Prologue
"Come on, Jack," called Jamie, "it's story time!"
"Coming!" cried his five-year-old son rushing to the bedroom and jumped in his bed. "I'm ready!" he grinned. His father laughed and picked up a book of fairytales.
"Is 'Rapunzel' okay?" he asked, Jack nodded and Jamie started reading the story of the girl with long golden hair.
Jack Frost was watching through the window smiling. It was really nice of Jamie's to name his son after him! The Guardian had always been there, beside his first believer. But even though Jamie still believed, he was preoccupied with his family and Jack was feeling kinda left out. Sure, he had the other Guardians but… something was missing. Jack sighed, then shook it off and tried to smile – Jamie had told him about the lunar eclipse that night which would be interesting. The guardian wanted to believe him, but a feeling of uneasiness had crept in the back of his mind and wouldn't leave. But creepy or not, the eclipse was about to start, so Jack silently bid the family goodbye and flew to the roof.
He sat there and looked up to the moon whose light was slowly beginning to dim. "Why am I so lonely?" he asked. "I don't get it, I have Jamie, the other kids, the Guardians, but there's still… a hole. Please, tell me… tell me why…" But the pale sphere was silent, reddening ever so slowly. Soon it would be fully eclipsed.
Jack sighed. "Just send me a sign that I won't be alone forever, okay?"
He didn't notice that the last silver rays cast not one but four shadows behind him. And after a moment it was too late – there was no more light that could show him the shades, for the eclipse was full.
A/N: That's for the short prologue. The story won't be Jack-centered, even though it may seem so at first. Constructive criticism is highly appreciated, especially if it's about characters being OOC. I'll be updating weekly on Thursdays.
