"Jack?" Pippa whispered besides me. Her and I were peeking over a dark green bus h; glancing at the net that was not- so -sudally covered in leaves and twigs. It was Easter Sunday, and me and Pippa wer e awaiting the arrival of the Easter bun ny.
As for the net, it was a tradition of ours. Ever since Pippa could walk and string words together, I had taken her out into the woods on Easter morning. We would set up the net and wait behind a tree or a bush and try and catch the Easter Bunny. Of course, if we ever caught him, we would let him go. But Pippa had always wanted to see him; and so had I. So, t here we sat of the dew covered grass, waited for an egg-hiding rabbit to come around. I turned to my little sister, who' s eyes were full of wonder and curiosity , and smirked.
"Yeah, Pippa?" I whispered back to her, leaning in close as to minimize the sound; after all, rabbits had good ears. Pip pa put her mouth next to my ear so that I could hear her better.
"Do you think that we will catch the Easter Bunny?" she questioned. I breathed out a laugh and glanced at my little six year old sister.
"Definitely. If not this year, then the next. If not then eventually." I answered with a wink, and Pippa gave a sigh of relief. I giggled as she settled back on to her place. We glanced at each other and smirked our famous trouble- filled smiles.
In front of us, we heard a whoosh;
Then a snap;
And a swoosh.
Wide eyed, we whipped our heads toward t he net so fast that Pippa brown hair twirled around her and mine swayed. A gasped escaped my mouth, and a squeal left Pippa's, as we saw the sight before us.
The net was set off.
But it was empty.
We looked at each other with an amazement in our eyes. Our mouths were gaped open in shock. Then we did the only thing that seem logical.
We burst out laughing. Making the noise echo off of every surface in the forest and causing the birds to fly off in fear . We rolled on the ground clutching our stomachs as our clothes stained with grass smudges.
And we did not stop until our mother cal led us in for breakfast.
"Jack." I heard in a faint whisper. I mumbled and turned over. As the fog in my mind began to part, I realized that I was lying down and my head was lying of something very furry. My eyes shot open and I quickly sat up. Running a hand through my white hair, I tried to remember what was going on.
I was in guardian meeting. I had been looking around the room, being extremely bored from North's speech about how much mischief the elves had been causing lately (which was near to none). Then I got had gotten a headache, like I always did when I was about to get hit with another memory from my human life. Tooth had l aid me down on Bunny's leg (though I had thoroughly protested) and I fell asleep and began dreaming of my old life.
Looking around, I noted that I was on a couch in North's workshop. The guardians all hovered around me with worry spread on their faces. I turned around and saw that Bunny (whose leg I had been leaning on) had the same look on his face.
"What is it?" I asked. Whenever I got a bit of my memory back they were usually all smiles and wanting to know what had happened. I looked at all of them, trying to find and answer, when Sandy pointed to his face; motioning for me to do the same. My hand touched my face and I quickly pulled it away, confused. Looking d own, I saw that my hand was wet; the small bit of water glistened in the light. I whipped my head around and looked into my reflection in a glass window. I was shocked by what I saw.
My face was stained with tears.
I had been crying.
I don't understand. I thought to myself, very confused, It had been a good memory right? I had been having fun with my sister. A sob escaped my throat at the thought, and my bright blue eyes widened in realization.
I miss my sister. I concluded. Silent tears began to creep down my face as I remembered her. My little sister. My best friend.
Pippa Frost.
Tooth flew over and sat next to me on the couch. She placed her slender hand of my back and I jumped slightly, still not used to the physical contact. the hand retracted, but quickly took it's place a gain, rubbing my back through my hoodie in a soothing way.
"Jack," Tooth began, "was it a bad memory?" Her question made me giggle; and the giggle cause a confused look to settle on everyone's faces.
"No." I answered her, trying to reassure them all that I was fine, "It wasn't a bad memory." A breath of relief filled t he room, and the wind seemed to dance at the fact that I was okay.
"Then why were ya cry'n?" Bunny asked, s till a bit confused.
"I... I remembered my sister a bit more. " I said, looking down at my staff, "My first memory was of her, but the more I remember, the more I miss her. I just... I miss my little sister." I sniffed and brushed away a few fresh tears that were gathering in my eyes. The wind swirled around me, trying to comfort me most likely. My hair ruffed and my hoodie swayed. I let out a small breath of a laugh and silently thanked the wind for it's support in the matter. The wind was always there for me. From the day I rose from the ice; it was my best friend now.
Tooth pulled me into a bone crushing hug , and was then accompanied by the rest o f the guardians. I laughed and put my arms around them all. My new family. Though it did not have a sister in it, this family would do perfectly. The guardians pulled away from me with smiles plastered on all of their faces, mine included.
"Hey Jack?" Bunny asked, capturing the attention of the room. I turned to the giant Pooka and gave him a smile, showing the teeth that Tooth and her mini fairies loved so much.
"Yeah, Cottontail?" I asked. Bunny rolled his eyes at the nickname, but shrugged it off.
"What was your sister's name?" He questioned, curious to know the name of the girl that Jack Frost would cry over.
"Oh, her name was Pippa." I replied simply, "Pippa Frost." A gasped and a smash filled the room, and I looked around. North had dropped the plate of cookies that he was holding. Everyone's face had shock plastered on it.
"Shit." Bunny murmured. Placing his head in his paws.
"350 year, and there has only been one girl with that name." North whispered.
Bunny looked as though he was about to cry.
Sandy was sitting down, staring at Jack in shock and trying to collect his thoughts.
Tooth, was staring wide eyed at the winter spirit. Her hands covering her mouth that was no doubt gaping open in shock.
My brow furrowed together as I glanced a round the room again, confused and a bit annoyed.
"What is is?" I asked no one in general with irritation and curiosity spilling i n my voice. What was the big deal about my sister?
"Jack," Tooth whispered, sorrow evident in her usual cheery voice, "we knew your sister."
