Hey Guys! This is my very first Rise of the Guardians fic, and I'm really really excited for it. PLUS, it's the first story of mine that is fully planned out, so I already know the ending, and that means there's a much better chance of me finishing it (which is awesome because I've only ever managed to finish ONE of my other stories which is a bad reputation, let's face it.) So here it is! My first Jack x Jamie story! Enjoy!
Two years old.
Jack was alone. He'd been alone for over three hundred years. He had almost given up on someone seeing him. It never failed to hurt him when someone walked through him, and he had barricaded himself in a small town, where nobody seemed to mind that it was snowy a lot more than it should have been. He lay in a tree, watching the snow falling down in a way matching his miserable mood. Little flurries were wisping around, but nobody seemed to be bothered with it. Anybody who didn't like the snow didn't stay, though the residents of this small town seemed to love the snow; they seemed to treasure it, much to Jack's pleasure.
The frost door to the house Jack was sitting by opened and a man and woman came out holding a small boy around two years old. Jack watched as the little boy tried his best to run in the fresh fallen snow, chuckling quietly as the boy fell in the snow, giggling happily. Jack liked watching the kids the most. They enjoyed the snow in such a pure, innocent way. The adults, while they appreciated the snow, often didn't take the time to stop and really enjoy it. Children, they didn't have to watch the time. They were able to love what he did, and that made him feel slightly more needed; wanted even.
The boy's parents were currently helping the small boy make a snowman. Jack watched, envious of the family. He wished that he had someone; anyone else to be with him. However, nobody saw him, and the Guardians were much too busy to even give him a second glance, except to scold him when he screwed something up. He listened closely as they talked to the small boy. Jamie? That must be his name.
Jack smiled and chuckled quietly as he watched the small boy lifted off the ground to reach the head of the snowman. Jamie's mother wrapped a scarf around the snowman as little Jamie added a carrot nose. Jack just chuckled at that.
As it grew darker, the boy and his parents went inside, leaving Jack feeling melancholy. He wanted to have a family; parents, siblings. Being alone just wasn't working for him. He was lonely; so lonely. With that last thought, Jack flew off, leaving behind a lightly falling snow.
Yes, so it was short. I admit it. But it's the first chapter, and Jamie is so young that he can't really interact with Jack yet. But I swear this was important! It's short and boring, but still very important. You get to see what's in Jack's mind, and his interest in Jamie's life. Hold on and bear with me! In a few chapters this will get very interesting. Also, the chapters are going to jump around a bit, so watch the top for how old Jamie is. Thanks~!
