JackFrostxReader: The Fiery Ice Deadline pt11

At the next day

Hour 1030, (hometown) Pediatric Hospital

The MPV stopped at the parking lot provided before both of you went out from the vehicle as you walked faster to the reception counter.

“I have an appointment with Dr Priscilla Ren at 11AM,” you said to the receptionist.

Then the receptionist make a call for the confirmation and she said, “Mrs. Frautz, Dr Priscilla Ren is waiting for you at Level 1,”

Both of you walked upstairs to Level 1 and as you arrived there.

“(full name), nice to meet you again,” Priscilla responded as she walked closer to you, shake your hand.

“Nice to meet ya again, doctor,” you replied. “So, how about the plan?”

Priscilla looked to Jack. “Who is he?”

“My husband. Jake Frautz,” you replied before he poked you.

“It’s ‘Jack Frost’,” he corrected silently. You giggled a bit, and Priscilla smiled.

“I heard that Unicef want you to do some guerrilla ads of children issues, and you seek me to find some kids for your work, don’t you?” Priscilla asked as she and you walked side by side at the corridor of the hospital while Jack guided you from behind looking around.

“Yeah, but the purposes of the ads is make an awareness of some of children problems. Ya know that, child abuse, discrimination, child labour, children education…” you replied.

“I already know it, (your name). I understand. Coincidentally I have some kids in my treatment maybe can give you inspired to make an ads,”

“Okay, bring me there,”

You followed that pediatric doctor to one door that written children under 12 are not allowed to get in. The door shut silently and Jack decided to wander around the corridor of the pediatric hospital until he saw one large door of written ‘Children Ward’ then he looked left and right and…

Meanwhile, Priscilla brought you to one closed ward. You peeked up from the glass window at the door, as you saw one 6 year old girl sat  on the bed and there’s a teddy bear which it patched at its right eye at her side. She kept crying makes you in curious.

“She’s Katrina, aged 6 who ran away from her home after her parents divorced,” Priscilla said silently. “Do you remember of my on-call that I got yesterday?”

You nodded slowly. “So you saved her that time? What happen?”

“She found laid unconscious at the back alley behind one shop lot at the city. I was in charge to check up on her, and she got some physical injure maybe been abused by her parents before they got divorced,”

“Usually, the kids who got physically abused will scared to meet the strangers but why she cried?”

“Actually, when I-,”

You opened the door of the ward, makes Katrina scared hidden herself at the corner of the room, you heard her saying something but you can’t hear it clearly. You kneed down before her as you placed your left hand at her head and that makes your eyeballs played one flashback.

FLASHBACK STARTS

It showing Katrina’s eye view that she was walking alone at the shop lot corridor at night, keep crying since she’s too hungry and there’s nothing to get eat until…

“Hey, kid!” there’s one 18 year old teen boy kneed down beside her. “Why you crying?”

You heard she sobbed. “I’m hungry,” she said.

“Oh… poor you little girl. I can give you something to eat, but you have to follow me,” that teen boy brought her along the back alley.

“Why you brought me here?” Katrina asked, in curious. “It’s too dark here,”

“Because before you have something to eat, I have some work for you,” the teen boy replied.

“Some work? What is it?”

That teen boy make her sit against the cardboard boxes as she looked before him sat on his knees. Then, he gave her one lollipop and Katrina accepted it and have a sweet meal. He looked left and right before he said, “Shh!” to keep her quiet then you saw his hands moved to his pants and…

FLASHBACK ENDED

You pulled your left hand from her head, shut your eyes suddenly thus you get away from Katrina and rushed to beside Priscilla.

“I knew what happen to Katrina. She got raped by that teen boy, right?” you said silently.

“Yes and... how did you know?” Priscilla asked.

“You don’t have to know,”

Meanwhile, Jack opened the door of the children ward room and most of the kids around 30 of them doing nothing on their bed, bored. He entered to the ward silently and nothing happen until…

There’s one boy who he’s in wheelchair noticed of his presence. “You’re Jack Frost, right?”

That makes him chuckled. “If I say yes, what would you feel?”

“Of course I’m excited to meet you. And…”

“And what, kiddo?”

That conversation makes the other kids walked closer to him in curious. There are much kids in varied problem. Some of them in wheelchair, has a sling at his arm, bandage at her eyes/head/legs.

“You kids looks so bored, don’t you?” Jack asked.

“Yeah,” they replied in unison.

“Can you make a snow in this place? We really want go outside but they not allowed us to do so,” one of the little patient asked.

Jack smirked as he heard that then he waved his staff to the celling and waved it left and right to form falling snows, makes those kids at first little surprised then turned into excited cheer as they picked up some snow on the floor then forming snowballs and throwing to one another. That happily scream from the kids makes one nurse noticed it thus she opened the door of the ward suddenly, makes those kids stopped playing snow and get back to their bed as the nurse leaved the scene. Jack sighed in relief since she can’t see him.

Priscilla got a report from the nurse in charge of abnormal behavior from the kids in Children Ward makes her rushed there followed by you.

As you and Priscilla arrived there, there’s 2 snowball attack, get hit into your face each. All of the kids giggled, as well as the winter spirit.

“Priscilla, my husband is actually winter spirit,” you said silently.

“That’s okay. And what if we went to somewhere else?” Priscilla asked.

You nodded as you followed her to one fisiotheraphy room. There’s one Afro-American 8-year-old girl with dreadlock hair struggled herself at the walking aid slowly. You noticed of one supporter at her right leg.

“She is Sammy. 5 months ago, her parents died in car crash while she survived there. Some of the eye-witness said that her right leg stuck at the traffic light-,” Priscilla explained but she paused as You hissed as you heard that.

“I can feel the pain…” you sighed.

“…and it takes time to pull her leg out. Unfortunatedly, that accident makes her leg disabled to move permanently. At first, she lost of her confidence since there were more humans mocked her as ‘disabled’ or somewhat, but when we gave her some councelling and fisiotherapy to build her confidence back also give her a second chance to walk once again,” Priscilla continued.

You nodded slowly then she brought you into one Intense Care Unit ward and you noticed of one 8-year-old boy laid unconsciously on the bed and there’s some bandage at his head and legs.

“We actually didn’t know who is this patient, but he had been found by citizen as he got beaten badly by them. According to the witness, he stole bread from one shop before he got beaten,” Priscilla said.

“Maybe I know who is he,’ you said as you get closer to the bed then you placed your left hand at his hand and…

FLASHBACK STARTS

Your eye-balls played that boy’s eye-view. You saw it happened around the construction site.

“Bambang, stop being a lazy-bone and do your work!!” there’s one shout makes there’s some weak motion to bring a stroller of some heavy bricks. That time, you can recognize that boy known as Bambang based from the name shouted before. That boy placed the bricks on the crowds of sands before he walked out from construction site as the work time was over.

That night, he had been forced to get sleep at the hot and crowded small room with other 10 child workers around 7-12. You predicted, Bambang was a child labour and that time, he broke out the window as he rushed out from the scene and he noticed of 3 men pursued after him thus he ran away across the city until he hidden himself inside 7 Eleven shop nearby. That time, he was very hungry as he wandered around every food sold there. He held one coconut bread before he inserted it inside his pocket before he rushed out from the shop. The cashier who noticed it pursued after him, followed with some citizen who noticed that. He kept been pursued until he laid on his knees since he was too tired before he got beaten by them.

FLASHBACK ENDED

“I found his identity. His name is Bambang and possibly he was a child labor who he forcefully worked under one syndicate, and based from his looks he’s more to Asian,” you added.

“That was amazing, (your name). You only know his identity only with... placing your hand on his head and everything like… wah la!!” Priscilla surprised.

“Okay... okay. Finally I got an idea for my task. Thanks to you for your cooperation,”

“No problem, (your name). And if you have a time, feel free to visit them,”

You leaved the Level 1 of the pediatric hospital as you have to look on Jack but he’s nowhere until you saw him outside playing snowball war with some kiddies happily.

“Jack, we have to fetch our kids,” you shouted.

He heard your voice as he stopped the game with the kids. They waved goodbye to him as they was enjoyed playing snowball game with the winter spirit.

“(your name), how’s your meeting with that girl?” Jack asked.

“It’s alright. Now I found much idea for that guerrilla ads. Now let’s go,” you replied,”

“Go to where?”

“To the school, idiot. Fetch those kids from there,”

Both of you giggled as you get into your MPV and so was him then you started the engine and leaving the scene.

At the same time, Esha and Lady Dearason who were inside their Mercedes car noticed of what were both of you doing at that pediatric hospital.

“I think that (your name) visited your grandkids inside that hospital,” Esha said.

“No, dear. As far as I know, they already live with her at her house,” Lady Dearason replied.

“So, what’s her purpose she went there?”

“We have to figure it out…”

---

That night, after you cooked dinner and washed dishes also guided them to make a homework, you decided to start off the task by the client at your studio. Your eye-balls started playing an images of Katrina kneed down on the floor leaning against the cornered wall, hiding her face down at her knees, the other one is Sammy stood against the wall, sighed while holding her stretch to help her to stand up and Bambang hidden himself under one cardboard box peeked up a bit to look around. There, you held the tablet pen then you started to draw the line art of them in Photoshop. Like a speed-draw, you finished the line art of them first, followed with coloring of their skin color, their clothes and accessories. After 90 minutes, you continued coloring some textures and rendering them so it look like realistic. In just 4 hours, you finished coloring them and you decide to massage your eyes a bit then looked to the sleepy kids. Your husband who noticed it brought Jeffery, Maximus and Antonio (one by one) to their bedroom while you lifted up Anastasia and Marcella (one by one too) and wished them good night together. There, you decided to shut down your laptop since you have more 6 days to finish your work.

Besides you finished your guerrilla ads work, you not forget to visit the pediatric hospital that you used to stop by to visit Katrina, Sammy and Bambang.

Katrina is the most hard to talk with since she afraid of strangers especially guys (including Jack) but when you tried to persuade her that you won’t do anything bad to her, she slowly trust you and one day she hugged you tight and said that you are like her own mother. There, she dare to tell you heartily of what her feelings after her parents got divorced and living in streets. She also let you to play with her personal teddy bear and you gave her one gift of doctor roleplaying set since you heard that Katrina wants to be a doctor when she grown up. So with the gift, she can continue to achieve her ambition even her life was too hard to struggle with.

When you interact with Sammy, she’s easily to have a talk with you even you will get mad to any naughty boys who mocked on her. You always held her hand to help her walking well and one day you teach her to kick a football as one of the physiotherapy thing and she finally kicked football to the goal-box very well and you clapped your hands as the congrats. Your husband also interact nicely with her and she also like to play snowball with him too.

While for Bambang, he recently woke up and that time he didn’t remember anything happened at his past, and you were a first person he saw and he thought you were an angel to save her. You decided to not tell him of his past or he will getting worst soon. Unfortunatedly, Bambang can’t see Jack since he didn’t know of some myth creatures thus you asked Jack to form snows at his ward and you told Bambang that Jack Frost is a winter spirit who responsible to bring down snow day and it’s up to him to believe. Slowly he believes in the winter spirit and finally one day… He gasped as he looked toward Jack, amazed without any word. One more thing, Bambang can’t speak English very well but he can understand of what anybody said to him in English. So, you decided to teach him some easy English words start from the basic such as showing of what is this object in English, how to ask question to somebody and so on.

---

An awaited day for you to show your finished work…

You were at the meeting room of your country branch of Unicef office as you show them 3 examples of guerrilla ads. The first one looks like Katrina kneed down on the floor leaning against the cornered wall hiding her face down at her knees and there’s a word written ‘Every children will face abuse and ONLY us can stop them’ , the second one is Sammy stood against the wall, sighed while holding her stretch to help her to stand up also a word written ‘Every children will face discrimination and ONLY us can stop them’ and the third one is Bambang hidden himself under one cardboard box peeked up a bit to look around also a text written ‘Every children will face extreme poverty and ONLY us can stop them’. Most of them impressed of your realistic airbrushing thus they want to exhibit them at targeted places at the mall and some open public places across your country for a few days to see the respond.

Outside of the meeting room, Jack leaned against the wall which it has a mirror showing the image of you and the clients as he can’t wait to find out your reaction, as well as the 5 kids.

“Daddy, will mama success to impress them?” Jeffery asked.

“I’m not sure Jeffery but looking on their face, they looked they love her guerilla ads,” Jack replied as Jeffery giggled.

“Not guerilla, daddy. Guerilla is like…” Jeffery make a sound of machine-gun and his hands showing like holding a large gun. “Like that,”

“But she said guerilla is like what she’s showing about,”

“Err... maybe you need to ask mama,”

“You don’t have to, daddy,” Antonio interrupted as he opened Safari apps at his iPad as he show the double tap of Google search and Jack noticed of what differences of ‘guerilla’ and ‘guerrilla’, it is how to pronounce it.

You came out from the meeting room with a smile and Jack hugged you tight, kissing your head

“What are their reaction, snowflake?” he asked heartily.

“Succeed!” you replied. “Just wait what happen in next few days,”

---

After few days those guerrilla ads of your own present across your country, most of them got a positive response since they thought those kids are real until they decide to look on them closer until they realized it was an ads from Unicef. You smiled sweetly for being satisfied of their response but lately… your mind thought of moments between you and those 3 kids in pediatric hospital. You really want to adopt them and treat them like your own kid but…

“(your name), what are you looking at?” (female friend name) asked as you and her hang out at Starbucks.

“Uh.. nothing,” you replied as you drank your (fav coffee type) ice-blended and continued. “There’s something playing in my mind and I don’t know how to do it,”

“Well, say to me,”

“Maybe you remember of the guerrilla ads that done by me for Unicef? Those kids inside the ads reminds me of 3 unfortunate children in one pediatric hospital. They felt comfort with me after I interacted with them for a whole week and…”

“…You want to adopt them?” she asked and you nodded slowly.

“You already have 5 kids, right?” she asked again. “Based from my observation, you took care of them very well so it’s not your offense to adopt those 3 kids but…”

“But what?” you asked in curious.

“Did your husband know this?”

“Not yet,”

“If not, you have to discuss with him. You need to get his permission to adopt them. If yes, just keep going. But if don’t, you have to postpone your wish for a few weeks or maybe not,”

“Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because I’m now under his responsibility,”

---

That night after you finished give those kids to sleep tight, you and Jack laid side by side on bed and for you this is the right time to get some discussion.

“Jack, can I have some talk with you?” you asked, looked sweetly to his eyes.

“Sure, snowflake. What is it?” Jack replied, smiled back to you.

“Do you remember of those 3 kids in the hospital that we used to interact with?”

“Did you mean, Katrina, Sammy and Bambang?”

“Yes, Jack. And…”

“And what?”

You explained, “I want to adopt them and being part of our life,”

“Did you say, you want to bring them here?”

“Yes, Jack. I want to see them live happily with their new life. I looked on their future that they still have a very far good things before them. I want to bring them out from there,”

That makes Jack thought of something looking up to the celling before he answered while looking at your eyes, “Fine. You’re allowed to adopt them,”

You hugged him tightly as you was so excited of his result, “Thanks Jack! I love you very much,”

“But there’s a condition, snowflake,” he smirked.

“What is it, hubby?”

“You have to treat ALL of them well without neglecting any of them. No matter who they are, they are still-,”

“-Our kids, Jack. I promise,”

That makes him smiled before planted one frozen kiss on your forehead, makes you slept at his shoulder and then he gave you a frigid hug bring both of you in sweet dream.

---

In duration of 5-8 days you went to National Registeration and Community Welfare Department office to make an adoption certificate since you want to adopt Katrina, Sammy and Bambang and after a few days your appliance succeed and you were allowed to bring them back home.

Hour 1545, (hometown) Pediatric hospital

The MPV stopped at the parking lot and deactivated the engine. All of you get off from MPV and walked closer to the reception counter and…

Katrina, Sammy and Bambang walked closer to the counter supervised by 2 nurse. That makes your 5 kids were in curious as they looked to those 3 children.

“Mama, who are they?” Antonio asked.

“They are our new siblings,” you replied. “From now on, they will live with us,”

“You said you adopted them? Oh, man! You gotta forgot of who we are?” Maximus shouted.

“Maximus, listen here. Your mama want to adopt them doesn’t mean she will neglect all of you,” Jack interrupted. “She still love you and treat all of you fairly,”

“Oh yeah. Let’s prove either mama can treat us and no judging them,” Maximus said arrogantly like he disbelieved you to treat them fairly.

“Mama…” Sammy said as she walked toward you but she fell down suddenly on the floor since her stretch that she used broken in half. You held one specialized walking stick and rushed toward her as you supported her with that walking stick and.

“Thanks mama,” she said to you as you guided her to walk closer to Jack and the kids.

Katrina walked slowly in little fear until Anastasia greeted her.

“Hi, there!” Anastasia said sweetly.

“Umm.. Hi,” Katrina replied, her eyes look down on the ground.

“My name’s Anastasia. And you?”

“Kat... Katrina,”

“Nice to meet you, Katrina, and from now we’re siblings,”

That makes Katrina looked away from Anastasia. “I… I don’t have siblings…”

“That’s okay, Katrina. You’ll used to them soon,” Jack said suddenly, makes Katrina rushed faster toward you, hugging your legs.

“What’s wrong, Katrina?” you asked her before you looked to your husband. “She’s afraid of guys including you, so you have to stay away from her,”

Jack sighed a bit before he walked to Bambang, as that little boy tried to normalize himself with his new father.

“Dad?” Bambang said in curious.

The winter spirit chuckled. “Yeah, I’m your dad from now. So how’s going?”

“Emm… not bad…”

“Okay, kids. Let’s get back home!!” you said happily as all of you get into the MPV and the kids fasten the seatbelt. Antonio, Anastasia and Jeffery guided Sammy, Katrina and Bambang to install the seatbelt, and you smiled as you looked toward them.

“Kids, listen up here. Start from now, you’ll live together in big family, so 5 of you, treat Katrina, Sammy and Bambang well. Don’t bully or underestimate them, okay? If I know it, you’ll get for that,” you advised

“Okay, mama,” Jeffery and Raymond’s twins replied.

“But are all of you comfortable yourselves?” Jack asked.

“That’s alright, daddy,” Sammy answered. “Those 5 of them are nice with me even I didn’t know them yet,”

But suddenly, Jack get off from the MPV, makes you shocked.

“Jack, where are you going?” you asked.

“I need to go to North Pole,” he replied. “Don’t worry, I’ll be back soon,”

“If you said so…” you interrupted as you started the engine. “Let’s rocking!!” Then the MPV started to move, leaving the hospital area while Jack fled up to the sky in opposite direction.

Hour 2330, Your home

As you arrived home with those 8 kids, you ordered them to take a shower first while you cooked some dinner. For the first time for Katrina, Sammy and Bambang living with you, they enjoyed of your home-cooking. Sammy didn’t expected that you cooked her favorite food, vegetable nacho’s. Katrina looks silent as she kept eating her fried rice while Bambang enjoyed your meatball soup even it’s little spicy. Jeffery, Antonio, Anastasia, Maximus and Marcella ate soup noodle, fish and chips, mini chicken pepperoni pizza, spicy macaroni, and steamed rice with fried chicken + mashed potatoes respectively. 45 minutes later, Jeffery and the twins finished their homework while Katrina, Sammy and Bambang were playing with her teddy bear, watching Cartoon Network and reading English textbook respectively, while you set your new kids’ school schedule since they will go to school in Year 1 with the rest tomorrow. Around an hour later, those 5 kids finished their homework while the new kids were getting sleepy thus Anastasia and Marcella brought Katrina and Sammy to their bedroom and so the same for Bambang, brought to the bedroom by Jeffery, Antonio and Maximus.

“Good night, kids,” you said to all of them after you kissed their forehead and you decided to get sleep but stopped by your husband’s presence at the balcony as he recently arrive from North Pole. You opened the sliding door, smiling to him. When he walked inside living room, you kissed his hand and he hugged you, dropped his staff on the floor.

“I have something to give to our new kids, snowflake,” Jack said as he took out 3 bracelets from his pocket. One is pink with heart shape gemstone, One is yellow with pentagon shape gemstone and one is black with star-of-David shape gemstone. “North asked me to give these to them since Pitch also targeted them,”

“W-what?” you shocked a bit but your voice silenced down as you heard that. “Pitch targeted them too but why?”

“He didn’t tell me but could be they also have a fear that they scared about,”

“Maybe for their fear against tragic past, Jack,”

“I also think that. And we have to protect them no matter what,”

There, you held those 3 bracelets then you wear the pink one to Katrina, the yellow one to Sammy and the black one to Bambang secretly without bring them awake. And finally, you and the winter spirit get a lovely sleep together in your room after get the exciting day.

That night…

Pitch appeared with darkness inside your living room before disappeared and re-appear at the girls’ bedroom. He shocked as he failed to touch them to bring them nightmare even he tried it much times. He was lost of control thus he formed black sand over each of their bracelets at first the gemstone’s power can decrease the nightmare power until…

…The black sand entered inside the gemstone and it took over the bracelet, makes them struggled in their nightmare of being abused by their granny (Anastasia and Marcella), pursued by one stranger at the back alley (Katrina) and her right leg been eaten by black wolf (Sammy). That makes Pitch smirked as he continued his plan to bring nightmare to the boys as he did the same process to their bracelets and it succeed, causing them get the nightmare of been beaten badly by random human (Bambang) , get bounced badly by virus replicas in one dark room (Antonio), being a science experiment by his Science teacher and get slaughtered like a rat (Maximus) and witnessing Jack Frost’s death been killed by Esha McFair before his eye (Jeffery)

“Proven those bracelets can’t help you to fight your fear…” Pitch said to all of them. “You will get the dark future and nobody will help you to get out from there…” he added before he disappeared from the living room after that.

---

At the next day…

Those kids were in weakly emotion as they get a seat around dining table while you prepared them some banana waffles.

“Good morning, kids. And…” you said. “Why are you look moody?”

“Mama, we got a terrible nightmare last night,” Jeffery replied and all of them agreed.

“Crap! That bracelet also can’t help them?” you said to yourself before you called Jack as he walked out from the bedroom then he walked closer to you and get a seat.

“What’s wrong with all of you?” he asked in curious.

“Jack, I think those bracelets can’t help them to stop their nightmare,” you interrupted.

“Did you said ‘they got nightmare’? But they’re supposed not to happen,”

“That’s what I want to tell you,” you grabbed Jeffery’s hand and your finger touched the blue gemstone and you got electrical shocked thus you released his hands away.

“Is it hurts, snowflake?” Jack responded as he looked to your hand and kissed it.

“Look, even I can’t touch the bracelets. Must be… the Boogieman cursed them,”

“This is not good, snowflake. I have to meet my friends for this,”

You ordered those kids to remove their bracelets. At first, they don’t want to but as Jack persuaded them, they willingly removing them and put inside one black pouch as you gave it to your husband.

“Be safe hubby,” you said to Jack as he opened the sliding door while you and the kids at front door.

“Don’t worry. I’ll be back soon safely,” he replied before he kissed your forehead then he rushed out to the balcony and jumped down and fled up to the sky. You shut the sliding door as you ordered the kids to get into the MPV, followed with you.

Jack arrived at the balcony of your room and opened the sliding door and laid on the sofa, thinking of the moment when he arrived at North Pole recently.

FLASHBACK STARTS

“North, I have to inform this,” Jack said as he gave the pouchbag of the bracelets to North. “Pitch had cursed them and this is the bad news for them. They will in big trouble,”

North shocked a bit as he grabbed the pouch. “I know why Pitch targeted them,”

“What is it?”

“Actually, those 8 kids that you’re taking care with are the chosen children by…” Tooth said before she continued. “REVO GUARDIANZ,”

“REVO GUARDIANZ? Who are they?” Jack asked.

“REVO GUARDIANZ are the guardians who protect children before all of us,” North replied. “But they died when they fought against Pitch,”

“You’re gonna be kidding me,”

“That’s not a joke, you talking fridge,” Bunnymund interrupted. “They used to protect children, and so we are,”

“I don’t need your talk, you Easter Kangaroo,”

“Jack, you need to listen to this. Pitch will kill them if we didn’t give you something-,” Tooth said but stopped as Jack fled away from the headquarters, makes her disappointed.

“This is not good for them,” North said.

FLASHBACK ENDED

Jack snapped back to reality as he heard the doorbell thus she woke up and opened the door, as one teen boy held the brown envelope (that Esha put in)

“This is for you,” that teen boy said as Jack snatched the envelope and slammed the door. The winter spirit laid on the sofa as he looked the envelope only written ‘To: Jack Frost’ thus he tear the edge of the envelope as over 50 4R glossy papers dropped down on the floor thus he picked it one by one and…

He shocked as he checked of each photo of you kissing with random guys each, either they were your workmates, ex-campus mates, your male clients, even Raymond and Rudy the playboy. He shake his head slowly as he couldn’t believe of what he already seen until he found one A4 photocopied paper of the marriage certificate written your full name as the bride and… Raymond Dearason as the groom, also the date of the marriage written in (current day and month) 4 years ago.

“It couldn’t be… it couldn’t be…” he shake his head and terrified of it until he heard of one doorbell, thus he picked all of those things on the coffee table and opened the door. Those 8 kids rushed inside the bedroom to take a shower while you grabbed his hand to kiss but he pulled away.

“Jack, what’s wrong?” you asked but he didn’t answered as he pulled you to the living room, showing you the glossy photos that he already seen.

“Now you have to tell me what are all of this,” Jack shouted as you checked each photos and you shocked much.

“Jack, these are not true. I was not-,” you defended yourself but stopped with one icy slap across your cheek, looked to him sadly. “What’s my fault to you?”

“How dare you cheated on me and those kids, (full name). I thought you were on your job to take care them but actually…” he grabbed your arms harder and looking to your eyes madly. “Why did you make all of this? WHY??”

“Jack, these are not true. Honestly I haven’t kissed other guy out there, even make ‘project’ with them behind your presence. Jack, you have to listen, this is a slander. A sabotage!!”

Those 8 kids peeked up at the cornered wall to find out what happen, listening of your quarrel.

“It can’t be. Why mama and daddy arguing?” Jeffery asked.

Katrina sobbed a bit as she remembered of the moment when her parents divorced. “Mama..”

“Katrina, it won’t be long,” Anastasia persuaded.

“And one thing that I really disappointed of you,” Jack said deeply in little anger before he show you the photocopied of marriage certificate between you and Raymond. “Can you tell me since when you married with him?”

“When.. when…” you muted for a while as you remembered that you get married with Raymond secretly but you decided to not live together with him since you were in identity crisis of finding your moments with Jack and it already happen. “Jack…” you sobbed. “Yes, I used to get married with Raymond. But that was 4 years ago. And now he’s dead!!”

“I don’t care with it and from now on,” Jack walked to the sliding door, opening it. “You better think twice if you looked for me,” then he jumped down before he leaved the scene. You dropped on your knees, some tears flowing across your cheeks listening to the kids’ cried as they witnessed the incident. You looked to every photos that already make both of you apart…

These perfect moment is already over because you’ve been changed, no longer like I used to know.

Until when you always blamed on me? You never know I was broken-hearted.
You assumed me with judging me unfairly. It was a dilemma for me to love you, understanding you.

Let me been blamed for you, always justified of all your words.
Your love makes me sad and feeling weak, but I already drown in love.

“Jack... forgive me. I was sinful to you and our kids…” you sobbed.

Hour 1700

Ayie and Bob were outside of the recording studio while Jack suddenly landed before them.

“Bro, what happen to you?” Ayie asked.

“Not your business, guys,” Jack replied, still looking at them madly.

“Did you argued with (your name)?” Bob asked. “What happen?” but Jack ignored Bob’s question and interrupted with one phone call and Ayie answered it.

“Hello,” Ayie replied and he listened of the call and… “What? Rose? Where? Where?” he ended the call as he looked to Bob and Jack. “Bro, we have to save Rose!!”

Hour 1800, one Highway rest hut

There are a few motorcyclists stopped by making loud noises and harassing random people there. Ayie and Bob stopped their Harley Davidson motorbike, Dora get on Bob’s bike while Jack landed beside them. Ayie rushed toward one cool-looking motorcyclist which Rose stood beside him thus Ayie pushed him harder.

“Hey, you! You want to destroy her life, right?” Ayie shouted. “That’s my girlfriend, ya know?” he added while Rose supported that guy to stand up.

“Really?” That guy known as Max challenged Ayie. “Let’s get the race. If you won, you’ll get your girl back. But if you lose, you’ll lose your motorbike, also your friends and that winter spirit,”

“I’m also involved?” Jack said to himself as he heard that but Bob and Dora calmed him down.

In short story, Ayie and Max started to make an illegal race and all of the motorcyclists either male or female became witness of the scene. Max accelerated his motorbikes before Ayie but he dare to speed up. Along over 7 kilometer they race off…

Max disappeared nowhere, makes Ayie lost his direction. He thought Max used shortcut to win the race, makes him frustrated. Max laughed evilly as he used one shortcut outside the highway to ease him win the race, but not so fast! Jack Frost already followed Ayie and Max racing since the beginning and he already predicted Max used his dirty trick, that makes Ayie is supposed to make a trick too thus he pointed his staff on the road and makes it slippery. It caused Max’ Kawasaki motorbike can’t control itself thus he fell into one big drain after been dragged over 500 meter.

“Whoow! I can feel the pain,” Jack responded, smirked then he fled off to Ayie as he arrived at the finishing line (back at the highway that they recently arrived). Ayie’s presence makes all of the witness shouted excitedly to see the new winner.

“Ayie!!” Rose shouted as she hugged Ayie. “Luckily you’re here. If don’t, Max will kill me,”

“Max will kill you? What did he done to you, Rosie?” Ayie asked.

Jack landed before both of them, smirked since his thunderstorm buddy won the battle with aid of his trick.

“Bro, where’s Max?” Ayie asked.

“You mean, that rival?” Jack asked. “He already lose the race,”

“And you too!” Max snatched Jack’s staff suddenly from behind. “Like I didn’t know that you’ll use Jack Frost as your ‘emergency tool’, Ayie Ghazali?” he said to Ayie.

“Give me back my staff, you freak!!” Jack shouted.

“Jack’s right. Give it back or…” Ayie tried to persuade Max.

“Or-,” Max break down that wooden staff into half then throw it into the freezing lake nearby as he laughed seeing Jack rushed toward the lake but collapsed suddenly, makes Ayie, Bob, Rose and Dora get after him. Max get on his motorbike then leaving the scene followed with the other motorcyclists.

“This is not good. I think his staff is the key of Jack’s power,” Ayie said. “Who will get it back? I can’t since my lightning power not allowed me to get into the water,”

“Me too. I’m too heavy for that,” Bob said.

“Better let me in. Jack already saved me, so I have to help him,” Rose said.

But Dora slide along the freezing lake and grabbed Jack’s broken staff and decide to turn back but… she screamed as she looked down.

“The ice is cracking! Help me!!” Dora shouted.

That makes all of them in panic, thus Rose get her phone to make a call.

Meanwhile, you were still crying on your bed of what was happen to you and Jack, and stopped as you got a phone call from Rose and you answered it.

“(your name). This is bad news. Jack is with us, but he fainted suddenly. Dora is in trouble and she will drown in no time,” Rose said before you disconnected the call thus you rushed away from your home.

“Mama, where are you wanna go?” Jeffery asked.

“I want to meet daddy,” you replied before you slammed and locked the door, makes the kids rushed to the door and opened it but it’s locked. You rushed to your motorbike and started the engine leaving the scene.

Back to the scene, Dora stand still on the cracked ice while Rose and Bob decided to get a slow step closer to Dora. You arrived right at the time as you rushed before Dora, laid your hand to her then you pulled her closer to Rose and Bob as they and Dora rushed toward Ayie and give the broken staff and grip them into Jack’s hands and combined them into one.

“(your name), you have to get out from there!!” Dora shouted.

“No, let me die here!!” you shouted back before your necklace of 5 gemstones (refer to Fiery Ice Deadline pt9) shining suddenly then you shut your eyes and…

The ice break off into half and you shouted since it’s too late to get away.
