A/N:Hi everyone! This is my first ROTG fic. And of course it's about my favorite fictional character! There is no shipping and it's mainly an argument with himself. The italics are his actual thoughts and the regular font is the depressing voice. This goes from before the movie to after. I'm thinking about writing a form of this in a more narrative style, so please tell me what you think! So of course Read & Review! And enjoy!
Disclaimer:I don't own Rise of The Guardian characters. But I thank William Joyce and Peter Ramsey for bringing them into fruition (totally don't know if I spelled that right)!
Run. Just keep running. Stay free. You're Jack Frost! Don't let anything hold you back. That's what keeps you safe.
Does it?
Run. You forgot where you came from anyway. Just keep running. Why think about feelings? They'll go away.
But will they really?
Run! It's just you and the wind. Just keep running. This is what you want. Total freedom. You will be just fine.
Do I want to be just fine? Do I even know me?
Run! There's a sign of something. Just keep running. They say you're apart of something. But you know it's not true.
Do I know? What if I find what I've been looking for? What if I'm-
RUN. You made a mess of everything. Just keep running. You're not one of them. You know it was your fault. You already got what you wanted.
Is this what I want? To always be running? To always-
RUN. Who cares? Just keep running. If you stay, you can be hurt. It's safer to run.
But if I stay, I will protect Jamie. If I stay I can feel loved-
RUN! Just save Jamie. Just keep running. You'll-
How can I ever be accepted if I'm always moving? How can I not be alone?
RUN! Just keep running! You don't deserve love. You want to-
I KNOW! I just want to be loved. To be be believed in. I, I just don't know how.
RUN!You know how to do that! Just Keep-
No. I have to-
RUN!
NO.I need to stop running. I can stop running. I'm safe. I'm with the Guardians.
RUN!
NO. I have to stay. I have to protect the kids. I have to help the Guardians.
RUN!
NO. We won. They see me. I'm vulnerable and scared but even if I ran now they would follow.
RUN.
I could run but who would I be hurting more, them or myself? I don't want to hurt the Guardians anymore.
RUN.
Do I really want to run? Do I want to leave my friends, my family? I'm accepted, loved, wanted. I'm not alone.
Run!
It's nice (and hard) to learn how to love again. I know they look at me and see this but they still haven't let go.
Run!
I don't have to worry about being safe for myself anymore. The others do that for me. They protect me, advise me, play with me, care for me. It feels nice.
Run.
It's scary to have people to love and worry about. We fight and there's sudden dread that I might lose them because of me. But the smiles and warmth reassure me.
Run.
Why run? I ran to survive. I'm joking with Sandy, roughhousing with Bunny, learning with Tooth, and helping North. There's an inkling habit of survival left but I'm not surviving, I'm living.

It's easier to get hurt. There's biting comments, mostly from Bunny, that bite to hard, but now I always have someone to run to. But most of the time he finds me.
