in suprise and fall out of tree, landing in the soft snow. Luckily she hadn't been up that high. And the fact that the thick blanket of snow helped to break the fall as well. But, to be honest, she wasn't thinking about the fact the she had fallen out of tree at all.
-
She had seen a person! It had just been a flash of him, but it had been a person indeed! She sat up, trying to focus her sight again and....there he was! Up in a tree! Her green eyes widened, her hand clutching around the bell, her body tense, not sure whether to speak or try to do something. This man; he wasn't human. Couldn't be. His skin was so pale. And his hair, even though he was so young, looked white. His ears were even pointed! No, this boy definantly wasn't human.

Then, what was he?
