Not Alone

Chapter 1

Angela: *strides in* Hello Everyone! I'm Back and ready to write another fanfiction!
Opal: *muttering* Yeah, back after two months!
Angela: *sweetly* Did you want to say something Opal?
Opal: *backtracking* Nononononononononono...yes! Of course not!
Angela: Good. Now, readers, this is my friend Opal, who is also a fanfiction reader/writer, and is now under the account name QueenKoboi, and she will be helping me with the disclaimers for this story, along with my other friends, who you will meet as we go along. Now, as I was saying...
Jack: hey everyone! Have you seen Baby Tooth?
Angela: Jack! *goes to jump on him but crosses her arms and walks in circles muttering* I am restrained, I am restrained, I am restrained...
Jack: *bemused* What is she doing?
Opal: *matter-of-factly* Trying not to squeal and hug you manically like the fangirl she secretly is.
Angela: *in background* Hey! I'm not a fangirl!
Opal: Whatever you say, Angie. *turns to readers* Angela doesn't own Rise of the Guardians, she only owns Rose. Enjoy!

Jack knew he wasn't going to make it the second he felt the freezing water seize up his legs. He very quickly stopped being able to feel his arms, it was getting harder to move, his lungs screamed for air, and he could barely see through the water. But, at the very least, Rose was okay..

Or at least, she would have been okay if she hadn't lunged forwards, screaming "Jack!" as her dearest big brother crashed through the ice she had been standing on, less an a minute ago. She didn't know why she had reached for him, but it was too late. she threw herself forwards, only barely able to see Jack's body drifting slowly deeper into the water. The ice she was on cracked threateningly.

It was either a useless tragedy or a mercy that she plunged through only seconds later.

At the very least, Rose was okay would have been his last thought had his waterlogged ears not heard the muffled sound of ice cracking and a body plunging through the water. He turned his head as much as he could to see his sister emerge from the resulting cloud of bubbles, flailing in the broken ice.

No.

Rose didn't really know how to swim, but neither did Jack. Even if he did, at this point he couldn't even move, and was already halfway gone. Not that she knew that. She'd never seen anything like this happen before, she hardly knew what drowning was. In her small way, as far as she could tell, if she could somehow propel herself through the water and get to Jack before the pain in their lungs overtook them, everything would be alright. They'd get out, they'd go home, they'd get better. Everything was going to be alright. It had to.

So she worked her screaming muscles as much as she could to get as close to Jack as she could, even as she could see his horrified expression, even as she was slowly losing her ability to move as well,

Even as Jack lost conciousness before she reached him, even as she couldn't even make it to him before her freezing cold body lost as well.

And there they sank.

238,900 miles away, a man watched with great sorrow, pity, and pride. The magic he had would bring them back, surely. What would happen after that? Who knew, but they deserved... not a second chance. There are no second chances. But to continue living in some way, yes,

They deserved that.

Okay, that was the first chapter! As always, I will wait for a predetermined number of reviews(10) telling me that they like it and they want the story to continue, before I post the next chapter. This is only for the first chapter, to make sure I am not just writing for myself. As soon as I know people are watching, I will post every Monday, once a week. See you soon!
