Jack Frost Fanfiction: All Alone Chapter 3

Chapter 3          
I had a very long day at my current job, being a waitress. I was so tired when Stephanie called, saying she was taking Jamie to the park and if I wanted to meet them there, so I grabbed my coat, rushing out the door.
Stephanie and Jamie were talking on a tree stump when I got there. They both brightened up.
“Hey there! I’m gonna go find a picnic table. Man, a lot of people are here, I hope there’s some left. Will you two stay here?” Stephanie asked.
I knew what she was really asking – if I could watch him while she was getting lunch ready. I smiled and nodded.
“Yeah. Jamie got some new ice skates, so we’ll stay here where all the fun is.” I grinned.
Stephanie laughed, grabbed the basket and left saying, “I’ll call you when I find one.”
After waving goodbye to Stephanie, I looked down at Jamie, who was busy putting on his skates.
I sat down on the ground, pointy dried up grass poking through the new snow.
Trying to ignore the feeling of being watched, I tried to smile and watch Jamie, happily skating. Lucky for me. He already knows how to ice skate. I chuckled softly. I had no clue. All I could probably do would be to try to catch him if he falls. I thought.
Jamie looked up, terrified. “Miss Eli-” He started to call, when the ice below him started making rather nerve-wrecking noises.
               Quickly getting up on my feet, I got to the edge of the frozen pond.
               “I’m going to get you. All right? So.. uh… How are you doing? Got plans for Christmas break?” I tried to preoccupy his mind, but he wouldn’t have anything to do with it.
               “I… I’m… I’m scared, Lizzy.” Jamie blinked a few times, but despite his efforts, a tear slid down his left cheek.
               “It’s okay, Jamie.” I said trying to sound confident, and smiley and bubbly. “Don’t feel scared okay? We’re… we’re going to have… fun… instead!” I started the last sentence, not at all sure of what on earth I was trying to get at, but slowly grew confident, and trying to ignore the feeling of déjà vu and the uneasy feeling that I was being watched.
               I quickly looked around, taking off my purse and dropping it on the snow on the bank of the pond. “We’re uhm. We’re going to play hopscotch! Uhhh…” I looked around, when a stick with snow on it dropped from the trees.
               “Whoa! Uh… Okay… I’ll use this..” I muttered, slowly picking it up. Holding the staff loosely in one hand, I began to look for a strong looking patch of ice. Jumping on it, and almost slipping, I called out, “One!” Smiling, I jumped to another piece, and called out “Two!” I started to jump again, when the ice started to crack below me. Jumping quickly to the next patch, roughly a yard or two away from Jamie, calling out, “Three!” The ice cracked under Jamie. Jamie’s smiling happy face grew worried, as he looked down and stared at the cracking ice. I gripped the stick and used the hook on the end, to safely lift Jamie and fling him onto a snow bank. Sighing happily, I started walking off the ice, when the ice finished cracking, and immediately let out, collapsing, along with me on it.
               Sudden cold and fear sprinted throughout my body. My lungs let out the last of its air, and I was out.
