Hello! I am starting a new story! I am not abandoning Papa Jack Frost though, so don't worry.

So, this was thought up of and written because I always wondered what would happen when Jack's sister saw him when he was a spirit, and what would happen afterwards. Thus, this was created.

While you are reading this, you might notice that Jack's sister's name is not there. That is why I have a poll up on my profile, asking you guys what the name should be. Please vote on it, so I wouldn't be left calling her "the girl" and "Jack's sister" all the time.

I hope you enjoy!

I DO NOT own Rise of the Guardians.

Chapter 1 - Hysterics

It was like everything was happening in slow motion. The smile on his face, the smile on hers, both relieved that she was safe. Then, the ice broke the relief between them as it cracked, eventually swallowing up her beloved brother with it. "Jack!" she screamed, but it was too late. He had already crashed though the ice. She rushed near the ice hole, where she desperately tried to find her brother in the dark and cold waters. She spotted him, but he looked lifeless.

His flailing of the arms had slowed and his heart slowed down. He floated in the waters, eyes closed, his small cloak waving along to the rhythm of the pond.

One tear, two tears, then everything came out. She cried and screamed, horrified at the event and devastated of her loss. She collapsed to her knees and bent down, her forehead nearly touching the ice. She covered her face as the tears dripped through her fingers.

Her sobs attracted others as they peeked in though the trees, wondering what was going on. Everyone was quiet. One of her friends immediately recognized the girl crying, and sprinted across the ice, being careful to not slip. "What is wrong?" the girl's friend, Isabelle, asked worriedly. "Where is Jack? I thought he was supposed to take you ice skating today!" Almost everyone in the village knew the Overland siblings were going to go out on the pond today, with the elder brother to teach his little sister how to skate.

Isabelle's eyes caught sight of the massive hole, the freezing water steadily lapping out of it. Other's caught it too. Sudden excitement hit the crowd. "Good lord!" "Good heavens!" "How did this even happen?" The girl peeped through her fingers, daring to look at the hole once more, before almost immediately covering her face up again. Isabelle, more alarmed then ever before, asked, "Is Jack in there?" Isabelle felt like breaking down in tears herself. Silence fell as the crowd waited in suspense for the answer. The girl slowly, but surely, nodded. She started to hiccup in her sobs, crying louder than ever before. Then all hell broke loose.

Neighbours rushed over to the Overland household, almost barging in through the door if it weren't for the Overland parents to open the door right after the first few bangs. Mr. Overland was surprised what was going on. "Please!" he shouted, "Settle down!" His wife came from behind, curious what all the ruckus was about. The little group of people soon settled down. "What happened?" Everyone's mouths opened and started to chatter all at once, in an attempt to get the Overlands to understand. Both of them picked up bits and pieces of the babble, getting more and more concerned by each word.

"Ice"

"Cracks"

"Fall"

"Skate"

"Cry"

"Pond"

"Jack"

Once the parents their son's name, they immediately ran over to the frozen over pond, only to find almost all the villagers around one area of the body of water. There were some men using a shepherd's crook to fish the boy out. The women were rushing about, trying to attempt the crying girl.

Everyone started to move out of the way as the Overland parents came hustling over, out of breath from their long run. They spotted their sobbing daughter and started to hush her down with words of comfort. Everyone relaxed a little bit as the cries gradually became softer. Then, the girl's head popped out of the hiding space her hands provided. She had a determined look on her face, and even chuckled to herself a little. Soon, she went into full on laughter. "She lost it." people started to murmur.

Her parents were surprised at her quick recovery. Everyone soon understood why she was laughing. "Oh, Jack!" She said between her guffaws. "You are just having some fun! You are just playing with me!" She laughed some more. "You and your little tricks." She twirled a finger to the hole in the ice. "It's just a game everyone!" she cried.

Mrs. Overland started to breakdown. Her son was drowning in the icy pond, probably already dead, and her daughter has gone crazy. Mr. Overland seems to be the only one that is calm and is actually thinking. He whispered to his wife after a couple minutes of their daughter's hysterics to take their daughter home with her. He was going to stay here and try to get his son out of the pond.

As Mrs. Overland led her daughter out of the pond and back home, the girl kept on yelling to everyone that it was all a joke that Jack was playing on them and that he would soon pop out of the pond like nothing happened. Almost everyone was tempted to leave, as they knew that the Overland boy was very mischievous, but they couldn't take the risk of losing a person that everyone so dearly loved.

Back at the household, the girl's insanity was over as she felt as if she had been ripped apart. The tears started to flow again. The fire was blazing in the little fireplace they had.

The mother was regretting for ever letting the two of them out in the first place. Why couldn't she have said no to all of Jack's persuading and her daughter's puppy dog eyes? Why?

By the time nightfall came, all was silent except for the whimpers of the females, hoping that their beloved family member was alright. The father still hadn't come home. The mother and daughter were talking amongst themselves when they heard the door slam open, then shut. Both of them jumped up and rushed towards the door, their spirits soaring. Had Jack returned? Is Jack alive? What if he really was dead and they couldn't get him out?

Their disappointment showed when the father returned empty handed, all soaked, wet and shivering. "I'm sorry." was all he said. He sounded raspy, like he dove down into the pond multiple times and ran out of breath. He looked like he was at the brink of tears. "The water was too cold. Everyone became tired and hungry. We all tried."

That night, when they had their dinner, they felt there was something missing. Everyone was sniffling, having tear-stained cheeks. There was an empty seat at the dinner table. They were all tempted to call for Jack, half expecting him to burst through the door and running over to the dinner table. He was usually always late for dinner because he was playing outside with the other younger kids that were either already finished dinner or hadn't had any yet.

There is going to be a hole in everyone's hearts that will take a lot of time to mend tonight.

So this is just the intro. It'll get longer. It'll also get more interesting too (I hope). As you can see, I did no research whatsoever.

Next chapter will have the actual action and plot in it.

I hope you have enjoyed and I hope to have you at the next chapter.

Please review, favourite, and/or follow! I love all those, as those make me smile. :)

Leave any suggestions in the reviews too, or PM me. Who knows? They could be used later on, giving you credit too, of course.

Thank you for reading and have a nice day!
