Right. Frost hadn’t been with his gang since their last meeting at the stones—and even then, he was a bit shaky. Winter was ending then… as were his teen years. The white demon paced the borders of Bright Moon with anxiety spilling in all directions. Anxiety always spilled from him in these damn warm months. He hated them. He was a winter child, someone who was born and raised in the snow, kept in the cold and shuffled underground when spring and summer came around. Only when Fall arrived again did he come out… but this wasn’t Fall. Jack Frost had broken his tradition. Perhaps it was him trying to turn over a new leaf, make something of himself and not just in the winter time. A cold gust of air brought a delighted shiver to his bones, soaking him in happiness to the marrow. But the moment, and the happiness and delight, disappeared as quickly as they came. And he was left alone once more.
He turned his dial over his shoulder to look back at the area where the vargs in his gang would be meeting soon… and soon they would infiltrate Bright Moon to cause the same kind of trouble they gave Abendrot. A smartass smirk came to the adult’s mug. He was much more handsome than he had been as a lanky teen, but that was to be expected. Frost had always been an eye catcher. He was just never into using those charms to earn himself a bloodline that eventually would produce a royal ancestry… No. Frost had no interest in females. He had done a few things with Carmen and other gullible little faes who swooned at his look and childish outlook on life, but he was not the type for a relationship. He turned his frosted optics back to the territory and took off, kicking dirt into the atmosphere. He weaved in and out of the lines, knowing that what he was doing was punching the patience buttons of those who lived in the area. He laughed aloud carelessly, however. But he came to a quick stop when he scented a perfume on the gales. His portals looked around, searching for that which he probably would not find until she revealed herself. Jack Frost did not run away. Instead, he stopped and pricked his audettes, inhaling and exhaling dramtically—for, after all, he had been running for a while now. His tassel sliced through the spring atmosphere and he waited. Perhaps he was just a young, inexperienced, rough-housing, bastard newcomer.
He could be anyone! Oh what fun…
Of course, fun can never last forever. At some point in time, all of us wake up.
