This story takes place after my first story; Jack's Inner Battle. I am going through and editing most of my stories to try and fix some spelling and grammar errors, and plot holes, ect. And also yes I do know Jack's human last name was not Frost but hey, it's a fanfiction meaning the story can be whatever I want it to be along with names and pasts and so on (though I guess it's a long time to bring that up XD ). anyway I'll mark all the chapters I edit as EDITED. Just so u know.

MiM had finally decided it was time to reveal Jack Frost's past memories to the guardians, as he did with the other guardians as well. He did that to strengthen the bonds between the guardians, however he knew this task would be a bit tougher to face as he knew the young spirit's past all too well. He knew Jack had things that one would never want to share, even in the face of death, but this needed to be done sooner rather than later. Jack needed to learn- without a doubt- the guardians were his family now, and families would do anything for one another, no matter what one's past held.
The guardians often wondered what kind of secrets their youngest member held but had waited until either Jack told them or when MiM deemed it necessary for them to know.
A bright light from the moon surrounded the guardians. The next thing they knew, they were in an old village. The sun was shining brightly and the air was warm. People were wandering around, children playing and adults chatting. Everyone smiling and laughing. Even though they were standing in the middle of the small village no one was able to notice them.
"Where are we?" Bunny asked.
"My past. From when I was human." Jack asked, he may have given MiM permission but that didn't make him feel any better about his friends actually seeing his past. Bunny could tell that Jack was still a little uncomfortable with all this. He placed a paw on Jack's shoulder.
"Don't worry, mate." He assured. "We won't judge you. We all went through it, everyone has something they don't want to share. But it makes us stronger when we do."
Jack nodded, it was too late to turn back now. All he could do now is watch and wait to see how they would react when they knew his darker secrets.
The guardians were walking through the old town, all of a sudden they saw a kid, around eight or nine, running around with a slightly older girl. The boy had dark brown hair and brown eyes while the girl had beautiful blonde hair and green eyes.
"Sis! Sis! I want to go play in the forest now! Can we?" He pulled on his sister's arm. She looked nervous at first. "Please, Claire?" He gave her really big puppy dog eyes. She chuckled and nodded.
"Okay, but not for too long, Papa and Mama will be back home soon." The boy let out a victorious "Yay!" and ran off towards the forest outside of the small town.
"Wait, Jack! Come back!" The girl
"Is that you, mate?" Bunny asked. Jack nodded with a small smile.
"Yea. That's my older sister, Claire. We used to be really close. Did everything together." Jack said as he watched his sister chase after him.
"Aww! You were so cute!" Tooth cooed. "I mean, you still are, but you look really adorable as a kid."
"Thanks." Jack chuckled.
The scene changed to the forest. It was slightly darker now. They heard Claire calling worriedly for her brother. "Jack! Come on, this isn't funny! The game is over, you won. We have to go back now! Jack!"
"What's going on?" Sandy asked with his sand.
"I was really good at hide and seek. I didn't come out until I was found, or Claire threatened to tell on me." North was glad that Jack wasn't as tense as he was earlier, he almost seemed to be enjoying it.
"Okay Jack," Claire threatened, "I'm going to go tell father on you!" She smiled victoriously when the boy swung out the tree he was in.
"Aww! No fair! I'm coming." Jack let go of the tree branch and landed on the forest floor. He made a 'ta da!' pose but recoiled when he saw the mad look on his sister's face.
"Jack, we're late, Mama and Papa will be mad if we don't go back home now. You know how dangerous the forest is at night."
"Okay." Jack pouted.
"Why does she look so worried?" Bunny asked.
"Back then it was really dangerous to be out in the woods alone. She was always more cautious than I was and worried about everything." Jack answered.
"Why does that not surprise me?" Bunny sighed. Jack chuckled, along with North and Sandy. Tooth rolled her eyes and hushed them.
The scene then changed to the inside of an old style house made of wood. Jack and Claire were in a small room that was dimly lit by a single wax candle.
"Time to go to sleep Jack." Claire begged. Jack was giggling and tried to jump on his bed only to have his sister stop him and hold him down. "I can't sleep! Tell me a story now!"
Claire gave him a grim look. "Please!" He added.
She smiled. "Okay. But just one, then you go to bed." She paused as Jack snuggled under the covers. "Not so long ago the was a time when darkness and fear ruled over the hearts of humans." Young Jack gasped. "This time is known as the dark ages."
