AN: So I'm a huge fan of Rise of the Guardians so I got on Facebook and saw the pics of Jack and his sister. I also had a dream about Jack falling through the ice so I decided to mash the past of Jacks memories and my dream together to create this story. There are some name changes. If I get over 200 reads I'll make a sequal with Jacks POV. I also want to tell you about some important stuff for RotG fans. First there is going to be a Rise of the Guardians 2. My friend saw a commercial about it. Second Guardians of Childhood book 5 is coming out this year in June. I've heard that it might be about Jack. It has to be about Jack because why would William Joyce mention him in one of the books if there isn't gonna be a book about him. Well I guess I should write the story. Enjoy!
I woke up this morning in an old bed in an old cabin. Clockwork told me that I'd be in the year 1712 for a while. At least a year. He told me that a young boy would have to die, but I had to make it look like an accident. When I tried to ask Clockwork why the young boy had to die he would say he had something else to do and ignore my question. The only thing he told me about the boy was that his name was Jackson Overland.
My mother called my siblings and me down to breakfast. I ran over to a small cloth-covered doorway. I ripped open the curtain to a tiny closet filled with petticoats. My petticoats were different shades of pink and purple. My sister Agnes' petticoats were different shades of green. I just grabbed one of my petticoats out of the closet and put it on. It was a rosemary color with a white apron. I ran downstairs to my mother making breakfast.
Mother stood at the stove. "Hurry and eat kids." She said.
"Why?" Payton asked.
"Because, we are going into town to meet some new people." Mother said as she handed us breakfast.
"We do need to meet new people." I said with a smile.
"Oh please! You'll chase everyone away with your smarts!" My sister Agnes cooed.
"Well boys should like girls for what's on the inside, not on the outside." I replied.
"Girls hurry up!" Mother said excitedly.
We all looked at each other surprised. "Mum sure is excited." Adam said.
"Yeah!" Patton said.
We all went into town after breakfast. Children ran around, teenagers either worked or sat around talking. I smiled at a girl running around. Out of the corner of my eye I saw my mother talking to a brown haired woman.
"Kids!" Mother yelled. We all ran to her. "Jenny these are my children. This is Agnes, Adam, the twins Payton and Patton, and Brooklynn." My sister sand I curtsied. My brothers bowed.
"Oh, Gene they're absolutely adorable!" Jenny said pinching Adam's cheek. Adam swatted Janny's hand away.
"Thank you miss..." I started.
"Overland, but I give you permission to call me by my first name." Jenny said smiling. "I actually have two children of my own. Children!" Two kids came over. It was the boy and the little girl. "These ones are mine. Elizabeth and Jackson."
Lizzie curtsied. Jackson smirked. He knew I was the girl from outside the shop. He came over to me and grabbed my hand.
"It's a pleasure to meet you young miss." He said before kissing my hand. I blushed.
"Thank you Jackson. My name is Brooklynn McQue and it's a pleasure to meet you too." I replied.
"My goodness Jack, you're never this much of a flirt!" Jenny said surprised.
"Well none of the girls in this village are as beautiful as this river." He said. He turned to my mother. "Mrs. McQue, do you mind if I show your beautiful daughter around the village?"
"Not at all Jackson! Just have her back by dinner." My mother told him.
Jackson offered his arm. I linked my arm with his and he led me out the door. All of the girls rolled their eyes when they saw Jackson. I giggled a little.
"What?" Jackson asked.
"Oh, nothing it's just, well all of the girls do not seem very happy to see you. Why is that?" I asked.
"Well let's just say, my mother was right. I'm not much of a flirt. I usually pull a lot of pranks on the girls of the village."
I unlinked our arms and looked at him. "Then how do I know you are not pulling a prank on me?" I said.
He chuckled. "Well that depends, do you think I'm a heartless fool who just teases young women? Or do you think I actually have a heart and am trying to be a nice neighbor?"
It didn't take long for me to answer. "Well, nobody's heartless... But there are a lot of fools." He laughed.
"Well I'm not heartless, and I don't mean to brag but, I don't think I'm a fool either." It was my turn to laugh. Jack led me around the village until we ran into the other boys...
