Jack Frost Fanfiction: All Alone Chapter 21

Chapter 21
The moon seemed to get bigger and brighter.
“Uhm… Right, well. Thanks. For letting me see… eh… this.” I said pointing to the plants grown on my arms and hands. “But, I ehm…. You’re getting…. larger…. and I’m talking to you… so clearly this is a very weird situation.” I laughed nervously. “So. yeah. uhm. good talk. I’ll just be going now. don’t mind me.”
“…” I continued listening. I’m not really sure how. It’s not like it… the moon… was talking… it’s just like he was talking through its moonbeams or something.
“Of course I’ll try. But ehm… I’m a mortal human… I probably shouldn’t even be allowed to be here… so clearly I don’t know how to…. eh… leave? I guess is the right word?”
The moon chuckled.
“… The map will show me the way? What what map?”
“W-Wait! I don- Will you stop talking in riddles! Okay. Bye! Have a nice… full moon.. night…. thing.”
I realized I was waving goodbye, to something I didn’t even know was alive, let alone was talking to me. And I clearly had no idea how to say goodbye to it either. This has been a very weird week, indeed.
“All right. Uhm. Well. A map? I don’t see a map in my pockets, or on the floor or on me anyway.” I said half muttering and half asking the moon, even though he already made it very clear he wouldn’t talk anymore. Sighing, I stretched my arms as high as they could possibly go, and immediately was pushed up, ascending so quickly, my legs buckled, and I couldn’t move.
Gasping and immediately covering my eyes, I tried to assure myself it was fine, and I finally lowered my hands and fluttered my eyes open, I realized what exactly my elevator really was.
A tree stump.
I lowered my hands, the stump lowering. Surprisingly the stump dissolved into the ground, and the grass didn’t look like anything had been on it. Hovering my foot over it for a few minutes, as if it’d magically became invisible, and it really didn’t disappear. But finding it completely disappeared, I tested out my abilities again. I lifted my hands up, and started kicking and punching and jabbing randomly, plants scattering wherever I thrusted them.  Out of breath and panting, I suddenly realized that I was in the sky.
Taking a deep breath and letting out, I walked slowly to the edge, still half a foot away, and looked out, when I saw something.
“Oh that’s amazing!!! But totally unfair! making the map where someone as high as you can see it.” I smirked at the moon. “But thanks nonetheless.” Making a flat and broad leaf, and planting that on a piece of bark for stiffness, I maneuvered vines around and copied the shrubs below that made up the map until I was all set. I looked at my phone. It’s been an hour since I remember seeing them.
“I don’t have enough time to walk there….” I muttered. “Maybe I can ride on my vines?”
I thrusted my vines forward, and the vines grew quickly horizantly outward, but not carrying me with it.
Blowing a loose hair out of my face, I concentrated, closing my eyes, and thrust it upwards and outwards, this time, I rode with it. “WHOOHOOO!!!!!!!” I yelled out, feeling the warm breeze in my face. The uneasy feeling about the breeze not being cooler made me nervous about Jack, and I tried to push it out of my mind, and focused on trying to read the map, which was kinda difficult, considering I can’t drive yet, and haven’t really had much interest in being able to read maps, a lack of interest, that I was now regretting. Making a stand for the map, I concentrated on leading the vines to where the map said to go, or where I think it told me to go.
After about a half an hour of this, I finally found a large mountain. Looking at the map again, the red x was inside the mountain.
Blowing air out of my cheeks, annoyed, I muttered. “You sure don’t make this easy do you, Pitch?”
Closing my eyes, still standing on my vine, I took a deep breath, and clenched my fists, still at my side and brought them outwards. Once my hands had reached the heighed of my head, I thrusted my hands forward, the plans, going inside the rock, making smoke rise.
I lowered myself, and cautiously walked inside the giant hole. Coughing a little blowing the smoke away from my face with my hands.
“You know, You could have knocked. I mean, amazing entry and all. But you could have just knocked.”
“O..oh… s..sorry..” I sputtered. “Why do I keep apologizing to you?”
Pitch laughed dryly. “I don’t know, but it is quite amusing.” He smirked.
I sighed exasperatedly, looking around, the smoke slowly fading.
“Well. I’m sure you have plenty of catching up to do, so I’ll just leave you to it then. I have places to go, things to see, people to ignore. So many things so little time.” And with that, thick swarms of black sands whirled and took him, leaving me stuttering and sputtering, trying to think of what to do now.
I stood there for a while, until a quick, sharp pain shot through my skin, letting out a gasping cry. I just stared ahead, feeling nothing but pain in my leg, forcing me to kneel down. Gasping for breath, I looked down. It was quite a wide wound and blood was gushing out. Trying to stop it with my hands, and seeing that wasn’t doing a thing, I tried wrapping it with plants tightly. The blood was soaking up the plants around the wound, but it stopped spreading. Standing up, still looking at it, and I nodded, crossing my arms. “Yep. that’ll do nicely.”
And then it dawned on me.
Whoever or whatever just cut me, is probably still here. I quickly turned around, and out of the smoke came……
North.
