AN: So, I started this nearly two years ago and the first handful of chapters suck. But bear with them, for past chapter 7, they're really good. Well, as good as I am now, which is 4/10/2015.
So please trust me and read through it because this is one of my favorite stories of mine.
Tears rolled down Jack's cheeks as he whimpered and trembled. He hugged his knees to his chest, his bangs sticking to his tear streaked face. His staff lay a few feet away, abandoned by the sobbing winter sprite.
The guardians would never forgive him now. He couldn't be pardoned for what had just happened. He could imagine it now. Bunny yelling, screaming, possibly even hurting him. North not even being able to look at him. Tooth so disappointed, she wouldn't even acknowledge the friendship they once had. Baby Tooth screaming in her chirp language. And the worst, Sandy giving him a look of disappointment that he couldn't stand it.
Jack had a tantrum before his sobbing. He screamed, freezing everything in sight and making the temperature so cold every living thing had to leave. He froze the trees and broke the frozen branches. The crushed frozen bushed and dying flowers. Then he had stopped and looked at his mess. Then he saw what he had caused and broke down.
What would cause Jack Frost to get like this?
He was visiting Brooklyn, bringing snow days as usual. He had stopped in the forest to make it snow on some kid who were playing. They started a snowball fight, Jack secretly joining in. but as they played, the ground became slippery as Jack wasn't paying attention. Suddenly, one of the girls slipped and fell into a ditch.
Jack would never be able to remove that scream from his mind.
The other children screamed her name and ran to get help, but Jack knew they wouldn't make it in time. He stumbled down, gaining a few scratches and one stick jabbed into his arm. He tried to pick the bleeding, freezing girl up, but his hands went through her. He gasped as a feeling of dread filled his stomach.
I… I can't help her…
You have to, Jack!
But I can't!
Then how come you could save your sister!?
He screamed in agony and began his tantrum.
Why can't I save her!?
I'm so USLESS!
I can't do anything right!
And here he was, sobbing in a ditch.
Adults ran over and looked in, seeing the lifeless girl. They hurried down and tried to save her, but all in vain. They soon just carried her away.
You shouldn't have stopped, you're worth nothing!
Jack gasped between sobs as he heard Pitch's voice ring through his mind.
Pitch never said that…
But he is right.
Soon Jack had cried all his tears. Police came, the kids said what happened, and they examined the area. Some walked through Jack, making more gasps slip from his lips.
Soon no one was there but Jack. He eventually fell into a restless sleep.
