Young Eternal

by SocksinSpace

BEING RE-WRITTEN UNDER THE TITLE 'Youth and Fear' Too young, but too strong to let die, MiM revives a four-year old Jack Frost and places him in the care of North. Can North handle his job, a child with near cosmic powers, and the rising threat of the Boogieman all at once? I do not own ROTG nor any of the characters within.

1. A Boy, A Cave, and Silver Light

Jack shivered and shook, holding tightly to his chest a weeping bundle of bubbling baby girl. "Shhh, shhh, you're okay. I wont let you freeze." He refused to even entertain the idea of his sister freezing to death in this cold, so why would he ever let her freeze willingly?

Emma squealed in distress, the cold biting at her skin. "C'mon, Emma, Pa'll find us."

Jack was feeling sluggish, and the fact that the cold was wearing down on him like this only made him curl around his sister protectively, shielding her from the harsh winds that blow in from the cave mouth. If he can't handle the cold then she surely can't. "I should have stayed with Pa, I never listen.. I am so sorry sis." The four year old sighed with icy breath, his body heat having been drained mercilessly from his very bones.

"So…." His fingers were steadily turning blue and his mind slowing dramatically. "Sowwy…." His voice slurred and, slowly, very slowly, his eyes closed. The last thing Jack hears before he looses consciousness is his Pa desperately crying his name, and the last thing he sees is a bright, silver light shining on him from outside.
