I do not own Rise Of The Guardians but I do own my OC's. Summary: Autumn Pines is the sweet, caring, and beautiful Fall spirit. When she met Jack Frost, they became friends instantly. When the Halloween spirit, Ava Hollow, threatens Autumn, could Jack Frost and the other Guardians help her?
"Open your eyes child…" A girl with red-brown hair, who looked about sixteen, opened her green eyes and looked straight at the moon. The moon looked peaceful and smiled down at the girl. "You're name is Autumn Pines, and you are the Fall spirit. You must bring fall to the world."
Autumn smiled at the kind moon. "Thank you." The moon said nothing else, so she turned around and walked towards a tree. Once she touched the tree, its leaf's became different colors. It was beautiful. She smiled and ran to touch more trees. The wind started to pick her up, and she learned that she could fly. She flew, laughing and touched the top of the trees, putting the beautiful colors on the leafs.
When Autumn was done she flew over to a small village. People where smiling and laughing, playing music by the fire. Children were laughing and playing. A little boy was running, playing tag with his friends and is little brother ran after them. The little boy fell on the ground and started to cry.
"Oh, dear! Autumn walked over to the crying boy. "It's okay, sweetie, it was a little fall. Let me help you!" Autumn tried to pick the boy up but her hands went right through him.
"What?" Autumn gasped. She didn't believe what just happened. The little boy's brother came over to help him, and went right through Autumn. She screamed, not understanding what is happening. No one seemed to hear her. She stepped back from the two boys and walked right through a woman who seemed to be the mother. Autumn was frightened, and flew away from the village.
She flew to a lake, sat down and cried. She doesn't understand why people walk through her. She doesn't know why they can't hear or see her; all she knew was that she didn't like it.
The girl didn't realize that figure appeared behind her.
"Would you shut up?" A woman's voice called out. "Your annoying sobbing is giving me a head ache.
Autumn jumped and looked behind her. "Y-you can see me?"
The women raised in eyebrow. "You new or something? What is your name?"
"My name is Autumn Pines, and I'm the fall spirit." Autumn explained.
The woman eyes widened and looked at the moon with angry expression. Then she looked at the girl. "Listen here, redhead! I don't like you, so you better stay away from me, or I will send Pitch Black after you!" The women disappeared, leaving a hurt Autumn.
She didn't know who that woman was, or who that Pitch Black person she mentioned, but she knew not to mess with her. Autumn looked up at the moon. "Why can't the people in the village see me, and why is the only person who can, hate me?"
The moon was silence for a moment. "Child, that woman can see you because she is a spirit, just like you. Her name is Ava Hollow and she is the Halloween spirit; it is wise not to anger her." Autumn frowned but nodded.
…
Autumn Pines has been around for about 50 years, bringing fall around the world. She loved her job, but there was one thing Autumn really wanted. She wanted children to see her and believe. Not many spirits want that, most just want to be alone, but she is not like most spirits. When Autumn met Jack Frost, she felt like they both shared something in common.
Autumn stayed up in the tree, watching the white haired boy with a wooded staff throw snowballs at the children, smiling and having a good time.
"Can they see him?" Autumn pondered. Sadly, her question was answered as one of the kids ran right through the boy. The boy gasped surprisingly then he put his free hand in his pocket and flew away from the kids.
Autumn frowned seeing this, remembering the same thing happened to her many times. She flew the same direction the boy had gone.
She stopped at a lake near the village and saw the boy in the middle, talking to the Man In Moon
"Why did you put me here?" The boy asked the moon. "Why can't anybody see me?" The boy waited for an answer, but never got any.
"Are you a new spirit?" Autumn asked, standing next to the frozen lake.
"Who are you?" The boy asked, staring at the wavy auburn haired girl in front of him.
Autumn chuckled slightly at his reaction. "I'm Autumn Pines, the Fall spirit." She smiled sweetly. "I saw what happened earlier, it's scary not understanding why people can't see us…"
The boy frowned. "They can't see you either?" Autumn shook her head and smiled sadly. The boy flew over to Autumn. "The moon told me my name is Jack Frost, and that I'm a Winter spirit."
"Nice to meet you, Jack!" Autumn smiled. "How long have you been around?"
"I woke up in the ice yesterday." Jack answered leaning down of his staff.
Autumn was surprised, but smiled anyway. "Whoa, I guess I have to teach you how to control, your powers!"
Jack looked confused. "Powers?"
"Yes, how else would you bring Winter around the world?"
Autumn laughed, making Jack smile. "Okay, show me then." That day, Jack and Autumn became great friends.
~301 years later~
Autumn flew over the small town, Burgess, touching the trees below her so they would change into different beautiful colors. Children laughing and playing in the park distracted Autumn from her work. She few over and watched the children with a soft smile on her face.
"What are you going to be for Halloween, Jamie?" A tall girl asked a smaller brown haired boy.
"I'm going to be a mummy!" The boy, Jamie exclaimed. "Sophie, what are you going to be?"
A little girl with blonde hair jumped up and down. "Bunny! Hop, hop, hop!"
The children laughed. "The Easter Bunny is going to be happy when he hears about that!" Jamie said.
Autumn smiled, she knew these children, they where Jack's first believers and helped fight Pitch Black. She was so happy for Jack becoming a Guardian; it was exactly what he needed.
Autumn sighed sadly, watching the children play; she knew they couldn't see her.
"Aw what is this, the cheerful Fall spirit is actually sad for once?" A taunting voice called out from behind Autumn. She turned around looking at a black haired woman with a dark robe on. "Does someone want to be believed in and play with the little kiddies?"
"Ava, they can't see you either." Autumn said, trying to be nice.
"I don't need to be believed in because I give them a holiday that they love!" The witch exclaimed. "What do you give them? Different colored trees? I don't even know why Man In Moon choose you to be the Fall spirit, it should have been me!"
Autumn was offended and looked down at the ground. Ava snorted. "What, you gonna cry now?" Ava pushed Autumn and she fell to the ground. Autumn looked up at the witch with fear that she was really going to hurt her. "You're not even going to fight back? Wow, you're so pathetic! How about you run to that Winter spirit and go cry to him!"
Autumn continued to stare at Ava fearfully, unable to move. "Tch! You're wasting my time!" Ava yelled and flew away from Autumn. She got up from the ground and brushed off the dirt from her blue jeans and pink jacket. She looked at the children who were still playing. With a long sigh, Autumn flew up in the sky to finish her job.
After Autumn brought fall to the United States, she went back to Burgess's lake. The moon was shining brightly in the sky.
"Why did you pick me the be the Fall spirit?" Autumn asked the moon. He never answered, leaving Autumn confused. "Why is Ava so mean to me, she has been like that for years!" The moon still didn't answer.
"Manny still hasn't been giving you answers?" A voice called out from behind her. Autumn jumped and turned around but was relieved who she saw.
"Jack Frost, I think you came a little too early to bring snow." She laughed.
Jack put his hand to his heart, pretending that he was hurt. "What, I can't come and see my best friend, who I haven't seen in a whole year?"
Autumn laughed. "It's good to see you Jack, how are you doing with your new Guardian duties?"
Jack smiled, showing perfect white teeth. "It's great, but I'm hiding from Bunny right now, a prank has gone very wrong…"
Autumn rolled her eyes. "What did you do this time Jack?" She asked putting a hand on her hip.
He rubbed the back of his head. "I got paint all over his fur..."
"Jack!" Autumn gasped.
"Now he is all pink!" Jack laughed. Autumn couldn't help but laugh with him.
"So, Autumn, how are you doing?" Jack asked once they both stopped laughing. Autumn frowned, which made Jack worried. "Are you alright?
Autumn began to tear up, Ava was being really mean to her and she actually pushed her. Autumn wiped her tears away, which made Jack freak.
"Hey, hey Autumn, tell me what's wrong!" Jack said putting an arm around his friend. Autumn shivered slightly from his cold touch and tried to tell Jack what happened but she couldn't form words. Instead, Autumn began to cry more and buried her face into her hands. Jack's heart melted to see his friend like this. Jack pulled her into a hug. "It's alright, Autumn, I'm here."
"Aw isn't that sweet?" Ava called from behind the two friends. "You actually did run to the Winter spirit to cry to him. You're so weak and needy!"
"Ava, stop making her life miserable!" Jack turned around and pointed his staff, threatening the witch.
"Can it, Frost!" Ava yelled. "I can mess with her all I want!"
Jack sent ice at Ava, which she dodged perfectly. "If you're looking for a fight, then fight me!"
Autumn stared at Jack. "Jack no!" She cried.
Ava smirked. "Well, if it isn't the Prince protecting the Princess, how disgusting!" She pointed her broom stick at Jack. "Come on then, Snowflake, let's dance!"
Jack jumped up and sent more ice toward Ava. She dodges and sends a ball of lightning at Jack from her broom. Jack moves out of the way and attacks again. Autumn watches in fear of her friend's safety.
"Ava, please stop!" Autumn yelled.
Ava looks over at the auburn haired girl. "Shut up!" Ava sends a ball of lighting toward Autumn.
Autumn's eyes widen and put her hands in front of her face to protect herself. An ice barrier surrounded Autumn, protecting her from harm.
"Come on, Autumn!" Jack grabbed her arm softly and flew up with her in the sky.
Ava glared darkly at the two. "You will pay for this…" She mumbled under her breath.
Autumn flew in the sky next to Jack, who was still holding her hand. "Jack, where are you taking me."
"To the North Pole, you need to stay away from Ava." Jack said.
"But –"
"No buts! Ava is too dangerous!" Jack said looking at Autumn with a worried expression. Then he noticed that he was still holding her hand.
"Oh, sorry…" He blushed and let go of her hand.
Autumn chuckled at him. "It's alright." She said. She didn't really mind, she thought it was cute that he was holding her hand. She blushed and looked away so Jack wouldn't see.
After a couple minutes of flying, Autumn turned to look at Jack. "Thank you by the way."
Jack smiled. "Of course, anything for my best friend!" Jack playfully elbowed Autumn, and she did the same thing.
Jack suddenly stopped flying. "Hey, I'll race you to the Pole!"
"Is that a challenge, Frost?" Autumn smiled.
"You bet!" Jack smirked.
"Ready?" Autumn asked.
"One…"
"Two…"
"Three!" They both flew at top speed toward the Pole.
