I woke up - I guess I fell asleep. 

When I woke up I noticed a small fire and a familiar scented hoodie wrapped around me. I sat up and noticed I was in one of Bunny's dirt caves. 

"Oh finally you're awake." I heard Jacks voice. I turned to the direction where he was and immediately turned bright red noticing he was shirtless. I tried to get up but a sharp pain stopped me. I looked down and saw my leg wrapped with some bandages. 

"See I should be asking how long I have been out but I'm more curious on where in gods name did you get bandages??" I asked looking up at him. He chuckled and twirled his staff as he walked over to me. He squatted down to me. 

"at least you're in high spirits snowflake" He smiled warmly. I looked him up and down gesturing to his shirtless figure. He laughed nervously 

"ah- well . I was going to hold you and try to keep you warm but uhm. I'm a winter spirit" He said smiling as he looked down . I smiled back at him

"You wouldn't mind if I wore it right? You wouldn't get cold?" I asked him as I picked his hoodie up. He laughed a bit more 

"again, winter spirit, go for it". With that permission I slipped on his hoodie. It actually was warmer than I expected. I hugged myself and rubbed my arms to keep myself warm. I noticed his worried expression , I quickly hugged him tightly. 

"Hey. . . we're gonna be okay.. we are gonna get them back" I smiled warmly. He sighed gently and nodded. 

"I don't suppose you have any plan on how to get our family back" Jack asked as he pulled away to brush my hair gently. I placed a finger on my lips in deep focus. Did I have a plan?. Then it hit me . My cloak!!

"Jack!" I held onto his shoulders. 

"where did you put my cloak?" I asked him looking him deep in the eyes. 

"Oh- yea I set that aside to let it dry.. why?" He asked. 

 "Help me up " I ordered him. He got up and helped me up. I leaned onto him as we limped to my cloak . I looked through the (many) pockets of my cloak before finally finding what I was looking for. Papa's book. 

"Your fathers book?" He asked. I nodded as I flipped through the pages. Then I finally found what I was looking for. 


"The wisdom of the voice" 

"The wisdom of the voice?" Jack read aloud with a confused tone. 

"When... When I was in the blood moon trance - There was a voice guiding me . well actually there was two voices. One was trying to taint me and they other helped me. From what i've read this voice can guide us- maybe I can seek her out" I explained. 

"wait wait wait how do we know this voice is safe, how do you even seek her out ? Is it a safe process - will you be safe? I need you to be safe-" His voice grew with panic as he held me closer. I couldn't help but smile at the warm fuzzy feeling in my chest. I rested a gentle hand against his cheek. 

"I don't think we have much of a choice-" I choked up a bit as I looked down and saw that the bandaids where  leaking. 

"That's our cue to get you down" He smiled and helped me down. He walked over to my cloak where he had set down his staff and the bandages. He picked up the bandages and walked over to me, he sat down and began to unwrap my bandages. 

"Is it weird to say I'm craving cheesecake?"He asked as he looked up at me. I bursted out laughing 

"see! it's like the best thing ever!" I smiled brightly.

"You know you've introduced me to so much- im glad I've met you" He began to wrap the bandaids around my leg. I watched him for a while before beginning to reminisce about all the pranks we did. 

"Remember when you made me fly into class-" I started, slowly beginning to giggle. He smirked huffing softly before replying. 

"Or the time we threw snowballs through the office windows"

"when we convinced the crazy lady down the street that winter was staying forever" 

" halloween was a blast!!" I giggled as I punched my fist into the air. 

"what do you call that school dance again?" He asked speaking softly, his gentle fingers delicately wrapping the bandages into a tight hold on my leg.

"Prom?" I replied. He nodded. He looked up at me and smiled 

" You , looked so beautiful that day" He said as his bright blue eyes seemed to melt my being. I took his hand, gently holding it in mine. I brought it up to my face and rested his palm against my cheek. His cool skin giving off comfort.

"You know... I never got to tell you - I had a really fun time Jack" I giggled happily as I gave him a closed eye smile. 

"That- " I looked at him raising my eyebrows. 

"That Is what is so special about you - the way you smile.The way a single smile can light up a single starry sky. You are such a light" He cupped my face gently pulling me closer. My eyes couldn't help but fixate on his lips. Their subtle purple blue shade - common signs of hypothermia . I knew his lips probably felt cool as the winter breeze in Brooklyn but I found myself longing for his touch more and more each second I looked at him. I rested my hands on his bare chest. One cool hand found its way on my waist pulling my closer while the other on the back of my neck. 

"heh. . .. You hair on the back of your neck isn't standing up anymore" He spoke. I could feel the minty breathe against my skin. I rolled my eyes smiling softly leaning closer. 

"Guess I got used to all the times you placed your hand their for fun" 

"So you've gotten used to my cold~" He pulled me closer as our eyes locked in a soft gaze. .

Before I could reply a voice caused us both to jump away from one another. 

"But the question is, can you stand the heat?" 

dammit - I really wanted a fucking kiss

(A/N: don't worry you'll get you kiss- even if someone has to die for you to get it ;) . )
